GOVERNOR SHAW.
Guest of Mahaska County Peo-
pie on Monday.

Hon L. M. Shaw Iowa's excellent
governor, spent Monday among Ma
haska county people and was roy
ally received on all sides. He adj
dressed two great audiences, one at
New Sharon and one at Muchakinock,
and did some splendid work for the
republican cause.
At Muchakinock the big hall was
packed. every eeat and inch of stand
ing roo being taken, and more than
double the number OF people stood
up outside the building Committee
man JacobSWilson call-d the meeting
to order and introduced George H.
Woodson, as Chairman of the even
ing. Mr.. Woodson in turn made q
few characteristic and fitting re-
marks and introduced Mr.. Shaw, who
was greeted by a cloudburst of ap
plause. His talk was well received
and everybody was glad to have seer
and heard. as Mr.. Woodson put it,
lone of the best governors the grea
state of Iowa has ever had" The
Muchakinock band furnished music
for the occasion and Prof. Jackson
and bis boys have reason to be prout
of their efforts
After Mr.. Shaw had finished the
several candidates for county Office
we're intro uced by the chairman
and each and every one fthem mad
a fine impression on the audience
reception was then held on the stag
and more than three hundred came
forward and shook hands with tn
governor. The meeting was an ex
cellent one in every way.
AT NEW SHARON.
In the afternoon Governor Shaw
spoke at New Sharon and Concef
nall was packed with people anxiou
TO hear the gentleman. When tn
room became so crowded the govern
or arose and suggested that the audi
ence move closer TO the stage atforG
ing more room in the rear of the
nall. The suggestion IA quickl!
acted upon and accommodation wa
given to about two hundred NOR
people. Fully a half more peopl
than the hall could accommodate,
we're turned away.
MIR Shaw made one of his charac
teristic speeches quiet and analytical
and wonderfully convincing. 1t is ne
wonder the gentleman has been IL
demand as a campaign orator. The
questions that have been before the
people were handled in an honest
and straight forward manner thai
could not be otherwise THAI convinc.
ing and the effect of the speech will
be &c convert a number of old tins
democrats who heard the talk. One
of the gentlemen came forward ano
told the governor that his speech had
convinced him. "It's hard to give
up and acknowledge it'' he said "but

In the mountains west of the big
gorge lived the tribe of Cappa Tom,
and the chieftain of the tribe, Singing
Water. was proud of his 500 braves.
who were tall and 1.-THE and strong
and mighty huntsmen; and he was
proud of the buxom squaws and the
fat papooses In the mountain camp.
No enemy in the region for hundred
leagues about dared give battle to
Singing Water, for the fame of his
braves had spread even to the great
forest on the north and the marsh
lands on the south.
Once upon a time, so the legend
says Singing Water found among the
children in the tepees a poor little
papoose, shrunken diminutive dwarf
child, Of whom the other Indian boys
made sport and forbade him their
amusement; so Little Injin" would
sit cross-legged apart from his fellows,
and watch them at play.
Chief Singing Water sent for him
one day, and to the trembling, shrink
ing, little figure before him he grunted
words Of disapproval and with a frown
on his face he spoke to Little In
jin."
Hal Little Injin. You good not at
all. You very small! You crooked
like manzanilla tree; you sick like dy-
ing squaw; you ugly like sinking fox;
you can no fight, you can no hunt. So,
ugh You go old squaw; you grind
acorns, you make fires. you cook, like
squaw Little lnjin. you no good"
When the words were uttered a
change came over the face and form
of Little Injin. He stood as erect as
his crooked limbs would permit, and
with a set stern face and an angry
voice he dared answer Singing Water.
big chief, you say Little Injin no
good. Little Injin SICK Little Injin
| crooked; Little lnjin ugly; Little Injin
no fight; Little Injin no hunt; only
| grind acorns and make fires for squaw.
Little 1njin no more stay with you;
Little Injin go far off; you see Little
| Injin 10 more!"
| He hobbled away from the presence
of Singing Water, and that night he
