THOS. H. GRUBB.

When Supreme Court Clerk Jones
found it necessary to appoint a depu-
ty to succeed Mr.. Emmett Brown, he
appointed Mr.. Thos. H. Grubb. There
is no question but that Mr.. Grubb's
appointment was an excellent one,
and that he will continue the Same
satisfactory service that has always
characterized Mr.. Jones' Office. Mr..
Grubb is from Columbus Junction,
where he has been deputy postmas-
ter. He is we'll known and esteemed
and the people who do business with
the supreme court are to be congrat-3
ulated on his appointment. MI.
Grubb acquitted himself with honor
as a. member of the 51st Iowa.

the regiment until the war ended.
He served two terms as county audi
tor of his county, and later made a
most valuable member of the state
senate, achieving golden opinions as
chairman of the committee on agrl-
culture. Governor Shaw appointed
him to fill the uneXpired term of the
lpate Major Davidson, railroad COM
missioner. Again he proved his fit
ness for an Office of trust and receiv-
ed the unanimous nomination of the
state convention for the Office in 1898,
and again last fall. Few men have
more real friends. His unassuming
manner, uniform courtesy, and abso-
lutte fairness, have gained for him the
esteem and confidence of those of all
parties, races and classes.

HON. DAVID J. PALMER.
There are few men in Iowa who are
more widely or favorably known
than David j. Palmer, who was born
in Washington Co., Pa, in 1899, and
came to Iowa in 1856. When the civil
war began, he enlisted in Company c,
Eighth Iowa infantry, and saw as
much service as any other man. At
Shiloh he was shot through the
breast, producing wound that would
have been fatal to most men, and
was taken prisoner. He afterwards
escaped and was discharged on ac-
count of disability. He came home,
but before the wound had entirely
healed he recruited a company which
became Company c, Twenty-fifth
Iowa. In June, 1868, for gallantry
at the seige of Vicksburg he was
promoted lieutenant colonel, and
