IN THE UPPER SIXTH.
General Sentiment Tint Lacey Will Re
Unanimously Renolnlnnted.

Grinnell. May 1s.-(Special. )-The
l1ohtica situation in Poweskiek county
is somewhat on the order of comic OPP
era. Lon Boydston is candidate for
congress on the gold democratic ticket,
which branch will probably make no
nomination. Lon is sound on the mon
2ey question, but where the votes are
to come from that will elect him is
a question that has not and can not
be answered.
The republicans of this county will
give Lacey his usual. majority in No
syember. Poweshiek county seems to
be the balance. OF power in the dis
trict, the other counties being usually,
a stand-otf. Ii is likely that Captain
Carr will receive a complimentary vote
from the Poweshiek delegation, out
when it comes to a nomination Lacey
will get it. Captain Carr is one of the
first class citizens Of the county, dis
trict or state, with fine military rec
ord, and received complimentary no.
tice lin his colonel's report of the bat
tie of Opeynan, September 10, 1864.
Under almost any other conditions
than now exist, the republicans would
be glad of an opportunity to show
their appreciation Of the captains
ability and devotion to the cause OF
republicanism. But not this year. 1t
is the general sentiment that the prop
err thing TODD is to give Lacey another
term. He is worth more to Iowa than
any new man can be. Captain Carr's
time will come later.

AFTER THE MEDICINE MAN,
Revenue collector Sfezes Quantity OF
Medicine.

Deputy Revenue Collector John
O'Neil, of Burlington, yesterday seized
a quantity of medicine in this city, the
bottles containing the same not bear
ing the proper revenue stamp, and
carried it up to the postoffice, where it
is stored. The owner of the medicine
was not found in possession, hence
he has not yet been placed under ar
rest.
e In some occult way the collector
learned that consignment of medi-
cine would pass thru the city which
was not properly stamped. He repair
ed to the office of Commissioner Hun
ter, and securing search warrant
went to the Milwaukee freight depot,
where the object of the search was
found. 1t consisted of a large quantity
of so-called Indian medicine, tent and
other paraphernalia likely to be cal.
ried by an outfit OF this kind. 1t was
awaiting transfer to the Rock Island
freight depot, but the collector fast
ened onto it and took it to he post
office building, where about four dray
loads of it is stored.

poRrRArr OF CHIEF wApELLo.

library.

Des Moines. May 1s.-The board
which has charge of the state library
and historical department has ordered
Curator Aldrich to procure portraits
in oil of Black Hawk and Wapello.
and an order has been placed with
Charles A. Cumming, a Des Moines ar
fist, for the work, for which he will
receive $500. This is the first time in
history that the state of Iowa has
directed that money be expended for
portraits of Indians. The paintings
will be life-size and will be placed in
the gallery of the historical depart
ment. The portraits will be made
from old colored Autographs in Nc
Kenney and Halls History of the In
dian Tribes prepared in 1888.
Wapello, whose name signifies
prince. was a chief of the Musqua-
KEGS. He was one of the delegation
led by Keokuk to Washington in 1887,
and in the council called by the secre-
tary of war for the purpose of recon-
cling the Sioux with the Sauks and
Foxes, spoke next after Keokuk. Re
spending to a warm reception by Gov
ernor Everett, Wapello expressed such
kindly feelings for the whites and was
so earnest in his manner as 10 call
forth tremendous applause. The pic
ture of Wapello from which the oil
portrait will be made is said to repre-
sent the best Indian face of which a
likeness has ever been made.

-"Bryan'' the Slogan.
Iron Saturdays Daily,

Democrats have adopted a new plan
in soliciting campaign funds, and the
success with which their efforts have
been met in this city would indicate
that the plan is success and makes
1T possible for them to put up one Of
the hardest fights in which democracy
ever engaged. Two representatives of
the national democratic committee
have been in town for the past two
or three days and are making an indi-
vidual canvass of democrats soliciting
funds which are to be used to advan-
tage in making a strong effort to elect
William Jennings Bryan as president
of the United States. Hundreds Of
democrats have been visited in this
city and it is said that the first days
canvass resulted in securing pledges
for over 5000. Ii this was fair days
work, the inference would be that
The canvassers are under the chaper-
introduced them. These gentlemen
state that ". J. Bryan will be the
nominee of the democrat convention,
and that the: national democratic cen
trail committee is taking time by the
forelock and making arrangements for
a huge campaign fund to be used in
his behalf, made necessary by the in
fuence of Wall street and the money
ed men, popularity supposed to make
up the bulk of the republican party.
One of the representatives stated to a
prominent democrat that he had never
been refused contribution, but this
prominent democrat turned him down
nevertheless. s3ss
1t is said that these representatives.
are being sent out all over the country,
even into admittedly republican states
like Iowa, and it can but result in but
one thing where an individual canvass
is made-an ample fund. The canvass
er is authorized to receive no money,
but presents pledges to the persons
whom he interviews, who pledge them
selves to give a stipulated amount on
or before September l and send it di-
rect to headquarters. In this way
large amounts are being secured, the
sum total of which is expected to do
as efficient work as and take the
place of a platform with live issues
in it.
