"rganiZ1tiOn'
His shiIity to organize the forces
in the "Narch c0vention" placed
HIM in charge Of the campaign.
and ne was the field marshal who
carried Tilinuan t0 succ-ss. Az
chairman of the executive com.
nlttee of the reform movement in
1890, he WAS "TilIman's lirulcp
ant, and his knowledge of State
affairs and of people, his political
acumen and sagscity and his ac-
knowledyed fidelity to the Reform
! party made him next in promi-
',~nco TO Til1msn.
He W. reelected to the Iegis>
aturs in 1890, and became speaker
OF the house A man of ability,
of fine appearance and of good
voice he was capable to fill the
position.
What has by some bcen regar-
ct as a great political crime on tho
part of the Reform movement
was the defeat Of Wade HAMPTON
for Ie-electlon to the l.. S. senate.
When Gen hampton's time ex,
| pired IN 1890, Irhv was elected To
succeed hum. Irby's career in
the United States senate cannot bs
said to have been a brilliant one. as
WAS expected after tho campaign
of the Reform movement.
! He made his maiden political
speech in debate on repeal OF the
purchasing clause of the Sherman
law. He opposed the position
nsScn by President Cleveland and
| his cabinet on rhs silver issue.
In the tariff fight he twice hold
the balance of power, and
though disspproving of some
features of the measure, be voted
with the Democrats to save them
from isnominious defeat. Whom
| Congressman Lstinsr and Strait
were bIacklistsd and cla-sad a,
PopuIists by the po.tollice depart
ment, Senstor lrby made q spirited
ldefsnce Of them before Wilson )
BlsSell, postmastar general, and
hal them restored to thsir rights
as Democrats. Irby was hut SO
years old ~hon he took his seat
Ia the United States senate on tho
same day that w j Bryan vas
sworn into the house of rsprsssn-
tatiVes, and like Bryan, he WAS an
advocate of the free coinage OF
silver. In 1892 he wa. delegate
at large to the national Democratic
convention at Chicago, which
nominated Grover Cleveland for
president.
Senator Irby was member of
the constitutional convention in
1898. There, as in tho Stats
legislature, he declined to take
part in partisan and fooIhardy
legislation, and was engaged at
times IN spirited debates with
other leaders in that body. 1t was
sls fate to causs tho dIsplsasure of
Senator Tillman, and in 1896 he
did not stand for re election.

IS LIABLE
Judge Clements Holds Liquor
Cannot be Sent C. o. D.

Newton, Aug 4.--For some weeks
agents of the Iowa Anti-Saloon
League have been quietly securing
evidence against local violators of
the liquor laws, and as a result of
their work have commenced suits
against number of druggists, restu-
rant keepers and others in Newton
and adjacent towns. Among the
suits commenced was one against
the Adams Express Company, charg-
ing itwith violating the prohibitory
law by bringing liquor into the state
O. o. d. The league made the claim
that sale of liquor made on an or
der from Iowa, filed by non-resi-
dent dealer and completed by deliv-
ering to the Iowa customer at a
point in this state @. o. D., 10 sale
within this state and falls under our
criminal laws. The company con-
tended that such transaction is a
foreign sale, and not within 1.-The
Jurisdiction of the Iowa law, and
fully protected by the interstate COM
merce clause of the constitution.
The case against the express COM
pany was tried before Judge Glenn
ents and he today found the company
guilty and imposed a fine of s4OO.
The company will appeal from his
decision. The other cases are set
for trial August "a.

SALVATION ARMY.
News and Notes of the Work Of This
Body.

The Salvation Army ice wagons in
the large cities are doing bountiful
work this hot weather down among
the poor. Six pounds of ice for one
cent.
Thirty-five youngimen and women
were given commission at the Sal
walton Army training school in Chi
cago last month Kand sent forth to
preach the gospel.
The Salvation Army camp meeting
at Cedar River Park, Waterloo, Iowa,
opened August 2 and will close August
10. Grand meetings are in progress.
Everybody welcome.
DR.. Bunce and Rev. Miller spoke at
the Salvation Army hall Wednesday
evening. God bless the Holiness peo-
ple! 1t did our hearts good. They
are to hold meetings at Belfast, Iowa.
The half night of prayer at the Sal
walton Army last Saturday evening
was beautiful success, and though
the weather was somewhat damp yet
fifty people took part. A steady spir-
itual meeting continued from p. m
until 11:45 p. m. We must have more
of these kind of meetings.
Said a certain man in OskaIoosa
not long ago: "You may speak OF the
Salvation Army as you will, but have
a chance to see, and know they are
doing a work that is blessing to
every city or town they are in, though
often they are sneered at. For, "said
he, many church members first found
the Savior at the drum or Salvation
Army penitent form. And 1 always
make it an objectl to assist them in
their work"

A Tough Customer.

Saturday evening seemed to be a
special evening for DRINKS and the
town was full of them. The police
caught seven of them and the rest
got away. One of the arrests made
was a particularly hard customer to
handle and he gave the police plenty
of entertainment for hot night. He
would not be taken and was drunk
enough to be very troublesome. He
was burly fellow weighing in the
neighborhood of two hundred and
forty or fifty pounds, was all bone
and muscle and would have given
Jeffries or Corbet terrible go. Four
police officers were required to land
the fellow and even then there had
to be an improvised ambulance made
of the fire truck to get the fellow to
the court house Jail. At the door of
the Jail the prisoner would not go in
and he tore about half the clothing
from Officer Mastin before he was
landed in cell. 1t was the hardest
nut that the police have had to crack
for many moon.

A Wine Accident.

Joe Carr, a miner of Colon, was
quite severely injured by fall of
slate in the Colon mine. Wednesday
morning about $3.50 o'clock Carr with
some other miners was engaged in
driving a new entry to a new vein of
coal. The entry was through fault
and the roof was very uncertain,
There was cave in and Carr was
caught by large piece of slate Just
as he was on the point of leaving the
mine. The slate bore him down and
doubled him up so that his head was
almost between his feet. Help was
at hand and the man was soon lib
Grated. There were but a few
scratches on his body but there are
internal bruises and injuries that
may cause the man considerable
trouble for some time.

THE P. 0. BUILDING.
A Discrepancy in the Deeds, De.
laying Matters.

In response to an inquiry Congress
man Lacey received word yesterday
that the deed for the property on
which the postoffice building is to be
erected had been referred to the at
torney general for correction on July
z, and had not been returned to the
treasury department. 1t appears that
the deed calls for more money than
the bid to the government did, the
difference having been made up by a
subscription of property holders in
terested in having the buildinglocated
on the Salvation Army corner. The
matter will be fully explained to the
attorney general and as soon as he
makes his report the deal will be
closed. The government is very par
ticular and methodical, but the i'm
provement for Oskaloosa is now near
at hand.

Deserved RECOGNITION.

EDITORS HERALD:-The fact that
Gov. Shaw has announced that he
would not take up the question of
appointing a United States Senator
until sufficient probation of time
had expired in honor of the memory
of the late Senator Gear, is quite
proper and will meet universal ap-
proval. Nevertheless this will not
in any way stop the expressions of
opinion as to who is the proper man
to appoint and what relation or eff
feet the appointment will have on
the selection and election for the
full term. Nothing better than con-
lecture at this time is available. On
that point it is possible the governor
may have determined this, but if so,
the public is not in his confidence.
Contention may result in calling the
legislature to meet in extra session
to settle both the short and long
term problem. That would relieve
the governor of all responsibility and
more than likely meet general COM
m sndations. Be this as it may, the
mooted question is who is the best
man under consideration, who is the
man that the entire state would pre-
fer? The representatives of the peo-
pie are supposed to know pretty
near the wishes of their constituents
even il they do not at all times con-
form to the demands made on them
by said constituents. That there is
good lot of sound timber to draw
upon, all will agree. Personal pref
erence too often makes us unreason-
able partisans. We have had an ex-
ample of that kind in time just past,
and it would be we'll to avoid this as
far as possible The fact that the
party in power selects their choice
does not alter the fact that a senator
represents all citizens of the state,
irrespective of politics. This being
true, it occurs to me that a broad
minded man, thoroughly in touch
with his party, and fully developed
statesman should meet quick recog-
milton, and as before stated, where
do we find such a man? We venture
the assertion that with one accord
the citizens of the great state of
Iowa will endorse me when | state
that we have all the requisite qualifi-
cations in the person of our dis
tinguished fellow citizen, the Hon.
John F. Lacey, whose long and hon
orable career in congress has given
to him wide and we'll deserved fame.
Major Lacey would at once, if sent
to the U. s. Senate, be potent fac
tor in national legislation an he has
been in the lower house. Mentally,
morally aud physically Major Lacey
is all right. To say he has earned
recognition is no exaggeration; this
is conceded on all sides, and we
most earnestly urge that the people
see to it that their representatives
give the matter their earnest and
conscientious consideration. If they
will do this we will have an able and
tireless worker for the whole people.
AS we progress in this matter it may
be necessary to give some additional
facts bearing on past efficient and
honorable service.
