A Molder of American Destiny.

Sixty-four years ago this March Tex
as declared its absolute independence,
and Samuel Houston, an American
born soldier, led the Texans into bat
tie against the Mexicans.
Samuel Houston, who died on the
Goth of July, SO years ago., was one of
those robust and active pioneers who
have played important parts in mold
ing the destinies of the United States.
Though born in Virginia, he was of
Scotch-Irish descent. Before he had
attained his majority he was lieuten-
ant in the United States infantry, and
while still a mere boy was acting as a
sub-agent for the Cherokee Indians.
Although he had been a stranger to
school education, he set to work and
qualified as lawyer at 20, and the
next year was appointed adjutant gen.
eral of Tennessee. After a varied
career in American politics, he moved
to Texas in 1892, and when elected
commander in chief of the Texan
forces set to work putting his army in
shape. The war with Mexico followed
shortly after, and on the banks of the
San Jacinto, Houston crushed the Mex
lean force. He became the first presi-
dent of the new republic and two years
later took the initial steps toward Sc
curing the annexation of Texas to the
United States. When President Van
Buren, hesitated in this matter, Hous-
ton, with characteristic energy, began
to coquette with France, Spain and
England. But rather than have for
eign power intrude on American soil,
Texas became a part of Uncle Sam S

time he was mayor of Newell for five
years and member of the school

with honor and credit. In 1891 Mr..

His official reports are perhaps the

HON. f. r. MERRIAM, AUDITOR.
That the scriptural saying, "a
prophet is not without honor save in
his own country" does not always
hold good is shown by the career of
Hon. Frank +. Merriam, who has been
the recipient of many honors, not
only by the people of his county, but
of the entire state. Mr.. Merriam was
born at Hopkinton, Iowa, in 1865, and
has lived there practically all of his
life. He grew up on his fad hers
farm, experiencing the ordinary joys
and sorrows of farmer boys He at
tended the district schools, and when
older taught in them. In 1888 he
graduated from Lenox college, and
Immediately after was elected prin-
cipal of the Hopkinton school, which
he successfully filled for three years.
He was then made superintendent of
the Postville school, but at the ex-
piration of the first year resigned to
become editor of the Hopkinton
Leader. He was elected member
of the Twenty-sixth general assem-
bly,, and reelected to the Twenty
seventh, making an enviable reputa-
ton in his legislative career. In the
Twenty-siXth he served as chairman
Of the committee on compensation
of public officials, and at a special
session was appointed one Of three to
Investigate sevent cen state institutions

nomination for governor. It was
predicted that he would give the
state business administration, and
the prediction has proven true. In
1899 he was renominated by acclama-
ton. His strong and impartial ad-
ministration has pepularized him
with all classes. He presided at the

in 1898, and has often been called up.

OUR GOVERNOR.

OUR GOVERNOR.
1t is with much more than ordinary
pleasure that we refer to Governor
Leslie NJ. Shaw, who, among all the
historic executives of the state, has
never suffered by comparison with
any. Governor Shaw was born in
Vermont in 1S48, and his boyhood
days were spent on farm. He re-
ceived his preliminary education in
the country schools. He afterward
spent two terms at the local academy
and then taught school for several
years. In 1869 he came to Iowa and
by working on a farm, teaching and
selling nursery stock saved enough
to graduate at Cornell college in 1874.
In 1872 he married Miss Alice Craw-
shaw, a most estimable young lady,
at Comanche, Clinton county, having
in the meantime graduated at the
Iowa Law College. He located at
Denison and soon rose to the front
rank in the legal profession. Gov
ernor Shaw has achieved high hon
ors and gained confidence and esteem
not only in his own state, but far be-
yond it's borders. Though always
consistent republican, prior to 1896
he had taken no active interest in
politics other than to work and speak
for the party; but in that year his
reply to Bryan's fallacies brought
him into prominence as an orator.
and his services have been in demand
ever since. In 1897 he received the
Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1900-12-21
PROF. w. II. COUNCILL,

w. H. Council was born in Fay
etteville, N. c., in 1s4s, and was car
ried to Alabama by the traders in
1857, through the famous Richmond
Slave Pen. In Ala bama he worked in
the fields with the other slaves. He
is self-made man, having had only
few school advantages. He attend
ed one of the first schools opened
by kind northern friends at Steven
son, Ala, in 1865. Here he remained
about three years and this is the
basis of his education. He has been
close and earnest student ever
since, often spending much of the
night in study. He has accumulated
quite an excellent library, and the
best books of the. best masters are
his constant companions, as well as
a large supply of the best current
literature. BY private study and al
most incessant study he gained
fair knowledge of some of the Ian
guages, higher mathematics and the
sciences. He was Chief Enrolling
Clerk of the Alabama House Of Rep
resentatives in 1924. He was APP
pointed by President Grant Receiver
of the Land Office for the Northern
District of Alabama in 1878. He was
founder and editor of the Huntsville
Herald from 1877 to 1884. He found
ed the great educational institution,
Normal. of which he is president and
has been for nearly a quarter OF a
century. He read law and was ad-
mitted to the Supreme Court OF Ala
bama in 1883. But he has never left
the profession of teaching, although
fiattering political positions have
been held out to him. He has occu-
pied hieh positions in church and
other religious, temperance and char

HON. c. I. JONES.

Although Mr.. Jones was born in
Kentucky, he has lived in Iowa so
long that he is a genuine Hawkeye.
He was born in 1887, removed to the
territory of Iowa in 1912, locating
in Louisa county and in 1850 remov-
ing to Washington county. He is es-
sentially a self made man. When
only twelve years old he was thrown
upon his own resources and very
successfully did he fight the battle
of life. He was educated in the pub
lie schools and in Washington coll
lege and afterward went through
a thorough course in the study Of
law and was admitted to the bar.
In 1861 he enlisted in Company II.
Second Iowa Infantry and was hon-
orably discharged from service in
the fall of the same year on account
of injuries received in the service.
In 1894 he was unanimously nomi-
mated for clerk of the supreme
scourt and so satisfactory did he dis
charge the duties of the Office that
he was re-nominated in 1898. IL iss
universally conceded that he makes
one of the most efficient clerks that
ever filed the position. His legal
training has peculiarly qualified him
for the Office and his genial cour-g
tesy has made all those who have
business at the supreme court his
friend, whether politically or not. Az
it is the general wish of all those who,
have business with the supreme court
that Mr.. Jones continue in office, he
will be a candidate in 1902 and his
nomination is certain.
