yet sober sided lad in the public
schools When he had come to years
he studied in Omaha, Chicago and
New York, making great progress
and winning golden opinions on all
hands. In ew York, for excellence
in work, he was awarded a five
thousand dollar scholarship which
gave him five years at the great art
centers of Europe, He has been sue
cessful at the annual Salon exhibits
and received medal at the EXPOSE
ton of 1900. Ills speciality is a kinu
of ideal portraiture wherin he has
won distinction by producing a fine
flesh color from the human figure as
shown in a mirror. Mr. Parker has
already spent three years in foreign
study and travel and after two years
more may return to America.
In recent number the New
York Herald in its reports on amuse-
ments, speaks of the powerful bat
ting of Lionel Walden, the celebrated
American marine painter. Mr.. Wal
den stands six feet three in bis
striped stockings, is of wiry, mus
cular build and both strikes the ball
with tremendous force and spreads
paint with exquisite skill when the
"fit" is on as he calls his inspira-
tions. Several years ago greatness
was thrust upon him by crossing the
peerless commonwealth of Iowa and
especially proud Mahaska on his
route to Minneapolis and since then
honors have multiplied around him.
Along in the eighties he won a silver
medal in England valued at $50
francs. Twice he has been honored
at the Paris Salon. His reputation
as an accomplished artist was estab-
lished beyond peradventure when
the French government purchased
his great marine work "Carditf
Docks" and placed it in the Luxen-
bourg Gallery beside those of Whis-
tier, Sargent and Tanner. Mr.. Wal
denis merits have received fresh
recognition by his recent election in
the paris Society of American
Painters" the Sanhedrim of Ameri-
can painters, he and Mr.. Tanner
being the only members elected
within a year. Mr.. Walden has a
good eye, steady hand, a well bal

of the meter and bounds of art and a
ring of genuine genius that will in

Interview with MarshaiItown Times

Colonel Swain was carelled by the
Times. Republican reporter while in
that city the other day and that
paper reprcduces the interview as
follows:
"Col. Albert w. Swain, formerly
editor of the TUSCALOOSA HERALD,
but for the past four years United
States consul at Montevideo, Uru-
quay, passed through the city We'd
nesday evening, being on his way
from Eagle Grove to Fremont, where
he delivered the Independence day
Grafton on the Fourth. Col. Swain,
wife and daughter, Miss Nina, will
soon depart from this country for
their South American home, sailing
from New York on the goth inst. on
the Wordsworth. Col. Swain talks
very interestingly of his adopted
home and says that although no con-
sulate viii make man rich, proyid-
ing he lives with the flag and as an
entertainer provides what the flag
requires, he considers himself rich,
for he has health and that is some
thing he did not have before he went
abroad. While home on his furlough
he says he is "blabbing his blabber's
as an American citizen and is going
to say few things that he can not a.
a consul. He considers shameful the
course the United States is pursuing
with the South American republic,
in trade way, and says that where
this country should have the greater
share of 100 per cent of South Amer

while on the other hand the states
are doing more for South America
from this side than almost any other
country. He also deplores the alb
sence of representative United s ates
vessels in South American waters.
Mr.. Swain sees the need on another
James G. Blaine as regards south
American trade and says that this
country has done but little towards
developing South American business
since Blaine died. Col. Swain and
family will be in Oskaloosa during the
most of the next week "

SWAIN AIT FREMONT.
Old Fashioned Fourth of July
Draws a Big Crowd.

Fremont, July 6.-The town of FREE
mont had a big celebration on the
Fourth. A great crowd was present
from the surrounding country and
the day was success and without
incident excepting the injury of
several persons in the afternoon dur
ing the progress of the sports.
Chas. Pearson, Of the Fremont
Gazette, was the chairman of the day
and under his care the program
moved along to the satisfaction of
all. There were the usual prelimin-
aries in the morning. The school
house grove was packed with people.
1t is estimated that there we're be-
tween three and four thousand people
in the park. A flag drill lead by Miss
Ora Rhoades was feature of the
program.
Albert w. Swain, United States
Consul to Montevideo, Uruguay, was
the orator Of the day and entertained
the great crowd with talk that will
long be food for thought by all who
had the good fortune to hear the dis
tinguished gentleman. He made little
attempt at oratory or a show of
words. What he did was to place
facts before his hearers in simple
but graphic manner that Immediately
commanded the attention of every
one within the reach of his voice and
held the audience to the close. He
told of the great country to the south
and in such way as to instruct and
interest. The speech was much liked.
The afternoon was given to
regular old fashioned celebration
that was greatly enjoyed. There was
one unfortunate accident that is
greatly regretted, In the running
race which was in the road running
east and west by the school park
several people were injured. The
horses moved in cloud of dust and
could not see the crowd and the
crowd pushed farther and farther in
to the road. The first animals passed
all right but the last animals plunged
into the crowd of spectators. Isaac
Montangue, an old man and G. L.
Phillips, prominent business man
were knocked down and badly
bruised. Two children were badly
hurt also one was rendered uncon-
scious for short time. There were
many other bruises.
