MRS. NATION IN IOWA.
Her Lecture Not Well Attended No sa-
looms to be Smashed Outside Of Kan
sas Yet Awhile.

Muscatine, Ia, Feb. l2.--Mrs, Ma
tion arrived here ut noon yesterday
and was met at the train by 1000
people. A squad Of police were on
hand, as she had requested, TO escort
her to the hotel. The crowd. how
ever, was peaceable and quiet and
evidently turned out through curios-
ity, for less than 500 people attended
her meeting at the Grand opera house
last night. After the meeting closed
and the receipts Of the evening were
counted the financial manager Of Mrs.
Nation dissolved partnership with her
and he, with four Of the six women
who accompanied her, returned last
night to Kansas.
Mrs. Nation said last night. IL

Some one has called the present an
cage o. Societies, y and the name
seems not inappropriate. For the
doing Of almost everything that is to
b. done an association 10 formed.
This is true IN the secular world and
In the church. The organisation is
expected to do The work and the indi,
vidual IL we'll satisfied to delegate to
II bis personal duties, Indeed where
there Ia something to be done and
there is no organization to act, men
sometimes forget that there is still
such 4 thing in ethics and morals as
personal responsibility, personal ool'-
cation.
A few weeks ago this fact was
clearly illustrated. There stood IN
front Of the postoffice in my town .
cab to which were hitched two horses.
Both we're in wretched condition, an
gular and gaunt, but one was more
wretched than the other, with CALLED
flesh on hips and shoulders, both
starved and weak. A passerby said
to bis companion, ut is beastly that
ssch things are permitted YES"
replied the other, 1--WE need society
for the suppression OF cruelty to ami
mails" Neither thought Of his per-
sonal responsibility in the premises
that it was his duty to lodge a com
plant before the proper authorities.
Doubtless such an organization
would find q wide field Of usefulness
in Winchester. These same horses
are on our streets daily and others
equally wretched are employed in
drawing loads too heavy to be hauled
even by horses in good condition. 1t
Is currently reported that there are
parties in Winchester, who purchase
for q few dollars horses whose day Of
real usefulness is over, work them as
long a. they are able to stand, mean
while giving them insufficient food.
Another report current Of some who
prepare poultry for the markets is
that they pick the fowls while yet
alive. because then the feathers are
more easily and quickly removed. "
Such inhumanity does call for sup
preston, but is . society for the pur-
pose necessary? II Is, by all means
let it be organized, but still better
let every humane citizen, when be
looks upon cruelty and abuse otdumb

Box Yves stolen from

st. Louis, Feb. l2.--Nore than lsO
shots were fired, sergeant Of police
and two negroes were wounded and
ballot box was stolen in the course
OF q riot about the Second district
polling place Of the Fourth ward, at
Twelfth and Linden streets, early
yesterday evening. 1t was only after
riot call had brought Capt. Kiely
with 40 police and riot guns to the
scene that semblance Of order was
restored. Even then the streets were
filled with negroes and some white
men, all Of whom were armed, many
of them intoxicated and looking for
trouble, Not ballot was cast there
during the day.
Rolla Wells will be nominated by
the democratic city convention to.
day for mayor. He swept 20 Of the
" wards in the primaries yesterday.
Ed Noonan and lack. Tinker ran on
the regular democratic ticket" and
each had a strong following. The
Keen fight between the three men
brought out the party almost to a
man. twenty-five men from Chicago
were arrested early in the action on
the charge that they had come here
for the purpose of repeating. Charges
and counter charges Of repeating
were rife all day.
The first shot was fired on Twelfth
stteet just south of Linden. Rumor
has It that the first man to draw a
revolver was a negro named Arthur
Gardiner. AS soon as the shot rang
out the street about the polling place
became the scene of fusillade.
Every man drew one or two revolvers.
Judge John j. Ryan ran out out from
his desk to the street and shot square
~ at q negro advancing upon the
booth, gun in hand. There was no
time to make arrests, but the police
under Sergt. Quinlivan rushed upon
the holder rioters, attempting to dis
arm them. 1t was while he was ar
resting George Munroe, who had re-
sisted the attempt to disarm him,
that Sergt. Quinlivan was shot. De-
tectiye McGrath ran to his assistance,
disarmed the negro and In the midst
OF a scattering fire wrapped hand
kerchief about the sergeant's wound
ed leg to stop the flow Of blood from
a severed artery.
Ten policemen were on the spot
within few moments and succeeded
in quelling the riot and dispensing the
zoo negroes who had figured most
prominently in the ARRAY. After Or
der had been restored IT was found
that the ballot box had been stolen.
Every Judge and clerk had been at the
windows or front door, holding the
tort. Some one had slipped in the,
back way and taken the box from be-
hind them. The upshot was TINT no
votes were polled yesterday in the
Second district Of the Fourth ward.
