THE NAME "pEs MONIES"

In reply to a correspondent the Des
Moines Capital explains that, correct
ly speaking, the words "Des Moines"
have no meaning; that they are a
combination of the Indian word
"moin-go-na." When Marquette ex-
plored the Mississippi in 1873 he made
a halt at the present site OF Keolzuk,
or more accurately at the mouth of
the river emptying into the Mississ-
ippi here mile or two below. He
discovered footprints on the bank and
followed them until he came to an In
dian village located at what is now
known as Yellow Banks, where he re-
mained several days. He asked the
name of the locality and was told it
was "Moin-go-na." Says the Capital:
1t is often difficult to express in
English the peculiar sound Of Indian
words as spoken by them. Mar
quette, being a Frenchman, recorded
the name on the map as 'Moing-oSan,
using the figure "8" to express the
sound in French of "ou" or "we," as
the nearest he could get to the Indian
expression. To .-.e river he gave the
same name. In 1888, Franquelin, who
followed him., also recorded the same
name on his map, spelling it "Moin-
gona." 1t also appears on all maps
as late as 1843. Marquette gave no
definition of the word. The Iidians
he met belonged to the Illini, who
were of Algonquin origin, and in the
Algonquin language the word mon"
means corn" gan" "lake" or
water" and ma" "good," or excel.
lent the latter being a frequent ter
minal of Algonquin words and always
bas the same meaning. So that a
fair definition of the words is "a
good place to raise corn and get fish"
The Capital explains that every
word spoken by an Indian has a di-
rect meaning, but they are so often
distorted and corrupted in interpreta-
tion as to become utterly destroyed.
The same paper notes further that
traffic with the Indians in that day
and locality was done by Spaniards
and Frenchmen, who came from the
south, and for convenience the word
was clipped and corrupted to "Moin,"
de Moin," Demon" ETC., and white
settlers, as they came into the terri
tory, followed the custom until it
became universal. The war depart
ment did likewise in establishing
Fort De Moine.

IOWA MINERS.

Speaking of the disclosures brought
to light in the recent investigation OF
the board Of arbitration in Pennsylva,
mia Mine Inspector John Werner
said:
mo parallel can be drawn between
the condition of the workmen in the
anthracite regions in Pennsylvania
and the miners of this state. The lat.
ter are much better paid and do not
suffer from any Of the abuses that the
investigation in Pennsylvania has
brought to light. The chief reason
for this is that the miners of Iowa
are a better and more intelligent
class Of men than those in the Penn
sylvania mining regions. They
won't stand for the oppressive tactics
adopted by eastern mine owners, and
this has been so we'll understood from
the days when mining was first COM
menced in this state that no attempt
has been made by the owners to in
troduce eastern methods here.

a hostile demonstration toward any.
to the Harvey News

According to the Harvey News
a Marion county woman died recently
and left an estate Of seventeen COWS.
To her eldest son she bequeathed one
half; to her second son one-third, and
TO her youngest son one-ninth of the
estate. The executors were sorely
perplexed as to how to divide the
cows. At last some one suggested
that they borrow a COW from a neigh
Dor. This was done and the estate
was thus made eighteen COWS. The
first son received his one-half or nine;
the second son his one-third or six;
the third son his one-ninth or two,
making seventeen COWS in all. The
neighbor's COW was then returned with
thanks.

MERRY XMAS.
cantata by Children Of Congregational
Sunday School.


The happy children of the Congre-
gational Sunday school gave their
Christmas celebration Tuesday even
ing. The entertainment was based on
a bright and catchy cantata, Santa
Claus at His Best"
The young people entered into their
part of the work with enthusiasm and
percision. From the very start the
program ran itself and in their various
parts the children showed careful drill
and training. ..
There was no plot, no william, and
no dramatic display, but the scheme
was evidently a gathering Of the
young people of various countries and
tribes to have a grand good time and
await the coming of Santa Claus. The
music was bright and cheerful and
was in charge of Mrs. Belle G. Ray.
This of itself would recommend 1t to
the people of Oskaloosa. 1t would be
perhaps unnjust to specify as to who
were. the special features of the pro-
gram, as all did we'll, but the costumes
are certainly worthy of mention. 1t
was a big success in all ways. Those
taking part in the cantatta were:
Spirit of Christmas" Katherine
Jones.
"Minnehaha," jamie Farmhouse.
Queen of Delight" Ada Yocum.
Good WILL" Willie Lewis.
Peace" Grace Kaye.
Mae" Gladys Kaye.
"Irma," Louise Bentley.
"Dimple," Gladys Needham.
Uncle SAM" Mr.. r. Solomon.
johnnie Bull" Davie Covington.
"Hiawatha," Harold Sheppard.
'Rara," Herbert Smith.
Fritz" Lloyd Farmhouse.
James," Ward Coveny.
Paul" Bailey Howard.
Ned" Clarence Coveny.
Organist, Mrs. Belle Ray.
Director, Mrs. A. Cato Kaye.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

On Saturday afternoon, Dec. 20, the
Daily Herald published the following
dispatch from Washington:
The following statement was
made at the State Department
this morning: allie desire Presi-
dent Reesevelt shall arbitrate the
differences between themselves
and Venezuela. Roosevelt de-
sires that arbitration shall be by
The Hague tribunal"
On Tuesday morning, Dec. %, the
Des Moines Register and Leader gave
the following Washington message tc
its readers: ..
"The government of Great ,Bri-
tain, Germany and Italy this
morning, through their embassies
in Washington, communicated
with Secretary Hay, requesting
that President Roosevelt act as
arbitrator in the present Venez-
uelan difficulty. The matter was
discussed by Secretary Hay and
the president, and a reply was
made to the effect that the Presi-
dent would prefer not to under
take the task of passing upon the
merits of the case, preferring to
leave the matter to The Hague
tribunal"
Moral, if you want the news while
it is news take the home paper.

TWO FIRES
President Castro Besieged by
Rebels and Allies
BY scripps-McRae.


Willemstad, Curacao, Dec. 24.-The
Venezuelan junta here claims to have
advices from Caracas that the rebels
have taken the field and President
Castro has started for Lavictoria with
government troops to check their ad-
vance. Seven thousand rebels, it is
said, began today the march on Cara
cas-, the armistice having been ended.
They are moving on three roads, led
by capable officers. The rebels are
well supplied with food and ammuni-
tion, and are getting fresh supplies
through the port of Coro, which the
blockading forces of the allied powers
left conveniently open, presumably
for that purpose. Coro is surrounded
on land by rebels and it looks as IL
Gen. Matos has secured the aid Of
the allies in his attempts to over
throw Castro.
Pope Don't Want the Job.
Rome, Dec. 24-It was stated in
Vatican circles to-day that the Ven-
ezuelan government proposed that
the Pope act as arbitrator of the diff.
ferences between that country and
the allies. The Vatican, it is said,
will not entertain the proposition un-
less it is unanimously made.
Italian Cruiser Too Previous.
Washington, Dec. 24.-Although the
State Department has not yet taken
notice of the reported action of the
Italian cruiser, Bauson, in refusing
to permit the steamer Caracas to dis
charge her entire cargo at Caracas
the matter will be brought to its at
tention to-day through a complaint
filed by the company's agent at La
Guayra.
An investigation will also be made
of the case of an American named
Jones, living at Guanta, who charter
ed the steamer on which he loaded
his household goods and started for
LaGuayra, intending to start for New
York. The Bausen fired on him, seiz-
ed his boat, searched him ike an or
dinary criminal would be seached, put
him ashore, confscated his property.
Inquiry into these two cases will like
ly lead to a thorough review of the
blockade.

-"The thing to be most desired

THE thing to be most desired is
a stout heart" says the Topeka Capt.
tai. "The finest thing a man can
have is courage to take the rain with
out a whimpering when it begins to
fall, and to say and to do in the face
of adverse winds the thing he believes
to be right. And if he keeps his faith
in the men and women about him; If
he is loyal to his friends and fair to
his enemies, ana if he is withal, hon.
est, cleanly and kind he will have fill
ed in the greatest measure, the pur-
pose for which he was created.

The HORSES FRIEND.

Secretary Wilson, the Iowa chief of
the agricultural department, is a
friend of the horse and firm believer
in his ultimate triumph over all un-
favorable circumstances. mo horse
man has ever lost his love for the
horse" he said recently. "The man
who has an automobile is not the man
who rears and breeds horses, and so
that brilliant animal will be with us
throughout the ages. In 1868 the to-
tai number of horses in the country
was 5,756,940, valued at $432,696, ,266.
In 1892 the number had increased to
15,49S,14 and the high water -valua-
tion mark of 81, 1,007, 500, ,636, was reach
ed. There were 100000 more horses
in the country next year but their
value had declined and then a decline
both in number and value set in and
continued until 1897. This year there
were in the county 14,364,667 horses
and their value was only $452, ,647, 1896,
showing a shrinkage in value of more
than so per cent in five years. In
fact the value of the 1854, ,667 horses
in the United States in 1897 was only
100000, 900 more than the value placed
on 5,756,940 in 1868. These were sad
days for the horse. He was thrown
out of the street car business every
where, and the bicycle superseded him
in millions of homes. For time 1t
looked as though he had seen his best
days. But his friends were confident
that he would rise again in public
favor, and that loyalty to him was
soon rewarded. In 1898 the reaction
in his favor began. That year the
number of horses in the country was
smaller than it had been for eight
years but the value of the stock ad-
vanced to nearly $500,000,000. The
following year the value OF about the
same number advanced to $511, ,074, 900
and in 1900 a smaller number Of over
100000 reached a valuation Of $685.
969,442, the highest point in years."
Mr.. Wilson's figures show that bet
ter grade of horses are being raised
and kept in this country. He is being
superseded only in the lines Of hard
work.

In spite of the scarcity of anthra-
cite coal in New York and other
places, it appears from official state
ments that the present production is
far in excess Of normal. In Novem-
Der and December the total output of
the mines will be nearly 100000 tons
or 25 per cent more than in the same
months last year. The shortage in
the market seems to be the result of
a sudden and enormous demand on
the arrival of the cold wave.

The day Sells Bros.

The day Sells Bros. circus was
in Oskaloosa last summer, one hun
dred and twenty-five people agreed to
come over from Buxton if a special
train could be secured. The arrange
ments could not be made and the peo-
pie did not come. Had there been
trolley connections it is safe to say
two hundred people would have come,
and from $1,000 to $4,000 would have
been spent in Oskaloosa. The need of
an electric line grows more urgent
every day.
