Confession Of
a Lincoln
Conspirator.

The Dispatch has secured
for publication the COMES
sion of Samuel B. Arnold,
one Of the men who plotted
with John Wilkes Booth to
kid1ap President Lincoln.
This is one Of the most
important articles which has
ever appeared in the Dis
patch and is bound to attract
wide attention.
FORTY YEARS OF SILENCE:
For forty years Arnold
has lived the life Of a hermit
and misogyl1isr in an out-of-
the-way corner Of one Of the
Maryland counties, stead
tasty refusing to make any
statement as to his connec-
ton with the plot which i'm
mediately preceded the as
sassination Of President Lin
coin. But he has spoken
at last, and the Dispatch
will print what he says Of the
great conspiracy, and the
events which Immediately
preceded and followed the
murder of the President.
The story which MIR. Arnold
tells Of his. sufferings on the
Dry Tortugas reminds one
of the diary Of Capt. Drey-
fus on Devils Island.
MES. sURRATr INNOCENT
The narrative also throws
an entirely new light on the
plot to kill the President,
and completely exonerates
the officials Of the Confede-
rate government from all
connection with the plot-a
suspicion which has often
been voiced at the North. It
also shows that Mrs. Sur
raft, who was hanged, had
no connection whatever
with the crime.
WILL BEGIN SUNDAY
The story is quite lengthy.
It will appear in the Dis
patch i'll instruments, The
publication extending over
several days. The first in
staln,ent Of the thrilling mar
rative will appear in next
Sundays Dispatch.

honest business men who can give both
public and railway a fair decision. Such
u man. fulfilling every requirement as
the Register says, is Mr.. n. s. Ketchum.
Once a civil engineer engaged in rail-
way construction, as related by Mr.. CT.
T. Kirby's letter in this issue, later a
wagon manufacturer and wholesale i'm
plement dealer, his business career has
given him an unusually wide knowledge
of the transportation and shipping
business which equips him far better
for the work of a railroad commissioner
and arbitrator of the peoples disputes
with railway companies than any law
yer whose only qualification is that he
knows the legal rights of the corpora
ton. This plea that lawyer must be
on this jury is a specious one advanced
for the purpose of continuing Mr.. Daw-
son three years longer in an office that
he has already held two terms of three
years each and one year of an uneX-
PRED term besides.

THE LITTLE HERO OF coLENso
Rugler Dunno Discharged From tn
British Army for Ill Health.
TRnStop Poet

BOSTON 1>OSl.
Bugler Dunno. the little hero of the
battle of Colenso, who has been sta
toned at Dover since his return to
England from the front, with the de-
tails of his regiment, the Royal Dublin
Fusileers recently took his discharge
from the army owing to the state of his
health.
The lad Is suffering from valvular
disease of the heart. He had been in
the hospital at the Western Heights of
Dover for about two months. Bugler
Dunno was d great fayorite with his
comrades, who gave him a good send
off.
Bugler Dunno, who has just termin-
ated his military career-much to his
Experimentation forward with the
fighting line at Colenso under a fright
full fire, and was hit by a piece of shell,
his right arm being wounded. But he
boldly went on.
Dunno was much feted couple of
years since on coming to England, and
Queen Victoria summoned him to Os-
borne. where she presented him With a
bugle in place of the one he lost IN the
Tugela He was also one of the attrac-

RAILROAD COMMISSION AN ARBlTER.

Mr.. e. A. Dawson, who has held the
seven years, having served one year by
monument and six by election, is
seeking third term in the office anc
in his support his friends are advancing
;be plea that the duties of the commits
sion require the presence of lawyer
as one of its members. That this con-
tention is wholly without foundation
and actually opposed by the purposes
of the commission is shown clearly by
the statement addressed to the Des
Moines Register by one of the best
posted lawyers in the state. 1t is pub
lished on an opposite page.
This lawyer, vino has served in the
state senate and has made careful
study of our state government, says
that in his opinion there is no more
reed for a lawyer on the railroad COM
mission than there is on the executive
council or in the state superintendent
office; that the attorney general of the
state should be looked to for legal adj
vice by all boards and commissions. He
shows that rather is the commission a
Jury before whom the controversies of
railroad and public are tried, and he
cites the well known fact that law
yer, by reason of his training, is I'M
fitted for jury work.
To us this seems the most important
point in the controversy. When the
railroad commission was created the
need for it's existence arose from the
fact that the public demanded state
arbitrator in the rows it was continue
ally having with the railroad compa-
MES. Its legal rights could be enforced
in the courts, but in most cases the
question was one of judgment as to
what was the fair and just thing for
the railway to do. The state railroad
commission was instituted to investi-
gate all these cont. oversies and arbi-
trate the differences. It's members
should be broad-guaged, fair-minded,

These Are the Factories Marshalltown Wants and
Ready to Assist Any Of Them.
and She Is

| Breakfast Foods Factory.
| We produce in largest quantities all
the great grains, corn, wheat, oats,
| rye, and should be the home of such
| industries.
Broom Factory.
We raise the broom corn; finest quail
| ity, greatest quantity. The natural
| place of the manufacture of brooms
for the millions.
Stove Factory.
The success of Marshalltown's fur
mace industry demonstrates that our
field would suit the stove business.
The Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska
and the western states must all be
kept warm.
Machine Shops.
The two large shops here are full OF
their own special work. We have a
good field for machine shop for
general commercial work.
Cattle Packing House.
Our immense pork packing industry
is flourishing and both Swift and the
Armours have established large poul-
try packing houses. The same adj
yantages would encourage beef
packing plant.
Tile Factory.
We have no tile factory here and our
field for this business is almost I'M
limited. We have the clays.
Buggy Factories.
We already have the largest carriage
factory in the west. Other buggy
factories making different qualities
would here find great and profitable
market for their goods. The buggy
business is rapidly moving west Of
Chicago for the western and Pacific
trade, the greatest and richest mar
ket in the world.
Fur Factory.
The hides for making fur coats can
be bought and tanned here and this
is the center of the country in which
fur coats are used.
Mattress Factory.
For the making of bed springs and
mattresses Marshalltown offers q
desirable site from which these
goods can be sold in large terri-
tory.

up the resistance they have done, ane
in so doing they have commanded the
admiration of every civilized nation. il
not the contempt of the world for the
blunders of their British adversaries.
Whether the Beers or the British

war, but hereafter the people of the

government, which government. to the
great credit of the British people, may
it be said, the whole civilized world ex-
poets will be far freer and more just
and benign than the close corporation
oligarchy of Paul Kruger ever pretend

The Times Republican blamed kri-

its existence. He was a dictator mere

the, Boer government, he controlled the
elections and thereby owned the mem

waite purse by the sale of monorolies
whose extortions were the most shame
less that could he imagined. This was
the Boer republic.
AS the gold discoveries attracted for
eign immigration the population OF the
country underwent change. In time
the Englishinen and other Europeans

England will be sovereign and provide
as large form of home government as
