Davis County Presented With Flag
by Des Moines Club.

Des Moines, March 5.-At the sixty
first anniversary of the Inauguration
Of General William Henry Harrison
as President, very happily observed
by the Des Moines Veteran Tippe-
canoe club at the Kirkwood hotel last
evening, flags were presented to Davis
and Dubuque counties for making the
largest republican gain at the last
election. The time from 7 to $50
o'clock was devoted to social session
by the members Of the club and their
ladies', and at $50 the guests were
seated at the tables in the prettily
decorated dining rooms, where an
elaborate menu was served.
President Isaac Brants introduce
tory remarks were entertaining and
pleasing. being in the main reminis-
cent of the hard cider" campaign,
with it's stirring scenes of patriotism
mingled with the folklore and the
love of home and country. He intro
duced as the speaker of the evening
Captain William H. Fleming, who
spoke upon General William Henry
Harrison" whose unselfish devotion to
country and flag had won him more
fame than the political Offices he had
held. Much of the historical informa-
ton in the address was in regard to
the legislation brought about through
the efforts of Harrison while governor
of the district of Louisiana, the larg-
est territory ever given into the
charge of one man, and which en-
braced the present state of Iowa.
Hon. Emory H. English, in behalf of
the club presented to Davis county the
silk flag. His closing remarks were:
I'VE look upon the the flag as the en-
blem of the liberty and victories won
by our fathers, and as the laurel
wreath crowned the heads Of the vic
tors of ola, it is fitting now that we
bestow this beautiful trophy upon vic
tors in later contests. While Iowa
has a notable record in steadfast sup
port of republican principles, Davis
county has made such gains as entitle
her to our plaudits and our congratr-
lations, and to her representatives
here this evening l have the pleasure
of presenting this beautiful flag, trust.
ing they will continue the honor they
have won and year hence return it
to this club without the stain of any
stripe or the loss of single STAR
The responsive remarks of Col. S. A
Moore We're touchingly appropriate
He reviewed his long life among the
people of Davis county, and referred
to their patriotism, citizenship and
loyalty. For their sake he was proud
that the flag had been won by them
and while, he said, the vote of the
next year might not be so strongly re
publican as it was last year, it would
remain fact that there would remair
faithful and true men there whose eff
forts in behalf of the party and party
| principles never would lag.

OFFICERS SELECTED.
Messrs. Reese, Perry and White Are
Reelected.

Des Moines, March 5.-(SpeciaD-
The result of the election of officers
of District 49, United Mine Workers
of America was announced today. The
election took place throughout the dis,
trict a week ago by referendum vote,
but the result was not known until the
ballots were counted last night in this
city by the auditors and the secretary,
treasurer Of the district organization
/ is very satisfactory to the great bulk
of the miners throughout the entire
state. The officers for the coming
year are as follows
President-John p. Reese, of Abba
Vice president-Edwin Perry, of Os.
kaloosa
Secretary-treasurer P. White
of Oskaloosa.
Executive board-First sub-district
F. Il. Romesburg. of Mystic; second
sub-district, Frank Cameron, of Hite
imam: third sub-district. Robert Cowan

of Des -Moines; fourth sub-district,
Samuel Ballantyne, of Boone.
Auditors-John ]. Barrow, of Hynes,
and John Reid, of Boone
Only three of the old officials were
not reelected this year. and two of
these were not candidates for the Of
fees they have held during the past
twelve months. John P. Reese, the
president of the district, and one of
the aDlest men among the trades
unionists of the country, had no oppo-
sition in his candidacy for the highest
office in the organization He is rec
ognized as the man for the place, and
without him the union would be badly
crippled.
Edwin Perry, the reelected vice
president, has served two terms al
ready, as has Mr.. Reese and John P.
White, the secretary-treasurer of the
district. Mr.. Perry's past work was
shown to be highly satisfactory, how
ever, by the support he received this
year. He was elected for the third
term over nine opponents. Mr.. Perry
| is an able assistant to Mr.. Reese, and
one of the best informed authorities
on labor matters in the state. His re-
election will meet with the approval
of every one connected with mining in
the state.
The reelection of John p White, the
secretary-treasurer of the district, over
| five able candidates, is another wise
move on the part of the miners of
Iowa. The triumvirate of good, brainy,
sincere officials formed by Messrs
Reese, Perry aud White, has accom-.
plished worlds of good for the miners
of Iowa during the past few years, and
will continue to do so for at least one
more year. Mr.. White is the soul OF
honor, and has guarded the treasury
of the district organization for two
years already with the faithfulness OF
the true man that he is. His re-elec
ton is fitting acknowledgement Of
the work he has done for the union
Board Members F. T. Romesburg Of
Mystic and Robert Cowan of Des
Moines were reelected. These mer
are able assistants to the principal of
ficers of the organization, as has beer
shown by the work they have done il
the past The new members of the ex
ecutive board are Frank Cameron o.
! Hiteman, who succeeds John Coch
ran of Cleveland, and Samuel Ballan
tyne, of Boone, who takes the place O
William Heslop. of Lehigh. Both O.
these new officials are young men, bu
have already shown that they are sin
! cere union men in every particular
i Cochran did not stand for reelection
on the board, as he was candidate fol
president.
The auditors elected were John j
Barrow and John Reid of Hynes o.
Hynes and Boone respectively. Bar
row was reelected, as he should have
been, as he is a highly fit man for the
responsible position for which he has
been chosen. Mr. Reid fills the place
which has been ably filled by John o
Staley of Des Moines, since the resig
nation of G. H. Underwood, formerly
of Mystic. who was elected last year
in this city. Mr.. Staley did not ask
for reelection, as he has for the
present given Up mining and entered
the office of the treasurer of POLL
county.

MANY PEOPLE HOMELESS,
Flood Does Much Damage to Property

in Pennsylvania.
New York, March 4.-Flood condi.
lions in the east are reported to be
rapidly improving although affairs in
the Wyoming valley and northeastern
Pennsylvania generally. and along the
Hudson near Albany, are still in bad
shape.
Dispatches from Wilkesbarre, Pa,
show that more than score of lives
have been lost, five million dollars
worth of property destroyed in north
eastern Pennsylvania. The danger is
over but the full extent of the damage
is yet to be seen. Eighteen thousand
homeless persons in the Wyoming val.
| ley are watching the backward course
of the waters.
The water has receded in Paterson
N. j., and the danger there is practic
ally over. So many mills were damag
ed that 10000 operatives are thrown
out of work for an indefinite time.
! In the Passaic river six men are re
ported to have been carried down with
bridge which washed away.
| Cities and towns in almost all sec
tons of New York and in the New
England states suffered heavy damage
to property. Delayed trains are re
ported. Not for many years have
mails reaching New York been so de
layed as during the last three and one
half days.

The Story of Mr.. Clements Moral
Warfare Continued.
Barnard, Vt

Hon. Percival W. Clement spoke
here in the town hall on Wednesday
evening, to a crowded house. 1t was
a representative gathering. All class
es were there. He showed great tact
in managing his audience in present.
ing the glorious principles of high IL
cense. He was applauded to the echo,
especially when he told his French
and Irish stories ana when he declar-
ed that intemperance had never in
jured Vermont and that prohibition
lists were sneaks," the audience
went wild with delight.
He plead for the high virtues of his
cause and for liberty and freedom
for every man to do as he pleases He
modestly asked for the suffrages of the
freedom loving people of Vermont for
the pure principles of license. The
old town is alive with the spirit of
the Pilgrims and the Puritans and
high moral enthusiasm is at flood tide
The tryant and monster of prohibition
must go down and then the people
can sail to heaven on flowery beds of
ease, i'll palace car, with the heavenly
melody of coon quartette and lit
tie stimulant along, to be used with
"propriety"
Mr. Clement proved to many that
intemperance never injured Vermont,
that open saloons would reduce the
evils of the drink traffic and that all
engaged in that business had only
the good of their fellow men and the
honor and peace of the State at heart.
He proved that Mccullough was an
idiot and Proctor a hypocrite and
Morrow "sleuth. " He amused his
hearers by telling how men had gone
over the State smelling under the
| doors and in the cracks.
He put judges and attorneys and the
whole Legislature into the "black
| list" and hammered them until the
| jolly crowd went wild with joy, as if
it were a real bull fight He has
united all classes and parties in this,
his moral war for the uplifting of
humanity. The State is safe. Long
live this moral retormer. One who
uses it with

\ DYING GOOSE SONG.

The Proctor campaign opened on
the broad highway of an alleged
uprising of the people against Nc
Cullough and Webb, and an i'm
perious popular demand for him
to reconsider his former conclusion
not to be a candidate and re-enter the
contest to save the State. In the
course of the canvass this broad high
way narrowed down to a bride path,
then dwindlod TO a squirrel track and
ran up tree.
The Proctor press is daily resorting
to pettiness that is simple imbecility
in the search for some new accusation
against Mccullough or his support
ers. The st. Adams Messenger, with
white lips is muttering of "snap
caucuses' for choosing Mccullough
delegates and here is the Evening
News of Rutland growing livid to the
verge Of apopleXy over tricks of the
State committee, to gain some adj
vantage for Mccullough through a
snap convention or by other means.
The contemporary, like its allies, de-
