and Found to Belong to
Former Iowa Man.
Especial Correspondence

Especial correspondence
A few days ago the editor of the
New Orleans Picayune sent to Civil
War Record Clerk Stephens, in the
Office of the adjutant general of
Iowa, a paper containing descrip-
ton of war relics of Judge Anthony
Sambola, of New Orleans. Judge
Sambola picked up housewife" on
the battlefield of Shiloh the morning
after the battle and had preserved it,
and the newspapers told about it..
The housewife" contained the pic
ture of a pretty girl, and Capt. Mar
shall' was embroidered on it. A
suffers check marked Thirteenth
Iowa" was found in it, also Mr..
Stephens at once sent the paper to
Col. H. H. Rood, of the Thirteenth
Iowa, at Mount Vernon, Ia, hoping
to be able to locate the Captain Mar
shall spoken of. Col. Rood did this.
He is now at Kelley's Ferry, Tenn,
and the paper has been sent him.
He will send to Judge Sambola and
receive the long lost housewife, y
and the picture which was of sweet
heart or wife, doubtless. He was
captain of Company H, of the Thir-
teenth Iowa, and afterwards, at At
lanta, became a major in the regi-
ment.

and Women Better

the Iowa industrial school for girls at
Mitchellville, announces that he is re-
forming young women in his. care

pie to become musicians and to love

life, and makes them better men and
women.

brought about at Mitchellville. An or
chestra of so young women, lately or

AN IOWA MAN.
Newly Elected Mayor of Portland,
Ore, Was First Judge in the First
Judicial District in This State,
Especial Correspondence,


George FL. Williams was. elected
mayor of Portland, Ore, week or so
ago. In April, 1912, Mr.. Williams was
elected the first judge of the First jul
dicial district of Iowa, then composed
of the counties of Lee, Des Moines,
Louisa, Henry and Washington. After
retiring from the judgeship, at the end
of the five-year term, he went to the
territory of Oregon, which seemed at
that time to possess exceptional at
fractions for the pioneers of Iowa
very many of them going that way
then. Among these was Judge Cyrus
Olney, who was another of the First
district judges of Iowa. The constitu-
ton of Oregon bears many traces of
the fact that it's makers were familiar
with the first constitution of Iowa
Judge Williams was elected to the
senate from Oregon. Afterwards
President Grant appointed him attor-
ney general. When Chief Justice
Chase died the president rendered the
place to Judge Williams, and his name
was sent to the senate. 1t was subse-
quently withdrawn. Since his retire.
ment from the cabinet Judge Will
liams' name has been occasionally in
troduced as that of candidate for the
senate again, and at the protracted
contest which last year resulted in the
return of Senator Mitchell to that
body Judge Williams received liberal
support on several ballots

ern Railroad company, T. H. Roger,

ney Charles A. Clark and William G.
Clark, of Cedar Rapids, are repre-
senting the railway company; Carr
& Parker, of Des Moines, and Taft
& Jackson, of Sac City, are for the
Sac county people now in possession
of the land, and Henry H. Grifiths,
Of Des Moines, appears for Mr.. Re
ger. The land in question was pat
ented as swamp land by the present
owners and occupants. The North
western railroad denies it was
swamp land. and claims it under it's
alternating section grant. Roger
claims it under his purchase of sol
diers' homestead patents, provided it
is not swamp land.

TO FILL VACANCIES.
vide for Temporary Absence of
Judges from the Bench,
[spectal correspondence,

81
The illness Of several district Judges
of Iowa recently has lead the attor-
neys of the state to the belief that the
law should be so amended as to permit
the calling of practicing attorneys to
the bench to serve temporarily during
the absence of judges. At present this
is not possible, and when judges fallil
the business of the court has to be de-
layed 1t is often impossible to secure
the attendance of judges from other
districts, and as result the affairs of
the court lag. Judge S. F. Prouty, of
Des Moines, has suggested that this
reform be inaugurated, and his sug-
gestion is receiving wide support
among judges, lawyers and litigants.

To Harden Copper.

The friends of Fred Waltz, former
resident of La Porte, and now of Des
Moines, are much interested in new
secret he has discovered for hardening

sample of his work razor blade which
is sharp enough to shave mans hand,
and yet II can be bent double and will
return to its original position.
