G. l.. Casswell, of the Denison Bulle-
tin, has just returned from trip
through Texas, Mexico, aud California
and sums up his experience rs follows:
1.-The Bullitin editor returned homo
Saturday night from his three weeks
trip through ;he south and west, and
is again III the harness for ANAL sum-
mer's work. lie certainly feels the
good the journey and rest has been to
MIN, but the pleasure of being at home
again and among friends Is not tina
least of the joys accruing from such q
trip. The journey from California
made in three days and nights is like
sweeping one over the earth, but il
gives q fine chance for com parison OF
the country. While the balny atmos-
phere and pleasant groves and scenes
and the beautiful flowers of California
are certainly fine to dwell among, yet
the greener fields aud splendid crops
and trees of Iowa are at present q sight
that makes the native HaWkeye proud
OF his state and cause him to feel that
here more than anywhere is Goods
conntr" and he is willing to abide here.
where the best people, the happiest
homes, the most business activity, the
most prosperity and the best health are
met with on every hand. AS to the
country intervening we must say we
would not trade Iowa for all the states
passed during the trip. There may be
better chimes for aged people than this,
but the young and The active have
right here the best opportunities that
exists.

Gone Over to the Enemy.

The HcVlun vi Two members of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday, Messrs
Hall of Woudbine, and Gilmore uf Mo
Valley, in doing away with the dis
trlct system of supervisors and plac-
ing III its stead the county system o.
eleculng the Board, slmpiy obeyed tn
behests OF the Logan gang. For Oveo
year the Logan outfit have believed
that if they could get the county sys-
TEN of elecJing q board of Supervisors
they could dictate the nominations
and election of the members and there
by have q board that would do their
bidding The people of the west side
of the county have always been OPP
posed to the county system of eiecting
q board, and they believed they had
two men on the board, Messrs Gilmore
and Kelley, who would oppose any
change. AS far as MIR Kelley is con-
but their faith in Mr. Gilmore, q citi-
zen of Mo Valley, they we're badly dis
appointed, US when the crucial moment
came and 1t was question of the east
side of the county against the west
side of the county, Mr. Gilmore DESERT
ed his friends and cast his lot with the
Logan gang. The matter had been
pre- arranged with the outfit. as the
qnestion was not brought up until
three minutes before the Board ad-
l0urned yesterday, and Vt was rushed
through before the friends of the west
side of the county had chance to he
heard. The Logan gang now have
everything they want, they think. If
there ia anything else they would like
to have all they have to do is to ask
the two members of the bosrd who
voted for the change and they can
have it Ofcourse these two members
will make an appropriation of $4,000
TO 'repair" the court house before
they are beaten in convention or at
the polls next fall. Mo Valley and
the west side of the county have no
standing with the present hoard az the
commands to 1t all come from the Lo-
gan outfit. II the west side of the
county will "get together" they can
elect man next fall who will work
with their only friend on the board,
w $ Kelly of Mondamin. and thew can
then hope to have some of their wishes
obeved. but az the hoard IL now con-
stitnted Mo Valley aud the west side

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
tion of Dr A Boschee, 9 celebrated Ger
man physician, and Is acknowledged
to lie one of the most fortunate discov
cries In medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds and all lung troubles of
the severest nature, removing, as it
does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an exper-
mental medicine. but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case. which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two mill
ion bottles sold annually. Boschee's
German Syrup was introduced in the
United States in 1868, and is now sold
in every town and village in the civil
lied world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price IS cents.

L,o.don ns IT Nyas.

Haydn's Dictionary of Dates
makes the statement that the old name
Of the city of London was written
Lyndon or Llyndin, meaning "the city
OH the lake" An old tradition gives
US to understand that London was
founded by Brute, descendant OF
Asneas, and called New Troy or Troy
novant until the time of Lud, who sur
rounded the town with wallis and nam
ed 1t Caer-I.ud, or l.uds town. This
latter is probably the correct version OF
the story, IL for no other reason be-
cause 1t is an easy matter to detect %
similarity between the expression Lud's
town and London. 1t is claimed by
some writer's that there was city on
the same spot 1.1O7 years b. c., and it
is known that the Romans founded a
city there called Londinium A. d. 81.
