ABSTRACT COMBINE.
Des Moines Will Hereafter Have Only
One Instead of Six Offices.

Des Moines, Jan. 3.-The c%onsolida-
ton of all the abstract books of Polk
county has at last been effected. The
merger is n of large proportions,
the cost of the books being yer $780,
900, having a present earning capacity
of 100000 a year. The buyers are
William c. Burrichter of Panora, Iowa,
and Cassius M. Paine, of Milwaukee,
Wis.
BY this consolidation the cost of
running the books will be reduced al
most so per cent, so that it is claimed
the public can get the work done
cheaper than now, and yet the
books will yield a larger net return.
1t will mean but one Office instead of
six.

FESTAL DAY
Initiation Followed by
Banquet at Young
Building.

Eleven novitiates were initiated into
the mysteries of Aloha Temple, A. A..
o. N. NJ. s., yesterday with all the
weird ceremonies and dark rites which
usually mark the strange ceremonial
of the worshippers at the Mystic
Shrine. Just prior to the initiation,
the candidates were dragged through
the streets on a long rope, and the
ceremony in Progress Hall was fol-
lowed by banquet at the Young Ho-
tel.
The procession, headed by the Gov
eminent band and mounted police
men, left Progress hall promptly at
four o'clock. 1t was a queer procession
and Christmas shoppers turned and
started, while even the horses snorted
in surprise. The costumes were a
strange mixture. Of rich puppies, heavy
silk brocades. blue trousers, giddy yell
low and red shoes with the toes turned
up in uncanny fashion. The whole
costume was decorated with skull and
cross bones and a red fez topped off
each uniform.
DR.. f. r. Day, c. ]. Ludwigsen, r. w.
Breckons, Percy Lishman, ]. ]. Dunno,
Wagner, Goodwin, Petrie, Stanley and
Belser-were closely watched as they
were led through the streets on. long
rope. guards armed with battle axes,
spears, ETC., following them.
The procession marched by way of
Fort, Hotel, Bishop and King streets
to the. Capitol where they were photo
graphed. Upon the return to Progress
Hall initiation took place! 1t was
very successful. In the evening at ten
O'Clock seventy-eight Shriners sat
down to a banquet at the Alexander
Young Hotel.
The long banquet table was unique
in its decorations of red and green.
Down the center of the tables were the
desert sands, with here and there an
oasis, where wandering camels Gin
were seen. The Shriner
idea was picturesquely carried out not
only In the decorations but in the
menu. DR.. c. B. Wood acted as toast

THE DISPENSARY SITUATION.

Judge Roberts has, on the petit
ton of the city of Fitzgerald,
thro city attorney D. B. Jay and
the petition of S. S. Hite, granted
a temporary restraining order
which was served on the ordin-
airy Thursday morning, restrain
ing him from issuing an order
for the eletion provided for in the
dispensary act, which requires
the election to be held on October
5th. The effect ofthis order I'M
less it is modified it is thought,
will be to destroy the act as there
will not besufficient time between
the 18th instant and the 5th day
of October for advertising the
notwithstanding to1aw. It may
be possible however, for the
friends of the law to persuade
the court to so modify the or
der as to permit the necessary
advertising of the election, then if
they can defeat the plaintiffs at
the hearing on the 18th inst, the
election can be had as contem-
plated in the act. In that case
the bar-room people would in all
probability appeal tothe supreme
court, which however, need not
interfere with the progress of
the dispensary scheme until by a
decision of the supreme court
they are inhibited.
These matters will all be con-
sidered and thoroughly discussed
at meeting of the dispensary
advocates at meeting at Irwin
vile next Monday.

BISHOP TURNER ON LIBERIA.

AT recent conference or meet
ing of some kind, held in Val
dosta by leading negroes, the
question of migrating to Africa
from whence they originally
came, was discussed pro and con.
A former minister to Liberia
present at the conference was
in favor Of the proposed migra-
ton and represented Liberia as
being a most desirable country
tor the negroes. The discussion
was reported at the time in The
Telegraph. It elected further
discussion, and a report came to
the effect that negroesin Liberia
from Irwin county were writing
to their white acquaintance at
their former homes imploring
help to return to this country,
and giving very gloomy reports
about the condition of affairs in
thepromised land.
To these latter reports Bishop
H. M. Turner, of the African
Methodist Episcopal church,
makes answer in another column.
We do not know as much about
Liberia from personal observa-
ton and experience as the bishop
does, perhaps. He may over
draw the picture, being an ardent
advocate of migration, but we
have no doubt that it is a good
place for Southern negroes, and
we hope that as many as can will
avail themselves of any oppor-
tunity that may present itself to
go there and locate.
Bishop Turner has long since
arrived at that state of wisdom
from which he can see that this
is white mans country and to
remain here in peace the negro
must subordinate himself to the
white man. 1t is natural there
fore that brainy and ambitious
men of this race, like himself,
should wish to separate the
races and assemble their own in
country where the greatest
political and social eminence can
be attained by the best among
them. He does not agree with
Booker Washington that this
country will hold out in the end
the highest inducements to the
negro race. Washington's pol
icy has struck a popular chord
IN the North, and he is making
personal fame and fortune by it. |
Turner is less diplomatic and
more honest in the expression
of his views. He sees it as the
Intelligent Southern white man
sees it. Washington sees it as
the Northern so-called phi1an-
thropist sees it. His movement
is simply delaying the Turner
movement, which must come
about in the end unless the ne
groes give up the idea of political
and social eminence in a country
where such thing is impossible. |
The Telegraph is with Bishop
Turner in this contest, and will |
do all that it can to help him a.
long. His plan is not imprac-
teal. 1t is entirely feasible and
can be brought aboutin the course
OF time.-Macon Telegraph.
