Constable George Andrews and Police
man Bert Mastin went down to serve
the warrants, and if the Italians were
innocent they should have come along
with the officers and have proven their
innocence in court. Instead they drew
guns, showed fight, and the entire
camp Joined them in resisting arrest.
1t was then that the additional war
rants were sworn out by the officers
on the new charge and larger force
organized to enforce the law. 1t is
significant that when they were
brought into court they all pleaded
guilty to the charge of resisting an
officer. This is an indictable offense,
but they were let off with a small fine.
The whole thing was sensational, and
in the spirit of the occasion the Her
aid reporter told it as vividly as the
facts would warrant. The Herald has
no occasion to take sides in the mat
ter or decide the affair out Of court,
but it believes when an offense has
been committed the officer and the
law should be sustained.

CALAMITY ECHOES.

The Abba Republican has been look
ing over the local field of calamity
howlers and is constrained to make
the following observation:
Under republican administration
national democratic leaders such as
Bryan, Coxey, and Gen. Weaver, and
others have greatly prospered finan-
cially until they cannot consistently
howl calamity. Their success has been
paralleled by local democrats in apro'
portionate scale Since the country
has gone republican and they have
been retired from Office, John T. Clark
son and David Bates are each building
$4,000 houses, NJ. G. Falvey has acquir-
ed half interest in a big lumber yard
and is doing fourishing business.
John Walsh has more business than a
bird dog and John P. Reese who was
defeated for congress has a $4,000 job,
Yea verify the sun of prosperity shin
eth alike on the just and unjust and

SOME PECULIAR NAMES.

A genius in the Postof1ce Depart
ment at Washington has been over
hauling his collected memoranda of
several years in the matter of odd
tricks of geographic nomenclature
INDUCED in here and there. Some of
his notations are mentioned in letter
to the New York Evening Post. Ac-
cording to the authority in question, if
Jefferson could have had his way, we
should have had stars on our flag to
represent Sylvania, Cheronesus, AS
senisippis, Metropotania, Polypota-
mia, and Pelipsia, among other states
of the Union. Among the ultra pecul-
lar names enumerated are Mud in
Texas, Mule in Oregon, Wax in Iowa,
Sawdust in Florida, Virtue in Ten
nessee, Wit in North Carolina, Pecu-
liar in Missouri and Pious in Ohio.
New Jersey is credited with revel~
ing in more oddities in geographical
names than any other state, The fol-
lowing are examples: Ragtown,
Pluckemin, Tillietudelum, Packtown,
Wollyfield, Hensfoot, Buckshutem,
Duty Neck, Hackle Barney, Clerks
Store, Smiths Turnout and Double
trouble.
Down in Maine there is a place call
ed Bailey's Mistake. To add to our
assortment we have annexed with
Porto Rico the tributary isle known
as Dead Mans Chest. KeoEuk, Keo-
sauQua, Kalamazoo, Kokomo and Ka-
hoka pale into insignifcance in COM
parison with such appellations.
Many towns have undergone change
of name. Council Bluffs in this state
was originally known as Kanesville;
in the early days Muscatine was call
ed Bloomington. Burlington was Flint
Hills; Warsaw, Fort Edwards, Den
yer began life as st. Charles, but got
it's present name from Gen. J. w. Dem
yer, who never saw it until it had
grown to be a prosperous town.

Major Lacey received an inqui

Major Lacey received an inquiry
the other day in regard to the posi-
bility of the opening of the new lands
in the event of the admission of the
territories by the passing of the state
hood bill. He says in reply that all
the public land in the territory is al
ready opened except Indian lands anu
these would not be opened anyway for
some years. Outside of the Indian
reservations the territories have no
land to be opened to settlers and the
condition of statehood would make
scarcely any difference in the condi-
tion which prevails in the territorial
state. The only thing the states could
do that territories can not would be to
sell the land which has been granted
to them for scnool purposes. The
state legislatures would have to pass
an act to make this legal. There are
wide expanses of Indian land in the
territories which will be opened some
day, but the question of statehood
makes no difference in this connection.
1t is governed entirely by the condi-
ton of the Indians.

MILTON PLEADS NOT GUILTY.
offers an Explanation of His Action
in Not Turning over the Money.

Marshalltown, Feb. 17-Sheriff
Shoemaker arrived home on Sunday
morning from Springfield, ILL.,, in
charge of Joseph l.. Milton, the Iowa
Central brakeman, who was arrested
at the Illinois capital on charges Of
larceny by embezzlement and obtain
ing money under false pretenscs.
Milton was arraigned thismorning and
pleaded not guilty to each. His bonds
we're fixed at $3.50, and he went to jail
in default of their payment.
Milton explains his actions by say
ing that he left the money collected for
Frank Schoffner, of Grinnell, with an
Oskaloosa restaurant man, with in
structions that it be turned over to a
certain brakeman, for delivery to
schoffner. The officers place but lit
tie credence in the story. Milton's
hearing has been set for the 23d.

THE ITALIAN AFFAIR.

In the several communications which
were given space in the Herald last
week, the writer's seem to have gotten
mistaken idea of the trouble with
the Italians who are camped southeast
of town. The "Dagoes" were not jerk
ed up and fined either for killing wild
game or for stealing, but for resisting
an officer, which is a very serious
charge. Information was filed by Mr..
James Picken, charging two of the
Italians with violating the game laws.
