IN DAYS GONE BY.
Mr.. SomerviIle Remembers When
There Was No Oskaloosa.

Montezuma Republican: We met a
very old gentleman the other evening
on the train going into Oskaloosa,
who remarked after we had struck
up a slight acquaintance, that when
he first came to the state there was
no Oskaloosa and only a shanty or
two in what is now the hustling city
of Ottumwa. Wondrous transforma-
tion this, for an empire in intellect
and material wealth to rise out of the
prairie sod in less than an ordinary
life time. The old gentleman's name
is Somerville, distant relative of the
Rev j. w. Somerville, whom he was
going to visit. There are no doubt
quite a number of old people who
can remember the time when there
wasn't town in the interior of this
state.

MAJOR JOHN r. LACEY.

Keokuk County News: During the
campaign which is now drawing to
a close no speaker has been more
sought after than Major John F.
Lacey of this congressional district.
He has had hundreds of calls that
he could not fill on account of time.
He has spoken every day since the
parts of the state and always had
large audiences. He is one of the
strongest and most pleasing of
speakers. His meetings in this
county were very largely attended
as they always are. All like to hear
the Major no difference what his
subject is. He is growing stronger
each year with the people. During
all his campaigning in years past he
has never missed filing an appoint.
ment, although he has had to ride
day and night some times to his
place of speaking. The Sixth con.
gressional district is proud of its
representative, and they should be,
for he is one of the ablest men in
congress. He is we'll posted on all
questions that come before congress.
He is well versed in the history OF
the country and a close observer OF
passing events, which makes him a
valuable man in the position he now
occupies. No man stands higher in
the estimation Of all the people than
Major John F. Lacey, for they al.
ways know where to find him and
nave confidence to believe he win do
what is for the best interests of all
concerned. He is a good man to
keep where he is unless it would be
to promote him.
