A COUP.

Des Moines Capital: Nate Kendall
of Abba, candidate for the next speak
err of the house Of representatives,
was one o. the people at a conference
of Cummins men held last evening
the result of which al not made pub
lie. Kendall has been in Des Moines
three times within the last week. Sun
day night when he was here he did
not expect to return, and therefore
the summons by the Cummins people
yesterday to attend the conference
was in the nature of a surprise.
Today is is rumored that the ques-
ton of the ~speakership was discussed
last evening, but inasmuch as Clarke
of Dallas, the other candidate, is also
a staunch Cummins man, there is lit
tie or no ground for the belief that so
weighty a matter as this came up for
consideration last night.
r. H. Spence, of Mt. Ayr, chairman
Of the state central committee who
was elected to that position with the
five votes of the Cummins men, was
in the city last night, accompanied
by his wife to do some Christmas
shopping. He vas not invited to the
Cummins conference and did not at
tend the function.
The real object of Kendall's pres
ence was undoubtedly on account Of
a desire of the Cummins managers to
discuss the attitude of the Sixth dis
trict with respect to the next state
committee. Both Thomas A. and
Stizel Way in as chairman, although
and it is understood, in fact it has
been generally known for some time,
that every effort would be made by
the Cummins people to get control of
the committee next year and put
Stitzel Way in as chairman, although
C. w. Phillips of the Second is rank
ing Cummins member in point of SER
vice.
To elect Way six districts must
needs be carried for Cummins. Five
are now secure: Second, Fourth,
Tenth and Eleventh. The Sixth dis
trict is the one needed, and it is to
this end that full information con-
corning the district is desired. .
State Auditor Carroll is expected to
swing Davis county, and Kendall Mon
roe county, while Keokuk, Poweshiek
and Jasper are well within the Cum
minis pale, leaving only Mahaska and
Wapello missing.

kIpLINe ATTACKS ALLIANCE,

In a poem that reflects the senti-
ment of the British nation, Rudyard
Kipling iercely attacks the Anglo
German Alliance against Venezuela.
1t is entitled "The Powers" and pic
lures of men-of-warsmen grumbling at
being compelled to join hands with
such allies, who were the bitterest
haters Of the British during the South
African war. The poem contains the
Following:
Last night We swore our voyage was
done,
But seward still we go,
And We tell us now of a secret vow
Ye have made with an open foe.
That we must lie off a lightless coast
And haul and back and yeer,
At the will of the breed that have
wronged us most
For aye and aye and a year.
Having enumerated some of the
enormities ascribed to the Germans,
the poet continues:
The dead they Knocked are scarcely
cold,
Our wounds are bleeding yet,
And We tell us now that our strength
is sold
To help them press for debt.
Meath ali the flags of all mankind
That fly upon the seas
Was there no other feet to find
That We strike hands with these?
OF evil times that men could choose
On evil fate to fall
What brooding judgment let we loose,
To pick the worst of all?
In sight of peace from the narrow
seas,
Ger half the world to run.
With a cheated crew to leagues anew
With the Goth and the shameless
Hun?

NAMING NEW STATES.

Congressman Lacey, while he is
favorable to the admission of the ter.
~ritories of Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory, is very much opposed to
the proposition to fasten the name
State of jefferson" upon the consol.
dated territories, in case congress
should finally decide to admit them
into the sisterhood of states, There
has also been some talk of admitting
the combined territories of New Mex
leo and Arizona as one state under
the name of state of Mckinley
Major Lacey is equally against this
proposition. He takes the view that
states should be given Indian names.
Referring to the scheme to bestow
names of men who have been illus
trious in American history upon
states, Mr.. Lacey said to a Washing
ton correspondent:
1.-THE places Of Thomas Jefferson
and of William Mckinley in history
and in the affections Of the people
whom they well served require no adj
ditional monument other than that
which they themselves have reared.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign "
Group is ~hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the rough cough appears, and 1t
will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may
be avoided. This remedy is used ~

Friends of Central college at
Pella are rejoicing. A movement for
increased endowment, to be complet-
ed next June, has been finished seven
months before the time planned. In
addition to this, conditional pledges
have been made that will bring the
amount up to $4,000 by next June,
and also secure a presidents house.
The class rooms are overcrowded
with students and the board of trus-
tees are to meet soon to plan new
buildings to accommodate the in
creased attendance. The plans are
to remodel the main building by add
ing wings and christen it Memorial
Hall, in memory of the days from 81
to '65, when 125 young men out of an
attendance of 1875 left school at their
country's call to save the Union.

The Iowa school census

The Iowa school census shows q
falling off of 1000 as compared with
a year ago. In 1901 the number of
children of school age in the state
was 735,159. This year it is 728, $40.
Superintendent Barrett is inclined TO
think the decline more apparent than
actual; that the figures may be at
fault. In some districts the boards,
instead of taking an accurate census,
content themselves with making an
estimate of the school population.
During the year the compensation for
male teachers increased from $41.53
per month to 1896, while the pay Of
female teachers decreased from $30.68
to $30.17. This is the lowest since
1896, but the total paid to teachers in
Iowa has been steadily increasing
since that time.

upon states would involve more quick
ly than Jefferson and Mckinley, could
they give utterance to their wishes.
The magnitude Of their accomplish
ments will not be increased by the
printing of their names across tracts
Of land as they will appear upon maps.
The name of states in honor of men
is a mistaken poloicy; it is bad enough
to name towns and cities after men,
as the numerou %'vllles," towns and
Durgs" testify.
Does anyone presume to suggest
that Deweyville would sound more
euphonous than Manila, or Roosevelt
on than Santiago, or Milesburg than
San Juan? A sad mistake was made
when the farthest northwestern state
was named Washington, and the peo-
pie of that commonwealth realize it
now. A man from that state travelling
in the east is compelled to put in a
good deal of time explaining that h.5
Washington is the state of that name,
and they tell me it is getting monot-
onous.
"They came within an ace of call
ing Colorado the State Of Lincoln. A
certain element seemed bent upon
calling the state Lincoln, but wiser
councils finally prevailed, and now
there are no advocates of the name
Lincoln. Colorado is a beautiful name
which has a peculiar significance;
it stands for that particular section of
territory; it means something. There
would be no harmony or taste in say
ing that Lincoln was a great gold pro-
Queer, or that the natural advantages
of Lincoln were so-and-so. The name
Lincoln is ~inseparably associated with
a great man; al illustrious and below
ed martyred president. The use of
that name in connection with a sover-
eign state would have amounted al
most to sacrilege; it would have con-
stantly grated upon the sensibilities
of the people of the whole country.
who would think of comparing the
name New York with iowa, or Mime
sofa; or Pennsylvania with Wisconsin,
Colorado, Nevada or Dakota, The en-
pire state was named in honor of the
Duke of York, and while we have be-
come used to it, as we have with the
dreadful combination, Pennsylvania,
yet when analysed New York
nothing, and the title of the great key
stone state is of very doubtful har-
mony and meaning.
"The same plan might we'll have
been considered in the naming OF
counties. Iowa is singularly FORUM
ate in the titles to its counties, many
of them being named after Indians.
There can be no possible comparison
between the names Mahaska and Polk,
except to the disadvantage of the lat
ter. The same with Winneshiek as
against Jones, or Wright. There is in
variabIy a harmony of sound, a rythm,
a smoothness in an Indian name not
found in the combination of letters
and syllables fashioned by the Anglo
Saxon.
Who will not say that Oklahoma Is
a more pleasing name for a state than
Jefferson? If there are objections to
Oklahoma, give the new combination,
in case it becomes a state, the title of
one of the tribes of Indians Of the
territory; call it Chlckasaw OF Musko-
gee. There are scores Of beautiful
names without drawing upon states
men and presidents for titles"
