TROPHIES
Des Moines Veterans offer Republi-
can Prizes Again.

Des Moines, Sept 29.--The State
Republican committee has issued the
following proclamation;
'To the Republicans Of Iowa: The
Veteran Tippecanoe Club will present
magnificent banner to the county
that makes on the 3rd. of November,
the largest proportionate gain as COM
pared with the republican vote Of
1900, and fine silk flag to the county
making the best absolute gain over
the republican vote of 1900. The BAN
ner is now held by Monroe county and
the flag by Jasper county.
Every county in the state stands an
equal chance of securing the banner
or the flag. The former is given to
the county making the best proper
tionate gain, and the latter to the
county making the best absolute gain.
A Democr- tic county can win as well
as Republican county, and the get
ting out of the republican vote is
what will decide the question. Let
the republicans in each and every
county exert themselves to win either
the banner or the flag. R. H. Spence.

EVERGREENS ARE UP.
The Christmas Tree This Year Will
Cost More Than It
Did Last.
First Of Season Arrived This Morn.
ing-The Supply Is Becom-
ing Scarcer.

Quotations from the advance brig
ade of the Christmas tree vendors in
dictate that the market will be bullish
this year and that there will be an
advance in prices similar NO that
which marked the holiday season of
last year.
This morning two carloads of spruce
trees from the region north of Brai-
nerd We're placed on sale on Second
street N, and carload of basams
was being unloaded In the same place
this afternoon. This is the first ap-
pearance of the Christmas tree in
this market this year, and it's coming
is considerably earlier than it was last
winter.
For four-foot trees the price still
holds at $3.50 per dozen, but a twelve
foot tree, which formerly sold for 81
is being held this year at $1.25 and
$3.50, while tWenty-fOot trees, which
were sold for $3.50 last Christmas, are
being quoted at SIS this year.
Trees continue to increase in price
because we have to go farther for
them each year and good trees con-
tinually become scarcer," said Mr.
Burkquist, the pioneer in this seasons
trade. 1.-The necessity of shipping
them in from greater distance also
increases the price because of the
freight rates and the long hauls we
have to make.
I'VE are on the ground early this
year because we had to come farther
and did not want to take chances on
delays. The season really ends sew
eral days before Christmas anyway,
and 1t pays to get in early"

Enthusiastic Throngs at Dayton's An

Enthusiastic ThrOngS at DaytOn'S An.
nual Silk Sale.
All records were broken to-day at
the opening Of Dayton's annual silk
SALE With a record like that of last
year to overcome it was believed that
q first days receipts equal to it would
be all that could be reasonably ex-
pected. BUT the greater quantities,
the lower prices and the magnificent
assortments were irresistible drawing
features.
From the opening Of the day the
three floors were thronged with buyers
enthusiastic over the varieties and the
saving. The arrangements were ade-
quate. The placing of the tables all
through the store obviated all crowd
ing and made shopping a pleasure.
The extra salespeop1e, bundle wrap
pers and cash girls made the service
equal to the demands upon it.
Altogether nothing like this sale has
ever been seen in the silk line in this
part of the country, and it has placed
Dayton's secure in their leadership as
the great silk sellers of the twin cities.
But this is only the opening. The
sale continues with added assortments
every day.

RED Man And R. R.
Letter From an Indian to w. R.
Galloway on Early Indian
View of Railroads.
1t Accompanied Gift From Berth
old Indians to the 500
q. P. A.

General Passenger Agent w. r. CAL
laway of the 500 line has just received
a remembrance which will be unique
among the wall decorations of his
office. 1t was sent by pupils of the
Indian school at the Fort Berthold
agency. North Dakota. Last fall
when Mr.. Galloway sent several In
dfans east to the Carlisle school in
Pennsylvania, the youngsters visited
his office and examined carefully the
photographs on it's walls. They have
added as their token, an exhibit Of
school work. This includes photo
graphs Of scenes at the reservation,
figures from famous paintings, and
letters and essays on several subjects.
One letter. particularly interesting,
gives the Indian idea of railroads. It
reads:
Il will write a short letter about
what the Indians used to think of
railroads. They were at first much
afraid Of the cars and engine. The
engine was the most frightful. They
had many different ideas about it.
Some thought it must be the white
mans devil, sure, and would chase
them over the prairie; others called
1t fire boat walks on the mountains,
and 1t was some time before we would
go near the railroad.
"
the train, or more SO, than we were,
The Indians could not understand at
first that the road was for a good
purpose, but thought it an invention
Of that strange race Of people we call
pale faces to do us harm. A few
Indians who were better educated and
more intelligent than the others soon
learned the nature Of the railroad,
but many of the Indians would not
believe what they said for some time.
1--WE are glad that the railroads are
near us, for when we want to go to
Minneapolis or Chicago for a visit, or
to ship our cattle, it only takes a few
days to do SO, but If we had to ride
out ponies it would require a long
time. This new way of living, the old
when we lived on buffalo meat and
fought the Sioux when they came to
rob and kill us.
IT could write this with a pen, but
for. convenience I use the typewriter

PLANNED TO ESCAPE


A Clever Plot Of Two Workhouse Prison
ers Is FoIed. o
A clever plot to escape from the work
house was foiled last evening by the or
ganzation introduced into that institution
by Superintendent Frank Mcdonald. Alec
Reid, the well. bred English boy doing four
months for burglary and George Williams,
90-day ''vag" of burglarious propensities,
had stolen two suits Of citizens clothes, the
property Of prisoners, had deposited them
in a barrel outside the building, loosened
the bars on one window and taken the iron
standard Of a cobbler's last for a weapon.
They planned to get out when the house
hold was called together for roll call at
dusk. Their plans were easy Of operation
for Reid was employed in the shoe shop
and Williams worked on prisoners clothes.
Superintendent Mcdonald received tip
as to what was up and as a. result both
men are in the Solitary to-day
