A LACEY STRONGHOLD.
TSioux CITY JournaI.1


There is postoffice in Iowa called
Deep River. 1t is located on branch
of the Chicago and Northwestern rail-
road in the southeastern part of Powe-
shiek county. Grinell is the largest
and best known town in the county,
but Montezuna is the county seat.
Deep River is not large place. In the
gubernatorial election last year it cast
178 votes Cu1nn1ins and 60 for Sullivan.
Some people might believe Deep River
to be in the Fifth congressional dis
trict, but it is nearer the Second-that
spur Of it which reaches out and takes
in Johnson and Iowa counties. Deep
River is only few miles from Iowa
county, but that does not change the
fact that it is in Poweshiek county,
and Poweshiek county is in the Sixth
district. Maj Lacey is glad it is. Two
years ago Poweshiek county gave him
a plurality of 954, while the CONSOLE
dated plurality in his favor Of the re-
manning six counties was S59-making
a total plurality for Lacey of 1873.
Poweshiek has helped Lacey regularly
every two years beginning with his
first campaign in 1888. Even in 1890,
when he was defeated by Fred White,
the plurality against him being $40,
poweshiek gave Lacey a plurality of
211. Lacey does not care to lose
Poweshiek county, and he would be
sorry to part with Deep River town.
AS a mark of distinction the major
opened his campaign this year in
Poweshiek county, and the point chos-
en- was Deep River. But some reporters
have no sentiment. and some telegraph
editors do not keep a map of their
state before them. Maj. Lacey did the
proper thing. and he has increased the
iense of obligation among all the good
people of of Deep River. The topics he
debated he Illuminated, pand there are
many people widely scattered in the
state who were informed as to Deep
River who can now put their finger
upon it and describe the place and it's

telligenca

First Annual National Encamp-

st. Louis, Sept. 19.-The first annual
national encampment of the United

grounds. The following letter was re-
ceived by Communicating chief English
from President Roosevelt: II thank
you for your very kind and thoughtful
invitation, and let me at the outset con-
gratulate you and the Spanish war vet
Grams that you are commander mischief.
wish it were In my power to be pres
ent and meet you and my other COM
rades of the United Spanish war veter-
ans. 1t would give me peculiar pleas
ure to do so. l would certainly be pres
ent if it were possible for me at this
time, to go anywhere, and the fact
that it Is impossible causes me gem
uine regret. The men in 1898 volun-
teered at their country's call to show
that they had in them the same spirit
that actuated their fathers in 1861. The
task was easy and needed the exertlon
of but fraction of this nations gi-
gantic strength, but the way 1T was
done showed what q nation could do IL
the need was more gigantic.
my comradeship of the United
Spanish War Veterans is something
I prize more highly than / can we'll
say, and wish Godspeed to all at their
first national encampment as we'll as to
their comrades who are unable to at
tend. Sincerely yours.

Pretty Badly Mixed.
TWa Shjnpton Post Il

Senator Dick, of Ohio, found time
from his political duties to tell this
story:
An old friend up home cautioned me
not to get too much worked up during
this hot weather, and to avoid bad COM
pany and mad dogs. l was trying to
carry out the good mans advice, and
speaking of mad dogs reminds me of a
proclamation issued by the mayor OF
Dayton, my state, a number of years
ago Rabid dogs We're numerous and
the excitement was great. Te mayor be-
lieved in something heroic, SO he pub
lished:
u hereby issue my proclamation to
the people of Dayton, warning them
that it is unlawful for any person own
ing or having control of or harboring
any dog, or animal of the dog kind, to
run at large for the term of sixty days
from the publication of this proclama-
ton without being properly muzzled.'
L can't say how many of the cit
liens were kept from running at large
or how many were muzzled. The may
or got his pathology and phraseoIogy
pretty badly mixed"

RUSSIANS ARE OPTIMISTIC.
Dc Not Believe Japanese Can Take
Port Arthur.

Chefco. Sept 19.-Chinese, Russians
and Japanese here all agree that the
japanese vessels blockading Port Ar
thur are paving particular attention to
junks which for some time have been
trying to smuggls supplies into the for
tress and that when they are caught
the crews are roughly treated. The
junks generally are sunk and the men
on board taken into Port Dalny.
BY mistake the Japanese sunk a junk
which was carrying delicacies to Cen
eral Nogi, from ar admirer, but a part
OF the cargo was recovered.
Gen. Nogi commands the Japanese
besiegers. The japanese are employing
severe measures in this respect with
the idea of intimidating blockade run
ming.
Russian civiEa-s who have reached
hers from Port Arthur say that canned
corned beef is plentiful there and that
the fresh meat supply consists of
twelve horses slaughtered daily.
