DON'T GO TO ST. LOUIS ALONE.

DON'T GO TO ST. LOUIS ALONE.
To the young girl who is promised
employment at good wages in st. Louis
during the fair: Don't go. Procurers
are plying their nefarious calling
throughout Iowa and the selling their
victims into the worst form of slav-
cry. The allurement of good positions
and high wages is the bait offered by
those who claim to represent respect
able employment agencies, but are in
fact the emissaries of the devil. No
girl should go to St. Louis during the
fair unless accompanied by a friend
or met by friends on her arrival there.
Otherwise the gates of hell yawn for
her. - Keokuk Gate City. a7
The above warning is exceedingly
timely. AS the Gate City suggests the
dangers which surround the girl who
goes to st. Louis alone are greatly
multiplied. The offers made by these
agents of the devil are exceedingly
enticing and are so shrewdly masked
that no suspicion is aroused until
the prospective victim has been en-
trapped. No girl can afford to take

LAcEY,s EuLoeY.

Congressman John +. Lacey, repre-.
sentative from the sixth Iowa district
paid very feeling tribute to the late
Senator Marcus A. Hanna recently in
the house. He called to mind some
of the accomplishments of this great
American citizen and how, during his
public career he turned the tide of con-
dernnation that set in against him, to
one of admiration and of confidence.
Major Lacey's tribute should be read
by every American citizen and is re-
produced herewith:
Mr.. Speaker, we commemorate to-
day the public life and services of
Marcus A. Hanna. whose great and
useful career has so suddenly terminal
ed.
His political life was exposed to the
fiercest attacks, but he outlived cal
umny and died loved and honored ev-
en- by those who fought him the hard
est.
The world has always loved the man
who does things He ranks far above
the man who only says things.

hated man in America.

been piled against him with persist
ence and telling effect, and he was
thoroughly and effectually misunder-
stood. even in his own party, save by
those who knew him personally.
It, was we'll said of Sir Joshua
Reynolds by Northcutt that the great
painter would as lief have committed
a forgery as to draw a caricature.
When finally Mr.. Hanna took the
stump in person and demonstrated that
he could talk as well as act, the peo-
pie looked into his clear, honest eyes,
listened to his strong, vigorous and
sound logic and the frozen crust of
hate melted and he was at once valued
at his true worth. the myth disappear

BRAVERY OF THE JAps.

The report of Vice Admiral Togo,
confirmed by the complete disappear
ance of the Russian squadron from
the field of activity, shows
that the entrance to the Port
Arthur harbor has been blocked. This
important service for their country
by the mikado's men is one Of the
most heroic incidents in the annals of
war. The blockading hotilla, consist
ing of eight stone-laden, merchantmen
was escorted at night through tempest
uous seas and although the admiral
gave permission to abandon the at
tack on account of the storm which
was raging. the commanders of these
vessels steered straight to the harbor
in defiance of the fury of the elements
and the sunken mines and the forts of
the Russians. An account of the des-
perate courage of one of the Japanese
heroes will suffice for all Lieutenant
Sosa, who was in command of the Mi.
kawa Maru, unhesitatingly forced his
ship into the channel and rammed his
way through the booms and reached
the center Of the inner entrance. Here
he anchored his vessel and then blew
her up.' - I'll
The remarkable heroism displayed
by the Japanese on land and sea is al
most a racial characteristic - the re-
suit as an authority claims, of the feud-
al organization which existed in ia
pan UP to 1869. Under this system the
cultivation of warlil1e spirit and de-
votion to the prince was made the
chief object of life. The contempt for
suffering and death and the fidelity
to the feudal master which were
taught is expressed in the old proverb,
"Thou shalt not live under the same
sky with thy masters enemy" In old
en- times the Japanese were expected
to commit suicide in order to escape
shame or disgrace. The rigor of this
old feudal system has been abolished
by law but the spirit which it bred still
remains. A great proportion of the
officers of the present Japanese army
are descendants of the Daimios, Hatta-
mottos or princes of "the Epoch" or
middle nobility and Of the Karus, or
personal attendants of these princes.
who were ready for everything in the
service of their masters. They have
all transferred their allegiance and
enthusiasm to the mikado and have
inspired the common soldiers with
these old principles, so that the es-
prit de corps Of the Japanese army is
well nigh perfect.

The Courier is advised that the re-.
publicans of Monroe county are con.
templating bringing out Hon. John A
DeMuth, of Jackson township, that
county, as a candidate from the sixth
district for delegate to the National
Republican convention. Mr.. DeMuth
is one of the strong and substantial
men of the sixth district. He formerly
resided in Davis county and was a
brother-in-law of Editor Van Benthuy-
sen, Of the Chicago Tribune and New
York World, whose death occurred a
few months ago. Mr.. DeMuth is a
farmer and a thoroughly representa-
tive republican. He is known as a
standpatter and if his name is formally
presented to the district convention as
a candidate for delegate, he will have
strong support from the start.

does not like New York city, and will
spend q goodly portion of his time

fraud, charging conspiracy existed

which they control. The Supreme Court
at Denver at one sitting threw out 1000
Adams votes. and on the ground of fraud
his plurality over the republican candi-

State Board of Canvassers consists of the
