HAPPENINGS IN IOWA
EVENTS OF A WEEK THROUGH
OUT THE STATE.
Governor Albert q. cummins lnausu
rated Governor Of Iowa for
the Second Time-Advo.
Gates Reciprocity.

Governor Albert B. Cummins was
Thursday inaugurated governor Of
Iowa for the second time. In his in
augural address Governor Cummins
declared for strict observance of the
law and for education in the moral
rather than in the intellectual sense
He advocated advancement in national
affairs and declared that a nation
either advanced or refrigerated.
He declared that in his judgment
the men who manipulated combines
were no better than the mobs who
otherwise desecrated the law.
Governor Cummins was outspokeD
in his advocacy of reciprocity.
Iowa has been faithful to the policy
OF protection" he continued. "and she
is still as true as the needle to the
pole. The benefits she has derived
have been very great, but larger in.
cidental. The time has come for her
to raise high into the political heavens
the twin flag-reciprocity. Let us, for
a season, take the direct advantages
and allow the incidental blessings to
fall upon others. Let us have the reel
procity demanded in The platform OF
1903"
The governor closed with a plea fol
the early education of the boys and
girls along lines of morality, declar
ing that upon them rested the founda
ton of sound government.
Reads His Own Message.
Following precedent established
by Ex-Governor Shaw, Governor Cum
minis read his own message to the
Thirteenth general assembly. His rec
lamentations relative to the insurance
! laws of Iowa and special examinations
| bordered on the sensational. The
governor virtually declared that III
Insurance companies in Iowa had beer
mulcted to the amount of more thar
| $4,000. The assembly was urged tt
! reimburse these companies for thu
amounts paid for Special examina
lions. Governor Cummins advised tina
appropriations be held down to 81,
100000, and recommended that all off
! cial fees go into the state treasury

ton law for the nomination of all off

Courtney Savings bank, who attempted
suicide by shooting last week, is dead.
The state bank examiner has closed
the doors Of the bank and receiver

Of face value Of $4,000 found in the
vaults Of the bank were discovered to
be copies and cannot be counted as
assets. Certificates amounting to $780,
900 have turned up and are not ac-
counted for in the bank books The
shortage Of $55,000 may not have been
known to Cashier G. F. Utterback

Impersonated Iowa Ranker.

Convicted at Burlington, VT, of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
by impersonating a wealthy banker
and dry goods merchant Of the same
name at Atlantic, Ia, Joseph H. Mar
shall was sentenced to not less than
five and one-half or not more than six
years in state prison. It developed
during the trial OF Marshall that the
Iowa banker had been impersonated
not less than fifteen times during the
past three years and that in each In
stance the imposter secured sums
ranging from 5000 to 5000.

81 the day on which the Demo
cratic national convention will
meet. When the national committee
convened in Washington on the 10Th,
the principal and striking feature Of
the gathering was Democratic conf
dence in the outcome Of the impend-
ing campaign. Whether well found
ed or not. the confidence exists.
1t is universal. The Republicans
are doubtful and fearful of the
results There was much more
talk among visiting Democrats about
carrying the country than there was
about particular candidates. There was
more talk about German, Parker and
Hearst than about anybody else. Ev-
erybody admits that General Francis
Marion Cockrell of Missouri would
make tiptop president, and there is
much more consideration of his name
outside the state than most, wiscacres
appear to know of. 1t goes without
saying that all Alissourians are for the
grand old man. The objection to him
that he comes from state reliably
Democratic should have no weight
whatever. He is honest, lie is capable
he is faithful to the constitution-the
Jeffersonian tests. An outsider car
poll as many votes in New York, New
Jersey, Illinois and other doubtful
states as an insider. That has beer
demonstrated over and over again. The
outsider is not weakened by factiona
fights within the party; so, on the
whole, the convention could not dc
better than to nominate the great Mis-
sourian.

KAISER IN EXCELLENT VOICE
Asads Speech from Throne Opening
the Prussian Diet.
Hnters Hall in Unwonted state-Ex.
AealtA-Cheers Tardily Given.

. Berlin, Jan. 18.-The newly elected
Prussian diet was opened Saturday by
Emperor William, as king of Prussia,
who read the speech from the throne
in full, resonant voice, which was
heard clearly throughout the spacious,
white hall of the castle.
The emperor introduced cere-
monial not previously used by him
or by his predecessors at the opening
Of the diet. He entered the hall pre-
coded by two tall heralds, wearing
tabards checkered with the royal arms
and quarterings in white, black and
blue and red and gold, one of the
heralds bearing a banner on which
were emblazoned the Hohenzollern
arms. and the emperor, carrying ban
nor showing the arms of Prussia. A
train of princes followed. including the
crown prince, Frederick William,
Prince Henry Of Prussia and Prince
Albrecht Of Prussia, and Chancellor
Won Buelow.
The speech. which entirely con-
cerned domestic affairs, said the king
thanked Providence for his speedy res
toration to health and expressed graft
tude for the warm sympathy shown
him by the people.
Continuing, he referred to the i'm
provement in the economic situation
in Prussia, to the augmentation of the
revenues, whereby the financial year
Of 1903 would show surplus, and
added that the estimates of the rev.
enue and expenditures for 1904 would
balance.
The proposed legislation includes the
completion of the Berlin-Stettin wa
teTway. the conversion of a portion of
the Oder into a canal and the improve
mont Of the Oder and Vistula water
ways.
The emperor, at the conclusion of
reading the speech, placed his he'll
met on his head and waited mo-
ment for the customary three cheers
fer the king. which it is the privilege
OF Herr Schaffner, the Oldest mem
Der Of the diet, to propose. Herr
Schanner. however, forgot to do so
and, after an awkward pause, the en-
peror walked toward the door, fol
lowed by the princes and ministers
Some one thereupon prompted Herr
SchaRner. and he proposed the cheers
which were then heartily given.

Debt. of the World.

sidered that practically all Of these
bonds are held by Frenchmen; there
fore there is little drain on the nation
from outside sources. The same is
largely true of Great Britain's four
billions of debt. Russia owes three
and third billions, the most Of the
interest on which goes to France each
year. Italy owes two and half bill
lions, but much Of it is invested in
railroads government lines. Spain is
hopelessly buried under debt Of two
billions. The total debt of the United
States is less than billion, and If we
subtract from this the amount of cash
in the treasury it leaves balance of
about $70O,OOO,O0O. More than two
thirds Of this draws only 2 per cent,
so the head Of each family would come
in for about 50 per year to pay the in
terest II it were collected through a
direct tax, but rs it is, while he is
paying his proportionate share of the
tariff on imports, that tariff is enabling
the American manufacturers to hold up
and rob him on everything he buys that
IL of American manufacture. Hence
on account Of the tariff he is mulcted
for very much larger sum, but only
about 81 Of it goes to pay this interest.
The remainder buys automobiles and
diamond sunbursts for the millionaire
manufacturers and their wives.
