"Do you each solemnly swear that

A Crisis in IOWa's History.

The population of some of the New
England states increases so slowly that
they may be regarded as stationery
communities. Iowa is approaching
the same condition. The recent
census Of that state shows a decline
of population in the rural portions
of majority of the counties. The
footings have not been completed. 1t
is uncertain whether the census will
show an increase or decrease for the
state as whole. If there is an in
crease it will be very slight. The
growth OF Iowa III population from
1890 to 1900 was the smallest decen-
NAL growth recorded since it became
a state. The reason for the decline is
that land is becoming too dear. Many
Iowans are emigrating to the north
west and to Canada. Most of the
towns are losing population, and the
group of cities having a population
OF 10000 and over is far from being
satisfactory. The population of the
state doubled between 1870 and 1880.
Dispatches describing the situation say
that the western railroads, by en-
couraging emigration to states farther
west, where lands are cheaper, have
checked the growth of Iowa. The
inevitable consequence will be fall
in the price of farm lands. 1t is said
that comparisons are freely made with
the situation in the declining regions
Of New York and New England,
and Iowa is awakening to the
realization that something like crisis
in her history is at hand. "-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

SpillYiIle is all Right.

A gentleman of tins city takes ex-
ception to the reflections upon the
town of Spillville in Winneshiek
equity. He claims to have been fami-
liar with that Bohemian settlement
for the past twenty years and contends
that there is not more progressive
and law-abiding class of people in
the state of Iowa. He says that Sun
day observance is not so Puritanical
perhaps as at some places, but they
attend church regularly, do their
trading and return to their homes as
orderly as in any community. Fine
homes and large barns and farm i'm
provements are III evidence on every
hand, and in county improvements,
that section of the county has always
given its vote in that direction. He
claims that as matter of fact, the
B Ohemians vie with each other in the
erection OF fine homes, each farmer
trying to Guido his neighbor in this
regard. Charles City Herald.
