We have yet TO hear of person
who has tried the King road drag who
has not been surprised at the results
accomplished. Why not at least give
it trial in each township of the
comfy. We believe it will go long
ways toward solving the good roads
problem. It's cheapness is its best
recommendation.

1t is earnestly to be hoped that the
newspapers of Iowa which have been
maligning Lafe Young of the Des
Moines Capitol through charging him
with robbing the state by excessive
charges when state binder will now
let up. In civil suit entitled State
of Iowa VS.. Young, the latter gets a
complete verdict and eXoneration The
matter has been brought up in nearly
every campaign since he was state
binder, and we are glad it has been
finally disposed of.

Medal for Special Bravery.

Last week l.. l.. Caldwell received
from Washington a decoration hand
some in design, unique i'll character,
and distinguished in purpose. 1t is a
badge or medal conferred upon him by
special act of Congress in recognition
of a special act of bravery during the
civil war, and is similar to the decora-
tions conferred bv foreign countries to
their bravest soldiers. 1t will be
remembered that number of years
ago some of Mr.. Cadwells comrades
whose evidence as eye-witnesses OF an
act of special daring and bravery was
conclusive, asked that this recognition
be given him, and Congress according
ly voted it. Mr. Caldwell lost ii dur
ing the Minneapolis national encamp-
ment, or it might have been stolen
from him, and the government issued
a duplicate. Since much finer and
more handsome medal has been issued
by the government, and Mr.. CALDWELL S
arrived last week, and is a gold and
green medal, suspended on an elegant
green ribbon, bearing the G.. A. K.
emblem. The distinction is one of
which Mr.. Caldwell may justly feel
proud, as there are only two other
medals of this nature in the state, and
it is an honor conferred only in rare
cases of special merit.
For the first time in the history of
the United States an ocean race has
taken place between seven of the
largest battle ships. The race began
at ten O'Clock Saturday morning May
9th, 200 miles south of Cape Henry,
and was won by the Missouri, which
had covered 1863 miles at O'Clock
in the evening, and was l61. miles
ahead of the Alabama, which finished
last. The other vessels engaged were
the Maine, Kearsarge, Kentucky,
Iowa and Massachusetts, arriving at
the destination agreed on in the order
named.
Tom Tibbles, of Nebraska, the can
