for the battle flags now in cases on
the second floor. These sacred evil
dences of patriotism and courage will
be removed from the cases in which
they now are, to their final resting
places, on Wednesday, August 80,
1905, at 10 a. m. The removal will
be attended with an appropriate cere-
mony, and earnestly invite every sol
der of the war to be present upon the
occasion. I especially invite all the
color-bearers in Iowa regiments, as
nothing could be more fitting than
that these color bearers should carry
the old flags again.
Respectfully submitted

Adjutant General Newman. of the
state G. A. r. department, has also re-
ceived letters from nearly twenty-five
of the Iowa civil war veterans organi-
cations signifying that they will have
representatives present to assist in the
placing of the old battle flags in their
new cases at the state house.
One of the flag bearers at the re-
moval ceremony will be M. w. Nelson
who was shot down in battle while
carrying the flag of the Fortieth Iowa
infantry The old flag is now in the
state house collection and Mr.. Nelson
will have the honor of again bearing
the sacred colors. He also participant

Work is progressing rapidly in the
construction of the new flag cases in

the shell shaped interiors.

WOMEN RULE IN lNDusTRlALlsM.
Mr.. Bodlne Says Man, Like the Indian,
is Bejnu Driven Out.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 1.-THE speech
of Mr.. Bodine, who is superintendent
of compulsory education, created a
mild sensation among the delegates to
the convention of factory inspectors
and sociologists.
The speaker produced federal statis-
tics covering the last twenty years
showing that the industrial competi-
ton of women, children and machine
labor was driving the men out of the
large cities to fields of heavy manual
labor in mining and agriculture. He
declared that woman was destined to
be the ruling sex in ind1strialism and
continued:
Man, like the Indian, is dying out
and being driven out. In 1890, there
were 3,914,571 women who were en-
ployed in gainful occupations in
America. In 1900 the number had in
creased to 5,329,807. The birth rate
among the female occupation is in
creasiDg and the death decreasing. 1t
is just the reverse among the males.
We are rapidly drifting to the age Of
the eternal feminine when man will
be back number and forced to return
to the soil and to those fields of labor
where only his physical endurance will
save him in the struggle for survival"
In discussing the competitive life for
the leadership in society the speaker
said:
Society is dying out at the top. 1t is
crystal maze of glass houses, where
no occupant dares cast the first stone;
the dangerous example; the academy
of divorce. Society has mothers who
are slaves to the siren calls of fashion
and fashion, who look more often into
their mirrors than into the faces of
their children.
with a fashionable mother gadding
about at social functions, and fash
ionable father at his club, the result
will be that within decade the ques-
ton of the neglected children of the
rich will become as great social
problem as that of the neglected chill
dren of the Door"

One or two local friends that were

the pair and offered their congratula-

of the party were driven to the Bal

The optimism of the aged financier

that Missouri Pacific, if not destined
to sell at 200 in Sage's lifetime, will
at least go much higher than it now
is.

IMMIGRANTS FLOOD IOWA.
Census Shows North is Largely For.

Des Moines, Aug. IT, = The immi.
grants who make for Iowa go mostly
to the northern part of the state. Al
least this is indicated by the state cen
sus returns now being compiled at the
state house.
For instance, in one township in
Madison county examined yesterday,
there is not single woman more than
As years of age who was either for
eign born or born of foreign parents,
while in Plymouth county there are
but 1,750 natives over As years of age
and this includes these born of foreign
parents, while 2,162 were actually for
eign born themselves.
The Germans have been said to set
tie largely in the eastern part of the
state, but the census returns seem
rather to indicate that they are set
ting in the northern part of the state
which, also gets most of the Scandi-
navian people.
These studies are very interesting
and are being worked out in detail by
the bureau, SO that the per cent of
foreign born population may be dis

NEGROES TO FORM NEW COLONY.
Would Move to South Dakota to Form
Community.

Des Moines, Aug. ia negro col.
ony planted in the heart of the fertile
fields of South Dakota, the city ad-
ministration, the citizens, and every
one connected with the place negro,
is the project now under considera-
ton among the negroes of Des Moines.
at the instigation of B. P. Blair, col
ored man of Sully county, S. D., who
has been in the city lately with the in
tention of interesting Iowa negroes in
the scheme.
For over twenty years Mr.. Blair,
land from the government, has been
the only negro in Sully county, living
on his large farm, becoming wealthy
from the sale of his agricultural
products. For a number of years he
has been making plans for the coloni-
cation of the country in the vicinity
Of his farm by importing thousands
Of respectable negroes, preferably Sc
lected from Iowa, who, by combining
their efforts in community of inter
ests, will be enabled to prosper more
than they possibly could in the aver.
age American city. Owing to the fact
that Des Moines possesses a larger
negro population than any other city
in the neighborhood of this new terri.
tory, and as he has a number of
friends and relatives here, Mr.. Blair
hit upon this city as being the most
favorable community in which to agi-
tate his scheme.
Confer in Des Mones.
While in Des Moines Mr. Blair was
in conference with the most promi-
nent negroes in the state, spending
three days in going over his plans, ex-
planning the nature of the country and
proposing methods for disposing of To-
cal property by transferring it for real
estate in Sully county, S. D. Sully
county is bounded on the east by the
Missouri river, a large bend in this
stream being selected as site for the
proposed town. At an approximate
cost of from $3.50 an acre upward the
land in this vicinity, which is as fer
tile as any in the state, can be bought.
BY exercising due care in his selec-
ton of members Of the new commun-
ity, Mr.. Blair believes that in the
course of few years prosperous
town of several thousand Inhabitants
can be built up All the business in
the town will be placed in the hands
OF negroes. The mayor and other city
officials, editor of the newspaper and
the managers of the various indus
tries belonging to this race. 1t is not
the intention of the originators of the
movement to place any prohibition
upon the coming of white settlers. the
expectation being that the negroes
will be in sufficient majority to keep
the city control in their own hands.
Big Expectation Planned.
Should the project be seriously
taken up by the Des Moines coloret
population it is extremely probable
that several hundred from this cit.
alone will emigrate to South Dakota
1t has been stated that special induce
ments will be offered to men skilled
in the different trades. No invita-
tons will be issued to men who ar,
!, not hard workers in their special lin
of business.
In view of the fact that colony o
this nature would be the only one il
!, existence north of Dixie, it is reason
liable to suppose that in time the tow
