melted the ice on the river so as to
make it unsafe to cross. 1t registered

THE CONFEDERATE FLAGS,

The action of congress in voting to
return the Confederate battle flags
captured during the Civil war is in
line with the general sentiment that
now pervades the country. The sooner
the people of the United States forget
the bitter parts of the Civil war the
better it will be for both the north
and the south. The sooner we forget,
in fact, that there was a north and a
SOUTH the better.
Both the north and the south are
improving. Time has done it's part to-
ward making us forget and the inter
mingling of the people from both
sides Of the Mason and Dixon line has
also been powerful agent. Let the
Confederates have their flags. They
mean much more to them than they
do to the north. The north has the
victories and can well afford to let the
south have the memories. Few Of
these memories are pleasant but the
southerners are entitled to all that is
pleasant that they can get from the
war.
There has been a notable change In
the sentiment of northerners espe-
cfally during the past few years, and
IL hoo DCCu q CudASG lOT Iu6 DSIC6r.
Congress voted unanimously to re-
store the battle flags to the southern
states. Former Governor Foraker, of
Ohio, favored the action. But it was
none other than Foraker who, when
Cleveland was president, objected to
the chief executives suggestion that
the flags be returned. Yet 1t was For
aker who later introduced the bill pro-
viding that the government mark the
graves Of the Confederate soldiers
buried in the north. When opposing
the Cleveland idea Foraker said that
he did it, mot that have any affec-
ton for the dirty rags, but because
they are emblems of treason, and are
wanted for no other purpose than pub
lie parade, and to fire the southern
heart with pride for lost cause that
ought never to be recalled except with
shame, because the crime of the age"
But Foraker, along with the rest of
the country, is improving.
The action Of congress does not. Of

BULLOCK ON NEW YORK.

Seth Bullock doesn't like New York
Bullock was in Gotham for a few
days on his return to the Black Hills
country after having attended the in
auguration of President Roosevelt in
company with his detachment of cow
boys, ana In his breezy western style
he criticised the people of the Ameri-
can metropolis In a decidedly caustic
manner.
1t was not Seth's first visit to New
York, but evidently he had been saving
up hard things to say about the city
and thought a good time to unload was
after he had seen two men crowd q
woman out of dining car on the way
from Washington to New York. So
when a reporter asked him what he
thought Of New York Seth eyed him
carefully for minute and then said:
Now mind. know as well as you
that there are good people in New
York City. But, taken altogether, you
are the most provincial outfit in the
whole country. You've got so much,
you think you've got it all. You think
the Creator stopped work when he
filled the Hudson river with water and
all the rest of the country out beyond
just happened so. Nothing counts un-
less It is done in New York and by
New York except to laugh at.
Now, out in our country we know
New York is good town. We know
that the east is all right We know
we're all right, too. We think the
coast is pretty good grazing. We're
proud of the whole country. But New
York is proud Of itself and thinks the
rest Of the country in luck to be on the
same continent. I'm not speaking in
harshness or bitterness. But some
times think you miss a lot of the joy
of being Americans"
Seth uses rather strong language In
telling New York about itself, but in
a great many ways he is right New
York is the gateway to America, all
right, but that fact does not give New
Workers the right to assume that they
are the principal attractions of the
continent. 1t is evident, however, that
New York is improving in this way
When her people came to ST. Louis last
summer and found that they didn't
have to fight Indians on the streets
nor ride in birch bark canoes they be-
gan to realize that after all the west
does amount to something. The New
York papers, with their recently es-
tablished Chicago bureaus and their
better facilities for obtaining news
from the west. are barometers that
show that the sentiment of the public
is growing better.

course. affect the flags held by several
of the states. These can only be re-
turned by the state legislatures. Iowa
has several of these flags but 1t is
doubtful that they will ever be re.
turned to their former owners. The
Confederate flags held by this state
are as follows:
Rebel battle flag, supposed to have
been captured by George Rollett, Com
pany D, Seventh Iowa infantry, at
Corinth Miss.

pany A, Nineteenth Iowa infantry, at
Yazoo. Miss, and presented by j. T.
Chambers, who Is supposed to be
captor Of said flag.

ty-third Iowa infantry, July a, 1863. at
Helena, Ark, and represented by Col
onel G. H. Mackey.

CAPONs.

i. III
The production Of capons should 70
ceiye more attention than 1t does from
our poultrymen. Capons were quoted
on March / at IA cents per pound,
and the old ROSTERS, which they ard
the representatives CT, at 5 cents. The
capons will also weigh at least one
third more than the roosters and hava
been bringing the producers an aver
age of $1.25 apiece this winter. Tho
caponizing of the young birds is not
difficult task when once learned. The
Asiatic breeds, such as the Cochins,
Brahmas and the Rocks and the wy
andottes are the best breeds for this
purpose. Capons will bring in the
market almost as much as an average
turkey, and they are not half the both
er to raise.

A farmer in northern Iowa was very
DESTROYS of securing an outlet for the
water in pond hole on his farm, but
the only way in which this could be
done was by way Of his neighbours
land, who most vigorously opposed the
plan. A ditch or drain four rods in
length would do the work, but the pond
remained nuisance because of the
neighbours opposition. A muskrat
providing around took it into his head
to drain that pond and bored out the
drain, releasing the water, greatly to
the pleasure Of the owner and the pro-
found disgust of his neighbor

Some attention is being turned to
catch crops for their value as fertilizers
following crops Of small grains. Con-
siderable success is reported where soy
beans or cowpeas are sowed, disked in
on the stubble just as soon as the field
Is cleared and then plowed under be-
fore the frost destroys the crop. 1t
costs about So per acre to give land
this extra treatment, and the invest
ment is returned, with good interest,
in the crop Of the following year.
