st. Petersburg, May 1.-THE hope

dent Of the lower house.
Prof. Mouromtseff returned to st.

emily much impressed by the emper.

Of the country. Though the radical
hotheads had been praying that Prof.
Mouromtseff would lay down the law
to the emperor and make scene, the
half hours conversation was skilful.
ly guided by the sovereign and the
parliamentary chief so that friction
was avoided.
To the constitutional democratic
members of the house, who awaited
his return from Peterhof at the Con-

phasis on the emperor's courtesy and

FOR DECORATION DAY.
Commander Harper Of Iowa G. A. r.
Issues Proclamation.

Senator S. H. Harper, commander
of the Iowa department of the Grand
Army of the Republic, has issued the
annual Memorial day proclamation, in
which he urges all patriotic citizens
to assist in the observance of We'd
nesday, May, 80. The proclamation
is as follows:
Comrades of the Grand ARM OF
the Republic, Department of Iowa:
Forty-one years have come and gone
since the last gun was fired in tie
great civil war. A new generation
has come upon the stage Of life since
then; generation who knew nothing
of the hardships. the sufferings, the
sacrifices of that fearful struggle: a
generation who knew nothing of the
heart rendings that parted husband
and wife, mother and son, brothe:
and sister, in that terrible contest
between the north and the south.
"a majority of those who partici.
pated in that struggle has crossed
the bar, has answered to taps. 1t
now becomes our loving duty to pay
tribute to their memory, by decorat-
ing their graves with flowers.
Il ask all patriotic citizens to assist
in this beautiful ceremony, on We'd
nesday, May 80. You will welcome
all auxiliary organizations, invite the
school children and secure speakers
who will teach lessons of patriotism
that will inspire the younger genera.
ton with a love of country and loyal
ty to the flag.
"The commander-in-chief orders
that President Lincoln's address at
Gettysburg be read at all Memorial
day services. Post commanders will
see that this is done.
"The commander-in-chief suggests
that in cemeteries where confederate
soldiers are buried, we should not
pass them by, but that we should
drop a flower upon their graves, not
in honor of their cause, but for the
reason that they were brave men and
gallant soldiers.
81 heartily concur in the suggestion
Of the commander.in.chief
SIS. H. Harper,
Department Commander"

years ago. We don't think anyone
will dispute us when we say Uncle
John was one of the best employees
the house ever had. Always on time,
always there, always ready and willing
to do his task and then help the 9TH
ers, he was universally liked by en-
ployer, associates and the travelling
public generally, and many Of the old
timers who still make the city will
surely miss him from about the house.

spelling and that of the present day.
In familiar correspondence many sim
Iplified forms are now used which
shock no ones nerves, and in the
most emotional poetry forms such as
dropt. slept, prest (Tennyson) are
printed without attracting attention.
So eminent body as the National Ed
vocational Association, of many thous-
and members, has deliberately select
ed number of simplified spellings to
be used in its printed documents, and
these spellings have been adopted by
many periodicals and by hundreds of
individuals. In fact, 1t Is probable
that If all English words were printed
tomorrow in the simpler forms which
they unquestionably will bear one
hundred years hence, 1t would take a
very little while for us to become &C
customed to them.
With the purpose of expediting this
natural process Of change which has
been going on for centuries, and, as
far as may be possible, of guiding In
the direction Of simplicity and econ
omy, an organization known as The
Simplified Spelling Board has been
formed, which will urge educated peo-
pie everywhere to aid in the gradual
simplification of English and thus
help to make the English more and
more easy to acquire and USE Plans
for campaign which will extend over
a number of years have been formed.
We quote at length from the circu-
lar because it states definitely and
quite fully the principal reasons for
simplified spelling and also for the
reason that we heartily endorse the
views and arguments stated. We may
give at later time the rules to be
observed in simplifying certain class
es Of words together with representa-
tive lists governed by the rules.

FROM COLORADO.
Abel Hicks Writes of His New Home
in the West.

La lara, Colo, May 4.-Before leav-
ing oskaloosa great many OF my
friends and acquaintance asked me
to tell them of this country, if / liked
it, and to tell them why I liked 1t.
1t would take too much time to write
letter to everyone, so thought it
best to write letter to the Herald,
so one would do for all.
like it here pretty well. We
bought 800 acres two and a half
miles from La lara, flourishing lit
tie town of about 600 inhabitants.
The first thing that struck me favor
ably was the abundance of good ar
tesian water, flowing from the wells.
They need no windmills in this part
of the country. They surely grow
small grains here. from the straw
stacks see. counted forty stacks,
all within space of two miles
square. They raise hogs and sheep
and feed them on peas, selling them
at premium above stock fed on
anything else. 1t seems strange to
see farmers feeding their hogs; they
fed the peas, vine, pod and all, and
the hogs seem to like it as well as
they do corn, and they fatten about
as fast.
1 see no reason why this land will
not come to the front. They nave
some advantages in this part Of Col
orado that they do not have in any
other irrigated district. They hardly
ever have to irrigate but once for a
crop of oats, wheat, barley or peas.
We are not restricted on the size of
an irrigated farm, as they are in
some parts of Colorado, and other ir-
rigated districts. find it here, as
in other irrigated districts, that there
are some good and some poor lands.
But you will find this to be true even
in good old Iowa.
have seen great deal of this
country since I came. Mr.. Cliff B.
West, in his auto, took us sixty miles
the first day, about As miles the next
day, and 40 miles the third day, near
ly all in different directions. / find a
great many Iowa, Illinois and Nebras-
ka people here, who lett the east to
obtain cheaper land.
The sugar beet industry is gaining
ground in this valley. Mr.. w. A.
Braiden, one of our capitalists, says
we will have have sugar beet fac
tory here in two years time. This
will be a great advantage to the val
ley and will certainly increase the
demand for land.
will tell you more about the crops
as they develop. The small grain
looks well now.
Yours sincerely,
Abel Hicks.
