HISTORY WRITTEN in BLOOD.

Now that the Duma has been dis.
solved, now that there is no longer
any necessity even to pretend, the
advocates of the policy of repression
have been given a free hand and the
history of Russia is being written in
blood" says A. Maurice Low, in the
October-December Forum. "The peo-
pie are ready for anything; the army
and navy are in state of almost
open mutiny; and the picked regi-
ments, the guards, and the other
corps d'elite, are no more to be relied
on than the conscripts whose bar
racks are placarded with seditious
proclamations. When at a great
state function the Gear is nearly kill
ed by a shot from a battery of the
guards, when the Grand Duke Nicho-
las is nearly killed by men of the I'M
perial Guards, when with the conniv-
ance of the police a bomb-thrower is
permitted to enter the house of the
Prime Minister, when the murder of
governors and other high officials has
DCSOAhO oO AASquChI bhub liz" ALuA
der almost ceases to excite comment,
when the whole country is in state
of ferent and anarchy and almost CIV
il war prevails, 1t can be seen how
little dependence the Gear can place
on force. And yet this child in a
mans image, clinging with all the
stubbornness of an undisciplined child
to his determination to enforce his
will, encourages his creatures to re-
Eewed ferocity, and telegraphs the
Governor of Warsaw, who had es-
capped the assassin's bomb: DO not
be discouraged; be resolute in the
battle with insensate anarchy and
sedition.'
anarchy may be insensate; it is,
but it can hardly be more so than or
derby government that drives an en-
tire nation to anarchy and makes the
bomb and the bullet the weapon Of
the political reformer."

BIG IMPROVEMENT.
Hot Water Plant to Be Added to Ho-
tel Downing.

j. H. Hien is making another ex-
tensive Improvement to his Hotel
Downing that will add much to the
convenience and the equipment of the
place. He is installing a new Ke-
vance heater for the purpose of sup
plying hot water to the rooms of the
hotel, to the kitchen and the laundry
which he operates in connection with
the hotel. The new heater is capa-
BILE of furnishing six hundred gallons
of boiling water per hour which will
be sufficient to meet all demands that
may be made by the hotel for years
to come. The method of heating is
by direct application of fire instead
of by steam connection, as has been
the case heretofore. The method is
greatly to be desired over the old sys-
tenn and will give perfect satisfaction.

GYMNASIUM
AN ASSURED FACT
LAST DOLLAR OF NECESSARY
FUNDS is SUBSCRIBED.
WILL BE BUILT IMMEDIATELY.
The Celebration of Birth of the Great
Quaker is Made a Most Memoir
able Occasion For the
College.

Penn college today had its fourth
annual celebration and observance of
the anniversary of the birth of Will
liam Penn, the great leader for whom
the school is named. The celebration
was largely attended, all students OF
the institution and many friends and
patrons assembling at the college
chapel at nine-forty-five o'clock, the
chapel hour. The occasion was mem
orable in many ways, but the thing
that will be longest remembered as
noteworthy of the day was the culmi-
nation of the raising of ten thousand
dollars for the builaIng of the new
gymnasium for the college. The
last dollar of the amount was pledged
during the meeting and the great i'm
provement was insured for the col
lege. OF the fifteen hundred dollars
that has been wanting during num-
Der of weeks, the Athletic Association
of the college has pledged one thous
and dollars. The remaining five hun
bred dollars was taken in smaller
amounts in pledges and the greater
amount was raised at the chapel The
announcement that the amount had
been raised was the signal for general
congratulations. 1t is understood
that work upon the new edifice will
be commenced Immediately and that
ground for the foundation will be
broken within a few days.

of Congregational church.
The celebration was regarded as
the most successful yet held under
the direction of the college manage
ment and the fact that it has marked
new epoch in the progress and the
development of the institution def
nitely fixes the day as one for perma-
nent celebration by the school.
The meeting was turned into So
cial following the program for gen.
eral congratulation and it was defined
by the expression of the utmost good
feeling that portends still better
things for the school in the future.

ELECTION I'M ALASKA.

The official figures of the first cleo
ton ever held in Alaska under an act
of congress give 4643 votes for Frank
H. Whaskey for delegate to congress
for the remainder Of the present term,
and 4342 votes for Thomas Gale for
delegate to the congress which is to
be elected in 1906, and which will
serve in 10000. The election was
held on August IA, 1906, but in that
region of magnificent distances and
of absence Of means of quick COM
munieation long time elapsed before
the result of the voting was definitely
learned. These personages, when
they enter the house in their respect
i've terms, will be objects of good deal
of interest to the representatives of
the rest Of the country.
1t is rather interesting circum-
stance that the man who is to repre-
sent Alaska in the short session of the
present congress, and the one chosen
to serve for the ensuing two years,
are both Independents. The republi.
can and the democratic organization
in the territory each nominated a can
didate. The masses of the voters,
however, ignored them. Each of the
Independents got more votes than the
republican and the democrat COM
bined. No politics, as the term is un-
derstood in the states, was seen in
Alaska's first election. The success
full candidates are miners, which is
not strange, for mining is the terri
tory's largest interest.
After being under the flag for thir--
ty-nine years, Alaska is at last to
have the rudiments of self-govern-
ment. 1t is not yet advanced to the
full territorial stage. 1t lacks some
homa, Arizona and New Mexico.
These, however, will soon be granted.
Unhappily, the white population of
the territory is small. The aggre-
gate vote was in the neighborhood OF
100, and as the adult males necessar-
lily form large proportion of the in
habitants of an isolated country, the
estimate is that there are only about
$4,000 white people permanently re-
siding in Alaska This will hamper
the territory in it's social and political
ambitions, but as it will mine $4,000,
900 of gold in 1906, and furnish many
millions in fish, fur and other commod-
tiles, it has the resources which are
bound to win inhabitants when the
projected railways are finished.

In conversation the other day W.
R. Cowan made the voluntary re-
mark that the recorders Office in the
court house was at present being
kept in as fine condition as he had
ever known it to be. This remark
coming from a man who has been in
the abstract and real estate business
in Mahaska county for over twenty
years is fine endorsement Of the
services of the present incumbent of
the Office, Recorder U. G.. Deck.
Mr.. Cowan is not the only one who
appreciates the excellent condition of
the office, but all who have business
with the office will tell you the same
thing. Mr.. Deck gives the office his
entire attention, and keeps all rec
ords up to date. While following
strictly the letter of the law as re-
quired in his office he is obliging and
accommodating to the public, and is
always ready and willing to give his
time and advice in little things not
required of him, but which helps set
those not accustomed to business
forms Alright, and keep the records
clear and in way that is generally
appreciated.
Mr.. Deck has resided in the county
since the spring Of 1879, taking up his
residence in Madison township on the
"old Rothell farm" later removing to
the Stevenson farm in Harrison town

Spring Creek township. He then pur-
chased the Watkin Price farm in Gar
field township, which place he still
retains.
During his residence in the county
he has been an active party co-labor-
er. He has given time and effort to
the party support in the townships
wherein he has resided, and has been
found faithful on all occasions. He
has served in public office with credit
to himself and his constituency. He

APPLES GOING TO WASTE.
Owner of Orchard is Willing to Give
Them Away.

A business change has been brought
about in the Davis coal mine east OF
the city, whereby Ike Davis becomes
sole manager and operator Of the
mine. The mine is local enterprise
and supplies many customers in the
city with an excellent grade of fuel.
Mr.. Davis states that taking the mine
on his hands has given him more bus
mess to care for than he has bargain
ed for. He has been making siren
uous efforts to get his apple crop har-
vested and out of the way. His ORCH
ards have been heavy bearers this
season and an immense amount of
fruit remains unharyested. Mr.Davis
states that he is willing to make any
sort of an arrangement with parties
who are desirable of getting excellent
apples and will permit the right sort
of people to go into the orchard and
pick for themselves.

Mr.. Lambert was called for and he

pleased the people Immensely. He
said many good things that left those
who heard him in happy mood and
made him many new friends.
Elmer Tanner was over to Rose
Hill Monday night to hear Mr.. Lacey
and Elmer says it was one of the very
best speeches he ever heard Major
Lacey deliver, and his remarks we're
warmly and enthusiastically received.
Everyone over there is lined up for
Lacey. There seems to be no dissat-
isfaction from any quarter. This
district never had representative in

Lacey. Nor have his labors been con-
fined along partisan lines. He has
not stopped to enquire the politics of
anyone who has gone to him for as
sistance. If an old soldier wanted as
sistance in having his pension claims
looked after, all he had to do was to
notify the congressman from the
Sixth district and it was at once at
tended to. He has been essentially
the servant of the people without re-
gard to creed or political belief and
we are very much mistaken if he
does not reap the reward to which he
is justly entitled when the votes are
counted this fall. He has long ago
convinced the people of his reliability
and his fitness for the office and will
be great aid in rallying the voters
to the support of the entire republican
principles"

No less than fourteen colts by this

them were over six months Of age.
OF the fourteen, twelve were bay colts
and as handsome and likely fellows
as can be found anywhere.
The first prize was taken by Sig

son township, twice in Garfield; was
constable for five years in Garfield
township and was school director and
president of the board four years in
Garfield. These offices show the
character of the gentleman's public
service and the general esteem in
which he has been held among the
people with whom he has lived and
mingled. He has at all times been an
active and progressive man of the
day, industrious and enterprising, and
has prospered through his own eff
forts while assisting others.
Mr.. Deck, since his residence in the
county, has been constant employer
of labor. He has at times been en-.
gagged in the operation of local coal
mines and has always employed labor
on his farms. He nas been a progress
sive farm worker and was one of the
best known breeders of fancy Jersey
cattle and Poland China hogs in the
state of Iowa. He was president dur
ing two terms of the county organi-
cation of the American Jersey Cattle
Club. The widely diversified inter
ests of the man and his work in the
public service have, given him large
acquaintance about the county. He
is generally known on account of his
aggressiveness in the pursuit of his
duty in whatever direction it has been
found.
Mr.. Deck is a republican from the
backbone. He is the son of an ar
dent republican, who named two of
his boys for republican presidents.
He can boast of record of never hav-
ing missed a vote since twenty-one
years of age, and has missed but one
caucus in that time. He has been a
delegate to conventions times without
number and has given of his time and
personal effort in the interests of can
didates. He is a member of Com
mercial Lodge l. o. o. F. of this city,
and is also identified with Tri-Lumi-
mar Lodge A. f. & A. M. He is a
member of the Methodist church, and
identified with various other local or
CARNATIONS.
The reelection of Mr. U. G. Deck
to the Office of recorder would place
the Office in the hands of competent
business man whose knowledge of the
lands of the county and of business
methods is of greatest value in the
administration of county affairs.
