KEEP INDIAN NAMES
GOOD MOVEMENT STARTED BY
THE STATE HISTORICAL DE-
PARTMENT.

Des Moines, Aug. 31.-How to pre-
serve the Indian names is a question
that is bothering Acting Curator Har-
Ian of the Historical Department, j.
ID. Edmundson, of this city, has CIV
en- a fine statue of Mahaska to the
people of Oskaloosa to be placed In
the city park there. 1t is the work
of Sherry Fry of this state and cap
tured gold medal in the Paris art
exhibition. Mr.. Edmundson is great
ly interested in the matter and main
tains that the indian names are not
only euphonious, but that the Indians
are an inseparable part of the history
of the state and because of the fact
that the Indians are fast disappear
ing and may become an extinct race
greater care should be taken in pre-
serving their names in the state.
Suggesta Good Method.
Mr.. Harlan believes that an excell-
ent method for preserving these names
would be to name the public parks of
the state after noted Indians. This
is particularly adapted to Des Moines
where the names of the parks present
pretty names. The principle parks
here are called Waveland Green
wood, South park, Grandview and I'm
ion park. They are names that are
not identified with anything in par
ticular. Many towns are named in the
same way.
1t may be that an attempt will be
made to get the names of some of the
Des Moines parks changed to those of
famous Indian chiefs and then adorn
such parks with statues of these chiefs
by famous artists.
Leaves Fathers Diary.
J. d. Edmundson, of this city, has
left with the state Historical Depart
ment diary written by his father
when he crossed the plains in 1850.
He left Oskaloosa May 20, 1850, and
Camped that night one mile west of
Fort Des Moines which would be
along the Racoon river at about goth
street. The diary is filled with import
ant historical matter. 1t took him six
months to travel to Oregon. Mr.. Har-
Ian is making an effort to get other
early settlers to leave such diaries
with the department as they are Or
iginal sources for historical informa-
ton.
Along with the diary Mr.. Edmund
son has left badge of the Wide
Awakes which he wore during the Lin
coin campaign. 1t is a red ribbon
bearing a cut of Abraham Lincoln.
Mrs. NJ. P. Turner, of this city, has
given to the department an oil paint,
ing of her late husband who was a
pioneer physician and built the first
street car line in the city.

BLUE SUNDAY IN
!. ATLANTIC CITY
EVERY SALOON AND HOTEL BAR
is CLOSED UP TIGHT.
RESULT OF FORTS THREAT
Liquor Sellers Heed the Governors
Warning, Though It Costs Them
About o,ooo-cafes Are
Deserted.

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 31.-A real
blue Sunday came to Atlantic City
Many persons familiar with the his
tory of this far-famed' resort had been
Inclined to doubt the possibility of
such thing, but everyone of the 220
saloons and hotel bars was closed
They were closed alike to bona fide
guests as well as to strangers, just
arrived within the gates.
1t is said that this was tho fourth
time in the 81 years of it's existence
that drinkless day had been expert
enced in Atlantic City. A bulletin
posted at police headquarters Sunday
afternoon stated:
Saloons all closed. No troops in
town"
Another bulletin, officially signed by
the chief of police, consisted of card
on which was printed:
IN 1861 it was hold the fort. To-
day it is Fort holds you"
Forts Threat Has Effect.
Gov. Forts proclamation containing
his threat to send troops to the sea
shore resort in the event of a further
violation of the Sunday closing law
had its effect. Saloonkeepers and no.
tel men reluctantly accepted the ad-
vice of the mayor and of the more con-
servative members of the saloon
mems organization, and closed their
places OF business as tightly as they
knew how. Screens came eumbling
down Saturday midnight and remained
down all day.
Boardwalk cafes that on Sundays
past have been thronged to their ut
mos, capacity serving liquors and
food were all but deserted. A visit
during the height of the afternoon
crush on the boardwalk to one of the
most widely-known cafes facing the
famous seaside thoroughfare disclosed
the fact that not a single patron was
in the place. The proprietors de-
clared that the loss of the drink priv
ilege had carried with it a nearly
equal loss in the sale of foodstuffs.
Smaller Crowd of Visitors.
There was a decided decrease in the
size of the visiting throng, though
many persons came from Philadelphia
and New York out Of sheer curiosity
to see what Atlantic City, the play.
ground of the cities, looked like on a
dry Sunday. The weather was well
nigh ideal and ordinarily, the inn
keepers declared, they would have had
their facilities taxed to handle the
crowd. The closing down of the sa-
looms undoubtedly kept away many
thousands of regular Sunday visitors
from nearby places. The majority of
the boardwalk multitude here, how
ever, seemed not to mind the change
of conditions and enjoyed themselves
in other ways.
A spokesman for the affected liquor
interests, and one of the local political
leaders declared that the loss from
closing would amount approximately
to $150,000. He declared that the sa-
looms would close every Sunday here
after until some warrant of law will
permit of their, remaining open. I'VE
will appeal to the legislature when it
meets in January, and have hope of
securing some sort of relief" he said.

August Was Hot.

The month OF August retained its
old time reputation in this locality and
1t went out with the thermometer soar
ing in the neighborhood of the nine
ties. Sunday was an exceedingly un
comfortable day, hot and oppressive
and Monday was little better. Those
weather wise, state that September
will have an extended term of abnor
mally hot warm weather.

WRONG BOSS CALLED
UNlNTENTIONAL JOKE ON
ALLEN AT 2 A. M.

"The boss wants you. There is an engine
in the hole" was the announceenent Super
%intendent of Sewers James Everett Allen
Of South Orange, received when he was
awakened and went to the door of his
house in Roland avenue, that village,
about 2 o'clock this morning in answer to
knocks. The man waited at the door
till Mr.. Allen dressed, and then accom-
panied him in the direction of the Lacka-
wanna roundhoIse Mt South Orange. MIR.
Allen thought William Torrey Baird,
chairman of the South Orange sewer com
mittee, had sent the man or account of
some engine or roller falling in a manhoIe
of the sewer.
When Mr.. Allen reached the roundhouse
he discovered that George MCGEE, his
next-door neighbor, who is day foreman

The messenger had knocked at the wrong
door.
Locomotive No. 1858 had packed into the
thrntable pit out of the roundhouse, and
as u result five other locomotives were
tied up in the r~oundhouse. A leaky
throttle caused the locomotive to back into
the pit. MCGEE was wanted to help the
night man in charge at the roundhouse
to get the engine out of the pit. 1t was
necessary to send for the wrecking crew,
and, after several hours work, the loco
motive was hoisted back on the rails.
Mr.. Allen, angry at his cold walk. did
not care whether the engine was gotten
out or not. He told roundhouse men SO,
and went home.

SUGGESTS WATER REFORMS
Orange Plant Reported in Good Condi-
t~ion-Figures for 1907.

Reforms were suggested by Frank x.
Schieman, water clerk of Orange. In his
annual report to the Common Council of
that city, last night. The official, who has
been diligent and successful In gathering
back water rents. favored a requirement
that Superintendent Isaac N. Travis, Of
the water department, give an annual re-
port, showing his expenses for the depart
ment in detail. MI. Schieman's suggestion
followed the figures showing the financial
figures of his department for the year, and
the data is of particular interest, owing
to the growth Of the department and the
plans for enlarging the system service,
which are rapidly nearing completion. An
ordinance was passed on final reading last
