WORTHY OF FLAG SHE CARRIED.
Historic Incident Participated In by
American Warship.

OF the old sloop of war St. Marys
now to be consigned in her sixty-fifth
year to the tender mercies of the auc-
tion, it is written that she bore no
conspicuous part in war in all her long
service. This may be true, but the
st. Mary's was once associated with
an event which is worthy of commem-
oration. Under the command of the
late Capt. Colvocoresses she was the
means, 40 or more years ago, of post
poning the bombardment of Valparaiso
by the Spanish feet. She was
anchored before the city, and the
Spanish admiral hinted that she was
in the line of fire. Capt. Colvocor-
esses remarked that he was perfectly
satisfied with his berth, and that while
the st. Mary's carried but 22 guns,
she represented navy that had 1900
guns at sea. Valparaiso was event
ually bombarded, but not while Capt.
Colvocoresses was present The pc
culiar name of the ship commemo-
rates an early colonial capital Of
Maryland. It was given in the same
spirit of historical association as was
illustrated by the jamestown and
the Plymouth. her sister ships.

Spanish War Flags.

Spanish War Flags.
Des Moines.-Flags carried by
seven of the eight Iowa organiza-
tons which participated in the
Spanish-American and Philippine
wars of 1S9S-1901 were presented to
the state on the 25th and on their
acceptance by Lieutenant Governor
Warren Garst on behalf of the peo-
pie of Iowa were placed in conspicu-
Gus cases located in the rotunda of
the main floor of the capitol for per-
manent display and perpetual safe
keeping.
The cases are adjacent to those in
which the flags of the civil war vet
Grams are displayed. Many of these
men attended the ceremony, which
recalled the exercises of Aug. 10,
1894, when their flags were present
ed to the state in the same way with
similar pledge of safekeeping and
proper display.
The exercises were held in the
rotunda of the main floor at the state
house and probably 1000 people wit
messed them. A small platform per-
mitted the display of the colors by
their bearers during the speechmak-
ing. The audience occupied seats be-
meath the great dome of the build
iLs. A bugle corps from the Second
cavalry OF the regular army sounded

when the soldiers appeared from the

nj. II. Byers, who was adjutant
general of the state when the Spanish
war broke out presided. He recalled
briefly the way in which the Iowa
boys We're ordered into the service
when the war broke out, the prompt
and efficient manner in which they
went into the field and the notably
proud record which they had made.

general, opened the exercises by in

The organizations were represented
as whole by Gen. James Rush Lin
coin in an eloquent address at the
opening of the exercises. He was
commandant of Camp Mckinley,
where the Iowa solalers were mobil-
lied, and was made brigadier gen.
eral. The different organizations
were represented in addresses giving
something of their work, as follows:

Two-cent Fare a Success.

Railroads doing business in Iowa
report that the effect of the 2-cent
fare is to increase passenger receipts
Five or six of the railroads have
reported for the year 1907 and of
these all but one report an increase
in passenger earnings and decrease
in freight earnings. The Wabash
alone did not show an increase in
passenger receipts. The Rock Island
showed an increase of 16 per cent,
and the Illinois Central, the Great
Western and others smaller increase.
The reports are for only half year
under the 2-cent fare, but are taken
to indicate that the 2-cent fare actu-
ally increased the total receipts
from passengers.

legislative tickets will be on the pri-
mary ballots of at least the leading
par, lies.
Twenty-nine state senators are to-
be elected this year. The republic
cans have candidates in every dis
trict and in many of them more than
enc. In nine OF the districts-which
are usually overwhelmingly republic
can-the democrats have not filed
nominations.
Of the los legislative places the re-
publicans filed nominations for all
but those in six counties, while the
democrats filed for all but seventeen
counties.
The republicans filed full cleo
toral ticket, the democrats omitted
but two districts, the prohibitionists
but three, and the socialists only
three districts.
The primary law provides that the
party conventions following the pri-
mary of June 2, and which will be
made up of delegates selected by
county conventions, the delegates to
which will be elected at the primary
of June 2, shall nominate candidates
to fill all vacancies.
But it is said that if voters write
in the names of candidates on pri-
mary ballot that is vacant, the per-
son so voted for will be the party
nominee unless he refuses to act In
that case the vacancy would be filled
by the appropriate county, district or
state convention.
The republicans failed to nominate
candidates for the house in Bremen,
Chickasaw, Crawford, Johnson Scott
and Shelby counties.
The democrats did not nominate
candidates for the house in Cass,

5000 Autos for Iowa.

Secretary W. c. Hayward on the
21st ran the total number of regis
tered motor vehicles in Iowa up be-
yond the 5000 mark and he says that
fully twenty machines coming under
that head are registered in the Sec
rotary of states office every day Of
the week.
The records show that nearly every
postoffice in the state is represented
in the list of motor vehicle owners
as they are recorded on the secretary
of states books. Many of the rural
postoffices or farmers living along
the rural routes are the possessors of
machines. The style and manufac-
turer are recorded and the books
show that the farmer in most in
stances has fully as fine an automC-
bile, electric buggy or other modern
vehicle as has his city neighbor.

Just about one divorce a day since
the March term opened is the show
ing made by the equity records at
the court house. There are still sew
eral days to run, and it is expected
that the total number for the term
will be something over fifty. This
number will exceed any number ever
granted at a previous term, it is
thought. But on the other hand there
have been more divorces refused this
term than in any previous term.
This is due to Judge Brennans policy
OF trying 10 erect recommendations
wherever it is possible to do so.
