Was Honored Today at Ma
quoketa, Iowa.
(Herald Specially

Maquoketa, Ia, Sept. 22.-The mem
ory of Ansel Briggs, Iowa's first gov
ernor and whose name is insperably
interviewer with the early history of
the state, was honored today in the
unwilling of monument in the little
Andrew cemetery, north of this place,
where his remains were recently

County Historical Society and were

Ansel Briggs was governor of Iowa
from 1916 to 1850. He was native
of Vermont, but as young man he
removed with his parents to Ohio. In
that state he became interested in
establishing and operating stage lines.
In 1886 he removed from Ohio to
Jackson county, Iowa, where he con-
tinued to interest himself in stage
lines. During the territorial period
he held number of contracts for car
rying the United States mail in Iowa
In 1912 he was elected to the house
of representatives of the Territory of
Iowa, and four years later he was
nominated by the democrats for the
office of governor of Iawo. His cleo
ton took place in October of the
same year. On December 8, 1916, he
was inaugurated as the first governor
of the state of Iowa. For some time
after the expiration of his term of of
flee he continued to reside in the
town of Andrew, but in 1870 he re-
moved to Council Bluffs. He died at |
the home of his son in Omaha, May 5,
1881, and was buried in that city. |
The last general assembly of Iowa
appropriated $1,000 for the removal of
Governor Briggs remains to his old
home in Andrew and for the erection
of a memorial over the grave.

WAS THOUGHT DEAD
MOTHER FINDS SON STILL AMONG
 LIVING.
Young Lad MysteriOusiy Leaves Home and Is Found Only Through Medium of COuatry
 Newspnpers,

Alexander City. Oct. 11--(Special.)-- Moses Thomas, the son of MT. and Mrs. George Thomas, of this city, who went away fr0n his home in this town in March, 1907, and who had been given up as long since dead. has been found and his mothers heart is glad.
 One evening early in March, 1907, this lad of 16 summers. went away from home without one word of warn ing or unpleasant family relations as @ cause of his act. He was last seen riding on the large gray horse which his father had presented him and which he called his own. That night at the usual hour, as he did not return to the family circle, search was made for fear he had met violence from the horse. No trace for days and weeks could be had of him or of the animal. and many newspapers carried calls for his iden- tity for many weeks without word of hope.
 About a month and a half after his departure a woman near Williamsport, Tenn. seeing the ad of the lost boy in a paper. wrote the mother that a hoy and horse of the description giv- en, had been in their vicinity for some weeks. The father went on the first train to the place and there found the horse. but the boy had gone.
 The last seen OI tIe DOy at w IlldiiiS- port, he is said to have obtained per- mission of a man to use his row boat to go down the Duck River to the Ten nessee River. He rode to the river landing on his horse. hitched him to one of the piers of the bridge, and was never heard from again. It was be- lieved that he was drowned in the riv- CT. A few weeks after this. dead boys body was found in the river bot toms above Guntersville where he had evidently drowned. After the body had been taken up and buried for some days, Mrs. Thomas heard of the find ing of the body and went there imme- diately, believing her boy had gotten ont into the Tennessee River from the mouth of the Duck. and was on his way to Decatur, near which point at Athens he had relatives. She had the grave opened and the body was eX- humed. She finally decided that it was not her boy and returned home In sad despondence.
 With a knowledge of her boys char acter from childhood, she finally decid- ed that If the boy was living he was trying to hide himself Tn the remote farming section somewhere In the South. She thereupon put an ad in some farming bulletin which reaches the farmers in the remote country pre- cincts.
 Recently man who resides at Cuba Landing, on the Tennessee River. in Tennessee. wrote her that her boy. as described in the ad.. had been with him ever since March. 1907.
 The mother did not wait to write, but took the first outgoing train for Ten nessee On reaching Waverly' Tenn she drove twenty-two miles to reach her destination. On arriving there she found the boy, who had been given up for dead. hale and doing well.
 They are now in Birmingham. en route to Alexander City. No trace or exclamation of why the boy left the home of his parents Is given.

Mobile Man Speaks Against The
 Amendment.
 Greenvilie. Oct. --(SpeciaD-H Thomas M. Stevens of Mobile ad- dressed an audience of 210 men here today.
 His argument. was in opposition to the amendment. He confined himself throughout on the two sections em- braced in the proposed chan~s of the organic law. devoting most of his time to the second section.
 MT. Stevens said he had voted for the adoption of the constitution, but realizing that it disfranchises so many people he would not now do so. citing as an example Clarke county. where only 25O voters had paid their poll taxes, out of voting population of over 2,0O0.
 Hon. D. M. Powell chairman of the anti-amendrnent forces introduced Mir. Stevens.
 Hon. R. A Lee chairman of the Prohibition League, introduced Hon. J. F. Thompson, who spoke here Satur- day, stating the address of the speaker would be the opening of the campaign in Butler county.

held that properly. 1t was not a thing for interference by the Congressmen. but inasmuch as determined efforts have been made to force them into the fight by one side or the other and other Congressmen are taking the stump, MT. Dent feels that he should speak his opposition on the stump as
 he has in private conversation.
 The nti-Saloon League. 1t will be recalled through @ circular signed by
 Rev Brooks Lawrence, It's superin- tendent. and sent to the voters of the Second District, attempted to defeat
 Mir. Dent for Congress because he
 would not sign an agreement to vote
 for the anti-shipping bill before Con-
 gress and endorsed by the Anti-Saloon
 League. Mir. Dent held that this bill
 was in contradiction to the Constitu-
 ton of the United States which pro- tected Interstate Commerce and he
 pointed to two reports of the Judiciary
 Committee of the Senate and House
 as sustaining his position. Recently
 Judge $. D. Weakley in explaining
 that no attempt is being made to en- ter the homes of Alabama takes the position of Mir. Dent that shipments | to the homes and to individuals are protected by the Federal Constitu- ton.
 Still. when Mir. Lawrence sent out his circular Mir. Dent was opposed by
 most of the ardent prohibitionists in his district. But he went after MT. Lawrence. even as MT. Lawrence had gone after him and it is said with
 out contradiction that Mir. Lawrence's circular and the aggressive return | fight by MT. Dent elected him, when it appeared previously that sentiment had been against him. Mir. Dent is an
 orator and his speech will on this question, be looked forward to by great many.
 The meeting will be well advertised and attempt will be made to get out a large attendance from the country portions of the county. The announce ment that Dent and Willett are to speak will be sufficient to bring out large audience from the city. An
 organization covering every beat in the county will be made. The oppo-
 sition to the amendment will make
 an aggressive fight to cut down the
 pro- o-amendment vote in this county.
