Hero of Black Hawk War.

Referring to the short sketch of the
Black Hawk war which appeared in the
columns Of this paper on yesterday, the

attention to the fact that the article in
question makes no mention whatever Of

responsible in marked degree for the
short life of that Indian strife AT the
time the Black Hawk war broke out. d"

may change, but the ability TO appre-

English joke does not appeal to the
American, and our witticisms are gem

Briton, the German, the Frenchman. and

which aids them along life's pathway

To-day is WhiJsunday. the third Of the
three greater festivals celebrated by the
Christian church. Tt commentaries the
descent of the Holy Ghost on the Apostles
when they were an with one accord i'm
one place after the ascension Of our
Lord and when they received the gift of
tongues. As this event occurred on the
day Of Pentecost Whit-unday is natural
ly associated with the great jewish fes-
uval held. as the name denotes. fifty
days after the feast Of mlcavcned bread.
II is a remarkable fact that iu the lam
guageS peculiar TO western Europe this
day seems to have no particular name,
and the English word "Whitsunday.' il

characteristics OF the early Roman cere-
monies of the day. This fact seems more
singular as Pentecost i'm medieval West

Iowa is a great farm. The drift Of
population Is from farm to city. Iowa
has not advanced in population since
1900. though Iowa il the richest piece OF
land on the globe, said Herbert Quick.
former mayor Of Sioux City and student
and writer on economic subjects.
The drift TO Che city shows I'D in
Iowa. because it is more than any other
state in the Union. except North Dakota,
an agricultural state. But the same ten
dency exists in the farming sections OF
all the States. and If the population OF
the farms Of the United States could be
known. as distinguished from the cities
and villages. it would be found that. ex-
cept in new and developing regions. tho
farming population Of the nation has not
increased.
Indeed, the situation Is worse thar
the census estimate in Iowa shows. FOR
Iowa has some cities. most Of which are
growing. Many towns and villages have
doubled in population since the last cen
sus. II the population Of the State has
either gone back or remained stationary.
The rural population must have actually
decreased, as the urban population has
increased. That this has occurred in the

IL VIII be found that many Of the best
counties Of Iowa are losing population"
continued Mr.. Quick. The same thing
is true Of Illinois. Indiana. Ohio au5
many other states. There are three
reasons for this tendency which SHOVE
up IN the Iowa returns. These reasons
are iandlordism. improved agriculture
machinery. and the existence of new arf
