people within the bounds of the
present state of Iowa in 1905, and
hence the territorial government es-
tablished in that year had but little
Importance in Iowa history. 1t was
not until thirty years later when
settlers began to flock into the Iowa
country after the close of the Black
Hawk war that the need of strong
local government was felt. In 1884
the Iowa country was attached to
the territory of Michigan for gov
ernmental purposes, but this ar
rangement soon proved ineffective
and unsatisfactory. And so, partly
through the efforts of George Wal
lace Jones, biography of whom
was recently published by the State
Historical Society of Iowa, the ter
ritory of Wisconsin was established
by an act which went into effect on
July 4, 1886. This territory included
not only what is now the state of
Wisconsin, but also the present states
of Iowa and Minnesota and parts of
North and South Dakota.
Two years later the population of
that part of the territory of WOs-
consin west of the Mississippi river
had increased to such an extent that
the territory of Iowa was created
by an act which went into effect on
July 4, 1888. This date may in a
sense be spoken of as the birthday
of Iowa, since it marks the establish
ment of the first effective govern
ment for the people Of this region.
For a time the seat of government
of the new territory remained at
Burlington, but with appropriate
ceremonies the corner stone of a cap
itol building was laid at Iowa City on
July 4, 1910, and soon thereafter Iowa
City became the capital of the terri
tory.

DENISON PEOPLE
SHOULD TRY THIS

P. A. Schlumberger states that any
one who has constipation, sour stom-
ach or gas on the stomach, should try
simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc.,
as compounded in Adler-i-ka, the new
German Appendices remedy. A SIN
GLE DOSE brings relief almost IN
STANTLY and Denison people arc sur
prised how QUICKLY it helps. This
simple remedy antisepticiSes the d.
gestive organs and draws OF the i'm
purities. P. 4. Schlumberger.

July Fourth in Iowa History.

The fourth day of July is a sig
nificant date in the history of Iowa.
1t was on July 4, 1905, that the gov
eminent of the territory of Louisi-
ana, which included the Iowa coun-
try, went into operation. On July
4, 1886, an act establishing the ter
ritory of Wisconsin went into effect.
Again, on July 4, 1888, the govern
ment of the territory of Iowa was
put into operation. Two years later,
on July 4, 1910, Governor Robert
Lpcas laid the corner stone of the
old stone capitol building at Iowa
City.
Aside from a few French traders
and trappers there were no white

WILL Be UNIQUE
Show to Be Staged by Trinity
Mems Organization Is
Departure.
REHEARSALS LOOK GOOD
Play Will Be a Hit as Best OF Tri-
City Talent Has Been Sc
cured to Take Parts.

The minstrel show which Trinity
Mems club of Trinity church is going
to stage at the Illinois theatre Feb.
Is will be something out of the ordi-
nary, and the rehearsals which are
now going on weekly indicate that it
will be a decided hit Some of the
very best talent in the three cities
has been obtained and the audience
can rest assured Of getting its full
moneys worth. Ordinarily a home
talent show for benefit purposes aims
to take up about two and a half hours
of its auditors time, 1t being under
stood that the price of the seats was
a donation. 1t is the aim of the COM
mittee in charge of Trinity minstrels
to make the show the attraction and
not the fact that benefit goes with it.
HAVE GOOD FUNMAKERs.
The end men of the cast include
such we'll known funmakers as Billy
Mcintyre, Bill Toal, Charles Roantree,
! Charles Golf, Harry Green, the latter
of Moline, and Charles Imhof, former
Iy of this city and now of Davenport.
The chorus is composed of good sing
ers nicely balanced.
Orville b. Hampton, whose name
has been linked with practically ev-
cry home talent show of any conse-
Cuence that has been staged in this
city in recent years, is not only to
act as interlocutor for the minstrel
but is also engaged in writing the
play itself. The minstrel will be en-
tirely out of the ordinary and will
contain much that is local.
SCENE IN CLUB ROOM.
The conventional minstrel setting
with circle of singers will not BIZ
seen at the Trinity performance. The
antiquated idea of a minstrel show
has been broken away from and thu
effect is pleasing. The scene is in ;
bachelor club room on Christmas ev,

bers. The funmakers will appear II
