RELICS OF COLONIAL DAYS

The meeting of the "Daughters OF
the American Revolution" Thurs
day afternoon in the handsome new
home of Mrs. H. A. Eames, proved
to be a most delightful one. The Ia
dies had been requested to bring
with them some relic of colonial
days or of other olden times, and the
antique curios which found their
way into this home Thursday were
many and varied.
The first part of the afternoon
was devoted to an interesting and
profitable program. Miss Charlotte
Crosley gave a talk on patriotic
Organ izations" and told her inter-
ested hearers that there were eighty
or more different patriotic organl-
cations in the United States-such
as the Grand Army of the Republic, |
Women's Relief Corp, Daughters OF
the American Revolution and Sons
of the Revolution. This talk was a
very interesting one. The ladies then
listened to Mrs. A. S. Burnell while
she told them "Just how our grand
mothers lived" and to Mrs. F. E.
Whitley who told "How our grand
mothers spent the Sabbath" These
talks were both appreciated greatly,
the ladies bringing in bits OF the
lives of Colonial folk, telling many
interesting incidents pertaining to|
colonial days along all sides of life
the serious and the hilarious
with many charming bits of sentl-
ment and also of the hardships and
suffering during the days of the Rev
dictionary war. Our grandmothers
patchwork" was told about in an en-
Pertaining manner by Mrs. Willard
A. Crandall and with having sol
much needle and patchwork of var
ious kinds to inspect, the guests
found the handiwork of their grand
mothers to be quite as fascinating as
are the tatting and embroideries Of
the present day. A piece of patch
work made by Betsy Ross daughter
was shown and greatly admired.
The guests then adjourned to the
sun room in this fine home, and
there found the numerous old
fashioned pieces spread out on
tables. There were saddle bags us
ed bv one of the brave and courag-
eous soldiers during the Revolution
ary war: a cane which was in use
long before the war; lock OF mar

Revolutionary girl who was draw
ing water from a well one day when
the Revolut ionary soldiers rode past.
One of the soldiers, upon seeing her
fell in love at first sight and dis
mounting, introduced himself, and
cut a piece of wood from tree,
making it into a cane. He gave this
to her as a keepsake. When the war
was ended this soldier was among
the living and came back to claim
the girl as his bride. The cane is

~ slt

the April election in 1858, the ques-
ton. shall the swamp lands be-
longing to Hamilton county be APP
propriated for the erection of coun-
ty buildings" was submitted to a
vote of the people.
There were 315 votes cast OF
which 246 were for the proposition
and 50 against.
Pursuant to this vote, Judge j. D.
Maxwell advertised for bids for the
| construction of court house 5OX7O
| feet on the ground, with the base
ment of cut stone and two stories
above of brick and let the contract
for building the same to Hyde and
Hoskins, contractors Of Des Moines.
Under the contract, the county was
not obliged to issue any warrants or
bonds in payment for the work until
the building was under roof.
On the 26th day of July, 1858,
ground was broken for the erection
of the building, and the work begun.
| 1t was carried forward with a spirit
of enterprise that betokened an early
completion. The people Of the
southern part of the county were OPP
posed to the erection of the build
| ing. They hoped to be able to re-
move the county seat to Saratoga.
| in, OH -taT
| City and the northern part OF the
county was almost unanimous in
favor of putting up building that
would forever settle the county seat
question in favor of Webster City. 1t
| is a notable fact that in a public
meeting largely attended, Judge
| Maxwell and B. Willard were the
| only ones who spoke in favor of a
cheap house for present purposes,
| leaving II to the people when the
county became more popuious to
build a large and costly court house.
| It was therefore only out Of defer
euce to the universal sentiment
about him that Judge Maxwell con-
santed to let a contract for such an
imDosing and costly structure.

was severely censured by many who
We're very anxious to see the work
go on and was attacked and abused
! in most shameful manner in the
Freeman by Granville Burkley-
| Judge Maxwell replied in a very
frank and gentlemanly way stating
the whole matter connected with the
court house just as it existed. Still
there were many who believed that
if the bonds were issued the work
| would go on and the house be finish
ed. AS those who find fault or have
a grievance always do the most talk
| ing, the Judge came in for rounds Of
! abuse on every street corner. Now
that the $4,000 in bonds that were
out were likely to be dead loss,
many begun to find fault with the
judge for issuing any bonds at all
| and yet took care not to commend
him for his refusal to Issue more.
Added to the hub-bub raised about
the court house bonds, the Freeman
began to accuse him of a lavish,
prodigal and unlawful expenditure
of the county funds in the way of
paying high salaries, to which the
judge answered defending his course.
The salaries of $500, to the judge,
treasurer, ETC., and certain payments
for deputies were complained of and
a fierce newspaper controversy re-
suited. and Judge Maxwell became
the most talked about, and "best
abused" man in the county. But he
held firm and work on the court
house was not resumed.
Though Judge Maxwell had been
in favor of cheap court house in
the beginning, after a basement had
been excavated and walled up and
the county had expended $4,000 up
on it, he became in favor of going
on with the work, that the money
expended should not be lost. There
seemed to be a general opinion in
favor of having the house finished If
any one could be found who would
take the contract and receive as pay
therefor, Hamilton county's interest
in the swamp lands. But the old
contract of Hyde and Hoskins stood
in the way. They had done no work
during the year 1859 and all at
tempts at a settlement with them
had failed Mr. Maxwell had not
been candidate for reelection and
it was strongly suspected that the
judge elect, Dr.. Corbin, of Homer
would oppose any further progress
towards completion of the court
house. The friends of that project,
therefore. were anxious that some
thing decisive should be done before
Mr.. Navel retired from Office. Z.

her right hand Saturday while
cleaning the stitching machine in

machine is run by electricity and the
power had not been turned off by
Miss Horn and Just as she ran the
dust Goth over the feeding board,
hrr foot accidentally touched the
clutch which threw on the power
and the machine took a neat little
wire stitch in the end of her finger.
The injury, however, is not a serious
one, though rather painful. The
finger was dressed Immediately and
will probably be all right in few
days.
