DRUG SHORTAGE IS
DUE TO BIG WAR
Germany is Peer Of Countries In

Affected.

mo country on the face of the
globe can compound chemicals as

1t is not so much the present price OF

won't be long until some lines are
completely consumed and more will
not be available
Continuing along the theme OF oe-
mand and supply, he said: 1.-THE drug
business is the same as any other IN
that the jobbers and wholesalers do
not keep a large stock on hand. In
many cases the jobbers had orders
placed with Germany and other war
ring nations for small supply by
each boat, the wholesaler bought the
same way and the retailer followed
suit, Inc QeCldrdtloH VI VOL SeaiAAo

Carbolic acid is manufactured en-
tirely in Germany. Some is put out
under American labels but the whole
supply comes from the kaiser's ccun-
trv and some is rebottled in the Unit
cd States. The price has Increased
400 per cent and bottle that cost

For a Great Christian

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.J
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Fears by
Americans Of a "hoIy war" In both
European and Asiatic Turkey with
rumors Of threatened attacks upon
all christians by MusseImen have
been transmitted to the state depars-
ment by Ambassador Morganthau
from constantinopIe, Secretary OF
State Bryan stated today.
Officials here refused to regard the
situation as serious but admitted that
Morganthau had said there appeared
to be some basis for the fears express
ed to him by American missionaries
The latter are afraid that the Mussel
men will take advantage of the gen.
eraI European war to attack Jews and
christians.
The cruisers Tennessee and North
Carolina, now engaged in the relief
Of Americans in Europe would be
available for service in the protection
Of christians in Turkey should a gen.
eral massacre be attempted, Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels said today. Sec
rotary Of State Bryan said he had
been informed by Ambassador Nor
eanthau Of alarm for the safety OF
christians in Turkey several days ago,
but the absence Of. dispatches from
Moraanthau since then has given the
state department confidence that the
danger IL passed.

THAT BIG FREEZE
CAUSES COMMENT
Morning Sun Man Says Story In Tho
Gate City Last Week Was
Correct All But
tho Date.
HE SAYS IT WAS AUG. 81
Remembers Distinctly Seeing Corn
Down and Frozen Over on
His Way to St.
Louis.
HE SAYS IT WAS AUG. 81

Some of the old-timers in this vi
entity are disputing Judge Hey
woods story Of the big freeze in 1863
in regards to the date of the event.
The story was published on August
II in The Gate City, that day being
said to have been the anniversary Of
the phenomena.
According to Morning Sun man
the date was August 81, and not Aug
ust II. He corroborates the story in
its other particulars but differs on
the date of its happening as the fol-
lowing from the Burlington Hawk
Eye would Indicate. The story is on
the editorial page of the Hawk-Eye
and follows:
In a recent issue of the Hawk-Eye
was reprinted from q Keokuk paper
a statement by a. correspondent that
on August II, 1863, the weather turn
formed on the ground and corn was
frozen. Mr.. Elliott Frazier, a veteran
Of the civil war, and resident OF
Morning Sun, claims an error as to
the date. He was home on furlough
at the time, from service in an Iowa
battery, and is able to fix the date
OF the freeze-up by the expiration Of
his furlough. The ice formed in the
night Of August 81. Mr.. Frazier left
Morning Sun early in the morning Of
September LIST, coming by wagon to
Burlington, where he took a steamer
for ST. Louis. He saw the ice and
frozen corn, not only during his ride
to Burlington, but its effect could be
noticed from the steamer in the con-
dition Of the corn between Burlington
and st. Louis.
The Nauvoo Rustler says an old
timer from that town says that there
was only a frost in August that year.
and no freeze. Perhaps the Illinois
side Of the river didn't get the cold
like the Iowa side did.

Random Sketches
Early Iowa Settlements.

There has been so much said and
written about the first settlement OF
Iowa, the trials and fluctuations and
the heroic courage in which they were
met by the pioneers and old settlers
that the subject has become an in
teresting study. On September %,
1898, we are told from a source of
authority, that Julien Dubuque, a
French citizen of : Prairie du Chen,
purchased from the Fox Indians a
tract of land, including the site of the
city afterwards founded and named
for him. This grant was subsequently
confirmed to Dubuque under the name
of the Mines Of Spain," by Baron
de Carondelet, the Spanish governor.
Dubuque continued to reside there
till his death, which occurred in 1910,
having with several creole Frenchmen
from Prairie du, Chen, continued to
work the mines before mentioned.
A few years later, about the year
1875, Louis Honore Eesson, noted in
connection with the old apple orchard,
once prominent point in this coun-
ty. situated just above Montrose,
having obtained permit" settled at
the head Of the Des Moines rapids on
the present site Of Montrose, where
he made improvements, and continued
to reside and trade with the Indians
for several years.
April 80, 1903, the Louisiana county
was ceded by France and passed to
the United States, but no government
was established or settlements made
for more than third of a century.
In June, $780,. Lucius H. Lang
worthy and others crossed the river
from Galena, ILL.,, with the view of
working the mines Of Dubuque. In
July following, Colonel, afterwards
President Taylor, commandant at the
old post at Prairie du Chen, then
Fort Crawford, with his son-in-law,
Lieutenant Jefferson Davis, later
president of the southern confeder-
acy, expelled the adventurous miners
across the river from the Indian ter.
ritory, this land not having yet been
opened to white settlers, SO that the
whites could effect no permanent set
tlement till the close of the Black
Hawk war Of 1892, which opened the
country to settlement June 1, 1888,
when Dubuque, Davenport and Bur
lington were occupied by permanent
settlers and Keokuk had few white
settlers.
In 1880, the Sac and Fox Indians,
by treaty, ceded all their lands east
of the Mississippi river to the United
States, but Black Hawk, a noted chief
of the Sacs or Saukies, refused his
assent and the depredations commit
ted by his band led to the famous
Black Hawk war, which was termin-
ated by the treaty of Rock Island Of
September, 1882, by which the In
dams were to give possession Of the
land known as the Black Hawk pur-
chase on June IS, of the following
year, 1888. By the close of this year
the settlements Of Dubuque, Daven-
port and Burlington contained from
one to three hundred persons and Keo-
kuk was a close fourth in the race,
all without any government except
that imposed by themselves. They
were each little democracy where
the people were indeed sovereigns,
and they appeared to enjoy their SOW
ereignty.
