IOWA HISTORY
IS RECALLED
Nearly $50 Years Ago That Black
ROBBED Priests Visited This

ROBBED Priests Visited This
Section.
Tho observance of Iowa day natur-
ally calls to mind the facts in the his
tory Of the commonwealth. DR.. Dan
e. Clark of the university Of Iowa Is
authority for the following:
It was nearly 250 years ago, in June
1878, that Marquette and Joliet. the
first white men in Iowa, visited an
Indian village near the mouth OF the
, Iowa river. It is this incident which
the poet Longfellow describes in "Hia-
watha." where he tells Of the visit
of the black-robed priest.
Then followed many decades during
which the red-skinned jewellers in the
Iowa land were undisturbed in their
hunting and fighting save by traders
and trappers who, in ever increasing
numbers, came among them in quest
of furs. Not until 1888 were the In
dams forced to yield ground to the on
coming wave of land-hungry pioneers.
During that year and the years that
followed, thousands of settlers poured
across the Mississippi to make homes
for themselves in the Iowa country.
In 1888 the territory Of Iowa was
established and by 1916 the popula-
ton had so greatly increased that
Iowa was admitted into the union as
a state. The seventy years which
have elapsed since that time have
witnessed a marvellous development.
Iowa City was the capital Of Iowa
from 1899 to 1857. The old stone
capitol on the campus justly deserves
to be called the finest monument to
the early history OF Iowa to be found
within the borders OF the state. In
this building the early governors had
their office, here the legislature held
It's sessions, here three constitutional
conventions convened. and here were
organized the early political parties
of the state. Then for several years
after the seat Of government was
moved to Des Moines in 1857 the old
capitol housed practically all Of the
Offices and class rooms Of the state
university

FREAK OF THE RECENT ELEo-
TON

A freakish reversal in the politi-
cal personnel of the next Colorado
general assembly as compared with
its immediate predecessor, is indi-
Gated by the official returns. Two
years ago the state senate was com
posed OF eighteen republicans and
seventeen democrats, while in the
house there were thirty-nine repub-
licans and twenty-six democrats.
giving republican majority of one
in the senate and thirteen in the
house. When the legislature meets
in January this situation will be
exactly reversed, there being eigh-
teen democrats in the senate and
seventeen republicans, while the
house will be composed of thirty
nine democrats and twenty-six re
publicans. In the 1914 election the
democrats lost the senate although
they had twelve hold-Over senator's.
This year the republicans had the
advantage of twelve hOld-over sena-
stOrs, yet they lost that body by
one, as the democrats did two years
ago. Indications now point to the
election Of Boone Best of KiOwa
county as speaker of the house by
the democrats.
