Of the town. This they held during the
battle, their ,unerring shots telling fear
fully upon the Reds. At night these
brave men retreated to within the
barracks after setting the building on
fire.
Judge Charles E. Flandrau of St.
Peter, who had command of the whites
following the first days battle, has
written some interesting descriptions of
the fighting. Of the advance upon the
town on the last days battle he writes:
.''rhe advance upon the sloping prairie,
in the bright sunlight, was very fine
spectacle, and to such inexperienced
soldiers as we were, was intensely ex-
citing. When within about one mile
and half of us, the mass began to
expand like a fan, and increase in the
velocity of it's approach, and continued
this movement until within about double
rifle shot, when it covered our entire
front. Then the savages uttered a
terrific yell, and came down upon us like
the wind.'
New Ulm is Evacuated
Following the arrival of Cpat. E. S.
Cox of St. Peter, with $50 volunteers,
on the day following the last battle,
Judge Flandrau decided. after council
of officers, to evacuate the town, to take
the women, children, sick and wounded
to some place Of safety. They numbered
about:2 900 people.
.'."The expedition was perilous one, y
says Judge Flandrau, but the confined
state of the town was rapidly producing
disease among the women and children,
who were huddled in cellars and close
rooms, like sheep in cattle car. ]
feared the result of another attack.
The next morning the barricades were
broken and the wagons taken out and
put in motion. About a. m. we moved
from New Ulm, with $50 wagonloads
of women, children, sick and wounded
and large company on foot. Capt
Cox took the general disposition Of escort
and the various commands were posted
as best to protect the whole in case of an
attack. 1t was melancholy spectacle
to see 1000 people, who few days be-
fore, had been prosperous and happy,
reduced to utter beggary, starting upon a
journey of thirty miles, through a hostile
country, every inch of which we expected
to be called upon to defend from an
attack, the issue Of which was life OF
horrid butchery. Beggary, starvation
and probable destruction were at one
end of the road; doubtful escape from
the latter at the other. We took the
latter alternative, and under Providence
got through" ...,

Al JENNINGS, Ambition.

Sioux City Journal: AL Jennings,
former Oklahoma outlaw, now an
evangelist, who ran for the democratic
nomination for governor In 1914 and
was defeated, has announced his in
tention to run for the nomination in
1918. If Jennings wants to be COVER
nor because he thinks he would make
a good official, or because he believes
his services to his state entitle him
to it, there can be no reasonable OBJ
lection to his entering the race. II he
is running on the strength Of his no.
toriety as reformed outlaw, or be-
cause. being reformed outlaw and a
revivalist, his political activity may in
crease the demands for his services as
an evangelist, he would better stay
out.
That Jennings, after being a dad

the scriptural saying relative to the
rejoicing in heaven over the repent
ance Of sinners doesn't imply that the
repentance gives the former sinner a

pecially II number of just men who

KENNEDY'S GREAT AgIUMPH.

One of the greatest political and personal
triumphs recorded as result of the congress
sional elections Of Tuesday was the reelection
of Charles A. Kennedy of the first Iowa dis
trict, by majority of six thousand, two hun
dred and thlrty-two. This tribute to the
worth of the official services of Mr.. Kennedy
is a badge of honor fashioned out of the metal
Of appreciation, and was deserved For years
this congressman has represented the first
district with ability and faithfulness. AS rank
ing member of the house committee on rivers
and harbors he should properly be made it's
chairman provided, as now seems possible,
the republicans will be in a majority in that
body. Thus with an extension of activity in
territory that includes the great Mississippi
valley, Mr.. Kennedy will be in position to do
additional effective work for his immediate
constituents and the country at large.

What to Do for Eczema

Greasy salves and ointments should
not be applied if good clear skin is
wanted. From any druggist for Csc or
SLIGO for extra large size, get a bottle
of zemo. When applied as directed, it
effectively removes eczema, quickly
stops itching, and heals skin troubles,
also sores, burns, wounds and chafing.
It penetrates, cleanses and soothes.
Zemo is clean, dependable and mex
pensive, penetrating, antiseptic liquid.
Try it, as we believe nothing you have
ever used is as effective and satisfying.

Lowden and Harding.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The two big
figures that have come out Of the dust
and din and smoke of the political
battle, to take prominent place in the
view of the whole middle west, are
Frank o. Lowden and w. l.. Harding.
Both. Iowans. Both ran for the posi-
ton of governor of their respective
states. Both went out, talked to the
people to such degree. that they
ran far ahead of the presidential can
didate Mr. Harding was fought by
faction Of his own party, which had
enlisted a number of the papers and
other interests and it appears as il
that fight had done him more good
than harm. Mr.. L0wden was opposed
by the present incumbent, who Is gen.
erally conceded to be an astute poll
tician and a good governor OF his
state.
In the case OF both Lowden and
Harding, it is generally taken Tor
granted, that the governorship. while
by no means unimportant. is not the
end to which these men are tending,
the great goal toward which they are
moving, lies higher up. 1t Is place
in the United States senate, and al

she will have some excellent material
to offer.
1t may be asked. why these two
Iowans ran so agnificently. And the
answer may be found in another ques-
ton: why did Lincoln run SO well,
ocpac; IIv a flor tho "a st had sized him
up and had taken little stock in him 2"
Here are two men that sprung from
good stock. but grew up in poverty and
learned how to come up smiling.
To the end of his days, Lincoln never
forgot how the common people feel
and what they hope anu to what they
aspire. It is so with these two Iowans.
They went out among the people, and
everywhere they won friends, because
they knew the people, not by hearsay.
but because they were of these same
common people, who form the great
majority of both parties.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: 1t is hard to
make the average man believe In
these tales of marvellous prosperity,
when he has to pay double for every
thing that he needs and has had no
corresponding increase in his income.
1t may be possible to convince MIN
OF many other things, but when his
pocketbook Is touched in such a
manner, there is never doubt IN
his mind that There is something
rotten in the state of Denmark.

STEALING THEIR THUNDER.

It is real truth which Stephen Leacock hu-
morousy states in his lament over the status
in society of 1.-the professor when he says
that the professor is handicapped by an atil-
tv .'to only half do things The professor OF
English can teach students much about writ
ing and reading, but he cannot himself write a
.'best seller In science it is somewhat bet
ter with the professor who may find profitable
employment as a business expert, but III the
main the bulk of scientific investigation and
teaching is carried forward by men and wonl-
en- who do not share much of the profit which
science is bringing to business. The truth OF
the matter is there is profession which We do
not recognize in our modern estimates--tho
profession of scholarship. It is one of the old
est professions and one to which the world
owes most 1t provides the soil out of which
our progress grows and in which it is sus-
tanned. But as Mr. Leacock says, it is half
way business; when the scholar has furnished
the knowledge, someone else uses it and APP
pears above the surface of affairs as the real
genius.
