big chew when it went into this en-

part of this land is covered with
weeds and brush and some timber.
We noted, too, that the state is now
cutting its wood and fence posts
there. A big job is ahead yet to
make over all of this rough land into

BOUNTY AIDS
TROOP GETTING
Brisk Movement Of Soldiers Follow
ed When Counties Gave Money
to Men Who
Fought.

When various counties and cities
began offering bounties for recruits
during the summer of 81, there was
a brisk movement of men from one
county to another, according to State
Historical society's literature
Citizens of Anamosa county offer
ed thirty-five dollars to every man
who enlisted in company in tina
county. sClinton county was anxious
to get it's share of recruits and the
supervisors of that county boosted
the bounty to SIS to all resident
volunteers. Iohnson's bounty was
$50 and by December, 81, the county
had spent $43,3T5 for recruits.
Although enlistments in Iowa eX-
ceeded the quotas requested during
the second year of the war. the trou-
BILE Embossed by the system of local
bounties resulted in considerable
embarrassment, because men rushed
to the colors in the cities where
bounties were heaviest Consequent
ly. towns having the wealthiest citi-
zens got the most recruits, draining
ing credit for volunteers who lived
elsewhere. Later when the draft
was ordered, the rural districts and
the backward counties were com
PEELED to furnish men in place of
those for whom the district should
have received credit in this instance.
The biggest bounties for recruits
were paid in the spring and summer
of '63. The CONSUMPTION act of the
year previous allowed any drafted
man who paid three hundred dollars
Communication money to guarantee ex-
emption. Many took advantage of
this chance to escape military serv-
ice. Funds thus secured were used
in purchasing volunteers, raw re-
cruits brought $500 while volunteers
sometimes brought $500.

part are of more Importance to stu
dents of that science, there are some
that are of great general interest
particularly the petrified bones of ex-
tinct animals. The mastodon bones
prove that these mammoth pre-his-
Itoric animals were no myths of the
biologists. In this exhibit there is
mastodon tusk seven feet long and
ten inches in diameter and scapula
three feet long and eighteen inchs
wide.
The display of native snakes pre-
served in alcohol in glass jars is so
great that to look at them very long
would make a fellow think he had
been drinking bootleggers' whiskey.
The art department occupies more
room than any other. There are
many life size paintings of prominent
citizens, living and dead. and a null
ititude of smaller paintings. There
are also a large number of photo
graphs. Probably at this time there
lis no one of these that attracts more
attention than that of former State
Senator Jones, of Montgomery county.

telligent looking business man, and

The statuary is not.very extensive.
The most noticeable are pure white
busts of the late Governor Larrabee
and Mrs. Larrabee, also an heroic
bronze statue of the late Colonel
Dave Henderson.
Considerable space Is devoted to old
tools, implements and household uten
sils of many kinds brought by our
first settlers from the eastern states
or from over the sea.
One room is devoted to the wild
animals and fowls of the state before
the hunters made them, for the most
part, extinct. There Is stuffed
specimen of all or nearly all of them.
The most noticeable is group of BIZ
son-a bull, COW and small calf
The basement is well filled with old
vehicles and mounted guns. There is
an old, old stage coach, such as our
great grandfathers used to ride in. It
was called the two-horse 1erkey and

wheels nearly six feet in diameter
and as heavy as they are high. This
wagon alone would be load for an
ordinary team. The old guns there
displayed wouldn't scare the kaiser
very much. They bear evidence that
the improvements in the implements
of war have kept pace with the great
strides Of the machinery of peaceful
industries.
1t would require many columns in
this paper to describe all the inter
esting exhibits displayed in this
building, but only the most striking
ones are here briefly described.
