PREDICTS NEW REFORMATION
Greater Than Those Of the Past, Prof
Schmidt Tells Ethical Culfure Folks.

Speaking before the Ethical Culture
Association, in the Rose Room Of the
Hotel du Pont yesterday afternoon,
Professor Nathaniel Schmidt. Of the
Department Of Oriental Languages Of
Cornell University, predicted the reform
alton OF the world and that the changes to
follow will be far greater than those in
the past. The topic Of his address was
Martin Luther and the New Reformation
instead of ."Tbe Society Of Nations"
scheduled Tor yesterday, which was
postponed until future date.
Turning to the changes incident to the
present war, Professor Schmidt empha-
sized the importance Of the "rumblng
OF the new regime, as heard from Russia,
from Germany and Austria Hungary,
and even in the democracies Of England
and France.

HIGHER POSTAGE IN EFFECT.
Newspapers Have o Pay on Adver-
tising Space and heading Matter. "A

A new ruling went into effect on
July first that has brought lots of
joy(?) to the newspapers of the
co ntry. The department has in
creased the postage on second class
matter from the old rate of one
cent per pound to one and one-fourth
for the frs. zone. There are eight
zones and the rate is little higher
in all the zones, with the exception OF
the first two. On July 1st next year
they will be increased again and each
year up to 1921, when the final rate
will be 2 cents in the first zone up
to 10 cents in the eighth zone. An
example of the charge is for instance
IL there are seven subscribers living
in the sixth zone, and the seven pa
pers weigh less than one pound, the
total postage charge for all seven
will be one cent. If there is but one
subscriber living in the sixth zone,
the postage on the paper will be one
cent. This means that it will cost
So cents to mail that paper to the
subscriber.
The total number of column inches
of advertising in each issue must be
figured up, and the postmaster ad-
vised of the percentage OF reading
matter and of advertising contained
in each issue.
Well, we spent several days zoning
up our list last week, and If some OF
our readers received their paper a
little later than usual, they will know
the reason for the foregoing. We
have our list zoned in good shape
now and they will go to their des-
tination on time this week. The new
ruling means considerable extra ex-
pense to many newspapers.

Flag Raising at Franlxvil,e.

The Fourth was big day in
Frankville and large crowd was
present at the flag raising. DR.. Con-
over spoke, and our Frankville cor
respondent has the following to say
about the days program:
A large crowd attended the Flag
raising held here July 4th. Notwith-
standing the Threatening weather,
a grand parade was the first on the
program and was headed by Uncle
Sam, Aunt Columbia, a soldier boy,
(Ollert Krogsund) Red Cross
nurse and boy scouts on horse back,
followed by the Castalia band, the
V. l. S., Red Cross, w. C. T. u,
Sunday School, Cheese factory and
bank were all represented by ap-
propriate floats, the Rube band also
helped to furnish music for the oc-
casion After a picnic dinner the
program opened by several selec-
tions by the band. The flag was
then raised by Geo. Sherman an old
soldier who was attended by Ollert
Krogsund a soldier in the present
war. The men choir from the Nor
weigan church near Decorah sang
several songs. The crowd then pro-
ceeded to the grounds back of the
Nj. Z. church where DR.. f. W. Con-
over of Decorah as speaker of the
day gave splendid patriotic
address. Music, songs, readings
were all enjoyed. A flag drill by
sixteen girls deserves special men
tion Tho dance in the evening was
not as well attended as expected on
account of the rain. The proceeds
from the dance and stands after ex-
penses were paid leaves the Village

NEGROES HANGED
AT CAMP DODGE
Paid the Death Penalty Last Friday
for Assault on Seventeen Year
Old White Girl on May "a.
WAS IOWA'S FIRST
MILITARY HANGING
All the Negro Soldiers Were Marched
Wellfo the Front of the GallOws
to Witness the Execution.

Crying out to heaven to have
mercy on their souls the three
Negroes found guilty of wantonly
assaulting a 17-year-old white girl
at the cantonment May "a, were
hanged at Camp Dodge Friday.
The entire Eighty,eighth divf-
sion and the 5000 Negroes in camp
were witnesses.
1t was Iowa's first military hang
ing.
The scene resembled huge
amphitheater In the center We're
the gallows. On every side were
banked tier after tier of soldiers.
The Negro troops were marched
we'll to the front. 1t was pitiful
to see them.
Some had not had wink Of
sleep since they were told July 4 they
would be compelled to witness the
hanging.
Promptly at o'clock the con-
demned prisoners arrived in am
bulance No. 13.
They We're taken in an adjacent
building, where the death warrant
was read.
All were strapping big fellows.
Then began the death march of
probably. eighty rods through lines
of troops. The prisoners never fall
tered.
Col. ]. P. Harbeson led.
On either side of the prisoners
was an armed guard.
AS the scaffold was approached
"God save my SOUL" rent the
death like silence.
Have mercy and "Oh, Lord
save me-"
The cries of the condemned men
echoed and re-echoed.
Soon the shrieks of Negro soldiers
unwilling and terrified spectators,
driven into a hysterical state, added
to the sickening scene.
1t was terrible. There was no
connection. Feinting and frantic
Negroes werb promptly carried to
the rear.
One who had lost mental con-
troll ran straight for the gallows.
The condemned men had reached
the gallows. The high platform
was reached One had to be pushed
forward onto the trap.
They were still crying 70 God to
save them.
Then strong men shut their eyes.
There was a click as the trap fell.
The assault on white girl had
been expiated.

13O WINNESH|EK men
FOR JULY y CALL
This Call Will Not Exhaust Class One
Men in Winneshiek. Will
BE Few Left.
WINNESHIEK MEN GO TO
CAMP GORDON, GEORGIA
Total Number of Men Furnished by
Iowa Under Specific Calls Dur
ing July is 22,965.

With the sending of 1907 men
under the last two calls to Camp
Pike and Camp Gordon. the State
of Iowa will have furnished all the
men called for in the third call,
and with the addition of 3.265 men
for Camp Forrest on July 20, will
have sent out the largest total of
national army soldiers for any one
month since the war besan.
The quotas of men to be fur
nished by the different local dis
tricts of Iowa to go to Camp Cor
don, Georgia, and Camp Pike, Ar
kansas, during the five day period
beginning July 22 were announced
yesterday by Adj. Gen. Guy E. Lo-
gan.
The total number of men to be
furnished under these two calls is
19,017, of which $3.50 will be sent
to Camp Gordon. The Winneshiek
men will go to Camp Gordon. How
ard county men will also go to Camp
Gordon.
1t is estimated by Adjutant Cen
eral Logan that there will still be
about 1000 men left in class One
in Iowa after these 1901 men have
gona to their respective camps.
This will be more than elpugh to
fill the call for 3,2f5 men who so
to Camp Forrest, Georgia, during
the three-day period beginning July
goth.
The total number of men that will
have been furnished by Iowa under
specific calls during the month Jf
July is 22,965 This is the largest
number yet furnished during any
one month. 1T is probable that the
calls during August Will exceed rhos.'
during July" said General Logan.
"The total number OF men called for
throughout the entire country for
July was 100000, while the all for
August is 100000. As to what Iowa's
quota for the month of August viii
be we cannot now tell, but it is safe
to say it will not be less than it was
in July"
As to just how many of the IL,
600 Iowans who registered on June
will classify as class l men, IT is
impossible 10 say at This lime. The
first estimate was around 900.
Some surprising things are develop
ing in connection with the classifica-
tion of these men, however. For in
stance, one of the local boards Of
Des Moines reports that it finds 90
per cent of it's June registrants
married, which would hardly be eX-
pected in view of the fact that none
OF them are over21 years OF age.
In many of these cases, however,
it is probable that the ruling per-
tanning to newlyweds will come into
operation, so that there will not be
so many deferred classifications on
account of marriage as there other
wise might be-.
