Iowa State Orphan Asylum. The peo-
pie thruout the state were asked to
donate funds for the new Institution
and soldiers In the field contributed
s45,262 from their meager earnings. A
home was opened during July, 1864, in
a rented building at Pennington in
Van Buren, county, and in September
an additional home was established at
Cedar Falls. In August, 1865, a fair
was held at Marshalitown in the in

moved to Davenport. In 1866 the Sol

mer has in effect, other things being equal, two rifiemen to the enemy's one. Hence to make two bullets fly where one flew before has been one of the main objects in gun design since organized fighters found more effective way to battle than the prim itive stage of throwing missiles at one another.
 The superiority claimed for the Am erican weapon is supported on three counts CD Quicker firing as result of bolt-handle design; CD easier and quicker sighting as a result of sight design; (3) greater accuracy of bullet flight as result of bullet design, and greater mechanical accuracy of cham Der and bore.
