IOWANS FEARED
INDIANS THEN
During Civil War Days When People
Were Fighting tho Rebels,
People to North Had to
Deal With Red Man.

The period of the early sixties in
Iowa is SO dominated by activities
connected with the civil war, that
one forgets that the settlers of
Northwestern Iowa were living in
constant fear of an Indian outbreak
similar to that of the Spirit Lake
massacre.
According to an article published
by the State HISTORICAL society of
Iowa, some ten companies were or
ganized for protection OF the north
western border between the years
1857 and 1865. Among these were
the Spirit Lake relief expedition, the
Frontier Guards, John MitchelPs COM
pany of Iowa voluntees, Trips From
tier Guards, the Frontier Rangers,
the Sioux City cavalry company, and
the northern Iowa border brigade.
The organization of many OF these
companies was limiteo to special
emergencies.
A curious incident IN frontier pro-
lection is mentioned IN this article.
In 1860 the general assembly of
Iowa, impressed by the condition
along the border of the state, passed
a bill authorizing the governor to
cause to be enrolled company Of
minute men, in number not exceed
ing twelve" who were to meet any
threatened invasion of .Ihostile In
dams. Apparently this army was
rever entirely modified for the audi
tors report reveals the sum of only
STATS paid to the Army of protec-
ton for northwest Iowa"

alcoholic consumption has had a
beneficial result on the nation.
The German holds UP MS hands in
horror at the idea that America has
gone dry" He simply doesn't COM
prehend Nothing to drink? No, not
a thing. What are they thinking OF
in America? he asks.
On the other hand his own Stats
tics have proved to the German that
alcohol is a demon, destroying as 1T
goes.
While statistics are not available
for the entire war period, and there
are no figures for recent days, 1t
develops that in Prussia there were
in 1914 insanity cases numbering
6,146 due to alcohol, while the fig
ures kept dropping to 1917 when the
last accurate statistics were avail
able.
In 1915 alcoholic insanity cases
numbered 3,406; in 1916, 2,469 cases,
and in 1917, 1854 cases, while deaths
from alcoholism amounted as fol.
lows: 1914, 917; 1915. $50; 1916, III;
1917. 14S.
Suicide has been reported on the
increase in Germany, but figures are
lacking to prove this theory. Dur
ing the war, the government Kept no
statistics to show where self-destruc.
ton stood Since the revolution,
however, it is reported that many
middle-class people have been SUI
cides. This is said to be due to de-
spondoncy over Germany's future; to
the fact that some of these middle
class people have. seen their small
savings of years eaten up in the all
consuming drop Of the German
"yaluta;" and to general indiffer'
ence toward life, engendered by four
years Of war.
Suicides in Germany during 1913
numbered about $4,000 while they
dropped in 1914 by about 1000. At
the same time there appeared
smaller number Of cases of insanity
In the German asylums. For 1913,
there were 152.351 cases of insanity
in Prussia, while in 1914 there were
1889 cases; and this number
dropped in 1915 to 1889
Reyerting to the effect of alcohol
ism on the German vital statistics, 1t
may be pointed out that, during the
war. the German nation was shut of
from some of the stronger alcoholic
bevera es-"schnapps" TO which it

details for the staging OF this big
drive. This campaign is being
handled along similar fines in the
Northwestern, Pocahontas, eastern

There will be 1877 railroads, en-
nIoying nearly two million men and
onerating approximately 231 900 miles
n track. competing for first place in
ths drive 1t develops that the
roads in this region tthe central
westerly have, in the aggregate, APP
proximately 325,000 employees and
$4,000 miles of track. and that each
employe is going to be asked to in
dividually do his utmost during
period of fourteen days to keep from
being injured himself, or being the
cause of iniuring any others.
The eyes Of the world will be
upon the American railroads during
this campaign, for already favorable
attention and earnest inquiry has
been received by the United States
railroad administration from the
British and Japanese governments
regarding the success being accom-
plished by this intensified safety
work.
Personal injury records Of rail
roads under federal control for the
first seven months of 1919 as COM
pared with the corresponding period
of 1918 shows approximately 1900
fewer deaths and $4,000 fewer in
juries on our railroads.

1918. In competition with it was the
SO, built at Portsmouth in 1918.
The maximum speed developed by
the U-111 was 1873 knots, while the
SO made 147 knots. Submerged, the
U-111 made 7.8 knots and the SD
made 1874 The U-111 can cruise
$500 miles at II knots compared
with a radius Of 10000 miles at IL
knots of which the So is capable.
Both boats can carry twelve tor
pedoes. The U-111 mounts two A.

in accordance with the navy depart
ment's practice.
The U-111 is congested and comnli-

Much interest has been manifested
in the announcement of the appear
ance of the Neil O'Brien Minstrels at
the Grand Friday, matinee and night.
This organization now on its eighth
annual tour is promised as again
having an entire new production, and
while quite few of the old minstrel
favorites have been retained there
will be found a number OF comedians
and singers new to minstrelsy. Bert
Swor will make his temperance,
after spending two years in vaude-
vile, and will have an entirely new
line of jokes and songs. Davis
"Sugarfoot" Gaffney, the elongated
comedian and eccentric dancer who
made such a hit last season will be
seen in new dances. Ollie Debrow,
Bobby Gossans and H. f. Quinn are
certain to be favorites after their
first appearance. Miller and Strong
will have new comedy acrobatic
dance to offer, that Is said to be an
innovation in that line. Major Nowak,
the worlds smallest comedian, will
again be in evidence. The singing
has been made a strong feature in
this seasons production, as no less
thar twelve notable soloists have
been secured.

went down from above four percent
alcohol to about one percent or less.
The German resents the idea of
prohibition as an infringement on
personal liberty" and says that it
will never come here. But, it is to
be noted that only few days ago a
prohibition gathering assembled in
Berlin, and favored the introduction
of this system here.
