Settlers Warned Against Investing In Louistana Swamp Lands. Hammoxs, La, Sept. 8.—To the Editor of Tne Bee: We, the unflersigned, are of the opinion that it would be both fair and desir- able to bring before the people of Iowa and adjoining states a word of advice and warn- ing respecting the methods of certain land colony schemes in the new south, especially in Louisiana and Mississiopi, whose projectors and principals are at this time especially active, through advertising, distribution of pamphlets and other methods, in inducing immigration through the me- dium of state fairs and other public gather ings, we .wish to state to all intcrested who might be induced to visit this country that the most of the representations made in the interest of several of these colonization schemes are founded on misrepresentations and with absolute intent to defraud to the uttormost such as lend ear to_their seductive statements, 1In overy instanco these colonized lands throughout Louisiana and Mississippi hava up to the date of their purchase for colonizing schemes by their projectors, who bought them at merely _nominal prices, been con- sidered worthless by tho natives ana have for many years remained as commons and devoted to geaeral pasturing purposes. Largo tracts of worthless lanas have been bought up by unscrupulous speculators at a few cents per acre and listed at §2 to $50 per acre, It will cost an aaditional sum of about £50 per acre to clear the land of roots and pine stumps and to fertilize it. A number of immigrants have already been swindled in this manner, and it is to prevent others from putting their money into theso schemes that the aboye s written.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—The controversy between Grand Commander Roome and the grand commandery of the state of Towa over the adoption of the new ritual is one of the most importaut questions that will come up before the approaching triennial conclave for action. The Iowa commandery declined to follow Grand Commander Roome's order for vhe adoption of the new ritual, on the ground that it was beyond his power to issue such an order; thereupon the grand commander deciared the Iowa knights to be in a state of disloyalty, and in- terdicting all tempiar intercourse with them. The lowa knights hbave made ar- raugements to attend the conclave next month, the grand recorders writing that from five 10 eight hundred would be present from that state. This com- 1ng to the knowledge of Grand Commander Roome, he notified the local commandery on arrangements for the parade toallow no lowa commande! in the procession. His order will be obeyed, and no pluce will be found for the Iowa knigh! ——— The Georgia Duel a Fizzle. BmwiNeiay, Ala, Seot. 8.—~W. W.

New YORK, Sept. 8.—Dr. Henry Menninger died at his residence in Brooklyn to-day after a brief illness that is direclly traceable to wounds received during the late war.

GreeNvILLE, Pa., Sept. 8~—The vestibule train on the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio rajlroad was wrecked to-day and one man was kiled and one injured, — - Foresters' Pienio, ‘The members of Court Eclipse lodge, No. 167, of the Independent Order of Foresters, and their friends enjoyed an afternoon at Pickard’s park, near West Lawn, yesterday. Before leaving, the members paraded the streets, Officer Frank Robbins acting as marshal and the A. O. H. band in the van, Arriving at the Waebster street depot, the first detachment loft at 12:3 p. m. for the picnic grounds. The second train left at 2:50 p. m. Pickard’s park proved un enjoyable piace. The cottonwood grove was put in readiness for the occasion with a profusion of seats and tables, liquid refreshm ents were served in unstinted quantities,and the pretty little dance hall was liberally patronized. Among the other features was a game of baseball in which Dr. Rosewater distingu- ished himself as a center ficlder. Mr. Wehrer, of the board of education, ‘was a participaut in the festivities, and with @ great green badge upon his breast, de- clared that he' was not only a Forester in nume but in fact, as he had béen brought up in the forest. Councilmen Lee and O'Con- nor were also presenl. The festivities lasted llrml 11 p. m., when the return trip was made, - The Dead Car Driver.

The roligious exercises were conducted by Rev. A. W. Clark, of Cal vary Hapuist chureh, of which the deceased has been s member. The discourse was both consoling and edifying. About tweuty of the associates of tho de- ceased who were enabled to lay of work were in attendance, ns well a8 a number of the neighbors, The pall bearers were H. Jensen, D. A.

All the Directors Wear Satisfled Sm les. CRESTON'S BLUE GRASS PALACE. The Litle Town Fairly Taken By Throngs of Visitors—A Bitter Senatorial Fight—The Pharmacy Law. Seni Om Sed's Reign, Drs Moixes, Ia., Sept. 8. —[Special to Tnr Bur.] —The success of the state fair is seen in the smiles of all the fair directors. 1t was one of the greatest financial successes in the history of Iowa fairs. For several years the experiment was tried of putting the fair on whoels and moving 1t about from city to city, the same as the suprome court used to be moved about, but the itinerant fair was never asuccess. No permanent improvements could bemade. The places selected usvally were not large enough to give the fair such local patronage as it needed, and the agricu! al society found itself in debt each year. ‘Then it was decided to come to the capital and make the fair a permanent institution here. The result has amply proved the wisdem of the decision. It has made money every year since the change was made. Des Moines being the largest city in the state, it gives it a large local patronage, whatever people out- side may do. Then its central location and unequaled railroad facilities make it more accessible than it would be anywhere else, and people from all over the state can come here and find other attractions besides the fair. Last year was regarded as a very fa- vorable time for the fair, as the weather was pleasaut all through it, but this year the at- tendance has been so much greater that the receipts are $10,000 larger than they ever have been before. Towa is eetting to be o great state for fairs, expositions and carmivals. The great display of King Seni Om Sed in_the streets of this city during the past week, surpassed expectations. It drew tons of thousands of people to the city and was a great advertise- ment for Des Motues and a_ groat assistance to the fair, The people seem to like to be treated by demonstrations that please the eye and ear. ‘The success of the Creston Blue Grass palace is also astonishing. The people of that busy little place have haraly recovered from their surprise, for the attendance weut way beyond their caleulations. This was the first yoar for the Hay palace, and Creston is only a small city, 80 that the success of the enter- prise is all the more remarkable. When the gates were opened there was a debv of £21,000 hanging over the undertaking. In the two weeks of the festival that debt was all wiped out, every cent of expenses was paid and there was a surplus of some #4,000 or §,000 in the treasury. The people of Creston will therefore make their Hay car- nival a permanent institution and Jave a finer and larger display next year, The Corn palace at Sioux City is the third conspicuous success 1n the oxposition line. It has also become an established feature and its display is more attractive each suc- ceeding year. So with the Hay palace in southwestern Towa, the carnival of Seni Om Sed and the state fair at Des Moines, and the Corn palace in northwestern Iowa, the peo- vle have a pretty good opportunity 'to be en- tertained in the festival line each year. A Bitter Senatorial Fight. Des Morxes, In., Sept. 8.—[Special to Tas Ber.|—Tle scnatorial fight in the district composed of Wright, Hamilton and Hardin counties, is attracting considerable atten- tion through tho state. The convention that Was to nominute some republican for senator mot at Wabster City last wook, but after a lively whirl in which everybody became pretty well excited, adjourned to meet again October 1. There were at the boginning of tho preliminary contest two candidutes for senator, Mr. McMurray, of Hamilton county, and Mr. Ellsworth, of Hardin county. The fight between them was very Ditter and each strove for the vote of Wright county, which held the balance of power. At this juncturo Wright thought it had a chance to run_in a man of its own, and then tho others fought for Wright's second choico, The consequence was a_reaction when the convention met, onn fuction withdrawing and holding a socond conveutioh, and so two sots of delegates were sent from Wright to the senatorial convention. That convention last weel was o very unruly body and ad- journment was taken to ailow the elements 10 cool down, with the hope that by October 1 a better feeling might prevail. There seems to be no special issue involved in the candi- dacy of any of the men, save that each is ambitious and his friends want him to win, and the figat, has thusgrown upon its own mtensity. Either candidate would make a good senator, so the balance of the state looks on with complacency, hoping that no bad blood will remain after the contest is over. It is not improbable that the result will bo finally the nomination of some man who has not been connected with either of the factions. Pharmacy Law Violations, Des MoiNEs, Ia., Sept. 8.—|Special to Tran Bre.|—The pharmacy commissioners are still finding people Who seem to think that anybody can sell drugs and medicines if he wauts to, One interview with the comums- sioners, however, satisties them that they were mistaken. Commissioner Snidor, of Grinnell, has just returned from Humboldt county, where he found A. W. Trout, presi- dent of the Trout Medicine company. dis- pensing medicine as an itinerant without a license. He showed him the error of his ways and Br. Trout took out a license. University Students Return Towa Ciry, Ia., Sept. 8. Bee.|—Students are arriviog every day, and the state university has begun to wake up the life of this quiet town. During the summer vacation several improvements have been made that will add to the convenience of students. ‘Lhis is especially true in the law department. The room in which the seniors formerly recited Las been remodelled, and the room devoted to the juniors has been reseated, so that a larger number than ever before can be accommodated. The changes were much needed, for this department of the university is growing larger every year. Some changes have been made in the room where the law library 1s placed. There is a new floor, new ceiling and new shelf ar- rangewent. ‘There will be but little change in the faculty. Prof, Dunton will be super- seded by Kugene Wanebaugh as resident professor in tne law defartment. Dr. Schaffer, president of the university, 18 doing finely and his work meets with véry general approval. He is getting the run of things now pretty well and every department shows the result of huviug & young man of life, un.\;rar and high character at the head of the school. Banker Brooks' Weak nes: LENOX, Ia., Sept. 8.—All sorts of rumors as to the cause of Brooks’ bank failure at Lenox are circulated, but that & woman was at the bottom of it seems to be showa by those fumiliar with Lenox affairs. Some time ago, it is reported, the president of the bank, R. L. Brooks, who is an old gray- haired man and a chnreh member, obtained the services of & young lady raised in Lenox as cashier. For about a month all weut well, when the wife of Mr. Brooks became jealous of the fascinating yoang lady and secured her discharge. Mauy storiss derogatory to the cashier’s character were circulated, and the youug lady with her parents are said to have threatened a suit for damaces against Banker Brooks. To avoid this the old gen- tleman is said to have paid the young woman generous amounts of money. At any rate, the people of Lenox seemed suspicious of the frolicksome old gentleman, whether the lady were slandered or not, and witndrew their gfl»okill.l. with the result of breaking the auk.

RABBLI RO ——— ANAU'S INAUGURAL. A Brief Synopsis of His Address at Temple lsrael. The following is a brief synopsis of the inaugural address delivered by Rabbi Wil- liam Rosenau, at Temple Isracl, on Friday evening, Sevtember 6: On the 28th of Juue, of the present year, occurred the fifth graduation of students from the Hebrew Union college at Cincin- nati. So large and imposing an audience as had then assembled 1s not often found at a similar event, Representative men of the countuy, flowers in profusion, anthems most imposing, all added to the cred character of that occasion. The learned president of the college invited nine of us to step upou the pulpit and be ordained as teachers and leader of our holy faith. With words of encouragement and his priestly blessing he pronounced us orduined rabbis in Israel. To-night there are again festivities in many synagogues throughout the land, as that class of nine preach for the first timo from their own pulpits to their own congregations. As I refiect upon ‘the great task that lies before nie, I call to mind_ the words of the prophet Malacchi, **For the lips of the priest are to guard understanding, and the law are they to seek from 'us moath, for a messenger of the Lord of Hosts is he." The priest, according to the prophet of old, was not'only 'to, be developed morally and intellectuaily, ‘but his development in these two respects was to surpass that of the common people 80 much that they could regard him as their leader. As we reflect upon this it seems that no secr or - sage cver defined more clearly the relation of preacher and congregation than did the prophet Mal- acchi, ‘Ine minister is to direct man’s He s to guide him carefully so that ot lose his foothola. He is to speuk to us of the lofty doctrines of our hol ligion, relate to us its marvelous history and call our attention to the duties we owse our neighbor, our parents and our God. He is to rejoice when we rejoice, com- fort_ us in sicknoss, console us when death comes to' us,” and inculcate afirm belief in the existenae of the life to come. But is this the extent.of his usefulness, or docs his sacred office impose other responsi- bilities upou him? ‘There is a great differ- ence of opinion existing regarding the exact scope of a pastor’s duties. * The more liberal and progressive element of society suppo: the pastor to be engaged in _solving the ab- struse questions propounded by the numer- ous opponents of religion, und he must fur- nish the devotee with arguments to ward off the attacks of the enemy. As a minister of a Jewish congregation, the rabbi must take it upon himself to di cuss the questions that are of vital import to Judaism. He must impress upon his congregation the fact that ours sis not a stationary roligion, but a religion of progress. The rabbi must also be a lec- turer. He must treat of topics of the day, upon which he may have something to say. There are questions which come up daily which must be brought before tbe peoble for serious consideration. In dong this 1s the rabbi inaugurating an innovation! Go back to the earliest times, when priests, prophets, and sages stood in the van of Israel, and note how, in addition to pointing out the paths of religion, they express their opinion on the best forms of government. Up to this day have the preachers and leaders in Judaism endeavored to spread such kuowl- edgeas would elevate and educate man- kind. Difficult in the extreme is the rabbi's po- sition on account of the variety of opinions as to bis exact dulies. The membership of his congregation are the ones upon whom he depends for assist- ance 1 his work. Every cougregation must manifest a yearning to be instructed to have its minister feel that his efforts are appre- cmted. ‘To-night, Temple Israel, you and I form a bond of union thatis most sacred in its character. It is abaud consecrated to the cause 0f the one and eternal God. Duties devolved upon us both respectively which we must strive to carry out. With such con- ditions and relations always existing, the word of the pulpit will be realized among us. For this lev us hope and pray, As wo are to-night, let usalways oe, that our congregation’ may prosper and become a congregation worthy of imitavion in all re- spects—a congregution of progress and ad- vanced thought.

The list of summary punishments in- flicted in the discipline of the British navy during the year 1887 aggregated 49,648 cases. Of these .39 were dis- charged as objectionable and 263 boys were punished by the administration of the birch rod, sentences of imprison- ment for short periods were passed in 1,489 cases and 2,711 were relegated to the cells.

ASKING SOME SHARP QUESTIONS, The Alliance Canaidates Govern fous Catechising AN the For the Hawkeye ship—KEach Anrxe to Satisfy. Hawkoye Politios. Drs Morxes, 1a., Sept. 8.—[Special to Tre Bre.]—Will it be Boies or Anderson? is the question the democratic politicians aro ask- ing themselves just now. The ‘“slough water” districts and the alliance wing of the party decidedly prefer Andorson for gov- ernor, but the counties like Dubuque, which give the hoavy democravic majorities, are more favorable to the former. Mr. Boies is a good sortof a fellow, dis- tinguished principally for his intense hostility to prohibition. He was formerly a repub- lican, and went over to the democrats on that issue. His residence in Waterloo, & strong railroad town, would indicate_that he is n strong favorite with the corporations, and if this influence rules the Sioux City con- vention, Mr. Boies will quite likely be the nominee, Major Anderson is a low tarift man and not much of a prohibitionist, and his posi- tion on theso questions would not be in the way, but he could mot hope to get much corporation support.

For these and other reasons there is not likely to be any gencral stampede to the democratic ranks, no matter whom they may nominate or what replies Hutchinson may make to the alliance, The democrats are likely to lose the as- sistance of the 10,000 union labor votes this 1. This party has nominated as its candi- date for governor Hon.S. B. Downing, of Davis, who is not only opnosed to fusion, but is also strongly prohibitionist. Downing' will neither fuse nor get off the track, and it now looks as if cach of these parties would go it alone in the coming campaign. Small as the union labor _party is it 1s not entirely har- mouious. The radicals, who live mostly in tho interior and believe in woman suffrage and every other species of crank- 1sm, have a war in the convention every year between the deleg: Dubuque and other cities. This lin, of Dubuque, was beaten for governor by a vote of 111 to 70. The nomination of Down- ing will almost annihilate the party m Du- bugue, where it has cast as high E. H.

It isn’t often that a Chinaman figures as tho hero of abraye rescue, yetaninei- dent occurred at Minnetonka on a re- cent Sunday which goes to show that even the much-abused and despised Chinaman can, if the accasion demands, show the very people from whom most of the sneers come a thing ortwo worth knowing. Sunday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Kratt, of Villisea, In., who, during that day, were guests at the big hotel, left for a stroll along the banks, accom- panied by their daughter, a young lady about seventeen years old. With the party was a young fellow from Des foines, a friend of the family, who, after much persuasion, inauced the young lady to venture a sail on the lake in his company. Tne usuai formula by the old party who rents the boats, Do you know how to sail?” having been an- swored in the aMrmative by the young Iowan, the couple embarked amid warn- ings from the old folks ashore to be very careful. Warnings could not control the winds that . blow, how- ever, and ere the amateur sailor had gone a dozem boat lengths n sudden squall struck the craft broadside and capsized her. The young man from Towa came to the surface first and seem- ed to forget all about the girl in his charge, striking out for the shore at a lively rate. Silent witne of the scene had been three bloused and pig tailed Orentals who stood on the shore. Relying on the bravery of the lady’s es- cort to rescue her, the Chinamen e hibited but a passing interest the proceedings, but on witnessing the cow- rdly behavior of her escort the big- gest of the three jumped out of his blouse quicker than lightening, shook is hooked toed shoes from his feet, and alongside the capsized craft befor the other bystanders vealized what had happened. The young lady was rescued with nothing worse than & wetting, and amid profuse ions of gratitude, of which he not understand a word, the resener and his friends de- parted. There was arevulsion of feeling in favor of the Mongol among the peo- ple who witnessed the occurrence, and expressions of surprise at the bravery exhibited and disgust at the cowardice of the Hawkeye native were heard on all sides. raking out of the war of the rebellion there lived in New York city an old lady by the name of Hall, She had one son—Thomas by name. He being her only child, all her hopes and prayers were centered on him, With themlived her nephew,Thomas’ cousin, The two young mien were of an age and looked so much alike that they were frequently taken for twins, and as fre- quently taken for each other. At the commencment of the John Hail for that was his cousin’s nnme—enlisted in a volunteer regiment und went to the front for three years. When the draft came Thomas s drafted and w forced to perform a duty which he did not relish. One day, in quarreling with his captain, he shot and killed bim, then fled as a deserter. He was traced to his home by a detail from his regiment, and when they surrounded the house and demanded him to surrender his Cousin John, who had just been discharged, gave the discharge papers to Thomas and surrendered him- self to the squad as the deserter. His nunt had n,\wu_vs been as kind as a mother to him, and he knew that the shock of having her son shot as a de- serter would break her heart; also, that he had no one to love him, as Tom had, s0 he decided to sacrifice his life that they two might live together. He was then taken buck and bore vhe punish- ment of death for his cousin’s crime. A large party of people from Williams- port, Pa., was recently on a visit to Nippone Park. The bathing thero was excellent, and many of the visitors took advantage of it. Among those in the Miss Cora Sheffer, about ears of age, daughter of Mr. Lewis Sheffer, of Pine street, Philadel- phia. The young lady, whois unable to swim, was caught in a swift current and borne down to where the water wus about nine t in depth. Her brother, Elmer Sheffer, who is about eighteen years of age, and u fine swim- mer, was quite a distance from her at the time teaching unother young lady how to swim, Miss Sheffer made but one ou heard by those on the shore, but not by her brother. The spectators seemed to be so horrorstricken thatthey could not ery out for help. There wasa dead silence, and this attracted the at- tention of Elmer. He 1nstantly got to the shore wich his companion, and no- ticed that at a certain point there was aswirl in the water, indicating that some one had gone down, He ran to the place, plunged in and dived to the bottom, bringing up with aim hissister, but without knowing who she was until Le got her toshore. The young lady was unconseious, but in a short time re- vived., She had gove down live times. At Johnsop, S. C., the other day, & colored boy wus bitten by a rattlesnake while in the woods. The boy screamed for help,and his brother, who was cut- ting wood near by, ran to him. He sucked the poison out of his brother’s leg. spitting it out, and continued the sucking and spitting until their father arrived with some whisky, At this hour the leg which was bitten is scarcely swollen, and the boy is Likely to recover without any great inconven- ience. The rattlesnake was killed. The boy who sucked the poison out said he heard an old man say that there was no daunger in sucking out rattle- snake poison, and that in every case it would . afford immediate reliefl to the person bitten, and that if this process were tried in time, it would alwavs effect a certain cure. He rinsed his mouth out thoroughly with whisky. atroets, to arrange for the = but swallowed none. The boy says he feels no bad offects from the method he used to save his brother's life, A thrilling rescue doath was Witnessed recently at Foresy Hill sta- tion, ou the Providence division of the Old Colony railroad. A laborer was standing in & hole betweon the rails, with lns head and shoutders above the track, unconscious of the fact that the Providenco express was boaring down upon him at the rate of fifty miles an hour. A gravel train was passing on the next track, and tnis drowned the noise of the aporoaching oxpress. Switechman Pugh was the only man who saw the laborer’s peril, and grabbed him by the shoulders and lifted him boldily out of the holo, jumping back just time to avoid being struck by the engine. It wasone of the bravest and most daring rescucs evor seen. Had Pugh hesitated one instant aftor reaching the man, both would have been killed, and any attompt to have warned him by shouting would have availod nothing, as the noise of the passing gravol train would have drowned his voice. sl i RAINIER AND TACOMA. How the Names Were First Applicd— Theodore Winthron's Trip The Seattle Journal publishes the following: ‘‘The recent visit of the Hon. 8.3, Cox to Seattle rendered pos- sible, curious enough. the settlement of a vexed question that has for a long time been the cause of a great deal of dissension and discussion in this seo- tion of the countr, It has settled be- yond all question the fact that the proper name of the groat mountain which overshadows the entire sound region is the name thich Seattle has been iv the habit of giving it, nnmely, ‘Rainier,” We fancy our Tacoma friends will be disposed to disagree with this proposition, but the proof is conclusive. Mer. Cox brought with him a map secured from the Congressional library, published in 1504, upon which - the westorn coast is plainly defined. In the Cascade range a} moun- tains a mountain clearly appears to which the name of Mount Regnier is appended. We don’t believe that even such ingenious people as we know our Tacoma neighbors to be can go behind the face of returns such as these. The ovidence is final. All who have any re- gard for history and wradition eannot fail horeafter to call themountain by its right name, which is none other than Rainier.”) It may be added that the name Ta< coma was never known till Thec Winthrop’s remarkable book, “The Canoe and the Saddle,” appeared in November, 1862, says the Portland Ore- gonian. In 1852 Winthrow went to Panama for William L. Aspinwall, and ited California and Oregon the next r. In August, 1853, he was at Puget Sound, and resolved to return to the east across the plains. His book, writ- ten in u somewhat sophomorical style, but remarkavle for its poetic. im- aginative and descriptive passages, gives an account of his voyage with Indians in a canoe through Puget sound and his horseback ride over the Cascade mountains from Nesqually to the Dalles, with Indian guides. In this book the great mountain gets the name somu.” Winthrop professes to have obtained the name from his Ind guides, and he gives s imagination glay in a supernaturai legend of the mountain, It is probable that the name c0ms result of his effort to reproduce or imitate a word given him by his guides, who were Yakima In- dians. and that the word was a common one used by these Indians as a term for all snow-white mountain peaks. The name of the y of Tacoma was taken by its founders from Winthrop’s book. Winthrop was killed at Big Bethel, Va., ly in the war of the rebellion, and “The Canoe and Saddle,” with other books he had written, and which evi- dently had lain some time 1n his desk, was published immediately after his death. Every citizen of Tacoma ought to read the charming book that furnished the name for their city, and everybody else, for that matter, ought to read if, too. Winthrop was but twenty-f when he visited Puget Sound and passed through the adventures that he relates with admirable literary power. The mountain was named by Van- couver, the man who first discovered and explored the great inlet called Puget Sound. Puget was one ‘of his party. To the great mountain peak east of Puget Sound Vancouver gave the name of Mount Rainier, in honor of his friend, Admiral Rainier, of the British navy. This in' 1792-8. Mount Hood was also named by Van- couver’s party in honor of Lord Hood of the British navy, the same who fought with de G the French admiral, off Chesapeake bay, in 1781, when the Eng- Lish wero trying to reliove Lord Corn- wallis, whom Washington was besieg- ing at Yorktown. The fact that Rai- nier is written " Regnier” on the map vroduced by the Hon, 8. . Cox is due to the notion of some one whoh name that is was of French origi hence it was put in French form.
