OSKALOOSA - * * IOWA:
—The world sorrows with the appall
ing loss of the Victoria, of the British
nary.
—Did the Sherman silver bill cause
gold to take a westward shoot from
Europe?
—Sell a horse, if necessary, and go to
the World's Fair. Don't cheat your
self of that great instructive pleasure.
—Now is a good time to get into the
band wagon of the good, sound cur
rency procession. It is headed for solid
prosperity for every one.
—Globe-Democrat: “The man who
framed the Sherman law says that it
ought to be repealed, and his judgment
in the matter is that of an expert."
—Congressman Ilayes has gone to the
Maine woods in search of health- worn
out in hunting otlices for friends who
will little care whether the worry killed
or not.
—Sam Clark speaks at Hedrick, and
Major Lacey at Fremont. That will be
two splendid speeches let loose July 4,
in close neighborhoods. They msy hear
each other!
—There will be a great foreign de
mand for American grain this year,
and it will bring in foreign cash to buy
it, and make money just that much
more plenty.
—Secretary Chase sat s the lowa
dairymen carried off the honors iu the
line exhibit tests. There were 100 en
tries, and the average score was 96, over
four points ahead of New York and
Wisconsin exhibitors, who were next.
—Only 2,000,000 pounds of wool was
sold in the principal markets of the
country last week, against H,000,000
pounds during the same period last
year. General apprehension of change
in values by reason of the tariff legis
lation proposed is at the bottom.
—Fort Dodge is proposing to erect a
monument to Webster county's sol
dier dead, on the public square, at a
cost of $3,000 or $4,000. Southern towns
are away ahead of northern ones in this
act of grateful commemoration.
—The United States circuit court at
Washington has decided the state anti
cigarette law unconstitutional, being in
contravention to the constitution of
the United States. The cigarette dude
can keep right on the way of idiocy and
asylums.
—The death list of Wednesday's cy
clone will reach about seventy persons
—many of them being killed by light
ing. In Kansas one whole family took
refuge in a school-house, and all were
killed, their bodies being frightfully
mangled.
—Major Adolph G. Studer, of Des
Moines, for many years consul at Sin
gapore, Malay, India, has been removed,
and Mr. Pratt, of Alabama, appointed.
Major Studer is about the only Ameri
can consul who did not succumb to the
fevers of that country, and he has him
self attended the funerals of nearly all
the English consuls sent there. He was
formerly a member of the Fifteenth
lowa Infantry, and an excellent officer
in every way.
—For the 12 months ending June 1
our exports amounted to $848,373,845
a decrease of 174,010,700 as compared
with those of the preceding 12 months.
On the other hand, we imported $996,-
901,287, as against 8828,848,119 show
ing an increase of $106,053,168. These
vast differences of selling less and buy
ing more than ever, are to be regretted
deeply. The National Tribune well
says: “Xatually, this state of things
cannot continue, if we are going to
keep any money at all in the country.
There is one sovereign remedy. Buy
less of foreign and more of home prod
ucts. l)o not cripple the McKinley bill,
but make it more effective.”
A WOIIAN MEMBER.
Gov. Boies has Idled the Judge Wright
vacancy on the lowa Soldiers’ Monu
ment Commission by the appointment
of Mrs. Cora Weed, of Muscatine, who
becomes also one of the executive com
mittee. Tjik Hekai.d has already ex
pressed the hope that this would be
done, because of its eminent and fitting
propriety.
During the preliminary work of
securing legislative support for the erec
tion of the monument Mrs. Weed was
the member for the Second district of
the Woman's auxiliary, and apart from
Hon. 1). X. ltichardson no one else ren
dered such devoted and winning service
for this memento of lowa valor as she.
With all a woman's single-hearted en
thusiasm and loyalty, joined with a
trained and broad judgment, Mrs. Weed
threw herself into the task of iniluen
cing and educating public sentiment,
gave of her own time and ability freely,
and wrought with a zeal that was more
noteworthy from the fact that it was
wholly unselfish, no member of her own
family being included in the lists of the
lowa soldiery, or as the possible recip
ient of the honor thus to be bestowed.
Gov. Boies' recognition of Mrs. Weed,
whose signal service was well known to
him, is creditable alike to his fairness
and her worth, and will be to the com
mission au accession that will strength
en ita hands in the future labor of plan
ning and perfecting this most noble
memento that the State of lowa has
ever or may ever erect within its
borders.
Vandalism.—Benjamin Andrews re

The Penn college party which left
home Monday via the Central & North
western, was a fortunate one, as through
the kindness of Agent Shinkle a chair
car was looked up in waiting for them
at Marshalltown, and after all were
seated the other seats were filled from
among the number of those who were
standing in other cars. They were
crowded.
On arriviug Tuesday morning Prof.

They will visit the Fair next week.
Pres. Roßenberger and family are with
friends; so also are Prof .and Mrs. Jones

missioner J. W. Jarnagin last week.
Mrs. Jarnagin and sister, Miss Akins,
were found at the lowa school exhibit,
which they have in tine appearance in
the southwest gallery of the Liberal
Arts building. Mr. Jarnagin returns
to-day from Cedar Falls.
Each noon with lunch baskets or boxes
we rally at the lowa building, where
have been seen Ralph, Mary and John
Burnside, Miss Mary L. Loring and
aunt, Miss Leoni McMillan, Miss Clara
Snowden and friend, of LeMars, J. J.

lights thrown on the Columbian foun
tain and at intervals thrown on the sev

two gorgeous electrical fountains, pre

behold. Gondolas, electric yachts and
steam yachts with their decorations,
varied colored lights and merry crowds
plied about in the Basin and bands in
their elevated stands added sweet mu

We can realize how one who was here
but a day or two would say the Expo

to see it. To the observer it is a mam

With the increasing attendance it will
be a success financially. While there
has been great exaggeration as to high
rates, we advise the visitor to bring a
box or basket with lunch for several

BIG DAY FOR BROOKLYN.
The New York City Celebrates at Jackson
Park.
Chicago, Jane 28. —Brooklyn is the
first city to have a ''day” at the world’s
fair grounds. Besides former residents
of the City of Churches who now live in
Chicago, there were in attendance over
2,000 excursionists from New York’s
big suburb. The formal exercises were
held in Music hall, and consisted
of song and oratory. M. L. Towns, of
Brooklyn, presided, and addresses were
made by the chairman, Hon. Thomas
B. Bryan, of Chicago, Mayor Harrison,
of Chicago, Mayor Boody, St. Clair Mc-
Kelway and Murat Halstead, all of
Brooklyn. The Arion society of Brook
lyn furnished the music. After the exer
cises an informal reception to Brooklyn
ladies was given by M rs. J. S. T. Stran
ahan, member of the New York state
board of woman managers, in the New
York state building. Later all the
Brooklynites were entertained at the
Empire state headquarters by the state
board and at 6 o’clock a banquet was
given in honor of Mayor Boody. A
feature of the day was the publication
on the grounds of a world’s fair
issue of the Brooklyn Eagle,
which was printed in Machinery
hall and sold to the visitors at
the same time in the afternoon as they
are in the habit of getting their papers
at home. The edition was edited, set
up and printed on the world’s fair
grounds and contained a complete ac
count of Brooklyn day at the fair.

Bebi.ix, June 28 —The taking of the
second ballots has been accompanied
by riotous socialist demonstrations In
several cities. In Mannheim, where
a social-democrat was unseated by a
national liberal, the social-democrats
tried to march in disorderly bodies
through the street*. They ignored the
orders of the police to disperse and
fired on the police with revolvers when
the attempt was made to enforce the
orders. Mounted police, who were
called eventually, charged and scat-’
tered the mobs. Several policemen
were »-hot and many socialists were
trampled or cut. Numerous arrests
have been made. In Sehweitzengen,
Weiheim, Neu-Stettin, similar encoun

been killed, but many have been
wounded and arrested in each of these
cities.

CARING FOR BOYS.
The State Industrial School at
Eldora.
What It Is and What It Is Doing
for the Incorrigible Boys.
A Readable Sketch by one of the
Boys.
LOCATION AND BUILDINGS.
The Boys’ Industrial School is situated
on a beautiful tract of farm land, some
720 acres, one mile east and a quarter
west of the city of Eldora. The loca
tion of the buildings is about the cen
ter of the farm. There are 13 build
ings. .The main building, a brick
structure, 70x140 feet, four stories high,
contains three dining rooms in which
the boys eat their meals, two kitchens
in which all the cooking is done by the
boys, laundry, store rooms, hospital
rooms, bakery, private rooms for the
female help, offices and private rooms
for the superintendent, assistant super
intendent and matron.
There are six family buildings, three
stories high and a basement. In the
basement is a wash room and play room
in which the boys spend their leisure
time in cold or rainy weather. On the
first floor is a school room and a private
room for the man and wife who preside
over the family. On the second and
third lloors are dormitories, clothes
presses and water closets. These build
ings are furnished to accommodate
from HO to 75 boys each.
Two shop buildings, one a brick struc
ture 40x100 feet contains a tailor shop,
tin shop, store room and seven private
rooms for employes, and the other, a
frame building contains a shoe shop,
carpenter shop and broom shop.
The barn is a frame structure 60x120
feet, with a basement furnished with
stalls for 22 head of horses and 60 head
of cattle. The grain bins are above,
also the farming tools and implements
and a mow holding 200 tons of hay.
There is a garden house in which all
the seeds, fruits, potatoes and vegeta
bles are stored for future use.
THE ARRIVAL OK A NEW BOY.
The arrival of a new boy is not an
exl raordinary occurrence, as one arrives
every two or three days, but things hap
-1 pen to that boy the outside world knows
nothing of. When a new boy arrives
1 he is taken charge of by the superin
-1 tendent, who searches him and takes
. from him any money, tobacco, knives
1 and cigars that he may have. He is then
1 taken to the “surplus" where he stays
until some time later in the day, when
he is taken from the “surplus" by an
1 ollicer, who takes him to the tailor shop,
tits him out with a suit of state clothes,
then to the shoe shop, gives him a pair
of shoes that would lit Jumbo, provid
ing Jumbo's feet were small enough,
and then takes him to the bath-house
where his hair is clipped off short and
he is instructed to use plenty of soap
and water. After iinlshing his bath he
is put under a shower bath of cold
water that makes him think he has
struck the coldest region this side of
the Arctic circle. He then dresses him
self in the clothes furnished him by the
ofticer, and is then put on the “surplus",
once more. He is hardly on the sur
plus yard before a crowd of boys begin
to gather round him (he was not allowed
near the boys before he was bathed).
As soon as a boy joins the crowd he
is plied with the following questions:
“What's your name?” “Where did
you come from V" “What did you do
to get sent here ?” “II ow old are you ?”
“I)o you know anybody in school V" and
numerous other questions. The new
boy does not like to be pestered with
so many different questions (and every
question asked not less than fifteen
times;, and he soon begins to show it
by telling some of the boys it is none
of their business, and there his trouble
begins. He is not long in meeting an
other boy who probably says, “Say, kid,
what’s your name?" The answer of
the boy would most likely be, “None of
your darned business.” (Anyhow, that
is the answer he got from the boy I
have in mind). “Now, lookie here; you
don't want to get so funny about it.”
“What’ll you do if I get funny about
it?” “I'll show you what I’ll do about
it; just come down to the out-house.”
(That’s where the boys settle all of
their troubles with one another.)
We will follow them down there and
see what hapi>ens to the new boy. We
find them in the out-house, in the midst
of a crowd of boys, eager to see how
the fight will terminate. “Now do you
want to see what I’ll do ?” The new
boy is puzzled; but finally gets up
enough courage to say, “Yes; I want to
see what you’ll do.” “All right; here
goes.” “liiff ! ’ “Bail!”
It is hard to tell how the light would
have ended had not the surplus mana
ger blown his whistle and wished those
two boys that were fighting to come up
on the steps. The two pugilists came
up, and a sorry looking couple they
were. One got about as much as the
other; the new boy with a bloody nose,
the other with a black eye. We will
leave them in the hands of the officer
who called them up. Suffice it to say
that justice was done both—both got
“strapped” for that bout. What I have
said about the arrival of a new boy and
what happens to him will apply in near
ly every case.
We will now follow this new boy that
I have reference to through his stay in
the school. He was in the school some
thing over four yeats. His first two
years were not very profitable for him,
as he lost his badges. (For the benefit
of the readers of The Herald who do
not know what a badge is, I will briefly
explain. A record is kept of the boy’s
actions. If he does something wrong a
report of the thing he did is given his
family manager, or the man who pre
sides over his family. The family man
ager then makes a record of the offence
and how many credits are taken from
the boy’s monthly account; at the end
of each month the credits marked
against the boy are summed up and sub
tracted from 100 credits and the balance
is reserved and called a badge. The
number of credits required for the dif
ferent badges are as follows: 75 for first
four; 85 for second four; 90 for next
three, and 100 for last or 12th badge.
If a boy has twelve badges he is ready
to be released by the trustees if they see
fit.) He lost nearly as fast as he made
them. But he finally settled down to
business; he began making his badges,
was given a trustworthy position in the
school, released by the trustees and
received an honorable discharge.
FOOD AND CLOTHING.
The clothing furnished the boys is
neat and comfortable. Their every-day
winter clothes are the following: Jeans
pants and vests, heavy woolen coats,
hickory shirts and cotton flannel under
clothes. Their every-day summer wear
is overalls, light, but durable coats, and
hickory shirts. When cold weather sets
in the boys are furnished with warm
winter caps, but these are taken up as
soon as the warm weather comes, and
put away for the next winter, and the
summer hats are given out. The boys
do not suffer from cold as they are well
provided with good, warm shoes and
'stockings, and the boys who work out
of doors iu the winter are furnished
with overcoats, overshoes and mittens.
How many boys are there in the state
of lowa who have no homes, or if they
have their parents are too poor to clothe
them comfortably, who are knocked
about the world, half the time no place
to sleep? I would suggest to those boys
that they could find no better home
than to go there. But if they go they
mußt not think that it is all play and
uo work, nor all work and no play, and
that they will have a “snap" as they
call it, because they will not. They will
have the rules to obey the same as the
other boys, go to school half a day and
work half a day. The food is plenteous
in quantity and wholesome in quality.
For breakfast the boys have gravy, po
tatoes, bread, coffee, and sometimes
cooked fruit or molasses; for dinner
they have potatoes, rice pudding and
meat, that is, pudding one day and meat
the next, vegetables or green fruit,corn
or wheat bread and water; for supper
they have potato soup,molasses or fruit,
bread and water, and cake on Thursday.
Their Sunday dinner consists of beans
cooked with pork, cooked raisins,some
times butter, bread and tea; and their
Sunday supper consists of pie and cake.
The boys have a “turkey dinner” on
Thanksgiving and Christmas and are
allowed to converse at the table—some
thing they are not permitted to do but
twice in the year.
TREATMENT.
The treatment of the boys is every
thing that could be expected from those
in charge of them. Some boys natural
ly mean or incorrigible have to be
brought to terms by severe treatment.
The ofticers are not permitted to “box”
a boy about the ears or kick him; but
when a boy has committed a punish
able offense he is taken and “strapped”,
either by his family manager or the
superintendent. But aside from that
the boys are treated with kindness and
everything tried to be made as easy as
possible. The ollicers play with them
their games of foot ball, marbles, etc.,
(that is, ollicers that can play.) Some
boys are treated by the officers for whom
they work with taffy-pulls, candy, dates
or something of that sort, and of every
thing that the officer does they try the
hardest to make everything as pleasant
and homelike for the boys as possible.
OCCUPATION OF THE BOYS.
Every boy's time is occupied in some
way or other; he is either working on a
force that goes out and tends to the
potatoes, garden stuff, corn, sorghum
cane, etc., or he goes to school and tills
his own farm, his brain, so that it will
produce for him more as time rolls by;
some work on the “team job”, they plow
the corn, break the soil, haul in the
crops and garden stuff, and bring the
coal and other things that may be in
town, out to the school; some work in
the dining halls, washing the dishes,
cleaning the tables and scrubbing the
lloors; somein the kitchens cooking the
meals and putting up the fruit; some
in the dormitories making the beds and
cleaning up the building; while others
are working at the barn, cleaning it out,
cleaning up the barnyard and feeding
and milking the stock. In the shoe
shop some fifteen boys are at work
cobbling, making shoes foi the boys and
for the girls who are at Mitchelville. In
the tailor shop you can hear the hum of
the machines and the boys busily at
work making clothes for their fellow
inmates and themselves.
THE SCHOOLING
The boys are graded according to their
standing in studies into ten grades,
which are arranged as any of our graded
schools. The principal and nine teach
ers have the school in charge and every
boy is compelled to go to school four
hours each day and work four hours.
Four grades go to school in the morn
ing while the other six do the forenoon
work, then the six grades go to school
in the afternoon while the forenoon
grades do the work. Their studies range
with the grade they are in, from the
grade studying bookkeeping,arithmetic,
practical grammar and business corres
pondence, down to the grade learning
their A. B. C's. Globes, maps, charts
for the little boys, books, slates, pens,
pencils and in fact everything that is
needed to run a first class school, are
furnished the boys free.
recreation.
Each boy has some time for recreation
each day. Some play ball, others
marbles, some do nothing while others
go and hunt up their chums and have
a private chat. When trustees meeting
draws near, a crowd of boys are select
ed by the music teacher, who gives them
pieces, dialogues and songs to learn,
with which they are to entertain the
trustees, ofiicers and boys. Sometimes
the boys are taken to town when there
is a show in the Opera House at Eldora,
and have a pleasant time. Saturday
afternoon is given the boys. Some of
them have a match game of base ball
in the pasture, and sometimes ball
nines come from towns near by to play
them and they generally leave with
sober faces at the thought of being
beaten by the “Industrial School” nine.
They come expecting to gain an easy
victory, but most always get beaten.
Sometimes they get hold of a nine that
is too much for them, but they never
give up without struggling manfully.
Each family is provided with a set of
croquet and croquet grounds to be used
by the boys. As hard a name as the
“Industrial School” is given by some
people, it keeps on doing wonderful
work for the state of lowa. It is a
great school.
In conclusion 1 would say to the
readers of The Herald, go and visit
the school and see for yourselves. You
will feel amply repaid for your time
and trouble. F. o.
A Card.
There is probably more than one
hundred thousand dollars on deposit in
the banks in Mahaska county, arawing
little or no interest. From experience
in negotiating loans, I am satisfied that
this money can all be loaned on excel
lent real estate security, at seven per
cent, semi-annual interest, free of ex
pense to the lender. If, therefore, the
leader of this card desires either to lend
or borrow, on the terms stated, you are
cordially invited to take advantage of
the Loan Exchange, established in con
nection with McMillen’s Law Office. I
carefully examine the abstracts of title
and attach my opinion as an attorney,
that the title is clear; and take every
precaution essential to a conservative
)usiness. In no case will I negotiate a
loan, unless I personally examine the
security, and believe that it is ample.
I also can negotiate eastern monev at
six per cent interest, where three thou
sand dollars or more aae desired.
Respectfully, Liston McMillen.

HOW WE GROW.
Business Prosjterity in our City—
The Huber <£ Kalbach Wholesale
Hardware House.
A BIT OF HISTORY.
On examination of the World's Fair
Columbian souvenir tickets one linds
them coutersigned by A. F. Seeberger,
treasurer. This gentleman, who has
for so many years held a high place in
the business and political world, hori
zoned only by the ever lengthening
boundaries of Chicago, furnishes the
starting point in this history. Along
in the early fifties Mr. S., who was then
selling nails by the pound in the room
which now forms the west half of Hu
ber & Kalbach Co.’s main sales room,
sought for an efficient clerk, and found
him. Charles Huber, a small German
lad was this clerk. We are informed
that Charles was at once made master
of the broom and stove black uud,
should the occasion demand it, we are
satislied the gentleman would not now
hesitate to spend a few minutes at his
lirst duties as a clerk. About '62 or ’3
Mr. Seeberger sold out to Cary Cooj>er,
Charles Huber remaining a clerk in the
old store. About this time the lirst
express agency of Oskaloosa, which was
managed by John 11. Warren, was trans
ferred to Cary Cooper’s store and came
under the care of Charles Huber. In
the spring of ‘73 W. 11. Kalbach, now
secretary and treasurer of the present
company, began clerking for Mr. Coop
er, Mr. Huber buying out the store of
Watts & Stafford in the fall of the
same. Later on Joe Huber, who had
also clerked for Cary Cooper, became
associated with his brother Charleß and
continued with him until about 1882,
the lirm doing business under the name
of Charles Huber & Brother, in the
building on High avenue west now oc
cupied by Haw & Mcl’herrin. W. 11.
Kalbach ' had in the meantime been
gaining the knowledge of business and
hardware which was to prove such a
factor in the development of the busi
ness as it is to-day. In 1879 Mr. Cooper
sold out to Wm. 11. Todd, and W. 11.
Kalbach relinquishing his position iu
the store became cashier of the New
Sharon bank. In 1885, Mr. Huber, who
had made a success of his business ven
ture, proffered his friend and business
companion of former years a share in
the labors and protits of his business
This Mr. Kalbach accepted, and the co
partnership then formed was continued
until Jan. 1, 1891, when the business
was incorporated, Mr. Huber being
elected president, and W. H. Kalbach,
secretary and treasurer. At the time
the above copartnership was formed
the business was still in the old house
where Mr. Huber began business for
himself; but it was soon moved to its
present location, Huber A Kalbach hav
ing bought out the Knapp A Spalding
Co., who had begun business here in
1880 and now moved to Sioux City.
Until the year 188 H the business of
the firm was of a retail nature. At this
time, having moved into the I. M. B.
Soc. building, where room was found
for a larger store, they began a whole
sale trade, which has proven highly
successful. The growth of the busi
ness from year to year has been the re
sult of comtant effort and good busi
ness management, and is as gratifying
to the house as it is to the community
where they spend their money.
In Decemlier of 1892 the I. M. B. Soc.
began the erection of a building to the
west of the one formerly occupied and
in less than six months time the build
ing was completed, the stock being
placed and the business continuing un
interrupted. The Huber & Kalbach
Co., occupy the entire building, with
the exception of three office suits on the
second tloor, occupied by the I. M. B.
Soc., Cowan & Hambleton, real estate,
and Bolton & McCoy, attorneys. The
actual tloor space occupied by the hard
ware, including a large wareroom to
the rear of the main building, is 25,800
square feet. All the conveniences that
a twentieth century wholesale trade
could demand have been supplied. A
very noticeable convenience is the open
business office in the center of the sales
room. Besides the members of the firm
there are employed in this house Mr.
Yreeland head clerk; E. 11. Norris, as
sistant cashier; Christine Shinnick,
bookkeeper; W. 11. Seevers, shipping
clerk; 11. Van Rhee. an, clerk; S. 11.
Johnson and Charles Beach, assistants;
S. Ilays.stenographci and billing clerk;
S. 11. Miles and John R. Baer, traveling
salesmen. Among the many conveni
ences of the new room may be men
tioned the traveling loader, saw cabinet,
telephone closet, electric elevator and
stationery closet. Economy of space*
has been made a special study, and the
end attained has proven highly satisfac
tory. In the changing and rearranging
of the store not one day was lost, which
fact sj>eaks much for i!.e builder, Mr.
Hadley. So far as was possible the
work was given to h one men, which is
a guarantee of excellence.
The handling of carriages, phtetons
and the like is a new branch of the
business which the firm has recently
added, and with a movement toward
success that is most gratifying. They
have this season received over five car
loads of caniagesand the larger part
of them have been sold. The room ou
the second tloor is devoted to the car
riage stock, and it makes a splendid
sales and storeroom. The firm has one
the most elegant business houses in the
west, and here’s hoping for their suc
cess and prosperity.
THE IO WA HOG.
Atul lowa Men Talk About It.
Des Moines Capital: The lowa
Swine Breeders’ association closed
its semi-annual meeting last evening
with a banquet at Evans’ cafe. The
banquet was given by the lowa Home
stead, and about 100 were present. The
banquet was a well gotten up affair.
After the tables had teen cleared Pres
ident D. L. Howard called the guests
to order and presented Editor Henry
Wallace as toast master. He first call
ed upon D. P. McCracken of Illinois,
who read an able address on the “Hog
Men of lowa.” He indulged in con
siderable wit and worked in puns in
great shape frequently raising a laugh.
J. B. Harnett of Boone responded to
the toast, “Town Lots vs. Swine Hus
bandry.” lie argued that town lots are
the result of successful swine industry.
Judge George G. Wright was next
called upon to respond to the toast,
“What I Know About Farming.” He
cracked some jokes at the expense of
Captain Albert Head, Senator B. B.
Vale and Prof. James Wilson and then
he proceeded to tell all about farming.
He advised them to keep out of
politics.
Tama Jim Wilson was introduced to
respond to the toast, “The Mortgage
Liixer.” He told of the closing days at
the lowa Agricultural college and
then said that the ideal mortgage lifter
is the fat lowa hog. The hog is get
ting an international reputation and
has entered nearly every country of
the world.
B. R. Vale of Bonaparte, spoke at
length upon “The Ideal Home.’’ He
thought It was a country seat where
the farmer lived with his wife—his
own wife- and a plurality of children,
lie wanted paved country roads and a
daily mail delivery.
J. B. Wolfe of Nebraska was intro
duced as the next speaker. He talked
about “The Farmer in Politics,” a sub
ject which he knows all about. He
said the subjects of pigs and politics
were not very closely connected. He
said the farmers of Nebraska were not
iu politics, they were simply attending
to their own business. His idea is that
a farmer should take a great part in
politics.
Captain Albert Head spoke about
“The Eim Peeler.” It was a witty ad
dress and was loudly applauded.
Then 11. C. Wallace spoke of “Re
lations of the Ilog to the Dairy Farm.”
Judge Nourse closed the speech
making by discussing “What I Don’t
Know About Hogs.” He made an able
and Interesting address as he always
does.
GLAD TO GET OUT.
How Fielden, Schwab and Neebe
Received the News.
Their Pardon Came as a Surprise—
They Promise to Refrain from
Agitation in the Future.
THE FREED ANARCHISTS.
Chicago, June 28.—Three men who
for nearly six years have been known
as Nos. 8,376, 8,526 and 8,527 emerged
from the stone portal of the peni
tentiary at Joliet at 7 o’clock
Monday evening and ofice more
breathed the air of freedom. They
were Oscar Neebe, Samuel Fielden
and Michael Schwab, the anarchists
GOV. ALTGELD.
who had been convicted of complicity
in the Hay'market riot May 4, 1886,
when seven policemen were killed by
the explosion of a dynamite bomb
They owed their liberty to Gov. Alt
geld’s pardon.
How They Heard the New*.
E. S. Dreyer, the real-estate man and
banker, who has interested him
self in behalf of the men. arrived at the
prison from Springfield at 3:15 o’clock
in the afternoon with the pardons
in his pocket, and also a copy
of the governor’s statement of his
reasons for granting them. Mr. Dreyer
was shown into the office of Warden
Allen and presented his documents.
The warden examined them, found
them correct, and at once sent for the
three convicts, who were convicts no
longer.
Neebe, Schwab and Fielden entered
the warden’s office dressed in their
prison stripes. They were stood up in
line and in the presence of Warden Al
len, Chaplain Roth, Clerk Miller and
Storekeeper Allen Mr. Dreyer informed
them that Gov. Altgeld had signed a
pardon for each of them on cer
tain conditions. Tears stood in the
eyes of the men to whom this unex
pected news of freedom came. Their
emotion was apparent, though they
made strong efforts to conceal it.
The Governor's Condition*.
Mr. Dreyer made a short speech, in
which he said executive clemency was
extended to them on condition that
they promised to be hereafter honest, up
right citizens, to go to work and earn
a living, and forevermore to refrain
from associating with men W’ho
preached the doctrines which had
brought them w'ithin the prison walls,
and to refrain themselves from again
propagating anarchistic theories. He
told them how they had been despised
JUDGE GARY
by the whole civilized world, and hoped
that in view of the mercy that was
shown them they would never give Gov.
Altgeld nor himself cause to regret the
action which set them free.
Eagerlj Accepted.
All three of the men unhesitatingly
made the promise required of them.
The warden then presented each with
his pardon, which was the usual form
in such cases, with the governor’s sig
nature attached. Oov. Atgeld's review
of the case was not read on account of
its length. Samuel Fielden, replying
for himself and comrades, assured Mr.
I)reyer that neither he nor Gov. Altgeld
would be given cause to repent their
course in the matter.
Off for Home.
The liberated men then shook hands
with Mr. Dreyer and were conducted
back into the prison, where they took
off their striped clothing and donned
civilian suits. Later they took a Sante
Fe train for Chicago. The pardon was
a complete surprise to all.
