The day was generally observed throughout the United States, and more especially in the north and among the colored race. The great emancipator's history is so well known to every school boy that it is useless for us to expand upon his life. In nearly every school house the lads have eulogized and paid a beautiful and well deserved tribute to the saviour of his country. Lincoln entered into the arena when the storm was brewing thickest. When men were excited and talking about various rights. He stood inimitable amid the changing scenes. He remained the last resting place for heaven's delight and saw beyond these shifting clouds that the right of human being is to be free. He preserved the flag, saved this republic and made her what it is today—"A government of the people, by the people and for the people"—and left his undying heritage to our race. ST. VALENTINE To-morrow Old Saint kick with her quaint old pictures, her funny and her beautiful pictures will be in full bloom. The little urchina, the Misses, the middle aged and the old will all smile alike to think of the days gone by when cupid played its part in the drama of life with them. It must be remembered that while St. Valentine day is very ancient even older than America, yet the invention or making of the first beautiful valentine was introduced to the public by Miss Esther A. Howard of Worcester, Mass. 1849, she became rich, and now the beautiful valentine is the go. ON THE DECLINE. Rev. J. D. Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocate of New York, said in the Methodist Preacher's Meeting the other day that statistics will show that methodism is on the decline. He speaks of the church in general. The reverend is one of the best posted men of his church and he claims that correct figures will verify his statement. He says that he believes in looking at the facts as they are and not taking an over-optimistic view. He declared it was a grevious mistake to claim anything else. ORGANIZED A STOCK COMPANY. Cleveland Citizens Organized a Mercantile Company—a While there are many mining eamps in Iowa with colored miners and many of them doing well, but there is no more flourishing camp at present according to its size then Cleveland camp located in Locus County.

Barksdale each doing nicely, Cleveland has a good colored band. Republican congressmen have beed guarded in expressions regarding Root's speech. It was admitted everywhere the race question could no longer be minimized. Heretofore each party has sized up certain phases to secure political advantage. The fire-eating southerners look upon the Root speech from that viewpoint. The republicans were more guarded and conservative. Senator Carmack of Tennessee said: "I am glad the administration has come to recognize there is a race question. It has never done so before. This admission offers hope that the question may be approached from a national standpoint." Representative Richardson, minority leader, was unwilling to discuss the speech until he had read it carefully. John Sharp Williams of Mississippi could see nothing significant in it. John Wesley Gains said the best thought of the country had already devoted itself to the race question, and solved it. "I mean," said he "the south has solved the problem and only needs to be let alone." Field Report with a Word of Cheer.

Z. Green, of Daville, IL. Arrested-Buy Stock at Indiana and Has Checks Cashed for Himself. Des Molnes, Feb. 11—Charles Johnson, alias U. Z. Green, charged with an extremely clever forgery at Indiana, badly wanted at Daville, IL., and said to be a noted cocker, was captured on a Rock Island train at Atlantic last evening on ornamentation by Davidied Sherry, Chairman of this city. Johnson had been in Des Molnes through the day and was heading for Omaha when intercepted by a message sent to Sheriff Marshall at Indiana. Johnson succeeded at Indiana in achieving one of the smoothest pieces of forgery that has been attempted in this part of the country. He went to Indiana himself as U. Z. Green, a noted cattle man and a prominent Shorthorn breeder of Danville, Ill. He visited the stock farm of Brown and Randolph and collected the cattle himself as Green. Mr. Brown had met Green at the International Live Stock expedition in Chicago and recalled the name clearly, though he did not remember Green's name. He knew the man who appeared before him was the noted breeder himself. Johnson proceeded to go through the herd of about 150 cattle and with the skill of an expert farmer, he managed the cattle, the finest in the herd. He displayed a wonderfully clear knowledge of stock and talked about cattle in a way that was little short of astonishing to Mr. Brown. Convinced it was Green he was talking to and thought nothing of it when the sale had been made and Johnson presented a check for $4,900, the cost of the stock, drawn from the bank. He was special form bearing the printing of U. Z. Green of Danville. Mr. Brown went with Johnson to the First National bank at Indiana. There he checked the cattle, but received it for and deposited it to his account. As soon as Brown had deposited his check, Johnson drew another check for $300, payable to U. Z. Green. He then presented the check to J. F. Simpson of the Indianola bank, and the cashier at once turned over the .300. Before Brown and Johnson, he presented the check to Brown and asked if the man represent himself as Green was all right. Brown said he was, that Green was a big good for any sum he might draw for. It was arranged between Brown and Johnson that the cattle should be shipped to Green at Daville, February 1. Yesterday morning, becoming auspicious Cashier Simpson wired to the bank at Daville, on which the check was drawn. At reply was received that the man was not Green and the cashier Johnson had come to Des Molnes, leaving the city at noon for Omaha. A telegram to Shermanville resulted in the arrival Johnson when the trail arrived in that city. MAN MISSING WITH $3,000. V. F. Doherty of Valley Valley Cannot Found. Rock Valley, Feb. 13.—F. V.

Supreme Court Says Highland Park College is Not Exempt Des Moines, Feb. 11. — The supreme court has decided that the city of Des Moines did right in assessing and taxing the Highland Park college property, land and buildings. It was assessed to its sole owner, the college at $100,900 for land and buildings at $100,900 and the personality at $20,000. The district court cut this down to $65,000 for the land and $6,000 for the college equipment. When it was owned by a college company the district court had declared it exempt on the ground of its utility used for educational purposes. The supreme court says that it is not exempt under this clause for while it is used for educational purposes it is used for profit only and is not dedicated to educational purposes.

Secretary Root addressing the members of the New York Union League club night before last mentioned three problems which hold within them possibilities of great evil for the country. One is the tendency to division between the rich and poor. Another is the tendency to check individual development and opportunity. The third, which Mr. Root believed the club especially should consider, is the Negro problem. The abolition of slavery was followed by the declaration that the black men should be free and equal citizens and by the gift to them of the ballot. Thoughtful men at the north said, "Give them citizenship and equal rights and they will rise." Said the secretary, "I fear that we are compelled to face the conclusion that this experiment has failed." No one can deny that. In the southern states where there are the most Negroes the ballot is absolutely denied them, first by force and then by constitutional provisions. Nor does southern unfriendliness to the Negro stop here. His right to aspire to office is disputed, and usually effectively disputed. The proscriptive feeling is gaining force. Secretary Root called attention to the fact that President Roosevelt has appointed fewer colored men to office in the south than any of his republican predecessors. Yet the southerners are condemning what they call President Roosevelt's policy of appointing Negroes to office. Mrs. Cox, the colored postmistress at Indianola, kept her position for six years, during which there was no complaints on account of her complexion. It was only lately that the whites of the town decided that she must hold office no longer. This means that hatred of the Negro is growing. He must not vote. He must not hold office. It must not be admitted that he has social rights. Whoever will not subscribe to this program must be ostracized. The south will not be "reconciled" so long as one black man holds a federal office there, no matter how petty the office may be. There was a furious outburst of southern indignation the other day because a black man, an officeholder in the district, attended a reception at the White house. As Secretary Root says, there has not been a time since the war when Negroes have held office in Washington and attended official White house receptions. Southern men said nothing on the subject a few years ago. They denounce the practice now because they are bitter and more intolerant than they were. The southern white deny the colored man advancement or recognition of any kind. All the are vouchsafe him is drudgery and insufficient wages. He must "order himself lowly and reverently." He must breathe softly in the presence of the superior race. He must be content with scanty food and insufficient raiment. It is deemed best that he should be ignorant, for ignorence may make him more submissive. That the attempt to educate the blacks is looked on with suspicion and disfavor is shown by the late boycott of Booker Washing- ton in the Florida educational convention. The oddest thing of all is that while the southern whites dislike the Negroes so much that they deny them social and political rights, they are violently opposed to any attempt to get the black men to move away from the south. They are close imitators of the methods of Pharaoh in dealing with the children of Israel. He would not let them go for he wanted their unpaid labor. The whites of the south wants the blacks where they are as laborers, provided they will be content to remain in a condition of semi-servitude, which is every day approaching to one of actual slavery. Only one step remains to be taken. It is that the black men shall be bound to the soil—that they shall be forbidden to change habitations or employers at will. Then they will be slaves again in all but name. Northern people cannot view indifference the fate of the black men in the south. Said Secretary Root: "We can never, "never throw off the responsibility resting on our people for the welfare of these people, and the new question of what can be done for them, now that the first attempt has failed, is one that challenges our best thought and patriotism." Many are discouraged because of the failure of the first attempt, a failure which Secretary Root thinks is traceable to the fact that the freedmen were not taught the competency to exercise suffrage rights conferred on them. Yet the practical reevaluation of the blacks cannot be tolerated. The peace an stability of the republic will be endangered if so large an element of the population is degraded and debased. The blacks must be lifted up, not forced ento lower depths. The problem to which Secretary Root specially directed the attention of the members of the Union League club deserves the attention of all thinking men. The plan to deprive the blacks of the south of social rights, of the right to get an education and better their condition, and to make of them mere serfs—hewers of wood and drawers of water for lordly masters—must not be carried out.—Chicago Daily Chronicle.
