Among those who graduated from Oberlin college on Wednesday was Carroll Napier Langston of St. Louis. His brother, John Mercer Langston, graduated from the same college in June, 1901. Prof. Arthur D. Langston, principal of Dumas school of St Louis, father of these two young men, graduated from Oberlin in 1877. Hog John M. Langston, formerly a member of congress, father of Prof. A. D. Langston, graduated from Oberlin 1849. Thus three generations of the Langston family have graduated from Oberlin college and the record is said to be without precedent in the development of the Negro race in America. PEONAGE IN ALABAMA. Below we publish an editorial taken from the Register and Leader about the servitude in which some of race is undergoing in the south. A staff correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle, a newspaper whose political affiliations relieve it of any suspicion of partisan intent in its reports from the south, writes a story of the peonage system as it is now in force in Alabama that vividly recalls the days of Uclem Tom's Cabin. Not only have the descendants of the old slave drivers gotten back to the custom of buying and selling Negroes, but they have apparently revived a system of brutal punishments that slavery days did not much surpass. This correspondent tells of the testimony that now is being given before the United States grand jury, which will, when the first trial is called, he says, bring to the surface "so many shocking and almost inscrible disclosures of crime," that the country will be astounded. If the specimen that he cities are to be accepted, his prediction will be more than realized. The tortures of Kisheney, committed in passion, were not more horrible than have been regularly committed in cold blood by the sclions of the old slave holding aristocracy in our own land. Negroes are exhibiting their torn limbs and scarred backs as in the old days, the mute but absolutely truthful witnesses of the atrocities that are being committed in the black belt of the south. In the long list of crimes that have been disclosed, one is reported in detail, more pathetic than the rest. The story is told in a plain affidavit signed by six witnesses, and is as follows: I was at Mr. Turner's place. She came on Monday and stayed until a Tuesday. She came down to Fletcher Turner's. We was in the new ground. She could not pile brush like he wanted her to and he took her down, dropped her clothes and placed her across a log. I held her feet and another Negro held her by the head. Allen Turner whipped her with a buggy whip trace, lashes. He would hit her a lick and than another in the same place, every time raising blisters or drawing blood. He made us hold her. Then he put a pair of cuffs [hand-cuffs] on her and tied a rope around her waist and made me draw her up as her feet would just touch the ground and let her hang till dinner, two hours. It was over the limb of a tree. Just about dinner we lowered her down and she crawled over to some bushes. Mr. Turned me to throw her a pone of bread. She said she couldn't eat. Then Mr. Turner told me to throw the pone of bread to the dogs After dinner I was told to go and tell her she must go to work. She pulled the lid of her eye down and said she could not see. She asked me if she could see. I told her I could not see through her eye far. She then crawled behind the brush pile and lay down and never got up any more. Allen Turner beat her over the head with a pistol again and she died. The Allen Turner who killed this girl is a young man 17 years of age. The local grand jury investigated the case and this correspondent reports: "The Turners prepared for that formality by handcuffing and shackling all the Negroes who were present on the occasion of the beating of the woman and bringing them to Dadeville thus bound together to appear before the grand jury. Before they set out for Dadeville and on the way they were warned that if they related what they had seen and heard on the plantation, if they did not assure the grand jury that Sarah Nealy had died a natural death they did not live to appear in court. Believing that the Turners would carry out their threats, they testified as they were instructed, with the result that the grand jury dismissed the case." Attorney General Knox is thoroughly aroused by the disclosures that have been made and is determined to push the investigation to the very end. The United States grand jury will be in session all summer if necessary. Fortunately there are some white men in the south who are alive to the disgrace and outrage of the new slavery, and they are coming to the front to assist in its extirpation. Among them, easily first, is United States District Judge Jones of Alabama, an ex-considerate, but an honest man and an upright official. What will be ultimately disclosed remains to be seen. But enough is known to make it very evident that in more than one southern state a system of court and contract slavery has been in existence for some time, and that but for the interference of northern men and northern sentiment, slavery would in a few years be again firmly entrenched in the south. NOTICE. The committee has made arrangements whereby the delegates and visitors to the Grand Lodge can be cared for at the rate of $1.00 per day. All delegates and members who expect to attend the Grand Lodge in Des Moines should send their names to the chairman of the committee, Wm. Coalson, Des Moines, so that the committee can arrange for stopping places for everyone who expect to be in attendance. If this is done the committee will not be handicapped when the delegates and friends begin to come in, and all visitors will know just where they are going to be accommodated. FINE EXHIBIT OF HORSES AT IOWA STATE FAIR. The exhibit of horses at the Iowa State Fair in August will be one of the finest on record. Already several bars have been taken and there are sufficient entries to insure an unusually good exhibit. The fair management announces that all contemplating entries should not forget to have them in before August 5th, as the entries will close on that date. This is necessary, in order to give the secretary time to catalogue all entries. Horses will be shown each forenoon during fair week, after Monday, in the new Live Stock Pavilion. Each exhibitor will wear a number corresponding with the number in the catalogue. A large bulletin board will be used on which the numbers of the winners will be placed immediately after each class is judged. It should be borne in mind that seats in the Stock Pavilion are free and those visiting the fair will be well repaid if they visit the Pavilion each day to witness the horse show.

Charles Harris, a Pullman car conductor on the Kansas City-St. Paul Great Western train due in Des Moines at 9 p. m. was fatally shot last night by Dining Car Conductor N. E. Shoquist, a Des Moines man living at 210 West Tenth street. Statements made by members of the train crew and passengers on the train show, the shooting to have been accidental. Shoqaist gave himself up and was taken into custody when the train reached Des Moines, but Captain Miller, after an investigation, released him, being satisfied that the shooting was an accident. Harris was taken to the Methodist hospital where was examined by Dr. Hanawalt, who gave but little hope for his recovery. The bullet, a 38-calibre, entered the man's head just above his right eye. Several small pieces of skull were extracted but the bullet has not been found. The accident occurred just as the train left Conger, a small station about twenty-five miles west of Des Moines. Harris, who had gone back to the diner for lunch, was about to leave the car, when he took a small calibre revolver from his pocket to show to the cook and waiters. Shoquist, who was seated at his desk in the other end of the car noticed the gun and with a laugh at its smallness reached into his desk and pulled out a large 38 Colt with the remark, "I'll show you a gun that is a gun," pointed and snapped the gun at Harris, it was a case of didn't know the gun was loaded. The gun had been in the desk five or six months and is the property of the second cook. Mr. Harris died Tuesday, and never lived long enough to make a statement, his wife came from St. Paul their home, but she was so affected by the shocking news, she went into a swoon from which she has not recovered and may never. Mr. Harris brother arrived here from Ottumwa where Charles was born and took the body there Wednesday for burial, Charles was one of the promising young men, having been married only three years, he at one time lived in our city and worked a term as janitor in the Iowa Legislature, he was well liked by all, and his many friends will feel greatly grieved by this sudden death.

HAPPENINGS IN HAWKEYEDOM Four Companies of State Milklin Ordered to That City to Maintain Order in Connection With the Strike of Street Car Men. Dubuque, June 22.—The street scene opened early with four companies of militia guarding the company's property. There was no disturbance. Dubuque, June 23.—Governor Cummins spent yesterday in investigating the circumstances with the letter to ascertaining if possible when the troops could with safety be returned to their homes and at the same time use his best efforts to bring about a settlement with the militia. The promises satisfied factorily until a late hour last night, when the street car company, after submitting a statement of essentials upon which they were satisfied, after the striving motormen met and considered the propositions and voted to accept them, changed front and declared they would hear to nothing different from their original proposition, since these days ago appeared in public print. Dubuque, June 24.—Cheers of exultation instead of the clamor of the mob filled the streets of Dubuque at 11 o'clock last night when President Obama announced the settlement of the street railway strike. Yesterday morning he tendered the good offices of the club to both parties and they agreed to arbitrate before the club's municipal affairs committee. The club was represented by its officers and the strikers by President Urick of the State Federation of Labor, and State Labor Commissioner Brigham. The committee rejected the original request for a court of non-union men from the company; service and for requiring the company to submit to the union its reasons for the discharge of any man. The cause of the strike May 6th was the discharge of Devereaux, Nonan and appeared as a grievance committee. The company contended that they had been discharged for violation of rules. The committee awarded them clearance cards to the nonan and appeared as a grievance committee. The company contended that they had been discharged for violation of rules. The committee awarded them clearance cards to the nonan and appeared as a grievance committee. The company agrees to reinstate all other men and discriminate against no union man. They also agree to receive the union's grievance committee and allow appeals on grievances from the nonan. The Adjunct General Byera will order the militia away later. READY FOR STATE FAIR WEEK Des Moines Short Line in Running Order by August 1. Iowa Falls, June 24—President E. S. Ellsworth of the Des Moines Short Line states that he is confident that he will be able to operate for regular traffic by August 1, and will be in shape to handle the state fair traffic from this part of the state very nicely. It appears to be the de- sired road in the best shape possible before putting on regular train service south of Cambridge, to which point trains are operated daily except Sunday. The road is now graveled between this road in the best shape possible condition. South of Cambridge some of the heaviest work on the line has been necessary, much of the grading and cutting having to be gone over with the road's completion of completeness of the roadbed which was completed late last fall. The heavy rains and high water this spring affected the road's line on the south side of the road, taking much time. Midsummer will see the opening of one of the best equipped roads in Iowa, both in point of roadbed and rolling stock, for no expense has been spared in securing the best of everything for the line. Liabilities Are Fixed at $18,000, With Probabilis. Assets at $4,500.

As a result of this investigation a number of indictments have already been held, and it is probably that other indictments will hereafter be issued against the greater offense against, the government than a breach of trust on the part of a public official, or the dishonest management of his office, and of course every effort must be exerted to prevent the unjust rigor of the law. The district attorney of the District of Columbia has faithfully and zealously seconded the efforts of the postoffice department in the work of the office is such to make it difficult without neglecting other important public duties, to devote all the time necessary to the prosecution of these cases.

The crusade a year ago which resulted in the abolishment of machines from West Des Moines may find a parallel. Following up against the policy to softly but carry a big stick, Justice Tris, who started things, the machines, has given three admonition machines, with two cigar men embbling with dice would not be tolerated as a substitute for the abolished machines.

Cherry has confirmed the published statement that the Rock island has secured the Des Molines and Southern railway property, which it paid $100,000 for. The other states have secured the acquisition of the taxes which were voted between Winterset and Greenfield. These amounted to between $80,000 and $80,000, already been collected. Under the law, the tax was voted for the construction of a railroad cannot be turned over to the promoters, after they have been collected by the county treasurer, after the county commissioner "I ex-officio officials here in a few days," said Mr. Cherry, "and together we will go to Winterset and Greenfield and formally release the taxes so that they may be turned back to the property owners. The Rock Island has given assurances that it will make no effort whatever to retain or collect the additional taxes, so that the property passed into the hands of the Rock Island, that very transaction voided the taxes. The law provides that when the promoter or an officer of a new duce voters at the polls to vote a tax, and that statement proves false, the tax is voided and cannot be collected, the person, I went to the polls on the new route and that the property would never pass into the hands of the Rock Island." The Rock Island will make a new survey. It will not follow the route laid out by Mr. Cherry and much further south. This is for the purpose of getting the road as far from its main line as possible.
