Dodge. It is a gray granite shaft nearly twenty feet in- height and eighteen inches in diameter. It sits on two large blocks of the same material and is surmounted by a large ball of granite. The body of the shaft is the American flag, carved with neatness and is so highly polished as ito set it off in- bold relief. On the cap 'block, beneath shaft ie a border of stars, while below on the main shaft is a medallion of the gallant officer.

The medallion is life sized and shows Colonel Kinsman -with a -full fceaxd and.wearing the full uniform as he did he fell at Black River Bayou, May 17, 1863. Above the medallion are the words, "Colonel Kinsman:" end beneath "Born July 11, 1832, at Cornwallis, Nova Scotia; Killed iff battle at Black River Bayou, 1863." This is on the south side or fece of the monument. On the west side are the words', "Erected by his comrades and the citizens and school children of Ctoun- Bluffs." On the 'east side is carved, "Teacher In the -public schools, of Council Bluffs, lieutenant and captain in Company Fourth Iowa Infantry, and lieutenant-colonel and colonel in the Twenty-third Iowa, infantry." The north side is blank. This magnificent monument has been erected in Fair-view cemetery, which is on one of the highest bluffs overlooking this city and the broad river and valley of tha Missouri. It is plainly visible from Omaha and- South Omaha, Neb.

Oelonol Kinsman's Career. Colonel "Wllliami H. Kinsman, to memory the shaft dedicated today was erected, at the breaking- out of the civil war was a school teacher in Council Bluffs. He at once enlisted in the Fourth Iowa infantry (General Dodge's old regiment) and went to-'the front-as a private. He was soon pro- "m-oted to a lieutenancy then to the captaincy of his company.

He was later given his discharge from the Fourth to aJlow him to- come home to assist in organization the Twenty-third, around which his -best remembered military career This regiment was mustered into service at Des ciVColnes, September 19, 1862, the day of the battle of luka. Kinsman was -lieutenant-colonel and William Dewey colonel. The latter died in November, and. Lieutenant-Colonel Kinsman was made.colonel. With hi3 regiment he saw hard campaigning- before Grant's last Vickaburg- campaign, and in this he distinguished himself with rare gallantry.

The charge at Black -river twlSga was tinder the eye of General Grant 'himselt who commended the daring of the Iowa troops that made it, tfie Twenty- sewHid and Twentyithird, in warm terms. Colonel Kinsman was kiilefe before he was 80. Had he lived he would have risen, -undoubtedly, to high rank before the clos 1 of the war. His body was buried on the battle field and his grave was carefully marked ly his comrades, wlio hoped at some future time to remove his remains to his home hers. There they had lain for almost thirty-nine yeare.

Laot fall General Dodge becama interested in the search for the resting place of his old comrade and personally financed an expedition, which at great expense and long search, located the spot, disinterred the re- maine and had them shipped here late last fall. Since then arrangements have been making-, till now the final resting place of the officer who made for his" home city a proud ua.me and in doing so lost his" life, is marked by a. fitting reminder to coming generations that here lies a hero. New York Tribune: "Tho station at Savannah," says a. traveler trough the ooutb, "is surrounded In ail Slrcclions with a dot of saloons and restaur- ants In great illuminated letters over one of these saloons -was the sign: "Open-sll night' "Next- to it was a restaurant bearing with "equal prominence the legend, We in order was a.

May Sapieha, New York," is how the register at the hotel Stafford identifies' the occupant of a top-story room. The- man who wrote the'name'ana address has no servant, with, -conspicuous plainness and seldom-has a cab or carriage. -And yet he has tieen received toy the most exclusive families, and the lion of -Die "smart set." This modest stranger's correct name and title is as follows: "Prince Jean Pierre Adam Marie Sapieha-Kodenski, Chamberlain to the.Emperor of Austria and lieutenant of the Royal Uhlans." He is the sixth son of Prince Adam Sapieha-Kodenski, one of the 'best atistoracits and members of the royal family in The Prince 'has toeen here several days, and it is reported that he is much impressed with a number of Maryland possess very many dollars.

Prince Sapieha declined to give any other rea-son for visiting.Baltimore except that he had found it pleasant here, and should, remain until afiter the horse show. After that he should go to Philadelphia for a few days. He said he had letters of introduction to several into say who thsy were.

The board of 'control returned terday noon from inspecting the institutions at Anamosa, and Independence. At the hospital -for the in- 'eane at Independence the.

board bought a 'tract of 153 -acres of -land at per acre. The total cost of the tract was slightly over The land was purchased of, L. -Main. It adjoins the present institution farm. The entire appropriation lor land at Independence was 539,000 and the board has options on eleven more pieces adjoining or near the institution farm.

The board was at Independence May 14 when the Attendants' Training school class graduated. The graduates were Harry W. Burkett, Clara Florence Smith, James Ellsworth Catherine Andler, Ella Frantfeis Hurley, Mary W. MbCunniff, Mary Wickins, Hadley, Frank H. Tuttle, Gabriella M.

Wagner and Marie S. Hultberg. Judge Robinson delivered an address and -Mr. Cownie presented the diplomas-. The institutions are reported to be in good condition.

The school for the blind at Vinton will close for the year a weelc from "Wednesday. Judge Robinson brought back from Vinton a number of fine speciment of beadwprk made by the blind children. The skill shown is little short of marvelous. Mr. Cownie while -at Anamosa secured photos of Wesley Elkins as he appeared when admitted to prison, at 12 years of age, wearing convict clothes and as he appeared when released and in civilian garments.

The contrast is so great as to be striking: In the extreme. Kagidale Versui Sillueer. At the rneetfng yesterday afternoon the executive council, after conference with the board of control, heard another chapter in the long standing feud of Ragsdale vs. Salinger and Salinger vs. Ragsdale.

Both contesting parties, I. Salinger, supreme court reporter, and G. H. Ragsdale -of this city, who has the contract for furnishing the Iowa law reports, were heard. For two hours they edified the council toy their eloquence, persons waiting 1 without fearing at times lest they should break into open violence and it would be necessary to call in the capitol police to restore order.

The quarrel is merely an extension of a long standing one. Salinger claims that Ragsdale is not getting out the reports fast enough. Inasmuch as the reporter is paid according to the number of reports Issued, slowness In issuing reports means slowness in the incoming of pay for Salinger. Hence he asks the council GBN. G.

On the other hand, Ragsdala maintains he is delayed in gelting out reports toy the- failure oC Salinger to provide indexes as Cast as they are needed.
