CARD FROM MR. PAGE.
Wants It Understood That He Was

'Editor -Evening Times: I note you
say in -today's Issue that you cannot
properly tell who gave you the information-
that Daniels influenced the
conference committee for the purpose
of striking at me.
I presume there' can be no Impro
priety In your saying that. I did not
suggest this to you, nor speak to you
about It at all, and that you have not
heard from any source one word that
I have said about It. I suppose you
can do this tt right. Since it Is a fact
that Z was absent from the state when
the little excitement sprung up; have
not been to Raleigh since, nor have 1
commented on the incident in any way.
I would like to have you make this
statement In, order to keep the record
clearj 'I inay not be able to remain si
lent ejll the time, and I snail want : a
fair start,. -If It shall seem proper to
get into the discussion.

which he coupled up the Aberdeen and

Col. T. M. Argo Bald nothing had
been heard from the people within the
1 quarter of a mile. It was apparent that
private interests controlled many pre
sent. He himself occupied that posi
tion. The point in controversy seemed
to be where the lines should be.
Mr. A .A . Thompson considered it
manifestly unfair to hold the election
proposed in the bill. He would ogree
to the mile in every way from the capl
tol by statute, and his mill would agree
to it. (Tremendous applause) All this
constant disputation was injuring the
city.
Mr. Drewry stated that so far as he
was concerned, he was only interested
to see Raleigh go on. He had eliminat
ed all friendship In this matter, and
the proposition for 4 square mile was
entirely satisfactory to him.(Applause.)
Then Senator Webb offered the am
endment accordingly and it was adopt
ed by the committee.
ORIGIN OF DES MOINES.
The Name Not French, as Commonly
,( . Supposed, But Indian.
After three years of discussion and
research, the city of Des Moines, capi
tal of Iowa, has formally decided that
its name is not of French extraction.
. The discussion VWaS brought to a
crisis three years age when an erudite
Down East writer in a magazine de
manded that "tho arly French ex
plorers, such as La Salle, Hennepin,
Dubuque 'and Des Moines should be
adequately represented at the St.
Louis Exposition."
The debate seems to have settled
that Des Moines was not named after
any early French explorer, that there
never was such a proper name, and
that there was no good philological
explanation of the name. . n
The name comes from the Indians,
declares a writer In Queries.
It was originally Molngona, and
was first, given to the Des Moines
river by some of the French. On
Various maps which have been looked
np It was put down as Molng8na.
The character "8" was used by them
at that time to signify the sound of
"ou." ;-Iv;
As a result, the early Americans
who followed the Frenchmen into the
valley, not having time to write and
explain this odd French character,
cut the word to Moin. .( , . ,
Then, when the next stage ot de
velopment came, the river known as
"the Moin" was assumed to have been
named by the French, and the "De"
was substituted for the English arti
cle. Finally, the substitution of a
uniformly French, spelling made it
Des Moines,-without changing the
pronunciation.'
. Kit was originally a pure Indian
name, but a series of accidental cor
ruptions have made It apparently a
French word. -' .Its' meaning in the
Indian tongue has been utterly- lost,
kit Was supposed for many years,
under the theory that the name was
French, thatit meant "the monks,"
bat Investigation utterly disproved
this. The: French who came after
the - name was ; adapted to French
forms were the most mystified as to
its meaning-id French. '
