Political observers in Leavenworth County report the Ku Klux Klan seems withdrawn as an organized political faction.

Canaries Bring Cheer to Iowa State Pen Death Chamber
Five hundred canaries were installed at Iowa State Prison in Fort Madison Iowa to lift inmate spirits in the death chamber and nearby sections. Inmates and guards note the birds’ songs provide hope and solace, with many prisoners owning or tending birds. The program began with an inmate named Ryan who introduced the birds, now owned by Ryan and about 100 other prisoners. A large cage in a corridor houses fifty to sixty birds. The birds have responded to kindness shown by inmates, with notable tales like Billy the canary continuing to sing after his owner Gabe Simons was executed and even singing during the transport with the body. Officials praise the birds for their wholesome influence on prisoners.
