The almost unanimous vote for the second ten
thousand dollar Plank Road Loan, on Monday last,
must be cheering to all the friends Of this improve

without any unnecessary delay. The mills in this
vicinity are saving plank as fast as they can, but
our great dependence for lumber is from the pine

such way as to lead US to think that the first raf,

Loss Of the Steamer New England.

The Boat Wreck - Probable Loss OF
Lis.-We received, on Monday night,
too late for Yesterdays issue intelligence
Of the disastrous sinking Of the steamer
New England No. 2, one Of the pt,sLu, oh
and Cincinnati packets.
On Sunday morning, about 4 o'clock,
the New England, OH her downward trip,
stopped to land passenger on the Ohio
shore opposite TO Greenupsburg, KY, and
some twenty miles above Portsmouth,
Ohio. This having been accomplished,
she was being pushed out to resume her
progress. when the aft portion Of her keel
came in contact with large snag. Being
thus held towards the stern, her bow was
swung around by the current, bringing
her whole force against the snag; large
breach was soon made in her keel, and the
hold Immediately began to fill with water.
A cry was made to "hold her to shore
but no line had been made fast; all was
confusion and dismay the boat continued
TO drift, with the current and the water -

of them were awakened in the genera!

the aid Of mattresses and the yawls. One
lady was seen with her hands badly lace

aboad, all Of whom were saved. Most
Of the passengers got ashore before the
water reached the boiler deck. Still the
boat continued to drift, and as The fires and
lights had been extinguished on deck be-
lore all the passengers were aware of,heir
danger, it is thought that several lives
have been lost.
There were some thirty horses aboard.
some twenty five Of which were drowned.
IL is rather remarkable that the boat drilted
about ten miles before the grounded. She
finally sank to her hurricane deck When

She was laden principally with hemp.

More Of the stolen Poll Books-Miller's Eiec-
ton Confirmed.

More Of the stolen Poll Books-NIiller's Elec-
ton Confirmed.
We have learned the result Of the late examna-
ton at Kanesvie. After being engaged about ten
days in a mos, searching investigation to the le
gaity OF the votes given to Miller, Judge Kinney,
J. c. Hall 4 Co., did not succeed in showing that
Miller had received even one illegal rofe in that
county. Their own testimony, on the cross exam
ination, showed the justice OF Mller's cause SO
clearly, that he did not think 1t worth while to take
any rebuttng testimony, except that OF J. c. Hall.
Hall swears that he don't know who took the Poll
Books out Of the Clerks office; but that after they
were taken they placed in his saddle bags and
that he gave them to Thompson. He duplicates a
certain editor not far from this place in the affair,
whose agency win be made apparent, when the de-
position is printed by order Of Congress. Their
own proof showed that there were over 500 legal
voters in Pot.wattamie, when the election was held,
and that the Sheriff of Monroe County, with other
prominent leaders of the loco foco party in Iowa,
was present at the Kanesville Polls during the cleo
ton, hurrahing for Thompson and handing out his
tickets. 1t showed, too, that the three Commits
sioners of Monroe county who created the precinct
at Kanesvilie, democrats, and that they, with
their Clerk, supported Thompson.
A large mass Of evidence was taken, and it is al
together in favor Of Miller. The fact that seman,
who was one Of the Cass Electors, and Bonney,
who was Secretary Of State, with other prominent
loco focos made pilgrimage to Kanesville few
days before the election and remained there four
days eectoneering for the locofoco ticket, and that
one orthcir number-Townsend-had money given
him to pay expenses, sc. sc. il most clearly prov
ed by this investigation.
After such proof, brought to light by themselves,
every one must see the inconsistency Of the locos
in s,ul,ifying their own action by attempting to
prove that Kanesvilie was not legal precinct. II
will not win; and when the evidence that has just
been taken is presented to the Committee in Con-
gress, they cannot do otherwise than award the
seat SO long usnrped and kept warm by Thompson,
TO DANIEL F. MILLER.

pottawattamie County.

The last Frontier Guardian contains ample ex-
tracts from the Hawk Eye concerning the finding
OF the lost poll book. The editor treats Mr. Thomp-
sons assertions about the neligbility of the votes
of that county in way that will make Thompson
sorry for his rashness. Hear him.
ssFellow citizens Of Pottawattamie, what do You
think of representative in Congress that will utter
such sayings concerning you? Remember that you
are INDISCRIMINATELY called aliens, foreigners.
and not twenty-one years OF age, not an individual
exceptioni You who fought for your Country in
1912, whose fathers fought under Gen. Washington;
you who have been citizens of Lee County Iowa
for twelve years,-who have been acting magis-
trates in said County. and before whom the very
lawyers employed by Thompson 10 impeach your
votes, have plead scores of cases. Are you aliens?
are you foreigners? are you not twenty -one years
ofage? Let us ask you plain back woods ques-
ton: Do you not believe that before Mr. Thompson
had fairly shed his infant iinen, some Of you Who
are called aliens, and foreigners, and not twenty
one years ofage, had been reared to perfect man.
hood under the stars and stripes that now float
our land? and had not many of yon reaped your Sc
cond harvest in this very County before you voted?
Viii yaurgrey heirs bless and honor the words of
man who thus falsely accuses and misrepresents
you in the Government Of the nation? One who, il
not an accessory before after the fact the apo
ogst of him who steals and tramples upon your sa-
cred rights! We cannot say that no illegal votes
were cast, yet we know of none. But we do know
that they were not all foreigners, aliens, and mi
nors.''
Speaking Of the presence Of Judge KINNEY of the
Supreme Court, the editor says:-
'sMormon officers in Pottawattamie County are
judged incompetent, by portion Of the Loco Foco
representation in Washington from our State, to
take the dispositions of their Witnesses here the
matter ofthe contested seat of Mr. Thompson, in the
House of Representatives. While we have no OBJ
lection to official men doing what the law and their
oath of office require them TO do, whether they are
citizens ofour county any other in he State Con
hdence reposed generally meets with a response Of
the Same.''
We regret to learn of Mr. Miller's illness at
kanesville. His perseverance and energy in fol-
lowing up the case are worthy Of all praise.

we found IN our Office the other day, two hams,

beat anything Of the kind we ever saw. For beau

had the appearance of being done up in neat buck.

is covered with composition, in lieu Of lime,
which, while it keeps the pliable just as
Impervions to the weather and insects, as the thick

vantage of having the composition crack in its re-
mosal from place to place, as is usual when the

bun coiored. making the contrast Of the imprin, in
black, very agreeable TO the eye. These hams are
done up in such way as to preserve their natural
juices, and we are glad that Messrs s. & d. have
reserved couple of thousand of them for our own

the fact, that exciting question presented itself
made the aggregate vote very small. Mr. Waller,

A few Of the friends Of Mr. HARKER had his name
inserted on some Of the tickets as a candidate for

candidate. The township vote was not so large a.
