who do not advocate the reelection of Mr..
Harlan to the United States Senate, the
Nonpariel at Council Bluffs, and the Bur

former paper devotcs a long article to the
subject advocating clear field to all compel

and suggests to the Council Bluff man the
propriety Of naming his man If he has any
one in particular in view. The Davenport
Gazette expresses the opinion that the masses
of the Republican Party are in favor of Mr..
Harlan, an opinion in which we fully concur.

replied, why, sir, | thought as we were
going to pray God for rain, I'd be sure to
want the umbrella" While they were pray

The District Court for this cosnty, Hon.
j. S. Townsend presiding is now in session.
1t being Special Term, held for the purpose
of disposing of certain cases remaining on
the docket at the last term, a Grand Jury is
dispensed with. The session will occupy
two weeks probably, the Docket being large.
Judge Townsend gives universal satisfaction
on the bench.
In addition to the numerous and able bar
of this place, there are quit. a number OF
Attorneys from abroad. We notice Ives,
Allison, Jenkins & McPherin, of Eddyville
Fisher of Oskaloosa, Perry of Abba, Harris.
of Centerville, Knapp of Keosauqua, and
Rorer, ofBuriington. A very able Bar, we
should judge.
We are inclined TO think that few more
chairs in the court room would be q source
of comfort and convenience to the members
of the Bar, if the county can afford them.
The demand seems to exceed the supply
very considerably.
