A SUNDAY HYMN.

I ora 81 Ill being throned afar,
1hv glory flames from sun 10 star
Centre aud soul Of every sphere,
Yet to each loving heart how near
Sun ofaru life. thy Weakening ray
Sheds on our path the glow of day:
Star of our hope, thy softened light
Cheers the long watches of the night.
- re- q 81.
Our midnight IS thy smilo Withdrawn
Our noontldc is thy gracious dawn;
Cur rainbow arch Thy mercy's sign;
All, save the clouds of sin, are thine
Lord Of all life, below. above,
Whose light IS truth, whose warmth
love.
f. Before Thy cver-blazing throne
We ask no lustre of our own.
Grant us thy truth to make us free.
And kindling hearts that burn tor thee.
Till all thy living affairs claim
One holy light, one heavenly flame!

Ian IyJuscrros.-We are indebted
to the North Iowon of June Goth. for
the following item The case Of !.
B. Parker VS. Arad Hitchcock, County
Judge, James D. Jenkins, jail contrac-
to, and J. N. Smith, County Treasurer,
in the District Court Of this county,
praying that the Injunction heretofore
granted to restrain said defendants
from proceeding further in the erection
Of . Jail in this county, be made pre-
petnal, came up before the court on
Thursday, this week, when his honor,
II. II. Williams, decided that under
the laws Of Iowa, the County Judge
has not the authority to contract for
the erection of county Jail, when
there is no money in the treasury
therefor, without first submitting to the
people the question whether such Jail
shall be battle-ground Of the decision,
that the contract comes in the class
involving extraordinary expenditures.
The injunction was therefore made
perpetual. Defendants excepted to
the decision, and carry the cause to
the Supreme Court, on appeal"

How TO AVOID THE DANGER OF
Misunderstanding the thunder
storms, persons in houses should sit OF
lie in snme place as far distant a. pos.
sible from the chimney. and the most
exposed part Of the walls-the middle
of the room, if it is large, is the safest
locality. Sailors on the sea should
keep as far from the ,naats as possible,
and farmers in the fields should never
seek shelter under trees. Horizontal
strokes Of lightning sometimes take
place, and several persona have been
struck while sitting at an open window
during thunder storms. Every win
dow Of room in which persons are
sitting, in such cases, should be closed;

through an open window into an
apartment, will be conducted down
through the floor and wall to the earth

Prompt Patosnal Punishm ent.

Yesterday morning ~ Warden Van Slvke
was standing in the Penitentisry yard. he
saw girl in pasture field ct some distance
and on the river west of the Penitentiary,
who seemed to have been intercepted BY
two young men and to be trying to escape
from them. The Warden started towards
the group, and as soon as the girl saw him
she ran toward him. She proved to be the
daughter Of farmer living near, and had
been to drive the cows TO pasture, when che
was waylaid by the men who accosted her
In such manner as to leave no doubt of
their evil intentions. The young men were
from the village of Alton. The Warden
had some parlsy with the men during which
the frightened girl ran for home, where she
related the affair to her father, who started
for the Penitentiary where they found Mr..
Van Slyke. the two men having gone to-
wards the depot.
The father and the Warden followed Of.
ter. The young men saw the pursuit and
took to an alley, but were intercepted and
caught They denied vociforously any i'm
proper attempts or intentions towards the
girl, but the Warden had been witness OF
enough himself to refute their story The
father took them to his house and confront
ed them with the girl in order to give them
fair trial. He then told them that he
would 60 down to the field and look ct the
locality, and the two culprits, the father and
the Warden started. Having arrived there
the father drew . most passion quelling
cowhide from his coat and proceeded. 40 If

youthful blood, he let him CO. and the

How TO PREVENT AND CURE Sun SrRoxE.-
As there is considerable danger, duriug this
hot weather. Of coup de sol1il. a preventive
and cure is worth having. The following
should be cut ont and placed in everyones
memor ,ndum book:
The attack may generally be avsrted by
bathing the head in cold water, or wearing
q wet cloth inside the hat. Intoxication il
predisposing cause; and il is noticeable
that most persons attacked are of Irish or
German birth. The remedial treatment 10
simple. The head should be bathed or
rubbed with cold water, and the patient
made to swallow carbonate of ammonia in
solution. When the heart shall have re-
sumed normal action cure is indicated.

The Burlington Hawkeye published
statement few days since, concern.
ing G. c. Cole, Of this city, Democratic
candidate for Judge of the Supreme
Court. We at the time branded the
story as false in every particular. The
editor of the Citizen afterwards alluded
to the story, insinnating that it was
true, Notwithstanding he had been in
formed by his own political and per-
sonal friends that it was false.
The certificates published below
nail the lie, and prove that the editors
OF the Hawkeye and Citizen, their in
formants aud the circulators of the
story, have grossly slandered Mr.. Cole,
and they will now stand before the
public as publishers and circulators of
base falsehood. We place the brand
upon them.
The certificates are from gentlemen
whose truth and veracity will not be
impeached in this community. Read :
l, the undersigned, certify that am
personally acquainted with the affair
between c. c. Cole, Esq, and one Mr..
Bates, referred to in the Hawkeye, and
afterwards in the Citizen. l was then
acting Mayor of Des Moines, and the
accuse was brought before me for ex-
animation, and Mr.. Bates returned Mr..
Cole to prosecute, and he did so sue
ccssfully. Mr.. Cole never had any of
the money in his hands, but it, with
the goods obtained on search warrant,
we're brought into the Mayors Court
by the officer, and afterwards when
Bates received the money and goods
from the Mayors Court, Mr.. Cole being
absent from the city, Bates left in my
hands SIS for Mr.. Cole, which was
paid him BY me on his return; and
from my personal knowledge Of the
affair, l am prepared to pronounce the
article published in the Haackeye, and
referred to in the Citizen as unquali-
6edIy false. H. E. LAMoREAUx.

nounce the same an unmitigsted false

to Mr.. Cole and asked for money,
stating that he was out of money-had
been on a spree and lost his money.
Whereupon Mr.. Cole gave him $3.50
