which we clip from an exchange We oue'
for the consolation Of those Of our own
town, during the present dusty season;
What wise compensation Providence
does Afford" exclaimed pretty belle dur
ing the gale of Wednesday the same

SHopLIFTINo. While Mr.. c. c.
Boyles was removing his stock Of dry goods
to his new stand, piece Of bonnet silk was
stolen from the counter. and the person who
took it stopped in at Miss Shepherds milli-
merry sore, in the same block. and dropped
it there. Miss Shepherd recognized the silk
as belonging to Mr.. Boyles, having seen il
in his store, and Immediately took it to Mr..
Boyles, who pronounced it to have been
feloneously obtained. The shoplifter was
not apprehended. These petty thieves are
becoming entirely too numerous We have
almost daily complaints of losses by our
shopkeepers Of small articles from their
counters. Keep a sharp look out for all
suspicious characters
The MEETING AT BLUE Grass
The Demc cratic meeting at Blue Grass on
Wednesday night, was well attended and
much enthusiasm was evinced by the at.
tendant crowd. Mr.. Geo H. Parker open.
ed the meeting, in neat and appropriate
speech, which awakened the listeners to
sense Of their duty and prepared them to
give attention to Mr.. Geo. s. G. Dow, who
followed in one of the best speeches ever
made before an Iowa audience, on the ex
travagance of the Republican rulers and the
winding hypocracy of the Republican party.
This little speech will tell more for the
Democratic ticket on the l tn inst. than the
Republicans are willing to admit. The au.
dience dispersed with their faith deeply
rooted in the gospel truths of the Democrat
ic doctrine. Next Tuesday will prove this.
A Coon THING FOR THE GENTLE
MEN. Sam Perry, who is always getting
up something n new, neat and comfortable in
the way of gentlemens dress. hs- just re
ceived a lot Of the most elegant shirts we
ever saw. They are altogether . new arti
Gle in this market, and are so nicely and
scientifically made that no person need be
alarmed, but that he can be suited every
time We say they are the prettiest pat
terus in the city, and would invite the at.
tention of the gentlemen to them. Sam is
dressing the human family in all sorts of
new, neat, fashi enable and comfortable
suits. Casteel still presides at the cutting
beard, which is sufficient guaranty for per
feet fits Call and zee the goods.
ACCIDENTS WILL HAppEN.--We have
often watched grain buyers in their anxiety
to buy crowding around wheat wagons and
besieging farmers a, soon as they enter
town with their loads Som etimes as many
as eight buyers crowd on one load, pulling
the bags about, opening them and examin-
ing the grain. all anxious to make the first
and highest offer And we have wondered
many time that more and serious accidents
do not happen to these buyers as they jump
on and off wagons while in motion.
We heard of an accident that happened a
few days ago. A buyer was standing on
wheel of wagon and the horses started off
yer; suddenly, twisting his foot and ankle
and spraining it considerable. He might
have been more seriously hurt, and made
very lucky escape.
