Hotel dAckley, to ain until the amount Of
the wages of their Sin can be raised 1t will
be some days first, We imagine. They were
butchers by trade.
LEGAL NoTlCE.-We desire to say to
the young member Of the Scott County Bar
and Of other bars, who laid his case upon q
bunk in our Job room. night before last, that
we neither keep q lodging house, a whisky
doggery, nor bank Of deposil. The change
which he deposited at the door of our CON-
posing room, though not "well calculated to
deceive" was not accepted but was carefully
placed in his overcoat pocket, where he can
now find it. if he has not already We would
advise him to handle it carefully. as it is Of
that kind OF composition that does not improve
in odor by over much stirring We would
further notify him that he had better be re-
turned mot found" about the premises any
more in the came condition, as we cannot be
made responsible for the acts Of those with
whom he migNt come in contact.
REMOVING TIE SQUA1TERs. The
Rock Island Aryus Of Wednesday says that
Deputy L. S. Marsha! Hill was here yester-
Jay, with orders from the IT, S Court to re-
move several squatters from the Island, viz:
Goodman, Grilfen, Curtis, Costello and Bryant,
or any one else found Oh the premises occupied
by them The dodge of changing tenants
won't do-the order Is to give possession Of the
property to the United States, to whom it be-
| longs. No order has yet been issued to remove
those "ho claim pre- emption rights there but
we presume that will follow, as soon as trial
| is had, for We DO not regard their pre-empion
claims as worth a single cent. Wehave never
believed any portion Of the island was subject
to pre- enption. and alway thought that those
who were making the effort to secure the is
land in that manner were fooling away their
time and money.
P. S.--We learn that Deputy Marshal Hill,
TO ether with Capt. Frizzell. Mr. Slaymaker.
J. Norris, D. c. Cunkle, Major Wilson, H.
Hakes and B. c. Smith, removed the effects Of
Goodman, Costelol. Curtis and Decker They
had resistance from any but Goodman and
Costello but the officers seem to have done
the work thoroughly. Others will be removed
to day. Uncle Sam seems to be in earnest
now, and all the squatters will have to vacate
as fast judgments Iare obtained against
them. II any return they will be imprisoned
for disobeying the order of the coar'

factory. Tae prospect now is favorable ior our
agricultural friends. and we trust it will con-
tinue 90. The officers Of the Society are de
termined, as we understand, TO change the
place Of holding the next Exhibition to more
convenient place. This is important. The old
grounds are not .he thing by any means.
We hope for the continued success Of the So
ciety aud trust that every farmer and every
citizen interested in the agricultural welfare of
the country will become member and take an
active part 10 furthering its prosperity. The
productions Of the farm. the dairy, the shop.
the kitchen and the parlor are called for to
swell the exhibition.
Let US see al engaged in generous. friendly
but hearty competition for the prizes to be
awarded.
