BULLY TT is proposed to introduce Har-
dee's drill into the public schools Of this city
in the place Of the calisthenics now in use.-|
A good idea.
PRoxoTED. letters received from
Cape Girardeau, NO., we understand that
Capt. John G. Reed, Of this place, is now act
ing Major of the Seventh Regiment.
TDavid Hoyt, at G. G. Mahan's, has our
thanks for q number Of very choice ounces.
This is rare fruit, but the best that can be had
for preserves. We believe he has few more
for sale.
Yox K1puR, OR DAY OF AToNEMENT.-The
Jewish Day Of Atonement, which comes on
the 10th day of Tisri in the Hebrew Calen-
dar, began at 6 o'clock last evening. The
stores Of our Israelitish citizens will be closed
till 6 o'clock this evening.-Daily, 14A.
CAPT. JOHN II. WALLAcE.-We learn that
this gentleman has offered his services to
Gov Kirkwood, to enter and take charge Of
Camp Of Instruction, as soon as the State
Fair is over. Mr. Wallace has long been
known throughout the State as one Of the best
military men in Iowa.
ASSAULT AND Decentralization B. Stein
WAS arraigned before the Mayor Saturday
evening, charged with assault and battery,
on German named Hardman. Tho case
was settled by STEMS buying Hsrdman
new coat to replace the one he had torn
from him in the scuf1e.
ENLIsrsD.--Our old friend and former citi-
zen, Thomas ]. Farmer, late Of st. Louis,
has enlisted i'll Capt Compton's company
for the war. Tom. landed at our town first
in 1889, and takes great pride in its good
name. He had abundant opportunities to
enlist elsewhere, but came here to join his
old comrades in the glorious cause. Success
to him.
REcovIxlD.-We are grati6ed to learn
that the team of mules, supposed to have
been stolen from Mr.. Vincent Chambers, Of
this vicinity, at the Scott county Fair last
Tuesday night, have been recovered. It is
thought they were turned loose by . COM
petitor who had recourse to this dodge to
win the premium. They were taken up as
estrays on their road home. ,
TIE BLACK PLuMED RANGERs.-This COM
pany, organized at Lyons, in this State and
under the command of Capt. Ancany, of that
place, passed down the river last week on its
way to Burlington. This, we believe, is the
18th company in the First Iowa Regiment of
Cavalry. The men are all young and able
bodied, and Injured to hardships and toll, the
most of them being raftsmen by profession.
We shall expect to hear a good account of
these boys.
PETTY TH1Ev1NG. are continu-
ally reaching us of the depredations of gentle
men in the chicken and clothes business
Several families have been robbed of the
clothes that were left on the lines to dry, and
many a fat pullet has disappeared from the
chicken roosts within the last week. AS it
seems impossible to detect the miscreants, we
would advise people not to let their clothes re-
main on the lines over night, and say to the
chickens roost high.
D1sGRAcEFUL.-Ten or twelve rowdies en-
tered the saloon Of Mr.. Geo. Freymuser, on
Second Street, Friday evening, and without
any provocation whatever, attacked the pro-
prietor and gave him severe beating. We
hope the authorities will take the matter in
hand at once, and learn these rascals that this
kind Of fun must be paid for. There are 9th
er places at present for men to display their
pugnacity besides abusing peaceable citizens.
A DEsERTER.-C Corporal j. G. Bryant, Of
Capt. Reeds company, 18th regiment, passed
through here Saturday under arrest for deser
ton. He was arrested at Grandview, where
he formerly resided. He appeared to repent
of his crime most heartily, weeping likea child
and declaring if he can only get out Of this
scrape he will re-enter the service Immediately
and serve faithfully to the end of the war
Harry Compton, ESQ.,, accompanied him to
Davenport, for the purpose, we understand,
of interceding in his behalf.

A RELApsR.-We regret to state that Mr..
Hugh J. Campbel's wound had become so
much worse within the last few days, that
on Saturday it was thought necessary to
subject it to an operation. Drs. Reeder,
Thompson and Cobb were called IN, but
after probing the wound for some time 1.-THE
patient in the meantime being under the in
Auence of chloroform) they were unable to
find the ball. Mr.. Q. will probably be con-
fined to his room for about week.
lag The election in Capt Grants Compa-
pany resulted in the choice Of VIM. Grant for
Captain :. John W. Anderson for 1st Lieu
tenant, and R. r. Madden for I'd Lieutenant.
They are all tried soldiers. Capt. Grant is
a well-known and experienced soldien. Lieu
tenant Anderson served in the LIST Regiment,
distinguishing himself in the battle of Spring
field. Lient. Madden served through the
Mexican war, and was also with Company G
at Springfield, where he received a severe
wound, but is ready to take the field again
Good luck to them.
