On Tuesday # last week, the Key City,
of the Dunleith line, and the Keokuk Of the
La Crosse line, left st. Paul together, the
former with $40 sacks Of wheat, and rs
bbls Of -four, while the latter had not a
pound Of freight The boats ran pretty
evenly together until they got to Lake Pc.
pin, when the Key City readily took the
lead, and in clear run to Lake City, wa.
ter and sea-room being unexceptionable,
6eatthe GtoIaI t,co miles! The latter boat
refused to land at Lake City, and therefore
by the time the Key City got out into the
lake again, had nearly closed up the dis.
lance, when the Key City bid her rival an
afectionate adieu and went down to Reeds
Landing one and one.h half miles ahead Of
the Keokuk. From Wabasha to La Crosse,
the La Crosse boat made no landings, no,
even at Winona, while the Key City made
every landing besides an extra one to take
a passenger from raft, and reached La
Crosse but one mile behind the Kcokuk.
A party of cxcursionistS on the Dunle,h
boat highly complimented Capt. Worden,
Clerk Eldred, and the officers generally,
for their able and courteous manage
ment Of the boat, and for the handsome
manner in which they cleaned out the
crack beat Of the rival line.
On her trip up the Key City made all the
Landings, and ran from La Crosse to St.
Paul in eleven hours.

EDITORS Asour.-We enjoyed the pleas
ure of a call on Monday morning, from D
"A. Mahoney, Of the Dubuque Herald, (whe
is off on brief furoush from the care.
and labors Of conducting daily paper, ;,
and Gilmore Of the Star IF the Vest, New
Oregon who came thus far to see a friend
OIL on matrimonial expedition. We found
Mr.. NJ. very affable, engaging man quite
different from the gruff, splenetic, and bel.
licose character, which many of our cotem-
poraries have represented to be his normal
condition. We were much interested
in learning that he edited the first tri week
ly, and the first daily paper, published in
Iowa, the Dubuque Herald, and that
for fourteen years he has been almost
constantly employed in editorial labor, of.
ten doing the work Of political, CONNER
ciaI, and local editorship, unassisted Iii
not strange that with all this labor, his
health should have been enfeebled.
Gilmore looked hearty as a young buck,
and apparently prosperous. He repre-
sents his town as prosperous, content
ed, and happy, and SO we should infer it to
be, from the genial appearance of our in.
formant.
Later in the day we had pleasant call
from Jos. Eibeck, formerly of the Journal
at Elkader. Joe has been enjoying term
in the country with fishing rod and gun,
and looks happy as Magyar prince.

CAPITAL LUNCH. E. Brown, at the
Young America Restaurant, sets mos,
capital free lunch from 10 o'clock a. m, to
2 p. m. of each day, Sunday excepted -
his tables are nearly obscured beneath a
mass of cold meats, pickles, vegetables,
bread, pork and beans, ETC., arrayed in
most tempting style. We notice that there
is great activity in his rooms during lunch
hours, and an enthusiastic friend of ours
who ought to know, says il is to McGre-
gor, what Delmonico's is to New York -
Brown is a genius in the art of making
mankind comfortable, and the excellence
Of his spreads" is only excelled by the
bountiful and cordial manner in which he

PERsoNAL.-Spencer Ellsworth, former
ly Of McGregor, and lately Of Elkader in
this country, has driven his stakes SO we
learn, in the thrifty town of Lacon, ILL.,, and
has an existence henceforth as part and
parcel Of the merchandising firm Of "B F.
Felt & CO." Our readers will remember
Mr.. Ellsworth as an active, shrewd, driv,
ing business man, a gentleman in deport
ment, and in every respect an acquisition
to any town in which his lot may be cast.
We regret to lose him from Iowa, and con.
graduate the Laconians that "what is our
our loss, is their gain"
Here's hope for the best of luck to you,
Spencer.

Red Wing, when she babe her an affection.

QUESTIONABLE LOYALTY Not long since,
In Congress, John A. Bingham, Republican
member from Ohio, in debate on the tax
bill, made use Of the following language !:
WHO in the name Of Heaven, wants the
cotton states, or any other State this side
OF perdition to remain in the Union if
slavery is to continue?' We are Disguised
with these loyal men with an 'y." Mr..
j. can find plenty Of sympathizers in the
rebel states-they don't want the Gotten
states in the Union if slavery is to con.
t'nue," any more than the honorable gen.
tlemen from Ohio. Do the Republicans Of
Iowa sympathise with such reasonable
sentiments rs the aboveP We hope not
but fear too many Of them do as we have
nowhere seen any Republican paper taking
exceptions to them,

RUNAwAY.-At noon Of Tuesday, LIST
inst, as Mr.. j. Ii. Drips, was getting down
from load of hay, near Hills store. Main
street, his foot accidentally touched one OF
his horses, when the team took fright and
ran away. Mr.. d. fell across the tongue
and whitt1etrees, and the team ran down as
far as the Western House, one of the pro-
prietors Of which boldly seized one of the
horses and threw him, thus stopping the
team. Mr.. d. was severely but we infer
not fatally injured.

Cheap Money.
Like the leaves Of Alhambra in number,
are the showers Of paper money upon the
great northwest. Eastern shin plasters in
quantity sufficient to surfeit the demand,
weeks ago glutted the land. Still they
come. Added to this great supply, Con-
gress has its regular monthly periods of
grinding out $50, 100000 or SloO, 900 600.
What is the result? Cheap money
Gold is now selling at SOLO per cent. and
going off in European steamers at the rate
Of over million for each vessel. Proper.
~, both real estate and personal, will soon
have fictitious valuation. An unhealthy
imitation will seize upon all commercial
transactions. We shall have grand beau
sifnl bubble, in which every man shall see
bis castle. And after all this, there will
come, all without warning, a financial crash
from the ruins Of which many man will
never succeed in getting out
What is the remedy? We can conceive
Of none other than that of taxing this fic-
,ltious money so heavily, as to force it out
of circulation, and to limit the government
IN the further issue of treasury notes. 1t
is very easy thing for Congress to enac,
one hundred and fifty million dollars into
circulation by little ceremony on the ayes
and noes, and by no means difficult thing
to engrave and print these treasury notes,
but there is one other thing which is moi
so easy and that is the cancelling of them
Aye there's the rub"
We trust our Congress will have mercy
upon the people, and apply the brakes be
fore the loyal half Of tho Union gets
switched off into bankruptcy.

Wea lher. Markets &c.

The weather continues very favorable for
the growth Of the crops. We hear con.
fiicting reports in regard to the ravages of
the chiatz bug and Hessian fly, but incline
to the belief that there is unnecessary alarm.
Prices for wheat have materially improv
ed. Benton Brothers L. Co., quote No. l
wheat at 6S@72; No. 2, 65@67. This is
very fair price, and if it continues will
probably lead to the marketing Of the bal.
ance of the old crop. There is marked &C.
tivity in wool. We quote as s5@42, and

A DARK CAsE.-.n the 25th ult., wo-
man named Orvila Pifer, died suddenly
and under very suspicious circumstances,
at the Pennsylvania House in this city, and
the case coming to the cognizance Of Judge
Baugh of the Court Of McGregor, he i'm.
mcdiately empannelled a Coronor's Jury,
who had an investigation into the facts and
submitted the following report:
coRoNEE's VERDICT
To the Hon. Judge Baugh, Of tho Court
Of WcGrtgor:-Thc undersigned, jurors
duly summoned, empannelled, and sworn
to inquire into the death of person whose
body we found in the Pennsylvania House,
in the town Of McGregor, would make the
following report:
We find that the person was female by
by the name Of Orvilla Hifer, that she was
about % years Of age, and died on the 25th
inst. We further find that the cause Of her
death was inflammation of the UTERUS
that said inflammation Of the uterus was
caused by the introduction into the uterus
Of some hard foreign substance, for the
purpose of producing an aborton,-tha an
abortion has been produced upon her by
unnatural means.
From the evidence adduced before us,
we believe that John McMullen was the
father of said child, and that he (McMullen)
directly Or indirectly caused the abortion
to be produced, and that the case needs
further investigation. We therefore de,
mand that John McMullen be arrested and
dealt with according to law.
