Equestrianism.
MEssRs. EDIToEs Being present at the
exhibition Of boys equestrianism at the
Dubuque State Fair, and noticing particu-
larly the contest between Adelbert Hitch
cock and LIE Roy Montague, was surpris.
ed to see in the Dubuque Times statement
that the first premium was awarded to
young Montague, when the committee
awarded them both premiums alike.
As disintcrested spectator l looked
merely to the manner of sitting and con.
trolling the horse, regarding grace Of ros-
ture and spirited riding as the essential
requisites. In these matters, conceived
that young Hitchcock took the palm, and
should have been awarded first premium,
and young Templeton the second.
Yours truly, ROBERTS.
P. 81 see the Dubuque Times has since
given the Judges decision as it really was
made-which divides equally the honor
between the boys. r.

GOLD Some one has said that "money
(and nothing is money but gold, silver, and
"copper" is the root of all evil" II this be
so, there is little reason why the people of
Iowa should be radically bad. But the
brokers at the east seem bent on utterly
demoralizing their population, having pre-
viously sent their home missionaries vest
ward. Some Of these brokers offer 1929
for gold. This is sure indication that
paper money is only worth II cents on the

take paper money in payment. Look for

1t seems that member Of Co. ga"
having just been married concluded to give
his felow.comrades treat, and they thcre-
fore repaired to a saloon near camp, and on
their return were met by twenty-five armed
men with bayonets-supposed to be men,
bers Of Capt. Myers company. These
men cried out damn you, you had better
run or die" or words to that effect. The
unarmed party fled, receiving the fire of
several revolvers without effect One or
two coming into camp, reported the cir
cumstances, and called out for help to res
cue those who were yet out. The deceased
was one of the first to rush out, when he
met the attacking party, and tripping in
the tent ropes, fell and was Immediately
stabbed with the bayonet twice-one thrust
being in the body, and fatal the other in
the arm, and flesh wound.
The deceased died on Sunday morning,
and was taken off the boat at this place on
Sunday evening-his company with three
others being on the Itasca on the way up
tho river. His comrades in the company
came ashore, and appropriate exercises were
held over the body on the levee, in the
stiffness Of the Sabbath evening.
The cause Of this lamentablc affair is yet
a mystery, though our informant, Lieut j.
A. Lyons, of Hardin, traces it to an old
feud between the companies, which he
supposed was healed.

gagement was fierce and lasted until dark,
when the rebels fell back in disorder
Federal loss 500 to 600 killed, 2 300 wound

killed, (including one general, fourteen eel

numbers wounded.

FILL UP THE RANKs-We understand
that but twenty-five or thirty men are now
wanted to fill up the independent cavalry
company, now being formed in this city,
We are also informed by Commissioner
Crosby that the raising Of one cavalry com
pany and one company for the 42d Irish
regiment, will certainly relieve Clayton Co.
Of any liability to draft to fill up the old
regiments. We submit to our fellow. citi.
zens that they owe duty to their country
to fill up these companies without delay
Should they not do this, and the effort to
fill up the company fail, the sixty who have
enlisted will probably subside into the
walks of civil life, and the draft will be
inevitable.
We have stated the facts it remains 70,
our readers to make the application.

Now Train may have the ''big head" or

that they knew he would speak in opposi-
