pSnsios vs. caused BY . scarcity o.
D inters and absence Of the editor.
There Is nearly 200 sick patients in
the hospitals at Camp Frankl'n-m ost'
y measles and light fevera Measures
have been taken for the treatment Of .
few of the most severe cases in private
houses.-Dubuqus Herald.
Bro Prc.-An enormous hog, weigh.
ing $50 pounds, arrived yesterday from
Mopticelio. HIS hoeship wss too big TO
walk, and, like other dignitsries, vas
conveyed from the depot to Dunleith,
ia barouche TO be shipped to Chicago.
Droves Of cattle and hogs arrive daily,
and from appearances the live stock
business is actiye.-Dubuqne Herald
That Row IN THE 3sra.-The muse
at camp between Colonel Brush and
the 3sth regiment remains not exactly
stlled. The Colonel, it appears, is IN.
dependent Of the regiment, and the reg
iment ditto of the Colonel. BY mathe-
metical calculation it has been sscer-
tanned that tho Colonel has but two
friends in the entire regiment.
The Governor wanted him to resign,
and finally said he had not believed that
there could be found man in Iowa who
would dare to insist upon remaining In
office when called upon by him to resign.
The Colonel replied that he knew Of
Just one man-drs~ing himself mp to
his full height-and said he, that man
is before you!
The Governor was for once at loss
TO know what to do. Brush won't re-
sign and tho regiment won't obey him.
The Governor put the Lieutenant Colo
mel in command and so the matter rests.

AT least 81 500 has been expended on
the fair grounds, aud expenses Of the
Fair, and the Society after receiving the
appropriation from the State will still We
indebted about $3.50. This debt arises
from the fact that the Society paid the
full amount % the premiums awarded.
IL the Society had paid only about fifty
per cent. on their premiums awarded it
wonld have relieved them Of this debt.
1t is desirable before the next fair to
enlarge the trotting course, SO as to
make it even halt q mile in length, and
to build new floral hall and additio nal
sheds for stock"
This shows what little we'll directed
enterprise will do. Let other counties
take notice and act accordingly. Gene
raj Sargent. the President, has been
very active in the matter. We notice
that he took about $50 in premiums.
Mr.. w. Waldrich took about $50.
