Losr.-On Tuesday last, May 1lth, OH
Brady street, between I'd and Sd, ladies'
mink fur collar. The finder will be libcr-
ally rewarded by leaving it at the Grover &
Bakers office, over Wadsworth's store,
corner Of I'd and Brady street.
Higgins and Wallace, who
wcro arrested on charge Of having waylad
and robbed James Cartwright, in the streets
Of our city on Sunday night, are in Jail,
awaiting the movclncnto Of the police. Their

TIE DRAFr.-Major Duncan, Provost
Marshal General Of Iowa, has received in
structions from Washington to commence
the work of correcting the enrolment lists
of this State, which he will proceed to do
as soon as the proper preliminarics arc az.
ranged.
Mrcm NEEDED.-It is with much satisfac
ton that we notice the fact that the old d.
ladidatcd side walks on Front street between
Main and Brady streets, is being brought to
grade and the rickcty panks are to be chang
cd for new and substantial ones. There
arc many places in the city that need drcplac-
ing in the same way.
PERsoNAL.-J. S. McCunc, President Of
the St. Louis and kcokuk Packet Co., Ben.
Stickncy, proprietor Of the Planters House,
and Messrs A. Wilgus and j. McGonnigal
all of st. Louis, are on a visit, or fishing
excursion to our city, and are stopping at
the Burtis House. A pleasant time to you,
gentlemen.
IT don't make any difference who is the
next man or where he does business, the
fact Of the matter is, the best place to get
your clothing for summer is at Sam Perry's.
lie has the largest stock-thc best stock
sells cheaper, manufacturers better than
any other merchant tailor in Iowa. Store
opposite the Post office.
LOOK orr FOR FuS.-UNeil & Gardeners
Minstrels open at Metropolitan Hall tonight
with an array ofEthiopean tale mt that is un-
surpassed in the country. They have the
hest banjo, best ''bones,' the best singers,
and confessedly the best dancers that are
now travelling. Everybody that wants a
hearty laugh should attend. 1t will do you
good.
CRowDEp.-The stock shipping business
on the NJ. & N. road is taxing the facilities
of the company to the utmost. Every day
long train of cars come in from the west,
and Mt this time over thirty car loads are
awaiting shipment at Grinncll
The passenger business, ALSO continues
to increasc-all the coaches being kept in
motion.
TuE Ag.ExAL.-Thc work of carrying up
the walls of the Government Arsenal on
the Island, progresses slowly. The late
prevailing high winds, preventing the con-
tractor from floating stone down from the
quarrics at LcClairc, taken in connection
with the scarcity Of help keeps the work
back. Two or three courses only Of mason
ry have been laid. 1t is thought, however,
that the walls will be carried up and the
building enclosed before next winter.
Scorr CouSrY.-The action Of the Board
Of Supervisors Of Scott county, in coming
promptly up to the mark and voting sum
sufficient to pay . bounty Of $50 to each
man who cnlists in the service Of his coun-
try for the term Of ono hundred days, is
Just what is required in this emergency
Men will not enlist without bounties. Why
they will not is not pertinent. In order to
raise the quota Of the county is this hand
some appropriation made, and now, within
ten days, we expect to see our cOanty's
quota filled to the brim, whatever that num-
Der may be. We understand that recruit
ing has received I great impetus since the
action of the Board.
