Tus TRuTB-The easiest fitting boot
that man ever drew upon his foot is the
boot made on the Pluuer last. The reason
10 simply this: the Plumsr last is made on
scientific anatomical principles. It Is shap-
ell like the human foot, consequently when
you put on new boot made on this last
there 10 no torturous "breaking in" TO be
endured the ct 10 perfect; the bottom Of
boos conforms to the bottom Of the foot
supporting the direct and transverse arches
thereof 20 that no twinge Of pain ensues.
We have worn these boots constantly for
three years, and never had new pair that
gave the least or annoyance in 'breaking
in" and we cordially recommend them -
every body who has any regaad for their
feet. The Plumer boot 10 made BY W. G.
Warmer on Brady street above I'd. Hun
dreds Of our citizens have tried them only
to be more than satisfied, and others should
b likewise.
TnE Posr NAsrERsaiP. .-Latterly Mr..
Russell has been using the 0asetts to make
unbecoming 6ings ct Gen. Sanders, be-
cause he went to Washington City. This
morning Mr. r. again alludes to the Gener-
a, but in . different strain. Heis now con-
vinced that something has happened-that
Gen. Sanders has his commission a. pot
master Of Davenport. in his bresches pock-
ct and will soon be home with it.
Mr.. Russell has to leave the Post Ofice
not Of his own free will. He has shown
imself in IN unenviable light He used to
insist that worthy soldiers should be re-
warJed with the Offices. That was noble
It sho~ed . manly heart. But when .
brave man, wounded and worn down in his
country's service, came home and asked for
the position-hundreds more Of our best
.itissns asking with him, Ar. Russell says.
no you can't have it il can prevent it -
That vas ignoble; it betrayed the sneaking
hypocri.e.
But the administration has informed Nr.
Russel that he "ean't present It." and that
he must leave, and give the soldier room.
No petition from Supreme Judges, nor
State officers, nor Congressman, can save
him, and 10 hope to hesr no more blub-
bering and whining about it either. Deliver
over the keys whea asked for with - good
grace - possible; 80 back TO your paper
business, and never again attempt to preach
what you are unwilling to practice.
A GEOLOGICAL SunvRY NsRDRD.-A late
issue Of the Dubuque Times. contains the
able and scientific lecture Of DR.. c. A.
White, Of Iowa City, delivered at Rurling-
ton short timc ago, under the auspices Of
the State Agricultural Society, on 1.-THE
Soils Of Iowa and their Origin" A more
valuable and interesting document has not
been placed before the Iowa public for
uAny months. The aus or Is svidertly
familiar with his subject, and in the most
mastery manner, indicates the benefits
which proper study Of the Geology Of our
State is calculated to confer upon our agri
cultural classes, and through them. upon
our whole population. He desires to give
pr. ninencs - the fact that science 10 not an
abstract study, bat one which is applicable
to The commonest every day events. No
one can carefully peruss his production
without being convinced that complete
