Look out for Your Waterfalls.

"ese from our exchanges. that the
thieves of this country are UP to many new
lodges recently to carry out their evil de-
signs. We notice i'm one locality they
have turned their attention to.waterfalls. >
not mill sea, but the surplus hair car
RED on the back of the head by the fair
sex generally. For this purpose the scoiln-
drels carry sharp knife, which they use
as defensive weapon i'm case of attack,
and to relieve ladies of that fashionable
excrescence known as waterfalls. 1t is
said that they use the knife with the tiex-
terity of a painted savage on tile war path.
and with a flourish Of the scalptng Knife
take flte waterfall frorna lady's head close
to the skin, and sometimes perform the op-
Grafton with so much dexterity and de1f-
cacy thatthe lady only discovers her loss
wsstn' her head drops uport' her BOSOM
having beer deprived of its counterbal-
ance. The value o. Ne haul made bv the
thief of course varies, ii fs' IL all a matter
OF chance. But it is said to he a go6P wa
terfall that will not yield from five to eight
dollars worth of hair besides ssundries.
In Utica we notice they have gone to
snatching mutls, which pays better. as
they are still m Dra valuable. The thief. as
he presses lady ut dusk has no diilicuI-
ty in snatching muff. as most ladies' car

Ottumwa and st. L. & G. R. r.

What do the citizens Of Ottumwa and
vicinity intend to do about the st. l.. 4 c.
RI Railroad? This important question is
now perdfng. To secure this road it will
be absolutely necessary to raise $50, 400,
arsf si0o, 900 would be better. The money
can bs'raised with all ease. if everybody
will subscribe in proportion to their
means. There is II good deal of capital
here. Ten per cent on the assessment OF
this township would produce "A large sum
and where is the man who would not will
ingly pay that portion of his wealth, to
enhance to double the amount. the other
nine tenths? We should like to see. that
individual?
Let one thing he borne i'm mind. OTHER
localities are moving in this NATTER. aud
are doing more than we are. They will
Beat US and secure this rich prize if we
don't look out.
iIet us not rapose' in security upon the
advantages OF our location, imagining
that that alone will carry us through. 1t
will not do it. We must subscribe large
ly if we would make IA sure thing Oft.
Go'right ssl6irg, tlisn, to Maj. Hamilton
and put your names down for the ten per
cent ofyour means. Don't wait for one an
other. Don't let the men OF moderate
means wait for the capitalist, or the capt.
talists for the men of moderate means. We
are interested alike. This great project
must be pushed forward. We must have
this road, and then our destiny will be as
surcd.
We are the architects OF our own for
tunes. If we don'thelp ourselves. We cam
not expect help from others. This is en-
phatically the tide i'm our affairs. Let us
take it at the flood, and ii will lead MS OH
TO fortune. Don't let our Western more
active neighbors beat us in this race for
pre-eninence.

The Recent Elections.

The tirst reports of the election have now
been confirmed, and we can now rejoice
over the most decisive and brilliant pO-
litical victories ever achieved i'll this
country, victorys which, when all the
opposing agencies and the tremendous in
terests ut stake are considered, are truly
such rs to cause every patriot heart to re
joice and give thanks to the Giver of al
good.
Ikisimpossible to overcstimate the i'm
portance of the verdict which the people
have thus rendered upon the great and
momentous ISSUES presented. The loyal
people, soldiers and civilians, have united
in the support Of the principles Of the par
ty which have stco by the country and the
Union through the,War, and they have
said e,aphatically, that their party. so pa,
triotic, so devoted. so efficient and reliable
during the War, cannot be spared now
that the war is over. They have said that
the party which saved the country, is the
party to whom the work of reconstructing
the country may most safely be entrust-
ed. In short these elections teach the inn
portant lesson that the Republican Union
party has the confidence of the loyal mas
ses of the country and will be looketlto,
to finish the work so far gloriously and
successfully prosecuted. ..... 49,. g..
But the endorsement and support Of the
Republican Party, is not more emphatic
and significant, than the Reputation and
condemnation Of the Democratic Party
