FRANK & HERMAN.-When at Charles
City this week, we called into the
" New York Store" and found there
piles of goods just received from the
New York and Boston markets. The
New York Store has the largest and
best assortment of dry goods in the
place. From comparison of prices
we are satisfied that they sell as cheap
as the same quality of goods can be
bought at Waverly. Mr.. Frank is
now East, and is purchasing one of the
largest stocks of goods ever brought
to Northern Iowa We advise all our
friends, when at Charles City, to give
them call, and if Joe don't give you
the best Of bargains, then blame us

w. P. Gaylord Of Floyd county has
been nominated for Representative OF
the seth District composed of Floyd
and Cerro Gordo counties. The poll.
ticians of Floyd county, as well az
elsewhere, can be guilty of mean acts.
Floyd county had seven delegates,
Cerro Gordo three. Floyd county has
had the Representative the three last
terms, and conceded the claim of Cerro
Gordo to the nominee to be Just and
fair yet, because she had the power,
she has discarded justice and fairness
and ridden over her weaker neighbor
Can it be that the people of Floyc
county will sanction this action O
their political leaders ?-Neso Hampton
Courier.
Perhaps SO, and perhaps not SO
Not knowing, we cannot say. Strange
things have happened under the sun
and may again.

1t will be recollected that, few
weeks since we mentioned the circum.
stance of a man appearing in our
streets with three horses which he of.
fered for sale at low prices, and that
finding himself suspected of stealing
the horses, he fed with one horse, leav-
ing the other two tied in the street.
These two horses are still here in the
hands of Mr.. Holcomb of the Union
House. Since the arrest and sentence
of the horse thief MCCULLOUGH, it has
come out that the two men belonged
to the same horse thief organization
and had agreed to meet each other at
this place. But it again turns out
that

The District Court.

The District Court of Floyd County,
Judge Fairfield presiding, was in ses-
sion at the Court House in this place
during last week, and adjourned on
Saturday afternoon. Among the BUSH
ness disposed of was the case Of the
State Y. Shook, who was indicted by
the Grand Jury at the previous term
for selling mortgaged property. The
Court sentenced him to pay fine of
$500 and costs. The case of Har-
mon S. Baxter, previously indicted by
the Grand Jury for selling sheep that
did not belong to him and running
away with the money, was continued
on account of the absence of the prin-
cipal witness for the State, and the
prisoner was remanded to Bremen coun-
ty Jail. He had recently been brought
here from Green Bay, Wis, on a requi
sition of the Governor. In the case oil
the State v. Mahara, previously indict
ed by the Grand jury for violation Of
the prohibitory liquor law, the defend.
ant plead not guilty and took change
of venue to Chickasaw county-Judge
Williams district. DR.. Turse, indict-
ed for similar offense, plead not gull
ty and got continuance on the ground
of absence of an important witness
E. P. MCCULLOUGH, indicted by the
; Grand Jury at the present term fol-
horse stealing, plead guilty and was
sentenced to serve three years in the
Penitentiary. He is now on his way
to Fort Madison. The Grand Jury a,
the present term found true bill
|. against A. L. Collins for grand LARGE
ny (robbery of the county treasury
He was arraigned, plead not guilty,
and held to bail in the sum of four
thousand dollars for his appearance at
a special term of court in Bremen coun-
ty, November 18th. Two different par
ties were indicted by the Grand jury
at the present term for violations OF
the liquor law, and one for keeping a
gambling house. 1t is reported that
some of the hog and cattle nuisances
about town also received the attention
of the Grand Jury. 1t was notable
fact that there were no jury trials the
present term-all the causes disposed
of being decided by the Court.

The shooting and killing by one Ed
ward Moody, it is supposed, of a pc
liceman named Andrew Frank, neal
four houses of i'll fame about mile
above Suspension Bridge, Niagara

their entire contents. The policeman
had been called from his bed at night
to make an arrest at one of the dens
and on nearing his destination, was
fred upon, one bullet passing through
his head, another through his heart.

The tusk of a fossil elephant has
been found in marlborough, Vt. The
theory is, that he is one of those which
inhabited the northern part of North
America, having wandered across the
Siberian plains to the Arctic Ocean
and Behring Straits and beyond to this
country south to about the parallel of
forty degrees. Their bones show them
to have been about twice the weight
and one third taller than our modern
species.
