Mr.. Evans, the father and Agent of the
celebrated Welsh Oratress, called on US
last week. We introduced him TO our
Welsh citizens, ard with others we engas-
ed his talented daughter for September
9th. An article in another column will
explain all. Miss Evans will address the
Prairie du Chen folks on September 9TH.
No ono who respects woman hood or who
is DESTROYS of arresting Intcmperance will
fail to attend. The young ladies should
invite their beaus to hear Miss Evans in
compliment: to their sex. At McGregor,
the excess above expense will go to the
Iowa Orphans Home. Let this most worthy
cause draw full house. Do not forget
that Mr.. Delafield of Milwaukee, will lee
ture on Thursday evening in the Congre.
gational Church for the benefit Of the same
good cause. The Lecture will be "Free"
to all, but collection will be taken up for
the benefit Of the Orphans Fund. If Mr..
D. comes here to address US without profit,
except the consciousness of laboring in
good cause, why not give him full house
and be liberal in our contributions for the
little ones whose fathers have fallen in bat

pectei City fathers, including Mayor and
Marshal, please fall down three or four
times on the beautiful right. hand side walk
extending from the Livery Stable to the
Corporation line: Perhaps one or two
upsets would remind them that their con.
stitutents do not like the appearance of
things. If . City cannot afford to "plank
down" for necessary improvements it ought
to 60 back to village hood. Don't you
think so, Mrs. Gr1ndy?
The Dubuque Times does not want rich
people taxed if their property is invested
in Government bonds at interest. The
masses Of its own party see the tax ques.
ton in another light. Chas. A. Barnes,
Of DEBORAH, on Monday last got two $50
bills Of Cashier Hulverson, put them in
his pocket with other funds and in walk
round the Square to Benton's Store, he lost
them. Information relative to this money
