TO fulfill my promise ] drop you some
items from the center and hub of Iowa,
the Capital. o. ia. ..rg.- g,n
GOV, Stone has been here the last few
days on official duties. He looks care
worn. The late canvass was thrown
entirely upon his shoulders. He spoke
in sixty counties, and at one hundred
different points. He was the target for
the whole fire of the enemy. With the
negro question on one shoulder and the
whisky issue on the other, he boldly
and manfully stood up to the work UNI
der all the abusive fi.lsehoOds that were
hurled upon him. All this has been
may well be proud of her young Gov
ernor. His majority will not be far
from l6,5N, and was, Won by hard
knocks. The Governor isin receipt OF
many congratulations from high 0flic-
ials in other States for his brilliant sue
cess in the canvass and i'm the result.
Des Moines has lost some of her best
men within the last. two months by
death. Gen. Croker, Judge Gray, and
Mr.. Seeley, deputy clerk of the United
States Circuit Court. Charley Nourso
has been appointed by the Governor to
fill the vacancy in this Judicial District
caused 10y the death of Judge Gray. No
better man could have been selected.
The &otc R,yister is in full blast, do
ing good work for the Republican cause
found Frank Palmer hard at work
with his Orderly Sergeant Dixon, who
has returned TO his fathers house after
rcveling with the swine and eating the
husks at Burlington. He says that when
he returned to his fathers house they
did not make q feast and kill the fatted
calf. He says, however, that he is glat
he is back, calf or no cali, and once
more in, his element.
II is to be hoped that our Legislature
in its wise judgment and careful selcc
ton of officials, will keep Frank Palm
or, in his present position, that of STATE
Printer. Frank Is gentleman of higl
moral worth, energetic, faithful to Thu
Union cause, and the Republican part,
Of Iowa should honor him with o con
tinuancc of the position he so ably fills
paid u visit to the state House, an'
found Secretary Wright hard at worl
with q posse of hands renovating til
House and Senate Chambers, paintin
and papering, and giving them a gen
cral cleaning up. | should judge tn
rooms were thoroughly cleansed iron
| the communicating influences of the las
Legislature. ! have no doubt that il
very appearance will strengthen timi,
Republicans, and fire anew, give new
impetus, energy and devotion to tn
cause OF @Human Rights and its princi
plies; and .intimidate Copperheads, an,
put them to blush for their firc-in-thc
rear opposition. ...' ..'.-.'' '.' 49, 1910
I met our mutual friend Elliott, on,

Judge Wright, OF the Supreme Court
has bought property here, and viii
make this city his future residence. HI
formerly resided in Keosaqia, Van Blu
ren County. The Judge once though
of moving to Cedar Falls. Judge W..
majority will be the largest on the tick
ct. No man in the State stands higher
than he. A gentleman Of high mora
worth, of most excellent habits, and
marked ability, he is man who would
reflect glory upon any State. 4
Des Moines is Improving and growing
very fast, and is destined to be one OF
the finest, If not the finest, city in the
State. The improvements are good,
permanent and substantial. The city
needs d railroad more than any other
point in the State. Provisions, coal,
wood, house rent, &C., are very high
Butter, 60 cts; meats, 15G25 cts; lard,
40 cts; wood, $40 per cord; -four, sll
per barrel, and everything in about the
same proportion. The people are living
in hope Of having railroad here by the
winter OF 1867. Ground was broken a
few days since, near the city, with APP
propriatc exercises. May the day speed
lily come when the Capital is connected
with the outer world by bands of iron.
A good deal of interest is felt in this
section Of the State in regard to the Iowa
Central. The Des Moines papers, and
helpapers west of the Capital, are aid
ing all they can to mould public senti-
ment as to the great benefit that it will
be to the State at large. Push the work
and not let 1t drag. -
The United States Court has just adj
journed. A large amount Of civil BUSH
ness was cleared from the docket. The
case of Michael Gleason, one of the
inurtierers of the Provost Marshal of
