The Citizen thus glori6es Appanoose
county, and We say ditto TO the Citizen:
Though all oar neighbering COATES have
done well in the recent contest, aud it is no,
our intention to detract anything from their
credit, still we wish to call attention TO the
fact that Appanoose has given larger ma
iority for her ticket than any county that Dor
ders 90 her territory. With a population of
1917 souls, including at present only about
1900 voters, she has gained in the last FIVE
years not less than 800 votes for liberty and
justice. Before the war the Democratic ma.
.o>day she gives three hundred Of the grand
10000 which make Iowa the star OF the
West. Considering all the circumstances,
has any county done better? If SO, huff ced. y
There was bold attempt at robbery one
day last week in Pella. A gentleman stop
ped at the Ohio house, and when the proper
time came went to bed, and in the morning
awoke TO find himself minus pocket book.
containing s25 IS, and good silver watch.
On examination his pocket book was found,
but without money. A brother to the land
lord also had his room entered through the
window, which was frstened down the night
previous, and had his vaIise broken open, his
pants taken from under his head and search>
ed, but without success. In the morning he
was considerably surprised to find bis window
up and his door open, that he had taken par.
| teular pains to fasten the night before. No
clue has yet been found to the thieves. II is
supposed that chloroform WAS administered
in both cases Both had considersble money,
but the thieves did not happen TO find it. One
had two Thousand dollars with him. See the
