can't see it the rest of the world can have
a sight gratis. Flanders has fixed up a
saloon in the Office Of the Evans HOTEL
lfG. II. Flanders don't get all the modern
improvements to his house, it will be for
the reason that he is not posted. A more

those who were not do not care. There

fix it. Running trotting match is no
good way. Many prominent gentlemen
from DEBORAH, West Union, Lansing, FL

Our city, the past week has been unusu-

visitors, Everett Chamberlain of the Mil

reporter of our Cresco- Cambrian Hall DEM

handled in most interesting manner We
have neither space nor time for synopsis;
it is not our habit to report sermons or
lectures: receipts between $50 and 500.

Chapman & Co., have sold their family

The Elkadcr Journal is unusually inter

Gov. CUE Of the Fort Dodge North Vest,
an elegant satir-ism for putting all his OK.
changes in the anticipation Of being can
didatc for Governor or U. S. SENATOR
each orc of Thorn is the best if not one
of tho best each one is spicy and an
Interesting sheet Thi. reminds us of
some styles Of local advertising, where
"Brown is selling better stock than any
man west Of New York. and "Sm;th is
excelling everybody in tho Same line of
trade. Old Philip Duttcrow, Of Warren
Co., Ohio, was hunter and an oddly,
when the writer Of this was boy we re-
member to have heard it told Of him that
on his return from a wild-turkey raid, he
said to Observation-Disclosures was Ger
man by persuasion-"I shot Mt de biggest
turkey ever saw and kidnapped mine
gun at tam sight pigger one!' This is
about up to the style Of modern paid-for
pufs. We blame nobody about it, nor
should Mr.. GuE be scoldcd if he has sud-
denly found that all his exchanges are the
best he ever saw. Iowa has the best lot
Of newspapers that any state can boast !;
We challenge our Outside contemporaries
10 o comparison. For mechanical skill,
local interest and commercial value they
area No. !.
"Jo' insists that If the radicals up this
way want to have any influence in tho
state, they should unite on some candidate
for Governor. This is what We have been
telling them all the time, but they won't
listen. To illustrate: In the summer Of
'62, when the war fever was away up, and
children, even, were marching in military
style in the street, we passed one day
troupe of pretty little girls who were in
military confusion, ranks broken, "demor-
alized," &C., &c. One Of them, now
young lady Of our place and most estim-
able one too, came up and said, "Colonel,
can't you help US out Of our trouble ?''-
Said l, "what is the matter p The naire
reply was "why We all want to be Cap
tain!'' So with the RAIDS in this state
they all want to be Governor.
Gen. Baker says he is willing to be re-
elected and we notice number of the cen
trail Republican newspapers are going for
him. Anterior Of the Mitchell Press in
troduced him to the public and he ties to
him yet. Ton is not famous for sticking
firmly to position, but he may think
proper to stand by the Adj't General to
the bitter end. Col. Merrill has just re-
turned from a trip to Washington and we
therefore conclude he is not making him
self very busy about the nomination.
"JoE's" Journal contains communica-
ton signed by Cornelius Ryan Mr..
Ryan is an ardent Fenian and he scolds
the NORTH Iowa TINES for its consistent,
original and all-the-time opposition to the
now-demonstrated folly of Fenians. We
were cursed years ago for our opinions
and the cursers have since told US we were
right. Ryan will wait few months and
then he will have as much sense rs the
rest Of mankind.
