evening, at Justice Bloois Office. Mr.. j. II.
Dalzell Was called 70 the chair, and Mr. 3.
8 Glaspell acted as secretary Of the meet
ing. The c,nmittee on Constitution and
By.laws made their report, which was 70
ssived. and after some discussion, adopted
II was not thought advisable to elect off.
Gers until all who wished to become men,
bpss had signed the constitution. On melton
Aessrs. A. Stedsn, L. e. 8urwell, and B. 8.
Glaspell were appointed a committee to wait
upon our business mc for their signatures.
The meeting then adjourned TO await the
action of this committee. This commi tee
will commence operations Immediately, aud
there will probably be another meeting this
week 70: The election Of officers and further
completing the organization. We can then,
as q city, greet our sister cities, and in mat
ters which come under tho control Of the
Board, be on an equal footing with them
Our busine men will find in this move, il
successful, something that will work di-
rect.y for tho.r benfi', and something that
will be sn honor to them and ths business
Of the place. No hope they will now take
hold Of tho matter, and make tho organza>
ton eifec i've in its workings and Objects
Let us by all means have live interest in
such things rs pertain to our own well be-
ing as the most commanding city Of the
upper river
Since the above was put in type We are
informed that tho projec. has fallen through.
The probabilities for Board of Trade in
our city this year ars very light--in fact we
may say exceedingly thin and visionary !;
yet We do not take back anything upon this
subject, but on the contrary We would re-
peat all with emphasis. Now that there is
no prospect for such mn Organization we
would ask Of all the buyers and dealers to
keep az account Of their transaction that at
the end Of the year the tradc may be esti.
mated. the various evils and injustices Of
the trade should now be received by buyers
and sellers with smiling grace. NV to the
Boards Of Trade Of other citics-we send
grseting-the spirit is willing, but small
dealers are strong.
GHAsrLY.-lf any one has desire land
every man hath desire, such as it isl to see
how he will look after he 10 dead, let him
station himself any evening In front Of a
drug store which has green bottle in it,
window. and, letting the light SHE through
this green bottle upon his face. he will get,
with the aid Of pocket looking glass, =
very correct idea Of the appearance he will
present after Death shall have tapped him
upon the shoulder To persons OF weak
nerves. the sight will be startling, for it 10
cadaverous in the extreme while the fact
Of being consciously alive, aud yet appear,
ing hopelessly de.uuct renders the effect
still mose appalling. For this reason We
think that druggists should dispense with
these hidsous green lights. Some other
color would be as che.p and as handsome.
DnoS.-We are panied to learn through
che Des Muines Register, that letter WAS
recently received in that city from Mrs.
Dixon, stating that her husbands eyes have
taken turn for the woSss. Many of our
resders are familiar with the brilliant write
ings of Er. Dixon while local" Of the
Register, ami with his subsequent afiliction
and the hopes that have been entertained Of
. speedy cure. We can only hope that the
relapse may be temporary, and that in the
fullness Of time his sight may be perfectly
restored, and his genial pen be found work
ing in its accustomed place.
