A Fat Woman Attempts Suicide.

A night or two ago a fleshy woman
residing near the CORNER Of Second and
Mulberry streets, being to41nented by
the pangs of jealousy, the depredations
of mosquitoes and bedbugs and the heat
of the weather, resolved to put an end to
her sufferings by committing suicide
Near her premises is a cistern containing
about twenty feet Of water, with a pair
of buckets suspended to the ends Of a
chain. The fat woman threw off h er
extra skirts and proceeded to the cis-
tern to execute her purpose. Taking
hold of the chain, she swung off, and
her weight-two hundred and twenty
pounds-carried her down with great
rapidity. She struck the water like
mighty splash, sinking some twenty
feet, and popping up again like corr,
but still holding to the chain. The
water cooled her at once and the reac-
ton operated upon both body and mind.
Jealousy and insects were forgotten in
the delightful bath, and with both hands
clinging to the chain, she amused her.
self by kicking her heels downward,
bobbing up and down, now sinking to
her chin, and then rising with her feet
near the surface. After amusing her.
self in this way for ten or fifteen min
utes, she began to feel uncomfortably
cool, and sought for some means to get
out. It was impossible for her to climb
the chain hand over hand, sailor fashion
and the only way was to call for assist
ance. Her teeth now began to chatter
and her voice was not loud enough to
be heard from the bottom of the cistern.
She tried the climbing process, and by
desperate exertion assembled several feet,
but her grip relaxed and she fell back
"kerchug" into the water. Her stua-
ton was becoming desperate, and she
becom ng quite sick, when, at length, a
neig.h.hor, who had been out Oh spree,
wen. =, the cisterli to get drink of wa

was not little surprised to M. that the

bucket, holding % the chain with both
hands, gasping and unable to speak,
He lifted her out, took her home, and
then went to another well to quench his
thirst. The woman is cured Of her
jealousy, and is better able to stand the
bites of the bedbugs and mosquito es,
having lost about twenty pounds Of flesh
by her hydropathic treatment We
withhold the lady's name, as she is now
in betterstate Of mind-CHi. ITib.

Iowa Half = Century Aro,


Charles Negus Is writing 1.-THE Early
History of Iowa." for the Iowa Anadis.
In the paper Of July, he says:
''Soon after the making of this treaty
(1SO4) the United States commenced the
erection of Fort Edwards, now Warsaw,
Illinois, within the limits of the recent
ly acquired territory, which gave much
uneasiness to the Indians.
"Some of the chiefs, with delegation
from their nation, went down to the
point, where the fort was being erected,
and after having an interview with the
commander, the Indians became appar-
emily satisfied and went home.
"They also erected Fort Madison on
the west side of the Mississippi, in the
territory not ceded by the Indians,
about ten miles above the Des Moines
Rapids. .......,...-..,..... J.
''This Fort was constructed by Colonel
Zachary Taylor, and named in honor of
James Madison, President Of the United
States.
"The building of Fort Madison at this
point, by any reasonable construction,
was violation of the treaty of 1905. BY
the eleventh article Of this treaty, the
United States had right to build u fort
in the vicinity of the mouth of the Wis
consin river; but that would not by any
fair construction, authorize them to con-
struct fort where this was located !;
and by article sixth they had bound
themselves that if any citizen of the
United States, or any other white per-
sons, should form a settlement on their
lands, such intruders shall forthwith be
removed. Yet the United States, not
withstanding they had made such stip-
ulations with the Indians, built Fort
Madison within the limits of their re-
served territory. This act Oh the part
of the United States gave great dissatis-
faction to the Indians; and not long
after its erection, party, of whom
Black Hawk was the leader, determined
to destroy this fort. Their spies having
ascertained that the troops were in the
habit of marching out Of the fort every
morning and evening for parade, the
party concealed themselves near by for
the purpose of firing upon them and
taking them by surprise when they
came out. About sunrise on the morn
ing Of the proposed attack, five soldiers
came ont, and the Indians, not waiting
for the regular drill, fired upon the five
and killed two before they could return
within the protection of the fort. The
Indians Kept up the attack for two days,
firing into the fort and endeavoring to
set it on fire: Sat finding their exertions
unavailing, they gave up their efforts
and returned home. "-HaWkE Eye.

ANOTHER Coon MEETING.-Another
Republican meeting, which was emf
nently good one, was held in the Court
Room at Upton, last Saturday after
noon. The fact that Republican eau
Gus was held at the same time in every
township in the county, no doubt, pre-
vented many from attending the meet
ing who would otherwise have done so;
but as it was, the room was we'll filled,
many standing throughout the entire
speech. Major J. b. Young, candidate
for elector at large, of whose appoint
ment to address the people but week S
previous notice had been given, was on
hand; and at the appointed hour was
introduced to the audience by Mr.. Jno.
Huber, chairman of the meeting, aud
made a most eloquent and effective
speech. Mr.. Young spoke for fully two
hours, receiving marked attention and
frequent and enthusiastic applause from
his hearers. He tore away the fiimsy
coverings of falsehood and deceit which
alone give rounded and life-Ii proper
tons to the dry bones of Democracy,
and showed the griRning skeleton upon
whose forehead is written revolution
and reputation in its native deformity.
His recapitulation of what the Demo-
cratic party, as an organization, has
done, and is doing and desires to do,
made every man who had ever borne the
once honored name of Democrat, blush
for shame as he saw the array of guilty
and reasonable deeds which have since
found sanction and support through and
under it.
He made an able and exhaustive ar
gnment upon the financial question;
showed the speciousness and inconsist-
ency of the Democratic cry of equal
taxation;" and treated the clap-trap of
NEGRO equality" with the contempt
which it justly merits, coming out bold
ly in favor of equal suffrage, as every
one must do who, divesting himself of
prejudice, seeks for right and justice.
The speaker closed his remarks by a
brief examination of the character and
record ofthe candidates upon the respec-
tive Presidential tickets, which was not
tiattering to Messrs. Seymour and Blair,
although he did them ample justice. As
we said before, the meeting was good
one in every respect; and we are glad
Mr.. Young is making such an extensive
canvass for he cannot fail to do rnuch
good.

LAST SATURDAY EVENING the Tan
ncr's Club made their first appearance
in uniform. They formed in front Of
the Court House with enough lamps to
make a fine display; aud marched up to
Judge Rothrock's residence where they
halted, and with cheers, called vocifer-
ously for Hon. j. w. Young. Mr..
Young responded and made All animat-
ed and appropriate speech, which was
received with cheers.
Judge Rothrock being called for, came
forward and very properly excused him
self, on account of his judicial position,
from taking an active part in the cam
paign. He, however, gave assurance
that his heart was still in the right
place, and retired amid another volley
Of cheers. Three rousing, ringing
cheers were then given for Grant and
Colfax, upon which the word was given
to march, and the company paraded the
principal streets flown and broke ranks
at the place of rendezvous. The next
Club meeting will occur Friday even
Ing, Sept. 4th, upon which occasion ey-
cry torch In possession Of the COMMITTEES
should be in use.
