Pretty soon-look out nowhere will
be caucus of the democrats of McGregor
for Mayor and oil other City offices. lie,
every ambitious man be on hand to pros.
ecute his claims or those of his friends
See notice. Clarke, Townsend, Hammer,
Jordan, Kinnaird, Peterson, Henke
o'Brien and several others are spoken Of
Either of them will fill the position
creditably. For Marshal we hear the
names of Neeze Hopkins, D. O'Brien and
Phil. Heck. On the Republican eide,
Elmendorf, Bassett, Lefingwell, Jerry
Merrill, H. W. Burlingame and A. Pear
sail are suggested for Mayor; D. Drum.
mond for marshal. By next week we can
tell more about it. This is presidential
year and our folks can not afford to be
defeated.
Senator Fellows and Representative
Miller, of Allamakee, called in see US the
other day on their way home from Des-
Moines. Gov. Merrill and Senator New
ell came home on Saturday night. The
McGreger Band was at the Pr. du Chen
depot to meet them; airs were played,
brief speeches delivered and gentle sup
ply OF eau de vie closed the ceremonies.
We are in receipt of Feby. l4th Coun-
Gil Bluffs letter from Line P. McKinnie
now on his tramp to Cheyenne. Its receipt
is too late for this issue. The western
"Disbanded Volunteer" and our late war
correspondent is o. X.
Our new Ads. invite your attention,
Please look at them; MARTIN wants
agents. I. Updegarf wants to invite
bankrupts to call on him.
Legal Notices are prominent. Col.
Brisbois is in the Hop bushes for Sank
County Wis.
Fred. Douglass will lecture on Tuesday
evening, Feb. 25th; at DEBORAH on the
Oath, His theme will be Selfmade
Men, Since the late wedding of mulat-
tos in Saint Louis, we see no reason why n
man of brains like FRED should not have
an immense house. The St. Louis affair
was equal almost to the crowned heads oil
Europe. Eighteen Catholic priests were
required to unite the semi-sablc pair the
paths to the church were carpeted the
cloth for the brides dress cost Sl4OO; the
veil only 5000; the earrings $4,000, and
other things in proportion. The organs
did their best, Bishoph Hsnnesey presd-
ed, &C., &c. If money can remove the
color prejudice, why should not FRED's
brains draw full house?
The Concert by the McGregor Band will
call out the best portion of our city; we
say the best, because in addition to the
pleasure which the music will inspire the
consciousness of aiding the poor Of our
city will be an incentive to all good hearts
to attend.
Mr.. Benton will not be prepared to lee
ture on Wednesday of this week. Notice
will be given hereafter.
j. B. Conant is now ready to see every
body in America, provided they do not all
come at once. His rooms, in Times Block
are in trim for any number of day-board-

or ale, quick meals and genteel treatment
of any kind. Acquaintantces and strang-,
ers are respectfully invited to call. Free
Lunch every day. Meals served to order
at any hour.

HOUSE FOR SALE.-Our long time
friend and near neighbor wishes TO go
farther south and west. He will start in
March. He offers his residence at very
low figures for cash. A good team will be
taken in part payment. The residence is
new and complete in all conveniences; we
do not know of any property in town at
SO low price. For particulars enquire
at the TINES Office, foot Of Main street.

The Husband.

Ihe HuSDanu
The husband is the very roof-tree of
the house-the cornerstone Of the edilice
the keystone of the arch called home.--
He is the bread winner of the family--its
defense and it's glory-the beginning and
ending of the golden chain of life which
surrounds tits consider, its lawriver,
and its king. And yet we see how frail is
that life on which so mich depends. How
fraii is the life Of the husband and father !?
When he is taken away, who shall fill his
place ? When he is sick what gloomy
clouds hover over the house . When he is
dead, what darkness, weeping agony =
Then poverty, like the murderous assassin.
breaks in at the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. like
a furnished wolf, bowls ut the door. Wild
owhood is too often an associate of sack
cloth and ashes. Orphanhood too often
means desolation and woe.
AN OLD LADY's ADVICE.
"Now, John, listen to me. Never do
you marry young woman, John, before
you have contrived to happen around four
or five times before breakfast. You should
know how late she lies in bed in the NOR
ming. You should take notice whether
her complexion is the same in the morn
ing as in the evening or whether the wash
and towel have robbed her of her evening
bloom. You should take care to surprise
her, SO that you may see her morning
dress, and observe how her hair looks
when she is not expecting you. If posi-
Bile, you should he where you can.hear ths
morning conversation between her and her
mother. If she is ill-natured and snap
pish to her mother, so she will be to you
depend on it. But if you find her up and
dressed neatly in the morning with the
same smiles and neatly combed hair, the
same ready and pleasant answers to her
mother which characterized her deport-
ment in the evening, and particularly if
she is lending hand to get the breakfast
ready in good season, she is prize, John,
and the sooner you secure her to yourself,
the BETTER"

Thad. Stevens.

Thad. Stevens.
The Worlds correspondent had per-
sonal interview with Thad. Stevens yestrr-
day, the details of which show that Ste
vens considers the President liable to i'm
parchment, and that he (Stevens) was not
disappointed in the vote in the committee
by which his resolutions were tabled, as
his long experience enabled him to know
every coward in Congress.
STEVENS AS A PROPHET.
The New York Tribunes dispatch says
When the vote in committee had been
declared against Stevens resolution of i'm
parchment, Mr.. Stevens said Sir, the
Republican party has been killed to-day,
by the action of this committee, at the in
stance of Gen. Grant and his friends.
have found that, fer the last two or three
days, the men who shout the loudest and
throw their hats the highest for U. s.
Grant, have been using every exertion to
demoralize Mr.. Bingham and the other
members of this committee who were sup
posed to favor impeachment-that Gram
has been using his influence everywhere tt
defeat the scheme, and that Andrew John
son has to thank him that he remained un
disturbed in the White House. l hav'
been in public life for forty years, ant
though do not pretend to any gift 0
prophecy, have seldom been mistaken il
my predictions. ! tell you that to-day
cowardly action will cost us New York
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and probably three
or four more of the Northern States. !"

Allowance of Claims.
The Chicago Journal, tho radical, can.
not quite endorse every radical measure
for depicting the United States treasury
This is evident from the following notice,
which talks of a class of claims that are
being urged on Congress
Mr.. Washburne will doubtless save i'm
mense sums to the Government by his war
claim policy but we regret to see dis
position to depart from that principle of
economy by allowing an old Seminole war
claim, solely because the claimant is the
wife of Gen. Anderson, the hero of Fort
Sumter. If the services Of that gallant
officer have not been compensated, SO far
as money goes, then let him receive more
but we protest againsc giving his wife
$l5, 900 on a claim which cannot be sub
stantiated. 1t is wrong in itself, and ex-
ceedingly dangerous as precedent.
OF kindred nature. and open to essen
TALLY the same objection, is the PROPOSE
ton of the Kansas member Of Congress,
Mr.. Clark, that the committee on Pensions
shall inquire into the expediency of plac-
ing the widows and children Of persons
murdered during the rebel raid on Law
renee, on the pension list. The Lawrence
massacre was an awful affair, being on a
small scale, what Chicago would have ex-
perienced had the plot to liberate the
Camp Douglas prisoners, burn the city and
butcher the people, not been frustrated
but, if it is just to place them upon the same
footing as our slain soldiers, then Con
gress should pay for all the horses and pro-
perty stolen by Morgan's raiders in Indiana
and Ohio, and all the property stolen o.
destroyed in Pennsylvania and Maryland
by Lees invasions, and place the familie:
Of all the loyal persons slain by the guer
rillas and bushwhackers in Missouri, Ken
lucky and other States on the pension lis
ALI of which would require three hund
red millions, at the very lowest estimate
For such incalculable additions to the pub
lie debt, the country is not prepared, ant
against them Congress should be on guar'
and steadfast in its position.
