TOWNSHIP COLLECTORS. The action
indicated by the following preamble
and resolution, passed by the Board of
Supervisors at their last session is one OF
the most important, aud In our humble
opinion, one Of the most favorable to
the welfare of the county that was or
could have been taken:a
WHEREAS, The system. Of Township,
COLLECTORS has not proved beneficial to
Cedar county; therefore,
Resolved, That the taxes be hereafter
collected, as before, by the County
Treasurer.
This was carried by fifteen yeas to one
vote ID the negative, showing thst the
system has met with but little favor in
any part of the county. We are truly
glad that such action has been taken by
our Supervisors; and think that with the
efforts that they are making to have the
records Of our treasury fully corrected
and completed, and with the care that
is now being and will iii future be used
by the Treasurer to secure q thorough
collection Of taxes both old and new. the
people will find nothing Of which to
complain in the management Of that
branch Of the county business.

Ohio Versus Iowa

Hunter of the Hamilton Freeman,
has lust returned from a visit East, and
writes AS follows:
"Ohio has tlattering fruit prospect
this wear. But owing to continued
rains and cold weather the corn crop,
from present indications. will be almost
a failure. Winter wheat looks remark
ably well-presenting the best show at
this season of the year that Buckeyedom
has for many years. TO the Iowan It
looks strange to see the farmers of Ohio
and Indiana planting corn in the vel
low clay Of those regions. To our Iowa
ewes it looks more like preparing clay
for tho brick yard than coil for corn

The Mt. Pleasant Journal Of June IS,
says: During the term of the Dis
trict Court, held in this city the fore
part OF the present week, Mrs. Bell A.
Mansfield, A. b., of this city, was ad
mitted to the bar and authorized to
practice in the courts OF the State. Mrs.
NJ. is a young married lady, about "A
years of age, Is a graduate of the Iowa
Wesleyan University and lady OF
strong mind. That she has tho brains
and ability necessary to make good
record for herself in the profession of
her choice no one will dispute. We
presume that Mrs: NJ. is the first lady
admitted to practice law in the State,
and she must expect to be stared at and
remarked about upon all occasions, for,
YOU know, female lawyer in the State
of Iowa is something new. Her hus-
band, Prof. J. NJ. Mansfield, was also
admitted at the same time. We do not
know what the intentions of this couple
are, but if they see fit to swing out their
single, We wish them the greatest sue
cess. We publish below the report OF
the committee appointed by the Court
to examine aud report upon the qualiIi
cations of Mrs. Mansfield:
"lour committee take unusual
pleasure in recommending the admIs-
sion of Mrs Mansfield, not only because
she Is the first lady vino has thus APP.
piled for this authority, in this State,
but because, in her examination, she
has given the very best rebuke possible
to the imputation that ladies cannot
qualify for the practice oflaw. And we
feel confident from the intimatIon of
the Court, given OH the application
made, that we speak not only the senti-
ments of the Court, and Of your COM
mittee, but the entire members OF the
bar, when we say that we heartily well
come Mrs. Mansfield as one OF our mem
bers, and most cordially recommend her
admission. GEORGE b. COEKIIIIL,

advantages to the new patent Soda
Fountain, one of which can be seen in

are enumerated in the following extract:
One is it's freenex from all poison
which can hardly be avoided in what is
termed the gas fountains, yet these
fountains make as much gas rs them
Soda water will not sparkle and foam
without this gas. In this fountain the
gus is generated and is fresh at the mo-
ment of drawing for drinking, and
made of materials free from poison, such

in the gas fountains the principal article
used is sulphuric acid, tvitriol), which
rapidly destroys every kind of metal it
comes in contact with. This metal, OF
course, is carried out with the soda wa
ter, and persons have frequently been
poisoned in this manner. Those copper
vessels in the gas fountains, III which
the gas is generated, and those used I'M
der the counter, have to be re-tinneti
every year at cost of from SO to SD II
kept fit for use. This tin lining is drank
which is but little better than the cop
per, being frequently mixed with lead;
and further: it is impossible to manage
those gas fountains without using brass
cocks and lead or copper pipes; more or
less, sometimes. coils of lead pipes for
coolers, the acidity OF the gas constantly
cutting and coroding those parts, form
ing white leal aud verdigris, which is
carried out with the soda water and
dealt out to customers. All this is
avoided in these fountains, as the gas
aud acids come in contact with nothing
but glass, the gas being generated in the
glass at the moment of drawing, and the
acid is retained in glass vessels.
