We have received pamphlet Of ten pages
written by Gen. VIM. Vandever, Of Dubu-
que, upon the subject Of Discriminating
Railroad Tariffs and their Remedy. Gen.
". argues with grea. force tho right Of cur
legislature to pass.laws which shall protect
Iowa people and Iowa interests against the
expressions and unjust discrimination Of the
great railroad monopclies, whose lines cross
our State. lie also calls attention to the
immunities which railroad companies enjoy
in this State in the way Of taxation; paying
about one mill on the dollar upon very
low valuation of their property, while the
citizen is required to pay two aud QUE
half mills of State tax alone, besides school,
road and other taxes amounting to more
than one per cent. Tho subject of CONSOLE
dation is also touched upon, and the way in
which enormous additions to the capital Of
railroad companies are made, without q
increase of their capacity to
earn, the addition Of dollar to the value Of
the property, or extending increased facili.
ties to the public; but rendering new exact.
ions and expressions necessary in order to
declare dividends upon the fictitious CAPT
tai We shall find occasion to make some
extracts from Gen. Wanderers able argu.
ment soon.

ROBBERY NEAR QUAsQUEToN.-An old
gentlemcn by, the name Of David Hurd,

pears that he kept his valuables in tin

were kept securely locked. On Thursday
morning he found the outer trunk unlocked,
and the inner one broken open, and the
bonds, one Of the denomination of $500
and three Of 500 each, gone. Cotempo-
rary with their disappearance, Wary Bas-
sett, brother Of Mrs. Watson, and ma
son BY trade, who was also boarding in the
house, was found to have decamped, and
mas not since been heard Of. Bassett, who
has by no means a reputable character, be-
ing addicted to drinking and gambling, un-
doubleday purloined the valuables from the
old mans trunk on Wednesday, while the
latter was absent from the house. Mr..
Hurd started in pursuit Of the thief imme-
diately.upon discovering his loss, but re-
turned after going to Cedar Rapids, without
any trace. He has offered reward Of 500
for the arrest of Basseu, who is described
as follows
Six feet in height, eyes black, hair sprin-
killed. with gray, full black whiskers; had on
black clothes and straw hat when he
left.
1. is due to- Mr.. Watson's family to say
that they are respectable people, aud not

A BLuw Ip-NAERow EscAPE.-At an
early hour last Monday morning. Messrs.
r. Campbell, d. S. Dunham and Mr.. Scar
ing, a nephew Of the latter, here visiting,
started out to shoot ducks on the river.
Embracing in boat, they rowed some dis
lance above the railroad bridge, and after
an hour spent with various success, started
for home and breakfast. Mr.. Campbell
was sitting in the bow of the boat for the
purpose of getting shot at any luckless
bird which might come within range, and
Mr.. Durham was rowing. Mr.. Campbell
loaded bis gun and laid the flask, contain
ing three.fourths of a pound of powder on
,hwar. Of the boat, about three feet from
where he himself sat. In fixing the cap
on his gan i, happened to lie in direct range
Of the powder flask, and being accidentally
discharged, ignitcd the powder in the flask,
when noise like young earthquake and
sulphurous smudge ensued. When the
smoke lifted, it was discovered that Mr..
Campbell had received the backward flash
in his face, completely celebrating his
eyebrows, and lashes, singing his whiskers
and hair, and severely but not seriously
burning his skin. 1t was very narrow
chance, and Mr.. Campbell owes his escape
from death or horrible mutation to the
fact that the discharge of his g'.a drove the
effects of The explosion from HIM. He is
doing well, but is yet confined to his room.

The J. B. Skinner patent plows, Of which
there are three on exhibition, manufactured
BY Skinner, Briggs, Enoch & Co., Rock

EXCITEMENT AT WINTHROP.
Attespi to Lyaekd Horse TajsJ:

every kind, and not having been very sue.

what exasperatcd and wolfsh toward the
thieving gentry. The arrest Of horse tibet
few hours after the commission OF his
crime, and the bringing of him back to the
town brought this feeling to head on the
day mentioned, and like to have resulted in
an act that its perpetrators would have been
sorry for. sss ~

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases : the Throat and Lungs,
such r. coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,

Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints Through Il long
series of years, and among most Of the races OF
men it has risen higher and higher in their cstima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known as q re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and to young children, it is
ut the same time the most efcctual remedy that can
be given for incipent consumption, and the dan
gcrous affections of the throat and lungs. As pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, al
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought IN
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
case seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PcctOrnj. SO complete is its mastery
over the disorders Of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
fOr0t they Subside and disappear.
Singers aud Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
Asthna is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking tho
Cherry PcctOrnl in small and frequent doses
SO generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.
