It is supposed that tho only way
ho could havc made way with him

to be discovered, was to have crawled
into a gopher hole, and then pulled
the hole in after him.

This magnificent Railroad has re-.
Gently absorbed the Pittsburg, Fl.

long lease, which gives them, under
one management, the most direct and
comfortable route from Chicago to all

over this route frequently, from Chi

'riably found the cars palatial, the
conductors gentlemanly and accom-
modating, the engineers and brakes
men intelligent and careful, while the
eating houses along the line are the
finest in America. Tourists and Gu.

A Good Investment

Has been made by moro than two
hundred persons in this city and sur
rounding county by taking out Life
Assurance in the Security Life and
Annuity Co., of Now York, and yet
there are thousands of people here
who acknowledge that it is duty
they owe their wives and children to
provide, for their wants and secure
them competency, while they may,
SO that in the event of their death
they may be amply provided for.
Again, if you have plenty Of means
a policy Of $4,000 is as good an in
vestment to make money as anything
else and as safe as the bonds of the
government, a fact which is becoming
apparent to our most prominent Fl
nancial, and shrewd business mon, as
will be seen by looking over the fol-
lowing list Of names OF persons who
hold policies in the Security for the
following amounts.
W. B. Armstrong, $1,000; W. B.
Bonnifeld, $1,000; Rev. John Boggs,
and wife, $500; N. Baker, $4,000 !;
E. L. Burton, IS, 900; w. H. Caldwell,
$4,000; J. w. Dixon, $4,000; J. w.
Higgins, $4,000; DR.. ]. G. Hinsey
$4,000; J. D. Ladd, 81, 900; Il. Moore,
$1,000 J. J. Willard, $4,000; w. A.
McGrew, $4,000; Jas. II. Rogers, &c.,
600 ; DR.. S. s. Smythe, $4,000 VIM.
T. Starr, $4,000; T. X. Shepherd, 49,
600; Edwin White, $1,000; J. NJ. He'd
rick, $4,000; J. S. Wood, $4,000.
The above named gentlemen are
only q few Of those who hold policies
in this Company, as Mr.. Il. White in
forms us that he has over two hun
drcd policy holders registered, and
heis still taking numerous applica-
tons for Assurance.
His Insurance and Real Estate
business has grown SO rapidly that he
finds it impossible 70 give the atten-
ton to the Life Department that it
demands, and he has therefore secu :.
red the services Of W. G. Holden, date
Of the Ottumwa courier), to assist
HMM this branch ofhis business, and
having one ofthe best Companies in
tho county to work for, we doubt not
no will meet with abundant success.

RUNAWAY.

One of the most frightful looking
runaway's which We have Witnessed
for many day, was that Of tho team
of W. g. Grimes esq, last evening
about dusk.
Mrs. Grimes was driving this Gle.
giant tcam, in q light covered car.
riagc, while Miss Tobias occupied a
scat At her side, when the horses be.
camcfrightoned alta COW at the road
side, just above the Court House,
when they dashed down the street
at u furious rate to opposite the rear
of Lawrence h Chambers store,
where the carriage was upset. throw.
ing Miss Tobias out, knocking her
sensoicss, from the effects of which
she is still in precarious condition.
Mrs. Grimes held on to the limos
heroical'y, in spite Of the buggy hav-
ing been upset, until tho team bro't
up standing, against wood pile,
when sho was taken from the midst
Of the debris at the bottom of an al
most bottomless pit, in the alley
back of Lawrence h Chambers store.
It is almost incredible to state that
she escaped without any serious in
jury.
We suspect that Mrs. Grimes is
the pluckicst horeewoman in town,
but still such high spirited team is
not safe with any woman at the lines,
especially when.in one Of those car
riages, with no way Of escape, except
to jump out in front, in case of run.

Capt. 8. A. Swiggette.

Capt. Hardy came into this city
this morning from Blakesburg, and
reports thatSwiggette last night was
not SO well. Capt. II. also brought
with him few lines from DR.. Boals,
the Physician attending Swiggcttc, in
which the Doctor says the case is
still critical ono. We say then to
our readers that by reason Of Cow
ardly and savagely inhuman attack
upon him by several persons, Capt.
Swiggette is now confined to his b cd
and unable to reply to the foul ca
lumnies that are being circulated ir
regard to him.
Having been acquainted with
Capt.swlggetto for ton years ormore,
and having served with him for three
years in the Same Regiment, the
writer of this article has had On ex
cellent opportunity to know Captain
Swiggett, and takes great pleasure
in saying that no was an excellent
ssldier, beloved by his command, and
respected by tho entire Regiment as
ia gontlrmanof hon or, integrity, and
ability.
He has been charged with wri-
ting letter in the fall Of 1867, to
the Mercury, o newspaper published
in this city at that time. We now
say that the charge is unqualidedly
false. He did not write the letter or
any lotter to the Mercury and if any
such letter was ever received at the
Mercury office bearing the namo Of
8. A. Swiggetto as the author, it is
forgery. Nor did Capt. Swiggett
send any letter to the Office of the
Mercury. The whole story is false.
Capt. Swiggette never in any man
ner went back on the Republican
party, but has been, during the
whole time Of his residence in this
county, an ardent, active worker in
the Republican cause, mono moro so,
and because of this active, energetic
work he has called down upon him
the bitter hatred Of the Copperhead
element in Adams township, CON-
prising as it does, some of the worst
spirits that can be found in the coun-
try. He has manfhlly stood up
against a venomous rebel element,
and fought it successfully, and now
no doubt because of this, he has been
set upon in an unguarded moment,
and cruelty and numerically beaten.
Captain Swiggett, at the election
two years ago, worked theoretically
for the election of Lotspeich and
Kirkpatrick, and his township Cad
ams), gave to these candidates its en-
tire Republican vote with nary a
scratch.
No truer Republican can be found
in the County than Captain Swig-
gette and we trust that the Republi-
can party will not listen to the false.
hoods that are lndustriously peddled
out against him.
LATER.-G. A. Derby esq, has
just como down from Blakesburg,

considered today, little better, but

After lodging over night in the
