LOCAL MATTERS.
THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

OF late years it has become more the GUS
tom to make purchases of holiday goods
before the rush commences, and everybody
is doing the same thing. This is wise, as
the buyer has wider field for the exercise
OF taste, and is much more likely to secure
bargains from the tradesmen. In order to
accommodate this class, shrcwd dealers in
Christmas and New Years presents pre-
pare their shelves and make their announce
ments somewhat in advance of the regular
holiday season. Advertisements of this
kind are already appearingin our columns,
with profitable results, and others will
doubtless follow to catch the early trade.
We propose this year to give notices of
Holiday Goods conspicuous classification,
and to call attention to them In this column
to the extent they may merit. Dealers
should therefore send in their favors as
soon as possible.

THE "HEATHEN CHIMES" OUTDoNE.-
From Western papar.] III the " Heather
Chinee" who imposed upon Truthful
James and William Nye were to extend his
travels westward to the Hawkeye State, we
are confident that the settlers Of Guthrie
county, Iowa. could instruct him in a
"game he did pot understand" A real
estate agent at Panora, Guthrie county,
Iowa, explains on the reVerse side of his
business card how 1t happens that the taxes
of nonresident land owners are so high in
that State. We publish 1t III full for the
benefit Of the afflicted: .-...
"High TaIes and the CduSe.-Nearly
three-iourths of the taxes IN Iowa are for
school purposes. How applied? In very
thinly. settled township, not more than forty
miles from here, man concluded he must
have school for his children. He applies
TO the Board of Sub-Directors Of the town
ship to have q new district set of, which
will place him about the centre and alone
In it.
"He next elects himself sub-director for
his district, and again applies for IN appro-
priation 10 build q school-house for his dis
trict, which is, of course, granted, amount
inp to from $500 to $1,000. This money he
uses to build himself two story house,
furnishing the upper story for a school-room.
He then uses the contingent fund to buy
himself cook-stove to heat the school
room. He places the stove in the lower
room, which he occupies for his dwelling,
and passes the pipe up through the school
room, where be employs his wife as teacher
for probably thirty or forty dollars per
month, and as there are no children besides
his own in the district, his wife has an easy
time. Thus the school fund furnishes MN
a home, fuel, employment for his wife, etc,
and the nonresident landowners pay Tor
it, This case is not alone, but many other
localities are afflicted to q greater or less

HoNoEABLY D1soHARGED.-Mr. W. F.
Rogers, judge of election In the second
precinct of Jefferson Ward, appeared be-
fore U. S. Commissioner Jenkins, yester.
day. to answer fer the offence for which he
was arrested on election day-viz. de-

dropping into the box instead another of a
different political complexion. There was
absolutely nothing to sustain the charge,
and the case was Of course dismissed.
Trumped up charge though it was, the

The regular monthly meeting Of the Me-
thodist Sunday School society was held on
Sunday afternoon, 18th inst, at the Broad
street Church. Notwithstanding the un-
propitious weather, the attendance was
good, and the exercises entertaining and
profitable.
The meeting was opened with prayer by
Rev. John L. Edwards, and singing was
led by the Broad. street Sunday School. An
address was made by Mr.. j. D. K. Sleight,
by invitation, on the subject Of "laying a
good foundation," enforcing the necessity
Of building the Christians character and
hopes on Jesus. 1t was highly instructive,
and made deep impression.
Prot. C.. Il. Winston followed, also by in-
vitation, in pointed address on "prayer,"
illustrating its Importance, and teaching
the Sunday school scholars how and when
TO pray, and what to pray for. The society
then appropriately joined il prayer with
Mr.. Winston.
After the return of thanks by the pastor
Of the church and the president of the So
ciety 10 the speakers for their valuable con-
tributions to the interest of the occasion,
the meeting adjourned.
