The death of little George was sudden and un.

his aunt Fannie picked him up and carried him
with her across the road to get some shavngs.
On returning with the shayings in her apron, and
Georgia on one arm, she put him on the ground
while she shut the gate. AZ soon as he was on
his feet, he started for horse that was near by.
Turning, she saw him near the heels of the horse

To the Citizens of Cedar Falls:


Presenting upon the proverbial
hospitality of the citizens of Cedar
Falls, the Methodist Church of this
place has invited the Upper Iowa
Annual Conference to hold its next
session in our town. They have &C.
cepted our invitation and have APP
pointed their next meeting in this
city, commencing September 7th,
1870. There will be present about
three hundred members of the con-
ferencs, official and other visitors,
Who are to be entertained. The ses-
sion Of the conference will continue
about one week. The undersigned
have been appointed committee to
arrange for the entertainment of the
conference. We do not presume that
the NJ. +. Church and congregation
can accommodate so many guests for
that length of time, but trust that
the citizens generally without regard
10 cnurcn relations, as In other places,
will aid us i'm this matter. We in
vite, therefore, any Of our citizens,
who are willing to assist in this work
to inform either of the undersigned
of their willingness to do so, and
they will be called on by some one of
the committee, and if they have any
preferences as to the persons they
would desire to he their guests, such
preferences will, so far as practicable,
be regarded. We would like to as
certain the names of all who will aid
us, during the coming week.

THIEF ARREsTED.-A villainous
looking individual was brought be-
fore Esquire Knapp yesterday
charged with an attempt to steal
money from the drawer, at Paul
Gering's on Monday of last week.
1t appears that this man, and two of
his accomplices, hit upon the plan of
getting Paul outside of the door,
while they made for the money. One
of them succeeded in so doing, while
the two who staid in side went for
the drawer. In their hurry they
pulled the drawer clear out and drop
ped 1t on the floor. then getting
scared, concluded to run without &C.
complishing their object. On the
Wednesday following, j. Taggert's
two horses in this city, Were stolen,
1t is confidently supposed, by the
same parties. Marshal Royce has
been on their track for the past seven
days and succeeded in capturing the
young gent above referred, to at
Ackley on Wednesday. He plead
guilty to the charge of attempting to
steal money Fat Paul Gering's and
was sentenced to 10 days i'm the
county Jail. The horses stolen have
not been recovered. We hope the
matter will be thoroughly prosecuted.
If the other two are anything like
the thief caught, we know of no
better place for them than at Fl.
Madison. The prisoner, who goes by
the name of James Dobins, was taken
to Waterloo by the Marshal yestcr-
day.

BeIli Bell! 7

Mr.. EDITOR:-I wish to say few
words in regard to securing a bell for
use in connection with the NJ. T..
Church of this city, before the Up
per Iowa Conference shall open its
session here, the 7th of Septembe
next. There will be Ministers and
others having business with the Con-
ference, to the number of near three
hundred, holding several sessions
during the week, and these persons
will not only represent every town
in the north east portion of Iowa,
but will be from other States and
eastern cities. and on the Sabbath or
provisions can be made for an open
air service) there may be thousands
of persons from this part of the State.
Now, what citizen would like TO have
these strangers enquiring. "Have
they no church bell in this city," or
Have they but one and that
cracked.?" Surely there can't be
much l1ubkic spirit, enterprise, or cVcn
piety, here" Constant confusion
would arise from the difference of
time in the families where ministers
would be stopping, and the want of
punctuality would be a source of
annoyance all through the business
of Conference.
And, now, bard as it is to raise
money for any purpose, and as i'm
portant as it Is to obtain the amount
necessary to secure the railroad this
coming fall, think there can be
enough raised to obtain one moro
church bell for this place, and that,
too, before there will be so many
strangers to go away and advertise
the character Of the place.
AS a member of the committee APP
pointed to investigate this matter
and If possible secure bell, would
say, that SO far, the committee have
had one meeting and have decided
that tie object is practicable, aud one
of the plans adopted to procure funds
is to hold one or more Bell Festivals,
which we hope all the citizens of the
town and surrounding country will
take full interest in. The commit
tee will give notice of the first one
in few days. What is done must
be done quickly.
Now, while the securing Of bell
would be of particular interest to the
M. f. Church, it will be of more than
general interest TO every person with
in the sound of its pleasant tones
and i'm times Of fire, 1t may be the
means of saving not only thousands
of dollars, but human lives. Let all
have mind to work together aud
the work viii soon be done.

Progress of the Iowa River RailMay


The completion of this Railway
from Ackley to Hampton, aud the
rapid construction of il at this season
to- Mason City win cause the rapid
development of several good coun-
ties and afford facilities for the tim
berless districts to obtain lumber for
buildings and fences. Next year that
road will reach the State line, and
the counties that have so long waited
for the iron wagon will never more
be without way to market.
1t may not be known to all our
readers that great part of the grad
ing is done by a very useful machine,
invented by Hon. Il. III. Williams of
Clayton county. 1t Is self.loading
wagons, and in use i'm the construc-
ton of many railroads. Ten of them
each doing the work of many men,
are making fast work In extending
the road bed day by day further
northward. w

TT. Dodge Cor, OF Dubuque Telegraph.
Figures and facts have demonstrat.
ed to other interior towns and cities
in Iowa the advantages of competing
lines of railroads, and the same de-
monstration will hold good In Du.
buque. For example: Since the
completion of the Des Moines Valley
railroad to a point near Fort Dodge,
one of our produce dealers had occa.
sion to ship n car load of potatoes
from Monroe. i'm Jasper county, some
10 miles south. This shipment was
made at S36 per car load. About the
same time the dealer endeavored 20
ship car load of -four TO or from
Waterloo, on the Illinois Central,
some 104 miles distant, and the low
est figure he could obtain was S75 per
car load-more than double for the
same distance. Again, at Ackley, in
Hardin county, they had connec.
ton by rail with the North western, at
Marshalltown, and thus established
q railroad competition, which has en-
abled them to pay from ten to twen-
ty cents more per bushel for grain
than at Cedar Falls, point sumo
fifty miles further east,

IN SEASON AND OUT OF SEASON
An ex-clergyman from Cedar Falls,
with the very commendable deter
mination to earn an honest penny In
the harvest field, made application to
a farmer in this vicinity and was ac-
cepted. On the morning appointed
he was on hand bright and early,
and when breakfast was announced,
the good farmer thought out of re-
spect, he would ask him to lead i'm
the devotional exercises. The invi.
tation was accepted promptly by the
ex'clergy, and, after searching the
Bible through, found chapter suit
ed to his views, but it unfortunately
happened to be the longest one i'm the
Bible. After giving said chapter a
deliberate reading, commenting and
asking questions to the family, he
nsde one of the longest prayers ever
heard in Black Hawk county. The
farmer concluded that wouldn't do

ing determined to try 1t himself.
something he had not done for fifteen
gears, ont on going to the house, the
ex'ciergy was found at his post, Bible

farmer told the good brother. he
thought short psalm would be APP
propriate In harvest, and he had
better just tell the lord what to do
during the day, and let the rest go
nnul another time, as tho moments
we're precious. They got an early
start that morning.

FT. DoDGE.-We had heard a great
deal Of TT. Dodge and its people but
never visited said place until last
week. The town stands, high and
dry, on beautiful and commanding
location. 1t contains some fine look
ing residences and yards, but we
were somewhat of the opinion that
nature had done more than the peo-
pie to make TT. Dodge what it is
now. We noticed a handsome school
building, which, speaks volumes for
the intelligence and liberality of her
people, but like many other towns,
we learned, that the building com.
mittee had gone far beyond their
means and involved the district in
debt John +. Duncombe has built
palatial residence of gypsum. If
the material proves a success and
ISLANDS the Storm it will be q Cali
fornia gold mine to the citizens of
that place. TT. Dodge has great
natural resources for wealth and
future prosperity, and with her re-
Gently adjusted railroad facilities, is
on the fair road to greatness. The
growth of the town has been retarded
by the exorbitant prices asked for
business lots; but people learn wis.,
dom by bitter experience sometimes,
and that difficulty is being overcome.
We had the pleasure of meeting Hon.
b. +. Cue, of the North. Hest, and I.
g. Irwin. of the Times, two of Iowa's
genial and wide-awake newspaper
men. The Cardiff Giant" was non
est. AS the Democratic Convention
assemblies there on the Sd of August,
il was supposed that lie had deferred
his visit until that time, ip order to
meet his old political associates.
