his skull and SO Infused him that he

thousand majority for the republican

Gen. Ed Wright Of Cedar, was nomi-
mated without opposition. The thun-
dering applause that followed tho an
nouncement confirmed the general
opinion that he Is not only the most
efficient, but one Of the most popular
State officers that ever trod the floor Of
the old Capitol.

older than he did in 1867, when he came
flying back to Iowa after being kicked
out of the Senate by the Southern fire

their tyranical course in regard to Kan

Hardware House of REtcHERr BROTH
Frs. This Arm began business in Tip
ton only one year ago last February,
and such has been its skill, judgement
and real business enterprise, that year
and half has seen the large trade with
which it began almost doubled, while its
operations have been and are being con-
tinually extended into new branches.
Commencing with only . large and
judiciously selected stock Of shelf and
heavy hardware, iron, steel, nails, &C.,
they have gradually built up nh i'm
mense trade in agricultural implements
of all kinds. For instance, last spring
this firm sold one hundred and two
large two-horse cultivators Of single
kind-the Black probably,
than any other other retail house in the
country sold of single machine. They
have also sold threshing, reaping ard
moving machines, to say nothing Of the
plows, &C.; and are now having great
run on the celebrated Anent farm wag-
ors, of which they sold seven In one
week. .
But there seemed room for more bus
mess, and they are now putting into o
large storeroom adjoining their place of
business, stock of stoves such as has
never before been brought to Upton.
This will be followed, on the first Of
next month, by full line of tin and
sheet iron ware; and that, speedily, by a
shop for manufacturing and repairing.
This looks like business, aud it is
business, rs all can ascertain who are in
need Of hardware, farming implements
from hoe to threshing machine, or
stoves and tin and iron ware. They
will always find Messrs. Reichert Bros.
Just the kind Of men to deal with, both
as regards the goods they keep, which
will | e the fullest assortment and best
quality; and as regards personal charac-
ter, which is courteous, prompt, and
perfectly reliable.

a feature Of our liquor law not gener-

have good effect in preventing the lille.

case tried before a justice Of the Peace

that "the plaintiff claimed some $500

Maple Of this place appeared for defen-
dent, demurred that the amount claim
ed was for intoxicating liquors

and could not be collected, and also filed
claim for $500 for q cross claim for
money previously paid by defendant,
received judgement against the plain"
tiff for S24.95. Thus it Is shown that
under our laws, not only are contracts
for the sale ofintoxicating liquors void
but that money actually paid out illegal.

OUR neighbor Of the West Liberty
Enterprise has been INDUCING In COM
parison between his thriving town
and certain of Its neighbors in regard to
relative growth Of population; and
among the rest, Upton Is mentioned IA
having underground decrease Of 200 In
three years, with the added conclusion
that, at this rate, ten years will finish
1t up.
Now West Libertyis smart, grow
ing, interpreting railroad town, and Mr.
Enterprise may well indulge in, self
graduation that his lines have fallen In
such prosperous place, but we don't
envy him the'necessity he seems to have
been frequently under Of soundly berat'
ing his fellow citizens for their lack Of
appreciation aud support to the weekly
enlightener which he condescends to
publish in their midst. And as for the
fearful results which he predicts for
Upton, his anxiety Is altogether unnec-
essary and gratuitous. Not year has
passed which has not materially increas-
its business, improved its appearance
and added to its wealth. 1t has not had
the mushroom growth Of railroad towns,
but the steady advance that kept pace
with the surrounding country upon
which it is dependant, and from which
there is no backsliding. -.
The population lost, II any, are not
missed from the tax list, while the pros
pee, is now better than ever for speedy
and most desirable railroad connection {;
and, altogether, no cause for desponden'
CIV exists. Therefore Mr.. Enterprise,
