Of Selectmen removed by death since our
annual election in March. Mr.. WEIGH
was taken early in the year, and now Mr..
Sheldon-tho second and first on the
board--both prominent business men
both holding the highest confidence of the
people. To mans shortsighted vision it
would seem that Mr.. Sheldon, of all
men, should remain to bless mankind with
his sound practical sense, his self.sacri-
fcng generosity, his correct example, his
public spirit and enterprise. But Gods
ways are not our ways, and we must bow
in submission Mr.. Sheldon leaves q
large circle Of relatives and friends to
mourn his loss. We tender to them our
sympathies. The funeral will be attend
ed from St, Stephens church this Tues
day. afternoon at 5 o'clock.

Evidence before the Coroner's Jury
to-day, very plainly showed that the
extra freight train which collided
with the passenger at Eureka on
Thursday morning, was running out
side of instructions, and had used
from ten to fifteen minutes more of
the express trains time than the
special orders had allotted to it. The
conductor and engineer of the extra
train swear that they ran precisely
according to orders, and if there was
mistake it arose from q difference
in watches. The weight of evidence
is strongly against them, however,
and the Coroner ordered the arrest
of VIM. Arder, the conductor, and
he was placed in the calaboose. The
fact that Arder and his engineer,
Tracy, left the spot Immediately
after the collision, because, as they
assert, they feared personal violence,
while the conductor and other en-
ployes Of the passenger train remain
ed and worked nobly for the release
and relief Of the passengers, is gen.
orally regarded as . consciousness OF
having done wrong, and strengthens
the belief that they alone were to
blame.
The reported death of A. 3. Elem.
ming, chef engineer Of the Lebo and
Neosho Railroad, is q mistake. He
was on the train, but left it at Soda
liza.
The wounded are general doing
well and are receiving care of some Of
the best surgeons and physicians in
the city. The railroad company
are doing everything possible for
their comfort, and will recompense
them for losses, SO tar as money can
do SO without suit or expense.

The Washington Press says thai
Judge Aller tells the people OF Floris
Davis county, that $3.50, 900 will give
them the G. as. w., whether it goel
to Bloomfield or Centerville.
Z, The same paper speaks also o.
the Rush Clark suit, as follows:
"Chancing to meet Attorney. Gen
eral O'Connor in Muscatine last week
we inquired about the fate of that
suit. Hc said the decision would
be given in June He added that
the Judges express themselves high.
" pleased with Clark's argument
lie thinks the decision will be in
~Clark's favor, though he does not, Of
course, 'speak by the card" O'Con.
nor's opinions respecting the whole
question, as presented at The Musca
tine convention, have in no degree
changed"
This is a new phase of the old
railroad bonded indebtedness Of
counties and cities. Mr.. Clark thinks
he has some good legal points not
heretofore adjudicated upon, which
will defeat the bondholders.

An Inquiry.

EDITOR COURIER: In the Daily of
the 18th inst, l see that Mr.. Wilson,
who has just closed his course of
lectures on Spiritualism, is spoken Of
as a man of fearful proportions in
some respects. Not having heard
him personally, I can only guess him
from descriptions given by those
who did hear him, and who from their
intelligence, are competent to Judge.
Such represent Mr.. W. as having re-
vealed to him by spirit, the facts of
the Whereabouts of the dead body of
a female (woman) in the Des Moines
River, at the curve:or bend, where is
certain tree, &c. Also, aspirit tells
where are the bones of q man who
was murdered and sunk in said river
! and they are yet there, near the rail
road bridge. Now, if that spirit wal
from heaven, and hence heavenly, i,
seems to us that it would inspire
those who believe the revelation true
to search out the dead, and SHOW
humane and heavenly dispositions
But, suppose, he takes the in
junction practically, "let the dea'
(dupes of Ottumwa,) bury thei
dead" How is this, brethren, o
spiritual order, please explain, 8
that l may not mistake, either tn
character Of the spirit, the preacher
or the spiritual saints. INQUIRER.

Wood VS.. Howard.

It's quite apparent that all this
Howard scandal has grown out of a
religious quarrel between him and
Chaplain Boynton. They represent
rival factions of the Congregational
Church in Washington, and that
eminent pirate, thief, and blackleg
Fcrnandy Wud, has taken advan
tage of the shindy to assail Howard.
Gen. Boynton is son Of Chaplain
BoYnton, and is the same libeller
and blackmailer, who befouled Mr..
Harlan with his filth. He is the cor.
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
the Chicago Tribune, and st. Louis
Democrat, andit is from these reports
that we get all the abuse of General
Howard.
Howard is having at his own re
quest, the charges of Fernandy Wut
duly investigated by competen
tribunal, and it is certainly but
simple act of justice to q maine,
soldier of the Republic to suspen
judgement in his case until he has
full and fair hearing.

Rosa knight against her husband
for divorce. She alleged cruel

evidence developed, in the course OF

the outraged and injured party, and
that if either was entitled to disso.

The Great Spring Remedy.

In the Spring of the year, nature
demands an assistant in driving out
the morbific substances collected in
the blood, which is sure to generate
bilious complaints and derange the
entire human system. The only
remedy adequately effectual in case
of this character is Mishler's Herb
Bitters, which thoroughly purities
the blood, corrects all the IRREGULAR
ties of the system, ro-invigorates the
general constitution, and produces
perfect health and good spirits where
now is general debility, nervousness,
etc. For all diseases arising from
impurities of the blood, Mishfer's
Herb Bitters is pronounced by the
highest medical authorities the most
certain, speedy, and agreeable rem
edy cxtant. Thousand have tested
its efficacy, and declare it is thegreat-
est assistant of nature in h,r conflict
with disease, that the light OF science
has ever brought to our knowledge.
