to reach that the Hunacood E'spress has
a"project." 1t is railroad project, we
infer from the connection, and in its
own language is thus announced:

when completed, will, without a doubt,
tell thousands, aye millions! of worth to

lievs that we are not in the hands Of q
company that will have to sell US out
twice a month, to make start in turn

to inform our antagonistic friends that
our lisappointments SO far, are not Of a
nature to make US feel very bad; not
much Nancy"
No sane person in Cedar county can
be counted among the antagonists OF
such n project; and lest any one should
for a moment doubt that the writer OF
the above was satisfied that he knew
what he was talking about, we add
another quotation from the same arti.
Gle in which he gives the assurance
that there 10 hen on and he knows
where the nest is, thus:
"We are certainly no: prepared to say
to the readers Of the Stu,l,cood Express,
(that is in our immediate vicinity, c.
dar County if you will, that they know
as much about what is going on, and
the prospects of what will be did, a. we
do!"
Further information Is anxiously

IIGHTNING.-Duri one of the thun.
der storms this week, the barn Of jos.
hua Smith, this side Of Clarence, was
struck by lightning and narrowly es-
capped burning.
At Stanwood, during the storm Mon

tricity ran into the telegraph Office on
the wires, and making tremendous
explosion, escaped on the ground wire

ANTI SECRET SoCIETY.-Mr. Editor
I learn there exists in this city an or
ganization having the above title, and
as their design is evidently to promote
the welfare Of commuaity, may be
allowed to suggest to them that . wide
field of usefulness awaits their success

try their combined skill at dissolving
the secret Ku.klux Khan, aud II success
full, the government will reward them
with liberal bounty, aAd humanity
with many blessings. Then, when that
work is accomplished, let them turn
their guns on the less harmless "sscret
conclavss" of tho north, which, whom
convinced Of the "srror Of their way"
will doubtless strike their colors also.

GROUND BRoKEN.-It is with no little
degree of pleasure that our citizens will
learn that ground has actually been
broken snd work commenced on the
Iowa Southwestern Railroad.
There was no display, no eerem on
speechifying or wine drinking about the
event, such is often made in order te
raise the enthusiasm that will las,
through another campaign of idleness
but selecting point where the location
il certain and considerable work is to BE-
done, available help was secured and
the dirt begun no be moved that is to
make the road bed Of the Iowa South
western. The proceeding was business
not pantomins.
The point selected is at the crossing Of
Rock Creek, q miles west Of Upton,
near the lower Iowa City road, and here
at about nine o'clock last Monday morn
ing We saw the pillow and scraper begin
the work of piling up twelve foot grade,
under the supervision Of Engineers
Blunt and Irish.
Within very short time--so soon as
right Of way matters are sufficiently set
tled-the working force will be increas-
ed, we are told by the Engineers, to all
that can be used to advantage, and the
work will 90 forward as rapidly as its
most ardent friends can wish.

Not BURGLARY.-Ayoung man sleep.
ing in one of our business houses was
aroused last Tuesday evening by smoth-
cred conversation and other suspicious
noises in a second floor hall that forms a
landing for stairway from the street.
OF: course, his first. thought was, bur-
glars! and he jumped up in very agi-
tated state of mind, ran and knocked up
his next door neighbor. and together
they sought out the suspicious stairway
and made raid. In response to chal.
lenge, down came a young gentleman
wrapped in buffalo robe and down
came couple of calico packages, and
the trio scooted in different directions.
The burglar hunters laid away their fire
arms with sigh Of relief, and went to
looking after the nap they had dropped
a short time before.

S25 FOR A WIFE-A NOVEL LAW

urday, a novel case was presented by
the effort of John Stry ker to collect from
John b. Shaffer the sum of twenty We
dollars, debt incurred by the latter on
account of his introduction to his future
wife by the former.
The plaintiff, Stryker, proved that the
defendant offered him S25 to find him a
wife and the defendant admitted that
Stryker did introduce him to the wo.
man whom he afterward married.
Justice Porter reserved his decision to

DISTRICT CoURT.-The sitting OF
Court here this week. together with the
meeting Of the Board of Supervisors,
has brought large number of people
into town, giving our streets very
lively aspect.
Among Attorneys from abroad who
are attending Court, we notice Major
Thompson, District Atty; Mess. Cook
and Bills, of Davenport; Rush Clark
Of Iowa City; J. S. Salisbury, of Me-
chanicsyille; NJ. Mclaughlin, of Cha.

The first case taken up was that OIL
the State vs.. Wright, prosecution for
alledged malicious mischief. Trial by
jury, which found the defendent guilty.
VIM, Palmer, who was indicted by the
Grand Jury at its last sitting for horse
stea.ing was tried Last Tuesday. 1t
will be remembered that last fall Palm.
er rode horse belonging to Mechan-
!csvilie livery man to Anamosa, where
he was found with it in possession. He
averred that young man named Den
mis- Lindsay stole the horse and lie was
only unsuspectingly riding it away; and
last winter Lindsay was taken from his
home in Green Co. Wis. on a requisi-
ton, and brought here 'for preliminary
examination, which resulted in his
giving bonds to appear at this term Of
Court. Although the bond given could
not have been enforced, Lindsay was
here at the appointed time, and the
Grand Jury found no bill against him.
Palmer, however, was found guilty, and
the value of the horse, which was at.
tempted to be proven worthless, was
liked at S25, SO that he will have an
opportunity to try the climate of Fl.

INDIAN RAID.

Gen. Sherman who 10 on an inspect.
ing tour, arrived at Fort Sill, the % inst
direct from Texas. While at Fort Rich
ardson, a party Of Indians supposed tt
number about $50, attacked a train
killing Of the tsamstsrs, and escaped
they then drove off the mules. The
General gave orders to follow the Indi.
ans, the result Of which has not yet
been heard.
Yesterday Satanic came here and
claimed the honor of leading the party,
stating that the chiefs Satank, Eagle
Heart, Big Tree and Big Bow, were
with him. I Immediately went to the
post to have them arrested, which Gen.
Sherman was more than willing to do.
Satanic soon followed me there, and
when he attempted to leave, found a
pistol pointing at him. The other Ia
dlans were sent for, Satanta went there.
Big Tree was found in the store, and
when he saw the movements of the SOL
diers, he went through glass door and
ran for the brush near a half mile dis
tant, but was over-taken by the cavalry
before reaching the timber. Eagle
Heart was about entering the Post,
when he heard freing at Big Tree, and
escaped. The Indians commenced fir
ing at the soldiers, and shot one.
The reason that Satanic gave for the
raid, was, in addressing me, he said ::
II have been told that you have stolen
a large portion Of our annuity goods and
given them to tho Texans. 1 have re-
peatedly asked you for arms and amuni.
ton, which has not been furnished, and
have made many other requests which
have not been granted, aud not only
that, but two years ago Gen. Custer ar
rested me and kept me in confinement
several days, and on account OF all these
grievances made the raid.
The prisoners will probably DO sent
to Texas and quit their raiding. Gen.
Sherman intended TO take possession of
all the horses and mules that the Indi.
ans had here, and hold them until tho
mules taken from the train were brought
in, but the Indians took the alarm and
started for the timber a. soon a. they
heard the firing, and in about two min
utes the camps were deserted, some Of
the ponies carrying two Indians.

Of the state still have the impression
that the only candidates for Governor
are Col. c. e. Carpenter aud Major

increasing regard-and he will make a

Upton and Annamosa Railroad,

with Mr.. Hinckley. OF Chicago, the con.
tractor for the Iowa Southwestern, who
proposed the organization of construs.

would raise sufficient means to grade and

surveyors over the road at once, and get
an estimate of the cost of the work yet
to be done. (the grading from this city
to a point eight miles beyond Upton
having been mostly completed q num-
Der Of years ago. The proposition il yet
to be considered by the cid railroad COM
pany, and it is somewhat doubtful what
action it will take on it.
We learn that Mr.. Hincklsy is to put
men at work next week on tho Iowa
Southwestern line between Tipten aud
Iowa City. Muscatine Journal End inst.
We hope that the doubt expressed
above as to the course of the NJ. Il. A. Il
NJ. company in the premises does not
shadow An adverse feeling in Muscatire
towards the acceptance OF the Hinckley
proposition. Muscatine as well as Tip
ton has ensugh money lying dead in
this project, to wish earnestly to see it
revivifisd and by this course. which
includes consolidation with the Ana
mosa Northwestern railroad project that
already has valuable franchises, ana
which different corporations are ready
and anxious to get hold of, the brightest
anticipations for a road running from
Muscatins though Upton, Anamosa and
Independence to the Northwest, may be
reasonably INDUCED.
The Directors of the NJ. r. A. e. NJ.
r. r. meet, we believe, next Wednes-
day, and as they have the authority to
act, the doubt as to the result will then
DO dispelled.

From THE FRoNTIER.--We published
last week long and very interesting
account of recent Indian council,
written for the ADvERTI.ER by Laurie
Tatum, Indian Agent, who also furnish
es to this paper an account of a recent
outbreak among the Indians at his

the reported imminent Indian troubles
may not be all imaginative, the events
related by Friend Tatum being by no
means SO tame to the raided teamsters or
the pursuing soldiers as to us quiet
