A Born VILLAIN.-The Mechanics.
Vile Press has a fearful story to tell Of
an individual whom it designatss As the
Essence of Purity" and who has been
recently making that place the scene Of
some of his outrageous exploits. The
subject of the Press notice is one M. A.
Martin. a sewing machine agent. This
man it accuses Of having committed 'nu
merous sins against decency and law.
concluding his infamous career with the
crime of rape upon the person OF an in
FAINT girl of only four years Of age whom
he was carrying in his wagon from her
home in Lisbon to Mech.nicsville.
1t appears that the miserable animal
is likely to escape justice, As the Prees,
assuring him that no would not now
find that healthy section Of country
in which to live, concludes ~ follows {:
IN A. Martin, the perpetrator of
these crimes, 10 a man about thirty five
wears of aye, about five fe t niue inches
in height, dark complectioneu, and
weighs about one hundred and sixty
pounds; has a scar across the face which
ne received from knife in the hand
of some one for one OF his outrageous
actions. We have letters now in our
possession which would send him to the
penitentiary, but for respect to the par
ties implicated we will not give public
ity to them. But suffice 1t to say II he
gets his just deserts he will be dangling
atthe end Of \ piece of hemp, without
a footh"ld. in less than one year.
Parties that can give information OF
his whereabouts would oblise by adj

TAX SALE.-The sale by the Treas
urer Of lands in Cedar county for delin-
quent taxes transpired. according to ad
.journmen1, on Monday last. The chief
bidders were Messrs. Lewis Knowles
and John Hays. Of Muscatine, TO whom
most Of the property sold was struck
of.
The sale, however, both in number Of
tracts sold and in amounts paid for
them, was an unusually small one.
Nearly all the delinquencies upon salea
BILE property had been previously paid,
and with the result Of the sale, the taxes
'of the past year are more closely paid up
than those Of any previous year. In
deed, the entire delinquencies upon the
Treasures books have never been so
nearly closed up as they now are. Mr.
Wilhelm, as Treasurer Pounds deputy,
has nearly completed a collection of all
delinquent personal property taxes. un.

by the careful, energetic and thorough
administration Of Captain Pound, he
will be able to put his worthy successor,
Mr.. McCielland, in possession Of the
office in the tidiest possible condition.

CLARENCE ITEMS.

DIED, Nov. 9th, of typhoid fever,
Mrs. E. w. Coz, residing one mile south
of Clarence.
Mr.. Goes family have been in great
distress for the past three months, du-
ring which time nearly all ofthcm have
suffered with this fever.
The first copy of the independent,
of Clarence, will appear this week.
Mr.. Ed. Newell, of this place, is
now Frustrated with typhoid fever; but
his friends entertain hope that his
physician has the fever under control.
Mr.. Derby, Of our Independent, we
are glad to record, is himself again, ex-
cept the bandage he is compelled to
wear around his head and face. He
desires to warn all persons, particularly
editors, against choppng ciotheslines
for exelc else. Better chop wood, he
saws; its more healthful.
A correspondent, in late issue of
your paper signing himself " Many Cit.
izens' (prctty ponderous for one name)
seems to think that all the citizens of
Stanwood, except thirteen, are down

leading citizens of Stanwood are a
good many. We have heard it mali
ciously minated that after thirteen
there wouldn't be more than one left

We notice in late issue of the
other Upton paper that our MIR. Griffin
denies knowing anything about certain
resolutions published in the Idrerttse'
with reference to the action of the Pres
byterian Church of this place as to the
continuance of their pastor with them
for another year. This confession es
plains the whole transaction. We were
utterly unable to account for the appear
ance of such batch of garbled resolu
tions as appeared in the Post purport
ing to be the action of the congregation
through a committee, of whom MIR
Griffin was chairman, but now it is
perfectly plain. The resolutions, "a
they appeared in the Post, we conclude
were minority report of said commit
tee of which Mr.. Griffin is the sole
author and entitled to all the credit
and, SO far as the majority Of
the committee are concerned
he is entirely welcome to airy
and all the honor he is entitled tc
on their account either as specimens OF
fine literary talent, or, on account o.
the sentiments contained in them. We
were not aware, until we saw the
disclaimer above referred to, that any
one of the congregation. whether 8
member or an adhercnt, entertained
Just such views in relation to the mat
ter as set forth in the Post rcsolu
tons. Certainly they were not present
ed to the congregation for its action
and we submit that it was exceedingly
bad taste, to say the least, to have then
published as the sense OF the congre
CATION when the congregation never
heard of them.

Be Guided by what you Know.


There is All old proverb which says,
"Experience izthe safest guide. TO this
guide the sick and aiiiug naturally turn
when casting about for the means OF
relief. They inquire what a medicine
has done for others, before they adopt it
themselves. OF all the remedies and
preventives in use, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters meets the test most triumphantly,
and hence its immense popularity and
vast sales The sufferer from indiges~
ton il sure to find some one among his
friends who has been cured of that
allment 10y the famous vegetable SION
achic. The victim of fever and ague,
liver complaint, constipation, nervous
prostration, or general debility, has only
to make inquiry in the neighborhood
where he resides In order to discover
what thi. standard restorative has effect
ed In cases similar to his own. In the
published testimony to its merits he will
find volume OF proofs Of its sanitary
properties, which it is impossible for his
common sense to resist. He tries it , and
the effect it p, oduces on his system adds
another to the host Of witnesses In its
favor. Thus, its reputation founded on
facts, not assertions, continually grows
and spreads. CharIatans and impostors,
some OF them mere local trlcksters, and
others who take u somewhat wider
range. attempt to thrust into the hands
and DOWN the throats of invaiids, their
haphazaru connections, as substitutes for
the tonic which for so many years has
been medicinal staple throghOut the
United states, Spanish America, Can
ada, and the West Indies, but only
succeed to a very limited extent. In
this reasoning age, the people. having
ascrrtained what is really deserving of
their confidence, decline running after
strange gods.n

BRap.GE ACROSS THE CEDAR.-The
rzilroad bridge across Cedar river, in
process tH erection by the Iowa South
western Construction company, is situa-
ted about eight miles; a trifle south Of
west from Upton, near the mouth of
Nicholson creek and about a half mile
above Gray's ford, where wagon
bridge was once contemplated.
The railroad bridge now building is
six hundred feet long, exclusive Of the
trestle approach on the east bank. and
consists Of four spans Of one hundred
and fifty feet each. The stone work
consists Of al abutment on the west
bank, and four pier., all built Of heavy
blocks OF stone quarried short distance
up the river at quarry opened for that
purpose. The abutmeDt aud two of the
piers are now completed. and the n
naming piers :rc To be finished this
month. The rive. at that point runs
over bed OF deep sand, and the foun
dation for the piers was made by driv.
ing, for each one, four rows Of piles the
length Of the pier, saving off the piles
below the wafer, placing heavy hewn
log cap on each row, then filling all be-
tween the piles and up even with the
top of the caps with broken stone and
laying a heavy plank floor over all.
Upon thi. floor, which comes just about
