Reported Sale Of the World
Newspaper.

The N. Y. News says that the pro-
prictorsllip Of the World has changed
hands. The controlling interest has
been purchased by prominent rcpubli-
can politicians. The sale is not to be
made public till after the democratic
convention It is to continue to oppose
the nomination Of Greeley at Baltimore
as in that way it can render the most
effectual aid to Grant. Little, if any,
change is to be made in its editorial
department. There is no doubt thai
an immense f,lld has been raised to be
used exclusively for the purpose Of
having a straight democratic ticket
nominated at Baltimore. The radicals
say if that is done, not another dollar
need be expended to make Grants
c,ecti III sure.

ELkADEzs.

In 1851 we made our first visit to
Elkader. Last week we made our
next visit to that place. To say that
there have been important changes is
only what might be said of any portion
Of northeastern Iowa, in the past 20
years. Some of the old landmarks are
clearly disccrnable, others, especially
the hills on the north of the river are
covered with fine growth of young
timber now; then they were almost bar
rem. The town now contains we should
Judge about 1890 inhabitants, has a
magnificent water power and one the
finest Touring mills in Iowa, large
number of thriving merchants, several
hotels the leading one being tho Board
man house, kept by Lafayette Bigelow,
two newspapers, one in English the
other German, both highly prosperous
and deserving as local journals; a Ma
tional Bank, and the strongest and
best jail in the State.
The narrow gague railroad from Nc
Gregor is nearly completed to Elkadcr,
the track being laid to within about
four miles. The town should also have
the road contemplated from Dubuque up
the Volga, not only in the interests of
tue town but of the road. The town
can afford to make almost any effort
to arrive at so happy result and
should spare no time in doingi it.

generally prevailing among the different

The Wool Market

Is excited, under the many contradictory
stories Of the amount destroyed in Boston,
and there are reports of an immense cor
ner in preparation. The best estimates of
wool destroyed is eight to ten million
pounds. The market here is higher and
tirmer, and holders are not anxious to sell,
while manufacturers are eager to supply
themselves. California is quoted here at
26c., Texas at 24c., lambs, pulled at soc.
From one-third to one-half of the wool
crop is still held by farmers. Flannels
have advanced two cents, but the retail
clothing trade remains unchanged
The effect of the Boston fire on hard
ware has not caused an advance, but has
stiffened prices.-N. y. Dispatch, 18th.

The EDizOOtic.

The malady that is now sweeping over the
land, which is the greatest equine scOurge ever
known in this country, has found no barrier to
stay its march. 1t has extended from the Brit
ish Dominion to the Southern States and in
many cities has seriously impeded business and
disarranged commerce. Indications of the
disease have appeared at Nashville, and it be-
hooves the owners of stock in this city and
vicinity to take every precaution and if posi-
bic prevent its ravages extending here. The
cold weather may exert an influence in staying
its march and we trust it will. The Cinninnat
Commercial gives the following the result of
its observation of the disease in that city;
TIE horse influenza is blood disease, and as
such must run its course no manner of treat
ment can possibly shorten its period Of duration,
and in view of this admitted fact it is only less
than criminal for owners to exact service from
the suffering animals, rs many do.
Horses attacked three weeks ago in the East
are dying now. Some owners have put their
animals to work before convalesence was COM
plete, and relapse and death ensued
