A Terrible Fate.

Cd + -
iF A terrible tale of the. fate of a Ger
ing Iphysiciaanf in Lansing, Iowa,
comes to JUS in the papers of that State.
Finding he was sick, probably from
small pox, and away from home and
friends, he engaged q man to- drive
him from McGregor to Elkader,where
he formerly lived. They had not pro-
ed to think he was being pur-
in the buggy box, he lashed the DASH
board, urging the driver to sslet the
horses go, for Gods sake they are
after me-" Opening a large pocket
knife. he coolly informed the driver
that his life depended on fast driving
and silence. The poor driver was
forced to the terrible conviction. that
he was alone with maniac at dead of
night. Obedience tothe desperate temans
was the only. alternative,
and with eyes straight aheadohe drove
for deal. life to- Harding's hotel, at
Bulls Head, six miles from McGreg-f
or. The driver here jumped out, and
asked the doctor to come in and have
something to drink. Enraged at the
delay,hei threw ont the robe, cushions,
ETC., and then got out himself and etri-f
edito awaken the landlord. THE DIRE
ver, intent on saving his life, hastily
secured his robe and cushions and,
putting whip to. his Shefses, returned
to MeGresor.z T1e doctor failed TO
arouse the landlord, and startingo0ut
aloneyevidently tried to foot itfosEl-
kader. He was nextsseen at National
ten miles from Elkader, crazy and
Wild, but there were none, hunaanel
enough, to relieve or have him cared
for,d Alone by the side of the road he
was Seen the next. day, some mine
miles from Efkader, by several of it's
citizens, nearly all acquainted with
him.. No one spoke to him or offered
to help him, but all agree that hefwas-
crazy, .nrili that his face was very red.
His friends were notified of his con-
dition, but no effort was made to re9
1ieye him, HE was reported near
Windsor on Wednesday, farther west
on Thursday, and Friday was found
in Sink hole, nearly naked, badly
frozefi, and the snow red from the
blood from his face, that he had
scratched and torn in his delirium.
He was conveyed to q stable insW ag--
ner township, Friday evenings Sat
urday a physician from Elkader was
procured, who found him dying from
his exposure and small pox.. During
the night he expired, with none near
him, alone in the stable, away from
mother, brothers, sisters and friends!

The Fun of the Proposed civil

suggests that the following be inclu-

aspirants for service in the civil branch

Beard of Examining Pedagogues
L. Who is your candidate for the
Presidency?
2. How much of your salary as Post

tribute to secure his reelection
3. Can you swear that you are phys
ically strong enougheto work like a
dray horse in; his behalf from now
until the polls close ID g 7ssi-gs
8. About how many votes could
you make for your candidate by work
ing in that way? att3 il
5. Have you always been truly 10y
al, and If SO, how many times did you
vote for the present Chief Executive
in 1868, and do you think you could
do it again in 1872? aal q
). 6. If the administration should hap
pen some timeaor other toneed azfirst
class witness in Ku-KIux case, do
you suppose you could remember
what it would be necessary for you
to swear to on the occasion? ina p.
z. When you shall have found that
you are defaulter to the government
in q very considerable amount, you
win understand, won't you, that you
must keep the fact concealed from the
democratic press, and that ifthe fling
should leak out in spite of u.s. you
must pay for the whitewash yourself? !?
= g. In case it should chance to occur
to you at no distant day that it would
be eminently proper for you to for
ward q Durham colt or Berkshire
calf, q terrier pig or a Shanghai pup
or all fourlof them, as the case may be
Louis, whose gifted proprietor is
not wholly unconnected with the qEX-
ecutiye Mansion at the present time,
and you are quite sure you would
remember to pay the expressage and
all other charges on the shipment9 -

doayou happen tos have about your
clothes, and do you athink you could

home? rs atfEisaisI moIl -1g5 ~

which was largely attended. 1t was a
very successful affair and did much
credit to the managers.
The last item of interest which
seems to create considerable excite
ment among our citizens is the liquor
question. A few of the hot heads are
determined to demoralize our commu-
Dity with their poisonous traffic, for
the sake of paltry gain and in defiance
of all law and order. We understand
that the Court now in session at Ra-
VIENNA has taken some notice of these
offenders and that some of these of
Tenders are required to answer to some
quite serious charges. 1t is hoped
that in future these saloons will be
closed up or will be conducted in a
more proper manner.
Next Monday evening the Mantua
Dramatic Club will present an enter
