The Library opening last evening

The Library opening last evening
was well attended. The address de-
livered by the Rev. w. G. Mills was
very fine and listened to with the great
est attention and pleasure by those
present. The vocal music under direc-
ton of Mr.. Howerton, assisted by
Messrs. Capps, Daggett and Miss Ber-
tina Roemer, Miss Clara Dennison,
Mrs. Chris. Auwerda and Miss Fetzer
was very fine and added largely to the

The Reform School is finally located

The Reform School is finally located
at Eldora, Hardin county. This re-
suit was reached by the votes of Moir,
of Eldora Hunter, of Webster City,
and Dashiell, of Warren county. The
Hon. j. S. Parvin, of .MuscatiMe, and
the Rev. Corkhill, of this city, voting
for Ottumwa, though offering to agree
on Oskaloosa. Mr.. Hunter is the new
appointee of the Governor. He some
years ago published paper in Eldora
living there for sometime and then
owning property there. OF course we
do not suppose that any old attach
ment that he may have for Eldora or
any interest he may now possess there
in has influenced him IL making choice
Of that place. 1t might, however, by
some be considered unfortunate that
an appointment should have been
made of one who from years resi-
dence at least in one of the contesting
places might be liable to the charge of
favoritism by the general public.
The thing is did, and we do not pro-
pose to whine nor carp at anybody
about it, but strike elsewhere, for good
things lay all about us, il we have a
spare 10000 to give in thst direction.

first number OF the Ottumwa COURIER.
1t was six column paper then, and
was launched forth with one hundred
fhd fifty subscribers, from town with
barely two hundred people. To-day
it has the largest Weekly subscription
list Of any paper in the Des Moines
Valley, or in this Congressional Dis
trict, and has a fattering and constant
ly increasing Daily edition, and goes
forth from the Queen city of Southern
Iowa, which contains eight thousand
people.
Mr.. Warden is again one Of the edi-
tors Of the COURIER in its manhood,
while Street is in Montana grovelling
in the sloughs Of democracy.
The COURIER improves the occasion
: to thank its patrons who have stood
by it from it's infancy, and promises
them that in the future as in the past
it shall ever be found battling manfnl-
ly for the welfare of Ottumwa and
surrounding country.

A PiIsburg preacher, by the name OF
Rine, has been passing through some ia
pleasant experiences. He went to Kansas,
some weeks since, as q witness in behalf Of
Rev. Mr.. Gray, aud not liking the country,
he started TO return. On arriving At Quincy,
being out Of employ ment, aud feeling des
pondent, he went into saloon and took
several glasses Of consolation. The kind Of
liquor in use nov-a-dAysseems to have no
respect for q Reverend, and will just as
readily make . fool Of Governor rs q
wood.ohopper.
On board Of the cars thence to Chicago
the liquor in him, or some other evil spirit
tempted him to take charge Of the pocket
book Of q Chicago travelling agent, without
being requested to do 80 by the owner {;
and IN Chicago he found several places
where they take money for liquor by
the small but often. A pleasant 40
quAintAnce took him to some nice places
where they play faro but the faro banks
did not lose any money that he knows Of.
He fell into company with some ladies who
are acquainted with strangers. But this oil
did not prove the condition Of his fnan-
ces, nor introduce him to vacant pulpit.
SO the devil, or something mesner, tempt
cd him again, and be tried, very bunglingly

bic papers 10 the pocket book. He did moi
find . purchaser, bu: a policeman did find
q subject, and lhe number Of Chicago suffer.
srs has been increased by one Rev. Mr.
Rins. The whole thing shows the damna
bic tendencies Of the popular vices Of the
day, and the danger Of yielding to the first
temptation.
