To LEAVE Us.-We are sure that all
classes of our citizens will learn With re.
greet that so valuable a citizen and SO up
righta man as Mr. G. b. Rogers, of the
Star Foundry, is about to remove from
our city, and permanently locate else
where. Mr.. Rogers goes to AnamOsa,-
Inducements having been held out to him
by Col. Shaw ana other public spirited
citizens of that place enabling him to
largely extend his business. These offers
are SO favorable that he cannot, in justice
20 himself decline them. In addition to
this there is "a consideration which has
had a controlling influence in his decision
to leave Independence, and that is the
superior advantages offered at Anamosa
for making freight contrasts. Here he
was at the mercy Of one railroad, from
which he was never able to obtain con
ccssion. At Anamosa he has the benefit
of railroad competition, and be informs
us that he has already made freight con
tracts for the coming year which enables
| him to receive at Anamosa his iron, coal
| and other raw material required in his
business, at transportation rates not in
excess of those to Dubuque. This is
saving of thousands Of dollars per annum,
| and the lack of these facilities mere had
determined him to locate elsewhere. even
before he received the proposition from
| the peoplc of AnanOsa These are not
palatablc facts for those who desire to
sec the Industries of our city grow and
prosper, but they are facts, and the part
| of prudence is to set about the proper
remedy.
Mr. Rogers will ship a portion Of his
machinery to Anamosa Immediately. The
remainder with the building he has lcas.
ed to Yeager & MEOW, who will contin.
ue the business, with the ultimate view
of purchasing the establishment. They
are industrious and competent mcchan-
les, and we commend them to the patron.
age of the public. They are ready to re.
ccive all orders for castings or machine
work.

The above item has significance for
our city. Why should not the large
number of fat cattle and hogs annually
shipped from this county be packed here?
The shipping facilities at Dec orah are not
exceptionally favorable. She has but
one railroad, and that plug, with no
immediate prospect Of competing line.
If under these circumstances, her pack

of profit indicated above, is it too much
to say That with our prospective adyan

capitalists wake up to the contemplation
of matters of this kind?

FIRST NATIONAL BANK.-We would
call particular attention to the report of
this institution in our advertising columns
this week. We think the record is one
that the officers and stock holders Of the
bank have reason to be proud of, and that
better showing can be made by few
banks in the interior Of the State. The
first item, 1854 62.6s, loans and dis
counts, shows how well the institution is
fulfilling its legitimate functions of fur
nishing ready aid and accommodation to
the business public. The very respecta-
BILE sum in the last item of $l45, 1912,
individual deposits, also shows clearly
the public estimation Of the soundness
and stability of the concern, and in these
hard times has cheerful appearance. 1t
is agreeable to know that there is money
in the county even if you are not possess
ell of it. Other items of the report will
be scanned with interest, all giving evil
dencc of the financial skill and ability of
he Qtfic ers in charge.

an account of case of sunstroke, written by
the party himself. After suffering q long time
from the attack, and having to cohsidernble

even from the rays of the moon. This led him
to the reflection that it was not altogether the
