On account of the new postal regula
tions, a great many are revising the lists OF
exchanges, and striking off some who have
heretofore received their papers. We
feel that if we could afford to send our So
paper to our different exchanges, we GER
tainly can afford to add the 20 cents more
in the way of postage. We shall not erase
any, unless requested by the papers so to
do
A SAD SCENE a few days since, excit.
ed the p assengers on the east bound ID. V.
passenger A young man much intoxicat-
ed, was aboard the train, and when asked
to present his ticket, repeatedly refused.
The conductor after much gentlemanly
forbearance, hauled up the train and forced
him out where he staggered into wayside
ditch and was left with vile curses in his
mouth.

ton notice elsewhere, it will be seen that

and to order.

r. r., and will receive proposition from
them soon, as to terms The committee
men We're favorably impressed with the
outlook. A public meeting will be held
as soon as the terms are received, and if
We do our part we will get the best road in
the State.
While in Des Moines last week, we Gin
terviewed" that stupendous structure, the
new capital foundation. 1t is magnii-
cent affair, built in the most substantial
manner, and will be credit to the State.
The foundation is about completed, and
work on the main structure will soon begin.
Aside from the capital, but few improve
ments are going on in Des Moines. We
have not seen town in Iowa doing as much

KEoKUK CoUNTY.-A young man named
Conrad Kahn, was kicked on the temple
by a horse, fracturing his skull. 4
crowd of young men met at Manhattan
Mills, to battle, and some getting under the
influence of liquor got up firstclass row
| in which knives and clubs were used freely.
-. Dr. Huff's dog bit his little child, in
flicting a severe wound under the eye
The dog departed for the happy hunting
grounds. All from the Meas.
We learn that Miss Brown, daughter of
the proprietor of the Island House, was
drowned in Clear Lake, last Saturday.
With her father and another man, she was
crossing the lake in boat, when squall
UPSET the craft. The three got on the
boat and were supporting themselves, when
they fioated out where the wind struck the
boat and turned it over again, the mast
striking the young lady on the head. Her
body had not been found Sunday night.
COOP ONE.-A good story is told On a
young man of this city. whose juark lives
in the country. He went out to see her
one evening last week, and they were sit
ting In the parlor without light; lights
attract bugs finally the girl left the room
for a few moments and during her absence
another lady about the house entered and
sat down ; J--supposlng it was his june
bug, encilcled her waist with his arm and
gave her an orthodox hug. He found out
his mistake, and don't go there any more.
MYSTERIOUS Our friend G. II. Phelps,
says that for several mornings past he has
found things changed around in and about
his barn, in such a way as to make him
think it had been visited for no good pur-
pose One morning he found in the barn,
a set of single buggy harness, left there by
some one unknown to him. He now has
the harness in his possession, and will keep
them until called for and an explanation
made as to how they came there. We
would advise persons to make such visits
by daylight-it sometimes proves I'M
healthy to fool around other persons barns
after night.
ANNOYING OMIssIoN.--In our account
of the Friends College exercises last week,
careless typo omitted notice of the part
taken in the Third Essay Glass, by Miss
MATTE d. HoAG. This is very annoying
to US, especially as the performance was
one of the best of the exhibition. 1t was
an oration-subject, "Hidden Gems" and
evinced careful, and studied consdera
ton of the subject, throughout. The con.
ception was beautiful, the language good
and appropriate, and the grace and ele
. gance of delivery charmed the audience as
was evinced by frequent testimonials Of
admiration.
There is nothing like encouraging your
home newspaper. When man comes in
and asks US for copy Of the last
weekly and after getting it says ''thank
you" and walks out, it sets us up won

for ourselves and the city ordinances, re
strain us from tanning his "back view" with
the toe of oar No. 8. Thank you's" won't
