TIE Chicago Tribune has keen per
cepton of the absurdity of the Iowa
Press Association passing resolution
condcmning the acceptance of free passes
by editors upon railroads. when every
one of them went to Cedar Rapids upon
free passes, and are being carried free of
charge to Chicago by the Northwestern
road. If such resolution was passed,
as reported, the Iowa edior will come to
be regarded as possessing "cheek" of the
most indurated character - Dubuque
Times.
The editor of the Times before he
hastened to thrust at the Towa editor"
should have informed himself, as he
might very easily have done, of the
character of the resolution passed by the
Press Association. That resolution con-
dennis nothing, but simply accepts the
situation involved in the new departure
of the railroads in regard to free passcs''
believing it "best for the newspapers and
the railroads" Check is not an at
tractive rcha ractcristic, but disposition
to be unfair and condemn without rea
son or examination is scarcely more so
Besides, the allegation that every one Of
the Iowa editors went to Cedar Rapids
upon free passes is not true

THE RAILRoAD.-It is with pleasure
that we announce the near approach OF
the engine on the b. G. r. & NJ Railroad.
But a little more than seven miles of
track is required to connect our city with
Cedar Rapids, and this with good wealth
er will be laid by the close of next week.
Work on the depot and freight house has
already been commenced. Mr.. j. A.
Phillips has the contract for the stone
work, well, &c, the company erecting
the superstructnre There is but little
grading to do south of the city, and thai
cleaning out one or two cuts, so thai
nothing but rainy weather will prevent
the laying of tho track to this point in
the time set.

SWIFT HoUsE.-Those of our readers

Swift and assistants always agreeable
and attentive. We advise our friends
who have occasion to go to Waterloo, TO

FIRE STEAMER city council at
the session last Monday evening, voted
8 to 1 to purchase Steam Fire Engine
for the use of the city. A committee con-
sisting of one from each ward, consisting
of CouDcilmcn Ames, Kenyon, Pond,
Durham, and Leach were elected to Sc
cure proposals from manufacturers for
the sale of a steamer, and report. We
do not think that tax payers will be sat
isfied with the purchase of any machine
without previous trial here. The Silsby
was subjected to this test; now let the
others show their capacity.

Two abandoned women, belonging to
the bagnio near Cedar Falls, were drown
ed last Friday while bathing in the river.
The circumstances attending the casualty
were very similar to those by which Miss
Brewer and her companion met their
fate on Tuesday. The women confident
ly, and hand in hand waded into deep
water, and, unablcto reach the shore,
were drowned because no assistance was
at hand.

We regret that the Conservative in its
report of the Grange Picnic deems it
proper to 60 out Of its course to make a
personal attack upon the editor of the
BULLETIN, and with purpose evidently
maleyolent and partisan, misreprescnt
and misconstrue his feelings and senti-
men,s. That to which we refer is con-
tanned in the following extract from that
paper, referring to the exercises at the
Picnic:
Then came the "Press'' to which friend
Toman responded. The Judge did pref
ty well; still he failed to do himself JUS
tice. He seemed to lack heart in the pro-
ceedlngs. just little, and talked against
time.
The toast TO which We were invited to
make speech in response was "The
Press and it's Relations to Agriculture"
We are willing to admit that our i'm
promptu effort did not do adequate JUS
tice to the subject but we think it had
the merit of sticking to the text. Not
deemiug that the toast was framed for a
political purpose, or that it was expected
that the response to it would have that
character, we merely instituted con-
trast between the press as it was fifty
years ago, condemned as blind and I'M
skil.ful guide in the science Of farming,
with the high and noble purpose it now
subserves as an educator in the same
pursuit, closing our brief and imperfect
speech with an appeal to farmers to make
themselves more generally intelligent by
habitual reading of the newspapers. We
risk the charge of egotism in this par
ticular allusion to the speech, for the pur
pose of showing upon what slight foun-
dalton our neighbor is willing TO plant
an accusation, or rather cowardly
insinuation. To intelligent men it will
not be necessary to explain the .animus
of such thrusts as these The Conserra-
t3re is just now by every artificc of
hypocricy and sycophancy seeking to
ingratiatc itself into favor of the Pat
rons, in order that from this vantage
ground it may SOW discord into the Re-
publican ranks, and possibly secure the
election of Democratic candidates this
Fall. The BULLETIN stands in the way
of this programme, and it is therefore
essential that it and its editor shall be
made to appear as enemies of the farmers
movement The above sneaking innuen-
do is the first missile flung in the fusillade
of defamation and falschood. The
heavier metal will follow in due season.

Last Tuesday evening about shutdown,
there came upon our streets, and flew
from mouth to mouth, the distressing in
telligence that about an hour before, two
young girls had been drowned in the 'riv.
er about mile below town. 1t was soon
ascertained that the rumor was only too
true, and that the drowned girls were
Alice, the daughter of Dr. E. Brewer,
aged Is, and Mary Ellen Mclaughlin,
aged 10.
The circumstances attending the ca
lamity are as follows Alice Brewer
with two younger sisters and Mary Nc
Laughlin, who was domestic in the fam
lily of DR.. Brewer, started from their
home in the northeast part of town at
an early hour II the evening, to 60 to the
river to battle, following the course of
the creek which passes near their house,
alternately wading in it and walking
along the bank Arrived at the river,
three of the girls, Alice and Melinda
Brewer and the Mclaughlin girl donned
their bathing dresses, and leaving the
younger girl to guard tier clothes, join
ed hands and waded into the current
Suddenly they were in deep water Both
the Brewc: Is were good swimmers,
and Me- Wis, tnc youngest, soon sepera'
ted ! 81, from the rest, put her
proficiency to good use and soon reached
the shore, though greatly exhausted
The others were by this time in the
strong current Of the river struggling
for life. 1t is supposed that even then
Alice could have saved herself if alone;
but Miss Mclaughlin could not SWIM,
and with the desperate impulse of the
drowning, clung to her companion, both
going to death together. This theory is
sustained by the peculiar position of the
arms of the elder girl when found. A
large force of citizens were outdragging
the river for the bodies, but they were
not found until the next day. They were
close together, about one hundred rods
below where they went in. The frantic
grief, bordering on insanity, fthc mother
ofMiss Mclaughlin while the search was
is described as most heart
rending With all the abandon of the
Irish nature, she would give way to alter
nate fits of weeping, singing and laugh
ter, and was with difficulty prevented
from rushing into the turbulent waters in
search of her darling child. The funeral
of Miss Mclaughlin was held on Thurs
day at the Catholic church, and that of
Miss Brewer at the Baptist church the
same day. The event has caused a sad
ness to pervade the whole community,
which will not soon be dissipated. The
friends of the deceased have the sympa-
thy of all in their great affiiction.

SMALL FRUITS. - Messrs. Amcs &
Sprague showed us yesterday letter
from a correspondent at Ccntralia ILL.,,
containing intelligence which will not be
welcome to lovers of fruit. 1t is to the
effect that the strawberries in that region
from whence the bulk of our early
supplies are drawn,-are cat short by
the drouth, and that no more can be sent
this season. The writer also adds that
there will be but little fruit of any kind
in that vicinity this year. The show for
large crop of small fruits in this
vicinity is promising, and will probably
be above the average in quantity and
quality, notwithstanding the complaints
in some quarters that worm is attack
ing the Strawberries With the certainty
of not being able to get fruits from
abroad our people viii be forcwarned te
make the most of our productions.
