For AUDIToR.-In the appropriate
place is made the announcement that
Martin G. Miller. of Sugar Creek
township, will come before the Repub-
lican Convention Of this county as q
candidate for nomination to the Office
Of Auditor. OF Mr.. Miller we can say
nothing to much purpose. He is prob
ably one of the most widely known
and generally liked of Cedar county's
Republican citizens. He has repeated
ly, and in spite of his protest aud de-
clination, been honored by his party
with official trust; and whether it
shall now nominate him for Auditor
or not, his candidacy will be certain
to receive respectful consideration at
its hands.

EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION
This gathering took place last Friday
according to announcement. Not SO
many were present as the committee
anticipated, but the attendance was
by no means small, representatives
from nearly all the surrounding cities
and towns participating.
A procession led by the Cedar Rap
ids Band, after marching through the
principal streets, proceeded to the
grove where platform had been
erected and seats provided. Mayor
Yates appropriately welcomed the eel
ebrators which with music and an
address by Rev. Henry Simons, con-
stituted the morning exercises.
The dinner in picnic style, next
on the programme, was. to all
appearances, very successfully man
aged. After this, the Orator Of
the Day, Mr.. Alex Clark, Of Musca-
tine, spoke at considerable length,
evincing familiarity with his subject
and giving good and practical advice
his fellows. This part of the exercises
was witnessed by many hundreds of
the citizens Of Upton and vicinity,
who listened with attention and in
terest.
In the evening, . ball at the City
Hall concluded the day for the cele-
brationists, all Of whom protested to
be highly pleased with the interest
and success Of their gathering.

EXCITEMENT AT MECHANIcsvILLE

EXCITEMENT AT MECHANIcsvILLE.
Great excitement was occasioned at
Mechanicsville last Sunday morning
by tho capture and subsequent escape
of two horse thieves. It appears that
two men stole horse up near Maquo-
keta, and traded 1t of near Anamosa.
Tho Maquoketa parties found and
took their horse, and the Anamosa
man, being out, started after the
thieves. Coming to Mechanicsville
he heard Of them, and at last found
them, Sunday morning, in bed, at
John Zerby's, where they had coolly
stopped and gone to work in harvest.
The pursuers were two, neither an

officer, and did not attempt to tie their
captives, one of whom made an excuse
to go out doors and speedily disap-
peared in corn field. They mount
ed the other on horse, and had
him almost into Mechanicsviile when
he suddenly turned and made all
speed for the timber. Our informant
says this made jolly race for about
half mile, but just as one Of the pur-
suers laid hold of the rascai's bri-
die, he threw himself off the
horse aud ran for the brush.
Although Mechan icsville and vi
cinity turned out and hunted all day
and night, nothing further had been
seen of the thieves at our latest notice,
The Anamosa men pottered off with
the horse, which seemed to be all they
cared about.

PROBATE MATTERS. Probate causes
ordinarily lie on our records or pass to
adjudication in our courts without the
mention in the papers which are Civ
en- other classes of court business and
thinking that some facts in regard 20
the character, importance and condi !.
ton of Probate matters in this county
would be of interest to our readers, we
solicited our Clerk of the Court, Mr..
Van Ness, for them, aud present them
herewith.
or course all are aware that the lass
of court business generally denomi-
mated "probate matters" embraces the
establishment Of all wills; the adjudi-
cation of the estates Of all decedents,
whether dying testate or intestate, on
which administration Is asked either
by heirs or creditors and the record
and control of guardianships whereby
the rights OF minor heirs are calculat-
ed to be insured All business Of this
county, or Probate. Judge until the
abolition Of that Office, when it passed
into court, and now belongs exclusive
~ to the Circuit Court.
A glance convinces that the aggre-
gate Of this business must be large and
important, and that it effects class Of
persons ia very many cases poorly
qualified to look closely and effective
~ after their own interests. In ordi-
nary litigation, either plaintiff or de-
PENDANT are always anxious to push
matters to an issue but in probate
affairs there is but one side, and the
natural tendency has been to neglect
reports and let the cases drag along
instead OF being promptly brought to
final settlement. For instance: There
are about three hundred cases now
pending, when they shou Id, Of course,
be taken of the records by complete
settlement substantially as fast as new
ones are filed. OF these three hun
d.ed cases many have had no atten
ton whatever after the first necessary
steps to place them in adjudication
two, three and even four years hav ing
passed without any report from Adj
ministrators or Guardians. TO show
still more plainly this delinquent ten
dency: from March '72 to March '73
sirty-seren new probate causes have
been placed upon the records while
but twenty have bee . dispos ed of and
striker off. These cas- . of one year
have required 52l full pages Of record,
beside the synopsis in the calendars
and the manifold entries in claim and
fee books. While the records are be-
ing thus encountered, and only one
case is dropped while three are com
menced, it is difficult to see just what
ten, twenty or fifty years would do.
The only remedy, as We understand
it, is to bring the causes formally be-
fore the court, which has then power
10 issue citation to Administrators or
Guardians to make their reports +; and
it is to this end that Clerk Van Ness
b as placed 24S of these old cases upon
the docket for the next terminating
it the largest docket ever entered up
in Cedar county. OF course, SO doing
has entailed much work that should
have been done at previous terms but
if it shall result In needed reform and
improvement it will be undoubtedly
labor well placed.
