DON'T PAY.-Wc have heard the ques-
ton asked several times of late, by farm
crs, why it is that our egg and butter
dealers do not pay as high prices tor those
articles as do the dealers of Manchester?
We were convinced that our dealers are
as cnterprising as those of any other
locality, and that if the facts were as
stated, that they could be explained on
other grounds than their want of libcrality.
We have the explanation in the last issue
of the Manchester Press, which says:
A gentleman from IllinoS came to this
place last week, to engage in the purchase
of butter and eggs; but after watching our
market for day or two, he became con-
WINGED that there was no money in hand
ling these articles at the prices which our
dealers were paying for them, and he con-
cluded to go further west.
Now it is safe to say that if the Man
chester dealers are doing business without
profit, their. Offers of high prices will be
spasmodic and not long continued. We
have the proof of this in the experience
of some farmers from this vicinity who
have hauled their produce to Manchester,
and, finding that they had arrived OH the
off day, have sold it for lower prices than
they could get at home. The next day,
perhaps, prices would go kiting, for effect
This state of things cannot continue, and
we are convinced that in the long run our
farmers cannot do better than market
their produce at home. Our dealers in all
kinds of produce buy at as close a mar
gin as the market will bear for legitimate
operations.

SCANDALOUs. - A most indecent and
scurrilous article in the Dubuque Times
of Wednesday, rejecting upon the charac
tiers of two of our most respectable citizens
and their families, and pretending to
detail circumstances rs untruthful as they
were scandalous, has created an intense
feeling of indignation among our citizens.
Without entering details, it is only necessa-
ry to say that in any possible view of it
the article in question was entirely I'M
called for and not creditable to any re-
spectacle journal. And here we give our
unsolicited opinion, that the Times cannot
afford to compete, as it seems to be trying
to do, with the Herald in scurrility and
obscenity: first, because it cannot hope to
do so with success; and secondly, because
its readers-we speak of our own locality
demand something more dignficd and
hcalthful at its hands. The class of read
ers to which that paper is supposed to
look for its main support and countenancc
are not partial to sensational indecency,
even if it have the element of truth,
which it had not in this case. We speak
thus unreservedly because we think that
the sentiments herein expressed will coin
eide with those of the principal editor of
the Times.

REVOLUTION in the air, all will feel it.

INDIAN SUMMER-The man or woman
who is not prompted to rhapsodize, or
gush in some manner, over the delicious
weather we are now enjoying in this re-
gion, has no poetry or sentiment in his or
her nature, and is fit for treason, strate-
gem, &c. (see Shakespeare.) We notice
that the local of the Dubuque Herald in
default of original ideas on the subject,
steals quarter column of prose poetry on
the Indian Summer from the WdUerIy
MAGAZINE of twelve years ago, but even
this is better than stolid indifference to the
sensuous charms of this unrivaled season !;
besides, we should not be too critical of
the impulse to STEAL SO natural for the
Herald. Truly, the dying year is tread
ing the "dusky road to death in the most
graceful and composed manner.
P. S.-To avoid possible contingencies,
we explain that the above was written
yesterday.

Mrs. Emma T. Anderson against the ILL

favor of Mrs. A., in the the sum of
$4,000. Exceptions were taken to the
verdict by the attorneys of the railroad,

motion was argued on Tuesday before
Judge Bagg, and the motion for new

PRAIRIE FIREs.-The following sections
from the Code of Iowa may be found of
interest at this time
SEC. 1899. If any person wilfully, or
without using proper caution, set fire to
and burn, or cause to be burnt, any prai-
rie or timbercd land by which the proper
ty of another is Injured or destroyed, he
shall be fined not exceeding five hundred
dollars, or Imprisonment in the county
Jail not more than one year, or by both
fine and imprisonment at the discretion
of the court.
Sec. 1890. If any person set fire to and
burn, or cause to be burned any prairie
or timber land, and allow such fire to es-
cape from his control, between the first
day of September in any year and the
first day of May the year following he
shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor,
and, upon conviction thereof, shall be pun
ished by imprisonment in the county Jail
not more than thirty days, or by fine not
exceeding one hundred dollars.

"E. c. B." the impulsive, though we
believe honest correspondent of the Con.
seruatiue, who in last years campaign
amused himself and us by firing blank
charges at the BULLETIN, puts in rather a
late appearance this week, in the columns
of that paper, still in the characteristic
vein. He is boiling with Indignation that
the Anti-Monopoly party should be classed
with the 'damnable Democratic party"
and pours one of his especially pungent
walls of wrath upon the BULLETIN because
we "insolently" placed the word Demo
cratic over the vote cast againt the Repub-
lican candidates at the late election, say
ing, with fine glow of indignant protest,
that "the Autobiography party was not
organized to revive the damnable party
called the Democratic party"
Our young Hotspur should know that
parties are not always judged by their
professions. This district is saddled with
a representative in Congress who is claim
ed by the majority of those who supported
him as Democrat of the unadulterated
school, and who himself, since the cleo
ton, admits the soft Impeachment Now
who is responsible for the election of this
Democratic representative, if not the An
ti-Monopoly party? That party gave him
the vote without which he would have
been in hopeless minority in the district
Viewing the election in the light of its re-
suits, is it ''insolent" and Insulting" to say
that the vote that elected Ainsworth was
practically Democratic?. We are aware
that some of our friends of the late Anti
Monopoly party repudiate the name De-
mocracy, and, no doubt, honestly abhor
the principles of that party, but they must
consent to be judged by the results of their
action, rather than their high-sounding
professions.
They may, as does our friend "E. c.
b." indulge in pyrotechnic displays of
bunkum about "the affairs of their God,
and the affairs of their country" they may
get off spread-eagle flights about Joining
heads, hearts and hands in the great strug-
gle for freedom and our rights" but the
fact still remains, which no amount of
highs soaring fustian will obscure, that by
the direct aid of the Autobiography party
the "damnable Democracy" has secured
foot hold in the Iowa Congressional dele
cation.
Let "E. G. B." come down off his high
stills and view the situation in the light of
reason and passing events. Is it possible
that with the lessons of the late election
before him, he cannot see the ridiculous
ness of his talk about the survival of
the ephemeral Anti-Monopoly organi-
cation? Does he not realize that hence
forth it is twice-told tale, ghostly
legend of disappointed ambitions, cast
off garment?

DEMONSTRATING the thunder storm
on Wednesday evening, the house of D.
l.. Smith, on the west side, was struck by
lightning, the bolt first striking galvan-
lied chimney top on the kitchen, thence
passing down the roof to the eaves-trough
and thence by way of the conductor to the
cistern. No damage was done the house
save the tearing up of few shingles, nor
were the inmates affected by the shock
A close call.

FARMERS INSTITUTE see by the
Manchester Press that the Grange Coun-
Gil of Delaware county has already taken
action with regard to holding Farmers
Institute at Manchester in January, to con-
tinue in session four days. Efforts have
been made the past two winters to get up
Farmers Institutes in this county, but
without success. Such meetings are of
incalculable value to the practical farmer
and pay largely for the trouble and ex-
pense attending them. We hope the
Grange organization, or the Agricultural
Society will take the matter in charge and
make arrangements for an Institute here.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Dubuque
Herald, who recently visited our city, in
attempting warmed-over description of
the great fire of last May, says:
''The flames went clear through the
doomed buildings like flying streamers.
Water engines played, and curses alike
were of no avail"
The brilliant idea of employing pro-
family as an agent for the extinguishment
of fires is original with the correspondent.
Until suggested by him, we doubt if any
body here ever thought of it.

AUTUMN LEAVES. -The ladies will be
interested in the following information
regarding the best method of pressing Au-
tumn leaves
Iron them fresh with warm mot hot
iron, on which some spermaceti has been
lightly rubbed. This method preserves
perfectly their lovely tints. The process
is very rapid and very agreeable, and no
lady who has ever tried the tedious and
uncertain experiment of pressing will ever
again resort to it after once trying this
new and better way"

AGUE CONQUERER.
No Quinn, No Arsenic, No Poison

This is strong language, as physicians
have for years tried to compound prepa-
ration that would entirely cure FEVER
AND AGuE without the use of strong med
icines such as Quinnine, Arsenic and 9th
er poisons injurious to the system. There
is no case of Fever and Ague, Intermit-
tent or Bilious Fevers, Congestive Chills,
Night Sweats, Liver Complaint, &c, that
this remedy will not cure at once and per
manantly. 1t purities the Blood, Liver,
Spleens, and all secretory organs so eff
fectually that the Chills will not return
during the season, even when people have
had them for years. Sold by c. r. WAL

Stop That Cough !

Many persons hesitate to try remedy
for disease, on account of the expense.
connected with the uncertainty of its ben
efitting them; while, at the same time, had
they confidence in that remedy, the ex-
pense would be the least objection. With
this fact in view, we make the following
propositions: Any person suffering with
cold, cough or sore throat, that will call
at p Tabor & Sons store and purchase a
bottle of Hales Cough Cordial, use one
half of 1t, and if they then conclude that
it is doing them no good, they can return
the bottle and receive back their money.
No medicine ever sold in this vicinity,
that produced such magical results. Don't
fail to try it. Orange Williams, Proprie-
tor, GAINESVILLE, Wis. limo

SPoNGING This is what the Pella
Blade has to say on this subject:
When you want notice of some en-
terprise in which you are interested,
sponge on your local paper; but if you
want any printing done, give your order
to some drummer out of town, or some
job office, which cannot aid the enterprise
by giving it a notice"
There are people who follow the above
ironical advice implicitly, and seem to
think it the proper thing to do.
