TmE Dubuque Herald has opened
its batteries upon the Republican
candidate for Congress in this Dis
trict, and it is significant at once of
the ul,ass:lilable character of Judge
Granger, and Of the class of readers
addressed by the Herald, that its sole
charge against him is that he is Il
strong temperance man. The Her.
ald virtually contcsscs that there is
nothing in the character or record OF
Judge Granger which should deprive
him of the confidence and support OF
honest, DECENT, and law-abi,ling men
of all parties. 1t brings against him
no charge of neglect or evasion OF
his duties, or corrupt administration
of law. Its accusation in plain IAN
guage is that he has, as district attor-
ncy and Judge, enforced the law ac-
cortling to his. oath, without fear or
favor or selfish bias; in short, the
Herald opposes Judge Grlngcravow-
cdly because he has proved himself
to he an honest, incorruptiblc, up
right public officer 1t does not pre-
tend to base its hostility on any i'm
piled or suggested lack of honesty or
capacity; it is simply an appeal to
the base and selfish prcjudiccs of the
habitual law-brcaking classes Of the
community, against an officer who
has done his duty too faithfully and
conscicntiously for their comfort. 1t
may be that the Herald will succeed
in convincing the class that consti-
tutes the majority Of its readers, that
an upright, faithful, fearless officer, is
unworthy Of further prcferment, but
what do honest, candid, unprcjudiccl
people think about it?

every man in town who was in bed

supposed to have been the cause. The
damage was slight.

JULY 10, 1873.
The new Baptist church is progress
ing toward completion slowly. The
brick work Is about completed, also
the roof. 1t is costing more than was
anticipated, and Rev. Il. l.. Spinney
has gone east after more funds. 1t is
large and expensive building, and is
taking the financial ability of those
having it in charge to keep things
moving.
An addition has been added to the
Catholic church.
Our new depot is under way, and
we will soon lave respectable
building in the place Of the old hull
that has disgraced the name of depot
so long. The new building is to be
l00x20 feet and finished in good style.
One of our firms, engaged in the
manufacture of wagons, has just re-
ceved several carloads of material
enough for 200 wagons. They employ
about twenty workmen and do large
business. Another firm. also large
manufacturers, are turning out nearly
or quite as many wagons as the former
firm. This speaks well for Pella as a
manufacturing town.
Harvest has been fairly inaugurated
over here and am told that most of
the wheat will be placed in shock this
past week. The crop is going to be a
good one
Our dealers in reapers, mowers and
threshing machines have been doing
q good business, having sold about all
they had on hand.
The apple crop hereabouts is going
to be short this season. The trees
were quite full in the early part of the
season, but the dry weather, we are
told, caused many of them to drop off,
Mr.. Van Houten's new brick resi-
dence is progressing finely, and when
completed will be an ornament to that
part of pella.
Miss Emeline Stem, of Monroe, is
teaching select school in one Of the
public school buildings.
Gerret Hol who was arrested here
some time ago for stealing goods out
of a ear and sent TO Oskalo,,sa Jail in
default OF Sl00e bail, was last week
taken before Judge Sampson on q writ
of hdbeas corpus aud his bond reduced
to $500, which lac gave, some one in
Oskaloosa going on it, and he is now
at home.
The new brick business houses be-
ing erected here are progressing as
rapidly as the workmen can pile up
brick and mortar. Maasdams is now
under roof. New roofs have also been
put-on Rhynsburger's and Sip Vier-
sens and Van Spanckeren's buildings.
Parties from Des Moines did the Job.

MARYsvILLE WOoLES MILL5.~-A
few days since we had opportunity to
visit tho WOODEN mills at Marysville,
owned aud operated by Messrs. Ulsh,
Bestor & Co., and by courtesy Of Mr..
Bestor, who has the supervision Of
the manufacturing department, were
shown through the establishment
which occupies fine building three
stories high, in addition to basement
story. The size of the main story is
35x6O; engine and dye house attached,
26x50 feet
On the first floor above the basement,
we find the four looms and the sale
room. The looms are OF the latest
patterns, adapted 10 a large range OF
work, and rapid aud superior execu-
ton. On the shelves in the sale room
there is great variety Of cassimeres,
satinets, jeans, waterproofs fanneis,
blankets, yarns, etc, of excellent quail
ity aud finish, and all to be had at
fair rates in exchange for raw nlateri-
al.
The second floor is occupied by three
sets Of carding machinery and spin
ming jack with $40 spindles. The
third story is used for storing and
drying wool. In the basement are
motive, washing, dyeing and finish
ing machinery, including an excellent
osciIating engine.
Our visit being made on the 4th Of
July, we Of course found the establish
meut quiet, the operatives being out
for holiday. Everything appeared
clean and in excellent order. There
seemed to be no lack of machinery
and needed appliances for turning out
very large amount of work, and yet
there is abundant room in the build
ing for health and comfort, and excel
lent ventilation for every apartment.
The marks Of Mr.. Bestor's careful and
intelligent supervision We're every
where apparent.
The active force Of tie concern COM
prises eighteen persons. The daily
consumption Of coal is slightly above
one ton. Two men and teams are
employed continually in collecting
wool, and carrying manufactured
goods for sale and exchange. The
field of trade embraces the counties o {
Marion, Jasper, Polk, Warren, Mad-
son, Clark, Lucas, Wayne, Decatur
and Monroe. Tie house finds ready
demand for all the goods 1t can make
and a full supply of wool without the
necessity of paying any cash.
The propretors think there is no
better location in Iowa than Marys-
Vile for their business, as they are i'm
the midst Of a wool-gr0wing region
and in the heart of the coal field.
Manufacturing institutions are the
great need of this part of the State,
where we have the requisite materials
In profusion, and only lack in railroad
facilities. Until we secure railroads
Marion county's resources cannot IN
any great degree be developed. Give
US railroads, with fair, wholesome
competition, and our prosperity and
upbuilding will surprise the most san
guine.
