The Knoxville VOTER is publishing
series of big stories this spring. IL
latest effort IL hens egg presented
the editor, somewhat less than q foo,

was found to contain a second egg, Of
ordinary size, perfectly formed. Next
week the VOTER will break
this second egg, and the shades
of Mnnchausen only knows what
be will find In that. A steam
boat, may be.--Hdrkeye.
We have broken the egg, and found
the steamboat, not In the egg, how
ever. We leave the imaginative local
OF the Howkcye to relate the Munich
auson stories, and confine our nara
tons strictly to the truth. The steam
boat we have found is now in process
Of construction, and nearly complet-
ed, by Geo. Conwell. It's length is IS
inches, width inches. It is a beau
tifnl miniature side-wheel steamer,
made mostly of tin. Upon its deck
appear the anchor, line, capstan, gang
plank, boilers, engine, ETC., complete.
It's cabin, Texas, pilot house, smoke
stacks, escape pipes, jack staff, flag
and vane, its wheels, guns, small
boats, ornamental railing, and other
appurtenances are as perfect In appear
ance as on the real ocean or river
steamer and the whole craft only less
beautiful in that il is less grand in
size, power and usefulness. When
finished 1t will be launched in basin
several feet in diameter built in Con-
wells ice cream hall. The basin will
be supplied by spray from an artificial
fountain. The steamer bears upon
her wheel-house the name Virgin
ius.u She will carry about 20 pounds
of lead in her hold, for ballast, and
will be propelled by the machinery
upon her deck. Mr.. Conwell il max
ing a fine display Of his mechanical
genius and skill upon this little steam

Wells during the heated term Of
this year will enjoy beautiful sight
at the fountain.

LIBEL sultan interesting libel
suit was tried i'm the District Court at
Montezuma, Poweshiek county, last
week. 1t will be remembered that
during the Rebellion a company was
organized i'm Poweshiek county, osten.
sibiy az State Militia, but really com
posed of men holding sentiments Of
disloyalty to the Government, and
banded for the purpose of opposing
the draft. as WAS charged at THE time,
and currently believed ever since.
This company was under command
of one Capt. Carpenter, and among Its
members were Mike Gleason and the
Fieeners, who murdered the Provost
Marshais, Woodruff Of Knoxville and
Bashore of Centreville.
Capt. Carpenter was before the PEG.
pie of Poweshiek county last fall as 8
candidate for Supervisor, and Lon
Boydston, formerly Of this place,
wrote communication for the Mon.
tezuma Republican, reminding the
people of Carpenters record during
the war. This communication was
admitted TO the columns Of the Re
publican; and Carpenter commenced
the suit referred to above, against Mr.
Cheshire, the editor, for damage IL
the sum of $4,000. At the trial last
week, Messrs. Martin and Murphy
of Davenport appeared as counsel fol
the plaintiff, and Messrs. Stone of thii
place, and Sewers of Oskaloosa, mp
peared for the defense. The suit wa
settled by agreement, Carpenter ac
cepting verdict for one dollar.

Several OF our citizens have this
week received letters from III. II. Day,
OF Charlton, President of the contem-
plated railroad from this place to Char
iton, In regard to st. Louis connection
with DesMoines which has been talked
of by way of Abba and Knoxville,
assuring the people 0. this county that
the same connection could be made
with Des Moines, by building 65 miles
OF road by this place, instead of ITO
miles which will be required by way
OF Abba and Knoxville. This IL the
natural route between st. Louis and
Central Iowa, and If that road Is to
be built there IL no good reason why
we may not secure IL. 1t would run
through n country needing these rail-
road facilities, and having every
natural indueement for its building.
We hope our citizens will Immediately
go to work and use every effort to se-
cure this much needed Improvement.
1t is only a question of time when
there will be a direct north and south
connection with st. Louis, and we
have only to make the proper effort tn
secure It. We hope to hear of meet
ings being called in all parts of the
county on the line of the proposed
road Immediately. and steps taken for
doing something, -lndianola 1rih.

"GoNE TO Iowa. We understand
that II. Dillon & Co. have sold their
imported Norman stallion Neptune To
Messrs. peirce Dc Smick OF Knoxville,
Iowa. Neptune is said to be one of the
best specimens of the Norman family,
and will be great acquisition TO the
horse interests of that section; they
also take the yearling Norman stallion
colt Senator, price 5000, and six months
mare colt, Sally Smiley, The two lat
ter are deep Ia the Norman stock"
The above we clip from the Bloom
ington, (Ill.) Pantogroph, of & recent
date. Neptune is thoroughbred Nor
man horse, recently imported to this
country. He Is n light gray, z years
old, liz hands high, and weighs ,76O
pounds. His present owners, Messrs.
p. & S., paid for him the round sum OF
$500. He is the only full-blood Nor
man in this part Of Iowa. Farmers,
and others interested in the improve
ment of our stock Of horses, should see
this noble specimen of heavy draft
stock when they come to the city. The
colt Senator, named above, although
only about nGe months old, is nearly
as large rs our ordinary full-grown
horses. He Is dark iron gray seven
eighths Norman stock; weight $50
pounds at months old. The filley
weighs Gl5 pounds at six moths old.
Heavy draft horses are just what we
want in Iowa to supply the market and
for home use on the farm and road.
The Normans exactly fill these wants.
This matter is worthy the attention OF
all interested, and that means every
farmer In Marion County. The intro
duction Of good, blooded stock should
DO encouraged,

RAILROAD TO ST.. LoUIs.--Knox-

ABSTRACT of proceedings Of the
Board of Supervisors ut its last week 8
session is given herewith. The ses-
sion was short, as there was less bust
ness To be consiDdered than usual at
the regular sessions. A large share Of
the time was occupied In auditing
claims. G. Il. Boydston's appoint
ment as Deputy Treasurer was con-
firmed, and his salary was fixed at
500 for the year. His bill Of $40, for
less than three months service, was
allowable $ll0. Bills for similar
service by Mr.. Ewalt and Mr.. Nollen,
during the same time, were presented.
For several years past the county has
paid for extra help in the Treasurer's
office but little over 500 year. The
majority Of the Board thought the
Treasurer should pay all bills above
800 per year as tfrg work IL no greater
now than during past years.

The LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPER

The LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPER
ANCE.-We congratulate the Temperance
world on the success everywhere attend
ing the use of VINEGAR BITTERs. Ger
tainly no preparation containing alcohol
has accomplished such cures of malarious
fever, biliousness, dyspepsia, rheumatism,
lung complaints, constipation and general
debility, as we hear of from all quarters,
as the results of this famous vegetable
specific. No true philanthropist will re-
greet to see spirituous liquors expelled
from medical use, If they can be safely
dispensed with; and that they are not
necessary in any case of sickness. what
ever its character, appears at last to have
been demonstrated. If public opinion is
capable of making any impression upon
the minds of the Faculty, they will ere
long introduce the most popular of mod
ern medicines into the hospitals, and pre-
scribe it in their practice. The millions
have given the article fair trial; it has
more than answered their expectations,
and no theoretical opposition can shake
their faith in it. Ii
