"Unols Joe's" Detection Unsettleth
tho Mind Of Another of the
Faithful, John Smith.

LINE CREEK, Dec. II, II.
Mr.. EDIToR:-You can hardly imagine
my feelings on picking up last week
BULLETIN, to notice the article over the
signature of "Uncle joe" Becoming ac-
quainted with him when he was in The
book peddling business in our vicinity,
had fully made up my mind that the most
of the ideas that were lying around
loose had been picked up by Uncle joe
that, in fact, what he did not know was not
worth knowing, especially with regard to
politics, in which he was an oracle. You
should have seen the air of wisdom with
which he would dive into his capacious
pocket for that worn copy of the COnser
cdtiUe (he always carried one), from which,
unfolding it with great care, he would
read to us with great JUNCTION the terrible
corruption of the Republican party, and
then stop and explain to us that all that
was necessary to rectify these errors was
for us Changers to vote the Democratic
ticket. Then up would come the COnser-
Uatire, and after little more reading,
Uncle Joe would apparently get slightly
mixed in the chop logic of that Oracular
sheet, and would, with solemn shake of
the head, mildly remark: "Well, boys,
don't jest know how tits, but you take the
Conservative and read it keerfully, espec-
tally studdyin' them profound articles
signed e. G. b. and guess, somehow
or 'nuther, you'll come out all right. y
Well, Uncle Joe, being an educated man
(thcy are mighty scarce, you know, in our
party, took his advice and the Conser
catice. ] read it, voted just as it said,
and thought | was getting along swim
mingly, when the article by Uncle Joe
came to my notice, and it has unsettled
me. If shining lights like Uncle Joe get
muddled, and papers so fierce and aggres-
sive few months ago as the Conservative
now get weak in the knees over the politi-
cal situation, what will become of so illit
crate a person as JOHN SMITH.

Bro. Snyder, of the Cedar Falls Gazette
who was in our city taking observations
a couple of weeks since, contributes to
his paper the following complimentary
notice of our institutions and improve
ments. Like all intelligent observers he
recognizes the importance of our Free
Public Library, and appreciates its benef
cent influences:
\ town that can burn down its old
fire engine, put in gas, and be doing II
rushing business on the old spot, all in
one short season, may be called light
ming town. The well filled and well ar
ranged stores shine like new dollars, and
are doing a better business, they say, than
ever. Bro. Toman has one of the best
rooms in the country for the BULLETIN,
and complete Office to correspond. 1t
would do all the postmasters good to look
at the Independence postofiicc. With a

The public library and reading room,
organized under the new law, allowing
towns and cities to vote a tax, not exceed
ing one mill each year, for the establish
ment and support of public library, is u
feature of special interest The one mill
tax gives sum of nearly one thousand
dollars, which is expended in renting and
fitting up rooms, well supplied with pa
pcrs, periodicals and books. They are
evidently read to an extent which must
tell upon the intelligence and morals Of
the town. The rooms are free to all who
comply with the excellent regulations and
give the requisite guaranty. Indepen-
dcnce was the first town in the State to
organize public library, and the success
attending the enterprise recommends it to

Banks Again.

With the removal of Banks, the bur-
glar, to the Anamosa prison, we naturally
supposed, Notwithstanding his confident
assertion that he would not remain there
long-that he would not furnish the ma.
terial for newspaper paragraph for some
time to come. But the following, which
shows that he is at his old tricks;
Last Tuesday night Noah Banks, sent
up for term Of five years from Benton
county tor burglary and larceny, made
his escape from the penitentary at Ana
mosa. Banks had secrcted himself in a
privy, and when the men were counted
at night, the guard, b" some strange over
sight, made an error in his count, and
Banks disappearance was not observed
Consequently he had all night before him
and, of course, escaped the stockade and
"slid out"
A reward of $50 is offered for his re-
capture. His complexion is fair, has
brown or hazel eyes, dark hair, "a little
gray scar on right cheek and right hip,
and limps in walking-or did while here.
Weight, 140 pounds; height, feet, y

LATER.-Barks has been recaptured.
He broke into the post-ofiice last night ut
Viola, helped himself to six or seven dol
lars in change and some cheese and crack
ers. Then he made for the depot, got in
and gobblcd up an ovcrcoat. The next
move was for sleeping quarters, and as
the night was growing very cold he hunted
until he found straw stack which he
crawled into. This Thursday morning
the robberies were Of course discovered,
search made and the fresh tracks leading
to the straw stack found. Banks was
taken with a warrant, brought back, and
is now behind the bars, in the bean-pick-
ing business.

Abiding to one of the travelling hum
bugs with which Iowa is cursed, the
Cedar Rapids Republican very sensibly
remarks:
We observe that Rowe Brothers of
Chicago, Through their agents. are deliv-
ering groceries to the club who purchased
their goods in this city. An examination
of the bills sold to different parties, con
WINGED us of the fact that the same goods
could be bought in the same quantities for
less money, from our own grocers. Then
why send your money abroad instead of
patroniZing our home merchants. If we
ever expect to amount to anything as
city, this practice of sending abroad for
articles that could just as well be pur-
chased here, will have to ceasc-it is one
of the best ways we know of to kill
town. 1t is better even to pay little
more to your home merchant for any
article that he can supply than to send
money out of the city.

Uncle Joe Again.

What in all this world ails my loving

plains that he don't sleep well. lam worried
about him. Is it worms, or wind on his
stomach, or a relapse of the whooping
cough, or measles, or mumpsg II it is
any or all of these, he can get relief. We
have brought all the children and grand
children, as well as nephews and nieces,
safe through all these. II it is the ''itch
again" caused by reading my mournful
wall in the BULLETIN, why, let him scratch,
but if his sleeplessness is caused by an at
tack of poetry, and it should strike in,
why, Mr.. BULLETIN that, child is goner.
A dose of thunder ahd lightning, or moth
er Winslow's Soothing Syrup, wouldn't
save him. As soon as get through my
hurry, will come up and look at the case,
meanwhile let the world keep wagging
right on, as though nothing had happened,
and possibly he may come out of it, but
above all things, let the patient be kept
cool and quiet, if possible.
And, now word or two to Uncle Tom
about that cow Tis true did not sag
that she ever did kicked but that once,
Dui L lulIN d5Tcc WItH tIlc Hl'tIi WIZ
sold her to me. | shall always think the
man who said she was gentle COW, lied
about it in some way. Being 4 Granger
COW, she was probably stung bya Granger
bee-that kind of bees are apt to be round
singing cows in December, when the
thermometer is ninety-seven below freeze.
Your connundrums: Does she do this, or
that, or tother? l give 'cm all up; did
not keep her long enough to get very
intimately acquainted. But your surmlse,
that she is awkward with her hind foot,
is incorrect, for she is wonderfully handy
with same foot Uncle Tom, you know
all about that cow You sold her to
Leandcr Jenkins You advise me here
after to walk up to that COW on my head.
Now, you think you have said something
sharp, don't you? Now, Uncle Tom, do
you really think should SO far forget
myself as to publicly exhibit the grand
signal Of distress adopted by all true
Changers? Not much; don't. You may
make such things work on green Grang-
er, but not on UNCLE JOE.

CHRISTMAS.

This annual festival, with its hallowed
associations, its joyous suggestions and
inspirations of peace, good will, happiness,
affection, good cheer and friendship, is
once more with us. The genial season is
always welcome to young and old, always
opens hearts, brightens the links of family
affection and brings Il flood-tide of happi-
ness to the children Hard times does not
dim its brightness or dampen its pleasures,
for who thinks of foregoing the pleasure
of giving or receiving presents on this
joyous day. The value of the gift bears
no relation to its significance as an express
sion of affection or friendship. For the
juveniles, Christmas is season of extatic
delights. Bounding hearts, beaming faces,
and shouts, and glee, attest their apprecia-
ton of it; while hard and sordid, indeed,
must be the man whose heart is not
thawcd, and whose pulse strings are not
loosed, by the genial influence of this
time.
