Doc ANDREWS, who lives on the
west side of the river, was up before the
Mayor last Tuesday morning for that
most despicable of all offenses, wife whip
ping. With just enough whiskey in him
toarouse his brutal passions, he kicked
and choked his spouse until she was
obliged to call in the Marshal, who took
Andrews to Jail. In the morning, as al
ready stated, lie was brought before the
Mayor, and fined IS and costs. He was
at the same time admonished that the fine
would be doubled upon repetition of the
Offense.

2 An "Old Farmer" writing to the Dubu-
que Herald from Liberty township, in
this county, urges very strongly the
nomination of Mr.. Holdridge for Con-
gress by the Anti Monop Convention. He
pays some very high compliments to Mr..
Holdridge's ability and character, and
suggests that he is identified with the in
tcrests of the masses, because he is open
ing up one of the largest farms in the
county. We are glad to learn that our
friend Holdridge has a legitimate right to
sprinkle hay-seed in his flowing locks.

pear at Morse's Hall on Monday and Tues
day evenings of next week. The hall
has been thoroughly cleansed, renovated
and whitewashed, and the stage put in
complete order. With the fine scenery
of the Rawlins troupe it will be very
comfortable and attractive place of
amusement. The Comedy Company has
received high praises from the press in

THE CEDAR COUNTY ADVOCATE Is the
name of very neatly arranged and
printed newspaper which reaches our ia
BILE from St. Helena, Cedar Co. Neb. It
could not well help being creditable in
matter and style, considering that the
boys who got it up, Lawrence w. Chan
dler and ]. Dwight Smith, are both grad
yates of the BULLETIN office. Both typo
graphically and editorially, the paper
does the boys credit, and the people of
St. Helena may congratulate themselves
that few frontier towns are favored with
so enterprising and bright an exponent of
their interests as is the ADVOCATE. They
owe it to themselves and the locality to
give the boys good support. We will
vouch For them both as being personally
worthy of confidence and regard.

RAILROAD AccDENT.-Th engine of
the eastward bound passenger train of the
Central road, on Sunday night ran over
and killed man who was lying ON the
track six miles west Of Ackley. It was
accrtained that his, name was Geo. w.
Howe, and that he resided at Iowa Falls,
toward which place he was travelling on
foot. 1t is probable that wearied with
walking, he sat or laid down on the track
for rest, and fell asleep. He had walked
from Illinois soliciting work at various
points. His age was about 30 years.
