w. X. FERGUSON, of this place, who
has for the past three years been a
student of the State University at
Iowa City, graduated in the Law De-
partment last month, with a class of
over fifty members. Having been
chosen by the class az its historian he
gave the Glass History, on Class Day
June 9th, in a very creditable manner,
as we learn from the Republican,
which says it was as veracious as
Knickerbocker's history of the Dutch
rule in New York. He made many
happy hits at the expense of his class
mates, and kept the audience in mel
low mood" His diploma entities him
to practice in the Supreme Courts of
the State. Having formed partner
ship with Mr.. J. II. Chandler he has
located at Winterset, where he will
enter the practice of his chosen profess
sion, after spending few days here.
We can heartily commend him to the
people Of that city as a young man
worthy Of their confidence, esteem
and patronage.

cessful. Nonegroe~ are being Killed; the
Southern people have not inaugurted a

The statement comes from Mr. Cress-
well, one of the Commissioners of the
Freedman's Bank, Washington City, that
it will require S6OO,OOOto enable the com
missioners to declare a dividend Of 20
per cent. as yet they have collected but
$4,000. With careful husbandry of the
resources Mr.. Cresswell estimates that
the bank will eventually pay 40 percent
How Mr.. Cresswell will make his figures
work is rather dark. fit takes $500 600
to pay 20 per cent. and there has only
been $4,000 collected, where is the 40
per cent. to come from? Mr.. Cresswell
ought to let the public know where the
money went to. Perhaps another Court
Of Inquiry upon the "Christian soldier"
o. o. Howard might go some distance in
settling the question.

sas. in which $4,000 acres had been
planted in corn produced not a bushel
Five ofthem have raised wheat, rye oats,
barley, and buckwheat, barely enough
for food, but the other twelve are totally
destitute and being new settlers, have
expended their means. These twelve
counties have a population of 23,SS7, as
shown by the State census taken last
June. The eight counties in which the
greatest destitution prevails, are on the
remote frontier and have been settled
within a year or two. The settlers are
destitute Of food, clothing, and fuel. The

our NEIGHBORS OF THE ALLEl

OUR NEIGHBORS OF THE ALLEf'
Our neighbors of the Repository estab-
hshmeni whence, and, from whose brains
issue weekly, dishes, more or less wedkly
of mental throes and efervescences, in
both English and Zeitlng Deutcher
sprach, seem little inclined to answerour
interrogatories. In their late issues they
pay more or less attention to the editor
of the DEMoCRAT, who has long since be-
come used to the feeble "deporS ofthese
worthless. The firm of Schefer, Bascom
& Saxton carry the brain power of the
establishment (such as it is), especially
the first named. "As for "corporosity"
the last named gentleman excels; while
the middle named may be distinguished
specially, for venerable dignity,-ahem
The first named, is the distinguished
man, who did not defeat old Bill Allen,
and who did not get up independent
tickets last spring, who built our water
works, who had hand as County Com
missioner in building our new Court
House, his being specially the gas depart
ment-in fact, like Holy Willie.
"A burnin' and a shinin light
Schaefer has nothing to say ON that
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
DEFICIT in his water works account, as
reported by the committe appointed b
the City Council. AS we have already
stated, there is but one opinion now
among our citizens concerning the water
works. Their miserable or fraudulent
construction has become manifest, and
their enormous cost, for such lcorks, is fully
All this our citizens fully understand
They remember, too, these works were
to cost some FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS and
then we were to have the sparkling wa
ter from our lovely lake" All this was
promised. For few months the town
was supplied with the lake water, but the
construction was so wretched that it did
not continue and we were reduced TO the
water of the west creek anditsoremains.
1t is found that to give us the lake water
will cost more probably than it would
have done in the first place.
1t may be said the engineer was not
the man. Why, did not Mr., Schaefer go
east for him, as he did once for female
teachers for our public schools2 Did he
get frauds in every case? Nothing suits
him, except what he gets East or finds in
Virginia We suppose it is true that the
engineer, so called, had never had any
thing to do in building water works till
Schaeier employed him forours. The real
engineer was Schaefer, and the presump-
ton is, the so-called engineer, just suited
him as his school marms did Inall this
we may see the utter selfshness and sor-
didness of the cdtin
The Repository has not yet explained
why it was their County Commissioners
in 1871, came so suddenly to stop when
they started to investigate Schaeler's gas
fitting purchase for the Court House.
Public Indignation was great and the
commissioners, all Republicans, made
start to look into it, but Immediately
stopped. Now let the Repository folks, or
Schaeier "rise and explain" it. Do not
run of up the alley, but face the music.
