100000 MORE.-Last week the
Fund Commissioners settled in Chi
cago 100000 more Of the bond
claims against Iowa county at 60
cents on the dollar. This, we under
stand, leaves only about 100000
outstanding, which it is hoped will
soon be taken up at the same figure
as there is still enough left of the
loan from the State to pay the
amount required, about $9G, ,000
The whole trouble we consider prac-
tically at an end, and the county
now may move on to prosperity,
and in the next ten years pay oil the
debt to the State without feeling its
weight. Paid annually, with the
interest, it will only amount to an
average of $27,0 900 per year-less
than one-half Of one pr cent. Of the
county assessment--which can hurt
nobody.

THE CROPs.-The last ten days
have developed chinch bugs in such
multitudinous members, as to leave
no hope Of more than half q crop OF
cereals in Iowa coGnty, and but little
more in Grant and Lafayette. The
beautiful fields of wheat IN the
towns of Highland, Dodgeville, Lin
den, Mifilin and Mineral Point,
which two weeks ago promised SO
much are, many Of them, to-day
blighted and will not yield sufficient
to pay for the seed and harvesting
Barley, ripening earlier--being how
mostly cuts not SO total a loss as
wheat in some fields is sure to be
but the crop is very light and the
quality inferior, generally. Corr
thus far is not much damaged but
thereis ground to fear that the bugs
in accordance with their custom
will attack the corn as soon as the
wheat is disposed of. Oats promise
better, the bug not seeming to take
to that grain, Flax looks well. The
general crop of the county, it is
thought, will not be more than hall
an average.

SAYS the Platteville Witness: A
few nights ago three Williams went to
the house of Widow Compton, about
a mile east Of Dobson's mill, in the
town of Lima, and broke into the
house. The old lady took her child
and ran, followed by the scoundrels
who, report says, caught her and
ravished her. They then returned
to the house and set fire to it and
burned it to the ground. The par
ties are known and an effort will be
made to bring them to justice.

THE new Smalley House, at Mus
coda, is rapidly progressing; the
walls of the west wing are up, and
this section will be ready for occu-
pancy about Sept. 10Th. The south
wing is going up as rapidly as pos
sible, and will be completed before
frost falls. The building is of Mil
waukee brick, three stories high,
fronting 100 feet west, and the same
south. The plan is much the same
as that of the Park Hotel, of Madi-
son, and the building, when com
plete, will present nearly as fine an
appearance. It's cost, when fur
nished cannot fall short Of S25, 900
more money than is invested in
all the hotel buildings in Mineral
Point. 1t would pay our people to
donate to such a man as Smalley
$4,000 to erect and conduct in this
city such hotel as he is building
at Muscoda. A good hotel well
kept, is the chief want Of Mineral
Point. We have long hoped to see
the want supplied, but begin to fear
we shall need spectacles to view its
beauties before the hope will be
realized.

CHARLES GILMAN has pur-

possession, we understand, Aug. lst.
Mr., Gilman has appointed J. IT,

prove a worthy deputy for so worthy

THE sad Intelligence was received

Sims, son of late Geo. Sims, of this
place, was struck by lightning at
HaZad, Iowa, the evening before,
and instantly killed. He was a
young man about twenty-three years
old, and stood high in the estimation
of those who knew him. This is the
second time this afflicted family has
been called upon to mourn the loss
of one of their number in a few
months. They have the sympathy
of the entire community in this sad
bereavement, and may He who ere
membereth that we are dust" pour
out the oil Of consolation on their
sorrow-stricken arts,-DodgeDiHe

ANOTHER sad affection has been visited
upon the family Of our esteemed citizen,
Governor j. w. Throckmorton, in the death
Of his oldest daughter, Mrs. Jennie Moore,
wife of Dr. w. Moore, of this city. Our
entire community. deeply sympathise with
the bereayed and devoted husband, and also
with the family of Governor Throckmorton.
In few short months Hugh and Jennie
the two oldest children-have been called
away from the family circle.
These Affections are keenly felt in the
affectionate sympathy of all our people. 2
Governor Throckmorton was in Marshall,
and, in response to telegram, arrived at
home few hours after the death Of his
daughter She was buried on Thursday
last.
Mrs. Moore left an infant child four or
FIVE days d.-AeKiRney Enquirer Mag 80.
We tender the Governor and his stricken
family eur sincere coincidence. We all
have to bear the loss of precious ones whose
memories are treasured IN our heart of
hearts. But we are not like the storm
tossed mariner who sees his vessel sink be-
meath the boisterous waves, and knows that
all is lost. Hope points to period in the
future when the loved ones will welcome us
to the new life, endless and glorious.

,ERfds DSiaocnafic Stateanals-Our CITY
now stands wavering in the balance as 10
whether her future shall be one OF CON
tinued success and prosperity, going on to
great commercial importance, centre for
trade for tins portion Of our great State, OF
whether she Nil sink gradually, bat surely,
by lack Of the requisite enterprise of her
citizens 70, grasp new the advantages that
Will draw to, and place her trade upon
solid and peFmalent basis. On the south
OF US Is being built railroad running from
galveston lnto = country, the trade Of
which was once ours, but which viii come
70 US no longer unless VIC counteract the
advantage gained by Galveston in the
construction of this road. Then again,
once there was q trade on the line cf
the Central road, the came 10 Us. bat now
Is taken directly from us. Soon We hope
for the completion OF the International
railroad % this city, which viii give us a
direct line 70 the great Western States Of
the onleni but this Is not all advantage,
unless sc make It so. Much Of the trade
coming here from the direction Of Rock
dale VIII be carried from Us on this road 10
other points-GalvestOn and st. Louis.
These, by the completion Of thisroad 10 San
Antonio, win take and bring trade through
our city without stopping and 1t Is very
easy to see that unless we use the talent in
trusted to our care, even that we now have
shall be taken from US.
There has been an effort made here by
some Of our merchants to form Joint stock
company 70 ercot cotton compress in
our city, but some have given the effort
"a cold shoulder Now what will this en-
terpTise alone do for usl First, il will facil-
ltate the cheap handling of cotton. secure
for us direct buyers Of cotton from Eastern
spinners and European speculators, and
enable them to ship cotton all rail TO the
Northeast at greatly reduced freights, or to
I all European ports without any handling at
Galveston, only from cars to ships; will
save to them, in charges Of all kinds, fully
two dollars per bale, and they can handle, ex-
anime and classify their cotton here to bet
ter advantage than at the seaboard. Now,
what viii it do for our people9 II will make
market here at nearly Galveston prices,
and save all the charges they must
pay when sent TO other markets foi
sale, and leave the cotton in their OWE
keeping until they shall have its equiva-
lent in value within their own grasp. Il
will to our citizens be valuable TO induce
the railroads to centre all in their power
the cotton here from near local points OF
their roads, which they viii do by giving
reduced rates to Austin, as two hands ar
peter to them than one and make them IN
terested to build Us up asa cenhe, as oul
supplies and cotton must come and go b!
rail. Some of our people who see and fee
these truths win make another effort to Sc
cure for our city compress, and il is to b,
hoped that all viii reconsider, sand that Il
this as well as other enterprises, our peopli
will go in a SOLID column TO battle for on
beautiful little city and her interests.

The extent to which fraud and corruption
have taken hold Of the minds and hearts of
public officials may be better understood by
reading the following from the New York
Herald:
Ak OLD Trick REyIyED.-Assemblym
Weed, of Clinton, has discovered that the
supply bill is not in the condition in which
it left the hands of the conference commit
tee and finally became q law. Between the
time of its passage and its arrival in the
Executive Chamber several little jobs are
supposed to have been "ixed up" by
those through whose hands it passed
among others, one which fixes the salary of
the Superintendent of the new capitol
building at ten thousand dollars a year.
This operation of inserting matter In bills
after their passage is an old Albany trick,
and, no doubt, is made profitable to the
clerks, especially in such measure as a
supply bill.
In Florida, two years ago, its present
Governor, who was then a State Senator,
was charged with forging Law for the sale
of the Agricultural College scrip, and Gov
ernOr Reed, of that State, was followed II
Washington by the State Superintendent o.
Public Instruction, Mr.. Chase, who jus,
reached there in time to prevent the sale
They are both carpet-baggers of the wors
stripe.

The FAIR NEXT FALL.-In the account
of the meeting of the stockholders of the
Capital Fair Ground Association, published
a few days ago, we omitted one matter OF
great importance. The account of the
meeting did not state that for convenience
of farmers and others, the shares of the
association will be put at $50 currency each.
All persons interested in this matter, and
who desire to take stock, can do so by call,
ing on the president or secretary, at the
Office of Hancock, West & North. Nc
time should be lost in subscribing for stock
and fully organising for the coming fair.
