School ELECTloN.-The announce

Of the electors of the Independent
District Of Upton appears in another
column. The sense OF the people
upon ma ter of some interest to
the district, not indicated by that
notice, is to be taken at the same
time and place. 1t will be remem-
bered that several hundred dollars
belonging to the district was stolen
from the then Treasurer, Mr.. Jno. S.
Tuthill, at the time of the burglary
of the County Clerks vault. At the
request of Mr.. Tuthill the Board OF
Directors propose to elicit from the
district at this election al expression
upon the question of releasing him
from obligation on account of that
money, and the tickets will be SC
printed as to give all an apportunit,
to vote for or against such release
A petition asking his release was cir

signed by nearly three hundred vo

accept Mr.. Tuthill's own suggestio,
and put it beyond all cavil by sub

TEMPERANCE TIDAL WAvE.-The
great wave of opposition to the de-
mon lntemperance is not only rolling
higher and wider in Ohio, where it
started, but its rehux is reaching
eastward and westward. The first
places i'm Iowa. so far as we have
heard, in which any active interest
has manifested itself, were two Cedar
county towns-Mechanicsville and
Durant. Correspondents allude to
the demonstrations in both places,
and we are without details further
than furnished by them.
The Mechanicsville ladies, as we
learned incidentally, were to repeat
their efforts on yesterday with their
numbers increased to more than
double. OF the result We hear moth.
ing. But something has been ac-
complished in some places, as may
be inferred from the following spe-
cifc statement made in Tuesdays
Journal:
"Returns from twenty-five different
towns in Ohio in which the women
have besieged the liquor-sellers with
prayers, hymns and exhortations,
show that up to last Thursday even
ing 100 liquor-saloons have thus far
been induced to close up, and twen-
ty-two liquor-selling drug stores have
abandoned the traffic. Seventy-6ve
saloons and four drug stores in those
towns still remain to be conquered,
and the praying women show no
signs Of Encouragement"
Friends Of temperance seem to
look differently upon this new
method of conducting the war against
the common enemy-some Of them
apparently being little distrustful.
But though all promises shall not be
kept, and many sellers and drinkers
only bow to the blast for policy, ex.
pec,ing to get up unframed and un-
changed when the excitement is
over-notwithstanding these things,
it seems to us the movement, as a
whole, can not fail to result in much
good. One thing alone, the result
ant improvement Of public sentiment
the most potent power in the land
can not fail to be worth much to
the cause.

DAVENPORT had tremendous
sensation last week in the detection,
pursuit and capture of an operator
who attempted to confidence the
banks there on a large scale. He
came into town with quite capital
to invest in his business, and carried
everything through with a high
hand. Pretending to be a grain buy
er, he rented rooms, made several
quite large bona .fae transactions in
grain, deposited more or less money
in three banks-all Of which he visit
ed with raised or forged checks to
the amount of about IS, 900 each just
before taking, as he supposed, final
departure. Only one bank bit, and
it learned the folly SO soon that the
police caught the chap within few
miles Of Rock Island and recovered
all the money. Egglecht, as he called
himself, now languishes in the Scot,
county Jail.

FROM MECHANICsyILLE.


Editor advertiser AS the spirit OF
the Lord is moving upon the waters
in our city-or rather. upon the whis-
XIV and beer-I concluded to drop you
. few lines in relation thereto. Some
of the ladies Of the city and vicinity
have organized temperance league,
and on yesterday started out on their
mission Of mercy, visiting the saloons
and drug stores and there engaging in
prayer for the salvation of the occu-
pant. At one Of the drug stores they
did not meet with good success. The
proprietor turned the key upon them
but they had started out expecting
opposition therefore were not disap-
pointed nor dismayed, but held their
devotion on the sidewalk in the open
air. It Is to he hoped that If that
manner OF proceedings Is the best plan
to break up the sale of strong drink in
our town, that the ladies will con-
tinue their visits from day to day I'M
til they shall have accomplished their
mission. and by SO doing proclaim to
the world that the city of Mechanics
willie has been redeemed from thral-
dom. But the writer of this article
being In favor of q strict temperance
law, perhaps would not be good
Judge Of what would be the best way
to proceed against the parties for sell.
ing strong drink. One thing l will
say, that I should consider some of
said saloons too bad place to 60 into
to hold prayer, even by men, to say
nothing about unprotected females.
l do not find fault with the ladies
for engaging in this glorious cause,
but 1t seems to me that the Lord
would hear and answer their prayers

he would to have them make such

Col. SANFoRD's LEcTUREs.-Each
issue since Col. Sanford delivered his
lectures in the City Hall the intended
mention Of them has for some reason
been forgotten. The comment Of
those who heard them is universally
favorable, and justly SO. The first
evening the Colonel took his audience
to Japan and China; the second lee
ture was devoted to Rome; and the
last night huge jaunt was taken
through Palestine and great part Of
Arabia. To all these countries, Of
course, Col. Sanford has been-to
some of them two or three times.
And while he does not pretend to tell
or know all about them, he does pre-
sent many of the salient features and
peculiarities in country, Inhabitants
and customs in manner which is no
less interesting than original. The
lecture on Rome was probably his
best here, and was repeatedly pro-
nounced as good as anything to which
we have had the pleasure of listening
this winter. The others, being really
combinations of two or more lectures
were necessarily somewhat fragment
airy and hardly gave him a fail
chance.
We wish all who were interested
in the Coloners lectures might have
had the good fortune to have seer
his fine collection Of rare coins, cary
ings, stones and other mementoes o
the strange countries which he visit
ed. 1t is said that his is one of tn
choicest private collections in tn
States, and we could readily believ
it. The array of both ancient an
modern coins was especially fine. I
genuine silver shekel, coined abou
21OO years ago, lay beside a U. 5
eagle of 1870. Little coins of tn

at Neimans, "a few miles south of town,

hill one Of the traces unlocked and
the sled tongue came down. This,
of course, lost the driver the control
Of his team, which soon was under
full Roadway, when the sled struck
something that overturned it instant
~. The occupants were thrown up
on the ice under the sled, which be-
ing dragged over them, severely
bruised or cut, or both, nearly every
member Of the party. John Bossert
seemed the most hurt-it being fear
ed that he had suffered confusion Of
the brain. He was carried to Nei-
mans in state Of insensibility, and
next morning taken home on sled,
since when we have not heard from
him. Miss Tuthill had hair pins driv-
en- into her head, and was badly hurt
about the back. All the others We're
more or less badly bruised or gashed,
but strange to say, no bones were
fractured. The team was found in
town late yesterday morning, and the
sled was made perfect wreck.
