Mrs. Warren Whitcomb was driving
over the road from Berry Corner
to Post Mills. the other day, she
met two tramps who inquired the
way to Ely. She informed them
that they were going the wrong
way, whereupon they began to
curse her, and she drove along.
Coming back that way some two
or three hours later, she found one
of them sitting beside the road
near where she left them. He in
sisted upon riding with her, and
when she refused lie stopped the
horse, and slapped her across the

We don't want to brag, but it is q
fact that there is more building, more
improvement of all kinds being done
In Ottum wa, this season. than there is
in any other town in Iowa, or in
any other town of it's size in the
whole Northwest for that matter,
Chicago and ST. Louis alone excepted.
The money thus expended is all kept
at home, and our citizens, merchants,
mechanics and manufacturers get the
benefit of it's expenditure. A half
million or more Of dollars is thus kept
in actual circulation among all these
classes, and in consequence business is
brisk here, while in other places, not
improving, it is dull. 1t ia q matter of
establishment to people who visit our
city, from abroad, that we are making
such rapid growth, and they can not
understand it. Let Excelsior! DO onr
motto, and leave no stone unturned or
effort nntried that will increase our
material prosperity. Let every man
that has subscribed stock to tho Water
Power pay promptly, as on the speedy
completion, and early utilizing Of the
this magnificent power, in great de-
gree depends our future growth
and prosperity. Our citizens have
the money, and the will is all that is
needed to make Ottumwa the Queen
city of Iowa.

has been suggested that some concert
of action be had in regard to the mat
ter, and that meeting be held at an
early date, on some evening this week,
to make arrangements for going, and
as to what provision should be made
for the trip. Who will move in this
matter? This is one of the best op-
portunities for visiting this delightful
resort that has yet occurred. The fare
for the round trip being only 81,
which is 80 less than any previous ex-
cursion rate. As we have said before
this ought to secure large company
from Ottumwa. You can leave here

Collision.


1t seems strange that. considering
the number of trains passing over the
c., B. & Q. railroad, there should be
such freedom from accidents, and
stranger still, that there should be 80
many collisions. Monday, some-
where near the middle of the day, a
couple of construction trains made an
attempt to pass each other on tho same
track, but without success, mile or
go this side of Tyrone, Lucas county.
1t seems that one engine was pushing
train and coming this way, while the
other was going engine foremost to-
wards Tyrone, when they struck. The
cars were knocked around pretty
lively and piled into the ditch in q
hurry. The damage to the trains has
not been reported at headquarters in
this city as yet, but the supposition APP
pears to be that II is light, owing to the
way the engines were situated. We
understand that some or tho section
men were bruised up, caused by
jumping from the train when they dis
covered their. UNPLEASANT sftHati0n.
However, no person was killed or
crippled, and really they have reason
to feel thankful that they escaped rs
we'll as they did. The passenger train
leaving here at about two o'clock, yes.
terday, was delayed about three hours
at Albis, and the mail train due here
from the west, at 4 40 p. m got in abont
10 o'clock last night, the delay being
caused by the Tyrone accident.

A Preacher Nabbed, Tried and Fun.
ished for Loving Fast Horses and
Playing Cards.

A called meeting of the Waterloo
Presbytery was held yesterday at IL
a. m, in the Presby terrain Church, to
hear charges against Rev. Mr.. Mess
mer, of Belle Plainc, a Presbyterian
clergyman, who has been preaching
for the Congregationalists OF that city.
The charges were for lying about
his salary, horse racing, playing cards,
and for unbecoming, ministerial con-
duct.
The prosecuted clergyman was
dressed in black suit of broadclotb,
buttoned to the throat, and appears
on the streets with q good deal of sang
froid.
There were present some fifty citi-
zens OF Belle PIainc, either to sympa.
thize with the gentleman, or as wit
nesses in the affair.
Mr.. Mcssmer plead not guilty to the
first specification, bnt admitted, like
Henry Ward, he preferred to ride be-
hind a good horse, rather than crow
halt. He admitted, also, when press
ed to the wall, that he did play whist
at a wedding, 'for they do such things
in Canada, the clergy all play whist"
II seems the reverend was born and
raised in Canada, aud has little loose
ideas upon this point.
The unbecoming conduct alleged
against him was, that he at one time
tapped his wings, and crowed like a
rooster, at a donation party held at his
house.
The ecclesiastical council ought real
ly to have bad full jurisdiction
over the man, although he breaches to
the Congrcgationalists, yet is Pres.
byterian in creed.
He is said to be popular preacher,
filling his church around the corner
with delighted audience on Sundays,
although he occasionally reads from
the profane poets-another charge
against him.
The question ia: Can minister
crow like a rooster, and yet retain his
standing in the church?
Resolutions of censure were passed
and we hope Rev. Mr.. Messmer will
leave off his naughty ways, and be a
shining light in our sister town
