A'Busy Firm.

A person living in town and seeing the
large amounts of Farm Machinery which
go out every season would naturally
| suppose that S01aeti47e the farmers would
get supplied and that the business of the
Agricultural Implement dealer would
cease. But such is the demand for
machinery that, although 70 casual oh,
server our equity hould be [u,l Of it, yet
| many OF the farmers are just beginning
to be able to buy. A few years ago, per
haps 10 or II, il was thought sufficient tC
have Reaper in the Notwithstanding
now every farmer almost thinks it is i'm.
possible to get along without having
! either Il combined reaper and mower or n
harvester and mower, and the same with
other implements.
We called at the Agricultural Ware,
house OF Mcssrs. }. NJ. Camcry & Son the
early part of this week and found them as
the saying is up to their eyes in bust
ness" They tell US their trade has been
larger this year than ever before since
they have been in business, and Judging
from the many implements which we
have seen 60 outfrom their establishment.
we do not doubt it, They sell the Adams
& French IIaryestcrS which are probably
the best in the market, and especially so
far season like this when the grain is
badly lodged and much will have to be
cut while wet. They have sold two Car
loads of these machines and every one of
them has given perfect satisfaction. They
will elevate grain in almost any condition,
al are Il very light draft machine. The
Champion combined machine is also
handled by McSsrS. c. & Son They have
sold large numbers of these, and have yet
to hear from one that has not given salts
faction to the purchaser. As the trade in
RcapcTs and IIarycsteT5 IS now about over
for the season ThrcshCrs, plows, Wagons,
t13., will be sold largely 4 car load Of
the celebrated Michigan Sweepstakes
ThrcsherS has just beer received. These
machines are uncXce,lcd, and are sold on

Camcry & Son arc increasing their stocl,
Of Wagons. They sell The Moline Wagon
which is as good as anything in the mar
kct They also sell L large number Of
plows every season. They have been
handling the john Deere and Davenport
Piows, but this year thy have added the
celebrated Norwegian plows 10 their as
sortmcnt. These plowa are manufactured
in Wisconsin and are something new in
this county. They have been sold in
various other part of the State and gave
the most perfect satisfaction. They are
undoubtedly the best plows manufac-
turcd. Our farmers will do well to try
these and we arc sure they will be
pleased.
Messrs. Camery & Son do business on
the square. They deal in none but first
class implements and sell them at low
rates. They treat all their customers
alike and consequently their business is
cons family increasing.

PIANO TUGING.-Messrs. Brush 6 Aus
Tin of Tama City hold themselves in read
mess at all times to tune and repair mu
steal instruments of all kinds. We have
had some experience the past week will
them and can cheerfully recommend then,
to any person wishing anything in theil
line. Our piano, through neglect of the
party we purchased it Of, had fallen in
pitch almost two tones and was terribly
cut of tune, but Mr.. Brush raised it to its
lost estate and put it in excellent condi-
ton, and though we expected 10 have
some of the strings broken, he succeeded
by his caretulness in doing the job with
out breaking single string. lie also re-
paired the pedals and one of the keys
which was out or order. lie understands
his business thoroughly. Their charges
are very reasonable. Any person having
any kind of an instrument out of order
will do well to call on MeSsrS. Brush &

It is generally believed in this city that
three newspapers cannot live. We share
| in that belief from the fact that the ex.
pertinent has been tried here. The
| Times, however, lived to bury both of
the others, and proSpered. If three news
| papers cannot live, we feel quite certain
ourselves that the Times will not be the
one that dies We wish three could live,
or half dozen for that matter, for We
have no fear of competition. We are
prepared for it-have been prepared for
the last nineteen years, since we first COM
menced in the county, and we have at
tended the funerals of no less than six
newspaper ventures i'll the county. Being
prepared to take care Of ourself, we have
no thought as to the dying. The man
who is foolish enough to think we can
be pushed to the wall, had better try US
on. We are peacably inclined, but are
ready for any kind of d war anyone may
desire -MaTSAaW Times.
Marshaltown has a population of
about 5000 and the business men of that
place advertise $1,000 worth to where the
Tama County business men advertise
500 worth. Tama City and Toledo both
together have population Ct about $500
and we have had here f01r papers the
past year. One Of them, however, the Cit
izeR, suspended publication with its last
weeks issue, and it is only question Of
time as to where one of the Toledo pa
pcrs-the IndePeadent-Will suspend. II
has been evident TO the observation of
all business men and especially publish
ers, that it has been running at heavy
loss to the proprietor ever since it
started, and it has for some time been on
the ragged edge Of dispair. Its proprie-
tor is corresponding with parties in vari-
Gus places trying to SOL it with but little
success. Tama City and Toledo can each
support one newspaper moderately well
but when they try to keep for going
they have undertaken a larger job than
they can fulfill.

The Flower Queen.

This beautiful Opcretta has been in pro-
gress of rehearsal by about 50 ladies of
Toledo the past three or four weeks and
will be brought out in elegant floral cos
tune on Saturday evening at the Court
House. This is something entirely new
in this part of the country, and the charm
ing music together with the beautiful
costumes and trimmings will charm and
please ALL Prof. Powell is one of the
NEST efficient musical directors VIC have
ever seen and he has done his utmost TO
make this success, and we have no
doubt but all who attend this concert
will feel well paid for the small cost. The
admission has been put low so all could
attend, and we hope the Professor will
have full house.

We have this week to chronicle muir
der which for -hloodcd brutality We
have never known surpassed. We have
in the eastern part Of Tama County quite
d number of BohCmians, some of whom
are very good citizens, quite and molten
sivc, while some others seem but a trilG
above the brute. In the Bohemian settle
mcnt are two ncighbors Thomas Rou-
block and John PrUsa, the first named
having 40 acres and the last 50 acres,
which join. There seems TO have been Il
quarrel between these two families for
some time and each had warned the
other from his premises. There being no
public highway near these farms a by
road was used which crossed each of the
falms. Last Monday morning Mr.. Prusa
went to neighbors about q mile west for
an animal and while coming back and
crossing the farm of Roubicek on this by
road was seen, when the terrible deed WIS
done From the facts which were elected
at the CoronCrs inquest it seems tina.
to the road he carrying an axe and she a
knife. Prusa was struck with the axe
(both claiming in their testimony to have
struck the first blow and seemingly proud
Of it in the forehead. Trying to ward
| of the blow he received q cut on the right
arm, and it is supposed that tie woman
| then stabbed him in the abdomen with the
knife, there being two gashes found there
which he caught with his left hand
and she wrenching it from his grasp laid
the inside of his hand bare to the bone
| Another blow from the axe on the side OF
the head laid the victim over when
the brutal murderer then struck him twice
| after he vas down, MASKING his head al
most to a jelly. They then went off and
| left him and his blood flowed down the
wagon track some or s feet. Mrs
Prusa missing him went TO the ncighbors
where her husband had gone after the an,
imal and found he had been there and
gone. She then vert us far along the
road as she dared and sent son farther
on who found him lying there. AS soor
as possible word was sent to our Coroner
E. H. Bielby. But in the meantime Mr.
C. e. Hayes coming along on horseback
found him laying on the road and sen
word also to the Coroner. About 8 o'cIocl
Mr.. Bielby and s. NJ Bartlett, DEPUTY
Sheriff, repaired to the scene of the muir
der when jury consisting of I. Garrison
+. G. Hulka and D. Rusk was summoned
who proceeded to hold an inquest, Mr.
Joseph Popelka clerk in the law oflic,
of Stivers & Safely, acting as interpreter
. The above facts were brought out to
gether with some minor matters, and tn
Coroner's jury rendered verdict i'm
plicating Roubicek, only, who wa
brought to Toledo Monday night an
lodged in Jail, but Tuesday the eorone
filed information against both of the pal
ties charging them with murder in til

The Chri5tiun Union is undoubtedly
the greatly and most popular OF our rclig
ious wccklies, having justly earned 4 Cir
culation which is the largest in America.
As religious paper it has no equal,
being an uhsectarian, independent journal
using the Bible, not as an armory for
theological Warcfarc, but Us a stOrc-hOuse
Of spiritual food and rcfrcshmcnt. The
news Of the day receives its proper share
of attention in the columns of the Union,
in compact, terse reviews of events in the
Church and the State, both in America
and abroad. The paperis of equal value to
all classes, to the scholar as well as tC the
artisan, to those interested in the great
topics of the day-Religion, History,
Science, Politics, Finance, Sociology, Re
fom-andto the family seeking amusc-
mcnt with instruction. We have noticed
an especially clcvating and refining influ-
cncc in the Union, not only in its literary
and art departments, but also in the gen
cral tone Of lis social and household arti-
clcs-it has a wcll-bred, homc-lil1e air
about it. The paper is now giving to its
readers George MacDonald's new tale of
the Civil Wars in England, called 'St.
George md 81. Mic1acI," back numbers
of which are sent to all new Subscribers.
This will be followed by q new story by a
distinguished and favoritc author. Its
new feature Of Monthly Illustrated Num-
6er8 proves a most interesting and attrac-
! tive series. The picture premium given
to Subscribers, choice chromos, genuinely
beautiful Paris-printcd oleographs), and
Marshall's splendid steel engraving of
Lincoln and Washington - are really
artistic, and all that the most fastidious
! taste could desire.

We publish on our editorial page this
week an article from the State Register
in relation to the way the Free traders and
English Manufacturers are trying to "pull
the wool over the eyes' of the Changers.
1t is an article which we hope all will
read and ponder over. Should these
plans prove success there is no use to
build water powers, Machine shops or
Manufactures of any kind for they would
not receive the support of our people and
would be left to die of neglect. Some of
the Changers seem to think it is moU
necessary to work for the interest of their
Oranges than for the interest of their
