TEMPERANCE LECTURES Rev. John
Russell, Of Detroit, Mich, chief officer Of
the Good Templars, delivered two lectures
in our city the present week to crowded
houses, and as he is powerful, ready and
aggressive speaker, to the satisfaction, IL
not the conviction, of Lis hearers Mr.
Russell is a radical of the extreme type,
and delights in startling utterances, for
instance, his declaration in favor of hang
ing saloon keepers where all other means
fail TO stop their business. But his main
mission to Iowa seems 10 bc the starting
of new political party-a Prohibition
party, and his effort last night was better
than the average specimen of Il stump
speech, though marked by all the charac-
teristics of that style of oratory. Of course
the speaker slashcd into the present parties
especially the Republican-right and
left, using all his powers OF sarcasm and
invective--by no means nconsiderable-
to prove that they cumber the earth,
and should give way to the organiza-
ton of which he is the exponent
With an avOwcd partisan purpose, it
was not to be expected that the speaker
would deal altogether candidly and fairly
with other parties, and he did not. While
the speech was remarkable for its nervous
force its play of wit and fancy. its felici-
ty OF illustration and its mimicry, it was
also notable for its omissions of facts in
some cases, and its unfair deductions in
others. We are free to admit, however,
that from the speakers tand-point, that
the temperance issue is the only one worth
considering, or of great importance in the
politics of the country, his conclusions are
legitimate.

A Card to the Public,

inst, that | am advertised to furnish the
music for the l. 0. o. +. festival at this
place, on Monday, Jan. 18th, 70. Not
wishing to be placed before the dancing
community in false light, and in justice
to myself and the public generally, here

previous engagement. l would not wish
to play over the signature Of any other
band, neither do wish the same 10 profit

THE Inter- Ocean says: 4 resume
of the testimony taken by the Vicks-
burg investigation shows that the
killing of negroes was an unprovoked
massacre. When met by the whites
they retreated before a shotwas fired.
Not half of them were armed, and
they were accompanied by women
and children. Some were killed
while lying on the ground. From
sixty to seventy-five were killed, and
many remain unburied to this day.
Altogether the Nicksbury massacre
seems to have been the most coward
ly and brutal of the long catalogue
of wholesale assassinations which
have made Of the South bloody
ground. 1t is time for the President
to declare with emphasis that single
repetition of this class of outrages
will bring down the hand of the Fed
eral power heavily upon the offenders,
be they whom they may.

ANGELS. One Of our exchanges puts
it in this light:
Looking over an old ledger, we nee a
long array Of names Of former subscribers
who are indebted to us. Some of them
have moved away, and arc lost to sight,
although to memory dear. Others are
carrying the contribution boxes in our
most respectable churches, and others,
again, have died and arc angels in Heaven,
but they owe us just the same"
It's "amaZin' consolin'" when we re-
fleet what a host of angels the country
press is training for glory We are sure
that some Of our subscribers may feel the
wings sprouting.

Stop That Cough

Many persons hesitate to try remedy
for u disease, on account. of the expense.
connected with the uncertainty of its ben
etitting them; while, at the same time, had
they confidence in that remedy, the ex-
pcnse would be the least objection. With
this fact in view, we make the following
propositions: Any person suffering with
a cold, cough or sore throat, that will call
at p. Tabor & Sons store and purchase a
bottle of Hale's Cough Cordial, use one
half 81 1t, and if they then conclude that
it is doing them no good, they can return
the bottle and receive back their money.
No medicine ever sold in this vicinity,
that produced such magical results. Don't
fail to try it. Orange Williams. Proprie'

WINTER WEATHER, though long delayed
this year, has at last sci in with yigor
which fully compensates for lost time
Twenty sevcn degrees below zero was the
record of the thermometer on Monday
night, and the temperature is still snug
enough for a Laplander. 1t is one of the
consultations of human nature to know
that it has companionship in misery, and
so it is comforting to learn from "Old
Probabilities that the present cold snap
is the result of 'tidal wave of low tenn
perature" which, starting somewhere in
the Rocky Mountains, has distributed its
frigid favors with great impartiality all
over the country to the Atlantic.

THAT incorrigable old nuisance, Morg
Holmes, having served out his sentence for
larceny, in the Anamosa penitentiary, has
returned to this city and taken up his old
rate of dissipation and general cussedness.
He came to the surface at the temperance
meeting, in the Methodist church, on
Wednesday evening, i'll Il state of maudlin
intoxication, interrupting the speaker and
making promiscuous and obscene remarks,
until it became necessary to summon the
Marshal TO remove him. He has never,
of late years, been so appropriately To-
Gated as while dwelling with Warden

The delicate form of beautiful maiden

Ever OF thee, little heaven born treasure.

Let all thy life be with kindness replete
Lovingly, tenderly kindly we'll tend thee
In the bright future, till death shall us part
All that we have will We share to befriend thee
Never may sadness encircle thy heart.
Words are but weak to express the affection

Long as we linger, accept our protection;
Bright are our wishes, now clinging to thee
Unto thy Youth may true ,cistion. be given.

PERsONAL.-M +. W. Purdy and wife
returned, on Friday last, from visit of
some months duration in the State of New
York. We understand that Mr. Purdy,
since his return, has expressed his pur-
pose to rebuild, next spring, on the site Of
the old Montour.
J. Dwight Smith, late Of the Cedar Co.
! (Neb) 1dcocate, has returned to this city.
having sold his interest in the Adrocate
to J.. W. Chandler. Dwight gives no
flattering report of times in Nebraska. -
Many settlers in that region will suffer
this winter, Notwithstanding the supplies
that are going forward.
We were favored with brief call from
Mr.. Jas. Gibson, Of Waterloo, on Mon
day. He was in pursuit of items of in
terest for the columns of that able and
spicy journal, the Waterloo Courier.
Jim Ainsworth, of the Elkaker Journal
who is recruiting his mental and bodily
health under the skillful care of DR.. Rey-
nolds, at the Hospital, made US brief
visit on Tuesday. jim, though not yet in
full possession of his wonted vigor, is i'm
proving, and exhibits much of the old
time pungency and wit which made him
one of the spiciest paragraphists of the
Iowa press. Conversing on the business
aspects Of the times, he suggested that we
ask Gov. Carpenter if the Skeleton in
the corner crib" had not crawled out, and
into the wheat bin, an addendo to the Gov
ernor's famous figure of speech, which We
presume His Exccllcncy has not thought
of.
1t was with more than ordinary graft
iication that We received on Monday, IA
call from our old friend Hon Henry
Kelley, of Usage. Mr.. Kelley was one of
the most valuable members of the last
Iowa House, in which position he won
merited recognition of his sterling integ
rity and practical good sense. He is also
one of the founders and proprietors of the
Usage Foundry, an industry which he has
built up by the exercise of his skill and
energy to be one of the leading manufac-
turing enterprises in Northern Iowa. We
have often alluded to it as an instance of
what might be done in the same direction
in our own city, and Mr.. Kelley has given
us some further items regarding it that
may be of interest to our readers The
enterprise was started by Mr.. Kelley and
brother, both practical machinists, about
eight years ago. Owing to limited means
its beginning were small, but it has con-
stantly grown and extended Itnow has
capital of $4,000, employing constantly
about 80 hands. About 100 reapers were
made at the establishment last year,
besides large number of plOws -
Mr. Kelly informs us that the sales of
well drilling machinery average $4,000 to
1000 per month, and that the orders,
which are constantly increasing. come
from Iowa. Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. Who
can fail to see the advantages that such
an establishment would have for Indepen-
dence, and why wait for large capital to
establish it? When the Kelly brothers
started at Usage, eight years ago, they
had to borrow money to erect the shops.

Roe BRos.-Doubtless many of our
readers in the country have heard Of, and
had dealings with the above Chicago firm
For the benefit of such, we give below
the latest intelligence from them. 1t is
very easy, now, to account for their facil-
tiles for selling low goods they stole them
and any price was a large profit. The
following item is from the Chicago 7ri-
bune of last Sunday;
'There was some excitement in COM
mercial and financial circles over the dis
appearance of the Roe Bros, wholesale
grOcers, with large amount of funds,
leaving heavy Indebtedness behind them
unpaid. Several of the banks were vic
timizcd by the firm, who arc said to have
perpetrated a similar swindle some years
ago, in Canada, where they formerly did
business"
1t is thought that they made $40, 900
i'll Chicago. They left for Canada on
Friday morning, with 100000 in cash,
jewelry and United States bonds. They
left on their office desk note, saving that
they were unable to pay their debts, but
/ that they offered their estate to their cred
itors, to do with it as they saw fit The
estate is not over $15 900, while the H.
abilities foot up over $250,O00.
