Chemistry, and all of the manufactures Of
Steele g. Price are the result of his re-
searches. One of these discoyerie is the

Retail cigar dealers are unhappy over
the new cigar box, which has perforated
coupons on the inside edge corresponding
with the number of cigars in the box.
The coupons are furnished by the govern
ment in place of stamps, and when cigar
is sold coupon has to be destroyed before
the purchaser. Before long they will have
each cocktail manufactured for married
men announced to their wives by tele-
graphic bell-punch. -Boston Globe,

Farrell was then arrested on separate
charge for assault, on complaint of Collin:
and his wife, and he was fined So and cost:
the costs amounting to over SO.

rested, charging them with assault, and thu
case was being tried this afternoon before

The contractors are pushing the work as
fast as possible.
The street car track on the corner of
Illinois and Madison streets was taken up
this morning to allJw the men to work to
better advantage. 1t is considerable trou-
BILE to the street car company, but the
track will probably be relaid by to morrow.
The water in the trenches intsrferes con-
siderably with the workmen in digging,
there being springs all through the rock,

The trench on Broadway is mostly
through rock.
BY next week it is thought the city will
have very good fire protection.
The contractors have about seventy five
men employed.

POLICE COURT,
Before {. C. cropper,--police Magistrate


Last night, at the circus grounds, young
man was pointed out to Policeman Ank-
rum as pick pocket and thief Ankrum
watched him closely at the circus, but
could catch him in nothing suspicious, and
after the performance followed him down
town. The fellow went into a yard, and
around to the well, got a drink and came
out, shortly after he went into an alley
and sat down in the shadow of a shed.
Aukrum then arrested him and took him
to jail. While going to Jail he told the
policeman several stories about where he
come from and how he got here all of
which were pretty thin" This morning,
he gave his name as Chas. Cunningham,
of Indianapolis, and said he was not con
nected with the circus. He was fined $40
and costs. No money Sent back to jail
Albert Davis, of Briar Bluff, Henry
county, was in town yesterday to see the
circus and getting full of bad whisky made

Deputy Kimball. This morning he was
fined 81 and costs. No money. He
begged hard to be let off, saying he was
working for the Rockford road and would
lose his job if not back tonight, and also

The Voice of the Great West,

The Voice OF the Great West accords to Hostel

specifics for malarial disease, and this opinen IS
echoed wherever upon this continent the Bitters
have been introduced as a remedy for intermittant
and remittent fevers. Those maladies being the
peculiar scourge of vast regions of country in the
Western and South western States, it is not surpri
sing that the Btters should be the great medicina
staple of such localities, that their iDhibitBnts
should regard this article as Indispensable in tht

1t is q noticeable fact that lynching. |
mobbing, ku kluxing, etc.. has been going
on for some years, in Iowa, and nobody
punished, aud no U. S, soldiers sent there.
Iowa is ''loyal" and Mr.. Grant takes no
thought about the murders and mobs, and
the train robberies, etc. If these things
occurred in a southern state it would alter
the case. Last winter, in the capitol of that
state, man was dragged from Jail by a
mob and hung to lamp post. Nobody
has been punished. Horse thieves are
lynched in Iowa, and no effort made to pun
ish their murderers. This state of lawless-
ness has so grown upon the people that
the women have taken to the same prac-
tees. The mobbing of a young girl in
Wilton, by women, because they thought
she was not as virtuous as the mobbers, is
case in point. Nobody has yet been
punished.
The recent lynching of Geo. N. Kirk
man, in Story county, seems to have awak-
ened the people to the necessity of doing
something to stop this ku kluxing in Iowa.
| Will it be done? The Gazette says, when
a man can be dragged from his home and
bed, under cover of the night, with rope
about his neck, and tortured to death by
the cruel process of mob hanging, there
is no longer any law, and every either
holds his life at the mercy Of whatever
gang Of desperadoes may see fit to take it
Such a condition of society is too monstrou
> to be tolerated, and can only exist wher
: civilization has not reached, or wher'
y men have lost their manhood.
y Is there no civilization or manhood i
Iowa? Is the state so besotted and impo
tent as not to be able to protect its citizen
. or punish its ku klux?
The men who hung Kirkman are guilt
Y of murder in the highest degree. If mar
n or clan of men, should take the law in hi
