Mr.. c. w. LILLE received telegram
this week, from Santa Rosa, California,
conveying the sad intelligence of the sud
den death of his eldest son, who left home
about year and half ago and has been
teaching in California ever since, with ex-
cellent success. The intelligence of his
death came with more severity to his
family, as letters were received from him
but few weeks since, in which he de
scribed his health as excellent, and his
prospects most flattering. The full par
ticulars Of the sad event will be received
by mail

In reference to the above matter we W IL
explain that we have had canvasser out
in various parts of the county during the
past few weeks, who, besides soliciting
subscriptions, collecting, &c, has taken
notes of the towns for the purpose of wri-
ting them up. These notes he has en-
bodied in the form of correspondence,
and, as convenient nom de plume, at
tached his own middle name, which is
"Pierce;" this, of course, without a thought
that there might be some other Pierce
credited with the correspondence, much
less that it would be construed by super
imaginative and suspicious people into a
cunning political trick. Mr.. Piercc's sug-
gestion regarding the importance of full
primary meetings is timely. We hope
that our Republican friends all over the
county will see to it that no possible op.
portunity for packing caucuscs is afford
ed those disposed to do so.-ED. BULLE-
TIN.

DEATHS BY LIGHTNING = The Sioux
City journal Of three weeks ago, contain
ed the sad particulars of the instant death,
from a stroke of lightning, of Mrs. Ruth
II. Norris, and her daughter Rowena, u
young lady of Is, at their home, a few
miles from that city. Mrs. Norris and
her daughter were the mother and sister
of Mrs. NJ. E. Brown, of this city; and
the latter being very sick at the time of
the reception of the news of this distress
ing event, it was mercifully kept from her
knowledge until recovery. This precau-
ton prevented its appearance in the papers
here. AS Mrs Brown has been made ac-
quainted with her terrible bereavement,
the embargo is removed, and we copy an
outline of the melancholy affair from the
Journal:
The sad visitation occurred about three
O'Clock on Sunday afternood. Mrs. Norris
and two daughters were the only persons
in the house at the time, Mr.. Norris and a
son beng in Sioux City that afternoon
The elder of the girls, Miss Rowena, was
upstairs at the time, and tile younger girl
Emma was with her mother on the lower
floor Mrs. Norris and Emma were stand
ing at a window together when the fatal
flash came and both were prostrated.-
Emma, who is but ten years of age, re-
covered and attempted to raise her mother
to her feet, and then discovered that she
was rigid in death. The little girl then
called for her sister, but, getting no reply,
went upstairs in quest of her. At Il win
dow Immediately over where the mother
and daughter had stood lay the body of
Rowena, nearly stripped of clothing, and
with the remnants of her garments on fire.
The little girl had presence of mind to
secure water and extinguish tie flames,
when she ran as fast as she could to the
nearest neighbor, Mr.. Beck, a distance of
mile, for assistance. The lightning had
passed in at the top of the house and ran
down through the floor, doing but trifiing
! injury to the building.

THOSE of our people who intend to WIS.,
it Waterloo tomorrow to witness Bar
nuns show, will do well to keep close
guard upon pocket books and Watches
The big show is preceded and attended by
a gang of fifty as expert and desperate
ruffians as can be found this side of the
internal regions. They robbed the Epis
copal church of Davenport of the silver
communion service, and several residences
of money and jewelry to a large amount,
and this is but sample of their work i'll
every town in Iowa which the show has
visited. Give the Coroner job if you
find occasion and opportunity.

JUDGE ToMAN, Dear Sir:-Pleasc ask
your correspondcnt-Pie sign his
real or full name to his next communica-
ton, us find that am receiving credit
for his enterprise in writing up the busl-
ness points III the county. The mistake
is matter OF little importance to your
correspondent, and of no interest to your
readers, but wish it corrected because I
AM charged with canvassing the county,
and writing this series of letters over my
name with the Interior object Of securing
the nomination for the Office of Auditor at
the coming Republican Convention.
Now, it may be of interest to the parties
who have given currency to this charge,
to know that | have not canvassed and
shall not canvass the county, or any part
OF it, to secure that or any other n0mina-
ton, but am quietly attending to my own
business on the farm; and further: that be-
leiving the legitimate business of the
County Convention TO be-not to ascer-
tain who WGnt office, but who are wanted
by the people-if take any active part
in this campaign it will be to secure full
attendance at the primary meetings and
thus prevent the packing of caucuses in
the interests of any man or set of men,
Very Truly Yours,

Cooper & Eailey's International Show

Yesterday the Great International Me
nagerie, Museum, Aquarium, and Circus
inaugurated their second annual tour at
the Industrial Exposition Building, the
stockholders of this magnificent edifice
having consented to let this great show
occupy it for one week The days fes-
tivities began with a grand gratuitous
street display, which was grandeur itself,
and was witnessed by crowds of spectators
along the entire route Last night we
found the Exposition Building thronged
with the most brilliant and fashionable
audience, without exception, that we have
ever seen drawn together here The me-
nagcrie and museum are alone worth the
price of admission. At least 1 500 rare
wild animals and remarkable curiosities
are to be seen. The various cages and
vans are admirably arranged, and the at
PENDANTS wellinformed and polite After
seeing all that was to be seen in the Me-
nagerie, Museum and Aquarium, we, af.
ter some difficulty in consequence of the
immense jam, found scat, and not Il
minute too soon, for the grand entree i'm
mediately began. This was magnificent
ly costumed and brilliantly executed, and
was fitting prelude to the truly magniti-
cent entertainment that followed Where
was so perfect 1t is hard matter to spec
ialize any particular act and call it best.
Everyone was excellent, while our old
friend, julie Kent, as he is called, was in
his drollest humor, and kept the audience
in the best possible spirits. The whole
entertainment passed off with the greatest
ectdt, and we pronounce the great Inter
national the largest, best, and most admi-
rably conducted show that it has ever
been our lot to witness We feel some
what proud of this, for it is, in reality, q
Kentucky show; as here, in this city, at
the Gait House, the idea was conceived,
and here, also, was the Great Internation-
al equipped and prepared: so we can safe
ly call it a Southern show, and as it is
really the largest show in America, this is
something to be proud of. Every one
that we met at the Exposition Building
last evening was of our opinion. The
general verdict on all sides expressed the
one idea: the best show in the woAd-

GETTING UP WIND AHEAD Friend
"Zedekiah Hopeful sends us the follow
ing quaint observations upon the political
situation;
Pcradventure, thee remembers-fO it
is now old-thc man thy uncle once hired
to clean up lot of beans, who began to
turn the fanning-mill two hours before
day. and when he was asked why he had
no beans in the hopper, he replied 1T
runs easier while it is empty, and l am
getting up wind ahead" Now, the Anti
Mo Lib Rep Demo Calico-O Opposition what
d'yccall-ems have big job of blowing to
do ere they shake the faith Of one true
man in Iowa's honest old u-cle Sam Kirk
wood. They must begin very soon to get
some wind ahead, for they will, of sure
ty, need all their wind; SO let them blow.
And, as the Conservative catches it's little
bits of wind from those papers whose on
ly objection to our old "War Governor, "
is his honest, solid loyalty, 1t must needs
flop its little wings and-blnw or burst
something. So, friend William, let il
blow, even though 1t collapse. 1t evident
ly does it good and harms nobody

CAUTION TO HUNTERs.-A friend hands
US the following clipping, which has a
timely interest at this season:
In the shooting season. there are fire.
quent wounds and deaths from the acct
dental discharge Of guns. In almost ev-
cry case, these result from the dangerous
practice of keeping the hammer down up
on the percussion cap. 1t is too plain to
require proof, that very slight blow up
on the back Of the hammer in such cir
cumstances will fire off the gun; and yet
three-quarters of the grnners have an idea
that such is the safe way to carry loaded
gun. 1t is much more dangerous than the
full cock. The only safe way is Keep the
gan halt cocked while riding or handling
out of the field. 1t is so Improbable that
anything should draw back the hammer
and pull the trigger at the same instant,
that it may be called practically impossi-
BILE that gun should be fired off uninten-
tionally when thus secured. Why will
not people use little common sense, and
save what few brains they have?
