SUICIDE.-A tragedy occurred at the
residence Of Mr. II. r. Brace, half mile
west of town, on Saturday morning last,
resulting in the death, by his own hands,
of young man named John Koran, who
worked for Mr. Brace. 1t appears that
young Koran the evening previous, was
at his fathers house in town, and while
there, became engaged in an alteration
with the old man, who was under the in
fluence of liquor, which ended in the ia
ther striking the son with drawing
knife, INJECTING a severe wound on his
hand. At this point the fight was stop
ped and the officers arriving soon after.
the old man was taken to Jail. Young
Koran then went home, to Mr.. Braces,
and went to bed nothing in his demeanor
indicating unusual excitement. He rose
in the morning at the usual hour, and
passed out through the woodshed to the
barn, as if to go the round of his
daily duties, tending the stock, &c
Not half an hour after this, a neighbor,
Mr.. Walker, heard groans in Mr.. Braces
barn, as if coming from some one in dis
tress. He entered and found young Ho
ran on the floor, in convulsions. Mr..
Walker Immediately gave the alarm, and
messenger was dispatched for DR. Hunt,
who arrived as Koran was at his last gasp,
and who unhesltatingly pronounced it a
case of strychnine poisoning. Mr.. Brace
bethought him of a wal of strychnine
which he had been using for poisoning
rats, the whereabouts of which was only
known to Koran and himself. When he
searched for it, over the woodhouse door,
it was gone, and was afterwards found in
one of the stalls in the barn. The indica-
tions are that Koran rose from his bed
with deliberate purpose of self-destruc-
ton, took the strychnine from the wood
shed as he passed through, went to the
barn, and there, without hindrance, &C
complished his purpose. The motive
that prompted him to the rash
act, aside from the trouble with his
father the night previous is mystery -
1t does not appear that he was under the
influence of liquor during the quarrel, and
certainly was possessed of all his faculties
when he deliberately took his own life
An inquest was held before Justice Roszell,
which developed the above facts, the yer.
dict being in accordance Herewith.

ED. BuLLETIN:-Noticing an article in
the last BULLETIN proposing elevators to
the upper rooms in our school buildings,
on account of ''our young girls beng
seriously injured climbing stairs, reaching
the rooms pale and ready to faint" The
question very naturally arises, what causes
this paleness and faintness9 Is it the labor
of climbing the stairs, or false modes of
dressing, impeding free respiration, conse-
quently they exhaust themselves with the
least effort There is no complaint made
for our boys. Why can they rush up and
down stairs with impunity? Let our girls
be dressed as sepslbly as boys, and me-
thinks they would not need to be elsuatsd,
but would feel YIN ana elasticity that
would scorn to be SO helpless. Think Of
young, rigorous, hsa thy girls sent up
stairs on an elsodtor! Cultivating in them
sense of weakness and incapaclty! What
next? If girls are too weak and feeble
to 60 up and down stairs nov. can they
be expected to fill the places of the wives
and mothers now passing off the stage?
Cannot their mothers see there Is some
thing radically wrong somewherel They

AN exchange, referring to the note rails
ing exploits of the rascal who recently
swindled a number of farmers of Bremen
and Chickasaw counties, winds up with
the remark: $50 much for patronizing
these smooth, cheeky peddlers, in spite of
the repeated warnings given by the press
of their dishonest character" The fact
is, that about one half the farmers have
never heard of the warnings, because they
cant afford" to take paper. This kind
of people, who regard anything calculat.
ed to make them intelligent, az luxury be-
You'd their reach, constitute class among
whom swindlers and demagogues depend
upon reaping rich harvest with compare

calculations.

PREcAUTIoN.-The season has arrived
when the subject of fire becomes one of
painful solicitudc to all who have property
exposed to the chance of destruction in
that manner. AS the strength of chain
is only that of its weakest link, SO the
safety of all our business property in the
compact blocks on Main street is only
equal to the vigilance of the most careless
person in charge of it, and we cannot too
strongly impress upon all to exercise the
utmost care with regard to fires during the
coming cold season. Independence might
possibly recuperate from a disaster such
as came year and half since, but it
would be an experiment that none of us
care to repeat. Vigilance is the price of
safety.

THE POTATO.

A LAUDATORY LYRIC BY THE "WEsTBURG POET.
1.-THE following verses were suggested to til
mind Of the author from resding in last week
BULLETIN an article on the Potato.]
And may auld Scotland lang be blissed
Wac big Potatoes like your hst.-BarnS.
Potato, o! thy very name
My humble muse inspires,
To do fair justice to thy claim
Might kindle Ossian's fires.
For in his poems it would be hard
Potatoes praise to find
For why? when flourished that great bar
On different fare they dined.
Their food was by the chase obtained,
Or sought in savage p.under.
And so eternal warfare r.igned;
In sOcth, it was no wonder.
And rhyming Rab of muckle fame,
In Scottish sang and story,
Immortalfzed potato's name
On Scotia's hills so hoary.
Thy sturdy root each palate suits,
And makes the farmer wealthy,
No doctors pills to cure life's ills
We find are half so healthy
The dinner table looks so bare,
Scarce worthy of grace,
Unless old Murphy he is there
To show his smiling face
Then neighbor Pat in raptures cries,
"What happier times await us,
Or better cheer all round the year, ..
Than humping big Potatoes?"
Let boring *slugs and plunderirg bugs
Advance in countless numbers,
just dust their cen with Paris green,
Twill send the pests to slumbers.

"a MOTHER" whose communication
appears in another column, takes issue
with an article in last weeks BULLETIN,
on the improperly from sanitary consider
atoms, of requiring young girls to climb
long flights Of stairs, every day, to reach
their school lessons. Our correspondent,
whom it is well to say is mother Of boys
and not girls, contends that it is not the
three or four flights of back breaking
stairs in our school buildings that causes
young girls after climbing them to feel
faint and turn pale, but that their manner
of dress, by which respiration is restrict
ed, is tie sole cause. She points triumph
antly to the boys, and SKIS why healthy
girl, loosely dressed, cannot stand as much
fatigue, ignoring wholly the fact that girls
are girls, and subject to conditions and
weaknesses, even in their best state, that
boys know not of. With our correspond
ent's remarks concerning the manner in
which girls are sometimes dressed, we take
no issue; nor do we protest against their
application when it is needed, but We do
deny thas it is appropriate to the case I'M
der discussion. Not one of ten of the
school girls IN our city, from the ages Of
6 to IA, are, deprived of free and natural
breathing" by tight dressing, and there
fore the exhaustion attendant upon climb
ing the school house tread.mill is
not due to that cause In sooth, zoe
know Of young girls who, even our cor
respondent would admit, are sensibly
dressed, and who are full of life and vital
ity in the play ground, who yet haye a
dread and horror of those interminable
flights of stairs, bred of painful exper-
fence. Furthermore, we have the testi-
mony of the best medical men, that nine
tenths of the diseases peculiar to women
are the result of excessive climbing Of
stairs; and that girls at the tender age of
those who attend our schools are pecul-
iarly susceptible to permanent injury to
their health in this way, and should be
guarded against it, Weare confident that
our own physicians will unanimously en-
dorse our position in this matter We
only hope that the school. authorities will
take sensible view of it and apply the
remedy.

From the Cedar Rapids Times.
Perhaps it would pay our invalid read
ers to remember that right here in Cedar
Rapids there is a firm of physicians known
as Drs. Ydrnall, Son Dc Samson. who de
vote their entire time and energy exclu
sively to the treatment of all chronic dis
eases, and from every quarter evidences
comes of their success in the most difficult
cases, even those that had resisted all 9th
er treatment for years These gentlemen
by industry, skill, and perseverance, have
built up large and prosperous business
not only in Iowa, but extending into thu
adjoining States. Persons who think tina
nothing can be done for them withou
going East or to Europe will do well to
read the following, which is only enc OF
many tributes to their skill, coming to US
in the newspapers Of the day:
Mrs. Isaac Ellison. of Harrison Co.
Iowa, aged 81 years, who had Asthma
from childhood, but for 10 years had suf.
fered terribly, had not been able TO lie
down one night in all that time, had given
up all hope of cure, but was persuaded by
her friends to consult and be treated by
DIR. YarnalPs firm, and the result was a
perfect cure, in reasonable length of
time, and for three years has not had an
attack or the slightest symptom of it =
Many other CUES are reported by the press
equally wonderful, showing the complete
triumph of medicine over disease in the
hands of those gentlemen.
DR.. Yarnall, ST., accompanied by DR..
Samson, of their firm, will visit Indepen-
dence, Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 1st
and I'd, and on the same dates each sue
ceeding month Dr. Yarnell makes a
specially of al chronic diseases and con-
ditions, and DR.. Samson, of the Eye and

of HALE's CoUGH CORDIAL the past season,

of it, and if they then conclude that 1t is

WE call attention to the advertisement
of Mr.. Kellogg, of Rowley, offering his
lumber yard for sale This will be a
splendid opening for some energetic man.
The yard is in good shape, with ample
shed room, side track &C., the trade is
good and there is no competition. Mr..
Kellogg relinquishes it because his health
and strength will not admit of the labor
necessary to run it. He goes east for the
winter.

SURPRISED that it would look
churlish and unappreciative of generous
and much priced demonstration of friend
ship, our modesty would prompt us to
make no allusion to an event in the family
history of the editor hereof, which occur
red on Monday evening last. The occa-
sion was the Dist anniversary of the mar
riage of the editor and his "gude wife"
which fact coming to the knowledge of a
number of kind friends, they prepared a
surprise, which, by the by, proved per-
feet success, and on Monday evening in
vaded our domicile, to the number of
about fifty, bringing with them the ma.
terials for feast, and beautiful and rare
present for the mistress of the house. con-
sisting of a complete set of gold-band
china. The visit and present were entire
ly unexpected by the recipients, and to
say that they were received with pride,
and highly priced, inadequately expresses
their feelings. 1t W IS but of piece with
the generous and appreciative friendship
that has met US on every hand since our
advent to INDEPENDENCE. The rich present
will have its chief value in the fact that it
represents the good will and kind feelings
of so many of those whose friendship and
confidence we most prize. Kind friends.
accept our gratitude.
