REMEMBER, Ellis Last Legs" 2w

WE crave the indulgence of our readers
for somewhat scant local page this week
Our advertising patrons are imperative for
room, and will not be denied Their
favors coming in rather late, encroach
upon the space devoted to reading matter.
But our dealers mean business, and have
enterprise, liberality and facilities to COM
mand it. There is no town from Dubuque
to Sioux City, where customers can find
better goods in greater variety and at low
er figures than in Independence, and this
in all lines. People at a distance are
getting to know of this, and the trade of
our town already large is constantly in
creasing.

The Waterloo Reporter says that when
Conductor Shipman's train on the Illinois
Central R.R., was about mile west of
Arlington, coming east, last Saturday
night, some scoundrel fired two shots at
Engineer Quimby, both balls going through
the window of the cab. The train was
stopped as soon as possible, but the mis-.
creant had in the meantime got out of
reach. No cause for the murderous as
sault is known.

\ FIsIIERMAN's PARADISE. - An ex-
change, speaking of Spirit Lake, in Dick
inson county, on the north line of the
State, says:
THE waters are stocked, even over
stocked, with pickerel weighing from
three to thirty pounds; wall-eyed pike
three to six pounds; catfish, ten to fifty
pounds, and are oftener caught weighing
even one hundred pounds; sturgeon, from
one hundred to one hundred and fifty-six
pounds. There are millions of buffalo
fish, weighing from five to seventy pounds
carp, Oswego, and black bass, drumheads,
yellow perch and roach, together with
many other varieties less worthy of men
ton
We would suggest to those Of our citi-
zens, who are genuine disciples of Isaac
Walton, who love the gentle sport of
angling for itself, and whose weapons are
the rod and reel, rather than the ruthless,
thrce-pronged trident, that an expedition
be organized to visit the above-named
locality sometime during the ensuing hot
months for the. purpose of spending a
week or more in unrestrained enjoyment
of life in camp, free from business cares
and worry, the intervals of dreaming and
eating being occupied in relieving the over
stocked lake of its finny treasures. Can
anybody suggest more pleasant and en-
joyable rela xation?
