Hog cholera is prevalent in the
vicinity of Sioux City and the book
agents and three horse clevis men are
rapidly flying from the contagion.
Marshalltown has just completed =
&l0O, 900 brewery and is in hops that
it will be able to do enough bruin to
bear the beer market next summer.
A Connecticut sewing machine
agent went up into Winnebago coun-
ty, last Monday, and by Tuesday
morning the county was depopulated,
and all the inhabitants were flying
into the depths of the Nebraska viii
derness.
Mr.. Armstrong, of La Porte City,
tried to pull cog out Of q wheel in
. horse power one day last week,
while the machine was in motion.
He didn't get the cog out, but he got
his finger out all right, all except the
FIRST two joints of the knuckle.
Sarilda Atterberry, Of Carroll, At
tempted suicide the other day, by
devouring handful of arsenic, but
they got at her and pumped her out,
and she is now ready for another
dose. Disappointment in love is as
signed for her motive, but it is quite
likely that she was tired of carrying
such name around with her.
Miss Emma Abbott, the famous
Iowa vocalist, is claimed as resident
of Council Bluffs. We are better
pleased to know that this gifted
Young lady has home than If some-
body had died and left us some
clothes and photographs. Homer,
dead, was never claimed by half SO
many towns as now speak of Miss
Abbott as "of this city,
Tho editor of the Perry Chief Just
hates these new postal cards, because
every one Of them he receives has
"please remit" written on it. He
ought to stand in with the postmas
ter and have new kind adopted that

enclosed please fnd," and then
make it Perrylous for any of his cor
respondents who use the other kind.
Liberty township, Lucas county,
is an afflicted community. First the
Democrats carried the election, then
a lynx began chasing the children OH
their way to and from the school, and
only day before yesterday farmer
ploughed up thirty nine snakes and
eight scorpions in one Of his fields.
The supposi,ion is that some Du-
buque man stopped in that field and
emptied his boots, while out hunting.
Mr.. Fox, an eminent local geolo-
gist, has discovered a nest Of salt
springs in Appanoose county, which,
At depth Of seven hundred feet,
center in an immense basin Of fine
table salt, done up in twenty-five
cent sacks, nicely pulverized and
ready for tbe table. We don't want
any stock in the springs until they

dividual salts, in assortments for
families Of any size.
The inhabitants in Shelby county
are living in deadly terror Of fero-
cious tiger that roams the woods of
that arrondisement, seeking whom it
may devour somebody up. We have
a furious tiger here in Burlington but
it do sn't bite anybody unless some
body hnrks against it, and then,
when the last check is rakcd in and
th dealer won't sell any strips, it
biteth like serpeut AMI s,ingeth
like an adder. Fearful beast when
i, ge's the bulge on you.
Jam Clark, promising young
man Of k.okuk. while engaged in
quiet little game f 'drah poquier,"
yesterday, was foolish enough t.
place his little all in the pot Just be
cause he held four kings. Mr.. Clark
is in bankruptcy now, but the next
time he draws To three monarchs his
com non poker sense will teach him
there is q gentleman who is calmly
holding il his reliant hand, four
"ones.' Human nature, my children,
or even the weather, isn't half SO un-
certain as promising hand in draw.
