ty, put in an appearance Saturday
night and claimed a prisoner that had
been arrested in this city by our
police ON suspicion of being horse
thief. This morning he took the fell
low over to Kishkekosh, where he
will probably have chance to ex-
plain how he came in possession OF
the horse.
Uncle John kirkpatrick, of Kirk
vile, has added to our fruit show
two branches of Tulpchocking APP
Piles that are wonderfully loaded with
fruit. There are fifteen of these inn
mense apples on branch not two
feet long, and ten on another not over
eighteen inches long. He says the
whole tree is literally loaded down
with apples. Mr.. Kirkpatrick has on
his farm 4 800 apple trees. OF these
200 or l,4OO are bearing, and he will
have 1900 to 1900 bushels of winter
apples to dispose of, besides summer
and fall apples to market. He is thu
right man to strike for your winter
apples.

Ottumwa weekly courier. (Ottumwa, Wapello County, Iowa) 1872-1899, 1876-08-23

The mail carrier between Ottumwa
and Sigourney was about four hours
late yesterday, in making this city.
His hack being covered with mud, he
conceived the idea of washing it off
in the Des Moines river. To this end
he drove into the river at the ford,
at the foot of Market street, where
he had before driven for similar
purpose. While he was conscious
that it had rained heavily, he did not
stop to think that the rains had raised
the river. It was after dark when
he drove in, and ina jitfy, he found
himself, hack, and horses fioundering
in deep water aud drifting down the
river. In his helpless condition he
made the welkin ring with his cries
for help, and some dozen men were
soon at the waters edge. After a
fearful struggle, both driver, hack
and horses were saved and got out
without serious damage. Before
help arrived, however, the team had
drifted down half way to the wagon
bridge. The carrier had not deliver
ed his mail before going to the river,
and it was found in sadly dilapida-
ted condition. The mail was light,
however, and only some half dozen
letters and two or three papers were
found in an unacceptable condition.
That mail carrier, as he stood SILVER
ing and his teeth chattering, said he
didn't want to go near that river any
more.

Col Lamar's Address,

The announcement that Hon. L. O.
C. Lamar was to address the Legislature
and the public last night, attracted to the
hall of the House of Representatives one
of the largest, most intelligent and select
audiences that has ever assembled In our
State capitol, 4 large number of ladies
graced the occasion by their presence.
Col. Lamar spoke two and half hours,
and vas listened to With the most pro-
found attention, and vas frequently
greeted VIII hearty applause The late
ness Of the hour prevents Us even from
giving a synopsis Of his eloquent and
welltined address. tut We have the
pleasure Of announcing that we will be
able to publish it in full in our issue of
tomorrow or next day.

asking IT it is not time for the Admins
tratlon 10 interfere in the affairs of Cuba,
to stop the war, is severely criticised as a
departure from the Monroe doctrine that
foreign powers should have no voice in
the affairs Of this continent. Besides it is
assumed, not without grounds, that the
Administration has its hands full of the
legitimate business of our own govern
ment without intermeddling with. the
affairs of another. The country will take
no stock in war with Spain on account

Our State indebtedness
From the Meridian Homestead ]

/
An important matter for the serious
consideration of the Legislature when il
meets is the outstanding liabilities of the
State, which consists of warrants on the
Treasury, and bonds issued under fund
ing act of April 4, 1872. The amount
of this indebtedness we do not know, but
our reeeellectien is thatzit@is somewhere
between three and four millions of dol
lars. 4 seGa "a s. s44AM AZ
These warrants and these bonds were
issued to defray the extravagant admin
istrations of the carpet bag Government
from the time of reconstruction to the
present. The question now is,a what
shall be done with them Shall we con-
tinue to pay them? Shall they continue
to be receivable in payment of taxes2
IF SO, then we cannot see. how any very
great reduction In our taxes can be
reached. If the. taxes of the State are
paid in these outstanding Liabilities, we
will have no money in the Treasurycand
State warrants will continue deprecated,
and our Democratic administration
brought in disrepute.
Now we are opposed to reputation in
any shape, although these debts were
saddled upon us by reckless legislation
and extravaganza and without any full
adequate consideration, and are held in
the main, by men who have no sympa-
thy with the great public interests of the
State, we think to repudiate them would
work greater injury to the State than
to pay them, and we therefore are in
favor of paying them to the last cent.
But we do not believe they ought to, be
in payment of taxes. .a =
We believe the Legislature ought to |
reduce the expenses of government to
the lowest possible figure, and then pass
a Revenue Law to meet the actual ex-
oenses of government, and provide for
the payment of the outstanding debts by :
evying sinking fund, say, ten per cent.
Der AMMAN, to liquidate these carpet-bag
To this end no warrant issued
'rior to January LIST, 1876, or coupon of
my bond should be received in payment
If taxes, except the sinking fund of ten
,er cent This would at once bring our
state warrants issued after January LIST,
$40 to par value, and at the same time
rovlde ample security for the carpet-bag
1t may be objected that this would post

ebtedness of the State for ten wears.

Knocking at the door several times and
receiving no reply, he kicked it open

fatal. Mr.. Young was we'll known in this
