OtIey.
Angtlst Z,

=
Owing TO the scarcity of items j am
unable to report any thing that will
be of much interest to the readers of
the JOURNAL.
All the town people are lamenting
the dizziness of the times and the lack
of something TO do, except "Chiel,' y
who is always busy, and when he has
nothing of his own to occupy his mind
employs his leisure hours in attending
to the affairs of his neighbors.
The icalinterests have been well
represented in OtIey for the last three
months by competent musicians
Among the most conspicuous are Miss
Dunlap of Des Moines, who is teach
ing class in instrumental music, and
Miss Irene McCleary, of Indianola,
who has been teaching class In vocal
music.
Miss McCleary isa success as music
teacher, and thoroughly understands
both instrumental and vocal music.
She gave a free concert of the expira-
ton of her term of school, last Friday
evening.
The good citizens living along Main
street were annoyed and insulted
almost beyond endurance last Friday
evening by the riotous and indecent
conduct of a squad of fellows who had
neither love of man nor fear of God be-
fore their eyes. They all had big
bricks in their hats. They had con-
gregated in the street. and were SO
fearfully top-heavy that they could
not refrain from fighting and using
obscene language. Three of them were
from Knoxville, and came over that
afternoon. Their names are known,
but are Withheld through consideration
for their friends. Let them be warned
that it will not be healthy for them to
be caught here again in the same con-
dition. The others wero G.. w. Hun
gate the great American auctioneer,
Ashel Kelsey, a man living near town,
and washing machine peddler.
Another incident, which occurred
the same evening, i will relate in the
same connection as some of the above
characters figured in it: On Saturday
the washing machine peddler came be-
fore Jno. w. Honnold, Justice of the
Peace, and filed an information against
Ashel Kelsey for larceny, alleging that
while he, in company with the said
auctioneer, were lying out near barn
in town covered with buffalo robe,
he was awakened by feeling some
thing pulling at his head. On open
ing his eyes he discovered the said
Kelsey making oft'with his antaloons'
He pursued but the thief eluded him.
In the morning the pants were found,
but the pocket book which contained
about SAT, was gone. Kelsey was
found and arrested, but falling to get
bail he has been boarding with the con-
stable up to the present time. Further
deponent sayeth not. BERT.

III. f. McTAGGART, of lola, il So
journing for time In Illinois. We
have late letter from him intended
for publication; but 1t Is 80 long, and
came so late that we could not make
room for II this week. He has visited
Springfield, the capital of the State,
and speaks OF the new State House,
which cost So, 600, 900. His tour carried
him Ms far east as Shelbyville. The
letter dated at Pana, says of crops in
the State:
Crops are very good generally, ex-
cepting wheat and oats. Corn gen.
orally good. The peach crop is a fail
ure, and grapes have nearly all rotted
on the vines. Apples, both early and
late varieties, are abundant.

THE Pella 'sweat-box,n alias Gala
boose, won't hold man over night
wsth his hands and feet In irons. The
"sweat-boxr and the Knoxville "denn
should be replaced by q good county
jail, a. a matter Of economy. The
county pays money enough every
year for transportation Of sheriffs and
prisoners to Ottumwa and Oskaloosa
and back, for boarding them there,
sheriff. and constables' fees for guard
ing, ETC., to build jail; and the peo-
pie begin to see that they would better
pay for good Jail and be done with
1t. The Board of Supervisors ought
TO lay the question before the people
this fall and see whether they want to
continue paying for a jail every year
and not get il.

AS the twilight deepens and the
sombre shades Of night overspread
the landscape, tits then yer Pella
sentimental gents and ladies, arm in
arm, take their evening stroll.
But pshaw! This lie different
channel Of thought from what we
intended pursuing; we must confine
ourselves to the items.
Rev. VIM. Hildredth, of San Jose,
CAL, delivered a sermon at the Pella
Baptist Church on Tuesday evening
Aug. LIST. A very "thin" audience
greeted the gentleman, from some
cause, but, Notwithstanding, he de-
livered homily which, in point OF
oratory, sublimity, and perspicuity,
has scarcely, If ever, been excelled
in this city.
Mr.. Robbins, one of the editors
of the Baptist Beacon, removed his
family on the second inst. to Des
Moines, his present field oflabor.
The public school building is
rapidly nearing completion. The
foundation walls are all finished
and brick laying begun. OF the
twenty hands engaged in work upon
it, two are colored gents; couldn't
some OF Samuel Us. friends get up
another Hamburg affair here?
A few days ago small boy of L..
Linden, while handling loaded
pistol, accidentally discharged 1t in
his sisters face, the ball entered be-
low one of her eyes. The wound is
not serious as the pistol was small
and the charge of powder light.
Harvest is principally over. The
wheat crop is complained of as being
very Insignificant. Oats yield about
an average crop.
One day last week an old gentle
man of the name of Canine, living
three miles east of here, was badly
injured. In company with his
wife, he went to the timber in search
of blackberries. After filing their
vessels Mr.. G. left the lady in charge
of them while he went for the team,
hitched a short distance away. AT
fer waiting a reasonable time for his
return, and he not appearing, she
became alarmed and started in
search of him. On arriving at where
the team and wagon had been left,
she found him in an insensible con-
dition beneath the horses feet, with
a large cash on his forehead. 1t is
supposed that one of the horses kick
ed him. Mr.. G. can give no account
OF the accident whatever. DIR. Kea-
bles, of Pella, was called, and on ex-
animation found his jaw bone was
fractured and one eye badly injured.
Why has the boy that carries the
Pella mail in a wheel-borrow, be-
come politician?

FIRE.-The dwelling OF Mr.. Asbury
Craig, In the southeast part of town,
narrowly escaped destruction last
Monday morning, about 8 o'clock. A
little girl went into closet where the
clothing Of the family was kept. and
lit a match to find some article. Go.
ing out STE closed the door, and In a
few minutes the family and a few Of
the neighbors were alarmed by the
smoke which was filling the house
and issuing from the windows. The
fire was soon extinguished, but not
until 1t had destroyed wearing apparel
and bed clothes to the value OF $3.50 to
5000. Very little damage was done TO
the building. No general alarm was
given and the Fire Company, Of
course, did not get out to try their new
engine. Minos Miller, James Wall
and one or two other gentlemen gave
efficient aid to the family In extin-
gushing the fire and saving the house.

THE CENTENNIAL!
THE FARMERS TIME FOR RECRE.
ALTON!

Now, that the summer crops will
soon he gathered, and our farmers
everywhere are happy over the album
dant harvest, together with the fact
that the demand for agricultural pro-
ducts will be great enough to realize n
good return in the market, it Ia well
that those of our friends who intend
visiting the Centennial have their at
tention brought to the best and most
economical means of reaching the
Exhibition now being held to COM
memorate our Tooth Anniversary as a
Nation.
Undoubtedly greater facilities are
now afforded by the Great TT. Wayne
& Pennsylvania Line for reaching the
gateway of the Centennial grounds,
than Is In the power of any rival to
offer; while for convenience, comfort
and economy, none can dispute the
fact that it is the most desirable, short
est and quickest route to the Centen-
NAL depot; in the Immediate neighbor-
hood of good hotels whose prices
range from two to four dollars per day.
and within five minutes walk of the
Main Entrance, thus saving to the
visitor the cost and annoyance Of
transfer incidents to other lines.
Not the least attractive to our farm
CIR friends will be the Encampment of
the National Grange Of the Patrons of
Husbandry, at Elm Station, near the
Centennial grounds, on the line Of
this road, where ample accommoda-
tions have been provided for agricul-
turalists, at the moderate price of two
dollars per day. Arrangements have
been perfected by this line by which
Centennial tickets to Philadelphia or
New York and return, good for sixty
days, can be obtained ut any coupon
ticket office in the West.
