" Death rides on every passing breeze, and

Of the year. The sudden changes Of the
weather produce Colds, Coughs. Catarrh,
Bronchitis, Rheumatism and Neuralgia,
while the poisonous exhslations arising
from the earth, induce deadly fevers. At
this perilous season the greatest care
should be exercised, and the SEVEN SEALS

it can be brought quickly into requisition.

AN UNNATURAL FATHER,
a Terrible Crime,

Over the river in Cleona township, there
is great excitement over the discovery of
a terrible and unatural crime committed by
father upon two Of his daughters, and
talk was freely INDUCED in of lynching the
monster, and there is very little doubt that
summary measures would have been
resorted to by the indignant inhabitants,
had not the brute been arrested and lodged
in Jail in Davenport. The Democrat says:
His name is Hans Lass, German,
about AZ years Of age, who occupied an old
hut about Is miles from this city, and
about miles nCrth of Durant, on the
Cedar county line. He owns about an
acre of ground there on which he raises
few vegetables, from the proceeds OF
which, and occasionally working for
farmers in the ueighborhood, he ekes out
a miserable subsistence tor his family.
which consists of himself, wife and eight
chldren-four boys and four girls, the
eldest of whom is but sixteen Years of age.
He has been 10 this country but about
four years, and nearly all of that time has
resided in this county.
THE awful crime charged upon him is
for nameless outrage upon his eldest
daughter, Mary Lass, very good looking,
well developed girl, l6 years old. The
preparation Eof the crime is sworn to by
said daughter, Mary Lass, as having been
accom- lished by force on the 5th of July
last and she is the complaining witness
in the case having signed the Information
on which her father was arrested,
''Did the monster stop short even here
his crime is terrible enough, and merits
the most extreme punishment; but it at
pears also, by the statement of the mex
oldest girl, Is years of age, that he
father has also debauched her"
The examination was conducted witt
closed doors. The girl testified to tn
occurrence, the date being the 5th of Jul.
last, as stated before. A farmer who wit
messed Lass conduct with his child, in SOM
bushes near their home, also testified as t
what he had SEEM The other daughter VIII
had been debauched by the father, was ais
in court, with her mother who held an infan

City Council Meeting Tonight.


1t is quite evident that Messrs. Butler,
Carse, DAVIS. Bailey and Woodruff begin
to realize that power is fast slipping from
their hands. At the election last spring
they were repudiated in every ward, but
instead Of gracefully yielding to the ex-
preston of popular will and aiding in car
rying on a harmonious city government
they conspired with Bill Atkinson to make
a factious personal warfare on Mayor DAY.
export during the entire year. He, the
chosen representative Of the whole people
and for the seventh time and by the larg-
est majority of any man who was ever
elected was set upon by this band of con-
spirators and thwarted and hindered in
every possible way in carrying out meas
ures for the benefit of the people whose
Immediate representative he was and is.
No measure of economy or reform recon-
mended by him failed to incur the bitter
and spiteful and factious opposition Of
this clique. He has borne it with patience,
seeking to do what good he could for the
people and to shield the treasury from
their assaults. 1t is a source of sincere
qualification to the people at large to know
that the days Of the clique are drawing to
a close, and that other men will be called
to take the places they now occupy only to
misrepresent the will of the people in ev-
cry ward in the city.
On Monday last, at the regular monthly
meeting. on motion of Butler, the council
adjourned to next Monday evening at 6: 80
This hurried adjournment, after the trans
action of some regular business, was occa-
stoned by the absence of Carse, as they
feared the Mayor would appoint new
water board. Butter took DAVIS in cor
ner and drilled him awhile before it was
accomplished. Davis seemed inclined to
be refractory and have mind of his own,
but he was soon reduced to obedience By
Buffers discipline, and the adjournment
was then accomplished.
BY the terms OF the ordinance creating
the water board the terms Of Office of all
the members and all the officers expire on
the first Monday in January, on which
day, or at the first meeting thereafter, the
council is required to elect a new board
Butt the Mayors law superceeds that
part of the ordinance 10 regard to the man
ner of appointment and confers on thu
Mayor power to appoint. OF course NJ
one can now claim that the term of offic,
OF all the board has not expired and it vii
be the duty of the Mayor to appoint at tn,
next meeting.
The usual factious and spiteful opposi
ton of Butler & Co. is to be expected. O
course, and it is not likely that they vii
confirm any appointments the Mayor ma
make. The only objection they can max
will be that the Mayor appointed the men
They will probably hope, by rejecting tn
new appointments, to hold over; but tn
Mayor can then remove every one OF them
and unless the council, by eight votes, dis
D approve of the removal they are out
whether any new appointments are mad
or not. Nothing but factious opposition t
the best interests Of the city, and persona
= and political opposition to the Mayor, is e1
p pected from the Butler clique.
