CURE FOR DIPTHERIA.-
"Greatheadp cure for Diptheria ia
spoken Of in high praise by the Ram
ilton SPECTATOR, South Australia. Mr..
Greathead declares the disease 70 be
of hydrated growth; and he says the
germs Of the disease, floating about In
certain atmospheres, are inhaled by
human beings. The cure is, for q
grown person, four drops Of sulplinrlc
acid diluted in three quarters Of u tutl
bier of water; with smaller dose for
children. The effect Of this treatment
was instantaneous, the acid at once
destroying the parasites and the pa
tient coughing up the obstruction.
The papers have teemed with accounts
Of sufferers who had recovered In a
few minutes by adopting the Great
head treatment, Children, previous

declared to be playing about in a few

forty or fifty of these sudden recover

DIED, Dec. 70, 1876, at his home in
Attica, MIR. ENAMEL RUFFGER.
aged 81 years.
Deceased was born near Stanford,
Lincoln county, Kentucky; was pri-
vate in Col. Davidson's regiment Of
Kentucky, Militia in 1912; was mar.
ried to Mary Oler in April, 1920;
moved to Montgomery county, Ind.
ana In 1886, thence to Marion county,
iowa in 1856. The last ten years Of
his life he was a member Of the NJ u.
Church. lie was the father Of four
children, two sons and two daughters,
One Of the former died some years
since. The remaining three, with
their widowed mother--comp anion Of
his youth-were permitted to be with
him in his last moments. La the sub-
ject Of this notice were admirably COM
bined diligence, industry, economy,
honesty and natural business tact.
Although limited in book education,
he was a model man, given to hospi-
tality. Perhar no man enjoyed the
association OF his friends more Than
did he. With many the pleasure was
reciprocal. But this privilege Is now
past, and we can only say:
Peaceful be thy silent blumber,
Peaceful IN the grave So low;
Thou no more shall i0in oar number,
Thou no more onf songs shall know.

Trouble in the Camp.

On the first Of this month the Su-
perintendent of the Chicago, r. l. &
Pacific road issued orders dismissing
all their "engine wipers," ,"and requir-
ing the firemcn to perform that duty
after they came in from trip. This
the fircmen considered an imposition
and refused to comply with the or
dcrs of the company. At Eldon, in
this county, the excitement is at fever
heat, and the fircmen have struck re-
fusing to work, or to allow the
trains to leave that village until the
old status of thingsis resumed. A tele-
gram was sent here at noon invoking
the aid of the sheriff to protect the
property of the railroad company,
and to arrest the ring leaders. What
will come Of the matter is not known
although nothing serious is feared,
and il is presumed that this muss will
end the same as all others Of like
character. The few men who under
take to run railroads contrary to the
wishes Of the officers, always prove
to be the losers in the end, and no
doubt but this affair will end in the
discharge of the objecting firemen,
and the employment of others in their
place, while the railroad trains will
continue to run as usual.

James Taylor, one of the promi

dead in his place of business in Uhiol

Mr.. Taylor has been in business in
this city for some time, having come
here from st. Louis about six or eight
years ago, and opening out in the
saddlery and harness business, al
first in the Curlew Block.
He was very extensively and sue
cessfully engaged in that line of bnsi-

regarded as one of our most reliable
and straightforward business men.
He took dinner to-day at the Ball.
ingall House with Mr.. C. U. Ambs,
an old acquaintance, and while at
dinner complained to Mr.. Ambs of
feeling badly.
Directly after dinner he returned
to his place of business, and soon
after he was noticed to throw back
his head in the chair in which he was
sitting, and peacefully expire.
As we write, he is lying in his place
of business awaiting removal to his
DR.. E L. Lathrop, Coroner, was
called at once, but he regards it as
such plain case Of apoplexy as not
to require an inquest.
He had an amiable an interesting
family to whom the sad duty of in
forming them of the death of their
husband and father devolved upon

The managers of the Clinton &
estern railroad made q ten
strike last Saturday at Ottumwa-or
agents Of the G. B. & @. rail-
road did it fol them. They bought
the road bed of the old Cedar Rapids
4 st. Louis, built years ago, between
Ottumwa and Sigourney. We be-
lieye twenty-six miles of the distance
between the two places are graded
and bridged, and that q good share Of
the work has been done the remain
der Of the way. The route takes in
Iowa City, and there is considerable
between Sigourney and that
town. The purchasers obtained this
good thing by buying claim of H,-
600 held by Blair & Livingston, q
claim Of $l2, 600 held by S. D. Carpen-
ter & Co., and large amount of the
Company's paper held by the Iowa
National Bank at Ottumwa.
We are informed that the work of
completing the road bed between the
points named above will be COM
menced Immediately, SO that connec-
ton may be made at Iowa City with
the Clinton and Southwestern road.
It is the intention Of the Chicago,
Burlington q Quincy management to
run their through freight and stock
trains between Council Bluffs and
Chicago over this new line. for the
purpose of relieving the line between
the Mississippi and the lake. The new
route will lessen the distance between
Chicago and the Missouri about x
miles, and put the company in better
shape to bid Independently for this
contract of carrying the through
mail.
It Is a pretty good lay out for thu
Clinton & Southwestern--though, o.
course, that road will insist on the
local aid from Clinton and lows
City all the same. But who evel
thought that G. 3. \ @. trains would
be running terough Scott county, u
seems now to be the prospect?

Fine Hogs.

William Shepherd and Richard
Aringdale, two good farmers of this
county, brought in fine droves of
hogs to-day, which were sold to Mr..
Stratton for shipment at 514 gross.
Shepherds were Of the Berkshire and
Magic breed and weighed about two
hundred and fifty pounds each and
were only yearlings.
These prices are somewhat lower
than hogs have heretofore brought
in this market, nevertheless when you
can get eleven dollars for a yearling
pig you are getting price for it
which will pay you as-good a profit
as is earned in any other legitimate
business or labor.
1t is fully twice as much as the said
hog would have brought any time

more than twice as good as democrat

The Mahaska county agricultural
Fair closed yesterday evening, and
from the best information we have on
that subject, it Is concluded that this
was the most successful cohnty Fair
ever held in the State. 1t was sue
cessful in every respect. The show
has never before been equaled and
the attendance was unusually large,
six thousand tickets being sold on
Thursday. The Daily Herald, in
speaking of the cattle departments
says:
"The best judges on the ground,
cattle men, men who have attended
State fairs for years, say they never
saw anything like it, that it beats any
State Fair they ever saw. This is no
CANNON"
1t seems that it is no trouble for
Mahaska county to have successful
fair, because the farmers up there
take pride in it, and all exhibit some
thing, compare notes, products, and
annually have an agricultural re-
union SO to speak.
What are Wapello county farmers
going to do about their forthcoming
fair? They can just as well have
successful fair here az anywhere, if
they will only turn outand give 1t the
encouragement that they can just as
we'll as not.

~SSA SSSe&N8 awe vees
We publish in to-days COURIER an
article from the Davenport Gazette,
which indicates that the Clinton and
Southwestern Railroad Co., which is
an organization that has been for
years struggling to build a railroad
from Clinton to Iowa City. has com.
bined with the Chicago Burlington &
Quincy Railroad Co., which has a
road in running order from Chicago
to Clinton, to purchase the franchises
ETC., of the st. Louis and Cedar Rap.
ids Railway Co., from Ottumwa to
Sigourney and thence northward
with view of making continuous
route from Ottumwa to Clinton r,a
Sigourney and Iowa Ci.y.
The readers Of the COURIER will re-
member that this is route which we
recently called to the favorable atten-
ton Of Iowa City and the Clinton
and Southwestern people.
A glance at the map will show that
it is one of the most feasible projects
in the State.
We are authorized to say, however,
that no definite arrangements have as
yet been made to consummate this en-
terprisc, although certain capitalists,
supposed to be figuring in the inter-
csts Of the C. B. 4 @. and the Clinton
and Southwestern, have been in the
city for several days.
So far as the sale, at this writing,
of the liens held by the Iowa Nation
al Bank, against the proposed route
are concerned, we are authorized to
say that the article Of the Davenport
Gazette is premature.
