The reports from all parts of the country
confirm the statement that Dr.. Cages great

October was very cloudy and rainy
with northeasterly and northwesterly
winds prevailing; the rainfall and mean
temperature were considerably above
normal.
At Iowa City the mean temperature
was two and half degrees above nor
NAL, and the rainfall was over three in
ches in excess of normal,
In eastern Iowa, and also from Charles
City and Waverly southwestward to
Greene county, the number of rain days
exceeded ten. In belt from Fairfield
over Iowa City to Elkader and Waukon,
the number Of rain days exceeded ff-
teen.
The least amount of rain, about two
inches, fell, from Sioux City to Sac City,
eastwards, between Grand Junction,
Fort Dodge to Forest City and Cresco
in the north, and down by Waterloo to
Rose Hill, Mahaska county, in the South,
the rainfall averaged three inches and a
half. East and south hereof the rain
fall exceeded four inches, reaching six
inches along the lower Maquoketa river,
below Monticello, also in the southwest
of Iowa. The rainfall was greatest at
Tabor, Fremont county, namely, eight
inches.

We notice that our contemporary, the
Conservative, gives space to an article
from another paper which treats of the
shameless forgery perpetrated by some
scoundrel in the interest of the Green
back party, upon Mr.. James Buell., Sec
rotary of the American Bankers Asso-
citation, as though the circular therein
quoted was genuine. The comments
thereon in the article, which our neigh
Dor quotes, are caustic, and the denun-
citation of the alleged attempt to corrupt
the press Is very severe, but none too
severe provided the circular issued in
Mr.. Buells name had been genuine. But
rs it is forgery the comments fall to
the ground. We infer that the Con-
servat;ve, when it clipped the article in
question, had not heard that the whole
affair was a put up piece Of scoundrel-
ism by the Greenback leaders; that the
circular purporting to come from the
Bankers Association, in which the sug-
gestion to corrupt the press is made,
is in fact forgery. Our neighbor is
therefore not justly chargeable with the
intention to deceive. But we hold that
to be perfectly fair in the matter he
should furnish his readers with the full
expose of the villianous scheme, to the
end that justice may be meted out to all
parties, and that it may be known that
the yilliany Of the transaction belongs,
not to the Money Kings Of the East."
but to the demagogues who make parti-
san capital by denounciDg them.

til it is thoroughly dissolved. When
well mixed give the solution as gargle
Birthstone kills every species of fungus
in man, beast and plant in a few min
utes. Instead Of splitting out the gargle
it is best to swallow it. In extreme
eases, when the fungus has so nearly
closed the throat that gargling is impos-
sible, blow the sulphate through quill
into the throat. When tho fungus has
shrunk sufficient to allow it, commence
the gargling. If a patient cannot gar.
gle, take a live coal, put it on shovel,
and sprinkle spoonful or two of -four
of birthstone at time uponit. Let the
sufferer inhale it, holding the head over
it, and the fungus will die. If plenti.
fully used, the whole room may be filed
with the fumes, and the patient can
walk about inhaling, the doors and win
dows being closed. The mode Of fumi-
eating room with sulpher has often
cured most violent attacks of cold in
the head, chest, etc, at any time, and is
recommended in cases Of consumption
and asthma.

THE Conservative endeavors to make
point against Congressman Burdick
because of his vote in the House the
other day to table Ewings bill to repeal
the resumption act. If our cotempor-
airy had been disposed to be entirely
candid it would have informed it's read
ers that the Ewing bill, besides the re-
peal of the resumption clause, had also
a section providing for the overthrow of
the principle of free banking, and it is
very natural as we'll as fair to infer that
it was this feature that caused Mr.,
Burdick to vote to table it. Afterward
Ewing himself realized this weakness in
his bill and abandoned it, accepting in
its place the bill offered by Fort of Hi
nois, in which the Objectionable thrust
at free banking was omitted How Mr..
Burdick will vote upon the question of
repeating the date of resumption we do
not know, but we have the assurance
that upon all questions be will be guild
ed by his convictions of duty regardless
of the clamor Of those who with parti-
san purpose are watching to find flaws
in his record.

One day last week Thos. Dale went to
Saratoga township, armed with a war
rant for the arrest of German farmer
residing there by the name of John
Freiknech, charged, on the complaint of
John Vessel, German of Paris town
ship, who had endorsed paper for Freik-
mech, with disposing Of his property for
the purpose Of defrauding CREDITORS
The arrest was made, after which the
accused went into his house and up
stairs, consisting merely of loft, at the
consent of constable Dale, who, after a
suitable slime had elapsed called on him
to come down. The response was,
When | come down, | come down to
heaven" Thereupon Dale commenced
to ascend the ladder; when his head
came above the floor he was felled with
a. heavy blow on the head from big fiat
file in the hands of the accused. Pas
sing out of the house, his head bleeding
profusely, he was startled at the sound
of pistol shot in the loft where he had
just left Freiknech. Going into the
house, Mr.. Dale found the whole family
in tears, a little boy protesting that his
father was dead Ascending the stairs
again, sure enough he had shot himself.
Placing the muzzle of the pistol at the
temple, he had instantly sent himself
into the presence of his Creator. Mr..
Dale, on reaching town, was completely
covered with blood, from the flow of the
wound inflicted upon his head. A Cor
oners inquest was held on deceased, and
a verdict rendered as indicated by the
foregoing facts.

VERY few of our readers are aware
that the Republican battle was fought
and won in Clayton county, this year,
on the square issue of endorsement of
the Policy, yet such is the fact. Thos.
Updegraff was the Republican candidate
for Representative. He, with his asso-
ciate in the State convention, Mr.. Cros-
by, was among the most outspoken de-
tenders of the Policy in that body. He
was nominated as Policy Republican"
for the Legislature, made the canvass as
such, in his speeches taking strong
ground for the President. The result
was that the county, which in 1875 gave
Letter 322 majority over Kirkwood,
this year gave Gear majority of 1O3
over Irish, Notwithstanding the division
of 167 votes to Jessup. Mr.. Updegraff' S
majority was 316, while that of his as
sociate on the ticket, who made no pub
lie announcement of his opinions on the
question, was POP less. The Sioux City
Journal, commenting upon the above
facts, asks IF our policy friends will
pause in their row about Ohio and dis
sect the facts as developed in Clayton
county, Iowa?"

THERE has been considerable talk
about the President appointing Demo
Gratis and Rebels to Office, and a good
many Republicans who have been dis
posed to favor everything else that he
has done, have halted at this. 1t has
been ascertained that just ten Demo
Gratis and Confederates have received
positions at the hands Of the President,
and that seven of these appointments
were made upon the recommendation of
the Republicans in the localities to
which they belong. Let us see; there
are 100000 Offices to be filled in the
country. At the rate of ten Democrat
ic appointments in eight months, the
reader can figure for himself how long
it will take the President to turn the
country over to the Democracy.

Two specimens of the Mississippi
bull-dozing chivlary, at Brookham, in
that State, lately attempted to intimi-
date the negro population by inAicting
100 lashes upon the back of an inoffens=
i've black man whom they had previous
ly warned to leave. For this offense
they were arrested, tried in court, found
guilty, and each sentenced to ten months
in prison and to pay fine of 800. A
certain class of the anti-policy papers
keep vigilant watch for sporadic cases
of violence in the South, which they
make the most of as proofs of the fail
ure of President Hayes policy of non
interference. tt such occurrences are
legitimate evidence against the policy,
the above instance of even-handed just
ice in protection Of the negro may be
quoted to prove that it is not a failure.

A SERIOUS charge is brought against

A SERIOUS charge is brought against
Mr.. John Welsh, nominated by the Pres
ident last week as Minister to England
It is that the firm of which he is mem
Der is the owner of large sugar estate
in Cuba, including a large number of
slaves. If this is true, or if the friends
of Mr.. Welsh cannot satisfy the country
beyond question that it is not true, it
constitutes a sufficient reason why his
nomination should not be confirmed by
the Senate. We notice, however, that
Mr.. Welsh has emphatically contradict
ed the charge, saying that no member of
his firm has directly or indirectly any
interest in any plantation in Cuba or in
any slave. 1t is stated that the estate
in question, which is owned by Cubans,
has been registered in the name of the
Messrs. Welsh to avoid the danger of
pillage and confscation by the contend
ing parties in the civil war upon that
island
