DUBUQUE would not be Democratic
city if u raid of some kind was not peri
odically made upon the "niggers." The
school board of that city, in defiance Of
the law of the State, has passed a rule ex
GLIDING co!orcd children from the schools
where white children attend, and requir
ing them to receive instruction in school
by themselves. While, as Il. rule, the
colored peorle prefer the latter arrange
ment, in some cases 1t is inconvenient
and some of them regard the inhibition
as a slur upon their race. A colored man
Joseph Howard, made application at one
of the ward schools for the admission Of
his child, and was refused. Finding that
the rule of caste was not to be relaxed, he
sought legal remedy, filing petition
for mandamus to compel the Board to
accord him the rights of citizen under
the law. The case has not yet been tried
but it can scarcely have but ono issue,
and that the defeat of the Board.

A Terrible Cough!

How often we hear the above remark
during these extreme changes Of weather
Colds, Coughs and Sore Threats were
never more prevalent among children
than now. Now We are going to urge
you to try a remedy which has excited
comments by physicians all over the
country, who acknowledge their surprise
at the wonderful and happy results from
its use. That remedy is the well-knowr
preparation, HALE'S COUGH CORDIAL
Your own druggist, P. TABOR & Son, viii
tell you that 1t is the best cough medicine
they ever sold; and will warrant cure
or return your money to you in case of d
failure after using one-half the bottle. Il
is very pleasant to the taste, making it d
very desirable remedy for children.

A physician who claims that in 80
years practice he has never lost case of
scarlet fever, furnishes the State Register
with description of his treatment as
follows: 1t is thorough enough to com.
mend it, if that is all that is needed:
For all fevers there is one general
cause. And for that one general cause
there is one general remedy. The RENE
dy is: Cleanse the system of all morbid
matter, give an emetic of ipecac, a mild
cathartic, and wash the body all over
with warm water made slippery with So
da or saleratus, and the fever is gone.

ABOUT five hundred valentines passed
through the post office during this week
up to yesterday, and the influx has only
began to abate. The sending of valen
tines, from a graceful and significant Gus
tom, has in these latter days, by the use
of cheap, course, and comic pictures, and
often indecent, doggerel, degenerated in
to practice more honored in the breach
than the observance.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Conservative,

A CORRESPONDENT of the Conservative,
whom we have no difficulty in identifying,
takes serious exception to our estimate of
the Springfield Republican. We are sor-
ry that our friend, who is not subscri-
Der to the BULLETIN, should find anything
in it SO contrary to his tastes and opin-
ions, as to call for public protest, but as
he is the agent for the Republican in this
vicinity, perhaps it is but natural for him
to rush to the rescue when it is assailed.
But however much it may pain us to diff
fer with him, We are still of the opinion
that his favorite paper is one of the most
contemplate in the whole field of journal
ism; not SO much for fragrant badness, as
in the case of the New York Sun, but for
a canting hypocricy not much better.
For the same reason that all men despise
false pretenses, discrimination, indirect
methods and malice under the cloak of
friendship, do. we despise and condemn
shS SouAoS VI thO 'PiibShCiu 4tePHVItCUe
in the last campaign. These characters
tics, we have found from long reading of
it, are not temporary or exceptional, but
inherent. Its pretense of independence is
hypocritlcal; in its own way no partisan
ship is more intense. Its pretense of de-
sire for reform needs only be illustrated
by its laudations of Sam Tilden, the most
dishonest and INSCRIPTIONS trickstcr on
the continent, and its ingenious pleas to
ward off merited condemnation from him.
Its assumption Of superior virtue is with
out foundation, for with an outward ap-
pearance of fairness and decorum, it can
lie by implication and stab by a half
statement with as much facility as any
party journal in the country. In these
characteristics, as we said last week. we
doubt not that it reflects the peculiarities
of its editor-ln. chief.

THIEF CAUGHT About two years age
Abe. Sovereign was indicted in this coun
ty for stealing wheat from Henry Myers
in Hazleton township, but managed in
some way to evade arrest, and left the
country. About a year ago he came back
to his old haunts, and when an attempt
was made to trap him, he again slipped
through the officers fingers. Finally
Sheriff Van Orsdol thought that he would
try conclusions with the slippery thief,
and so went to work in his cool, deliber,
ate, patient way, to find out the wherca.
bouts of Sovereign. For time every eff
fort was at fault, but finally the Sher-
if intercepted letter from his man, writ
ten in Story county. He sent a descrip-
ton of Sovereign to the Sheriff of that
county, requesting his arrest. He re-
ceived for answer the averment that there
was no such man in Story county. Sher.
iff Van Orsdoll afterward met the Story
county official on the cars, when, he
again stated that he was positive that
Sovereign was not in his county. Van
patiently pursued his Investigations, and
soon after stopped another letter from
Sovereign, in which he said that he was
living with his uncle. This furnished the
clue desired by Van Orsdoll He ascer-
tanned that Sovereign's materpal uncle
was named Beaman, and wrote to the
Sheriff of Story County to search for his
man with this clue. He received a tele
gram last night that Sovereign is in Gus
toby at Ames, and Deputy Sheriff Blakes-
ly, was dispatched for the prisoner this
morning. The Sheriff is deserving of
much credit for his skill in working out
this affair.
