THE Fairfield Ledger thus refers to
one important matter for Legislative ac-
ton during the coming session:
In it's work this winter the Legisla-
lature might make some changes in our
road laws which would be of immense
benefit to the people of Iowa At pres
ent in most counties there is really no
system, but each taxpayer works to
suit himself. What one supervisor
does accomplish one year is undone by
his successor. When the time arrives
for working the road two good men
who labor by the day will perform as
much labor as the entire force ordered
out by the supervisor. Then, too. this
office itself is thought to be burden,
and the men who are best fitted for the
position generally refuse to qualify, not
withstanding the forfeiture of the s.
which refusal inficts upon him, Until
some different system is adopted Iowa
will always have poor roads. and partic-
ularly will this be the case in wet sea-
sons, such as the present one. 1t is
now almost impossible to travel by
team through this section of the State,
principally on account OF poor roads.
Not that energetic work in the right di-
rection would do away with the mud en-
tirely, but with a fixed grade, suitable
system of drainage, good culverts and
bridges, many of the difficulties of Iowa
travel would be done away with. The
legislator who introduces into the Leg
islature bill for change in our road
laws will be a public benefactor, and
will deserve more good words and hear
ty support than he will ever receive,

admiration OF all beholders. Herr

CAPTAIN HARTsTENE AND 0UEEs VIC.

The recent reception of Ex-PresideHt
Grant by Queen Victoria recalls 10 my
mind the circumstance OF pleasant re-
ception given by the same sovereign
one and twenty years ago TO an eminent
American naval commander. the par
ticulars Of which were narrated to me
shortly afterward by an ofi ser under
his command. Tue distinguished naval
officer 10 whom l refer was Commander
Henry j. HarbsJene, who, it villa be fa-
| membered, was in 1855 ordered to con-
Vey to England the British exploring
| bark Res oiute, which, having been ahaR-
doned in the Arctic seas, had been rss-
cued by New London whaier, and puf-
chased OF her salvors by Congress as q
present to the British Governments.
| While on that mission and at South
hampton he received q special invitation
to visit the Queen at Osborne House,
and to remain her guest from Saturday
evening until Monday morning; and
| while on the visit he had an opportunity
| for social Intercourse with her Majesty,
| the Prince Consort, who was then iiF-
ing, and their then young family, which
| l can safely say has never been expert
euoed by any other American, and prob
ably by very few outside the Royal
family circle. Much to Capt. Hart

After dinner the children were ush-

The usually quiet little hamlet of Ce.

situated on the Warsaw Pike, about a

the scene OF considerable excitement

Joseph Habig and Bernard Weigel.
The latter on that day accompanied by
few friends named Joseph Streibig,
Joseph Z)ller, Philip Burns aud Michael
StreibiS, went into Habig's saloon.

row waSkicked up, the saloonists being
the combatants. Finally Welgel was
ousted from Habig's domicile, and he
crossed over to his own place.
Presently out rushed the enraged Ha-
big with loaded revolver, one Of the
chambers OF which he emptied while

assalled The house In which Habig took
refuge after firing the shot, and several
OF the windows bear testimony to the
accuracy OF their aim with powders.
The counter also was splintered by
a missile which entered through the
door, and in. the course Of u few minutes
