During the Sitting Of the Presby.
terrain General Assembly at Chicago,
Rev. H. J. Van Dyke, D. D., took the
opportunity to say that he and other
prominent members Of the Assembly
had been represented in q morning
paper as teaching the doctrine of in.
FAINT damnation. In reply he said:

believe they are all saved. I beg
leave to say, sir, that this is your
opinion, and DR.. Ellinwood's opinion
and DIR. Irving's opinion, and the
opinion of the whole Presbyterian
Church. If it is not, let the man
who does not believe it rise up and
contradict 1t. I love the Lord Jesus
Christ because by His own precious
blood He redeemed me, and love
him the more, think, because be-
lieve that now, on His throne, He is
repeating not only His words but
His actions when he said, "Suffer lit
tie children to come unto Me and for
bid them not, for of such is the king
dom of heaven" It relieves my
mind of much of the dark shadow
that sin has brought over this world,
and which the broad acres of little
graves deepen In my heart, that God
takes them and folds them in the fold
Of the great Shepherd above.
Now, sir, the Board of Publication

A Remedy for MoYmonism.

The best solution of the Mormon
problem yet proposed is that of di-
viding Utah among the adjoining
States and Territories. Two contig-
uous States, Nevada and Colorado,
do not to-day contain sufficient pop
ulation to justify their admission.
Nevada has not 10000 people within
it's borders. And Colorado has less
than 100000. Territorially there is
no reason why the eastern portion of
Utah should not be annexed to Col
orado and the western to Nevada
In creating the original Territory Of
Nevada, largo slice was cut from
Utah, and another portion might now
be added with advantage. Such ad-
dition might prove advantageous in
improving the politics Of that State
by introducing therein another elc-
ment. And there is no doubt that
the people of Nevada would take
due care to punish polygamy within
their borders. Colorado would be
benefited by the annexation of por-
ton of eastern Utah, and the Terrific
ries of Idaho, Montana and Arizona
could with advantage absorb the
northern and southern portions.

A Girls. Heroism.


The children Of Judge Winchester
were al at school, and in getting
home had to cross Hickory creek. In
crossing the stream a sudden rush of
water caught the wagon, it became
uncoupled, and the bed and hind
wheels started down stream in i'm
minent danger of capsizing momen-
tarily. A daughter Of Mr.. Winchest-
er's, only II years old, comprchending
the danger, coolly picked up each one
of the little children and threw them
out, while men caught them as they
splashed in the water near the edge
of the bank. After all had been res
cued she leaped from the treacherous
craft and was caught up by willing
hands on the bank, and in an instant
the wagon capsizcd, The act was
truly heroic. The horses were also
saved, and the wrecked wagon re.
covered from the banks of the stream
below, where it had drifted and
lodged.

Special to the Iowa state Register.
ELDoRA, June 1.-The most severe
storm we have had for q number of
years visited Eldora and vicinity,
yesterday afternoon. The rain pour
ed down in torrents, and two lorna
dos-one following directly after the
other-passed over us. Trees, fences,
barns, outhouses, corncribs, lumber
piles, and in fact everything that lay
around loose were caught up and
hurled promiscuously through the
air. The dry goods and grocery
store Of III. Smith & Son came very
near emptying its contents-about
$15,0 worth Of goods into the cellar.
The building is badly wrcnched and
only kept up by heavy props. w. T.
Showers new wagon factory was al
SO badly sprung and had to be prop
ped up. The Presbyterian church
was damaged quite badly; j. II.
Hammond's barn was entirely wreck
ed . two story house belonging to
w. q. Clarke, in the south part of
town, was lifted up bodily and car
ried about eighteen feet, and struck
the ground again without injuring
the occupants,
A valuable team of horses belong
ing to Mr.. G. Dixon, livery man
here, was killed during the storm in a
very peculiar manner. DR.. Fritsher,
of this place, was called suddenly to
see q patient at the residence of Pat
rick Lawler, three miles south of
town. The team, q very pretty pair
OF blacks, were hitched up for him
and he drove to the house, hitched the
team just outside, saw the patient,
and was just getting ready to leave
again when the squall struck the
house, tore the roof from its fastenings
hurting it over upon the heads of the
horses killing both animals instantly,
but strange to say the buggy was en-
tirely unframed. OF course the loss
falls upon Mr.. Dixon, and it seems as
if misfortunes never do come singly-
as the old saying is-for within the last
three weeks he has had three buggies
smashed to pieces and came very near
being killed himself. The storm in
the country must have been much
more severe than in town. The wind
seemed pretty high going over here
but as 1t went northeast it came
lower all the time. 1t was q trying
time here for a little while, and we
are thankful to have escaped SO well.
Have heard of no loss of human life
thus far.

held at the City Hall, last evening,
and was fairly attended. Ex-Mayor
Littleton presided, and r. H. Warden
acted as Secretary. The matter was
thoroughly discussed, and It was de-
cided that It would be a good thing
to have . celebration, provided our
citizens would contribute funds to
make 1t . success. A committee of
five, consisting Of the following gem
tlemen, was appointed to visit bust
ness men and others and ascertain
what amount could be raised
for that purpose, viz: B. j. Boulton,
Major Mahon, r. L. Tilton, j. b.

THE pREMIuM LIST AND ThG

| g
The Premium List for our County
Agricultural Fair will be completed
and ready for distribution the last Of
the present week. The Fair is to be
held on the ID, Sd, 4th and 9th Of
October. This Office has printed 1850
Premium Lists, and It IL done in q
style which we think superior to any
thing we have before done for the
Society I; at least we shall be glad to
lay the pamphlet before our readers
for their inspection. Call at this Of.
flee on o. G. Graves, Secretary, for
copies of the list. We hope our farm
ers will do all in their power to make
this years Fair far better than any.
thing we have ever had. For two
years last past, the rains have about
flooded our Fairs out, but there is NO
tide Of i'll luck but has Its ebbing sea
son, and we feel certain enough Of
good weather to insure fair crops
this fall. These county Fairs ought
to be glorious reunions among farm.
ers; . joyous, friendly contest among
them in the exhibition Of their pro.
ductions, to the end that the general
crop product and the domestic ami
mails Of the whole county may be i'm
proved. Money making directly
from premiums earned, il the last
and least thing to be thought of in
connection with the Fair. The grand
end and aim is to compare notes,
make and receive suggestions for the
sake of improvement and to have a
good social meeting of the whole
people Of the county. We hope the
business men Of the towns and cities
will do their parts. If they have wares
in which the farmers are particularly
interested, let them exhibit such arti.
cles, and explain and test their merits
to the farmers on these occasions.
The ladies generally do well, and
yet we have always noticed that the
labor devolvsd upon a few. In THU
connection we must say that the
ladies have not suitable room, ard W.

will fully appreciate 1t, and embrace

large upon their department of the
exhibition. The farmers of the coun-
ty have really no yearly gathering
