Bold r bbery.



y bold robbery occurred on the
road six miles northeast of Earlyiile
on Saturday last. Mr.. Welch, far
mer living 8 miles northeast of Earl
vile, had been to that place and sold
to liursey & Go. 4 lot of hogs, for
which he receive! 5l56lO. A young
man known ~ Billy Harris, who
was working fer him, accompanied
him 10 town. During the day they
visited the saloon. Of the place and
drank quite freely, and started for
home at four o'clock III the after
noon. Harris had dropped a remark
that aroused suspicion Of foul play.
He was Swallowed and followed aud
when " clch and Harris had rode as
tar rs Ead's mill pond, Harris is said
to have pounded the old man till he
was helpless. Harris then left him
and ran across the pond into the
woods. Some one found Welch and
while he WAS being taken care of,
Harris had ovcrtaken some men haul
ing wood. While with one of them,
he displayed Il razor and asked if he
should not lei the other fellows lie

Then he displayed = large roi of
bills and offered to pay the men torhis

aud as he dropped some III careless
ly handling it, they picked it up and
gave it back to him. Harris returned
to Earlville at 6:30 and wanted to
treat everybody. Seeing so much
money i'll his possession aroused
great suspicion that he had not come
by it honestly, and he WAS prevented
from taking the eastern train. A
search warrant WAS issued and $751;
was found in his possession. The
impression WAS 50 strong that this
WAS We!ch's money, and that he had
stolen it, that Justice Fuller ordered
the conslab!eS to take him to the
county Jail, where he will stay till
the time tor trial. Murh credit is
due to James, Hersey, DR.. Brown,
and other citizens of Earlvillc for
their prompt action III this matter.
Such crime rs he is accused of, and
which no doubt he committed, should
not be allowed TO go unpunlShpd,

The Oregon Fraud.

The latest phases OF the Democrat
ic conspiracy to steal the electoral
vote of Oregon, as developed by
sworn testimony before the Senate
Committee of Privileges and Flee
tons, are thus summarized by the
Chicago Tribune. 1t presents a
record Of rascality and corruption,
which, as it is traced back, ends very
near the "Reform" candidate for
President, Samuel J. Tilden:
First, it came out by the sworn
confession of Cronin himself that he
refused to have any hing to do with
the Electoral fraud uutiI he had been
offered fat office and paid $4,000
for "expenses." Second, that the
bride money to pay him come from
New York, and from the vicinity Of
that +. nous bar'l. Third, that by
the testimony A. +. Martin, of the
New York brokers' firm of Martin &
Runyan, drew 4 check on the Bank
of North America III favor Of Ladd
& Bush, OF Salem, Oregon, for $4,000
on the 9th Of December last. Out
of this money CroniD was paid his
So, 900 bride for the rascalIy and
fraudulent part he played. Fourth,
when the broker Martin was subpm
nacd to Washington To testify before
the Senate Committee, she was join
ed at Newark by 4 man of rather
imposing and agreeable presence,
who made his acquaintance. and
finally undertook to coach him as to
how he should testify, telling him
to cuntiue himself to what he posi-
lively knew and not to mention what
be had heard or might think. lie

Of Harrison excited the Suspicion OF
the broker, and he spoke II it 10
come friends, and the matter coming
to the ears of the Senate Committee,
they called nron Jeff's Private Sec

that he would be iniernei behind

gagged him to coach and shadow the
broker Martin! Scgepth, Senator

Iy uneasy and excited throughout the
examination, not only Of Jetf's Sec
rotary but of Martin, who drew the
$4,000 check for use in Oregon to Sc

REV. Mr.. SEE, a Presbyterian cler,
gyman, Of Newark New Jersey, has
after a lengthy trial by his PreSbytery
been adjudged guilty Of conduct IN.
becoming his sacred calling, nd i'll
violation of divine law. The henious
offense for which he was arraigned
and convicted, was that Of allowing
q woman to preach in his pulpit. II
will be remembered perhaps, that
Rev. DR.. Cuyler, Of Brooklyn, was 4
few years since brought to the ccles
iastical bar for a similar otfense, in
allowing Mrs. Smiley, the Methods,
revivalist, q preacher of exceptional
earne8tness and power, to occupy bis
pulpit. DR.. Cuyler's standing and
prominence in the denomination
saved him from being disciplined
but Mr.. See was not so fortunate
and will have to suffer the penalty
for his fragrant mistake in presum,
ing that any woman is worthy tc
bear the messages of salvation, OF
dispense the bread of life. Verify
the Newark Presbytery lags super
huous in this age Of liberation and
enlightenment. It's proper pace III

that tried and hung women for
witchcraft q hundred years ago.

The New Capitol.
State Register.

During the year OF 1876 much
work was done on the new capitol
building that made a showing. In
previous years much money was ex-
pended and large amount of work
was done, but it was on the found;,-
ton and lower walls, so that the cas-
ual observer could see but little pro-
gress. Monstrous piles of huge
stones were lying around the capitol
square, and immense piles OF brick
were scattered around, but little
Roadway seemed to be making. 1t
is ever thus with the commencement
of SO large Il structure. Much labor
and much material must be placed
in the foundation, and one unac-
quainled with the character of the
work would fail to see the progress
that was being made. The work of
the past year, however, has been dit
terent. The structure has slowly
reared itself toward the heavens, and
visitors could see that the building
was added to day by day. 1t has SO
tar advanced now rs to give Il hint
OF its appearance when completed,
and satisfies all that it will be bull
ding massive in structure and orna-
mental i'll every particular. The col
ors, trimmings and the main walls
blend beautifully, and give the struc-
turc striking and attractive appear
ance. 1t is SO situated that even
now, with its walls partially compile
ted, it can be seen from all parts OF
the city. AS people OF the State of
Iowa, we trust that it will be specdi-
ly completed. Economy demands it
as well rs Our State pride. The old
rattle trap that is now dlgnitied with
the name of State capitol building
cannot much longer hold together,
and may go up i'll smoke and fame
at any time. Should fire once get
started in it the building must ineyi-
tahly be destroyed with all it's con
tenls,-a loss that the State could
never replace.
Next year it is proposed to com
plete the walls of the south wing
and root 1t, 50 as TO protect the work
~ much as possible. The wills OF
the remainder OF the building will be
completed as rapidly rs possible.
During the past year S275,0o0
have been expended, and $4,000
days work have been put III Oh the
structure. The number of brick ac
tually laid was |, 922, 727, while 72,-
$50 cubic feet of stone also went in
to the walls.
The work on the building consists
of finishing the first or office story,
putting up the columns around the
dome and in the corridors, archlng
and concreting the east and west cor
ridorS, and putting up the exterior
walls of the main OF hall story to the
window stills of the galleries, with
the exception of setting 400 cubic
feet OF stone on the north front and
northwest Pavilion. In addition to
this, the most of the interior walls
have been built and all the iron
beams and girders composin. the
| floor of the hal story, and of the
south half Of the gallery story, and
the iron trusscs over the library have
been put in place.
