C.S. WILSON, the able, witty and sen.
sible city editor of the Register, is promi-
nently talked of as a candidate for Legis-
lature in Polk county Mr.. Wilson is not
candidate, but we doubt not if he was
nominated he would feel it his duty to
serve his county, and the fact that he
is not candidate, though constantly
urged by the leading men of the county
to be, is all the more reason why he
should be nominated. He will make an
earnest, active, energetic, and honest
legislator, one Polk county would be
proud of, and one who would do the
State effective service. ..s

pointed special committee to put them

ty of Homeopathic Physicians of Iowa.
During the forenoon of Thursday, num-
Der of papers were read and profitable
discussion thereupon was had. The report
of the treasurer-Dr. Virgin of Burlington,
shows that the present official corps, has
succeeded by dint of hard work, in put
ting the association firmly on its feet

kuk; the Secretary-Dr. e. A. Guilbert of
Dubuque; and the Treasurer-Dr. W. T.

Downing House, and are profuse in their
praises of its comforts and management.
These encemiums coming from men of |
such fine personal and recognized stand
ing, will greatly extend the fame of this
admirable hotel, and will quite likely
assist in fatting our lean friend Major
Downing, on the ribs.
