A House o. Our Own.

Next to being married to the right
person, there is nothing so important
in ones life az to live under ones
own roof. There IL something more
than . poetical charm in the express
SIGN Of wife writing to friend,
who said; eve have our cosy house !;
it IL thrice dear to US because it lie our
own. We have bought it with the
savings Of our earnings. Many were
the soda fountains, the confectionery
saloons, and the necessaries of the
market we had to pass; many time
my noble husband denied himself the
comfort of tobacco, the refreshing
draft of beer, wore his old clothes,
and even patched up boots; and /,
O me made my old bonnet do, wore
the plainest clothes, did the plainest
cooking. Saving was the order or
the house, and to have home Of our
own had been our united aim. Now
we have. There is no landlord troub-
ling us with raising the rent. There
is no fear harbored in our bosom that
in sickness or old age we shall be
thrown out of house and home, and
the money which would otherwise
have gone to pay rent is sufficient to
keep us in the winter days of life."

From Saturdays Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
The Coroner's inquest on the body
of Mr.. Wallace, who, it will be re-
membered, was found in dying con-
dition in the Union Pacific yards,
Omaha, Sunday morning, occupied
two days In the examination, and
Thursday evening returned q verdict
that "Curtis Wallace came to his
death by fatal injuries received on
the morning of October %, 1877, be-
tween the hours Of 3 o'clock and 5
o'clock, by being violently struck by
an instrument in the hands of some
person or persons unknown to this
jury; not, however, excluding the
possibility that said injuries were
caused by Union Pacific Engine, No.
81"
1t would appear from the above
that the man was murdered. In the
course Of the testimony it was prov
en- that no engine or train had passed
over the track, near where the man
lay, from the night before until the
engine the next morning, the enineer
Of which discovered him lying there
~ he approached. In conversation
with the father of the unfortunate
young man, when ON his way home
with the body, we learned that he
had sent his son some money with
which to bring him home, and that
only dollar of the amount could be
found on the person of the dying
man. Although the man lived for q
number of hours, he was not restored
to consciousness and consequently
nothing could be learned from him
in regard to the mysterious accident.
II, 40 1t seems. he was foully dealt
with, 1t is to be hoped by every citi-
zen Of law and justice in the city
where he met his death, as we'll as
elsewhere, who recognizes the fact
that mysterious deaths are becoming
entirely too frequent, the perpetra.
tors of the deed may be ferreted ont
and meet their just dues.

MARKETS.

As will be observed by the quota
tons, there is but little change in the
report for this week. Flour, Groce-

quotations. In grain there is no
change. Hay is about 800 per ton
higher, Chickens arc lower-25c per
dozen, and butter, owing perhaps to
the warm soft weather, has also de-
ciined slightly. Potatoes have taken
quite jump and to-day sold
readily all the way from So to AZ

of going higher. Apples are selling

residing in said additions were not
pleased with the prospect of paying
city taxes, and the annexation project
WAS forced into the courts. An In

Treasurer from the collection Of tax,
and also restraining the city authori-
ties from attempting to exercise ju-
risdiction over the disputed territory.
The decision Of the Supreme Court,
Issued last week, dissolvss the iniunc-
ton and places the territory within
the city limits, so that property own
ers living on the additions will find il
necessary to pay back taxes and obey

One Gully who led the Chisholm

Of that county, and the Meridian, Mis-
sissippi, Mcrcuyy,of Oct. 10, speaking
of his prospects, says: "Reliable re-

acquiescing In the result Of
the late primary election, and fast
falling into line in support of Gully
for Sheriff as right In itself, and the
surest way to the full pacificstion Of
the country" It appears that about
twenty persons have been Indicted as
principals and accessories in the Chis-
holm cases, Gather, son and daughter

that the leader of the gang should be
chosen as tho officer whose duty it
may be to draw tho jury who will
try these indictments. We are not

The readers OF the ConstitutfOm
have been made familiar with the
gigantic swinules perpetrated or
Texas lands. by the telegraph. They
know how ring of men existed who
operated extensively In bogus deeds !;
how they burned court houses in
Texas to cover their deeds; how ex-
tensively they operated in Kansas
City and how they finally came to
grief, but they were not aware that
the swindlers had bit anybody near
home, yet such is the fact, as II. T.
Pence, of Oquawka, ILL.,, can testify
81, 400 worth.
On the 10th of June, 1876, Pence
purchased $l3,4OO worth Of stock in
the Virginia Tobacco Works of this
city, and had the same transferred on
the books in his name. Sometime
during last July he ran across ono of
the leaders Of this swindling gang,
George w. Miller by name, who pic
tured tho glories Of Texas In glowing
colors and offered him lands so cheap
that Pence was tempted, and finally
struck trade with Miller, purcha-
sing whole slough of land in the
Lone Star State and turning over the
tobacco works stock in payment for
the same.
In course of time Mr.. Pence was
informed through the newspapers
that he had been grossly swindled,
and that all the land he owned In
Texas might be stuck in his eye and
not draw . tear.
His first step was to come to Keo-8
kuk and see an attorney. lie arrived
here yesterday and consulted with
Messrs Sprague & Gibbons, who, af-
Their learning all the circumstances of
the case, ascertained that Miller had
not caused the stock to be transferred
on the books, and accordingly Mr..
Gibbons proceeded to Burlington to-
day, saw Judge Newman and had a
temporary injunction issued to pre-
vent the stock being so transferred.
It 10 not likely that Miller has kept
the stock, and it will undoubtedly
turn up in the hands Of innocent pur-
chasers, with whom the fight will
have to be made In the courts.
Miller, the man who perpetrated
this fraud, is gambler by profession,
10 single man, and acted the part of
banker for the others at times when
they needed . little money. Last
year he made his headquarters in In
dianapolis, running ton ton saloon
on Washington street. Since his re-
turn to Kansas City he has occupied
rooms at 548 Main street. OF late he
has made frequent trips to various
parts Of the country, always taking q
trunk with him, whether his stay was
for one day or week.-Keokuk Con-

Wisconsin taking the fourth place.
Ohio raises the most winter wheat

Pennsylvania grows the most rye,
amounting to nearly one-fifth the to-
tai production of that cereal in the
States. California produces the great

cocoons and wine. New York gives
us the greatest amount Of hay, hops,
potatoes, peas and beans. Sweet po-
tatoes are most largely produced in
North Carolina. South Carolina is
the greatest rice producing State /;
Georgia comes next, and then Louis

ly the whole rice crop Of the country.
Louisiana also produces nearly ell

one-third of the whole product

gives the most sorghum, one-eighth,

third Of the whole crop, also one-half
of all the hemp produced in the Uni
