QUAsQUEToN, Ia, June IL, II.
EDITOR BULLETIN Il saw stated in
your paper two weeks ago, that the man
who had project on foot went to a
corn doctor. Quasqueton has project
on foot, but think the greatness of it is
such that no bunion healer can effect a
cure, and nothing will be acceptable but
the arrival of the anniversary of Ameri-
can Independence. The citizens are agi-
tating the question of having grand
celebration on the Fourth" A meeting
was to be held last evening to take the
matter up, but ] have not been able to
find out the result, but next week shall
endeavor to give the full arrangements. -
1t is to be carried on under the auspices
of the Sabbath schools and the Sons of
Temperance. L. l.. Ainsworth, of Fay
cite, is the orator spoken of, and letter
was received from him Monday, saying
he would come If desired.
r. N. Soper, who died on Saturday, the
I'd inst, was confined to the house since
last November eight months), and at
times was as low as he was one week be-
fore death, but seemed to rally, and al
though he was taken with very severe
relapse three weeks ago, it was hoped he
would revive again; but it was to be his
last, and he quietly and peacefully passed
away, trusting in his Master whom he
had loved for great number of years.
The funeral service was held the follow
ing day, in the Baptist church, at o'clock

were offered by Revs. Manson and Da-

lived in Quasqueton Is years and the
State of Iowa 81 years. Thus has anoth-
er of our esteemed citizens passed away
First, Orsamus Wilson, second, Madran
Timson, third, Danl Leatherman, and
now r. N. Soper; all noted especially for
their healthfulness, and it seemed they
would live to good old age. 1t is posi-
lively proved that life is an uncertainty.
Charlie Ward, who ran away with Mr..
Sherwood's team, as you published last
week, is not from Quasqueton, as he
stated, and has not lived here as could
ascertain any part of his life, but his faith
er does. Quasqueton has been we'll noted
and represented for its rascality, but it
doesn't willingly accept this fellow this
time, although he is we'll known here. es-
pecially by our livery man, Fred Clark,
who, when he was in company with Danl
Swartzell in same business, let him have
a horse to put with one he had, which he
said belonged to him, to drive to his
home, to move his family to this place, as
he had rented tenement and shop,
and his wife, who was a milliner,
was gong to open in trade. Mr.. Clark
let the horse, but heard nothing of it un-
til he was informed that Ward was under
arrest for stealing the horse that belong
ed to him." and was obliged to spend con-
siderable time and money to get his
loaned horse home. This affair happened
some two years ago, and no doubt Ward
was as great a rascal then as now. But
Quasqueton doesn't wish to own him.

QUAsQUETON, Iowa, JUNE

QUAsQUEToN, Iowa, June II, ~.
EDITOR Bulletin noticed in
your last issue statement that young
scalawag calling himself Charlie Ward,
from Quasqueton, had hired livery team
and left, l wish to correct the statement.
Charlie Ward is not resident of Quas-
queton, nor never has been, but has for
some time been in the employ of citizen
of Independence. His parents reside in
Quasqueton and are we'll respected, but
Charlie has never been here lover one or
two nights at time. Almost every rem
egade is represented as coming from
Quasqueton. We have great many fine
people here, but the crime that is commit
ted in about four townships is charged
up to the account of Quasqueton The
town of Quasqueton stands as fair on the
record as any town of the same size in
Northern Iowa, and we don't like to have
our fair fame and good name furnished.
But enough of this; we are preparing for
grand celebration on the Fourth of Ju-
ly, and would be glad to see our friends
from all over the county. Crops are
looking well and farmers are trying to
feel better. Yours, }.

LIQUOR DAMAGES. TIE much talked
of cases of Cornelia Fuller against Chas.
Schwarts and Aborn, brought by lady
of this city against the defendants, for
damages resulting from selling liquor to
her husband, have at last reached a de-
cision in the Supreme Court. Some three
Or four years since, Mrs. Fuller took judg-
ment against the parties in the court of
Jackson county, recovering $4,000 in one
suit and So, 10075 in the other To evade
these judgments, Schwartz conveyed his
property, comprising his store on Main
street occupied by John Wiley, farm of
1870 acres, and other real estate in this
county, to John Buehier of Chi cago. A
suit in equity was instituted by Mrs. Full.
Ter to set aside this conveyance, which
was tried in the Circuit Court OF this coun-
ty and judgment rendered in her favor.
This was taken to the Supreme Court by
the other party and the decision was
rendered this week, confirming the judg-
ment of the lower court and establishing
the claim of Mrs. Fuller for damages,
The judgments and accompanying costs
will reach nearly, if not quite $500,
which must be placed on the contra side
of the ledger when the defendant comes to
reckon up his gains in the liquor business.
The 81, 1O0.75 judgment is n lien on the
Main street store, and the, other judgment
is lien upon all of Schwartz property
not exempted by law.

WE received a copy of the new paper
at Winthrop, the Peoples Paper, !"
last week, but made no notice of it,
hoping that the next issue might
warrant US in sincerely speaking of it
in terms of commentator. The Sec
end number is before us. 1t is five

The outside pages, printed at home, are
not a model OF the typographical art, and
for new enterprise We expected to see a
little more space if not spice devoted to
local news and general reading. We can
appreciate the difficulties in starting a
new paper, and expect to see Bro. Vines
improve on his initial efforts, but it would
have been better to have waited until he
was ready before launching the new
craft

The Clipt Poem.

Our contemporary devotes the better
portion of column to the explanation of
its suppression of a stanza from the Deco
ration Day ode of the Westburg poet. 1t
says:
I'm the first place, we left out the first
two lines because they sounded harsh and
uncalled for, and we could not drop the
two without dropping the four. By that
means, the poem sounded much smooth
er and more appropriate for the occasion.
With the two lines out the poem was
sweet. With them in it was bitter and
unforgiving and inappropriate.
We think the mistake of our neighbor
was in assuming to fashion and eliminate
the poem to suit his peculiar views and
tastes. If it was Objectionable in the par
ticulars indicated, he had the privilege Of
rejecting it altogether, and this would
have been the course least Objectionable.
But he goes on to more fully explain why
the expurgated lines sounded harsh 10 his
ears. He says he did not like to hear the
line, 'See the heroes laid low while the
miscreants live" applied to millions of
good, honorable, upright people in the
South" who, while in the wong, were
"as honest in their convictions as the
Westburg poet" He takes the latter to
task for his unforgiving disposition, and
supposes that he would not forgive "the
three millions of people who about a CEN
fury ago rebelled against their govern
ment, amongst whom we're George Wash
lnston, Thomas Jefferson, the Adamses,
the Hancocks. Morrises, Henrys, and
thousands of others like unto them, every
mothers son of whom was rebel"
1t is a matter of question whether the
general reader will admire the taste. not
to speak Of propriety, of likening the
participants in the shareholders rebellion
to the immortal patriots of the Revolution
or whether they will agree that the men
who took up arms to perpetuate slavery
by destroying the Union those patriots
established and cemented with their
blood, were, "good, honorable and up
right people" But we do not propose to
dip into the controversy, leaving our
neighbor to be dealt with by the West
burg Poet, if he thinks il profitable to
continue it.
