Still More improvements.

Our Wapello street millers and
manufacturers are pretty generally
preparing to abandon steam and use
water power instead. Workmen are
now employed in building founda-
tions for three or four water wheels
just below Daggett & Harper's, and
will be supplied with water from
their race. The parties who are to
use water, if we are correctly in
formed, are Hammond, Cook &
Co., Kiser & Pearson, the johnson
Rufiier Works and Capt. Lamme.
Capt. Lamme has already commence
ed remodeling and charging his es-
adjustment and will, as soon as pos
sible, put in the necessary machinery
for a complete Touring mill. The
work, which was commenced this
morning, will be pushed with the
Captains well-known energy and
will be ready for business as soon as
the work can be completed.
The other establishments will be
supplied with water in q short time.

formed, and the "reminiscences Of sabre

surest TranquilIzer Of tho Nerves.

Surest TTanquiitzer Of tho Nerves.
The surest tranquilizer ofthe nerves
is medicine which remedies their
upersensitiveness by invigorating
them. Over-tension of the nerves al
ways weakens them. What they need
then, is tonic, not sedative. The
latter is only useful when there is in
tense excitement and an immediate
necessity exists for producing quie-
tude o. the brain. Hosteter's stomach
bitters restores tranquility of the
nerves by endowing them with the
vigor requisite to bear, without being
Jared, or disturbed unhcalthfully the
ordinary impressions produced
through the media Of sight. hearing
and reflection. Nay, it does more
than this-it enables them to sustain
a degree of tension from mental APP
plication which they would be total
ly unable to endure without its as
sistance. Such, at least, is the ire
sistable conclusion to be drawn from
the testimony of business and profess
sional men, literateurs, clergymen,
and others who have tested the forti-
flying and reparative influence of this
celebrated tonic and ncrvine.

THE CENTRAL RAILROAD
Wants a Connection with ottunwa

MarShalltown Times.
Receiver Morrill, made his first reA
port to the Court, July LIST. II is very

Mr.. Grinnell, and says the improves
ments entered upon by Mr.. G.. are be-
ing carried out.
800 rails will be purchased this season
to maintain the road, and an increase
of rolling stock to do the business.
He recommends that connection be
secured in some way with the roads
at Ottumwa, which is now the termi-
nus of the Central, but only reached
over another road. A line can be
built from Muchakinock by way of
kirkville to Ottumwa. The citizens
of the latter place having offered to
grade and tie it, or parties will build
1t If they can be guaranteed fair in
terest on the cost. This connection is
greatly needed, and We hope the
Court will give Mr.. Morrill, the au-
thority to secure it. AS now, the
outlet of the Central is at the mercy
of another road. He recommends
improvements in the general offices at
Marshalltown, which are little better
than cattle stalls, and the casing of
the machine shop with brick. He in
forms the Court that he has already
taken steps to collect the residue of
the machine shop tax. This may
raise the question involved on the
citizens contract.

When Weaver Got SoYe-headed


While Gen. Weaver was in our Of
flee, a few weeks ago. he was moan
ing over his defeat two years ago in
the convention that nominated Samp-
son. He said that he had the greater
strength in the convention and had it
not been for "wire pulling" he would
have been nominated, anu then reach
ing into his pocket he took therefrom
an article clipped from the Bloom
field Republican which also thought
he was virtually nominated. In a
few minutes more he remarked that
he was grcenbacker two years be-
fore he left the republican party.
He has been out of the republican
party one year, hence three years ago
he was greenbacker. Two years
ago he was before republican con-
vention trying to get nomination to
Congress. There is not worse old
demagogue in the State than this
same Gen, Weaver.

Serious Accident.

Saturday evening, about six o'clock,
after our daily had gone TO press,
Mr.. Samuel Kendall, contractor on
Court street sewer, met with pain
full and serious accident, which for a
time it was thought would prove ia
tai. He had been working down in the
sewer where it was wet and muddy,
but had come to the surface, and
while standing on . two inch plank
thrown across the ditch he either
made . mis-step or his feet slipped
and he was precipitated to the bot
tom, some twelve feet, his head strlk-
ing on the brick work at the bottom,
fracturing his skull. He was lifted
out as soon - possible, physicians
hastily summoned, restoratiyes ap-
piled, and as soon as respiration was
restored he was taken to his resi-
dencs. For . time, however, it was
feared that he had breathed almost
his last. Mr.. Kendall is q man of
iron constitution, and during the
last ten days of exceedingly hot
weather he has worked continuously,
doing more mason work than two
ordinary men ought to do; in fact
he was overworked, worried, ner-
vous, and this, perhaps, was the
cause more than anything else of his
fatal misstep. About noon yester-
day he became somewhat rational,
and his physicians, Drs. Lewis, Thrall
and Lathrop, began to have some
hope. This morning his symp-
toms were still encouraging, and
should no unfavorable turn take
place there is good hopes Of his ulti-
mate recovery, Mr.. Kendall is a
Woodworking, public-spirited citi-
zen, and he and his partner, Jacob
Chiffon, have been identified with
many important improvements in
this city and elsewhere in the State
have had large contracts at the Re.
form School, Eldora, the Agricultur.
