THE Conservative and Vindicatorha
got up controversy over the question
of advertising. The Vmdicator foolish
ly made the assertion, as it has been in
the habit of doing at all times, that it's
columns were the best place for bust
ness men in Independence and Water
loo to advertise The Conservative reads
it moral lecture on the sin of it's pre-
sumption, land gives few plain facts that
the indicator would do we'll to study.
The indicator is old enough to see the
Righteousness of the absurd claim it
sets up. If we should claim the Bull
LETIN the best advertising Medium for
Jesup merchants, it would, with perfect
justice, make haste to dispute the
statement. The best place for indie
pendence merchants to advertise is in
the Independence papers, and the same
may be said Of the Waterloo merchants.
The Tindicator would improve by using
more dignity or discretion.

Death Of s. s. Clark.

It becomes our painful duty to chron-
icle the death of another of our promi-
nent citizens. Mr.. Sanford S. Clark,
manager of the Independence Mills,
died at his residence in this city, at an
early hour this morning, after long
and painful illness. Mr.. Clark's long
residence in our city, the universal es-
TEEN in which he was held by all who
knew him, and the prominent place he
occupied in our business community,
warrants us in giving a brief sketch of
his life:
Mr.. Clark was born at East Granville,
Mass, Dec. 10, 1925, and was, therefore,
within few days of So years of age.
He was reared on farm, and early i'm
bibed those habits of industry and
strict morality that distinguished him
in after life. He received fair educa-
ton, and, in 1949, drawn by the fabu-
lous accounts of gold in California, and
DESTROYS of improving his financial con-
dition, he embarked for that distant
State, where he remained several years
He was one of the few who, by perse-
verence, industry and prudence in the
avoidance of wild speculation, were en-
abled to secure fair measure of finan-
cial success.
Mr.. Clark came to Iowa about %
years ago, and soon after settled in In
dependence, where he has resided ever
since. He has been identified with the
Mill property about twenty years, and
in this, and all other business relations,
has always borne reputation for infex-
ible integrity and good business talent.
On the 18th of April, 1861, Mr.. Clark
was united in marriage to Miss Caroline
Newkirk, of Ohio, who was at that time
visiting her sister, Mrs. Ransom Bartle,
in this city. She and three children are
left to mourn the death of loved hus-
band and father, who was to them all
that those terms should imply in the
best sense.
Mr.. Clark was man of undemonstra-
tive manners, but of strong character.
He despised mean act, and acquired
by honorable and fair means.
He had the unlimited confidence of his
business associates, and was, without
hesitation, entrusted with the care of
important business interests. He was
liberal to the cause of religion, cduca-
ton and morality.
Many, aside from his family, will
mourn him as friend and brother, and
the community at large will sadly part
with one so long identified with their
own city, and for the upbuilding and
of which he has done so
much. The funeral will be held on Sun
day, at o'clock P. NJ, at the Presbyter-
ian Church.

ADMITTED.-We accepted polite in
vitation from Mr. Jas. Dalton, of Jesup,
last Friday evening, to attend an oyster
supper gotten up in Franks elegant
style. Mr.. Dalton was admitted to the
bar of the county at the last term of
Court, passing very creditable exam
ination. All the bright particular stars
that adorn the dusky back ground of
legal lore in this city were present, as
were also some of the more modest
members of the press, and county Off
GERS. We wish Mr.. Dalton much suc-
cess in his chosen profession.

NoTICE.-At the meeting of those in

For this purpose, Jed Lake Esq, of
this city, is to be sent to Des Moines, to
act as attorney for the people 1t will

contributions come in freely that the
case may be given fair trial.

THE meeting held at Leytze's Hall
last Saturday afternoon, to devise means
of protection from the claims of infringe
ment by the proprietors of Green's
driven wells, was quite largely attended.
The meeting was called to order by G.
M. Miller, of Hazleton, and F. NJ. Alb
bott, of this city, chosen Secretary. 1t
was decided to contest case in the u.
S. Circuit Court, at Des Moines as to
whether Hovey's iron wells are an in
fringement on the Green patent. For
this purpose committee of three was
appointed in each township of the coun-
ty to solicit subscriptions with which
to meet the necessary expenses OF the
case. Jed Lake was chosen to act for
the people, and went to Des Moines on
Wednesday.

WE noticed in one of our exchanges

WE noticed in one of our exchanges
some time since, number of rules for
the guidance of those who call for mail
at the post-oficc. There is one other
rule which, from its Importance should
be needed by all. 1t is this: IF you
have box, never show yourself at the
delivery or name the number of your
box, but station yourself out of sight,
and keep tapping on the glass. BE
sure and keep your hand on
your box, otherwise you might
lose it. Keep well out of sight
of the man behind the delivery, else you
might confuse him in his search for the
point at which the tapping is going on,
and never announce the number Of your
box, because those fellows behind the
glass are not supposed to know anything
about the number of the boxes.

been in our city during the past week,
lecturing upon Phrenology and kindred

should judge them to be instructive
and valuable. Aside from the ideas
that one may hold, with regard
to Phrenology as science, there
is much in DR.. Traer's lectures re-
garding physiology and the laws of
health, which cannot be too often and
too urgently impressed upon the hearer.
