An election takes place here next spring.
Before that time the people will expect the
City Council TO give them three more

we need twenty-four-one additional in
Clay Ward, one in Monroe, one in Jack
son. Give every man, white and black,
the opportunity to vote promptly
The registration laws are perfect botch.
Some competent man should take hold OF
them and revise them, and, in the interest
of both parties, have the Legislature make
the necessary changes.
Notes on the subject should be made
now while the difficulties that exist are
fresh In mind.

coach started down the grade and while
going at the friehtful speed of eighty

ton of life is appalling. Thirteen have

William r., ohr who has a comforta-
BILE property to live on in New York, was
married unexpectedly one night. He
was asked to 90 to house on business.
He went, and entering the parlor the
doors were locked on him. Two men Were
in the room, one Of whom was armed
with revolver and the other with knives.
One of the men asked Rohr if he intended
to marry Carrie, IA sister of the speaker
Rehr was not ready to marry just then.
The bloc dthirsty brother threatened Rohr
that if he did not marry Carrie that night
he won Id ill him full Of bullet holes and
shoot him to death The other bloody
brother advised him to marry peaCcably
or submit to having his throat cut then
and there Rohr concluded ii was bet
ter to marry than die Than the girl
Carrie came in with preacher and the
knot was tied, after which Rohr left the
house. and commenced proceedings for

ried upon compnlsion. And Carrie gets

The Contest in Iowa.


Prohibition is to be the chief issue in
the Iowa campaign The tariff may have
something to do with it, in a general way,
but experience shows that whenever a
sharp. practical local question is before
the people of a state, they have no time
for questions of national politics; and, as
the prohibition issue is of the utmost
concern to the people of Iowa, we may
take it for granted that il will govern the
result.
The issue is sharply defined The Re
publicans repeat the demand of 1879 Sin
favor of constitutional and statutory pro
hibition, and call upon the legislature to
provide for the establishment and en-
forcement" of that policy, The Demo
Gratis, ON the other hand, declare against
constitutional prohibition, and in the
interests of practical Temperance favor a
we'll regulated license law, with penalty
of forfeiture of license for violation there
of" 1t is plain, straight issue between
prohibition and high license therefore,
the ultimate aspect which the question
must assume in every state where it is
closely pressed. The Iowa democrats,
taking the example of Nebraska, and the
new law of Missouri for their guides, be
licve that the only wise, practicable settle
ment of the liquor question Is to be found
in reasonable license system; the repub-
licans insist on absolute prohibition of the
manufacture and sale of all alcoholic bey-
erages, including wine, beer and cider.
One year ago the people of the state voted
for prohibition by majority of 10000;
but this is no guarantee that they will do
so this year. The people of Kansas have
abandoned prohibition after declaring in
favor of it, and it is possible, at least,
that similar result may be witnessed in
Iowa.

do not feel able to do until they see how
matters "pan OUT within the next ten days
The new base ball park will be ready

The National League clubs now stand
in the following order: Providence,
Cleveland, Boston, Chicago, Detroit,
Buffalo. New York, Philadelphia.
The Cambridge club is taking great
deal of interest in matters pertaining to
the Stars. They seem to be of the
opinion that the game between the Stars
and the Geneseos was not played exactly
on the square. The Geneseos were salts
fed, as also were the Stars The Gene
secs also say the Stars are afraid to
meet them. and the reason that the Stars
wouldn't go to Cambridge on the Fourth
vas because they were afraid of being
defeated The Cambridge nine know
better than that The reason the Star:
wouldn't play them was because the
Cambridge nine would not accede to then

THE JosEPHINE EXCURSION

About two hundred jolly people
boarded the steamer Josephine, Sun day
morning, and went sailing up the river to
Clinton. The ride up was very pleasant.
Biehrs band furnished the music and
played many lively tunes. The boat
landed at Clinton at o'clock. The land
ing was covered with people TO give
those on board hearty welcome. Many
recognized friends and relatives, and the
greeting was quite warm.
Clinton is thrifty town of twelve OF
thirteen thousand, although they claim
fifteen. The town has thrifty go-ahead
look. The streets and sidewalks are
wide and clean, the business houses look
new, and the stores have the look of
thrift The residence portion is very
captivating, there being many fine resi-
dences. Clinton has the look of thor
ongh go-ahead western town, and can be
considered the liveliest rival Dubuque
and Davenport have on the Mississippi
river.
The ride home was made in the cool Of
the evening The boat left Clinton al
4:30 and landed at Rock Island at s
o'clock
