and 1t was two hours before he re-
covered consciousness.

NJ. o. Gentzke will probably arrive
tomorrow morning with large party
of Germans. who are coming for the
purpose of purchasing farming lands
in this county. Mr.. Blupck has been
busy for several days preparing plats
and getting ready to go out with these
excursionists to show them some Of

master mechanics Of the Burlington
railway system arrived in the city,
many Of them accompanied by their
wives. They came to enjoy the
beauties of our pleasant health and
pleasure resort, and at the same time
discuss matters pertaining to their
business, looking to the interests Of
their road. 1t is regretted that the
weather has been so unpleasant during
their brief stay in the city, but when
they are assured that about 500 days

chanced TO strike two of the 65 un-
pleasant days, they can not find much
fault with it.
