admittance stood in the court house
corridors all day to get what they could
hear and see at lOnge range.

From the Ottumwa Herald. The Des
Molnes Leader, which is easily the best
daily paper in Iowa, has recently in.
stalled Goss press, that will print 49,.
600 twenty-four page papers per hour.
This eclipses any newspaper in Iowa in
press equipment, and places The Leader
in its mechanical arrangements ahead
Of any daily in Iowa. In the sense of a
genuine newspaper, it has for some time
been head and shoulders ahead of all its
Iowa contemporaries. The people of
Iowa are to be congratulated upon hav.
ing such an able and enterprising state
paper, and the publishers Of the Leader
on the great property they have built
up in so short time. Allhonor to the
