To that most excellent gentle-
man and our good friend, Mr.. F.
P. Graves of Doe Run, we are in
debted for a joy ride in his big au-
tomobile when he was in Ironto n
last Thursday morning. Mr.. G.
told us that the tires he had on his
car at that time had gone more
than 3400 miles without a single
puncture. This is a most unusual
record.
The Moss Tie Company have
several RATS of piling in the river
at L%esterville. The piling is very
large. 1t is from twenty-five to
fifty-fve feet in length and about
nine inches at the top. Each raft
contains seventy seven pieces of
thing. We doubt the Company
ever floating these piling. They
ARE almost "green'' and too heavy
to float.-CenterviIIe Outlook.
A disastrous cyclone swept from
Kansas into the western part of
the State Saturday night. From
the papers we learn that two per-
sons were killed at Creighton in
Cass county, and the destruction
of property thereabouts was great.
Creighton is the place where Prof.
M. w. Daugherty is spending the
summer with his mother. AS we
have heard nothing from him we
presume he escaped serious injury.
I have neither the time nor the

sic, Essay and Song. Merit stood
out in every number of the pro-
gramme.

What are the who hav'
the electric light franchise in Iron
ton doing? It is high time tina
they were giving us some substan
tial evidence of their purpose ant
intention of filling their part of thu
contract. We don't want to knock
but when MI. Porteus was her
seeking the franchise he told u
that if the vote at the election wa
favorable, his company woult
have lights on the streets by the

| hear of several instances o
dynamiting the streams of thi
valley for fish. To my notion
there is no more despisable &C
than this-one that ought to rous,
the indignation of all law-abidinl
citizens. 1t results in that wan
ton destruction of life which take
from US our godlike attribute ant
makes US savages. Life in all it
, phases ought to be held sacret
and taken only by force of self
preservation. | hope the dyna'
niters may yet be discovered ant
brought to deserved punishment
and to this end urge the utmost
vigilance of the officers having il
charge the peace and welfare ant
good name of the community.
