(3] A THRIVING PAIR, Missouri Valley and Malvern, | Iowa, Mated in Print. The Prosperity of the Peoplo Told by Themselves. y MALVERN. Correspondence of Tiw Bk, Marvens, Mills County, la, De- cember 16, —1t is often said that there seems to be a very perceptible chance in the soil when we cross over the ‘Missouri river, Be that as it may, without government liecause no gov ernment is needed, with such thor. ough and modern teachers, offering the advantages of a full col- Rl and the pleasures of a family, that makes itself a great necessity as a teachers’ training school, growing and fully up to the times, althou in its infancy, is worthy of more than a passing notice, and deserves and will get the patron age, and is another example of the truth of the saying that when the peo- ple of atown will defend the educa- tional interests of their place, and jealously support the honor and pop- ularity of their schools and teachers, the school will soon become all that it is desired, but when the public make an_orphan of it, its usefulness fails, and often dies an untimely death, the traveler at once notices there are many things- strongly contrasted in the sister states on cither side of the Big Muddy. Quite prominent among these is the fencing of fields. In our childhood days, in the old home on the shores of Lake Erie, we used to listen to the tales of wonders in ‘‘the wost,” and especially of Towa, and look longingly at the old map of the United States that hung on the wall, to find, at the extreme left hand, a part only ot that mf:tarinun ‘“terri- tory,” given.” We hoped then that some day we should see that wonder- ful land of fruit and farms; and asso- cated the thoughts with the ‘‘land of spring’ and the ‘‘fountain of perpet- .‘ youth,” somuch sought after and dreamed of. But probably our ideal of perfection has been much modified by the expe- rience of years, and we search for other things and are satisfied with life as’it is. And 80, when we look upon the wide-awake young city of Mal- vern, we are lead to exclaim “Eure- ka!” Thirty or forty miles from Omaha, by the Chicago, Burlington & Qdincy and Wabash & St. Louis rail- roads, its business houses conveniently disttibuted in the valley of Silver creek, while up the gentle slope and on the plateau we find olegant resi- dences, surrounded by fruits and flowers, and all the sigus of healthy, happy homes. This village, of per- haps ten or fifteen hundred inhab- itants, has already assumed tho air of a city, although it lacks the fashiona- ble “luxuries of a city council, com- posed of leading sports, four-in-hand turnouts, and big lawsuits, paid for by the people to satisiy the fac- tious leaders, and even the ordi- nary church quarrel and school clashing fail to grow, or die a natural death. As a fair sample of what men may do when they are willing to work together like brethren, we notice that a fine brick public school house has been outgrown, and the second built, and, with the basement of the Presbyterian church, still failing to supply the need, the business men of the place formed a company and built aschool house that may, perhaps, when finished, cost $30,000, and have opened a normal school, and nobody is called the ‘‘opposition” or the “‘kicker.” The whole people seem happy in enterprise, and take an hon- est pride in it. On Sunday afternoon a horse stepped through a plank croas- ing, and what was our surprise to find a new plank in its place early on Mon- day morning. This led us to enquire Mr. J. M. Strahan, one of the old sottlers, and president of the First National bank, has just built a beau- titul brick residence in the upper part of the city, and always helps in any of the public improvements. He has twelve or fifteen hundred acres near town, and one or two thous- and cattle, giving special at- tention to thoroughbred short- horns and Clydesdale horses; and three or four thousand acres in Wayne county, Nebraska, and stock there, also, and takes Tue B as naturally as any Nebraska farmer. Mr. J. D. Paddock is another of the trustees of the normal school, and president of the board of trade. The firm of J. D. Paddock & Co. have two stores at present, but when the large brick stores and grand opera house is finished, as it is expected to be, by the holidays, they will concen- trate all in one mammoth general merchanaise store, and the opera house will be a credit to any city in the weat. Hunter ing and gen d Brown, the enterpris- wanly editors of The Leader, have been here few months and yet a they have gained the confidence of all, and furnish a healthy, wide-awake republican paper, that looks sharply for the interests of the village. Munger and Goodwin have, per- haps, the largest drug store in the country and carry a large b of hooks, sil- verware, jewelry, &e., with workshop in the rear for the repair of watches and jewelry. Tho succees of this en- torprising firm is ed in three words, ‘‘busy as be Another of our family is G, W. Boynton, of tho bakery and confec: tionery, and when he tells us he has taken in $3,000 in his stand in eleven months, we believe ho has some en ergy and pluck. C C. Baird of the *‘Model Grocery and provision store,” 18 an old settler in Western Iowa, and now holds forth in a sensible and substantial brick building, with the sign, ‘‘Standard goods at living prices, withfull weights and measures,” There seemed to boa cleanness and pleasant atmosphere at this house, and when your reporter asked for the health of the business Mr. Baird replied that he had sold five thousand pounds of flour in a month. He studies the market report in Tne Bee. G. W. Bates has the bright- est and cleanest dining parlor in the city. His marble topped oyater-tables, tastily arranged more carefully into the workings of the city government and we found a mayor and council who 'do the business, with few words. while behind them is the board of trade, a voluntary organization of forty or fifty of the leading business men,, who really control the great enter- prises of the town. The object of this vrganization is to unite the busi- ness men of the place in their efforts to secure good streets and sidewalks, the proper lighting of the town on dark nights, regulate in a proper way the police and fire department, in- tereat capital to invest here in worthy enterprises, and maintain a confidence among business men. Of course, courts and law-suits are not plenty, and there is little rowdyism on the streets. fixtures, and skill in understanding and satisfying the wants of tho hungry are spoken of in high praise He oarries a select line of confec- tionery, fine crackers, stationary and notions, and does a business that keeps him happy. The city marshall thinks Omaha de- tectives get too much credit for se- curing the party who set fire to Boyd's packing house, but “Tip Wilson” of the ‘‘one-horse livery,” always assists your corruflondont, and is perfectly willing to show a fine turnout as any- body when occasion demands it, while J. M. Barrett, the veteran stock man, swears he will sink the Whole Ber office if the market reports are ne- glected. The Jenkins House has been re- fitted and opened up quite recently, The fair association buildings are quito ornamental, and add to the scenery. Four churches, three or four hotels, two lumber yards, a mag- nificent elevator, opera house nearly complote, that will probably be equal to anything between Omaha and Kan- a8 (vlity, a normal school on the modern plan, an industrious and in- vited class of business men Jof wniversal temperance habits, a location in the center of the county, and every grocery selling ap- ples grown in the county, with rail- Toads strotching thmug{ four quar- ters, with farms everywhere being fenced in and thousands of cattle in sight, as indications of thrift and gen- eral business prosperity, with brick- yards that supply a good articlo in abundance, a pork-packing house just about planted and a creamery begin- ning to grow, two good banks, and a long list of brick buildings going up this coming season, including another elevator, it would seemn as though i wore but a question of time as to this becoming the county seat, although all are content to “K:t well enough alove.” One of the best indications of the tone of the people for morals under the management of Frank Wil- kerson, and the traveling men, who are 8o well acquainted with him, will be pleased to hear of him as again ready to supply every want in the most obliging and efficient manner. To Mr. J. E. Garrigus, of the en- terprising firm of Young & Garrigus, attorneys at law, we are under espe- cial obligations for kind and eflicient assistance in securing a good list of subscribers in this lively burg.

The school has a commercial department under the management of Prof. E. D, Lowe, who, as a penman, has few sequals in the w while Prof. M. Lewis has given his life to the classics and seems most happy while reveling in the mysteries of Virgil and Homer, and it is expected that the coming spring will introduce a thorough de- partment of music that will present the sume advantages offered in any school iu the weat, Certainly a school J.

Philadelphia Fress, Peter Johnson proved pretty con- clusively last night that his digestive organs were such that to compare him with an ostrich would make that peb- ble-eating bird rank as a miserable dyspeptic. Mr. John- son ate, and apparently relished seventeen raw oysters, nearly half a pound of common brown soap, the best part of a pound of white sugar, and drank, a half gallon of beer. The exhibition took place at Arthur Chambers’ *‘Champion’s Rest,” on Ridge avenue, immediately after a savage set-to botween Lew Chambers and Jack McNally, who pummeled each other unmercitully. A plain deal table was placed upon the sparring platform, and on it a dish containing two dozen raw oysters, a paper bag full of sugar,a bar of soap, a gallon measure filled to the brim with lager beer, and a knife and fork, Ned- dy Lunt, the master of ceremonies, jumped on the stage and anrounced the nature of the feat about to take place. “‘Any gentleman what doubts this ’ere t be soap,” said he, “can take a dose and prove it.” Then a lean and hungry-look- ing man with a bald head, a bad eye and a depressed stomach, got on the platform, and immediately ate three oysters before he made his bow. “Neddy" pulled his sleeve, and the human ostrich made an awkward bob of the-head, and then picked up the knife, with which he coolly shaved offa piece of soap, put a pinch of sugar in it, topped off with an oyster, and deliberately swallowed the mess entire. ‘“Gimme a bowl,” said he, without paying the slightest attention to the laughter and shouting of the crowd. The vessel was brought, and Johnson gravely chipped three or four ounces of soap mto it, following with the same pro- portion of sugar, and a half dozen oysters. This he stirred up with a waiting thedropping of | = tork, and then took a long draught of beer. *‘This is an oyster’s eye,” said Johnson, tgking a piece of soap on his fork and putting it in his mouth; “‘and this is the oyster,” as he swallowed the pulpy part of one of the bivalves, which was coated with a stickey mass ot sugar. A At this point a stout gentlemen in the audience was observed to turn suddenly pale, place his hand upon his abdomen nns retire in haste. An- other man wearing a plaid coat and very tight pantaloons said *Ugh!” and followed the fat citizen down. stairs and into the street, where they compared notes, Arthur Chambers, who hadbeen watching the proceedings intently :uP to this time, made a break for the bar and gulped down soveral glasses of ice water. Mr. Johnson continued to feast on oysters, soap, sugar and beer, and to all ap- | R peardnces without the slighsest incon- venience. The only notice he took of the audience was to pause occasionally, smacking his lips and grin. ‘Lhen he would say ““Yum yum!” and go on eat- ing. Finally, when the sugar bag had been emptied, ‘Neddy,” who was very white, got on the stage again |y and whispered in Johnson’s ear, and that gontleman, with an oyster in each cheek, halted a moment in his wild career of soap and sugar. *‘Gen- tlemen,” said Lunt, with a hideous grimace, *‘I —ugh—have been request- ed by several—oo—ugh—gentle- men in the audience to bring the per- formance to a clo—" and he relired precipitately, Mr. Johnson tock one final bite out of the bar of soap, swal- lowed two more oysters, and with a last longing look at the gallon meas. ure mude his call, That the soap and sugar were gen- uine was fully proven by The Pross reporter both before and after the ex- hibition began. WORTHY OF PRAISE, As arule we do patent medicines, but when we know of one that really is a public benefac- tor, and does positively cure, then we consider it our duty to impart that in- formation to all.
