The post is reported to be in a flourishing condition, E. B. Higgins, Esq., one of our jus- tices of the peace, has advertised ever- thing he has for sale on the 13th inst. He proposes going to Washington Ter- ritory about the last of the coming month, Thomas McGrew has been visiting rolatives at Marshalltown the past two woeks. 0.D. Dillin, our popular grain mer- chant, has just completed an addition to his grain office. Neola is now blessed with two roller skating rinks. There seems to be a con- test on foot as to who will prosper in the business—Foote, Wilson & Slade on one side, and Tanner, Beard & Dillon on the other. Two ambitious sowing machine agents tried their hand on an unsophisticated family last week, and each agent respoc. tively managed to sell the family their machine. The husband now wonders what the wife wants with two sewingma- chines, Harnsworth, our “‘giant” constable, is busy as a bee serving notices for the court of Justice Clark. John P. Organ has roturned from his trip to New York, looking much refresh- ed from his trip. The “notorious Doc Sweet” has made anotner attempt to put a head on one of | our townsmen, which proved unsucoess- full and as usual *Doc” got the worst of it by having hls scalp laid open with a billiard cue, and then being dragged be- fore the mayor and fined ten dollars and costs. An attachment case has been instituted before Justice Higgins which threatens the financial annihilation of one of our pedagogues here. It is an action brought to secure a board bill. Dr. Robbins’ lecturefon anatomy, at Foote's hall, proved to be very interest- ing and instructive, and all present ex- pressed themselves as well pleased with the entertainment, and all hoped that the doctor might be secured to deliver another lecture on the same subject in the near future.

Peck's Sun, Ma told me to try and think up some- thing that would sort of wake up pa, or he would rolapso into state of melan- cholic and have to hire a doctor. I told my chumn about pa's case, and he sad it was too bad to see a man suffer that way, and wo must do something to save his lifo. So we agreed to take pa out rabbit hunting. 1asked pa if he didn’t want to go with us, and he jumped right up and yellod, and said it would tickle him half to death to go. I told him whero thore was a place about four miles out of town where thero was dead loads of rabbits, but the man that owned the farm drove overybody off. Pa said there couldn’t no man drive him off, and for us to come on, Well, you'd a dide. Pa wasn't afraid of anybody, until the man hollered to him togit. You see, wo went out to the farm and stationed pa by a fonce,and my chum and me went on the other side of a woman may also, ?rovidm‘l it isnot a question of muscle.” Somebody poked an inquiring bead in at the door and asked Mrs, Miller if she had taken on that circular saw for the “wilderness,” Mrs. Miller donned her business air and the reporter withdrew. o — Glad to Hear It. “‘For soveral months I endured a dull pain throngh my lungs and shoulders; lost my spirits, appetite and color, and could with difficulty remain from my bed, My present healthfal condition is_due to Rurdock Bloot Bitters.” Mrs. E.

Petitions from the people who chooso to oxercise their glorious constitutional right to forward them aro treated rather uncermoniously in the house of repre- pieco of woods to scare rabbits toward pa. Then wo went up to the farm house, where a man lived that we know, and told him we wanted (o scare a man out of his boots, and he said all right, go ahead. So we borrowed some farmer’s clothes, and old plug hats, and went around behind the barn, and yellad to pa to get off that farm. Pa sain for us to go to the bad rl\ce. Ho said he came out to hunt rab- bits and by gosh he was going to hunt rabbits. Then my chum and me started toward pa, wading through the snow, and pa thought we were grown men, seven feot high, When we got about twenty rods from pa we told him to ‘git,’ and he was going to argue_with us, when we pulled up our guns and fired both barrels athim, We had blank cartridges, but pa thought he felt shot striking him everywhero, and he started for a barbed wire fence, and we loaded our guns again and fired just as pa got on the fence, and he yelled murder. You know these barbed wire fences, don’t you. The barbs catch on your pants and hang on. Well, pa got caught by the pants, and ceuldn’t got over, and we kept firing, and he dropped his gun in the snow, and tried to tear the fence down, and he kept yel- ling, ‘For God's sake, gentlemen, spare my life. 1don’t want any of your rab- bits.” 1 got to laughing so 1 couldn’t shoot and I laid down in the snow bank, and my chum kept shooting. Pa finally got off the fence and burrowed in a snow bank, and held up a piece of his shirt which the fence tore off for a flag of truce, and we quit, and he stuck up his head and saw me laying there on the snow, and pa thought his gun had gone off and killed one of the farmers, and my chum #aid, ‘Great heavings, you have killed him.’ At that pa grabbed his gun and run for the road and started for town, and that's where the minister overtook him. Along toward night me and my chum came home with four rabbits, and we told pa he was a pretty rabbit hunter to leave before the rabbit got to run- ;xing and that we looked all around for him., e Sowing Wild Oats, How many wasto their time and resources morrow to visit relatives a fow days, Mrs. Ryan will accompany him.

Ver, ——— Afterward: Aftor a patient has been dosed with corro- sive sublimate until his teeth aro loose, his q|mouth sore, his hair all gone his limbs all drawn with rheumatism, he is put on Iodide of Potash, one of the strongest mineral prepa- rations in the whole list. This soon takes away the little appetite left him by the mer- cury—disorders his stomach, causes pain in the bowels, nausea, dries up the gastric juices, and food is rejected, wastes him away to a skeleton, and he is soon a_subject for the un- dertaker. To all such Swift’s Specific is a boon—worth more than its weight in dia- monds, It builds up the waste, roots out these mineral poisons, and brings help and happi- ness.

Mrs. Miller is a trim, bonny little wo- man, whom nobody would credit with years enough to be the mother, as she is, of a family of four children, two of whom are almost grown. ““I come of a steamboat family,” said the lady; “my father wasa steamboat- man, and_ after I married Capt. Miller— that was seventeen years ago—1I of course spent most of my time on the river. We have a beautiful home at Louisville, and my little ones are all there now, but for the past four years I have been living mainly on a boat. My husband used to do nothing but pilot, and I spent most of my time in the pilot house,and learned to manage a boat and how to navigate cortain rivers in spite of myself. There is no reason why a woman should not know how to manage a boat as well as a sewing mrchine.” ““Women often lack confidence in their own ability,” hazarded the reporther. She stared a bit, and then: ‘‘Yes, that istrue. They know what to do, but prefer to stand by and tell some man how to do it for them, But as 1 was saying, grand “‘send oft.” A large number of our residents, who were unable to gain admittance to the rink on the opening night, will no doubt avail themselves of this—their last chance—to ses the man- euvers on roller skates of the champion, e — Mr. Geo peak This gentleman lives in Emporium, Pa., and says, “One of my mon, Sam Lewis, while working in the woods sprained his ankle so bad he could hardly hobble to the house.

Once my husband fell ill with fever, and we had a run of half a hundred miles to make, with several landings, in a very crooked bayou. I took the boat’s wheel and got through all right, although you would have laughed over the amazement of the natives to see a woman piloting. Several years ago we had to go and take off load- ed barges from a large boat stuck on a sand bar above Cairo, My husband had to leave our boat to remain on the other, which was leaking badly, and so I took the deck, had the barges made fast to us, turned the beat round, and carried her down to Cairo, Capt. Cannon said that I had as good a right to a captain’s license as any man on the river.” *What do you do with yourself all the time, Mrs. Miller?” asked the reporter. *‘Well, I manage all the money mat- ters. When we are up in the parishes I buy and load the boat with cotton seed, which I buy after inspecting samples. and bring it to New Orleans and sell out to merchants. We carry other freight, of course, and I buy all the boat's pro- visions, and provisions also to sell to the plantation hands up the country, Then 1 do the collecting and bauking business. At first the merchants thought it odd to see & woman come in colleeting, but I have never yet been treated with any- thing but courtesy and kindness; and, besides, they never hallo out to me to ‘call again,’ as they might to a man,” “Possessed of your captain’s license, what do you mean to do?” T ghall keep on just as T am moving, except that I shall be oftener on deck and looking after the boat when she lands and puts freight on or off, I wanted a license because I had earned it, and wishing to undertake when necessary the free duties of a steamboat captain, ““You must not think my life has been eventful, We have never had any acci dents happen to us since we have been on the river, and I am not afraid of any. Ours is a thousand mile trip, and I sew, read, write to the children, make out bills, and take the deck when necessary. Not many boats take our soute. It is » beautiful, hilly country, and the people we meet at landings all know me. Most of them call me Capt. Miller already.” “Do you thiuk steamboating would be & good profession for & woman?” “‘Certainly not,unless it had come to her, not she to it—as inmy own case. Steamboating was forced upon me, and the happiest thing it has taught me is that whatever a man may learn to do, a e O A D 538 0 K Y, sontatives, It took so much valuable time to present thom in the course of the day's businoss that a year or two ago a litle walnut box, a foot square, was nailed up at the clerk’s desk and labeled “‘Petition Box,” and the rules were so amended that petitions have to be placed init. At the close of the day they are quietly taken out and pigeon holed in the committeos having cognizance of their subject matter. In the senate they are still introduced with the old formality, Sometimes the senmator pre- senting them makes a little speech about them, as Mr. Blair, of Now Hampshire, did the other day in presenting the pe- tition of 4,000 or 5,000 residents of this city, asking that the sale of intoxicating liquors be prohibited in the Distriot of Columbia. He also succeeded in gotting in quite a long statement of the success of prohibition in]Kansas. Altogether he got two columns and more of The Con- gressional Record for his petitions. These petitions were followed by dozens of like character from all over the country. They were all nicely wrapped in brown' red pa- per and tied with white ribbons. Of courso they had been sent out all over the country by the Central Committee of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union for signatures. That is theonly way to make these petitions at all impressive to congress, A singlo petition gets no consideration at all, Neither do half a dozen, but a hundred attract attention. So every movement has its petition factories. Central com- wittees of national organizations propare petitions, send them all over the United States, get signatures for them through their local organizations, and then have them forwarded to senators and repre- sentatives here. The most successful work of this sort in recent years is that of the men who are engineering the movement for a national bankruptey law. Their petitions are better prepared, bet- ter signed and better sentthan any others. Petitions, no matter how numerous or how well prepared, do not always effect their purpose. Blair said, in offering his prohibition petitions the other day: “I desire, in presenting these Eetitinui, to say that for many years it has beeu the somewhat common practice of the people of this country to send like poti- tions to the two houses of congress, but, so far as I know, mnever yet with any tangiblo effect upon the legislation of this country ” Most members of con- gress know how these petitions are pre- pared. One of them spoke for all of them when he said to-day: *I don’t pay that attention to petitions that I did when I was younger; they're too numerous. You can get a man to sign a petition for ST Sy o A+ 7, 1884, of the corporations and agaiust the peo- ple and tho scttlers. Huntington built through the Terri- passer without the cousont ment. government reservation in high-handed way. He crossed the Col. orado river on a reservasion in spito of tho positive prohibition of the secrotary of war, the govern. claro the grant which he “‘earr Il g0 into the courts & land for twenty years by litigation, with the ovident conviction that in the end the supremo court will award it to him. If there ars any simple-minded people who st:/1 refuso to beliove that thero is should be making a simultaneous and continuous effort to obtain control of the sonate and rmuinlnncy wo hope the revelation by Tuntington of the great stakes he will have to play for and his reliance on the supromo court will enlighten them. In tho next dozon years questions about land-grants and railroad discriminations are coming up beforo the supreme court, to control which Huntington and the Standard Oil company alone could afferd to pay the expenses of all the presidential eloctions and the elections of a majority of tho senate until they are settled. Men like Huntington are anarchical. Their anti-social attitude is abundantly illustrated in his remarks on the proposed logislation by congress to prevent the railroads of the country from favoring one shipper at the expense of others, Ho stigmatizes such control as confiscatory. Its essence is, ho says, to take away the centrol of property from its ownership. Railroad property must bo troated *‘like other property.” Tho class ot men he reprosonts are perfectly willing to be given extraordinary priviloges like those of eminent domain, and the common carrier by which they can take for their own uses and profit the property of others and gain possession exclu- sively of the great highways of the nation’s travel and traflic, but the mo- ment the obligation that goes with these rights is to bo enforced—why, then their property is like other property. There isno end to the special favors, gifts, powers, exemptions railroad men are willing to beg or buy from the logisla- tures; their property is unlike any other kind of property when they are after theso things, but when they have got what they want, and the perple seck to put them under the obligations which avo always attached to the property of the common carrier, their position is sud- denly reversed. They are then only like the holders of othor property. There is an irrepressible contlict here. The property of the men who, by char- ters and the delegated powers of eminent domain, hold the roads of the country in their sole control is not at all like other property. Not even the citizens of the monarchical and aristocratic governments of Europe are ridden by such despotism as Huntington and his associates have de- termined by the help of the senato and the president and the supreme court to fasten on us. These railroad kings will find that they must submit in free Amer- ica to at least as much control as would be imposed on them in England, France or Germany. o — Learned Something. Wall Stroot Daily News. An old Chemung county farmer, who came to the city to spend the holidays with his son, returned home posted to the anything. Why, in Cincinnati, a year or two ago, one prominent merchant bet another $100 that he could get a hundred fivat-class signaturas among the membors of the chamber of commerce asking for the immediate execution of the mayor of the city for gross malfeasance in office. The man who proposed the bet at once drew up a petition reciting imaginary wrongs on the part of the mayor, and asking the legislature (which had no authority over him) to hang him for them, Going from one of his business friends to another, he said: ‘Here is a little petition I want you to sign, It's all right. Just a needed change in the city government, Hurry up; give me your name,” Before the business day he was able to tack that ridiculous petition on the wall witha hundred signatures hanging from it, That isn't done every day, but something like it is. s A Quaker's Friendly Scufie, Detroit Freo Press. When Lee's graybacks were making their way through Pennsylvania toward Gettysburg two infantrymen belonging to Pickett’s ~ Virginians raided into a Quaker’s house in search of something to eat, They were met at the door by the owner of the premises, who asked: ‘‘Are you rebels” **You bet we are!” was the blunt reply. ““And what do ye wish here!” “Fodder, old man, and don’t keep us waiting for it " “‘If thee wishest for something to eat thou canst have it,” said the Quaker to the spokesman, ‘‘but I trust thut ye will take nothing from the house,” It was a poor trust. After the boys had finished their meal one of them pocketed a watch which was hanging on a nail, and the other seized upon a silver cream-pitcher as a token of romev:ibrance, “‘Are ye thieves as well as rebellious citi- zens?” indignantly demanded the man as he confronted them, ‘‘Stand aside and let us out orwe'll damage you!” “Verilly, 1 will not! Thou must not rob my house,” “Never mind him, Bill; Quakers don’t fight,” called the one in the rear, "Hit him a clip on the chin and run for it.” **Truly I shall not fight,”calmly observed the desciple of Penn, as he pushed up his sleeves and spit on his hands; ‘‘but 1f in a friendly soufilo to recover possession of mine own the robbers should get in- jured I shall not have to answer to m conscience.” There was a*‘friendly scuf- fle” in the next York minute, and one of the trio, who is now a resident of Rich- mond, vividly remembers having the jaw- ache for a week after, while his compan- ion complained of sore throat, dizziness, lame back and depressed spirits, All the remarksmade after the scuffle commenced were simply a few words drop{md by the Quaker to the effect that: I am sorry to put thee out,and sorry to damage thee, but it is better that thou shouldst go thy way up the pike toward destruction,” e ——e Railroads and People's Rights, (hicago Times, terviews recently reports trouble him in the least.
