THE OTTUMWA (JOURIEB Mormno, May XPNB&DA1 ,*), 1>S|I. BEPARTim. JOTTINGS I* Ittriho from iMt W*dDr*i\ty1 Daily. J. C. MrClung, otic of tlio original t CoCHtEH family, to-day paid his 29th ** H ^nmiftl subscription. He tells us that ke has no fears but that the farmers Will raise an abundance of corn and Wheat, that they will no doubt have plenty for home use and some to •pare. Ac Kendall was married, in Fair* field, on Thursday last, to Miss Stella Bloss, daughter of W- R. Bloss. The happy couple were in the city yester- day visiting Mr. Kendall's parents- The CorRtER family as well as Az's. tnany friends will wish them unboun- ded happiness and prosperity. T<ast week the general complaint Was that tho ground was too wet to l>low, and now it is too hard to plow l*retty soon it will be too warm, and between all the complaints Provi- dence, if lie listens to all the prayers, had about as well be the local editor of a daily newspaper. Messrs. Cook & McOnc, to-day, •hipped eighteen of Robaugh's Little Giant Pumps, on order, to a whole- sale firm in Chicago. They arc crowded with orders) and soon will be compelled to enlarge their facili- ties for manufacturing. They have struck the key note and from a judi- cious investment in printer's ink are reaping a flattering harvest. Bloomfield had a special election yesterday to decide the much vexed question of beer or no beer. At the recent city election it was supposed that a license ticket had been elected, bnt the alderman in that city prefer- red to let the people speak on the question directlj-, hence the vote of yesterday which resulted in favor of the no beer party by a majority of three. "In the future as in the past," the thirsty denizens of the Hairy Na- tion will come to Ottnmwa to get drunk, and then go home suffering with a sudden attack of vertigo. From Charley Juukin, of the Fair- field Ledger, we learn that Mary and Albert, daughter ahd son, and Ward Robb, grandson of Joseph Robb, lately deceased, were re-arrcsted on Friday, and lodged in the Jefferson - county jail on the charge of murder- ing the aforesaid Joseph Robb, some time since, the particulars of which we published soon after the occur- rence. They were arrested several days ago, but somehow were released and as above stated were arrested again on Friday. Yesterday, the case was called, but owing to the illness of Mary, who, it is supposed, is the per- son most guilty, was continued until Monday, June lltb. Bail for their appearance was fixed at $1,500 each, in default of which they were return- ed to jail. The excitement in the lo- cality where the crime was commit* ted is said to be very great, and the action of the authorities is awaited with considerable interest. It The Moultou licporkr hands of the Sheriff. A St Louis woman gave birth to four children on Sunday night. Now let us hear from Chicago. Chicago has a lost boy. His name is Willie Dean, and his case promises to escitc nearly as much interest as the Charley Ross case. DANGEROUS.—The following is post- ed on a fence not far from Iowa City. All who read should heed: "Five Dollars Fine Everybody who Pass this Land." Ha irk-Eye: A man out on West Ilill died, last week, leaving consid- erable property, one-half of which he loft to three needy and deserving young lawyers, to onablo them to get the other half. The report that Governor Tom Young, of Ohio, was about to re- move his headquarters to "Washing- ton, D. C., to be thus nearer the great body of his constituents, seems to lack confirmation. Four attempts to start incendiary fires in Keokuk have been made in a tew days. A negro girl named Fanny Cardcn has been arrested charged with the crime. She suc- ceeded in burning up two barns, Hawkeye: Sue Clagett dedicates her book to her step-mother. If this era of good feeling and conciliation continues a few hundred years longer some man will be writing a book and dedicating it to his mother-in-law. Marshalltown policemen arc not all as innocent as doves. One of them named Jack McGraw, is charged with unjustifiable cruelty to an innoccnt man, resulting in beating his eye out with a billy. Marshalltown needs reform. J. E. Ewing, of Eldon, Iowa, is the owner and has for sale the right of the State of Iowa of Ewing's Metal ic Portable Chimney, which looks to us to bo a very valuable invention, as a house can be heated by it in the sever- al stories, and it burns cither coal or wood with equal facility. Sabula Gazette: "Charles Bates lies in about the same condition that he did last week. He has eaten nothing for over a month yid will not weigh fifty pounds. Ilis mind is as clear as a bell and his lungs sound as a dol- lar, though decomposition has begun along the spinal column." If the people of Ottumwa secure the terminus of tho Central railroad the Street Railroad will be built and more business and residence houses will be erected this year, than in any other year in our history. Is not this something worthy of the atten- tion of the people ? Iowa State Fair. The Secretary, J. M. Shaffer, has sent us the premium list of the Iowa State Agricultural Society, the twen- ty-fourth annual exhibition of which will be held at Cedar Rapids, Sep- tember 17th to 21st, inclusive. The pamphlet shows a large list of liberal premiums, and no doubt will draw out a lively competition. The Republicans of Washington Tp., will meet in Eldon on Saturday June 16th, at 3 o'clock r. m., for the purpose of electing delegates to the County Convention, held in Ottumwa June 23rd. Republicans of Washing- ton turn out and do your duty. A. N. CAIN, Chairman Tp. Com. Attention is called to the great re- duction in telegraphic rates found elsewhere. Mr. Wheelock, the accomplished operator of this city, is entitled to the credit of bringing this about. It will be well enough for you to clip this notice out and paste it where you carry your pint flask. Criticism Net Hostility- Burlington Hawkeye: The trouble with some of the supporters of the administration is that they write every man down an enemy to the President who does not slobber and gush continually over the policy. Tbey underrate honest criticism for hostility. It is not. Miss Sue Claggett's new romance, entitled "Her Lovers," is now on our table. It is a very handsome volume, of 366 pages, from the press of J. B. Lippincott & Co., Philadelphia. We have not yet had time to peruse it, but when we do we shall notice it mote at length. An agent is wanted in Ottumwa, and in every town in the United States. It will be mailed to any address for $1.75. Address Sue Harry Claggctt, Keokuk, Iowa. The Ottumwa Iron Works have entirely remodeled their machine •hop, and have had a general chang- ing around of things. They now have one of the largest and hand- somest offices in the citj r , and arc full of business.. We saw there, this morning, a double hoisting engine of forty horse power, which they have just finished for the Albia Coal Mining Company, that is as nice a piece of workmanship as can be tonnd in the west. Notwithstanding the close times, the Ottumwa Iron Works, is having a good run of bus- iness. Ottumwa failed to carry the tax to aid in the construction of the Central railroad into that city. Just such en- terprise lost her the Southwestern. However, some of her people seem bound to have the Central, and we hope they'll get it.—Fairfield Ledger. Rev. T. Dewitt Talmadgc of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, on the 21st inst., preached a sermon upon law- yers. In the course of his remarks he said: "If I was on trial for my in- tegrity or my life, I would rather have my case submitted to a jury of twelve lawyers than to a jury of twelve clergymen. The legal pro- fession have a keener sense of justice than is found in the sacrcd calling."— Western Jurist for May. Ottumwa Times vs. Ottumwa Times In March last the COURIER stated that as soon as Spring opened there was a prospect that a good deal of building would be done in Ottumwa, as there were a number of our citi zens contemplating- the erection of good buildings. The constitutional growler who edits the Times, on the 13th of that month, published, what he thought, was the following crush- er : "The COURIER is again bloviating; it says there will be a large amount of building the coming season. We have made diligent inquiry and can not learn of a single new house con- tracted to be built the coming Spring."—Ottumwa Times, March 13. Now see what is said in his paper, yesterday. "Notwithstanding the hard times there will be a great many new busi- ness houses built in this city this sum- mer."—Ottum wa Times, May 22. Now who is "bloviating?" AGENCY CITY NEWS gleaned from the Independent: John Fuller has a musical mouse that can siug equal to a canary. Mrs. M. Mocller will continue the publication of the Independent and asks the patronage of the public. The chicken thieves are getting very bold. They visited Mr. Rail's, about a mile and a half north of town, last week, and took his chick- ens, then visited his hog pen and killed three fatted hogs, took two and left one. It is supposed they could not get away with more than two. They also visited quite a num- ber of heneries tho same week taking all the chickens they could find. TO (BADE.

In our personal reference to busi- ness houses and business men, wc have thus far omitted the mention of one of the mo3t popular and substantial houses In the city. Wc refer to the wholesale confectionery establish- ment of B. J. Boulton & Bro., which has come to the front rank as one of the most important concerns in the State. Eighteen years ago B, J. Boulton, a practical mechanic, after surveying all the towns along the Des Moines river, came to the conclusion, which time has verified, that this city would ultimately become the boss town in the State, and fully imbued with that idea ho formed the basis of their pres- ent flourishing business. In June 1859, Ben purchased a small bakery and confectionery concern, which at that time stood where the Iowa Na- tional Bank building now stands, from a German by tho name of Hcidensfel ter, and went to work in earnest. He was one of tho first to open his shop in the morning and the last to leave at night. Ilis business soon began to increase, and au enlargement of his facilities becamo necessary, ho moved across the street to where A. Schmitt is now located, whore more extensive quarters were crcctcdandhc continu- ed to flourish. In 186G the business had increased to such an extent that it was necessary to take a partner, and G. W. Boulton became a member of the firm, sinco which time they have been more than ordinarily successful In 18G0 they commenced wholesaling quite extensively, and five years ago quit the bakery altogether. The ex tensive building now occupied by Schmitt, was built by them, but in a very few years was found altogether too small for their large and rapidly increasing trade. They moved to their present commodious manufac tory two years ago, which it will be remembered was constructed with special reference to their business. It is 50 feet deep and three stories high They have felt the general financial depression as little, perhaps, as any firm in the city and inform us that their trade is fully equal to their bus- iness of last year. At present thev carry a large Btock of confectionery principally of their own | manufacture, canned goods of everj- variety, and at present have the most complete stock of fire-works ev- er brought to this part of the country and as they are much choaper than ever before, the boys may safely an- ticipate lots of fun on tho 4th of July. The manufactory is superintended by the head of the firm in person and no adulterations or impurities are al- lowed to enter into the confectioncry under any circumstances, consequent- ly their goods arc eagerly sought for and sell more readily where they are known than any other brand. G. W, is the purchasing agent and general traveling salesman. By his energy and perseverance the firm of B. J. Boulton& Bro. is well known all over the State and he never secures a cus- tomer but he retains him. Mrs. Herbert is superintendent of packing and shipping and Miss Al- lic Herbert is book keeper. We have no hesitancy in saying that the firm is one of the most relia- ble in the state, and entirely worthy of the confidence of tho public.— Should this item meet the eye of any dealer in their line of goods, we would suggest that orders sent to B. J. Boulton &*Bro., will bo promptly filled, at prices that always give satis- faction. & > •W : We are indebted to Capt C. P. Brown, Revenue Agent, now in Utah for a copy of the Deseret News, the organ of the Mormons in Utah. It contains a full report of the Annual Conference of the Bigamyitcs. We see that Geo Q Cannon, democratic Morman Delegate in Congress from Utah, took an active part in the Con- ference and nominated the officers for the ensuing year, including old Brig- ham Young as "Seer, Revelator and President of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints in all the world." George Q. also nominates and elects himself as Assistant Counsellor and one of the "Twelve Apostles." NEW TRIAL GRANTED. — Judge Bloan has granted a new trial in the case of Frank Miller vs. C. B. & Q. Railroad. The application was argued some three weeks ago, at Ke- osauqua, by Stiles & Burton for the C. B. k Q-, and Hendershott and Mc- Nett for Miller. The new hearing will come on at the October term of the Circuit Court. The new trial, we understand, has been granted on account of a show lag by Messrs. Stiles and Burton that new testimony has been discovered thatis material to doing justice in the case. It will be remembered that at the last terra of court this case was very ably conducted for Miller by ' O'Brien, of Chicago, and Hendershott and McNett, and a« ably defended by Messrs. Stiles & Burton, on the part of the railroad. In the new trial there will, no doubt, be a fctill greater interest excited than there waB in the *nt. .

We are indebted to R. N. Ilarlan for a copy of the Houston (Texas) Telegraph of May 20th. We see that business is still lively down there. One Davidson, of that place, had a fight with three men, cleaned out the trio, and one of them, Wm. Rennick, was seriously stabbed. Bill Little stabbed and attempted to murder a negro in a house of ill-fame. Sam Holland, of Lavaca county, shot and killed Lewis Anderson. Two coun- terfeiters shot and killed Deputy U. S. Marshal, M. It. Green, while try- ing to arrest them in Comanche coun- ty. A gang of outlaws atBrownwood made the sheriff deliver up the jail keys while his head was covered with a revolver, and then • they liberated four of their pals and turned them loose to commit more murders and robberies. Henry Martin tell from his wagon, was run over and killed a few days ago on Galveston Island. A few years ago his wife died, and he buried her in his hen house without shroud or coffin—just retribution. A difficulty occurred in Robertson county between two men named AVm. Smith and Spry. Spry not being spry enough for Smith, was killed, and Smith escaped. A white woman named Anne, liv- ing in the neighborhood of the St. Louis Hotel in Dallas, suicided Thurs- day night by taking morphine. She and her "lover" quarrelled, and in her despair she ended the troubles of this life with the fatal drug. A beautiful girl deserts her home at Fort Worth to pursue a life of shame. So wc conclude that Houston and Texas generally, is a lively place, an easy place for a local editor to make a stunning paper, and that the Tel- egraph meets with quick sales and has a large circulation. Daily papers in Texas arc indispensible, or how else could the public keep posted in the rapidly occurring crimes in that State. A LETTER FROM MAJ. HAMILTON Toi-EK A, May 23, '77.—Courier: In my last, written from Emporia, on Monday, 1 expected to have reached Sherman's body that day. I did not, however, get away from Emporia until 5 p. in., Tuesday, and met the east-bound train with tho corpse at Florence, which is about 100 miles cast of Ellinwood. I returned from there, arriving here yesterday after- noon. Contrary to what 1 had heard, the body was simply enclosed in an ordinary wooden casket, and in bad condition. I had it taken to an un- dertaker's and put in excellent shape and enclosed in a fine metallic casket, tho railroad company paying all ex- penses, amounting to $290. I saw the body after it had been thoroughly deodorized, and it was easily recog- nizable. I have not seen nor heard of the Grays sinco I left home. I learned that Byron Clark's injuries, though painful, are in no sense dangerous, and that he would be about soon. I saw tho baggageman and two other gentlemen who were in the wreck, and talked at length with them. Tho accident occurred be tween 7 and 8 o'clock Friday even- ing, the 18th inst. It was growing dusk, but not dark. The place where it occurred Was an embankment, say fifteen feet high, across a gulch. There was no culvert. The tremen- dous raius had collected a body of water in the gulch, which had risen so as to run over the track, and this had worn away tho embankment down to its full depth, for a space of about a rod. The rails and ties were still lying, almost naturally, across the chasm- -not having fallen in—and so tho engineer was deceived until he got so close upon it that it was impossible to stop in time. The en- gine plunged in, and turned over; a rail went up through the tender, hoisting it and turning it clear over to one side; next, the baggage car dropped into the chasm, and the pas- senger car following telescoped the baggage car. In this car it is sup- posed all the killed—three in number —were sitting. At all events, Sher- man was iu this car, beyond question. Contrary to what I expected when I learned by telegram the character of his injuries, he was, at least by times, sensible, and conversed with his attendants. I suppose he com- municated to the Grays his wishes, but I have learned nothing about it. He suffered terribly, but all say he bore up with remarkable fortitude. For hours before he died he told those around him that he could not live, though the physicians endeavor- ed to checr him up. The fact is, his head was so terribly crushed that it is wonderful how he lived so long, or that he knew anything. The Grays and Billy Carnes wore in the rear car, and received no injury There were, in all, four passenger cars. Beyond Emporia tho road runs up the valley of the Cottonwood, and the whole valley was under water Even when I went out, on Tuesday, the water, in places, was running over the track, though it had then fallen many feet—1 should say at least six feet, some said twelve. Most of the raius fell away to the north of the road, up the river, and came down in a sudden deluge, hence the sur- prise to the officials of the road. The train bearing the body east, on Tues- day, was the first one that got through from the scene of the disaster. The Lawrence dam went out last night, and the whole state is flooded. I am weary, and cannot write more now, and whatever of bungling reci- tal there may be in this letter, please overlook. Of the cause of this, my melancholy errand, the violent and suddcu death of one so young, so amiable, and so promising, and as it were, of my own family, I cannot write. Nine years of most intimate social relations in my home, has fixed so iudellibly upon the minds of my- self and mine, his image and pres- ence, that years alone can gradually wear away our sorrow. I should say here, before closing, that in my personal intercourse with the officers and employes of the road, I have been most kindly treated. A. II. HAMII .TON.

Crooked Whisky and Other Matters During the Milwaukee Whisky War, under the direction of the then Internal Revenue Supervisor Hed- rick, a large amount of illicit liquor was seized at St. Paul, Salt Lake, Dubuque, and many other western points. These goods were shipped from Milwaukee under raised stamps. That is to say the dealers and makers were in collusion with the guagers and other revenue officers at that point, whereby five gallon stamps were raised to do duty on 40 to 60 gallon packages. As soon'aa the char- acter of the fraud was discovered these goods werejordered seized, by telegraph, wherever thoy could be found, and they have all been for- feited to the Government except in certain cases where the exigencies of the squealing era made it appar ently necessary to peddle away the rights of the government. The following extract from a pri- vate letter from Capt. C. P. Brown Internal Revenue Agent, of this city, now attending United States Court at Salt Lake, shows the forfeiture of some of these same goods, the cases having been pending in court Bince the seizure of tho goods in May, 1875 SALT LAKE, May 19,1877. The trial of the first case against sixty-three packages of theRindskopf Milwaukee crooked whisky, closed to day. We have eleaned the thieves out, "horse, foot and dragoons." The jury was out only about half an hour, and came in with a verdict in favor of the Government for the whole lot, The trial lasted two days. A major- ity of the jury were Mormons, good honest looking men, for all that. There is one more case against 574 gallons, set for trial on Monday next The goods forfeited to-day are worth about $4,000. We have had rain and snow for two days, the snow melting as fast as it fell; to-day has been bright and clear, and this mountain valley looks like a section of Paradise, everything isso fresh and green. A New York Ilerald correspondent has been here a few weeks, and has raised some ex- citement by sensational dispatches. I understand from good author- ity, that the Saints are drilling and organizing, but probably not for any offensive motive, The Mormon leaders who arc respon- sible for countless murders, undoubt- edly want to prepare to protect them- selves against the punishment that threatens them at the hands of the l T . S. Attorney, who is an able fear- less man, and is in possession of a large amount of testimony against them. The grand Jury that convenes on the 21st is composed of 12 Gentiles and 3 Mormons and that is what tho head saints are afraid of. There is no doubt but they have been guilty of crimes that would disgrace devils in hell, aud they richly deserve pun- ishment and are afraid it is coming. I am going to try and get home the last of next week. From a Subscriber In Northern Iowa UrPF.nGRovE, Hancock Co. Iowa,? May 21st, 1877. { EDITORS Cm iuek.—Thinking that a word from our part of the country would be interesting, 1 take the lib- erty to write. The farmers are all through seeding and planting. The small grain looks well. We have plenty of grasshoppers and lots of eggs not hatched yet. There is about 1,500 acres of breaking sown to Bmall grain above last year. The farmers seem determined to either raise a large crop or feed the grasshoppers well. Yours respectfully, J. 8. WOW*. Agricultural Items. Maryland and Delaware promiso to produce fifteen million bushels of pcaches this year. Within a radius of ten miles of Lcesburg, Florida, there are now 150,- 000 bearing orange trees. Strawberries and blackberries promise an unusually large crop in California the present season. The cotton worm lias made its ap- pearance in Texas, especially in the vicinity of the Rio Grande. Everything is lovely in Texas. Farmers immigrating and grasshop- pers emigrating in vast numbers. The sour oranges of Florida—a fruit which grows indigenously and most abundantly in that strange peninsula—have at last been utilized in the manufacture of marmalade. In England, it is estimated that there arc 50,000,000 acres of land un- der cultivation, one-fourth of which is manured annually with fifteen tons of manure per acre, making a total of 187,000,000. Many consider that ducks are more profitable than hens for home use, taking into account the number and size of the eggs laid by them. The solid matter and oil in a duck's egg exceeds that of a lien's egg by fully one-fourth. A wealthy farmer of Anderson, Indiana, lost 1,100 bushels of old wheat which he had harbored in the granary for four years. The insects ate the heart out of the grain, render- ing it useless for anvthing but fowl feed. The grasshopper region of Minne- sota, according to the St. Paul Pio- neer Press, has au area of one hun- dred miles in breadth by three hun- dred miles in length. It embraces nearly two-thirds of the State. English breeders use blankets made of silk for horses and cattle, for the prevention and cure of colds, chills and rheumatism. Moths will not touch them, and their warmth, com- fort and lightness render them in- valuable. Miss Emma A. Smith, of Peorin, has been appointed Assistant En- tomologist for Northern Illinois. This'lady has made insects injurious to vegetation a special study, and will visit the northern districts of the State during the summer in the prosecution of her duties. Ilerr Buschman, the most noted cattle dealer in Holland, arrived in the steamship Rotterdam, recently. _IIe weighs ,'!2S pounds. His mission is to speculate in the export trade in American cattle. lie sent 200 head by the steamship Scliotten from New York, laBt week. Texas finds herself burdened with too large a stock of horses, and the papers say that a market or now feeding ground must be found for the vast herds of horses in Western Tex- as. A number of men intend to drive herds of these horses to Kansas, this summer. Prominent European capitalists have been negotiating for some time, and at last successfully, with the Land Commissioners of Florida for $8,000,000 worth of orange lands. They intend to bring into the State 2,000 or 3,000 hardy farmers from England, Germany, France and Italy. The grasshoppers are dying in quantities in some counties in Texas. Upon examination it has been ascer- tained that each dead grasshopper contains a worm, or chrysalis of a worm. It is said that this worm is hatched out of an egg deposited on the grasshopper by a small gray fly. One method which farmers in Northwestern Iowa are adopting to outwit the grasshoppers is to engage largely in the dairy business. They are buying and renting all the cows they can find; and as the'hoppers never touch the wild grass, in this way they can always be sure of one source of revenue. Mr. Bateham estimates that there are in Ohio 150,000 plum trees, of which the counties of Hamilton, Cler- mont, Butler and Warren have 50,000. Another 50,000 are mostly in the county of Ross, tho bulk of which are Shropshire Damson. The planting of plum trees is on the increase in all portions of the northwest. The quality of food from a well- fed apple tree is altogether superior to that of a half-starved tree of the same variety. Very few farmers think it profitable to bring poorly- fed beef to market, and there ought not to be many who think it profita- ble to raise poorly-fed apples. Let us have fat apples as well as fat beef. Feed the apple trees. Top-dress with ashes, muck or barn manure. Apply superphosphates, bone-dust and pot- ash salts.—Lewis/on Journal. special dispatch to the Courier.

In Bretangne, horses are fed on parsnips instead of oats, and no com- plaints are registered as to falling off in condition. Mr. Le liian feeds his horses exclusively on parsnips, and the animals he now exhibits in Paris are superb. lie gives each horse forty pounds of the root daily, dis- tributed in three feeds; the expense of cultivating one hundred weight of parsnips is one franc; so that the daily ration of each horse is about seven sous ; now fourteen pounds of oats a day cost twenty-niuc sous, or four times dearer. Money to Loan and Fire Insurance In sums of $500 and over on im- proved farms, at 9 per cent, interest. Loans of $500 and over, secured by city property, and under $500securod by farm property, will be made at 10 per ccnt. interest. We represent some first-class Fire Insurance companies. d&wly O. M.

JOTTINGS

I* Ittriho

from iMt W*dDr*i\ty1 Daily.

J. C. MrClung, otic of tlio original t CoCHtEH family, to-day paid his 29th ** H ^nmiftl subscription. He tells us that

ke has no fears but that the farmers Will raise an abundance of corn and Wheat, that they will no doubt have plenty for home use and some to •pare.

Ac Kendall was married, in Fair* field, on Thursday last, to Miss Stella Bloss, daughter of W- R. Bloss. The happy couple were in the city yester­day visiting Mr. Kendall's parents-The CorRtER family as well as Az's. tnany friends will wish them unboun­ded happiness and prosperity.

T<ast week the general complaint Was that tho ground was too wet to l>low, and now it is too hard to plow l*retty soon it will be too warm, and between all the complaints Provi­dence, if lie listens to all the prayers, had about as well be the local editor of a daily newspaper.

Messrs. Cook & McOnc, to-day, •hipped eighteen of Robaugh's Little Giant Pumps, on order, to a whole­sale firm in Chicago. They arc crowded with orders) and soon will be compelled to enlarge their facili­ties for manufacturing. They have struck the key note and from a judi­cious investment in printer's ink are reaping a flattering harvest.

Bloomfield had a special election yesterday to decide the much vexed question of beer or no beer. At the recent city election it was supposed that a license ticket had been elected, bnt the alderman in that city prefer­red to let the people speak on the question directlj-, hence the vote of yesterday which resulted in favor of the no beer party by a majority of three. "In the future as in the past," the thirsty denizens of the Hairy Na­tion will come to Ottnmwa to get drunk, and then go home suffering with a sudden attack of vertigo.

From Charley Juukin, of the Fair­field Ledger, we learn that Mary and Albert, daughter ahd son, and Ward Robb, grandson of Joseph Robb, lately deceased, were re-arrcsted on Friday, and lodged in the Jefferson

- county jail on the charge of murder­ing the aforesaid Joseph Robb, some time since, the particulars of which we published soon after the occur­rence.

They were arrested several days ago, but somehow were released and as above stated were arrested again on Friday. Yesterday, the case was called, but owing to the illness of Mary, who, it is supposed, is the per­son most guilty, was continued until Monday, June lltb. Bail for their appearance was fixed at $1,500 each, in default of which they were return­ed to jail. The excitement in the lo­cality where the crime was commit* ted is said to be very great, and the action of the authorities is awaited with considerable interest.

It

The Moultou licporkr hands of the Sheriff.

The Ottumwa Iron Works have entirely remodeled their machine •hop, and have had a general chang­ing around of things. They now have one of the largest and hand­somest offices in the citjr, and arc full of business.. We saw there, this morning, a double hoisting engine of forty horse power, which they have just finished for the Albia Coal Mining Company, that is as nice a piece of workmanship as can be tonnd in the west. Notwithstanding the close times, the Ottumwa Iron Works, is having a good run of bus­iness.

The legal pro­fession have a keener sense of justice than is found in the sacrcd calling."— Western Jurist for May.

Ottumwa Times vs. Ottumwa Times In March last the COURIER stated

that as soon as Spring opened there was a prospect that a good deal of building would be done in Ottumwa, as there were a number of our citi zens contemplating- the erection of good buildings. The constitutional growler who edits the Times, on the 13th of that month, published, what he thought, was the following crush­er :

"The COURIER is again bloviating; it says there will be a large amount of building the coming season. We have made diligent inquiry and can not learn of a single new house con­tracted to be built the coming Spring."—Ottumwa Times, March 13.

Now see what is said in his paper, yesterday.

"Notwithstanding the hard times there will be a great many new busi­ness houses built in this city this sum­mer."—Ottum wa Times, May 22.

Now who is "bloviating?"

A Representative Finn. In our personal reference to busi­

ness houses and business men, wc have thus far omitted the mention of one of the mo3t popular and substantial houses In the city. Wc refer to the wholesale confectionery establish­ment of B. J. Boulton & Bro., which has come to the front rank as one of the most important concerns in the State.

Eighteen years ago B, J. Boulton, a practical mechanic, after surveying all the towns along the Des Moines river, came to the conclusion, which time has verified, that this city would ultimately become the boss town in the State, and fully imbued with that idea ho formed the basis of their pres­ent flourishing business. In June 1859, Ben purchased a small bakery and confectionery concern, which at that time stood where the Iowa Na­tional Bank building now stands, from a German by tho name of Hcidensfel ter, and went to work in earnest. He was one of tho first to open his shop in the morning and the last to leave at night. Ilis business soon began to increase, and au enlargement of his facilities becamo necessary, ho moved across the street to where A. Schmitt is now located, whore more extensive quarters were crcctcdandhc continu­ed to flourish. In 186G the business had increased to such an extent that it was necessary to take a partner, and G. W. Boulton became a member of the firm, sinco which time they have been more than ordinarily successful In 18G0 they commenced wholesaling quite extensively, and five years ago quit the bakery altogether. The ex tensive building now occupied by Schmitt, was built by them, but in a very few years was found altogether too small for their large and rapidly increasing trade. They moved to their present commodious manufac tory two years ago, which it will be remembered was constructed with special reference to their business. It is 50 feet deep and three stories high

They have felt the general financial depression as little, perhaps, as any firm in the city and inform us that their trade is fully equal to their bus­iness of last year.

At present thev carry a large Btock of confectionery principally of their own | manufacture, canned goods of everj- variety, and at present have the most complete stock of fire-works ev­er brought to this part of the country and as they are much choaper than ever before, the boys may safely an­ticipate lots of fun on tho 4th of July.

The manufactory is superintended by the head of the firm in person and no adulterations or impurities are al­lowed to enter into the confectioncry under any circumstances, consequent­ly their goods arc eagerly sought for and sell more readily where they are known than any other brand. G. W, is the purchasing agent and general traveling salesman. By his energy and perseverance the firm of B. J. Boulton& Bro. is well known all over the State and he never secures a cus­tomer but he retains him.

Mrs. Herbert is superintendent of packing and shipping and Miss Al-lic Herbert is book keeper.

We have no hesitancy in saying that the firm is one of the most relia­ble in the state, and entirely worthy of the confidence of tho public.— Should this item meet the eye of any dealer in their line of goods, we would suggest that orders sent to B. J. Boulton &*Bro., will bo promptly filled, at prices that always give satis­faction.

NEW TRIAL GRANTED. — Judge Bloan has granted a new trial in the case of Frank Miller vs. C. B. & Q. Railroad. The application was argued some three weeks ago, at Ke-osauqua, by Stiles & Burton for the C. B. k Q-, and Hendershott and Mc-Nett for Miller. The new hearing will come on at the October term of the Circuit Court.

The new trial, we understand, has been granted on account of a show lag by Messrs. Stiles and Burton that new testimony has been discovered thatis material to doing justice in the case. It will be remembered that at the last terra of court this case was very ably conducted for Miller by

' O'Brien, of Chicago, and Hendershott and McNett, and a« ably defended by Messrs. Stiles & Burton, on the part of the railroad. In the new trial there will, no doubt, be a fctill greater interest excited than there waB in the *nt. .

CO TO TEXAS. We are indebted to R. N. Ilarlan

for a copy of the Houston (Texas) Telegraph of May 20th. We see that business is still lively down there.

One Davidson, of that place, had a fight with three men, cleaned out the trio, and one of them, Wm. Rennick, was seriously stabbed. Bill Little stabbed and attempted to murder a negro in a house of ill-fame. Sam Holland, of Lavaca county, shot and killed Lewis Anderson. Two coun­terfeiters shot and killed Deputy U. S. Marshal, M. It. Green, while try­ing to arrest them in Comanche coun­ty. A gang of outlaws atBrownwood made the sheriff deliver up the jail keys while his head was covered with a revolver, and then • they liberated four of their pals and turned them loose to commit more murders and robberies.

Henry Martin tell from his wagon, was run over and killed a few days ago on Galveston Island. A few years ago his wife died, and he buried her in his hen house without shroud or coffin—just retribution.

A difficulty occurred in Robertson county between two men named AVm. Smith and Spry. Spry not being spry enough for Smith, was killed, and Smith escaped.

A white woman named Anne, liv­ing in the neighborhood of the St. Louis Hotel in Dallas, suicided Thurs­day night by taking morphine. She and her "lover" quarrelled, and in her despair she ended the troubles of this life with the fatal drug.

A beautiful girl deserts her home at Fort Worth to pursue a life of shame.

So wc conclude that Houston and Texas generally, is a lively place, an easy place for a local editor to make a stunning paper, and that the Tel­egraph meets with quick sales and has a large circulation. Daily papers in Texas arc indispensible, or how else could the public keep posted in the rapidly occurring crimes in that State.

A LETTER FROM MAJ. HAMILTON Toi-EK A, May 23, '77.—Courier: In

my last, written from Emporia, on Monday, 1 expected to have reached Sherman's body that day. I did not, however, get away from Emporia until 5 p. in., Tuesday, and met the east-bound train with tho corpse at Florence, which is about 100 miles cast of Ellinwood. I returned from there, arriving here yesterday after­noon. Contrary to what 1 had heard, the body was simply enclosed in an ordinary wooden casket, and in bad condition. I had it taken to an un­dertaker's and put in excellent shape and enclosed in a fine metallic casket, tho railroad company paying all ex­penses, amounting to $290. I saw the body after it had been thoroughly deodorized, and it was easily recog­nizable.

I have not seen nor heard of the Grays sinco I left home. I learned that Byron Clark's injuries, though painful, are in no sense dangerous, and that he would be about soon.

I saw tho baggageman and two other gentlemen who were in the wreck, and talked at length with them. Tho accident occurred be tween 7 and 8 o'clock Friday even­ing, the 18th inst. It was growing dusk, but not dark. The place where it occurred Was an embankment, say fifteen feet high, across a gulch. There was no culvert. The tremen­dous raius had collected a body of water in the gulch, which had risen so as to run over the track, and this had worn away tho embankment down to its full depth, for a space of about a rod. The rails and ties were still lying, almost naturally, across the chasm- -not having fallen in—and so tho engineer was deceived until he got so close upon it that it was impossible to stop in time. The en­gine plunged in, and turned over; a rail went up through the tender, hoisting it and turning it clear over to one side; next, the baggage car dropped into the chasm, and the pas­senger car following telescoped the baggage car. In this car it is sup­posed all the killed—three in number —were sitting. At all events, Sher­man was iu this car, beyond question.

Contrary to what I expected when I learned by telegram the character of his injuries, he was, at least by times, sensible, and conversed with his attendants. I suppose he com­municated to the Grays his wishes, but I have learned nothing about it. He suffered terribly, but all say he bore up with remarkable fortitude. For hours before he died he told those around him that he could not live, though the physicians endeavor­ed to checr him up. The fact is, his head was so terribly crushed that it is wonderful how he lived so long, or that he knew anything. The Grays and Billy Carnes wore in the rear car, and received no injury There were, in all, four passenger cars. Beyond Emporia tho road runs up the valley of the Cottonwood, and the whole valley was under water Even when I went out, on Tuesday, the water, in places, was running over the track, though it had then fallen many feet—1 should say at least six feet, some said twelve. Most of the raius fell away to the north of the road, up the river, and came down in a sudden deluge, hence the sur­prise to the officials of the road. The train bearing the body east, on Tues­day, was the first one that got through from the scene of the disaster. The Lawrence dam went out last night, and the whole state is flooded. I am weary, and cannot write more now, and whatever of bungling reci­tal there may be in this letter, please overlook. Of the cause of this, my melancholy errand, the violent and suddcu death of one so young, so amiable, and so promising, and as it were, of my own family, I cannot write. Nine years of most intimate social relations in my home, has fixed so iudellibly upon the minds of my­self and mine, his image and pres­ence, that years alone can gradually wear away our sorrow.

I should say here, before closing, that in my personal intercourse with the officers and employes of the road, I have been most kindly treated.

Crooked Whisky and Other Matters

During the Milwaukee Whisky War, under the direction of the then Internal Revenue Supervisor Hed­rick, a large amount of illicit liquor was seized at St. Paul, Salt Lake, Dubuque, and many other western points.

These goods were shipped from Milwaukee under raised stamps. That is to say the dealers and makers were in collusion with the guagers and other revenue officers at that point, whereby five gallon stamps were raised to do duty on 40 to 60 gallon packages. As soon'aa the char­acter of the fraud was discovered these goods werejordered seized, by telegraph, wherever thoy could be found, and they have all been for­feited to the Government except in certain cases where the exigencies of the squealing era made it appar ently necessary to peddle away the rights of the government.

The following extract from a pri­vate letter from Capt. C. P. Brown Internal Revenue Agent, of this city, now attending United States Court at Salt Lake, shows the forfeiture of some of these same goods, the cases having been pending in court Bince the seizure of tho goods in May, 1875

SALT LAKE, May 19,1877. The trial of the first case against

sixty-three packages of theRindskopf Milwaukee crooked whisky, closed to day. We have eleaned the thieves out, "horse, foot and dragoons." The jury was out only about half an hour, and came in with a verdict in favor of the Government for the whole lot, The trial lasted two days. A major­ity of the jury were Mormons, good honest looking men, for all that. There is one more case against 574 gallons, set for trial on Monday next The goods forfeited to-day are worth about $4,000.

We have had rain and snow for two days, the snow melting as fast as it fell; to-day has been bright and clear, and this mountain valley looks like a section of Paradise, everything isso fresh and green. A New York Ilerald correspondent has been here a few weeks, and has raised some ex­citement by sensational dispatches.

I understand from good author­ity, that the Saints are drilling and organizing, but probably not for any offensive motive, The Mormon leaders who arc respon­sible for countless murders, undoubt­edly want to prepare to protect them­selves against the punishment that threatens them at the hands of the lT. S. Attorney, who is an able fear­less man, and is in possession of a large amount of testimony against them. The grand Jury that convenes on the 21st is composed of 12 Gentiles and 3 Mormons and that is what tho head saints are afraid of. There is no doubt but they have been guilty of crimes that would disgrace devils in hell, aud they richly deserve pun­ishment and are afraid it is coming. I am going to try and get home the last of next week.

Many consider that ducks are more profitable than hens for home use, taking into account the number and size of the eggs laid by them. The solid matter and oil in a duck's egg exceeds that of a lien's egg by fully one-fourth.

A wealthy farmer of Anderson, Indiana, lost 1,100 bushels of old wheat which he had harbored in the granary for four years. The insects ate the heart out of the grain, render­ing it useless for anvthing but fowl feed.

Texas finds herself burdened with too large a stock of horses, and the papers say that a market or now feeding ground must be found for the vast herds of horses in Western Tex­as. A number of men intend to drive herds of these horses to Kansas, this summer.

Prominent European capitalists have been negotiating for some time, and at last successfully, with the Land Commissioners of Florida for $8,000,000 worth of orange lands. They intend to bring into the State 2,000 or 3,000 hardy farmers from England, Germany, France and Italy.

The grasshoppers are dying in quantities in some counties in Texas. Upon examination it has been ascer­tained that each dead grasshopper contains a worm, or chrysalis of a worm. It is said that this worm is hatched out of an egg deposited on the grasshopper by a small gray fly.

One method which farmers in Northwestern Iowa are adopting to outwit the grasshoppers is to engage largely in the dairy business. They are buying and renting all the cows they can find; and as the'hoppers never touch the wild grass, in this way they can always be sure of one source of revenue.

Mr. Bateham estimates that there are in Ohio 150,000 plum trees, of which the counties of Hamilton, Cler­mont, Butler and Warren have 50,000. Another 50,000 are mostly in the county of Ross, tho bulk of which are Shropshire Damson. The planting of plum trees is on the increase in all portions of the northwest.

The quality of food from a well-fed apple tree is altogether superior to that of a half-starved tree of the same variety. Very few farmers think it profitable to bring poorly-fed beef to market, and there ought not to be many who think it profita­ble to raise poorly-fed apples. Let us have fat apples as well as fat beef. Feed the apple trees. Top-dress with ashes, muck or barn manure. Apply superphosphates, bone-dust and pot­ash salts.—Lewis/on Journal.
