MCircuit Court is also true of Judge Knapp's Court There must be some remedy for this. A few years ago, absolute necessity gave birth fo the Circuit Court, and now in portions of the State an equal necessity is upon us to provide more court facilities. It appears clear to us that at the next session of the Legislature there ought to be passed a law absolutely eatab-

'fishing an additional court, say in the cities of ten thousand people or over. The present legislation pro-

a,... . jj, viding for a vote of the people in i fact to make law, or at least to give

'&• i vita4 ity to a statute, is of very ques­tionable constitutionality at best, and we believe wholly unnecessary and uncalled for in making provision for the additional court referred to.

New Way of Collecting Debte. Down at Eldon they have peculiar

methods of doing business in some rcspccts, the most singular, perhaps, being their system of collecting debts when the law is powerless to enforce the claims of justicc.

In that town, as tho story goes, there .lives a man who became in­debted to a poor widow woman for a sum of money which was quite im­portant to lier and could have easily been paid by him, but ho refused and the law being powerless, the friends of the widow undertook to relieve her distress and collcct the bill.

At the hour of midnight a party of people gathered at the home of the man, called him out and started with him for the river where they inform­ed him that lie had but a few mo. mcnts in which to say liis prayers, bccausc they intended to drown him, for the reason that ho would not pay the widow. He thought tho matter was only a joke until they threw him in the river once, head over lieels. The bath, together with the forbid­ding looks of his captors, induced liim to open negotiations, and lie of­fered $15 to be let alone, which he de­clared was all the money he had.

But few words were exchanged lrayond informing him that the story was too gauzy, and down lie went the second time.

Half strangled to death lie increas­ed his offer a few dollars, but not enough to suit the party, and in went the fellow again.

When he reached dry ground the third time he was nearly frozen to death, but said he did not have nion cy enough to pay the bill if it was to save his life.

When tho rope was placed around his ncckand one of the party attach­ed a stone to the other end the mat­ter was becoming serious and lie squealed—paid all the money lie had and hypothecated a valuable watch for the balance, and he was^ allowed to go home.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

Two Persons Badly Hurt. This afternoon the train on the

Central railroad run into a wagon at the foot of Wapello street,and serious­ly injured the occupants, Mr. Abra­ham Young and his soUo, a boy about 11 years of age.

Mr. Young had business at Mr. Lnnuue's mill, and was sitting ill bis wagon in front of the mill, when a train came down on flic C. B. & <}. road, which seemed to make it nec­essary for him to head his horses to­ward the city. The team started on a jump, and got across the Valley track just in time for the pilot to strike flic wagon behind the hub of the fore wheels, smashing the wagon to pciccs and carrying the man nnd boy a short distance on the pilot and turning them over into the ditch. The man is hurt considerably about the hips and head aud the boy is also severely hurt about the head and shoulders.

They were taken into the mill and a physician sent for. It is not sup­posed that their wounds are necessar ily fatal aud perhaps may not dis able them for any length of time. Tho Valley railroad runs close to the mill, and in turning between tho tracks he could not sec a train on the road, coming from the west, and there being a train on the other track he could not tell the dif­ference in sound. Ho was fortunate in escaping as well as he did.—Daily

A Crusade Opened. We understand that some of the

citizens of Oskaloosa,both male and female, made a raid on the United States express office, in that place, yesterday, and seized twenty-nine or thirty packages supposed to contain liijuor. Tho packages were removed to the City Hall, where they were placed in the care of a guard. Ot­tumwa, Burlington, Keokuk, Daven­port and Marshalltown dealers are interested in these goods, and what will become of the matter remains to be seen.

The Ilawl -F.ye says that: "All of the C., B. & (J. passenger

locomotives and passenger cars are equipped with steam air brakes. It costs $.">00 to apply them to a locomo­tive, $250 for carh car, and the com­pany lias fo pay a royalty besides. Westinghouse,thc inventor, is a Pitts­burg, l'a., man, and has made n tine thing out of his valuable invention.

"It costs something to equip sucli a jrcat road for the safety and convcn-ence of the traveling public. And

the public often forget the immense expenditures the road is obliged to make even while in the actual enjoy­ment of the luxuries. But the C., B. & (J. halts at nothing that will add to the comfort or safely of its passen­gers.

That is all true, and we are as proud of the C., B. & Q. railroad as any body, and we think the people of Ot­tumwa almost to a man have an equally good opinion. An Ottumwa boy, by worth and work, has ascend­ed the line of promotion, until at present he is the energetic, intelligent and highly resgectcd Superintendent of the Iowa Division, a position he fills with distinguished ability, but we submit that this great corporation would further accommodate their friends in this city, if theyjwould do-vise some way by which women and children could be protected from the storm while waiting for trains. Wo ars satisfied that neither Mr. Potter or Mr. Strong fully understand the situation, owing to the fact that they arc here but seldom, or some change for the better would be madc.-

The trustees of the Agricultural College have determined to start an Experimental Kitchen, which is de­signed to train the girls attending tlio College in the neglected science of cookery. Tho Stale Register says: If this Kitchen is to be under chargc of Mrs. Welch, as we understand it is to be, we feel there can be no doubt of its usefulness or its success, Mrs. W. has peculiarly good" qualifi­cations for this very difficult work, boing herself one of tho most exper­ienced and deft of women in the graceful arts of the household and home. Tho Trustees of the College have done wisely, we think, iu ad' ding this important feature fo the curiculum.

NEW BUILDINGS We have been shown (he jtlans of

tho following building, to be erected here this spring. Mr. Chas. D. Wat-kins architect and general superin­tendent :

An elegant suburban residence for John It. Shepherd, just north of the city limits, with all the modern im­provements. Gilbert has the wood work and Macoy furnishes the mate­rial.

For Capt. T. Egan, a stylish frame residence 30x53, two stories high with all the modern improvements, includ­ing bath room, steam heating apara-tns etc. It will be built on his lot ad­joining Godley's. Emery has the carpenter work and Macoy furnishes the material. It will be something after the style of Alderman Boulton'* new house.

Also for insurance agent, Geo. A. Brown, a fine house on the first lot north of Lawyer McNctts. It Will be about the same size as Egau's and is now enclosed. T. J. Hall has the entire contract.

Mr. Watkins has also furnished the plans for a fine residence for Alois Schaffer which is to be erected on one of those beautiful Main St. lots just beyond P. C. Daum's. It is to be some 38x i8 feet containing 9 rooms. G. A. Itocmer has the entire contract.

While thctimesare unquestionably hard, it is probable that a large amount of bnilding and improve­ments will be done this year, owing to the low price of material. But me­chanics from abroad need not come here for work as the market is more than fully supplied.

Mr. Watkins has tho contract to build the stairs in all the foregoing buildings.

Suicide-Wo regret to learn that Samuel

Tate, the genial, widely known, and popular clerk of the Patterson House, of Keokuk, committed suicide Wedn­esday, by shooting himself through the temple with a pistol. Sain Tate was one of the most genial gentlemen you ever met, always in a pleasant mood with a kind word nnd pleas­ant smile for every guest of the house, many of whom will read this an­nouncement with sad regret. There was no cause for the rash act as far as was known when the train left this morning. We arc informed, howevcr; that he has been drinking to some excess lately, and b _ " un­able to break off from the terrible habit, it is supposed that he committ­ed the rash act while laboring under momentary delirium, although it seems that he made liis toilet with unusual care and before firing the fatal shot locked the door, placed his room to rights, pulled the trigger and crossed the river.

Mr. Tate was well known all over the country, and his sad demise will be sincerely regretted.

In his Boston lecture, Col. Ingersoll expressed his firm hostility to any an­nexation of islands to the United States. Said he: "I recollect when they were talking about San Domin­go, I said, 'Wc don't want iL' They said, 'You never saw such a climate. 'Well,' said I, 'wa don't, want it.' 'Why,' said they. 'It don't raise good folks. You take 5,000 preachers from New England, and 5,000 professors from onr colleges, and all the ruling elders with their families, aud put tliein iu San Domingo, nnd the next generation you will sec them bare­back on a mnlo, the liair sticking' out of the backs of their hats, with a rooster under each arm, going to a cock-fight on Sunday."

Mr. Irwin Combe, of East Des Molnee, Attempts to Take His Own Life Saturday night about eight o'clock,

Irwin N. Combs, a man in East Des Moines, made a rather novel attempt to end liis existence. Combs is a man of family, and lives on Buchanan street, between Thirteenth and Four­teenth streets. For some days past lie has been on a prolonged spree, drinking heavily ana continually, lie says that while drunk he was drugged, and that this had the effect to make him partially demented. Others say that continued drinking lias had the cll'ect to make him crazy. For some time he has been rather worthless, do­ing scarcely anything at his trade, while his wife has been working all the time to support the family, which consists of four children. She has labored faithfully and well to pro vide for the wants of the little ones while lier husband has been lazily idle and has been regularly on hand to partake of the food which the in­dustry of his wife had provided.

He has been more or less out of his mind, but during the last week was worse than usual, lie imagined all sorts of things. Saturday night lie went out into the yard, and seeing two men coming up the street he thought they were going to hang him.

Thoroughly believing this, and thinking to rob them of their victim, the crazy fellow seized a hatchet lay­ing handy, rushed out in the yard and commenced pounding himself with flic pole of the liatelict lie struck with all his force, striking the top of his head eight times, and cutting the skin to the bone. He was just in the act of raising the hatchet to strike himself with tho sharp edge, when his wife caught his arm and prevent cd the act. She called in assistance and the would-be suicide was taken into the house and eared for. The man has to be watched now, for if left *o himself he would immediately take liis own life. Tho idea that some body is going to kill him seems to be the uppermost idea in his disordered mind, and consequently he desires to kill himself to prevent others from doing it.—Stale Register.

The Singer Co. Adopt the Johnston Ruffler.

"We fire pleased to learn that the Singer Company have adopted the •Tolmslon Jtuflier, they having very recently perfected arrangements with Messrs. C. W. Handy & Co., of this city—(hoy being agents for the John­ston llufllcr Co., ol' Ottumwa, Iowa, whereby these excellent rufllcra are to be placed in the hands of the Com­pany's numerous agents throughout the civilized world. From the fact that dealers sell about ten of these ruff-lers to one of any other, proves them to be the standard rufllcr of the world. —Sewing M<ichine,Tou»-»*ti, IT. 1T.

Albert J. Hirst, late a fireman on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road, is credited with the perform­ance of a brave act on last Saturday, lie was going east over the Michigan Central, and was seated by the side of the engineer. Shortly after the train left Buffalo station they noticed that a four year old child had fallen across the track a few rods ahead of the locomotive. Hirst bounded thro' the window and ran along side of the boiler to the pilot or cow-catcher. As the child waB staggering to its feet Hirst reached forward and lifted it literally "out of the jaws of death." The wrench on the muscles of his hand was so great that lie has carried his arm in a sling ever since. The child was frightened nearly to death, but was otherwise uninjured.

MA H K TWAIN 'S Nkw HOOK.—"THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWVKK," IS the title of a new book by Mark Twain, aud is so different from the so-called "funny books" of the humorists that it is really enjoyable to all intelligent readers who have a vivid remem­brance of their "bad boy" days, and the inevitable scrapes through which they have passed. Tho "good boys'' arc mostly to be found in Sunday-school books rather than on the benches, and mostly die young. We have all been "Tom Sawyers," more or less, and we must expect our boys to be overllowing with fun, frolic and mischief if we ever expect them to be active, energetic and self-reliant men. It is a most original, unique, piquant aud entertaining book, tirst published in England, where it has been received with an outburst _ of enthusiastic praise. From beginning to end the pages of "Tom Sawyer" are replete with lively sallies, humor­ous ideas and scathing hits. Tom, Aunt Polly, Huckleberry Finn, Becky Thatcher, Joe Harper, Injin Joe, and others arc active, original characters, who manage to keep their little world lively and stirring, and inevi­tably draw the reader within the vor­tex. The illustrations arc superb, aud, taken all in all, the book is an incomparable one.

Mr. C. S. Troxell is now canvassing the city for this inexpressibly humor­ous book, and will furnish it to sub­scribers for the very low price of $2.75, bound in cloth, gilt, library style $3,75 and $4.25 half morocco.

A Texas paper wants to trade off lawyers at the rate of forty for one northern farmer. But it says the farmer must be an early-rising, hard­working, good-managing man. If you want to be in stylo yon will

wear an amethyst ring on the third finger of the left had. Also cough sadly now and then, as if you were the last of an illustrious family.— De troit Free Press.

Rev. Mrs. Thabo Ilanaford's head has been felt of by a phrenologist, and ho says that the sister's bump of veneration is enormously spread all over her head. This must save the lady a great deal of expense in putl-combs for her hair.

"Beer unites with tho fluids of tho stomach and forms a regular article of felt goods," remarked a temperance scientist to a German citizen the oth­er day. "Ya, ya dot ish so," was the earnest reply, "dot beer vas make a man felt goot's never vas."

Mr. Moody is authority for the statement, not elsewhere recorded that Daniel in the lion's den slept calmly with his head on one of the lions for a pillow. Mr. Moody for got to say whether the holy man had a crick in his neck in the morning.

When asked by a young man who contemplated emigration what he thought of Texas as a'place of resi dence, old Ben. Wade flew intoafu rious rage and shouted : "If I owned Texas and llell, I would not hesitate to rent Texas and live in the other place."

Statistics go to show that man may gamble as a profession, right along for ten years, when it will be found that, beside making a thief of him and putting him on the road to the penitentiary, he will have earned less money than any quiet-working me chanic.

A Frenchman has discovered that human hair can be transplanted, and bald-headed men can become reason ably hirsute by the process. It, how ever, requires more skill than land scape gardening, and only very rich men can stand the expense.

While we arc erecting tombstones over dead martyrs and placing laurel wreaths over the brows of living heroes, don't let us forget to drop a tear on the grave of the man who conceived the idea of putting a pota­to on the shout of a kcroscno can.

About a year ago a noted horse-thief uaincd McFarren was captured in Indiana for shooting an officer in Woodbury county, while attempting his arrest for horse-stealing. For want of evidence lie was released on­ly to fall into the hands of the Fre­mont county Shkrifl', charged with horse-stealing. lie escaped from the jail of that county and went to Jack­son county, Mo., and, with an accom­plice, secreted himself in the timber­ed bottoms. A few days ago an offi­cer went to arrest him for an attempt to shoot an officer in Kansas City, when he <inickly drew a revolver and shot the officer dead. The people turned out and surrounded tho two and captured them, and McFarren is in jail at Kansas City, with a fair pros­pect of getting justicc at the rope's end.

A minister was telling a young girl who was about to become a bride that she must remember that the man and wife arc one. "Lord," said she. "if you were under rny fa­ther and mother's window when they are (juarreling you'd think there were at least a dozen."

"Ma, what is tho meaning of'lank-er,"' said Fanny, on her return from Sunday school. "'What,, Fanny!''said mamma. "Why 'lanker;wc sing at Sunday school,'We'll stand the storm it won't bo long, we 'lanker by aud by.'" Singers, speak plainly and cor­rectly.

Pore Ilyacinthc was a few days ngo stopped on the street in Geneva by a woman of rank who abused him most violently, nnd, woman-like got all the more angry when he refused to an­swer. "Madame," said the ex-priest, politely, "respect is due to women aud pity to fools," and he went4on his way tranquilly.

lie was sitting silently by her side one chilly evening last autumn, think­ing of something to say. Fiually, he remarked : "How sad it is, the frost has conic, and it will kill everything green." Thereupon, the young lady extended her hand, and said in a sympathetic tone, "Good-bye."

An old chap being reproached by his prospective mothcr-iu-law that he was oven bald-headed, replied : "Mad­am, baldness is no indication of my age—it runs in tho family. In fact, madam," said ho in a sudden gusli of confidence, "I was born bald-licad-ed."

Advertising is a good thing, but when a prominent grocer carried to a funeral an umbrella on which was painted conspicuously the business of his house, and held it oyer the preacher's head while he read his prayers, the bystanders thought he was runuing thing into the ground.

At Independence, Mo., a young and beautiful girl stepped into a book store asked a youthful clerk: "Have you Helen's Babies?" "No!" an­swered the youth, looking wildly about; "has she lost them ?" It re­quired the united efforts of two old women and a nurse girl present to explain matters.

A lady, whose cook went to a wake was given notice by her, a fortnight afterward, that she was going to be married. "Who to asked the mis­tress. "Please, ma'am, to tho husband of the corpse." "Why, docs he love you ?" was the next question. "Oh, yes, ma'am ; he said 1" was tho light of tho funeral." . "Often, often," says Mrs. Van Colt, "even now the devil comes to me and tempts me to evil thoughts." Well, it's natural; she isn't to.blame for it. When she stands on the platform in the blaze of the chandelier, and a scrawny sinner lopes up tho center aisle, she can't help saying softly to herself "If—I looked—like fhat—wo­man—I'd pad."

"Is this Kansas City ?" asked one passenger of another on a railroad train one dark night, not long ago. "I'll tell you in a moment," was the response. Then he threw up the win­dow, took a good snuff, and drawing in his head aud holding his nose quiet­ly answered, "Yes this is Kansas City!" That traveller evidently had an acute sense of smell.

A Minonk merchant had made an entry on his books that puzzled all his clerks and bookkeepers. Finally they gave it up aud railed in the neighbors. They Wrestled with it in dismay, and all hands agreed to wait until the proprietor came home. He was shown the cabalistic marks, and solved tho riddle at once. "That's blainc; d-u-g-g—duck. Vat is te matter vid him." And they all agreed that it was plain enough when you came to look at it close.—El Paso (III.) Journal.
