Hon.

W. G. Donnan, of IndepemU ence, was stricken with congestion of the brain while attending church Sunday morning. He suddenly toppled over in bis seat, causing some commotion, but was removed to an adjoining room. Restoratives were promptly applied and at last accounts he was re-coveting, though for a time his life was despaired of.

Proceedings have been lustltuted at Fort Dodjre by the trustee for the bondholders for the foreclosing of a $50,000 mortgage on the Fort Dodge Coal Company. Most of the bondholders live in Chicago. The company owns several thousand acres of mineral lands, runs two mines, employs 4o) men and does an immense business through northern Iowa and in Nebraska. A sensational case was tried at Orange City lately. Two religious doctors, who practice "Christian Science," were arrested, accused of practicing medicine without a permit from the State board of medical examiners.

The other railroads are following the same plan. On Wednesday the following circular was Issued by the C. It.

A N. R'y: "This to give notice that taking effect Feb. 18, 1889, unless otherwise advised, all tariffs, either joint or local, governing trallic between points both of hich are within the State of Iowa, will bo cancelled and made void. In view of the decision of Judge Brewer.ln all probability this company will issue a distance tariff for Iowa, in conformity with the Commissioners' taritf, of which action you will be advised at the earliest possible moment." Mr. C.

D. Ives, the General Freight ageut of the C. R. stated that they were carefully comparing the business of last summer and fall on the basis of the Commissioners' rates. "In this way," lie said, "we shall get at the percentage of decrease, under the new rates, and shall then be able to adapt the expenses of the road to its smaller income.

Bo far as we have progressed, the drop in rates is about 30 per cent." The commissioners are to meet today to classify the roads and it is expected the C. R. X. will be rated in the third class. General Manager Jeffrey was in Dubuque last Tuesday and in an interview in regard to the effect of Judge Brewer's decision on the Illinois Central's Iowa lines, said.

"I have not yet read the decision in full so am hardly competent to express my opinion. Iowa roads should put into force the revised schedules of the commissioners. Our company will do so at once. We have the tariffs already printed und ready to promulgate, so that there will be no unueces-sarjidelay in the 1). S.

C. Company putting them into force upon its lines. It will be a blow to the revenues of the company, but we recognize the fact that laws must be obeyed and if they are found to be oppressive, relief should be sought at the hands of the properly constituted authorities." 1 "Just what effect it will have upon the revenues of your company?" "It will decrease the local revenues of the 1). 8. C.

company's Iowa lines from 25 to per and will not increase the tonnage or trallic moved; therefore, there is no hope of increased volume, because of the largely reduced rates. So much corn and so much grain are raised each year; so much stock and hogs produced, and so much merchandise consumed and these will not be materially affected in volume by the lower rates to be put into force. So the effect will be to deprive the railway which now barely pays its interest and operative expenses, of even a chance for obtaining a small margin of prolits for its stockholders. But, as I said before, the law must be obeyed and the president and directors of the Illinois Central Company are respecters and observers of the law, when they understand it." The Mayor's Message. May we be pardoned for requesting the mayor to incorporate in bis next message the fact that many of our most prominent citizens have been cured of rheumatism, neuralgia and kindred complaints, by Salvation Oil, and that he recommend this valuable medicine to be kept in every family.

W. RICHARDS, City Editok. Local und Miscellaneous Items, Waterloo, Iowa, February 13, 1880. JHank Book and Diaries for 1889, at Wanoler A girl, only 12 years of age, was received last week as a patient at the insane hospital at Independence, We learn that Rev. W.

Frank I'ax-ton has recovered from the attack of paralysis with which he has been suffering, and has returned from Chicago. Jay Gould's wonderful new yacht will, it is said, be most completely and elegantly furnished. Among other useful and indispensable things ordered for it was a box of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. The mother of Rev.

Dr. Rhea, formerly of this city, died at her home in Washington Arkansas, Jan. 28. She was nearly 81) years of age and was buried near the old homestead where she settled 59 years ago. The Cedar Falls Gazette of last Fri day says that the revival meetings in the Methodist church In that city are increasing in interest.

Up to last Friday the number of seekers was 300, of whom 100 have joined the church. Revival services have also begun at the Baptist church. Ice is now being shipped from four points on the C. li. X.

to St. Louis Spirit Lake, Rockford, Cedar Falls and Nora Junction. Xeaily a hundred cars a day are being sent south from these points. The ice is of superior quality, most of it being from 20 to 28 inches in thickness. 1 A paper is going the rounds about a girl dying from tight lacing.

An editor commenting on the fact, says: The corsets should be done away with and if the girls can't live without being squeezed, we suppose men could be found who would sacrifice themselves. As old as we are, we would rather devote three hours a day, without a farthing of pay, as a brevet corset, than see these girls dying off in that manner. Ollice hours, almost any time. An Interesting suit was tried in the district court at Independence last week. A.

1. Ward sued II. O. Mark-ham for $05 for services rendered in obtaining the position of druggist in the hospital for the insane for the defendant's son. The defendant alleged that the obtaining of a public position for another was against public policy and the contract should be held to be void.

The jury, after four hours' consideration, returned a verdict for plaintiff. An Octonarian. On Feb. 9, 1889, Mrs. Harvey Childs celebrated her 81st birthday at the residence of ber son, Hon.

E. S. Childs, of the First ward, with whom she is living. Among the pleasant reminders of the occasion, she received books of Bible quotations and psalms, but the present she prized most highly was a basket of cut flowers from her son, E. and wife.

It certainly was a beauty and reflects much credit upon our florist, Mr. Owen Crittenden, who got it up to order. Denny Gould has returned from a visit to John Wheeler at his Sioux City home and reports that the hardy old engineer has doubtless made his last ma. His physicians despair of his recovery and though he should partially recover, his hand and eye will have lost their old time steadiness and his cab can know him no more forever. Engineer Wheeler is with one exception the oldest inhabitant of a cab on the Illinois Central's Iowa lines and is the veteran of the western division.

His many friends along the line will learn of his barsb ultimatum with genuine regret. Fort Dodge Messenger. Jury Lists. GRAND JCKY FOR 1889. John Ilobson l'oyner John Eickelberg.

IFE that they were called to the residence of Alexander Gilmer, a farmer living near Ireton, in Sioux county, who was dangerously ill and had been an Invalid for twenty-five years.

They did nothing except to pray for the sick man. After two days' treatment in that manner the afllicted man was well and able to go to work. The case excited great interest, as both of the defendants are considered good citizens and christian gentlemen. They were prosecuted by the county attorney and defended by G. W.

Argo, of LeMars, who won renown in the Haddock case. The judge instructed the jury to return a verdict for the defendants, remarking that under the laws of Iowa it is no crime for a person to pray for his afflicted neighbor. News of a strange deed comes from Lowell. A German farmer named Ferdinand Beyer, four miles from that town, had shown sig is of insanity for some time, but no steps had been taken in the matter by his friends or the authorities until the night of Feb. 1, when he became so unmanageable that some of the neighbors were called in to take care of him.

They watched him all nigjit. Late Sunday evening he left the bouse. Near the middle of the night Mrs. Beyer was startled from her slumber thinking she heard her husband hulloa, and at the same time she discovered the house to be on fire. She alarmed the family, and Charles, the oldest boy, opened the door and discovering the barn on fire, he ran to the barn in his night clothes, thinking he might save the horses, but found the horses had been taken out and tied to soma trees near by.

Nearly every thing in both the bouse, and barn was burn id, leaving the family destitute. It was thought that Beyer had fired the house and barn, and evidently intended the family to perish in the flames. Nothing was seen of him un til a search was made next day by the neighbors, when he was found hang lng against the side of a tree, suspend ed by a rope, being about forty rods from where the house stood. The cor oner was notified and at once empari' nelled a jury, who returned a verdict that the deceased "came to his death by his own band by hanging himself by the neck with a rope." One Minute.

LjI tLll 'There is in every town a set of men called "pickers," who, in every grocery store they enter, are looking out for good things to eat and helping themselves, 'without money and with out If a boy hooks a water melon they are clamorous for bis prompt punishment, while they them selves, in ineffable self-complacency, devour ten times the worth of a melon each year and would be shocked be yond measure ir any one should accuse them of 'booking' the sweets. To the ordinary observer the only difference in the two oltenses is, that In one case the offense is surreptitious, in the other it is defiant and bold, with a 'what are you going to do about air. The habit is a disgraceful one and with most men grows up uncon sciously, at least making them general nuisances.

Everybody knows them and to miminize the losses from their operations many merchants cover with wire sereeris the goods these fellows most effect. It is just as proper to take money from a man's till as it is to take candy or nuts from cases." Ilinildis on the Weather. "Many people," says Director Gus- tavus llinrichs, of the Iowa weather service, in his latest bulletin, "expect six weeks of cloudy, cold because Feb. 2 was so bright and snnny mat tne ground hog must have seen his shadow. It may not be amiss to state the fact, that for example, the 2d of February, 1882, was cloudless throughout Iowa and that the entire month of February, 1882, was the brightest and warmest February on record.

It is strange that the ground hog and astrology still occupy bo large a share of the attention of a people proud of its educational position." director ninricns notes the confirmation of his prediction of a mild Janu ary, and continues it for February and March. "January, 1889," says the bulletin, "was warm and decidedly fine, westerly winds prevailing. Precipitation was normal in amount, and mainly in the form of rain. The mean temperature of the air was nearly 5 degrees above normal. During the six years just preceding, January has been from 6 to degrees below normal, forming the coldest series on record for the State and the upper Mississippi valley; the mean of the preceding six Januaries ia more than ten degrees below normal.

Consequently the month of January just closed was nearly fifteen degrees above the average of the same month of the preceding six years, from 1883 to 1888, both inclusive. For this season our people have properly considered the month much warmer than it really was. January, 1880, was over ten degrees warmer than the month just closed; it was the warmest January on record, i. e. for the past fifty years.

Since 18C0, January has been five times as warm or warmer than this year, namely, in 1880, '78, '70, '09 and '03, averaging once in four years. At the central station the thermometer decended but once to zero (on the 21st) while in January, 1888, it ranged con siderably Deiow zero on 23 days.
