A rear ago to-day shippers were paying 13 to 15 cents per bushel for onions to- 1 davthevare pavim? 40 to 45 cents per bushel. Out in Butler township they have been threshing wheat 23 acres of spring and 20 acres of winter. The former averaged eiaht bushels to the acre, and the winter wheat thirty-one bushels to the acre, andof excellent quality. Here's good news.

Hon. Hugh Thomp son says that out in the northern part of the county a parasite is slaying the chinch bug and the black pests are falling on the ground in the corn fields and dying by millions. Heaven keep that parasite alive and vigorous, and make it fruitful. There was one young man out to Walk er's, Saturday night, that the police didn't get but he almost wishes thev had. He jumped out of a window, and was told to "go south," but he struck off for the north till he fell flat in a hog hole at Duck creek.

He emerged covered with black mud, and wa9 a queer-looking object when he reached his hotel at 3 o'clock in the mornin g. About a hundred Indians men, women and children are in camp on the Wapsie, uear the Kirtley bridge, on the Dubuque road, and yesterday more than five hundred people living in the vicinity went out to see them. They are Musquakas, Geo. L. Davenport's Indians, from Tama county.

They have a hundred ponies with them, which are corralled on Supervisor McCausland's farm. They say they are coming to visit Davenport and the "white- father's island," meaning the arsenal. The Indian missionary, T. Sunrise Dana, a red man himself, lectured in temperance hall, yesterday afternoon, on the Indian question. He denounced the government Indian agents severely as broken down politicians not fit to feed hogs." He said he had rarely known an honest man among them in 18 years.

He laid all the trouble and misfortunes of the Indians to the agents and the whisky, by the use of which the Indians were swindled. A MIDMVnT PILL Adventure! of the Police at Walker-!

And about 11 clock, the Chief, with officers Tilehein, Flint and Heuer went out to ii llu i ii alker or "the farm," to make the ar- rest. me srauonea men at the outside doors, and entered the house.

Beside the two people he was after he cauffht a big party there two Davenporters, four Chicageese, and two Rock Islanders, and five young women The whole company were placed in hacks and brought to the jail. There Mr. Walk er placed $900 in greenbacks in the Sheriff's hands as security for the appear ance of himself, wife and the girls before Justice Kaufraann for trial to-dav, and a city gent put up for the appearance of six of the men who were taken while the Rock Island men got out of the scrape and left for the other side of the river without giving any security, as it was supposed tiiey were bailed, when, come to find out, the bailor didn't know them. Queer names these gents gave Frank Holmes, Harry Johnson, Chas. Scott, Jas.

Sowers, Daniel Barry, Jas. Ferguson, F. Jones and Chas. Ferguson when Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, would have been more like it. The girls wrote themselves as Fanny Evans, Josie Bird, Belle Jackson, Annie Howard and Nellie Plunkett.

Two or three years ago Mrs. Walker was indicted tor keeping a house of ill-fame, and was lined $300, which she paid. Since that time the place has not been disturbed and has had a monopoly, almost, of the shameful business carried on there. All the houses of ill-fame in town had been pulled and I re-pulled until broken up, but this flourished in peace because it wa3 outside the city limits. It was furnished like a palace.

The U. S. Express agent over the river was "confidenced" out of a satchel bv a fellow who described it but didn't have the receipt. Now. another man comes with the receipt and wants the satchel or the value of it, the Rock Islander says.

This is the week of th great Sunday school convention at the lake. Col. Frank Impey, who is the author of the description of Davenport in the New- York Graphic, informs us that his manu script was simply emasculated by the edi tors of that paper in order to accomodate the little modicum of space allowed for a sketch of even one of the firt ities in the West.

News came to-day that D. J.

Thirteen-hundred car-loads of stoue are yet to be shipped this year from the Ana-mosa quaries to the Rock Island Arsenal. This transportation the Davenport Northwestern will now take in hand immediately, through its connection with the branch of the M. St. P.

at Mon-ticello. So trouble in obtaining stone for the island is now ended, so far as the Ana-mosa quarries are concerned, at least. In his sermon on "temperance and politics," last evening, Rev. Dr. Rhea advocated the carrying of temperance into politics, and the formation of a temperance party if neither of the present great parties will take up the cause.

He denounced the present liquor law in strong language as almost useless, and advocated a law which the officers of the law will have to enforce. He would vote for no man for member of the General Assembly who was not a prohibitionist, and if the temperance people would throw off party trammels and do likewise, the politicians would soon be bowing to them. He is radical on the temperance question, is Dr. The drovers arc excited over a mill which has arisen between a couple of their ru-i, ti. life against Henry llanneman; the case was heard by Justice Haufiman this morning, and the defendant was discharged.

Then the same plaintiff charged llanneman with threatening to commit a public offense, and had a warrant issued for re-arrest. The case is yet to be heard. There has leen bad blood between the two for a good while. Did you notice the alarm for the fire this morning? Of course you did if you were in town or within ten miles of it. It was another sample of our method of getting out the firemen.

The Mt. Ida bell struck first, then the Rescue, a mile to the west, then the Hope, a mile to the north: then the other bells set up their din and in about fifteen minutes the water works gong-whistle set up a terrible roar, which set the bell ringers to work again. So the whole city was roused because a $300 fire was blazing beyond the water district. She's intent on becoming a member of the Archery Club that young lady residing on Blank street, under the hill and to that end practices daily with her little bow and arrow. She has already suc ceeded in breaking three panes ot glass in the neighbors' windows, and shooting the hired girl through the frizzes on the forehead.

The neighbors intimate that they will gladly pay her initiation fee if the club will take her in' Mtnniediately and assign her some "sequestered far away from windows and waiting maids, where she can practice. She's a good shot, but the neighbors don't like the targets she selects. The daily Graphicwith its "views of Davenport," has come to hand. And what do you think forms the chief and ccn- tral picture among the ton views on the single page Why, it is that dirty, dingy, rusty, streaked, disgraceful old iron foun- tain in Washington Square. The old eye- sore sets off the page nicely, though, and is made to look like a thing of beauty in its setting of trees and group of figures.

For the rest there is the Burtis opera house, the Academy "of Sciences, Turner Hall, the water works, the cathedral and the Bishop's house, the Congregational church, the city high school, the Library building, the Post Office and the Gazette office in the rear of it. All fair pictures. There are no views of business streets, nor of business buildings, the Gazette property exceptediioThe text of the sketch accompanying the view was prepared by Col. Frank Impey. Take it all-in-all and this Graphic scheme is a splendid advertisement for the Gazette one that will probably pay it well.

Last evening alxmt eight o'clock, a man was seen to fall on the sidewalk at the corner of Fourth and Scott streets as if in a fit. Justice Kauffman, who lives near by, ran over, with others, and found the man rigid and senseless. The sufferer was conveyed to Justice K's house, where Dr. Moetzel worked with him till midnight, before he shows signs of life other than I More Manufactories Khali We Start Tbemt I Editor Democrat; bince all signs now indicate the revival of a long repressed enterprise, thoughtful men interested in the prosperity of Davenport are looking for the particular method by which this city and vicinity can reap the most beno fits; and on every hand the opinion is being voiced that manufactures offer the most feasible and staple means of growth in a way to confer the widest general benefit nd blessings are invoked on their intro- I ducers, Jf forei-ners guch facilities at us for our good, we will soon be outstripped growth by more active rivals. An ancient proverb as true now as in I the past says "The uods helps those who help themselves." Nature God has provided at the very doors of Davenport the means ot makinnr it a ereat manntac- turing city through the use of the river in its rapid fall at this point; and of this -aioiuie is a aiarmu pwi, uvmg cu- Snme.two ears atro I tried to pvcite public attention to this fact by a series of articles lavonng action ot some kind, eith er tri-partite between the United States, I t- J3 .1.

I -n MfveUpon u.e unuc Mater Company, (which company invited our co operation or independent development of the power within our reach) as investiga tion should show best. Not a sentence was published, or, I be lieve, onered by any citizen ot Davenport, questioning the importance of such devel opment to the advantages we enjoyed for the collection ot raw materials and the dis tribution of products to all markets, the attractions of cheap food and general liv ing, a healthy climate and numerous social privileges. Even in private or personal talk, not a point was controverted touching the availability, extent, or per manence ot the desired power, nor ot its great economy for many kinds of manufac turing on a large scale, where even a small percentage of saving is important in its ultimate profit under active competition. Not even a repetition of the stereotyped phrase. "We have not the capital here." This was not true, and yet the subject tell as flatly on the public ear as it it had been proposed to build forges and rolling mills to compete with Pittsburg and t.

Louis For once the opinion ot business men and property holders was unan imous, "it is just wnat we need. what we should have had long ago what we must have if we ever expect to make a large place; but this is not a time for anv enterprise requiring money or faith. Wait till financial solidity is assured, till specie payment is resumed and a rising of business is visible, restoring confidence and re newing hopes of success." Substantially these were the expressed views of the most hopeful; those who were well satisfied that the future extension of Davenport beyond mere ordinary growth, depended on the development of this long- neglected water-wwer. Time has produced or permitted the desired change. The veriest croaker will not deny that the springs for action have been depressed to their lowest jioints, and that the compensating rebound has begun.

Our finances are sound and the condi tion steadily improving. The volume of business is visibly increasing. All over the land manufactories long idle have been started The tide of commerce is rising, agricul ture is becoming remunerative, and money tor really solid enterprises is abundant and cheap. Immigration into Iowa and the. whole Northwest is immense and increasing, en larging the demand for manufactured ar tides.

It is enough to point to Mohne and Minneapo- llo lonnent if dumb: not to name many others lilted trom ob scurity to prominence, or created anew by the developments of the cheapest power attainable till the electric forces are better known. The contrast is great.

These towns have helped themselves we have been calling on others. To-morrow I will close by calling atten tion to a new scheme, or at least a modifi cation, which certainly deserves attention and investigation. I will sav action. W. II.

This city has been using, for the past forty days, the Shepherd Naptlia Light, burning 116 in the suburbs, where the gas mains are not laid. The K. I. P. Railroad have had, for the same period, several burning at their depot to test their practicability for general use at the dif- ferent stations on the road.

We have had the use of some of the lights, and a thor- opinions of the city authorities and rail- road officials, who have investigaged its merits, justifies us in saying that it is the best Naptha light that we have ever seen, well adapted for lighting the streets of cities, railroad depots and private grounds. light is brilliant end equal to gas of about fourteen candle power. As the invention and company are a home institution, congratulate the parties in interest upon their future prospects, as we learn that they anticipate being able to put it into practical use very soon in larger cities.

The aversion to taste and smell of this most efficient and inestimable of laxative and cathartic medicines seems to be universal, not only with children, but with grown-up people. The chemists who could overcome these rauscous properties will ever be looked upon as a public benefactor. This has been fully accomplished by Scott Bowne their Palatable Castor Oil.

He has always been a warm politician, of the Republican sort; but indepenccnt" withal.

Whatever is of any worth in the politics of the State since it became one, may be gleaned from our. friend I A HA I IiKOA FJtOM THE MIITII. Perhaps we are to have another railroad soon from St. Louis, without knowing it. The Burlington Gazette says The "North and South Road which has got as far as Mt.

Pleasant (on paper) manages to keep itself talked about. It is probably an air line, and it is therefore easy to make things "breezy" about the big enterprise. Wapello has now caught the North and Soutli Road infection, we are reliably informed, and is going to send a delegation to Mt. Pleasant early next week to talk. They claim tha't Wapello is the proper point for, crossing the Iowa, aud we presume their mission to Mount Pleasant is to present this fact to the consideration of the projectors of the enterprise.

We are not well advised as to the, game aimed at by this road, but believe that Davenport is the northern objective point, where it will make Minnesota connections, thus making a new competiting line Irom the wheat- fields ot that region to bt. Louis. The line marked out will bo a somewhat devious and patched-up affair. If additional rail road facilities are needed between St. Louis and Minnesota it seems a little curious that the line should be made to circle out from Keokuk via Mt.

Pleasant to Davenport. The connection is as good from Keokuk to Burlington as it is from Keo kuk to St. Louis, and it being nearer from Burlington to Davenport than it is from int. Pleasant to the same place, it is hard to understand why the ramshorn deflection should be made from Keokuk through Henry county. Very light grading would be required under the bluffs from Burlington northward, the length of the line would be greatly shortened, and conse-ouently the cost of connection Davenport, would be largely mluced.

The country along this line is quite as rich and productive as around the horn via Mt. Pleasant, and would probably give the project as much substantial encouragement. What think the B. the people of Burlington, and the people along tho line from Burlington to Davenport direct? It occurs to us that there is fruit in the scheme. TO DAY'S ADVERTISEMENTS ST.

About hlf a mil northeast of the eastern city limits, oa the river lies historic ground. brick cottage and Urge farm buildings occupy the site of the headquarters of General Scott in the snm merof 1832. As General-in-cbief of the.

United States army, he had come to Fort Armstrong to conduct a treaty with Keokuk and Blackhawk; the cholera broke out among the troops in the Fort, and so General Scott mored across and up the rirer to the place above designated, and camped there. It was a lovely place for a camp the Husiasippi River in front and rich scenery on every hand. Just at at the base of a small clifL and near the water 's edge, was a spring of pure, cool water, which yet flows as freely and coolly as it did when the great General dnttfk from it. The spring was the cause of the location of the camp at the place, and the pathway which the soldiers made to it still offers an easy descent to it. The farm house which stands right where General Scott's marquee was pitched is th residence of Mr.

J. C. Farley, and the farm of two hundred acres "the Wat kins farm," is one of the finest dairy and stock farms in eastern Iowa. It is well worth seeing, for the system that governs everything as well as for the beauty of the "lay of the land' and the surrounding scenery. One of the first objects that meets the eye, on reaching the front meadow, is tiie great hay barn, 200 feet long and 32 wide, which contains 250 tons of hay, and there are 38 tons in another barn.

All this liar was cut this season from 150 acres. You may see the great Norman Earl and Success, who have received first premiums at our own and many other fairs, hauling "top dressing1 to the meadows great loads of the heavy stuff, yet walking off with them as though they were a light buggy. There are 21 head of horses Jnd colts on this farm. The cow barn is a sight; in it 4 cows are milked twice every day, and then given the freedom of the tresh meadows. There are G2 head of cows anil heifers on the place.

All are Jerseys and grade short-norns the former for their cream and the butter that conies from it, and the latter for their milk. The Jersey bull Granger, stalks alout in his pride, the king of the herd. There is some attention paid to sheep raising on the lace, but not extensively. But the dairy It is a spectacle for a city chap! The milk is placed in Cooley's portable creamers, the cans are suck in water which is kept uniform in temperature; there are glass slits in the cans, through which you may sec the cream, and it gathers on the top Jice inchet thick! The cream is poured into a huge rectangular churn, which is revolved by dog power, and 60 xunds of butter are churned at once! A wind mill works a pump which supplies the creamery with cool water from a never failing well, and at the same time works another pump which sends a stream of good water through the drinking troughs in the stock yard. Twice a day, Mr.

Farley sends his milk wagons to the city, with the ricfi milk from the short-horns. No slops are fed these cattle only hay and the vegetables that make milk. Pure milk is guaranteed to every patron.

A bright illumination over the extreme northeast portion of the city caused a tre-menduus uproar in the heart ot the town between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning.

Several small barns and little frame sheds aud a broom factory were blazing. The fire commenced in Hans Riecks barn, and broke out half an hour after a farmer had left it with his team to go home in the country. The flames reached across the alley to Peter Petersen's barn and broom shop, and also Mrs. Holab's barn, and reduced all the frames to ashes in short order. Two pigs were burned to death in a shed of Kieck.

The losses are not heavy and are all nearly covered by insurance. Rieck's barn and shed cost 100, the former was insured for $50 and the latter for $10 with Plambeck Messner in the Ilawkeye; Petersen's shop was insured with Mr. Miles in the Etna for $30, the machinery (most of which was saved) for $30. Mr. P.

had $50 worth of broom-corn and broom-handles on which was insurance for barn was worth $50 and was insured for $23 in the Ilawkeye. The losses foot up to between $300 and $400 and the insurance $315. The Mt. Ida's were the firt to arrive at the fire, but it was outside the water districts, and they could do nothing until the Pilots and the Fire Kings came up when the three stretched hose from a distant fire plug. The water was turned on and off flew the Mt.

Ida's coupling at the hydrant. That ended the firemen's efforts and soon a thunder storm ended the fire and drenched the firemen. The Kings, Itescues, Pilots and Mt. Idas had a weary pull up and down the hills through a half foot of mud on their way home. THEIR MBADE AX1 THEIK SHOH We have the Megathcrians to-morrow, mid-day and evening.

Tho proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever of fered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure of Ague and Fever or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long tanding. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that ia no case whatever will it fall to cure if the directions are atrlctly followed and carried out. In a great many case a single dote has been sufficient for a euro, and whole families have been cured by. a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It ia, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, I its nse ia continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more espec tally in difficult and long standing cases.

Usually hie medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patent, however, require cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL'S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient The genuine SMITH'S TONIC SYBUP must have DR. JOHN BULL'S private stamp on each bottle. DR. JOHN BULL only has the right to manufacture and sell the original JOHN J.

SMITH'S TONIC SYRUP, of Louisville, Ky. Examine well the label on each bottle. If my private tamp is not on each bottle, do not purchase, oi yon will be deceived. DR. JOHN BULL, Manufacturer and Vendor of Nitiith's Tonic Sprnp, Ball's Sarsaparilla, Bull's Worm Destroyer.
