Revised Statutes, in relatioh to the suppression of the traffic in intoxicating liquois. By the act of Feb. 18, 1852, it was made a crime punishable by line and imprisonment, to sell liquors to Indians under the care of a supciinteiident or agent, whether on or -jf their reservations alid the constitu tionality of this law was affirmed by the Supreme Court in 1865. On the revision Of the laws 'of 1W8-74 this law was changed so that its penalties could onlv apply to persons fonnd guilty of selling liquor to Iudiaus on tlioir reservations but an net, approved Feb. 27. 1877, (U. 8. Statutes, vol. 19, page 244,(restores the provisions of the law of 1862 by striking out of section 2139 the words ''except to an Indian, in the, Indian ro'intry," so that persons who now engage in the liq uor traffic with Indians, no matter in what locality, or who give it to lliem, arc liable to a peaalty of ^300. and iwO years imprisonment. Having, therefore, the power to break up to a great extent this demoralizing traffic, you are expected to use the ut most vigilance in inforcing the penalties of the law against all iersoug who engage is it with the Indians under your char&e, whether this is done on or off the reser vation. When persons are detected in a viola tion of the law. their cases should be placed in the hands of tho District At torney for the district wherein the crime was c(immi^«tj4BIBfliR that they be proiB^jteiWjill ltMbd,and{mttWfcrd mil yoo WBI with thftC" nflttf In iua-efRprtft utet.) y AT CAMBBrS, TOL^SjO: vofincusi. 8tiwaeiJW«ilel»f! *44 yery JK3T44 "j 1 *ta^#rjMrtVtowW Ira* biettirteach _t .T_i« In flftv'^rk, He fs a. son of 'Wtilf it ,i i,, ,a(ar 'Y 3iAkMlli'c^cljIciiii, Mr. Brown Is stil! canvassing in tilts vi cinity for this valuable work. 88 ^ets lave ahcady 6cin sold here, sad still the work goes 09.

Mr. A.J.Wlieaton has set-out' a hand some row of shade trees along the conie lery walk, and placed some seats there for persons when out walking to take a rest. We understand some of the boys in town are clisfiguring-the seats and clipping the tops off the trees. They ought to know better, and if any more such work is done will doubtless be learned better. We understand that our present reco d«r, J. B. M. Bishop, will not be a candi date for renominution. In doing so he exercises good judgment in stepping down and out. He has had it four years, which is &s long as any person ought to be allowed to hold it. Pass it around, gentlemen. It's the best paying office in the Court House, and no one has a life lease ou it. We clip the above from the Toledo cor respondence of the Traer Clipper, and while the writer may not have so intend ed, yet the item, short as it is, contains several misrepresentations. In tho first place Mr. Bishop is just as much can didate now as he has been. The CIIROST ICLB stated his position several weeks ago to be tii.ijily this, that he would cheer fully accept the nomination if it was ten dered him, but did not consider that he Wiio was it-tliat said Hassel] couldn't I had any c'aiui on the offlco more than put on a tin roof ns cheap and'as good as any hUier man who ever it'was prevari cated just a little.

Secondly, the Recorder's offlpe is not "the best paying ofiice in the Court House" by a good deal. On the other hand, it doubtless furnishes the least in conic for the same amount of labor per formed of any office in the Court House. With these two trifling exceptions the above item is about correct. We do not purpose to champion the cause of any of tho various candidates, but will give them ail a fair show at the proper time, and will cheerfully acquiesce in the action of the Countv Convention. VM We were shown the other day a large Abstract issued frorii tho office of Mr. Wm. IUeckboff which was ccrtainly a model of neatuess, as well as a terseness. It took Mr. J. T. Wilson, one of the fast est penmen in tills part of the country, two days of jood steady writing to gel it up We also took occasion while in Mr. R.'s office to examine his Abstract books and were surprised at the amount of infor mation concerning titles of land which could be gleaned in an almost casual glance. Mr. 1 ieckholl'lias had a large experience in the Abstract and Land Bus iness and has ombodiod lu his Tjooks all the ideas and information lie lias gained by such experience, and has one. of-\tlic most perfect and compiCto sets of Ab sfi*cts we ever saw. •. .,. FltOM HOWARD TOWJssniP Mr. L. F. Ilammet started for Chicago on last Saturday evening with a car load Df fat cattle fed by himself. He iutends looking around the city several days be fore returning home. Our weather now for several days past has been good for the corn. It is all coming up nicely aud some will bu large enough to plow the last of the week. Mr. Jolm Cobb has sold his faim lately to sonic Germans and will in a few days start for Kansas, John is among our best citizens and we arc sorry to lose him. May success greet liiuiio his new western home. On last Thursday Stephen Hall re ceived a ie'egraph dispatch from "Ohio stating that his son James, a young man of about 23 years of age, died there on Wednesday eveuing of Typhoid fever. This is a sad blow ou his family and to his many friends lie was one of the most exemplary young men of our township well known and highly respected. In looking over our township we be lieve thai Howard can boast of us many good fanners, and neat and tasty residen ces, yards, barns, &c.,as any of those ad joining us, which certainly shows that they are alive in the way of improve ments. Lyman Emerson delivered his fat cat tle to W. A. McLagan of Tama City on last Saturday this is the last lot of fat cattle we believe that has been held this late in the township. From tho correspondence in the Ti nes of last issue it seems to us that Monti cello is becoming noted for so many pleasures that occupy Ihe young folks time, also some of the old ones too.

Of late we have uoticed some of our young i»cn riding down towards Toledo, about four o'clock on Sunday afternoons the reason of this—some of those young ladies caa probably tell more of than we can.

In south western Iowa, we .find thous and upon thousands bushels of corn go ing to wiiste, by uot being properly pro tected from the western storms they do not crib their corn at all, but put it on the ground and there it stays until they use or sell it, or until it fls entirely spoil ed. Wc lind very bad roads and weather until [after \ve crossed tlie muddy Mis souri, then the roads were good, i'herc lias beeu but very little rain in this coun try this spring. After crossing ,tlic river at Plattsmouth wc purled company with two other teams from northern Tama, who were seeking homes in northern Kan sas, we taking a south-western direc lion for Weeping Water, where wc met our old friend Ex. County Treasurer, Tlieo. Schaed'er lie is now employed as chief clerk in a dry goodi store. The country between Plattsinoutb aid Wcci* ing Water is us fine n country as one would wish to see. They have a very fine quality of building stone at that point nhicliran he taken out of the quarries iu any shape desired and are a very durable stone. From Weeping Wa'er, wc £o in a south western direction for Lincoln, Nebraska this is a \ery fine country. The location of Lincoln is good, ar.d it is a town that will become a tine city even tually. (There are s.ime magnificent buil dings there amongst which wc might men tion the Capitol, Post-ollice, Custom "pggl'Ul'wy 3W further House, and many others. On the north side of the Custom House, there is an Artesian Well that throws a stream of salt vater as large as n man's arm. We did not partake of it very freely, although wc tasted of it and found it to contain cot siderable salt. The best country wc have foaml (in our estimation) is between the two Blues. Wc have found Ihe soil very thin through this part of the coun try, it being only twelve to fifteen inches thick. Wc have asked a great many per sons if they hive any hard pan in this country. They say "No but there is what they call "Gum-bole"which iS noth ing more or less thanjliard pan, at least that is what wc would call it in Iowa. The "country between Crete nnd Red Cloud is more rolling hut no limber until wc strike Elk Creek, where «e tind tim ber all along the Creek, and" plenty of it. We came over twenty-five miles of coun try in which we did not see a slick of timber or one drop of water. The sloughs or "drives" as they call them here arc 'perfectly dry, and we do not need to be afraid of getting swamped in the slouelis in this country can drive ov»r them any where. As ne near Red Cloud the couutry becomes more rolling and the land is composed of a great deal of Magnesia, which makes it almost worthless for agricultural purposes, but would be a good country for raising stock if water was more plenty. They have to bore or dig from sixty to one hundred feet for water. After arriving at Red Cloud we fimt the noted Magnesia lime stone. The people use it for building purposes,but it will not stand wet weather It can be cut with an axe after it is taken out of the quarries as easily as you can cut a piece of pine wood, but it becomes harder after bcingcxposcd to the weather for n while they also use it for making •mortar the take the stone and slack them with water, mix some sand with it and do their mason work and plastering, and they claim it stands the weather well.

The trial of the causer of Mrs. Hitch uer vs Shaffer Brothers,oouceming which I mentioned in my last, was heard in the Circuit Cqurt, at Vinton, Judge McKean presiding. At the fonner trial the verdict was for $2,800, which the then presiding Judge (Rotlirock) cut down to $2,000. The case was called ou Wednesday morn ing, but little diificulty occured in select inga jury, two days were consumed in taking testimony, and one in thcspeechcs of the lawyers. On Saturday the jury rendered a verdict for plaintiff for $4,000. G. R. Strublc and Haines for plaiutiff,and Nichols and Tewkesbury for defendants. In all the change of veuue cases taken from Tama County, that have come to my knowledge, the parlies taking the change have invcrriably g?l the wcrst of it. Far better to take the home chances neighbors are more apt to let their jndg saent lean on mercy's side. The fimt time I saw Vinton in 1888, tt contained some four small stores, two cr three dozen houses, nnd a saw mill. The buildings were scattered aud of a cheap order. The most of tlie inhabitants were there waiting for something "to turn up." Some tired|of waiting and left for other pastures, and some remained and to-day in their old or middle age are .living on fortunes made iu Vinton. Those early meu wero enterprising and shrewd had gicat faith in their embryo town. In 1856 I remember a meeting of these men, at which they passed a resolution that town lots be advanced ICO per ccnt. and they advanced. Could any town beat that or any men have greater, faith Time lias, rolled ou since tken and Vinton has pros pered. The small wooden stores have been displaced by creditable brick blocks, beautiful and lastly private dwellings are thickly planted over the plat church es and ^school houses that would be a credit to towns of four limes its popula tion meet the eye of the visitor, and Vin ten is fair to look upon Some six years ago the spirit of enterprise led the real estate owners to build many store rooms, which were then needed. Since then tlie R.

In nothing is thee mole change than is seen in the lawyers.

No man there claims that liquors are not sold in Vinton no one that want it are incon enicnced because uf the municipal regula tion. Its enhanced cost is the difference. I counted five drug stores.
