Burlington, Des Moines, Iowa
29 June 1876

District Court
Things were kept warm yesterday about the court house, if we may be permitted to use the expression, as they were everywhere else in the metropolis. Foster's minute book presented the diversified appearance of a Chinese 4th of July poster struck by lightning. But he knew what it all meant and with his accustomed graceful good nature consented to interpret for us while we took notes. We always take notes when we can't get cash. There is nothing mean about us, we hope.

Admitted to the Bar.
General A.C. Dodge was admitted to the Iowa bar upon a certificate from the circuit court of Iowa county, Wisconsin.
Wm. W. Dodge, son of the general, was also admitted upon his diploma from the state university at Iowa. Upon the application of T.G. Catlett, a committee was appointed who will interview the aspirant for legal preferment and report.

Naturalized.
G.A. Jamison, a native of Ireland, renounced his allegiance to the emerald isle, that is to say, to the kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and was made a citizen of these United States in time to participate in the centennial. The finance committee of the Iowa centennial celebration at Burlington, July third, fourth and fifth, will call on him to-day and present the subscription list.

District Court.
