Saturday Sayings. ( Page 1)

--Seneca CORNELL, of Eldon, was in the city to-day.
  --Dan LYONS, Keokuk, is here.
  --C. R. BECKLEY, of Burlington, is in the city.
  --E. B. CLARK, of Washington, D. C., was in the city to-day.
  --Mrs. W. R. ROLLINS, of Kansas City, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. RATCLIFF.
  --Will R. BARBER, formerly in the employ of The Tribune, but now of Chicago, is in the city to-day.
  --Rev. A. M. PREWITT will preach in the Congregational Church to-morrow evening at the usual hour.
  --D. B. MILLER, of Red Oak, spent Memorial Day among his many friends and old army comrades in this city.
  --Rev. W. D. SWAYNE, of Mt. Pleasant, will occupy the pulpit of the Christian church to-morrow morning at the usual hour.
  --F. SUSEMIEHL, of Davenport, deputy sheriff of Scott county, was in the city last night on his way to Mt. Pleasant with a "crazy," --so crazy, indeed, that he demolished some glass at the Leggett House, and raised the neighborhood for blocks around.
  --W. L. WILCOX, the superintendent of the water works under Mr. INMAN will finish laying the pipes to-day, and will commence the foundation for the stand-pipe and engine Monday. The work will be pushed as rapidly as possible. Mr. WILCOX informs us that the works will doubtless be completed by the middle of August.
  --The Industrial Exhibition at the Union School last Thursday and Friday was a complete success, and added great interest to the closing of our public school, and was productive of a great amount of genuine benefit to our rising generation. Such a digression from the monotonous routine of school life is deserving of the highest praise.
  --Mr. Ward LAMSON, one of our wealthiest and best citizens, but who is generally an "off horse" on all public improvements, blames THE JOURNAL for the electric light and the water works. We have endeavored to be modest in our claims for the amount of credit due us for the part we took, yet as our shoulders are broad and our corporosity ponderous, we are willing to accept Mr. LAMSON’s version and assume whatever credit or blame may attach in after years to these glorious public enterprises for the advancement of our material interests.
  --Memorial Day services yesterday brought out a larger number of people than has assembled here on any previous occasion. We believe this beautiful custom of honoring the fallen braves is growing from year to year and will eventually become the leading national holiday. The war has been over twenty years, yet the memory of those noble soldiers who lost their lives in the service of their country are as green in the minds of our people as the grass in our beautiful park, as imperishable as granite, and as lasting as time itself. It is ementlly fitting and proper that is should be so.
  --The second annual commencement of the Fairfield High School took place at the opera house last evening. The house was taxed to its full capacity, and many had to stand up. The graduates are all young ladies, and they were appropriately and most handsomely dressed. The orations were as follows: "Ruins of Time," by Miss Annie R. CLARK; "Self-Reliance," Miss Rose E. HICKETHIER; "Experience, the Only True Teacher," Miss Clara M. GAGE; "The Age Supplies the Need," Miss Sadie E. RUMER; "Nothing Without Influence," Miss Aura L. GARRISON; "The Workman Fall but the Work Goes On," Miss Maud F. LOWERY; "Time and Tide Wait for No Man," Miss Luvenia M. JONES; Dilligence Secures Success," Miss Florence J. WARNER; "The Educational Trinity," Miss Lizzie R. JONES. The young ladies did excellently, and received the praises of the immense audience present. The diplomas were awarded by Prof. MONLUX.

  Pipe smoking is the real test of a tobacco. It is the regal way of smoking. You get more directly at the flavor and fragrance. You take the smoke cooler, and the tonic cleanlier and safer. Pipe smoking is smoking reduced to a fine art.
  The more the question of adulterated tobacco forces itself on the attention of smokers, the more desirable it becomes to know precisely what you are smoking. In BLACKWELL’s Bull Durham Smoking Tobacco you have a guarantee, always, that it is Nature's own unadulterated product. Its fragrance, flavor, and unsurpassed quality, are derived from the soil and air.
  Try it, and you will be satisfied. None genuine without trade-mark of the Bull.

All successful Fishermen and Sportsmen smoke Blackwell’s Bull Durham Smoking Tobacco, and they enjoy it.

W. C. T. U.
  The sixth annual convention of the W. C. T. U. of the First Congressional District was held in the M. E. Church of this city on Wednesday and Thursday May 28th and 29th. The exercises begun on Wednesday at 2 P.M. under the direction of the following officers: Pres., Miss Rachel CARNEY, of Mt. Pleasant; Secretary, Mis. Phebe ELLIOTT; Treas., Mrs. M. E. DRAKE, both of the same city. The afternoon was devoted to routine and miscellaneous business. On Wednesday evening a very interesting address was delivered by Mrs. Annie M. PALMER, the state evangeliat (sic).
  On Thursday forenoon occurred the election of officers and other items of routine business. In the afternoon papers of great interest and ability were read by Mrs. Nettie A. CAMPBELL, of Mt. Pleasant, by Mrs. C. A. DUNHAM, of Burlington, by Mrs. Belle MANSFIELD, of Mt. Pleasant, by Mrs. M. L. MONTFORT, of Burlington, and by Mrs. Lucy K. BYRKIT, of Mt. Pleasant.
  On Thursday evening the State President, Mrs. M. J. ALDRICH, of Des Moines, delivered an eloquent and impressive address on the enforcement of the near prohibitory liquor law.
  The exercises of the convention throughout were of the most interesting chatter, and arrested the sympathy and attendance of large numbers of our best citizens. The evening meetings taxed the church to its utmost capacity. The W. C. T. U. has made a most favorable impression upon the people of Fairfield, and its representatives will always find a hearty welcome in the hearts and homes of the community.

Monday Melange.
  --It is the opinion of the New York Morning Journal that President ARTHUR can well afford to let the chronic growlers bark at him.
  --The Rock Island Route changes time to-morrow. The correct time will be found by consulting the time-card in to-days JOURNAL.
  --The telephone line was completed to Birmingham Saturday afternoon, and communication can hereafter be had with that village. The central office is at PITKIN & SKINNER’s store.
  --The ease and facility with which a bank suspends and resumes again immediately in these times is something remarkable. Either the officers of these institutions are wholly ignorant of their resources or are altogether too quick to lose their own heads.
  --The spring trotting meeting of Chicago Trotting Park will be held June 3d to 7th inclusive. It will be one of the most interesting events of the year. Mr. D. L. HALL, secretary of the association, is winning an enviable reputation for his splendid management of these meetings.
  --It is stated and no doubt truthfully that the moral health and power, and the physical force of the American people is being undermined more effectually by the publication of vile fiction and heinous reality than by any and all other agencies. The youth of the nation are, to-day, as familiar with all the horrid details of every grade of lust and crime as the criminals of a century ago. The war of the rebellion generated a spirit of adventure and a taste for exciting literature; and publishers were not wanting to supply the taste with reading which has nourished the spirit until the youth of to-day are unsatisfied with history or standard fiction. The press of the country can do much to stay the tide of this evil by the judicious suppression of purely sensational and revolting criminal matter and it should do it.

Tuesday Tit-Bits.
  --J. M. ADAMS, Sigourney, is here.
  --M. L. HURD, of Davenport, is in the city.
  --S. A. WADDELL, of Chicago, is in the city.
  --W. O. EVERETT, of Milwaukie, is in the city.
  --D. R. BEATTY, of BEATTY & MOHR, is in Chicago.
  --J. W. BURNETT and family returned from Ohio last night.
  --Daniel GREEN and C. H. PHILLIPS, of New York, were in the city to-day.
  --J. E. WILKINS and H. P. RUBY, of Lake City, Minn., were here to-day.
  --This is Clark MOYER’s week off and he is spending it among his many friends in this city.
  --GALVIN & ROSS have removed their office from the Wilson block to the room formerly occupied by the late H. N. WEST.
  --R. H. MOORE and wife spent Sunday and Monday in Rock Island, Davenport and Moline, and took in the great Arsenal and Armory on the island.
  --H. A. STREIGHT is back to stay now. He has leased quarters in the McELHINNY building, and will show us some of his fine Rocky Mountain and Colorado scenery.
  --J. H. CRAFT is the new dry-goods man in Jordan block, and starts out with a vim and energy that betokens success. He will be ready for business to-morrow, and we bespeak for him a goodly share of the patronage of the community.
  --James F. CRAWFORD has concluded to add three new store rooms to the rear of his magnificent building on the Southeast corner. He broke ground yesterday, and will put up a building 22x50, two stories high, for business purposes.
  --Dr. MOORMAN has removed to Packwood, where he will practice medicine. During the short time Dr. MOORMAN has been a resident here he made many warm and true friends, who will wish him the best of success in his new field of labor.  He is a physician of real ability, and will be a valuable acquisition to Packwood and vicinity.
  --We had some hopes that President ARTHUR would be nominated, but according to the Chicago Tribune, McCOID, who could n't find time to come here and talk to the old soldiers on Memorial Day, is in Chicago and made a speech in ARTHUR's favor, which we fear, will settle the "hash" for the President.
  --J. D. BROWN, Leon, a director of the State Agricultural Society, and E. G. BUTCHER, Camanche, the noted and genial horseman of Iowa, are in the city the guests of John R. SHAFFER. Mr. BROWN and John R. went to Chicago last night to look after State Fair matters and take in the Republican Convention.
  --The Des Moines & Ft. Dodge R. R. Co. are now running through passenger trains between Des Moines, Lake Okoboji and Spirit Lake via Ruthven and the C., M. & St. Paul R. R. This train will continue to run through during the tourist season, and will be appreciated by the people along the line of that popular road and its connections. As a resort for tourists and pleasure seekers, or a place of rest for the business or professional men, the region round about Lake Okoboji and Spirit Lake are becoming more and more in favor each year, and every citizen of Iowa should be proud of these beautiful lakes and avail himself of the opportunity to visit so beautiful and healthful a resort at least once a year with his family.
The fare for round trip tickets has been placed at the low rate of $7.50 from Ondlins, and low excursion rates may be had from all principal points. Mr. Geo. W. OGILVIE, the General Ticket and Passenger Agent of the road will always be pleased to give information in relation to the rates or trains.

Prompt Settlement.
  The following certificate explains itself, and convicts the old reliable Burlington Insurance Company of one of its usual tricks, that is, promptly and honorably adjusting and paying its losses:
      FAIRFIELD, IOWA, JUNE 4, 1884.
  On the first day of June my barn, out-buildings and some personal property were destroyed by fire. I had insurance in the Burlington Insurance Company, and to-day they have in a straightforward and honorable manner settled, and given me a sight draft for the amount of my loss and claim. I wish to recommend the Company to all for its promptness and fair methods of doing business.
            ROBERT STEWART.
H. B. KELTNER, of this city, is district agent of this thoroughly reliable Insurance Company, and all those in want of a policy in the Burlington Insurance Company should apply to him. His office is on the west side, up stairs, over McGAW’s shoe store.

CITY COUNCIL.
Regular Meeting of the City Council of Fairfield, Iowa.
[By Authority.]
    Council Chamber, May 30, 1884.
  Council met pursuant to adjournment.
  Present, Mayor BOLING and Trustees BRIGHT, CLARK, LEGGETT, McGAW, RICKSHER, SCOTT, SHOULTZ and YOUNG.
  A communication from the Street Commissioner, and also one from A. TURNER, was referred to the Streets and Alleys Committee.
  A communication from C. B. DAVIS, of Chicago, enclosing a claim for $225, balance claimed as due for plans and specifications for water works held in abeyance by the former Council, was referred to Committee on Claims.
  The Streets and Alleys Committee filed a report recommending that the ditch complained of by John E. DOUGHERTY be walled up with plank. The report was adopted.
  The Public Property Committee made a report on the application of C. M. JUNKIN, from the Fourth of July Committee, asking for control of the park on the Fourth, and recommended that the application be granted, which was agreed to by the Council.
  The Judiciary Committee reported a bill for an ordinance referred to them, together with amendments. The bill was placed upon its second reading. On motion the rules were suspended and ordinance being placed upon its third and last reading was adopted by the Council, thereby becoming ordinance No. 93 entitled "An Ordinance to Provide for the Erection of Water Works."
  The Committee on Water Works made the following report:
To the Mayor and City Council:
  Your Committee on Water Supply report--
  1. That they have had a consultation with Mr. INMAN, the contractor for the water works, and they recommend that the Council assist the contractor in realizing upon the bonds of the city by directing the solicitor to report his opinion in writing as to the validity of the bonds after the passage of the proposed ordinance for the use of the contractor.
  2. They recommend that a deed be made by the City to George B. INMAN for the real estate purchased from William ALSTON for the reservoir, as seems to have been intended in the contract of the City with INMAN. The deed when executed to contain a reference to said contract sufficient to give notices of the rights of the City in the premises.
  3. They recommend that two (2) bonds be delivered to George B. INMAN, the contractor, on account of the attached Engineer's estimates for April and May, as per contract and subject to final settlement.
  The footing of the estimates is $3,397.51, fifty per cent. of which is $1,698.75. The two bonds at ninety per cent. amount to $1,800.00, at face value, but the contractor's bill of extras which we have not yet adjusted so as to make a recommendation as to it will warrant the delivery of the excess in bonds.
  The estimate is made to-day instead of June 1st because Mr. INMAN is now in the city but goes away this evening.
      CHARLES D. LEGGETT,
         Chairman.

  May 30th, 1884.

  Is greatly improved over last season, and the changes made render it the leading Low Down Binder in the market, as it is the only Low Down Binder that went through the harvest last season successfully, all other kinds being returned.
  THE EXCELSOR HARVESTER AND BINDER.
This was one of the first machines adopting the Appleby Twine Binder, and has some improvements on the Appleby not used by any other manufacture. The Binder, Sizer and Patent Ejector, and the care with which it separates the bundles in down and tangled grain, are very important considerations.
McCORMICK HARVESTER AND BINDER.
  This machine was one of the first before the public, and has given good satisfaction. It has valuable improvements this year--the New improved Reel and Iron Cutter Bar being the most important. We have also Combined Reapers and Mowers, Single Reapers, Single Mowers, Excelsior Self Rake, Empire Table Rake, the new One-Wheel Sweep Rake, Excelsior and Empire Mowers, new Massillion Thresher, with steam or horse power. Tongueless and ordinary Cultivators, Dump Hay Rake. Schutler and Bain Wagons, the best quality of Spring Wagons. We also have the Patent Iron, Felloe Wagon. Something new. Come and see it. Repairs a specialty, of which we keep the largest stock in this part of the State.

FARMERS! CALL ON BEATTY & MOHR
(Picture of two horses pulling a twine binder in a field.)
AND SEE THE MOST PERFECT REAPERS AND MOWERS.
THE DEERING TWINE BINDER.
With Simplicity, Combined, stands at the head of the List of all other Machines.
For ease of Management and Lightness of Draft,
The DEERING Stands at the Head of the Craft.
The DEERING BINDER has been improved for 1884, being without doubt the best machine out. Farmers, before buying call and see us. We do not canvass, as we think a farmer should see what he is buying before he signs an order, as an order if the same as a note, if not better.

Here are Pieces Used in Other Binders---Count Them.
(Picture of parts in a Deering knotter)
Then look at the Simplicity of the Great Deering Machine. Six Pieces so Put Together as to Only Make Two! Farmers, which of these Knotters, in your judgement, is the best -- Our New Knotter, having six pieces in all, when put together making two pieces, or our Competitor's with 22 pieces? We think the verdict of every farmer will be: "The New Knotter." We have in stock the Deering Mower, Buckeye Low Down Binder, Table Rakes, Buckeye Mower, Sulky Hay Rakes, Farm and Spring Wagons, Buggies.
