Sudden Death of H. N. WEST. (Page 1)
  How true, that in the midst of life we are in the presence of death. Many hearts ... (article damaged, a few lines of text missing) ... , almost startled last even- ... (missing) ... ssed from ... (missing).
Mr. H. N. WEST was bor... (missing) ... ton County, Penn., Dec. 24, 1847; moved with his parents to Green County Penn., in 1862. At the age of 17 he began teaching, and the following year attended Southwestern College, until 1867, while not at school, continued teaching. In the spring of 1867 entered Waynesburg College, Penn., and remained until the fall of 1869, when he removed to and became a resident of this city. In 1870 he had charge of the public school in Brighton, and in 1871 was Superintendent of the Public School in this city; the next year was principal of the Ottumwa High School, and the two years following Superintendent of the Public School at Chariton. In 1876 he entered the law office of Hon. D. P. STUBBS in this city, and the next year was admitted to the bar, and formed a law partnership with Hon. M. A. McCOID which continued till the winter of 1882, when he withdrew and established an office to himself. He was twice elected member of the School Board, and served as its president during his last term. In the Spring of 1883 was elected City Solicitor, and was a member of the Board of Directors of the Fairfield Loan and Building Association. The two latter positions he held at the time of his death. During the fall of 1883 he was a candidate on the Democratic ticket for the Legislature, and made the strongest run for years, coming within fifty votes of being elected in this usually strong Republican county. He was married on the 1st of September, 1874, to Miss Nettie F. EATON, who with one child, Willie, survives him.
  In all the walks of life, both in business and social, Mr. WEST was a man of the most genial cordiality, and never passed one on the street or met him in his office, but he had a kindly word and a friendly cheer. Our acquaintance with him dates from the time we returned to this city, and we have ever found in him a genial, warm-hearted, consistent and true friend. He always took a great interest in our enterprise, and seemed rejoiced when it was evident that we were "weathering the storm," and THE JOURNAL was no longer an experiment. We shall miss the genial greetings with him on the street, and in business circles; his cordial sympathy, and genuine friendship. We had learned to regard him so highly that we shall miss him almost as much as if he were one of our own household.
  Mr. West had been ailing more or less ever since the campaign of last fall, when during his canvass of the county, he contracted a severe cold from which he never fully recovered. But no one thought his ailments were of so serious a nature. He became unconscious yesterday from great irritation of the stomach which produced excessive action of the heart, resulting in spasmodic contractions, and death was immediate.
  The entire sympathy of this community goes out to the almost heart-broken wife and mother, that sorrowful boy, and those grief-stricken relatives who in the morning of life, have lost the companionship of a noble and true hearted husband, a dutiful father, and a kind son, brother and citizen.
  It is regarded as the most wonderful fact in all nature that it is not vouchsafed to man to know when, how, or under what circumstances he will meet death. There is not a man in all this broad land who, if he knew within a certain number of years from this time he must meet death, would not, to some extent at least, determine to change his habits of life. Yet we know the fact that all men must die, and that many, like Mr. WEST, will be stricken down in the prime of their manhood almost without warning.
  The seal of death has been placed upon his life before it attained the ripeness of age. The reed has been broken by an untimely wind. A useful man, an active and honored citizen, an ornament to society and to the bar has retreated from the din and turmoil of life to the realms beyond.
  So sudden, so unexpected, the question irresistibly forces itself upon us: Who will be the next to go?
  The funeral will take place from the residence to-morrow afternoon at two o'clock, and the services will be conducted by the Rev. Dr. DWIGHT of the Congregational Church.

Gear for Congress. (Page 1)
During a recent visit among our old friends at Columbus Junction, we conversed with a number of the leading politicians of Louisa county, and were gratified to learn that the preponderance of public sentiment in that county, is in favor of ex-Governor John H. GEAR, of Des Moines county, as the republican candidate for Congress in this District. This struck us at once as in accordance with the eternal fitness of things. Mr. GEAR would make a more creditable representative than has occupied the position since the days of McCRARY. We regard him as the only republican in the district that can carry it against the democratic nominee, and the republicans will show wisdom in selection if they nominate him.

  --J. W. SKINNER, of Leavenworth, is in the city to-day.
  --Charles J. WILSON, of Washington, was in the city to-day.
  --J. S. FELGER and L. MOFFIT, of Chicago, were here to-day.

  --Otto TAPPERT, the jolly and big hearted representative of the Standard Oil Company, of Burlington, was in the city over Sunday.
  --The Fairfield Silver Cornet Bank, so we are informed, serenaded Jeff DAVIS at the St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans on the 23d inst.
  --The meeting of the Council to-night is for the purpose of electing a Solicitor to fill vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. WEST. John M. GALVIN is most prominently spoken of, and would make an excellent Solicitor.
  --Query. If it is slanderous for THE JOURNAL to say that some of the Fairfield boys demolished a copperhead newspaper during the war, was it an honor for the Fairfield band boys to serenade Jeff DAVIS at New Orleans last Wednesday?
  --Al HILBERT and Harry BOOKER brought home with them from New Orleans some souvenirs of the south--a few live alligators. We haven't heard from Mrs. BOOKER, but Mrs. HILBERT is delighted with their pet, but says she fears it won't live long.
  --The Republican County Convention on Saturday selected as delegates to the State Convention John B. HORN, F. M. TAYLOR, C. D. LEGGETT, A. W. JAQUES, John LEECH, W. W. JUNKIN, J. M. HINKLE, Dr. BALDRIDGE, J. H. BAXTER and Newton WILLIAMS. A vote on presidential preferences resulted BLAINE, 32; Boss WILSON, 10; ARTHUR, 6; EDMUNDS, 6; SHERMAN, 6. These ten Jefferson county Republicans and the New York Witness seems to be the sum total of Boss WILSON’s strength.
  --The funeral of Henry N. WEST took place from his late residence yesterday afternoon, and was the largest attended of any similar gathering that has taken place in this city for years, which was ample proof of the high esteem in which the deceased was held by the community. The Masons, Knights of Pythias, Members and Students of the Jefferson County Bar and the ladies of the Eastern Star attended in bodies. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. DWIGHT, who based his remarks on 1st Tim. i-xv.

In Memoriam. (Page 8)

  Resolved, 1.  That the sudden death of our brother, H. N. WEST, cut down in the morning of his manhood and usefulness, causes the deepest pain and most heartfelt sorrow.
  2. That his public spirit and active cooperation in all beneficial enterprises make his death a loss to the city, the county and the state.

  5.  That this Bar attend his funeral in a body, and render to his remains the last sad rites of humanity.

Tuesday Tit-Bits. (Page 8)
  --Philip SMITH, of New York, is here.
  --W. R. PARK, of Indianapolis, is here to-day.
  --J. A. DUMONT, of Rockford, Ill., is in the city.
  --E. D. GALLAGHER, of St. Louis, in the city to-day.

  --The old front is being torn away and a new and more attractive one will soon adorn the ACHESON building on the north side. 'Tis well.
  --Wm. HUSTON lost a house at Perlee last week worth $1.000. Insured in the Hawkeye for $500.  This is the third fire this town has had in six month. The "hard crowd" will burn Perlee up yet.
  --The selection of John M. GALVIN last night by the Council as Solicitor, made vacant by the death of Mr. WEST, was a wise and proper one, and will give general satisfaction.
  --It is said that Washington county will send a McCOID delegation to the Congressional Convention. In Louisa county he couldn't get the sixteenth portion of one side of a delegate.
  --Bible study Thursday evening at Y. M. C. A. rooms. Consecration meeting Sabbath morning. Gospel meeting Sabbath 4 o'clock. Subject, "Paul's Mission." Acts xxvi 18 and 39.
  --J. M. HINKLE and rol (sic) WILSON were separate candidates for the City Solicitorship last night. As these gentlemen are the county attorneys, railroad attorneys and have recently become managers of the opera house, it is a burning shame that they are not permitted to concentrate more of the business in that office. Perhaps they can buy out Bill ROWLAND and CHASE.
  --The Oskaloosa Herald says Council Bluffs, Des Moines, Oskaloosa, and other villages are competing to get the permanent location of the state fair. Come now boys, none of your munkeying with the buzz saw. We are going to have that state fair. This fair was born in this city, Fairfield is its mother, and it is not very likely that the agricultural board will go back on its maternal ancestor. But joking aside, here is something for our people to think seriously about and promptly act. The state fair will this year be permanently located somewhere, and it is a prize worth capturing. With a proper effort Fairfield can knock the persimmons. Will we do it?

THE JOURNAL extends its best wishes to the happy young couple.
  --In our rounds this morning we were surprised to find that usually quiet and peaceable member of the bar, Mr. I. D. JONES, angry, madder than a March hare. Charley FULLEN, his law partner, had fired him out bodily, while he was having the office painted, papered and generally over-hauled and cleaned up, -- something that would not be tolerated in the days of Bent Culbertson. It was cruel in Charley to thus impose upon a cripple, and we don't blame Isaac for getting angry.
  --Rheumatism is clearly a species of blood-poisoning; that is, the blood of the victim is impregnated by unhealthy and obstructive acids that penetrate the entire system and give rise to those racking pains that render life a burden. The reason that Athlophoros invariably proves efficacious in dealing with this disease is that it at once attacks the cause. It enters the life current, and its action drives out the poisonous humors that have impaired the circulation, deprived the muscles of natural functions, and so stiffened the joints as to make them worse than useless to the unhappy victims of rheumatism.
  --Closing Out. A stock of Tobacco and Cigars cheap.    d95    G. A. UNKRICH.
