TIPTON, IOWA:
THURSDAY. NOV. 23d, 1871.
Secretary Belknap, io reply to A news
paper DUD who wanted to know what
would become of the army during
General Sherman's abeence, said be
thought the newspaper men could
manage it with a little help fnom him.
Mrs. O'Leary persists In denying the
story about ber cow having kicked over
the lauip which set fire to Chicago. It
is too late. She told the kicking story
herself in the first place—it has become
a fact in history—and she and all the
cows in DeKoven street cap not now
kick it over.
The total reduction of the public debt,
Under Grant's Administration, from
March 4, 1869, to November 1, 1871,
ainouuts to $273,740,811.98. While this
has beeu done, taxation has been reduc
ed, and many oontly improvements
made. Figures speak louoer and truer
than Democratic words, and this the
couutry kuows. Grant is making it
hard work for politicians who are trying
to Induce the people to believe that
Giaut is uot making a good Presideut.
Tb* Clinton Herald, alluding U a
statement that there may be opposition
tc a reasonable appropriation by the
next Legislature for the new Capitol,
very sensibly says: "Whe hope no
suoh unwise course will be countenanc
ed as giving aid and comfort to such a
sentiment. Iowa decided two years ago
to erect a proper building aud has spent
some money on it. Let more be appro
priated freely and let the only care be,
that the matter shall not get into such a
shape as to become subject to the
suspicion of being used and nursed for
the benefit of a few individuals. Our
belief is, a State House can be built in
Iowa honestly. Let the work move on
then, without captions interruption."
RAILROAD TAX.—The Clinton Age,
after a lengthy article in answer to the
question, When is the Five per cent.
Tax in favor of the Iewa Southwestern
payable draws the following conciu.
sion in regard to the taxes voted in
Clinton and Camancbe townships Nov.
26th and Oct. 13, 1870, respectively, as
follows
The conclusion we come to is
l9t. The five percent, lax in Clinton
and Camaucbe townships, in aid of the
I. K. W., is now due.
2d. If by the flr«t of March, 1872, the
I. S. W. is not completed to the town
ships of Clinton or Camanche, the tax
e*. shall uot draw interest or penalty."
3d. The interest or peualty shall ac
crue as soon as the road is completed to
the townships of Clinton and Cauianche
Under caption of "State and State
House Matters," the State Register gives
items which we condense as follows:
Governor Merrill learns, by letters,
that very many prominent men from
all parts of the State are to le present at
the laying of the corner stone.
In the office of Secretary of State, Ar
ticles of Incorporation have recently
been filed for a Council Bluffs Gas Co.,
capitol, $1.50,000 aud Citizens' Bank of
Des Moines, capital, $100,000.
Statements of Insurance companies
doiug business iu this State, required by
the State Auditor to be filed with him
before tba 20th instant are coming iu
rapidly. The affairs of a good many of
tiie companies, as shown by the state
ments they have transmitted are in such
•n unsatisfactory condition that they
they will have to discontinue doing bus
iness iu thin State.
The receipts into the State Treasury
for the week ending
11
tb, were $2.5,866.52
warrants ledeenied during same time
was $14,356.52.
The latest text of the Democratic pa
pers is the proposed visit to Europe of
President Grant's son Fred. They have
bemoaned the Crowning act of Nepot
ism," which is one of their mild names
for it and wept tears of blood over the
$135 per month and ten cents for every
mile travelled" which they a*sert this
"stipendiary of the government" will
receive as wages for this pleasuring
journey. Now they will no longer
waste tears and moans. The New York
World, the national organ of Democracy,
records an interview between one of its
reporters and Gen. Sherman, in which
occurs the following question and reply:
Reporter—'Then, sir, it is quite un
true that Lieutenant Grant goes with
you to get information with regard to
his profession through vour assistance?'
General Sherman—' Yes, quite. He
has, as you know, but recently gradua
ted at West Point, and the President
n
side red my going abroad a good op
portunity to aeud his son to Europe for
the first time. Indeed, I never have
been to Europe myself, which is suffi
cient reason for the trip without any ne
cessity for official business. Admiral
Alden is to take command of the Euro
pean squadron on his arrival, and I go
simply as his guest, as does Lieutenant
Grant, who, as well as myself, pays his
own way.'
Corner-Stone of the Capitol.
The Corner Stone of the New Capitol,
at Des Moines, will be laid with appro
priate ceremonies on Wednesday next,
23d Inst. The occasion, judging from
the programme, will be an imposing
one. The procession is to consist of four
divisions, and it is to be made up of mil
itary, fire companies, State officers,
)udges, members of the old and new
General Assembly, civic associations of
all kinds, etc. The divisions are to form
separately at 10 A. M., and proooed to the
Capitol Grounds where the following
exercises will take place
Music.
Prayer.
Address by Hon. fllfttttel Merrill,
Governor of Iowa.
Reading of list of documents deposited
in corner stone.
Laying of cornerstone by theGovern
or of the State.
Benediction.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies a
national salute will be fired.
Gen. X. B. Baker will be Chief Mar
shal of the day, and will be assisted by
thirteen assistants. The people of Des
Moines expect a large attendance from
various parts of the State, and we pre
«ume will not be disappointed. Tfie oc
«asion appeals strongly to State pride
»ud patriotic feeling.—

years commenced on last week Tuesday

Consenting monetary matters, the
Chicago Tribune of Saturday says:
"The money markets, both local and
general, continue quiet and easy. The
banks in this city have, in many cases,
large amounts of money which they
would be glad to loan if satisfactory
securities were offered. The grain,
lumber, and provision trades, however,
are almost the only avenuoR of employ
ment for bank money yet the offers of
regular mercantile paper being almost
nothing."
Secretary Boutwell and Commissioner
Doug'ass were before the Senate Finance
Committee Friday, and submitted offi
cial statements relative to the amount
of receipts from various revenue sources
The Secretary is not prepared to go so
far in his recommendation for a reduc
tion of taxation as the committee, but
he thinks the Treasury can safely sub
mit to having twenty millions of revenue
receipts wiped out. The committee, in
its report, will recommend that at least
$30,000,000 of tuxes now imposed are
superfluous, and that thi burden be
taken from the tariff list.

Mence of John T. SsflJ^, Sr.,
of Sqgsr (Trove, LinB Co., ires filled te
overflowing HMurday, the, 11th inafc,
with friends and relatives ffnm all paffel
of the United Htates, to celebrate tbe
one hundredth anniversary birthdsy of
his mother, Isabella Safely, formerly of
Dunbar Scotland. We are not able to
give a full accouutof the relation that
congregated te do her honor, but simply
give a brief sketch of the mother of suoh
an extensive family.
Mrs. Safely was born Nov. 11th 1771,
at West Barnes in the vicinity of Dun
bar, Scotland. Her maiden name was
Isabella Gillmore, she being the second
daughter of Thomas Gillmore and
Nancy Coburn, of Dunbar. Miss Nancy
Coburn was the youngest daughter of
James Coburn of Eatenlaw, Derrick*
shire, and Elizabeth Scott of Yarrow,
whose aunt, Mary Scott, was tbe cele
brated "Flowei of Yarrow," for whom
the Prince of Wales offered to resign
his crown, to obtain her ml in mar*
riage, which the laws of his country, at
the time, prohibited him from doing.
Her sous and daughters present, with
their respective ages, were In the order
of their seniority, as follows
Mrq. Nancy Hogg, aged 73 years
Thos. Safely, Esq., aged 69 years John
G. Safely, Sr., aged 63 Andrew F.
Safely Sr., of California, aged 60 years
Mrs. Kennedy Brown, of New York,
aged 57 years.
Mrs. Safely was the mother of nine
children. The combined ages of herself
and children present foots up 431 years.
Notwithstanding her age, she is still in
possession of all her faculties, her senss
of hearing being only slightly affected
by her years. She is in good health and
walks erect and sprightly. She was
never known to be In a passion, and
this, she thinks, added to her great nat
ural vitality has so prolonged her life
beyond the allotted threescore and ten.
She has 6 children, 35 grand children
and 37 great grand children now living
Tbe number of her great great grand
children is not precisely known but
two, one in Iowa and one in New York,
have died within a year and others are
known to be in England and Scotland
of whom no definite knowledge is had.
The social and other exercises of this
unusual gathering were both interest
ing and pleasant. After the bounteous
repast had been appreciatively consider
ed, in response to call, Rev. Mr. J. 8.
Fullerton, of Springville, addressed tbe
assembled guests as follows
Fricndtt:—Called upon unexpectedly
as I have been to address you, my re
marks must necessarily l»e brief and
few. Iu the circumstances under
which we are called together, we havea
practical lesson, which at the present
day, it may be well for us to heed. We
have assembled to commemorate the
Centeni.u.l birthday of one who has al
ready enstamped her intellectual and
moral character on her children, and
upon her children's children, even to
the third or fourth generation, and traces
of this impression will doubtless be
found on generations yet to come. We
have bore an illustration of the control
ling influence which woman exerts over
the most important interests of man
kind. She, to a great extent, governs
and gives form to the social. Intellectual
and moral condition of each succeeding
generation as it takes its pla e and acts
its part in the great drama of human
life.
Some would be reformers of the
present day are anxious to see her act
in a far different sphere. They would
have Iter take a more prominent part in
what pertains to the financial commer
cial and political interests of mankind.
They would have her engage in our
banking institutions, in our railroad
corporations, iu our balls of legislation,
both State and National. Some are
eager to see woman placed in the chief
chairs of .State, and. although they prob
ably never obeyed their mothers at home
imugine they would be truly loj-al if
they could only have a woman to rule
over them. If such a change could be
effected, tbe result would be the degra
dation. and not the elevation ot woman.
It would l»e a lasting curse, and not a
blessing to our lace.
What we want is not that woman
fthould be transferred to a different
sphere of action, but that she should
more generally understand ttie position
she now occupies, that she should feel
its responsibility, and that she should
ever exert her influence for the glory of
God and ttie good will of society. 1 will
now add to the above remarks my sin
cere desire that woman may long con
tinue to be the moth?r and not the
father of all living may she ever in
the quietude of ber own household exert
that sacred influence which only saves
our race from ruin aud may she thus
be abundantly instrumental iu ushering
in that latter day glory for which we all
sigh, and which tbe Book of Books
informs us shall yet shine on our sin
ruined world.
Iiev. J. K. Black, of Mt. Vernon, was
then called upon, and responded as
follow*
Ladies and (Jentlemrn:—I confess
you have taken me by surprise, as I was
not aware that 1 would hu called upon
to make any remarks on this occasion
and being u stranger among you, I am
at mi entire loss to know what to say
that would in any interest you after
what has been said by the worthy
brother who has just taken his seat. I
feel somewhat like the old gentleman,
who, when called upon by his minister
to repeat his catechism, became so de
cidedly mixed that he was unable to say
anything correctly. I will, however,
venture to say this Not only is it true
that woman exerts a mighty influence
in moulding the moral and intellectual
character of mankind, but it is equally
true that we all exert an influence, more
or less powerful, in the same direction.
Just as the waves, caused by dropping a
small pebble on the smooth surface of
the Uke, widen and march slowly nu
until they reach the shore, so our influ
ence is falling upon all those with whom
we come In contact, t}tu| is producing
effects, which time alone will never be
sufficient to reveal like these waves,
oui influence is widening and spreading
every day, until at last when time shall
be no more, its effect will be seen upon
the shores of eternity. Here before us
we have a living example of how power
may be obtained to so direct it. One
hundred years have gone in tbe life of
her whose birthday we have met to cel
ebrate, and yet the Lord has not forsa
ken her, or left her destitute in her
declining years, but is still communica
ting to ber of the riches of his grace,
whereby she has beeu enabled through
a long and useful life to let her light so
shine before others, that they have Been
her good works, and, I hope, haveglori
fled her Father iu heaven. Let us thent
my friends, draw nigh to the throne of
mercy, that we may find grace to help
us to exert our influence iu the Interests
of Christ and bis kingdom, so that when
we have run our race and finished our
course, it niay be said to us Well
done, thou good ami faithful servant,
Ihou hast huen faithful avtf A few
things, I will make thee ruler over many
things, enter thou Into the Joy of thy
Lord."
After addresses, Rev. Mr. 'f\ closed
the exercises with prayer.r

—Competition in the grain and lum
ber business continues lively. Large
quantities of corn are brought in daily,
but the price has tumbled down to
twenty-two cents. Wonder if bujers
•t twenty-six cents feel "corned."
—The new restaurant over the P. O.
is doing a good business, snd does it
well. Houghton sells fresh oysters at
45 cts. per can.
—The town well has been sunk
twenty feet, and plenty of water ob
tained..
—The improvement in price brought
a fair number of hogs into market du
ring the latter part of last week. Four
car loads were shipped from this place
on Thursday and the same number on
Friday. Three of the cars on Friday,
shipped by Maley A Hoyman, took 138
hogs, averaging over 360 lbs each.
—It was very naughty in "Many
Citizens" to stir up the bile of our local
(published at Clarence) paper. The
guilty parties, whoever they are, ought
to send in their names at once snd then
quit the country, or commit suicide.
There can be no peace for them in this
life while the
Express
lives to denounce
their villainy. The summary manner
in which they have been brought to
grief fills the breast of public sentiment
with deep and lasting satisfaction.

—Winter, with its snow and ice,
will soon be here. The com is nearly
all gathered the stables, sheds and
other out-buildings have all been
inspected and put in good trim. We
who live in Massillon are mostly
farmers, and farmers are generally glad
to see winter coming. It gives time
for rest and relaxation, and to visit our
friends and relatives abroad.
—We have the prospect of an unusu
ally good school this winter Mr. F. A.
Gates is the teacher. It will commence
the 1st of Dec.
By the way of railroad news we may
say that a depot is to be built here soon.
Scales for weighing grain and stock will
be in operation next week. An engine
bringing down the train from Oxford,
ran off the track near the residence of
John Myers, on Friday evening the 3d.
No one was hurt, but the engine and
tender were badly damaged. On Wed
nesday of last week, as the foreman of
the "surface gang" were coming down
to dinner on
a
is
plenty here this fall, and
those who sport with dog and gun are
well repaid for their trounle.
Would it not be well for the count}'
to furnish constables with copies of tbe
Laws of Iowa? They are certainly much
needed and would save much time and
trouble. JONES.
