Mr and Mrs Bowser duel over knowledge and pride in a tense dinner room scene. She asserts a wife has equal rights and warns of dangers of male domination while he denounces her as meddlesome, finalizing with threats to separate and cautioning their child. A second theme laments independent ranking in politics and praises Secretary Gresham’s steadfast conduct amid criticism.
A Dubuque man plans to move a peculiar eight by seventeen feet rock, weighing over forty tons, from Cerro Gordo county to Massachusetts for a cemetery monument with an inscribed marker.

In a martial era reminiscence Gen Miles recalls a legendary 1861 poker game around a wagon train reportedly loaded with Confederate bonds and counterfeit money. Soldiers watched a massive pot reach hundreds of thousands, a jackpot rumor reaching a million, while the general notes the scene amused Union troops during a weary campaign.
A scarce medal linked to Napoleons aborted invasion of England is described. One specimen survived to posterity after Napoleon ordered the dies destroyed following the failure.

Editorial remarks attack President Cleveland era foes who slandered Secretary Gresham after his death.
