Monti the town sparks a political shakeup in Anamosa
Last week Hunt praised Monti and targeted Anamosa in a Republican convention, naming Lovell Wales and others for offices while sparing HL D. Smith. Now Mant sits in sackcloth as the Democratic county convention reshapes power, with Lawrence Cass and Kenedy Washington named supervisors, coroner, and surveyor, and Hunt livid at the reorganized slate.

Dungan and the Methodists in Os kaloosa
The piece rebuts Dungan’s claim of infidelity erased by his lectures at Oskaloosa College and his harsh critique of Methodism. It cites the 1873 pastorate, calls his preaching pugnacious, and labels him a bigot and clerical mountebank while praising the Methodist Church’s wartime service and civic contributions.
