The Daily Gazette Davenport, Iowa Friday Morning August 29, 1862 (Part 2) Charging for Exempt Certificates.-The examining surgeon of Des Moines county advertised in the Hawkeye that he will hear applications for certificates of physical disability, but requires one dollar in advance from each applicant. That chap is bound to make this office pay its way law or no law. His authority to charge a dollar is as good as to charge a hundred and not any better. The examinations are to be free of charge to the applicant , as we understand the regulations. If the charge were lawful, it would not be objectionable perhaps, but entirely illegal as it is, it is nothing but extortion. >From the Interior.-Col. Gifford received yesterday from the Amana Society, Homestead, for hospital use, two crates and thirty barrels of vegetables. A few days ago, Col. G. received from the same source nineteen barrels of vegetables, and two crates and two barrels of dried fruit. The call for these articles is being and will be responded to liberally from all quarters. War Meetings! Public Meetings will be held as follows on the evenings of this week. At Princeton, Wednesday 27th At Buffalo, Thursday 28th At Dixon, Friday 29th At Davenport, Saturday 30th. Adj. Gen. Baker and other good speakers will be in attendance at these meetings. LOST. About the 23d of July, two knapsacks fastened together with the straps, both well filled with clothing, &c. Also, one rifle musket, large in the bore, wrapped in two blankets and an overcoat and bound with a rope. There is a small paper lable (sic) on the outside blanket, with W. H. or William Spencer, Ft. DesMoines, Iowa. One of the knapsacks has a lable (sic) of it fastened with a small leather, on which is W. H. Spencer, Carlisle, Warren county, Iowa, and I believe also, 10th Iowa Regiment, Co. B. Any person giving me information of the same, or expressing them to Des Moines City, Iowa, will be amply rewarded. Said articles were lost in Davenport.~~W. H. Spencer.
