for us and the "balance of mankind" a change
has come over the spirit of their dreams. Du-
buque is now the first, st. Paul the second,
Bellevue the third and Galena the fourth place
of importance on the Upper Mississippi. Well,
so the world goes-every dog has his day, it is
said and as Galeua has played kind Of dog
