Hundreds left the party at Rock Island, and
returned to Chicago, or went to st. Louis as
they could not endure tie packing that await
ed them. As a general thing the party have
enjoyed themselves vastly, and all are loud in
their praise of the magnificent scenery of the
Upper Mississippi. In such a party there are

No such problem of destiny has ever yet been
wrought out.
If we mistake not. this Rock Island eXcuy-
