The above communication Is from
prominent citizen Of the State Of ken'uc'
~, and We sincerely regret TIM. an unu
saal press Of Office business and the pres
ent all absorbing political anxiety. prevent
Us from giving as full and satisfactory n
statement, in reply to oar correspondent,
as we should desire to DO. But We shall
take an early occasion 10 give the subject
the consideration that its Importance de
mands. At present we will give few
facts und figures with reference to The Du
buque & Pacific railroad. and at some fu
ture time we will give n statement Of the
condition and prospects Of the Iowa Cen
:ral Air Line railroad, which, by an act
of our late Legislature, is placed on a
better footing than it has heretofore oc
cupied.
The Dubaqne L Pacific railroad con.
meets Dubuque, on the Mississippi river,
with Sioux City, on the Missouri river, y
distance Of about $50 miles. The district
Of country traversed by this road is as FER
tile. healthful, aud we'll wa,ered as any
portion Of the State, and is particularly
adapted to oil the purposes Of agriculture
and grazing. About one third Of the road
is graded, and will coon be ready for the
cars; and when we consider the vas,
amount Of valuable lands lying adjacent,
and belonging to the road and az these
lands are mostly situated along the I'm
finished portion Of the road. we have eve.
~ reason to believe that the entire work
will be pushed forward 10 All early com
pletion.
BY the Land Grant, this road gets
l.2ji ,0l0 acres Of land and by a la'e de
cisio" Of the Suprem me Court of the United
States. in the case of " Lilchfield vs.. the
d. j. p. X. Il. Co." it comes into posses
sion OF $4,000 acres of very valuable
lands on the Des Moines river, formerly
claimed by the IS Des Moinss River Com
pany, amounting in all to l,3s4,O4o
acres. And in addition to this. the com q.
pany owns valuable city property amount
ing to about one million Of dollars. A
large proportion Of these lands lie between
the Des Moines river aud Sioux City, and
all within fifteen miles of the road. We
are no, advised as to the amount Of the
stock subscribed upon the books Of the
Company, but understand i. to be quite
large. ..a.
The manner Of raising money to com
plete the work, is similar TO that adopted
by the Illinois Central railroad Company.
The real estate Of this company, n, a very
moderate estimate. will amount to about
four and a half millions Of dollars, which
sh ,uld be ample security for the compile
ton OF the unfinished portion of the road

ted exclusively to the interests of Freemasonry is
now commencing its second volume, under the
same prosperous auspices as before. Mr. Robert
Morris continues as senior editor, with the same
intelligent corps of associate and assistant editors.
Mr. E. d. Cooke continues his travels through the

From the columns of the Voice we learn that
there are now 4,eo2 Masonic Lodges in the United

from the Paw Paw True Northerner that an extern
sive fire occurred in the village of Lawrence, Van
Buren, County, on Saturday evening last, involv-
ing the loss of more than half of the business
portion of the place. Seven buildings, including
stores, shops and post Office, were totally des-
troyed. without dollar of insurance covering any
of it. The fire, as near as we ascertain, origi-
mated from defective chimney in the store of the
Messrs Chadwick whose loss is estimated at 81 900
1t is said to have been the most severe fire that
has ever occurred in Lawrence and in the county
for the last eight years.

DEDICATION AND REcoeN,r,oN

DEDICATION AND RECOGNITION
On Wednesday of last week the new and beautiful
meeting house belonging to the First Universalist
Society, OF this place, was solemnly dedicated to
the worship of Almighty God, and to purposes Of
religious instruction; in an interesting discourse
by Rev. D. P. Livermore, of Chicago. After which
a statement was made concerning the financial CON:
dition of the Society, by the Clerk. From this
statement we obtain the following particulars:
The whole cost of house and lots up to date "a ann
io'ai aihou"' Vi SUBSCRIPTION 2,516
Leaylng an Indebtedness against the
society OF s17s4
1t was proposed by the Clerk that this indebted
ness be cancelled at once by cash, or notes run-
ming from one to nine months. Eleven hundred
dollars were thus cancelled in a few minutes. AT
the conclusion Of discourse in the evening by
Rev. O. c. Richardson from Tecumseh. two hun
dred dollars more of this indebtedness was provi-
ded for, still leaving debt of $3.50 against the
Society
This Society was organized on the fifth of Janu-
airy, 1889, and numbers now fifty five members.
On Thursday, the day following the dedication
of their house. the Society held its first annual
meeting, at which A. H. Reed and G. s. Wilbur
were elected Trustees for the ensuing three years.
A Church was then organized within the Society
composed of twenty-three members. In the after
noon of the same day, highly instructive sermon
was preached by Rev. j. H. Tuttle, at the conclu-
sion of which the Church and Society were for
mally recognized as component members of the
Universalist denomination, by the administration
of the Lords supper. The meeting then broke up
with demonstrations of great good feeling and in
creased interest the part of those who had taken
part in the services. We made minute of this,
to somewhat unusual demonstration among
Universalists, as sign of the times.
