iginated in the brain of Updegraff, and
that it contemplates making Dubuque,

The Third Dist Editorial Associa-
ton convened at Lansing, Allamakee
county, on Teusday afternoon of this
week, Feb. II. Although the attend
ance was not so large as was anticipat-
ed or hoped, yet, in point of benefit and
interest displayed, the meeting was one
of the most successful yet held by the
Association. Thirteen newspapers
were represented An impromptu re-
ception was gotten up by the citizens
of Lansing on Tuesday evening, the ex-
ercises consisting of addresses by mem
bers of the press and citizens, music,
and social time generally. The mem
bers Of the local press were untiring in
their efforts for the comfort and enjoy
ment of their bretheren, and we think
they succeeded admirably. The next
place Of meeting was fixed for this city,
and the time, the second Tuesday in
August. Part of the editors returned
home on Wednesday afternoon, and
those who could spare the time, remain
