devotion to the cause of Sunday
schools. and is worthy of one of the
best conventions ever held in the
county. We a. assured that moths

preparation for music and ample
entertainment which the good peo~
pie of this community can do.

Capt Willard Glazier recently gave
lecture in Davenport on The pioneers OF
the Mississippi" He did not visit this city.
He is represented as floating down the
river from its source to the Gulf of Mex
leo in a canoe and varies the monotony OF
such a trip by lecturing at the several
points along his route. The Peoria Jour-
nal gives him the following send off which
will probably advertise him better than
any of his former efforts to secure motor
iety.
Capt" Willard Glazier, scamp who
claims to have been soldier, who is the
author of several trashy publications, writ
ten by hired scribblers and sold to the pub
lie by methods which are contemplate, is
in Keokuk, where, If justice be done him,
he will be driven from the town by volleys
of ancient eggs. This Capt. Glazier is an
unprincipled scoundrel and consumate
fraud. His betrayal of Edith Her
rick, a near relative of his own, and his
subsequent brutal treatment of her, stamps
him as one who should be booted from
the companionship of all decent men. The
Captain always has some scheme on
hand TO achieve notoriety. Sometimes it
is horseback ride from Boston to San
Francisco, then it is q similar excursion
from New York to Cape Horn, and next q
tour to discover the source of the Missis-
sippi. These schemes never go further
than newspaper announcements OF his de-
sign; but a. all the end he has in view is to
have his name well advertised they answer
