OLD SETTLERS.

AT the Henry Count Old Settlers picnic
held in Geneseo last week, Messrs Dunlap
and Philleo of this city made short adj
dresses. The former said that he felt
great pleasure in meeting with the Henry
county association. He spoke of the hos
pitality of the early settlers, and related the
following of his experience. He came
here poor; had nothing but a good trade;
he went to work and laid up little, and
sought helpmate. They had little or
nothing of the worlds goods; for bread he
grated corn, for meat he depended on his
gun.
Mr. Philleo expressed himself as glad to
meet with the old settlers of Henry. Way
back in 1886 when he cume up the Missis-
sippi he met on the boat Mr.. Kincaid,
who had the iron for saw and grist mill
that he erected on the Edwards river. He
related an incident of meeting Aft. Perry
at Mother Boone's stage station on the
Monmouth road, who subsequently won
one of the old ladies' daughters for a bride.
Mr.. Philleo also exhibited a goldheaded
cane, which is carried by the president o;
the Rock Island association during his
term of Office. The stick is piece of an
old flagstaff from the island. presented by
the Davenport family. Each successive
presidents name is engraved on the cane,
which now contains sixteen names.

ADJUSTMENTS.
NLINsTREI.s.

Only fair audience was assembled at
Harpers theatre last Saturday evening to
witness the performance of Rice 81 Hool-
ey's MINISTRIES. The first part introduced
Billy Rice in some of his comicalities, and
constituted the only redeeming feature of
the comedian department. The singing of
the Excelsior quartette was not of the high
est order of excellence. The olio brought
forward w. Henry Rice, one of the best fe-
male impersonators on the stage, as well
as Burt Quin, the ventriloquist. Billy Rice
also appeared and these three performers
with their song and dance team were the
only meritorious acts of the entertainment.
Some of the other performers allowed
their witticisms to degenerate into vulgar
ity, and as consequence some of the aud
iters left the hall. 1t is TO be regretted
that the average negro minstrel performer
cannot appear before the public without
indulging in indelicate remarks.

Andrews & Stockwells Pantomime COM
pany will appear at Harper's theatre. The
company is large and expensive one,
numbering over forty artists. The ever
popular pantomime, Humpty Dumpty, has
been reconstructed, and a number of new

sented by this esmpany, is called Humpty

geous transformation scene.

known that detectives, though a shrewd
set sometimes get as badly beaten at sea,
if not worse, than the common herd, and

brought up among us from infancy. and
Mr.. Pratt has held positions of trust and
confidence from boyhood, and no one has
ever known that he has ever betrayed such
trusts. He is member of one of our
most honored families. to which even his
arrest is a most cruel blow, His trial will
come off soon, probably to-day, and the
wish of everyone is that he may prove
himself er tirely innocent.

PECULIAR RUNAWAY.

The Monmouth Gazette gives the follow
ing particulars of an elopement from that
city,
At two o'clock last Thursday morning,
two young girls of this city took the trein
for Davenport, Iowa. This announce
ment in itself is not startling. But the pa
rents of the children were not aware of
their going, and that was what caused the
excitement. Many rumors were soon afioat,
and the father of one, hearing that she had
gone to Burlington to be married, was
soon in that city, but inquiry failed to de-
velop that she had gone that way. The
tracing of the runaways became easy when
it was found that the two were together i'll
their flight. Arrangements had been made
for the elder of the two to attend a convent
or boarding school at Davenport, and she
had induced the other girl to be her COM
panion during her term at the school. 1t
was evident to the minds of The
girls that the consent of the
parents of the younger could not be OBJ
tained SO the plan of running away was
decided upon. The older was alone at
home in charge of the house, and the girls
had ample opportunity to plan, pack and
get away. From what we learn, her
mother was not aware that she intended 10
nave companion from nome, at all. Inc
credit of the parents was used in fitting
themselves on. with wardrobe and the
adjustment of these bills awaits the ar
rival of the absent mother. The girls are
young, being about eighteen and sixteen,
thoughtless, good looking and incline to
be romantic, butt if the remorse following
this adventure doesn't teach 5them that
there are two phases in romance, we will
be disappointed in our estimation of the
young ladies. The two were found at the
convent on Friday. and one returned TO
Monmouth that evening In the company
of her father. AT the request of the
parents the names are suppressed this
time.

AN EXPLORER.

In noting the presence of Lieutenant
Schwatka in this city, the Peoria Journal
says:
Lieutenant Schwatka. the artic explorer
and the man who discovered the remains
of Sir John Franklin, is now stopping at
the Rock Island arsenal there, recruiting
his health. He is under orders to start for
Vancouver's island next week. He will
be here and attend the opening of the
Grand Opera House. Lieutenant Schwatka
was decorated by the British government
for his work in finding Franklins re-
mains, but our government did not allow
him to accept it. Congress has just voted
him compensation for his iabors. He I'M
dertobk3h his arGarous trip by cutting loose
from all his supplies and travelling across
the country, 5000 miles on ice in the same
manner as the Esquimaux. This feat was
never attempted by white men before. If
Lieutenant belong had done this he
would have come off much better than he
did. Schwatka did all this without the
loss of man.

ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The proposition made by the sub com
mittee of the city council to the directors
of the Electric Light company for an adj
ditional tower, was accepted by the COM
pany directors, and also received favorable
consideration at the hands of the select
committee of the council appointed to To-
cate the towers. The only change in the
plan first adopted by the committee is the
locating of the tower placed originally on
Third avenue and Seventeenth street on
Second avenue ana the same street, and
the changing of the tower from Twenty
first street and Sixth avenue TO twentieth
street and Sixth avenue. The new tower
will be located on Fourth avenue between
Twenty first street and Twenty third street.

The consideration. granted the company
is an extension of time for the completion
of the system from the 18th of October to
the 1st of December
The council will be called upon this
evening to adopt the plan, and it is
thought that this will be accomplished
without any difficulty.
