building and was fully covered by insurance.
Graham had his household effects insured
for S400in companies represented by Hayes

Smith had just moved in the house from
Davenport during the afternoon. and his
loss was quite severe and was not covered
by insurance.
Quite a scene occurred during the pro-
gress of the fire, by the report that one of
the small children was still in the house
asleep. The mother was naturally frantic
about her child, but the little fellow was
found safe and sound in a building across
the street.

ANNIVERSARY.

The following proclamation from L. J.
Glenn, the Grand Sire of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows viii explain ITSELF
To all to ,oltom these presents may come,
greeting:
The twenty-sixth day of April, 1882, viii
mark the termination of sixty-three years
of the existence of the Independent Order
of Odd Fellows in America. During this
period, wonderful changes have been
wrought in our ranks. The fathers have
passed away, and few who became MEM
beers of this brotherhood during the first
decade of its existence remain with us.
Within the last twelve months, the An
gel of Death has removed from our midst
many of our best beloved and most earnest
workers; and Of all who toiled for our or
der in its infancy, devoting time, talent and
influence to its advocacy, the brightest
mark of the unerrings archer was our cher
ished and revered Grand Secretary, James
L. Ridgely, who three short months ago
was called from time to eternity.
Notwithstanding the habiliments of woe,
TO commemorate this sad event, have been
but recently removed from our encamp
ment and lodge rooms, it seems eminently
proper that the time -honored usage of the
order should be respected, and the memoir
able day venerated by all true Odd Fellows.
be remembered by the brethren assem-
bling, as heretofore, to welcome the birth
day of our order and render homage to the |
Giver of all good, for the bountiful pros,
perity with which we have been blessed
Therefore, /, Luther j. Glenn, Grand /
Sire, by authority of the Sovereign Grand |
Lodge do hereby recommend all grand and |
subordinate bodies of the order to celebrate |!
the twenty sixth day of April, 1882, as |
the twenty third anniversary of Odd Eel |
lowship in America, by defeating the &c
casion to appropriate exercises, and
to Almighty God. for his man
fold blessings to our order individually /
and collectively.

Latest advices from Washington, ~Ee-
garding the progress of the Hennepin Ca

authorizing the immediate construction of
the canal was presented yesterday, to the
committee on railways and canals, OF the
House of representatives. Its advocates
are now disposed to think that with prop
er management, favorable decision will
be obtained during the present session.
Hon. Jesse SpauldinG, collector of the
port of Chicago, arrived in Washington on
the 28th He visits Washington partly on
business pertaining to his office, but chiefly
to lend helping hand in securing from
congress an appropriation for the Henne-
pin and Rock Island canal He has gone
to work with great activity 10 secure the
appropriation. He says that the unanim-
ity of sentiment throughout the entire
west in favor of the construction of the
canal by the general government is I'M
precedented, and that public sentiment
there demands of the representatives of
all that portion of the country their sup
port of the bill making the appropriation.

were two laborers engaged at work in the
same place at Milan. Peterson had some

awoke and found that his hard earned
wealth had disappeared. His co-laborer
had also made himself scarce and Peterson
naturally thought that Chairman had car
ried off the money.
Yesterday Peterson came into this city
and also visited Davenport. In the latter
city he discovered Chairman, and he caus-

LOCAL NOTES.
The Visit Of Hon. John B.
HaWley last Night.
Arrival of the Iron for the
Milan Bridge.
The investigating Committee
at its Private Session.
POLITICAL POINTS,

Hon. John B. Hawley, of Chicago, was
in this city. his former home, last
evening, ostensibly on legal business, but
in reality to look after his chances as the
republican nominee for governor of Illi-
nois.
Mr.. Hawley represented this district in
congress for number of terms and also
labored for his country and party as as
sistant secretary of the treasury. He has
lately become impressed with the idea that
he is the very man that the republican
party needs as its standard-bearer in the
gubneratorial fight, and with this impress
sion strong upon him, he has intimated
that he is willing to emerge from private
life and sacrifice his law business in order
that the party in Illinois may have res
pectable candidate fer governor. He nat
urally expects little boom from his old
congressional district, as he hopes that the
little animosities which existed when he
resided in the district have died out, and
that all factions will become a unit in pre-
senting his name before the state convcn-
ton. He spent yesterday in Moline, and
last night was in consultation with some
OF the politicians in this city. 1t is not
known that the district possesses any other
gubernatorial timber, and the different Coun-
ties comprising the district, are supposed
to be friendly to his aspirations. 1t is
claimed that the delegates will largely vote
for Mr.. Hawley for the nomination of
chief executive of the state of Illinois.
