In 1850 Killian Nan Rensselaer,, a pearl
merchant OF Amsterdam, organized a COM
pany that secured tract of land extending
back forty eight miles from the river and
south on both sides of the river for twenty
four miles. Killian was the largest share
holder in this company, and it was not long
after that he squeezed out the others In
the same way other PATRONS, as they were
called, staked off tracts Of land on the Hud-

The city had a guarantee fund of $500, 600
for the expenses of this monster festival.
The fashion of holding saengerfest comes
from Germany, and is of ancient origin.
Formerly in the fatherland the singers of
different places would meet to sing in COM

was the origin Of the saengerfest.

down through. The netting hammock
was safely secured to the sides of the bar
rel with ropes, so that the man inside could
not be too tremendously bumped while
tossed about in the whirlpools. Opposite
the shoulders were two holes. Through
these he thrust his hands and grasped two
iron loops in the sides of the barrel, to
steady himself. The barrel slaves were one

Society ladies predict very successful
reign for our republican queen, and it is the
general opinion of people here that the char
acter of the administration may be greatly
changed by her. President Cleveland lacks
personal magnetism. This Mrs. Cleveland
seems to have in abundance. 1t may be that
she will turn out second Dolly Madison or
Abigail Adams, and that she will be as much
of an element in the political workings of the
country as the president. So far no one ex-
cept Dan Lamont has been able to get at all
near to Cleveland, and Lamont is closer than
the closest clam in influencing the president
or in saying anything about what he will or
will not do. There is no doubt that Mrs.
Cleveland will have the interest of her hus-
band at heart, and she has certainly made the
administration more popular in Washington
already for being in it.

ROUTE
AS shown by the map, water way al
ready extends from Chicago to Hennepin,
formed for 100 miles by the Illinois and
Michigan canal to La Sale; from the latter
point to Hennepin the Illinois river is util-
lied. The existing canal has been presented
to the government on the event of the bill
becoming law. This canal as well as the
Illinois river, will have to be widened and
deepened, but the great engineering work
will be on the locks necessary in the pro-
posed canal, as there are two elevations. one
of 2Os feet and another of 140 feet in the line
of the canal, and over which the commerce
will have to be carried.
This canal is to be free, and it is expected
that offering from st. Paul, Minneapolis
and the great grain growing section. an all
water route to Chicago and through the
lakes and Erie canal to New York, that it
will be beneficial competitor to the rail-
roads.

In the second round Conley tOed the scratch breathing hard but he went desperately to work letting go his right and left suecessively for Ashtons head. Ashton met the onslaugh with both powers and got in some terrible blows. In the third and last round Ashton came cheerfully to the scratch but Conley was less firm on his pins. It was a mere continuation of hard slugging and hugging, constantly brok en by the referee. During one of the embraces Sheriff Tibbits jumped in the ring and waved his cane sending the men back into their cornors and closing the fight.
