nell and Columbia to Meet.
The representatives of the rowing inter-
ests of Columbia, Cornell and the Un:ver-
sity of Pennsylvania will meet in New York
soon to discuss their annual tri-cornered
eight-oared race. Should Harvard and Yale
choose to send delegates to the meeting
they would receive a cordial welcome, but
1t is said there is small chance Of their rep
resentatives receiving a formal invitation
to attend the deliberations OF the rowing
magnates of the three other colleges.
In fact, it was stated by Guy Richards,
the Columbia representative, that Yale and
Harvard had not been invited to attend
the meeting, but that all overtures from
them tending toward the arrangement of a

in the establishment of what diplomats call

Discussing this matter. Mr.. Richards
said: This scheme for a f1ve-corn cred race

UP GOES WHALEBONE.
1t Has Been n Poor Season for the
Whalers.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
The catch of the arctic fleet amounted in
all to twenty-six whales, the smallest
known in many years. The yield of bone
from the catch will be about 10000 pounds
which means that whalebone will be high
this year Bone is now selling at $2.75 a
pound and it is estimated that the price
will be advanced to s. before the sale be-

the family circle. They arrived by
train Saturday night.
Burchell, the dry goods merchant
and banker of Erie, is about to erect
a handsome brick business block,
which is to be an ornament to the
place. 1t will find employment for
quite a number of both mechanics
and laborers. John Neer, of Joslin,
has contracted to handle the rock for

William Cox, son OF the late Jesse

morning for the purpose of feeding
and currying his horses as usual.
but discovered the curry-comb and
brush were missing. On further in
vestigation he likewise made the dis
covery that two sets of harness were
gone, and up to this writing it is a
mystery what has become of them.
Charles Whitehead. whom, it will
be remembered, went to his father in
California last fall for the benefit of
his health. being a sufferer from con-
sumption, returned last Tuesday to
his former home with Elder Vande-
burg. 1t is sad to state that Charles
is mere shadow of his former self,
and has not received any benefit from
the air of the Pacific slope. He is
not likely to recover.
The United Brethren held their
quarterly meeting at Joslin Saturday
last. but the attendance was small
on account of the inclemency of the

Campers from Galesburg arrived
by the Tuesday morning train from
Rock Island. making connections at
Barstow. Judging from their man
ners, dress and conversation. it APP
peared as if they wished to be con-
sidered high-toned, and that they
evidently looked upon the people of
this community as being in some
way outside of civilization. They
were finally, in n measure, paralyzed
by seeing in the depot Chicago
Record for the same day.
The gentleman of whom we wrote
last week who came from Kansas,
and who was put off the train as 4
lousy tramp; who was robbed of $40,
and who had to pawn his watch to
pay his hotel bill in Rock Island, and
who footed it up to Joslin on his way
to Sterling. and for whom n collec-
ton was taken up. has been heard
from. His lawyer, II. j. Dalman, of
Wisconsin. writes to Mr.. Hubbart,
our telegraph operator. returning
the amount in full that was collected
for him at Joslin, and stating that
Joseph Endres is man of consider
able means; that he travels good
deal, went all through the war with
Sherman and never cheated man
out of cent in his life. In all
probability we are destined to hear
more from this case.

GALESBURG'S CLAIM.
Reasons Advanced by the Knox Count,
Seat for the New Hospital,

Reasons Advanced by the Knox County
Seat for the New Hospital.
The Galesburg Register. comment
ing on the report and appeal OF the
committee Of the Rock Island county
board of supervisors on the strength
of its recent visit to Springfield in
the interest of the removal of the
new Western Insane hospital to Rock
Island. saws:
The hospital will require 40 acres
of ground, which indicates that the
institution will be big thing. The
state has expended several million
dollars in kankakee. so it will be
seen that the location of a similar
institution here is not to be sneezed
at. Again, the cost of taking insane
patients to Jacksonville. averaging
$40 in each case, would be saved to
the taxpayers of the county, which
of itself is a considerable item. And
these are only mentioned incident
ally to indicate the Importance of the
matter to the community. No time
should be lost to secure the chance
which is practically within our reach.
In other words. the contest has mar
rowed down to two points, Rock
Island and Moline being considered
as one and Galesburg the other.
This being the case, Galesburg should
use every honorable means to secure
the asylum. Whatever proposition
other cities may offer. Galesburg
should make one that is better. This
city has number of advantages. 1t
lies between the Illinois and Missis-
slppi rivers as the. bill requires. Its
location is absolutely healthy. The
drainage is good. A large tract oil
well-disposed land as regards surface
can be secured. The citizens will
eagerly lend their cooperation to any
scheme that promises to secure to i,
this great institution. 1t is believed
that Gov. Altgeld is not unfriendly
to Galesburg.
Influential Work.
lin this connection it should be
said that Galesburg's interests in
this matter have for several months
been in the hands of an intelligen,
and influential committee of citizens,
who can be depended on to take good
care of Galesburg claims. All tina,
is now needed is that the citizens
should be prepared to back them up
in whatever they do. As to the
merits of the three cities, regarding
those peculiar qualifications de.
manded by a great institution, like
the asylum, the commissioners will
be amply qualified to decide. The
committee no doubt has made a
study of Galesburg and is amply
equipped to prove its advantages.
This is a matter OF very great mo-
ment to the people of Galesburg. and
from now on no stone should be left
unturned to secure this great insti-
tuition. Galesburg has a chance to
get this asylum. and must get it"
1t behooves the local committee to
get up and dust if it wants this in.
