Harrison, Carter ana Altgeld All Exc
press Confidence of Election.
Chicago, April THE vote to be poll
ed by John II. Altgeld in the mayoralty
election today is admitted by all parties
to be the most undecided factor, and
yet it is thing upon which all three
candidates, Harrison DEM, Carter
tRep) and Altgeld lind. Dem.), are bas'
ing their hopes of final success. The
Altgeld men say their candidate, who is
standing upon the Chicago platform, will
secure all the straight silver Democratic
vote, and will certainly be elected They
allow him 100000 votes.
In the headquarters Of the Harrison
faction there is the greatest confidence.
They say that there is not the slig,'.cst
doubt of the mayors reelection. They
give him 10000 votes as against 1O0,-
600 for Carter and 10000 for Altgeld.
In tho Republican camp the estimate
is: Carter, 100000; Harrison, 100000;
Altgeld, $4,000. They claim Altgeld will
draw enough votes from Harrison to
elect Carter beyond daubt.

In which the smaller bird won. When the

released five birds. Among them was the

The pigeons rose into the air and circlotl
several times. -Four Of them turned to.

the Duke Of Richmond, was seen to firt
and drop toward the Piedmont Then the

short distance in the lead. AS If by in.
stinct, he dropped straight for the place
where his master had released him, and
landing upon the ladies deck of the Pied
mont, futtered through the cabin door,
The sea eagle was so confident that it
would strike its prey that it did not check
Its pursuit until within ten feet Of the

suddenly and winged its way back toward
Goat island.
Once inside the cabin tho frightened

THE. PASSING OF kAskAsklA.
Tho First Capital Of Illinois washeA
AWAY by the MisklAhinni River

The last vestiye Of what was once the
city of Kaskasllia the first capital of the
state Of Illinois and the metropolis Of the
west, will have disappeared in the Missis.
sippi within few days. There are now
only a few hundred feet Of the old corporate
limits Of the town left, and the land Is
fast caving into the Mississippi.
Ever since tho Mississippi river cut
through the peninsula above the old town
in 1852 and formed junction with the
kaskaskia or Okaw river, eight miles
above the place where it originally omptied
into the Mississippi, the waters have been
washing away the land upon which the
town stood until now the last trace of the
historic old place has almost disappeared
The residence of Governor Bond, the
first governor of the state Of Illinois, was
washed into the river about three years
ago, and all tho old buildings, with their
quaint, old fashioned French colonial
architecture, have one by one followed the
Bond residence till now u few ruins over
hanging the brink of tho river are all that
remain of what was once city of $1,000
people, the capital first of a territory and
later of u state.
The church Of kaskaskia was torn down
and removed several years ago, and last
fall the ground upon which it once stood
was washed away. Tho Cid gaveyards,
OF which there were three, are gone. They
originally contained thousands of kaskas.
kia's dead, most of whom were dirinterred
and removed TO new cemetery on the
bluffs opposite the old town. Through
the efforts Of ex-senator Rickert, who in
PRODUCED a bill for that purpose in the Hi.
nois legislature. they now rest where the
waters cannot reach them, but many were
left behind and washed ont by the river.
The passing Of kaskusl;ia closes an
epoch in the history of the west, for with
It's disappearance the most important Mnd.
marks Of French colonization in the mid.
die west will have disappeared. Chicago

Nj. Flurd of Pine street, Lewiston, her
cousin, returned home Friday. There
is a singular circumstance connected
with her husbands family history. His
grandfather, jeremiah, had brother,
Amos and they jointly owned the Dex-
ter WOODEN Mill They had each a
son, Job and George, respectively, who
succeeded their fathers in like owner
snip. Job and George had each a son,
Arthur and Walter. respectively. who
succeeded their fathers in the owner
snip of the mill, and are its present
proprietors. And now the line bids fair
to continue unbroken for another and
fourth generation, at least, for each of
these sons has son, Masters Jere and
George, respectively, who will probably
follow their fathers, grandfathers and
greatgrandfathers in their business. In
these days of scattered families and
varied occupations, it is refreshing to
note such an instance of adherence to
the same home town and the same pur-
suits. 1t was Mr.. George Abbott who
gave Dexter its present public library
building.-Lewiston Journal.
