RESIGNATION OF J. L. DREW.
+, Rock IsIand's Land commissionor Qaits
After SO Years' Service.

After 50 Years' Service.
j. l. Drew, of Davenport, has,
owing TOLL health, resigned the posi-
ton of land commissioner of the
Rock Island road. 1t was in 1868
that Mr.. Drew left the Citizens Ma
tional bank of Davenport to become
assistant to Ebenezer Cook, then land
commissioner of the Rock Island sys-
tenn. Mr.. Drew became land COM
missioner on Mr.. Cooks death in
1871 and has filled the Office ever
since. At that time the road had
land grants amounting to 500, 900
acres or so, and under the direction
of Commissioner Drew these have
been practically all disposed of, the
aggregate of the transactions being,
probably, several millions of dol
lars. With the dwindling of the pusi-
ness of the Office in this line has come
determination on the part of the
management of the road to transfer
matters under it's direction to the
auditing department. DR.. Drew's
health for some time has been such
that he does not feel inclined to take
up new and active duties, and his
resignation has been sent in. Papers
have been received putting into
effect the transfer to the auditors de-
partment, and the changes to be made
in connection with this trans fer will
probably be announced by circular by
June 1.
William LaVenture. who has been
Mr.. Drew's assistant for many years,
has been appointed acting land COM
and will look after the
up of the business of the Of
flee. which may necessarily be ex-
tended over several years, while he
will continue to be the tax agent of
the company as heretofore.

Des Moines. Iowa, May II. - The
State Republican convention was held
here yesterday, and those who at

but the Eleventh district selected by
reclamation. The platform was adopt
ed unanimously. 1t sends the Iowa
delegation to the Quaker City I'm

administration in all it's acts and poll
cies and favors protective legislation
against trusts and combination In re-
straint Of trade. For new possessions
the platform fayors the extension OF
the privilege Of self-government as
rapidly as they demonstrate their ca
pacity TO exercise it.
