The Business Mems Association has
been in correspondence with the ofii-
Gals of the Chicago Great Western for
some time in regard to the establish
ment of division at this place, and last
week they received a definite PROPOSE
ton from the company, which agreed to
locate such division here providing the
town would donate lands required for
the round house, machine shops and
other buildings and side tracks. The
location fixed upon included a tract of
about eight acres south and east OF the
crossing OF the NJ. C. & +. d. and b.. c.

there 300 feet wide and about two miles
In length. The tract mentioned on which
the buildings are to be erected is part
of the Denison farm, and Saturday a
committee appointed for that purpose
obtained an option for the tract at 49,

j. B. Seavey's handsome B B. base
horn that he plays In the band has
quite a history. 1t took first prize ut
the centennial exposition in Philadel-
pfia in 1876, and was considered then
the finest horn of Its kind In the world.
Mr.. Seaveys brother fell in love with
1t and persuaded his mother to buy
1t for him, the price being $500. The
neighbors ridiculed the idea, but the
mother had faith in the boys talent
and got him the horn. He has never
played anything since but a b. horn,
and for years in Sousa S band been con-
sidered the finest player on this instru-
ment in this country. A year ago he
sold his old horn to his brother for the
Algonn band for SIS, but he said in
sending 1t that 1t was the best he ever
owned. New and more convenient
shapes have been introduced, but no
better music comes from them. The
old horn still shows its silver plating
and Algona's Seavey is not slow when

Monday afternoon a woman who said
she had come in from the country on a
Chicago Great Western train, and who
had basket on her arm with q small
shawl over something that was in 1t, ac-
costed a lady on the street, asking her
IL she could direct her to q certain hos
pital. The lady informed her how she
could reach the hospital. The woman
from the country then volunteered the
Information that she lived in the coun-
try and that she came in from the coun-
try distance of twenty-six miles to
place an infant in the hospital. and,
when the Dubuque lady inquired where
the infant was, she replied: I've got It
in this basket" She then went on to
say that early Sunday morning she
heard what she thought were the cries
OF an infant, and listening for a while
became convinced that she was not mis-
taken. She got up, dressed herself and,
opening the front door, found the bas-
ket on the step. She took IT into the
house, removed the shawl and found a
male child about month old. Her as
tonishment, as may we'll be imagined,
was great. She lifted the little one out
of the basket, in one corner of which
was bottle OF milk with q rubber tube
in the end; and, on making further
search, she found q note, reading as fol-
lows: Take this baby to hos
pital. 1t will be all right" She did not
say whether or not there was any money
in the basket to pay her for her trouble
in bringing the child to Dubuque; but,
II there was not, the case was an excep-
tional one. for, as a rule, in cases of
this character, money is left with the
child to pay the person finding the child
for such Inconvenience as may result in
carrying out the request of the person
the child. The woman did
rot give the name of the place where
she resided, but it must be some place
near the line of the Great Western. in
this county, either in the northern or
western part.
