In the year 1882, when the State Of
Illinois was but fourteen years Of age.
there was on the south bank Of Rock
River, sixty.fve miles above its mouth,
frontier post called Dixon's Ferry.
John Dixon, from whom the ferry de-
rived Its name, lived there. entertain.
Ing travellers, operating the ferry. and
trading with those who jOurneyed to
and from the mining districts and the
Indians. With the Indians, writes Mfr.
Stevens In his account Of the Black
Hawk War, he was particularly pop.
ular, and became their counselor and
arbitrator, and likewise their banker.
He was equally well liked BY the
whites. and when the time came to no
speak their affection, there was no un.
certainty respecting the judgment. His
influence became 30 great that In the
year 1910, when Galena was the politi.
cal and commercial power of the North.
west, he took from that place to bis
own town the United States land office.
When the subject Of removal was
first preached It appeared SO ridiculous.
ly impossible that there was no pro.
test from Galena but laughter; but
John DixOn's tavern was stronger than
the politics and commercial prestige of
the frontier metropolis. Alone he jour.
neyed to Washington, and upon his re-
quest. backed by no one, the office. which
ut that time was the most important
national Office In the State and that
which carried the most political infiu.
encc. was removed to Dixon.
Dixon's venerable personality, his
charming sweetness of disposition. his
rugged honesty, and possibly his little
account book, were altogether too pow.
erful for the antagonists Of those
rugged days.
One entry In his account book char.
acteristic Of the times Is, "Col. Y. Tay.

The hero Of more than one war and
afterward President Of the United
States, 1t appears. settled an account
Of six dollars and fifty cents by giving
his note Of hand. But the note was
paid when II was due.
Gen. Winfield Scott also appears In
this account book, and the settlement
sf his accounts was performed with
The precision one would expect from
the dlgnified soldier.
