Although the day was -hot dusty and dry everybody seemed to be good natural and enjoy- joying tho fun. Tho visitors will bo sure of a good time for tho Germania society of this city are noted for doing well all that they undertake, and their efforts are ably seconded by nearly all of our citizens.

Blake and wife left to-day for San Diegp, California, where they will make 'their headquarters for the present.

Hockford is increased from $2,900 to $3,000 and is raised to a first class office; Elgin goes down from $2,900 to Joliet remains as it is, and so does Aurora. Will Ford, son of Walter Ford, who has been employed in May nurd's for some time as a clerk, lias resigned his position there and will enter the German Insurance office.

The young people will go to housekeeping at once in the house which the groom recently bought of W. Klock. They received a number of nice presents, among them being an elegant parlor set from the, groom's associates in the German Insurance olllce.

Mrs. Thoren is well known among the young people of our city where she has spent all her life, and is a young lady who lias always been held in high esteem by her ft Sends, and we know she will make a dutiful and companionable wife. Mr. Thoren is employed in the German Insurance olllco and is a quiet, unobtrusive young man who commands the respect of all who know him We hope tho young couple will have a joyous and prosperous journey through life. A Worthy Man.

Last night at tho young people's meeting at Embury church, the young people of the church presented Mr. L. W. Klock with a handsome Oxford Bible. Hev.

J. A. Matlaek made the presentation speech in a few well chosen words. He said on behalf of tho young people he wished to say that they wore very sorry that he was going to leave ami that their prayers and best wishes would follow him and his family where- over their lot is cast. They recognized in him a gentleman of the highest Christian integrity, always true to his religious principles, his family and his friends.

Louie was taken by surprise, but returned thanks in a speech full of feeling, and regretted much to leave a place whore so many happy hours of liis life had been spent, and would always have a warm spot in his heart for the young people of Embury. He will leave for Chicago, to-morrow, but has not yet decided what business he will engage in. Our best wishes go with hiu). A Gang of Toughs. Three young Freeport toughs tried to make kindling wood of the New York House last night.

They got on a drunk and went into the ollice and tried to do up tho night clerk and attempted to strike Mrs. Johnson, the landlord's wife. This morning warrants were sworn out for their arrest, ami they were arranged in Squire Dubs' court. A number of witnesses testified to the facts and the squire assessed two of the boys $4 and oosts apiece and the third, Enie Hice, was cleared, as the evidence went to show that lie only acted as peace make Wo are glad to record one scrap that Enie Hice was in which ho was not to blame for. Possibly ho has reformed.

We hope this will be a lesson for tho other young men interested. Their parents are old and respected people and for their sake wo will not, mention their names, as they are in no wise to blame for their sons' behavior, as they have always set them a good example. But the boys are wi.Ul and reckless and need toning down. of in readiness for the visitors and those who are already here are being well taken care of. If tho weather continues good Freeport will witness one of the largest crowds she lias had for a long time.

Her reputation abroad is good and Taylor's park is recognized to be one of the finest in the land. TIIK KIIIHT niCMiOATION arrived from Dubuquo this morning on the train and consisted of a delegation of 20 from LaCrosse and 23 from Dubuqiie. They were met at tho depot by the reception committee, Messrs. Meyer, Erfort, Kunz, and Leemhuis, Germania band and a large number of tho members of the Germania society. They were escorted to headquarters at the Germania hall, headed by the band.

At tho hall Fest President Meyor made a address of welcome and three cheers were given for the LaCrosse and Dnbuqno sections. They aro a line looking lot of men. Tho LaCrosse delegates all wore linen dusters and straw hats with blue bands. They had refreshments at the hall and were assigned to the quarters where tliey are to put up during the fest. THIS ST.

PAUI, TllAIN at 11:10 brought the delegations from Hock Island and Davenport. There were 12 from the former and 10 from tlio latter place. The band and committee, on reception met them at the depot and escorted them to the Germania hall, where they were heartily welcomed by those who had already arrived. They partook of refreshments and aro now around looking up old friends and making new acquaintances. A J10NSTK.U (JllOWD arrived on tho special over the Northwestern.

It consisted of the following societies: Hockford, 18; Madison, Ut); Janesville, 82; Milwaukee, 200; Minneapolis, 18; Bach's celebrated band of 25 pieces also accompanied tho delegation. It is as nice a delegation of people as ever visited Freoport, composed of well-dressed and good-natured gentlemen. They marched raded from the depot to the Germania hall and the procession reached from the Central crowning to Chicago street and is the largest, that has visited Freeport for some time. Tho Chicago and Elgin delegations arrived on the 15:15 train. There are now in the city between three and four hundred singers, and more will probably arrive to-night and to-morrow.

Most of the day was consumed in welcoming the various delegations and getting acquainted with one another. Tho Germania Society have a lunch constantly on hand at Germania hall for all the the visitors to refresh themselves with when ever they feel so inclined. It is in charge of the ladies and they are very attentive to the wants of all and allow none of the visitors to go away hungry. Tho Germania folks never do things by halves and everything in connection with the fest is llrst-class and managed in a systematic manner, the various committees carrying out their work with a good spirit. The following is the programme at the park to-night, and no one will be allowed inside tho park unless they have a ticket for the concert.

In this way those who attend tho concert will not bo disturbed by a mob on the outside. LOCATING THE LINE. THK KtruVKYOHS HUftV AT WOHK A 1'KlllMANKNT LINK ON TIIK KIIKKPOHT DODOKV I ROAD. Hon. Jas.

I. Neff, of the Freeport, Dodgeville it Northern railroad project, informed a JouiiNAr. reporter that if everything worked satisfactorily that they were counting on, the road would surely go through. The surveyors are now at woik locating a permanent line. They experienced considerable ditliculty getting into Dodgeville.

They want to get as near the city as possible, but they are quite a number of hills to go through and they have not-y-et decided on tho most feasible route into that town, but they will do the best they can for the interests of Dodgeville. AVe sincerely hope tho road will bo built, for it would open up new territory for Freeport to draw trade from, and would be a great 'boom for our wholesale merchants as they have no means of reaching Winslow, Martintown and other points in that section except by stage. IT the road is built it will greatly increase Frooports wholesale trade. And we know it will be built if energy, ability and perse- THE LENA BLAZE.

The alarm of fire-at about noon Tuesday was caused by burning of the plan- ing mill on South Center street. There was some delay in giving the alarm owing to a broken ropo on the fire-bell. It was some minutes from tho time the alarm was given bofore water was thrown on the building. Tho fire originated, so far as wo aro able to learn, in the northeast corner of the mill, near the blast furnace of the foundry owned and operated by McCollock Son. The planing mill was an old frame building owned by J.

A. Steinmetz. It lias not been in use for several years. The building was dry and filled with dust and the flames when started spread with almost lightning rapidity and within five minutes after the first discovery the whole building was wrapped in (lames. The tire soon communicated to the foundry of McColloch cSc, Son, which was only a few foot distance.

By the time the fire department got a stream on the building, the foundry was well on tire. A short time, however, sufficed to put a stop to it. The mill is a total loss. The foundry consists of two parts and GOODS, CAIU'K'IX. --MAYNARIVS-- voronco will accomplish anything, for the men who aro at the head of it possess all these qualities.

NOTJCS. It now looks as though Freeport would have to put up with the sheds that the Central and Northwestern companies jokingly call a depot, until next season, in fact, wo have it on good authority that no depot will bo bnit this season. Kvery day crowds of people have to stand out on the platform in the hot sun waiting for trains, as the little cubby holes they have for waiting rooms only hold about a dozen full grown people. The Northwestern oUlcials intend to havo all the conductors and brakemen on their line wear uniforms in the future. The order will go into effect about the 20th of The night passenger on the St.

Paul will not run through to Savanna during the Saengerfest, and parties attending from that section will have to stay in Freeport all night or walk home. engine room, the divisions next to the planing mill was quite old and was used for the casting room. The blast fiirnaco which was at the west end and only a few feet from the planing mill had been in operation during the fore iioon and supposed that a spark from that communicated to the mill, as the wind was blowing in that direction. The roof of this was destroyed as was also the roof on the engine room at the north side. The east apartment in which were the engine and machinery was not injured.

The principal loss of McCollock was in patents, which were in the casting room. The loss of the roof was nearly nominal as it wits about gone up any way, and it had been the owners intention to put, on a new roof this spring but that had not needed it. There is a tendency on the part of some ignorant to blame the members of the lire department, but under the circumstances no blame can be attached to them. The reservoir on Center street, put in by the town authorities, proved the right thing in the right place, on this occasion. The only trouble being that it is not large enough.

Our steamer having exhausted the supply before the lire was entirely out. While the lire at the mill was underway, or about the time it was extinguished, a passing locomotive set (ire to the roof of the building on South Railroad street occupied by G. W. Barnes as an agricultural warehouse. Fortunately this was at once discovered, and a pail of water extinguished the llame before it had done any damage.

Oould Not Agree. Pattison nuisance case was given to the jury last evening, and they were out all night, but could not agree on a verdict. This morning they were discharged. They stood eight for declaring Jere's place a nuisance and four against. We think it would be a good idea to send the four out to stock yards to live for a few weeks and possibly they would then change their minds.

It is probable a newHrial will tuko place. Tho Surrouudiug Country. The Clark Comedy Co. play at Spring Held this week. The Elgin Daily says that Fred Schwartsfager will start a barber shop and will occupy both rooms in the basement of Borden block, in that city.

Fred is an old Frenport boy and learned his trade with Henry Weishar. The Jews are talking of building a synagogue in Aurora.

A number of Free- porters will attend. The citizens of Savanna are crowing over the rest of the hamlets of Carroll County because they have a population of 3,000. A few years ago it was a village of 5100, but a railroad boom struck it and now it is quite a little city. Mrs. Kate It.

Douil, a Hacine lady, married an Italian Count in Italy re- centl, and they expect to visit Hacine this summer.
