THE V18IT OF OUR INSTRUCTORS TO DtBtJQtJB A DELIGHTFUL BtBN SUSPECTED OF BEING TBACH- KRS. Believing in the good to he secured by visitation of schools outside the city, the Board of Education kindly granted the tecahers of Freeport a day for that purpose.

After considerable deliberation, and discussion of the merits of schools at various places, Elgin, Dlxon, Beloit, and Dubuque were decided upon as objective points. Preparations were at once made for a descent upon these places. The forces secured for the advance upon JDuboque consisted of twenty-one teachers, all expressing a determination to ace and to learn all that could be seen and learned in a visit to a city so much larger than our own. Leaving Freeport on the fast mail, we arrived in Dubuque about 10 o'clock 11. in.

The trip was marked by a total absence of care, the maintain- ance of the dignity, and the expectation of having what the boys call a "time." The perfect of spring's in securing a universal good feeling so essential on trips of this kind. Prof. Snyder accompanied the party to Warren. At frequent intervals we began Urlook about for evidence of our having left the school room, but the utmost gravity prevailed. So great indeed was the decorum, that passengers unacquainted with tho unmistakable evidence of our being teachers anxiously inquired what was going on up the road thijt so many young-lad-tea-were going that way who has been en- iu Mrs.

Benson's has resigned, and Miss Oxley is a At Dubuque we were met by Prof. Principal of the High School. He escorted us to his department, where arrangements were made for visitation of various rooms. After dinner at the Lorriraer House, we devoted the afternoon to the investigation of the methods of instruction and discipline pursued in tho High School and the various ward schools. At 4 p.m.

all met at tho High School building, from which we started for a drive over the city, A delightful ride of two hours gave a fine opportunity to view the scenery of which Dubuque people are so justly proud. Returning to the Lorrlmer House for supper, till expressed themselves highly pleased with tho schools and the city. Hearing of a festival at Dr. Burrell'a church, a number of teachers attended. Here we wdro very kindly welcomed by Eev.

Burrell and his people. About 0 o'clock, under the safe guidance of Profs. Peet and Irish, we Started for the depot. The trip home uneventful, but was marked by the very loudest praise of our entertainers; certainly the treatment we received waa perfect in all respects, and will nuviii' be forgotten. All the teachers unite in wishing Profs.

Peet and Irish long life and prosperity. The teachers all speak in superlatives regarding the enjoyment of the and the kindness of the Dubuque teachers. The relaxation from school duties and the inspiration gained by contact with i hose engaged in thu same profession with ourselves will aid greatly in our future work, and will, we trust, be so beneficial that, our Board of Education continue their plan. II QUK MANUFACTORIES. WHAT A JOURNAL AND REPUBLICAN SCRIBIS FOUND OF INTEREST IN A TOUR AMONW THE PLACES THAT SUPPORT OUR MERCHANTS.

Freeport is a busy place at present far as manufacturing is concerned and we are pleased to state that large forces are working in the various establishments. At the Stover Manufacturing Company's place work was never so brisk and biirb machines are being turnet out on an extensive scale, and shipped to all parts of the country. D. C. Sto ver, tho energetic head of the institution, is as busy as a bee, and he is rushing the work ot erecting the new building on ihe opposite side of the street.

The Wooclmtnse Windmill factory is a lively place, and large number of men are actively engaged in filling out the orders that are i'ast crowding upon them. Largo shipments are bo ing made to all parts of the country. The Barnes' Manufacturing Corn- panys' busy season is at hand, and Capt Barnes has no time to talk. II6, is ful of business and the scribe knows better than to probe him. The company'; men all over the country are hustlers and orders are coming jn thick and fast The new office is being nicely fitted up and the powers that be will occupy it iu a few days.

Henuey Buggy Company is no going institution, for these days car upon car is being loaded with the goods manufactured and sent all ovei the land. John W. Henney is an en ergetic manager, and the force is larger than ever. The Malleable Iron Works is doing a big business in a quiet way, and the prospects were never brighter. Careful, prudent management is what knocks, and here you will find it.

Orders pour in from all over, and the company is doing a healthy, paying business. The Freeport Machine Company's now "at home" in their new quarters, and it is really surprising the immense lot of work turned out, and scattered broadcast throughout the land. Ho! For Chicago! The Grand Army excursion train leaves promptly at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning. Tickets are good to return on any regular train for three days, but the excursion train proper will return on Friday, leaving the Illinois Central depot at 4 p. and arriving at Freeport at 0 p.

m. Friday. Those who desire to return earlier can do so on any ragular train, or can return on any regular train Saturday. There will he an immense crowd to-morrow morning, but cars will be provided for all. The train will stop at Baileyville, Foreston and Mt.

Morris, and will then run through to Chicago on quick arriving in Chicago by one o'clock. Ten coaches have been already secured. and demand is one sat of (amblers, through the HI ihey are master of, ran It down low HB they could, until they had got Mil they wanted, and then by some -v moccKa run tup again.

RAILROADS. THE REPOBTEliS GATHERED AT THE VARIOUS RAILWAY OFFICES IN THIS ITEMS OF INTEREST, THE TUCKERS. Joseph F. Tucker, the general traffic manager of the Illinois Central road, and one of the best men ii the wes', iaa tendered his resignation. The gentleman is a favorite in railroad circles, one who has done a great deal for the Illinois Central company, and it will be hard to fill, his place.

We trust that he will remain in the west, and engage with some other good road. The Tribune, in commenting on bis retirement, says: The retirement of Mr. Tucker from the service of the Illinois Central would prove a serious loss to that company. He has been connected with the road for nearly a quarter of a century, and is considered one of the ablest and most efficient Traffic Managers in the country. Purlng the last few-years Mr.

-Tueker has had many flattering offers from various roads, but invariably declined them because of his attachment to the Illinois Central. If he Jeaves the road now he will find no difficulty in securing an equally important if not better position on some other mad, as men like him are always in great demand. MORE CHANGES. A special telegram announces that the rumor is now current in Chicago that Horace Tucker, general freight agent of the Illinois Central will soon sever his connection with it for reasons somewhat similar to those that caused his brother's action. Reports were circulated that Mr.

Clark and Mr. Jeffery favored the return of ILL. Shute, who, until year ago, was general freight agent of the company's lines in Iowa, and who left to accept a similar position with the Central Iowa road. It is intimated that in case Mr. Tucker is dissatisfied with the present state of affairs Mr.

Shute will be recalled from Marshalltown to succeed him. AIR BRAKES. The roads are all doing a big business. The gross earnings of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway company's system for the third week in April show a falling oil as compared with the figures for last year.

For 1884 the showing is for 1883, $408,000. The Railroad Gazette of the 25th reports a total of 83 miles of new railroad constructed, making 543 miles reported to date for 1884. The total track reported laid to the corresponding date for years past is as follows: miles; 1882, 1881, 000; 1880, 1870,891. An, excursion to Le Mars passed over the Illinois Central road yesterday afternoon. Several Stephenson county took advantage of the cheap rate.

Superintendent Olin and Bridge- builder King, of tkeC. M. St. Paul road, were in town yesterday. They were out to where the new bridge is being constructed at Rock Run, and say the work is progressing mealy, General Western Passenger Agent Merry and Assistant AVheeler, of the Central, were in town yesterday.

Road Supervisor Ryan, of the Central, was in town to-day. He reports the road in good condition, and plenty of business. Mr. Ryan is one of the moat faithful men in the service, and he is agood man for the company. The Illinois Central passenger train which leaves here for Chicago at 7 o'clock a.m., met with a serious accident this morning in East Dubuqun.

Preceding it was freight train No. 11. The switchman, after manuiplating a the throw switch (one which affects thng tracks) neglected to place it in proper position for the passenger train, It is located nearly opposite the United States hotel. The train came along at good rate of speed, and Engineer 13. Trade did not notice the thrown switch until too late.

His engine, No. 123, went over it, followed by the mail and baggage cars, all being tossed from the track and onto their sides. Fortunately none of the coaches reached the switch. A gang of men were at once set to work moving the track around the wreck, and three hours later the train started for Chicago behind another engine. This afternoon a gang of men were sent over to clear the Dubuque Democrat.

THE CRYSTAL TIDE. FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY OF MR, AND MRS. JOSEPH MOKEE CELEBRATED AT KOCKFOKD ON MONDAY NOTES OF A SOCIAL NATURE. The Rockford Register gives the particulars of a social went at that place, interested parties being well known in this citv. It is as follows: Last evening was the 15th anniversary of the marriage of Mr.

and Mrs. Joseph McKee, residing on Whitman Street, West Rockford; and friends of the above, numbering between 60 and 70 called to help them celebrate. The evening was spent in social converse, games, singing and dancing. At 11 o'clock refreshments were served, to which all did ample justice. After supper a short time was devoted to dancing.

Charley Maguire and Harry Platner furnishing the music, and singing several'songs during the evening. The following is a partial list of the presents: Student lamp, ice cream set, sil-. ver spoonholder, sugar bowl and butter dish, two pickle casters, -breakfast caster, two dozen goblets, one dozen cut glass sauce-dishes, silver and glass berry dish, jelly dish, china fruit dish and bread plate, berry dish, and cheese plate, standard cake dish, pair cruets glass Water pitcher, embroidered table spread and glass set.

Gus Chaffee will go to Polo to-night to act in the capacity of caterer at the wedding reception of Miss Minnie Hammer and Frank Newman, two popular yonng people of that town who will be spliced this evening, THE CELEBRATION. WHAT SOME OK OUR EXCHANGES HAVE TO SAY REGARDING THE ODD FELLOW'S CELEBRATION OF LAST SATURDAY.

The papers we receive from the vicinity towns speak in the highest terms of praise of the late celebration. Under the head of Links," the Rockford Gazette man says: Freeport girls are good lookers. The music by the Germania Band in Germauia hall was very fine. There was a larger representation from liockford lodges than any other. The Sterling Band looked like a lot of dudes belonging to a minstrel show.

They all wore plug hats. The militia boys have one of the best appointed armories in the State, outside of Chicago, and as gentlemanly a set of ofHcejs as there is anywhere. X'The sidewalks there are the most familiar of any you ever saw. You are scarcely off the train and walking toward the centre of the place before several planks, as you step on up in your face to meet you. The Reyistw contains a lengthy account of the affair, and concludes: The Rockford excursionists arrived home a little before midnight, tired out but happy.

Whether it was the effects of Francis Murphy's work in Freeport or not we are unable to say, but certainly we never saw less drunkenness in' a gathering of eight or ten thousand people than we saw in Freeport, Saturday. The Elgin correspondent of the Chicago Journal says: Some dissatisfaction exists among the Odd Fellows because the Northwestern excursion train on Saturday morning did not stop long enough for anyone to board it, leaving, in fact, one minute ahead of time. The brethren were obliged to stow thera- the regular train, two hours later. There is considerable satisfaction felt here because of the selection of Elgin as the place for holding the next anniversary celebration of Odd Fellows next year. Elgin will try hard to discount Freeport in the entertainment of the guests, and will probably do it.

Going Up. All kinds of produce seem to be going up again and there comes the conundrum, what cause was there for it going down. None whatever, so far as supply A Well Known Citizen- Mr Bentley, of Freeport, 111., whose name has been identified with the music trade for years, r.s the prominent piano and organ stool manufacturer of the United States, has recently added a valuable branch to his business in the production and sale of his Imperial Organs. He will shortly open warerooms in Chicago, so that his many customers may be able to select their goods when in the city. Mr.

Bentley will remain in Freeport looking after his stool factory and other interests and be represented in Chicago by Mr A Weaver, who is well and favorably known to the music trade, and is thoroughly posted in the music business. and Drama. The above item explains why Mr Bentley is anxious to dispose of bis retail music business in this city. Both the stools and organs which Mr. Bentley manufactures are meeting with such ready sale in all parts of the country, and the business details connected therewith have grown to such proportions, that Mr.

Bentley finds it absolutely necessary to sell his letail business. Mr. Bentley is a first class business man and we rejoice to learn of his prosperity. The Chicago Tribune. You can have the Chicago Tribune delivered by carriers to your residence or place of business before 8:30 o'clock a.
