The weather was delightful, the car windows were open.butthe gentleman was not favorably impressed with the country. There will be no masquerade this year, under the auspices of tho Geruia- nia Society. Years ago quite an interest was taken in these annual carnivals, but the past two or thrse years they were not very profitable financially. There was no general public interest taken in them, and it was thought best to discontinue them. At the hotels there is a great deal of kicking on tho part of travelling men on account of the changes made last Sunday on the St.

Paul road. Many who come here and would like to go to Savanna, Rock Island, Fulton aud olh- places after transacting their business have to remain all night, thereby losing what they consider valuable time. At last night's meeting dT Company on motion of Ex-Lieut. Dickes, tho city editors of the daily newspapers of this city were unanimously elected hon- ary members of the organization for life.

Benson on Thursday, brought the good news that the gentleman's son, Silas, was gaining better health than he has enjoyed.

After tho usual young people's mooting, in which a great many- testified for Christ, Mrs. Willing preached on "The Healing of Naatnau's Leprosy," from 2 King, 5:12. "Are not Abana and Phaspar, rivers of Damascus, hotter than all tho waters of Israel?" In the service that followed, tho altar was filled from one end to tho other with seekers, many of whom found peace.

Others were seeking in the pows, and some remained long after most of the congregation had gone home. The lust, conversion occurred at half-past cloven o'clock. There will be a young people's meeting at 7 o'clock this evening at the First church, and preaching at 7:80 by Mrs. Willing. E.

The gentlemen interested in tho association at that place assured tho Froeportcrw they would take pleasure in being connected circuit, and will do everything possible to assist in tho good work. A Chapter on Dogs.

The attack made on Mrs. Bailey by the monstrous canine that has boon tho terror of tho neighborhood is a topic for a groat deal of gossip. Tho unfortunate circumstance is regretted by tho friends of the family, and it is the general opinion that the dog in question ought to be baniuhod from this neck o' woods. Ho is entirely too fond of taking people unawares. Not only did ho make Mrs.

Bailey and the hired girl objects of his moan disposition, but there are others who have no reason to feel kindly toward him. It is only about a year since he sprang at Miss Bertha Trombor, while sho was in the house, and the imprint of his claws remained on her face for some time. Had she been alone in tho room with the dog it may well bo imagined what might have occurred. Agent P. II.

Murphy, of the Central, couldn't bo hired to make a trip to tho Bailey residence while the St. Bernard is there, for the gentleman has a dis- distinct recollection of an attack made on him a few months ago. He called on Judge Bailey, and while in the room Mrs. Bailey advanced and greeted him. Tho dog was muzzled at the time, but he made a bound at Mr.

Murphy, striking him on the right cbeek bone with the point of the muzzle. The attack was so sudden that it stunned Mr. Murphy, but did not have the effect to knock him down. And there is James 1. Nell', always walks on tho other side of street.

Ho says ho is a "chronic" the dog question, and related an stance that indicates that when goes home he always gives a dog full benefit of the sidewalk. Bert Waddoll is another hater dogs, for he had an experience with one in East Freeport last summer that he docs not care to repeat. I le does not know what became of the dog that made a jump at him, but if he is dead, Bert has no occasion to mourn. Little Lloyd Wilcoxon, son of T. I).

Wilcoxon, carries a scar on his face inflicted by a dog several years ago. lie was the fifth boy bitten by the same dog. LOCATING DEPOTS, T1TK MINNESOTA AND NORTHWESTERN WILL HAVK STATIONS AT THE ANDREW AND OEOHOE OLAT- NOTKH. Hon. J.

L. Pratt, depot locator for tho Minnesota an'd Northwestern, arrived in the city an Friday morning. He had intended when be left here yesterday to go to Elizabeth, but instead went out to Kent and Yellow Creek. The prediction made by the JOURNAL that stations would be located at the Claywoll place, in Kent, and at the Andrew Eby place, in Loran township, is verified, for Mr. Pratt said to-day that the conditions have been complied with and accepted.

AT YELLOW GREEK there is great rejoicing in consequence. The Eby place is but a short distance from the Kleckner store, and the people of that part of Loran have great hopes for the future of Jthe village. For many years they have been longing for railroad connection, and now that they arc to have tho Minnesota Northwestern, it is not to be wondered that they are exceedingly happy and jubilant. Long life to Yellow Creek. THE CLAYWELL PLACK is in Kent township, some distance from tho Black Hawk monument.

At present Lena derives great benefit from the trade that comes from the town of Kent, but if a few stores should be located at the Claywell place it is probable that they would do well. Lena will be a loser by the location of a depot at this place, and tho shippers of hogs and grain will not do as much business as at present, after tho M. He the on in- he the of The Lie in Court. In the circuit court at Uockford Thursday, in the closing argument in a case, an attorney by the name of Blake gave Maj. Warner tho Ho.

The gallant soldier said: "Unless you refrain from ruch remarks there will be one less city attorney. It the court does not protect me I will throw you through the window." It is evident from the Uockford papers that Blake was "too fresh," and the lecture he received from Judge Brown scorcher. Blake is said to be heartily ashamed of himself. Maj. Warner is not a man to fool with, as Blako will undoubtedly have reason to know hereafter.

The Afflicted. Miss Sadie Tobias, who was ill for several days, is able to be out again. The little son of Jas. It. Covvley is dangerously ill with inflammation of the bowels.

Four children of Chas. Mayer, on Union street, are down with "scarlet fever. Lodge aud Society. Tho Masonic School of Instruction held at Galosburg this week was attended by over 200 Masons of that part of the state. The Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Mutual Aid, which has been in session at Ottawa this week, concluded its labors on Thursday.

The following ofllcers were elected for the ensuing year: Grand President, Alexander McLean, of Macomb; Grand Vice N. Janiieson, of Chicago; Grand Secretary, William M. Aviso, of Quincy; Grand Treasurer. Fred S. Mosher, of Sandwich; Grand Trustee, J.

II, Wells, of Elgin. A vote of thanks was extended to Good Will Lodge, of Ottawa, for courtesies extended, and Dccatur was selected as the next place of meeting. Just before closing tho retiring trustee, J. W. Burst, of Sycamore, was presented with an elegant gold-headed cane.

He was taken by surprise, but made a fitting response. lie said: "My love, I am sorry to disappoint you about tho picnic, but my trotter has a lame foot." That's nothing! We've got plenty of Salvation Oil. The Detroit Free Press Fiend has been punning on Dr. Bull's Cough Sprup. He is only gratitude, for all thinking men know its merits.

(Exch.) The monthly pay roll in the machinery department of the Illinois Central shops In Clinton amounts to about $4,500 a month. This includes the pay of engineers and firemen. A Trip of Lena. Fourteen couple of young people who have "nerve" as well us "sand" braved tho elements and took a trip to Lena Thursday night. The Lorch bob was chartered, and they left here at 7:30 o'clock, reaching their destination at 9 o'clock.

They put up at the Lena Hotel, whore Landlord Coon received them in a courteous manner, and got them around the stoves as quick as possible. A big supper was partaken of shortly after arrival, ami a few hours were passed in a general social way. It was a lively least we think Landlord Coon formed that opinion and they all had a good time. Freeport was reached at 4 o'clock this morning, and when tho boys gathered together to-day they had lots of fun. Frank Keyset 1 was responsible for the trip, N.

W. is in running order. THE CONDITIONS required by the Minnesota Northwestern company are that property 2,000 foot in length and 300 feet in width shall bo donated. The owners of property in the immediate vicinity are the pay for the privilege, for both Claywell and Eby receive good prices for their land, bes'ides they will have an opportunity to have "town lot" sites for sale. DISCARDS THE M.

A N. W. The Dubuque papers havo for some months been persisting in tho statement that the Illinis Central and the M. N. W.

were one and the same thing. The J.electraph contains a paragraph in yesterday's issue, however, which shows clearly the relation between the two roads. It is as follows: "The Illinois Central to-day made an announcement which will puzzle those who consider it tho parent of the Min- desota Northwestern. Since tho completion of the latter road to Dnbu- quo and St. Paul, Minneapolis and Minnesota transfer.

To-day it announces that it has made an arrangement with the Burlington, Cedar Rapids Northern and the Minneapolis St. Louis railroad whereby it will do freight business between these points and Albert Lea. This is the route which the Central reached St. Paul Ixghre the M. N.

W. was built. AT OALENA. The Gazette reprints the article on the M. N.

W. from Wednesday's issue of the JOURNAL, and adds: It has been evident for time that the Minnesota Northwestern Railroad Co. is not satisfied with any of their surveys south of Galena, and that the company was trying to find a better route for that important road than the surveys running south of here gave them. It is also well known to those who understand the topography of this county, that the most practicable route is via Galena. We have it from excellent authority that Mr.

Stickney, the president of that road, has made arrangements with the C. B. by which the M. N. W.

road will run their trains over tho C. B. N. track from East Dubuquo to Portage Curve and probably to this city. There is an excellent route from Galena via Muddy Hollow and then striking east and intersecting the line as already established in the eastern part of the county, and this is probably what the company designs doing.

TRAIN CONNECTIONS. The Illinois Central's new train is growing popularity, and were the C. N. W. to improve connections with it at Freeport it would be still more iu favor with travelers between Dubuque and DubiKj-tte Telegraph.

It is evident the writer of the above is not posted, else he would not have published the paragraph. Tho C. N. W. connections here could be no better.

Tho Central trains, with the exception of the fast mail, go direct to Chicago. But parties desiring to reach that place at 11 o'clock at night can do so by leaving Dubuque on the fast train, which reaches here at 4:20 o'clock in the afternoon, and taking the Northwestern, which departs at 7 p. m. The Northwestern morning passenger leaves here just after the arrival of the Central from Dubuque. The connections are all right.

SPARKS. The old rumor about tho extension of the C. B. N. to Shullsburg, has again been revived.

Conductor William Fuller, one of the oldest ticket punchers on the Milwaukee road, is not able to take bis run, being ill at Racine several weeks. Freight engine No. 375 and passenger engine No. 253, of the St. Paul road, are being overhauled in the shops.

A snow-bound Central train came in from Iowa to-day. It is expected that Superintendent of Machinery Schlack, of the Central, will soon make a visit to Freeport, and clean out the Malleable works preparatory to putting in a force of men. Assistant Chief Engineer Sloan, of the C. M. made Freeport a visit last night.

It is expected work on the Shields contract will be resumed next week. THE COUNTY. LJ5NA. (From Our Own Com-Hpomlent.) LENA, 111., Feb. Y.

Last evening a merry party of six couple took a bob out to Frank Simmons' pleasant home and had a most enjoyable time. Frank used to be one of tho boys himself, and he hasn't forgotten the happy days of yore. The other people, better known as "the kids," were out last night and did Jibeir prettiest at Emaniel Kailey's, at the request of his little son Willie. They had intended to go to Chelsea, and thus get a little longer ride, but the cold weather induced them to make a wiser resolution. Mr.

Geo. Baldwin went to Warren this morning, on business. Mr. Frank Thompson returned yesterday from a trip to Wichita. Kansas, where he has been looking after some business.

He says everything is a-fire men are doubling money in six months. Dr. W. P. Naramore and Gen.

Mr. E. Kailey is spending this week iu Chicago. Ho is probably seeing the sights. A goodly number of our young people go to the Louisa Debating Club meeting to-night to have a good time.

This society was started two weeks ago and is attracting a little attention by lovers of fun. A. M. Barrett, son of tho creamery man, arrived in town to-day, on a visit home, from which he has been absent for five years or more. The band boys are hoping for a favorable night for the concert of Saturday night.

If the Orangeville boys can't come they will give a concert any way. The funeral of James Shoesmith took place this afternoon. AFOLKEY. (Krom Our Own Correxpomleut.)
