An effort will bo made to pass the Pacific
funding bill , In the senate , on Wednesday.
The two houses arc a long ways apart on
this subject , and those who have given the
question most study , ns It Is now before con
gress , do not believe that by any turn , the
bill can got through both branches. The
nnti-monopcllsts in the house want amend
ments to tlio bill which the sonata will not
accept. The tariff Is to occupy the b ilanco
of thu week In the senate , ami thu direct tax
ami Nlcnraugua canal bills are to consume
moat of the week in the house.
Tin : COMMISSION'S iir.i'OKT.
The formnl report of the Sioux commission
is made public nnd contains a comprehen
sive history of tno commission's efforts to
carry out the provisions of the act , throwing
open to settlement thu great expanse of
country In Nebraska and Dakota known as
the Sioux reservation. The commission Is
decidedly severe In Its criticisms on the pro
gress of Indian civilization , and emphati
cally assorts that "stern and vigorous meas
ures uro from this on absolutely essential to
n solution of the Indian problem. The
first question to bo' settled is that
of making these people s > elf-suppoitlng. "
A continuation of the practice of
feeding and clothing these people in Idleness ,
says the commission , "at the expense of mil
lions of dollars per annum , will prove a need
less burden upon the taxpiiicis of the coun
try , and the ruin of Iho Indians themselves. "
The Indians have wilfully icfuscd to com
ply with their treaty obligations , and the
government has , through considerations of
humanity , continued to fuinish them with
rations , which it was not bound to furnish.
The treaty terms allow the substitution of
bacon and pork for he of , and the commission
thinks that In thu Interest of good health
and decency , ns well as to do
awny with the honors which surround a
bcof killing day at the agencies , it would bu
well to make the substitution. Pork and
bacon would encourage tlio consumption of
vegatables , which sanitary conditions ,
among the Indians demand should bo fed to
them. It is stilted that the giowth of Da
kota , and the increase of its population ,
which would entitle the territory to four
representatives m congiess , wcro the terri
tory admitted us twostatodouiaid8un t-arly
settlement of the question. This reser
vation , larger than the state of Indiana ,
containing 23,000,1100 acres , occupied by
23,000 Indians , stunds in the way of advance
incut , of progress and of civilization. Tlio
Indians stubbornly refuse to give their con
sent to the opening of their lands , and believe
they can continue to block up the way of civ-
Izalion , at the sauio tlmo focdlnir off tlio gov
ernment. Under these circumstances the
commission thinks that to bring about the
civilization of thcso Indians , the reservation
should at once Uosutveyed , tlio Indians re
quired , In accordance with their treaty stipu
lation , to take thulr lands by allotment and
go to work upon them , the surplus land
being sold off ; that they should bo compelled
to send their children to school ; that rations
nnd annuities should bo llrmly withhold
from these who wilfully refuse to comply
with thcso requirements : that all Indians
complying should be given annuities and
necessary rations and implements promptly ;
that all dealings between the government ,
its agents hud the Indians , should bo with
them as individuals ; and chiefs , as such ,
should In no wlso bo recognized. Then the
reservations should bo opened to settlement
. . so that railroads and other public
I * Improvements may bo encouraged and the
11 clvill/lng influences of the whites bo felt.
After a full consideration of the question in
all Its lights , the commission is of the opin
ion that the consent of three-fourths of the
Indians to the opening of the reservation ,
can never bo obtained , whatever the Induce
ment holdout. Moro than n fourth of them
will always hold out against it. The advance
of civilization demands that this great bar
rier bo swept away , and the question la left
with congress ns to whether arbitrary , but
humane steps , shall bo taken , uud solve the
problem.

No suprisc , but a great deal of indignation ,
was expressed to-day when It became known
that permission had been given u brigade of
Ohio cavalry , artillery nnd infantry ( state
militia ) to fetch their cots nnd occupy tl.o
spacious corridors of tlio state , war aud navy
departments In the llnest building in Wash
ington during the \\eek of Inauguration.
, The Indignation was conllncd to iho room
renters nnd landloids generally. Itlspiob-
ublo that nearly all of the federal buildings
will have cots iu them on the occasion of the
inauguration. Kcuts have been so enor
mously raised by the landlords that few
persons can afford to spend the week bore ,
llooms which rented heretofore for $1
a day , now demand $ . ' ) , and these which
have commanded but $2 a day are up to f 0
or f $ . Even the rooms rented monthly have
been doubled in price , The landlords nt
hoiuo of the hotels have informed their reg
ular boarders that during the fortnight im
mediately before and after the inauguration ,
the price of their board must go up 0 per
cent. So far but few rooms have been on-
gnged at any price. When the people pour
iu for thu great event they must oat nnd
sleep , and then will come the landlords'
harvest.
T1IOPI ! A1IMY ritOMOTlONS.
It Is understood that the president will
send to the sonuto to-morroiv the six vacant
staff appointments in the army which have
been so long anticipated. Last week ho
carefully wont through the papers from the
war department and culled out the men ho
regarded us most strongly deserving promo
tion. The editor of the Washington Capitol ,
to-day says : " 1 am told that Captain Bdurko.
of the Sixth cavalrywho was btrongly urged
Tor the vacant inspector-generalship , is not
ono of them , and 1 am sorry ( o hear It. It is
said that the fact that Captain Bourke has
been on duty some years In Washington
has prejudiced thu president against him.
If this is true , it would seem to bo n notlco
to the ofllcors of the war department not to
order any of the best ofllcors of Iho army to
Washington. " The inspector general to bo
appointed Is said to bo Captain J. P. ' Hunger ,
Second artillery , now on duty at San Fran
cisco , and formerly a favorite stuff ofliccr of
General Schotlold , General Scholleld is said
to have urged his appointment both ou per
sonal grounds and on the score that some of
the stuff nlaccs should bo filled from the. ar
tillery , General Crook was Captain Bourko's
chief backer. Captain Sanger la a llrst rate
ofllcor and will uiako uu cftlclcnt inspector
general. So would Captain Bourke , who
had splendid reconiiiieiidutlons.Jutid whoso
appointment was strongly favored both by
Secretary Kudicott and ( iei.orol Drum. It is
probublo tlmt there will soon bo another va
cancy iu this corns , as Gcnoral Roger Jones ,
recently promoted to the head of the corps ,
is dangerously ill and may not survive moro
than a few weeks longer. In that case
Colonel Brccklnrldgo will undoubtedly bo
promoted to the runic of brigadier general.
Ho is next in ruuk to General Jones , aud ha
has the advantage of family influence. Ho
is a brother of Representative W. C. P.
Urecklnrldgo , of Kentucky. Olio of the onl-
cors , who is supposed to have received a staff
place , in Captain Kdward Hunter , of the
First Cavalry. Ho is u Maine man , and is
backed by Chief Justice Fuller , and also by
David A , Wclltt , whoso law partner is Cap
tain Hunter's brother.
To-day's Herald of this city says : "Tho
names ot the fortunate ofllcers have been
agreed upon , but the utmost sorrecy is main
tained , both at the white house and war de
partment. For the inspector generalship the
contest seems to have narrowed down to
Captains Hourkc , J. P. Sanger tmd 'laUor.
Cantaln Uallancc , of the Twcntv-sccond In
fantry , nnd Captain George Davis , Fifth
cavalry , are liable to carry off the prlrcs for
thojudgo nnvooateships. The commissary-
ship looks like First Lieutenant W. P. Du-
vull Fifth artillery , while for the quarter-
mastership , Lieutenant Cilassbeck seems to
have ttio best sliow.
CIMI , sr.uvirn COMMISSION' .
Colonel William E. McLean , of Terra
Haute , Iiul. , llrst deputy commissioner of
pensions , is mentioned for a civil servlco
rommissionship , to 1111 the vacancy already
existing through the appointment of Mr.
Obcrly to lie Indian commissioner , or as the
democratic representative , when the board is
reorganized under the now administration.
The rolonol has made a very good and popu
lar ofllcor in the pension ollice , and would bo
endorsed by the Indiana democracy. Ho is
highly educated , n well-read lawyer , nnd 1ms
had experience in educational affairs. Ho
was for several \cars secretary of the In
diana state normal school board , and served
in the state senate. Ilis soldier record was
largely tnlluciitlal in securing the position ho
now occupies ,
A DICKINSON THICK.
Shortly nfter Don M. Dickinson became
postmaster general , lie had to pass uiion the
proposition to extend the civil service over
the railway mall branch of his department.
Mr. Dickinson told the president that it
would never do ; that it would take all dis
cretionary powers from the superintendent
of the railway mull service , tie the hands of
the division superintendents , nnd demoralize
things generally. At that time Mr. Dickin
son was assuring the president that thu
democrats would carry Michigan , Now
York , Indiana , Wisconsin , etc. , and that
there would bo another four years of the
present administration. Slnco the election ,
Mr. Dickinson believes that the civil borvlco
rules and law should bo extended to Include
the railway mail service , and ho has so ro-
commendcd. He believes it would retain
several thousand democrats in ofllco. The
tables have turned.
Congressman John A. McShano arrived

COMING WEKIt IN CONGHESS.
Important HtislncHs Before the House
nnd Somite.
WASHINGTON , Dec. I ) . In the senate this
week the substitute for the Mills tariff bill
will bo taken up every day immediately after
the miscellaneous business of the morning
lioui1. The bill , as printed contains 10 pages ,
and last week an average of nineteen pages
u day was disposed of. Hut in view of the
efforts of Messrs. Harris and McPherson , of
the minority , and of Mr. Plumb , of the ma
jority , to procure the adoption of amend
ments now pendinir , and making allowances
for others to be offered , it Is hardly probable
that the measure will bo returned
to the house until after the
Christmas recess. The Union Pa-
eille funding bill is on the cal
endar for Wednesday afternoon , but
the friends of the tariff bill expect it to
bo again postponed. Mr. Plumb has given
notice of his intention to ask the senate to
take up the DCS Moines river laud bill , passed
by the house last week , but it will not bo
done until the tariff bill is out of the way.
Under the rules of the house the llrst busi
ness in order to-morrow after the call of
states for the introduction and reference of
bills is the consideration of measures per
taining exclusively to the District of Colum
bia. Tuesday and Wednesday will bo devoted -
voted to the discussion nnd dually voting on
the direct tax bill. The District of Colum
bia and pension appropriation bills will betaken
taken up ou Thursday , and the legislative
week will close M 1th further consideration
of the bill to Incoipjrato the Maritime Canal
company of Nicaragua.

wounding ono ofllcor. nnd then put spurs to
his horse. The sheriff took n near cut for
Harold and arrived there In time to see the
young man rldo in. Ho soon covered him
and commanded him to halt , but ho turned
and rode in an opposite direction. Harper
was llred on and brought to the earth. The
ball shattered his leg below the knee , and ho
will bo a cripple for life. Ho was brought

Colonel Thomas G. Jones , of the Second
regiment of Alabama state troops , arrived
hero this morning with llvo companies and is
confident of his ability to prevent any further
attempt at mob violence. There wns much
excitement for nwhilo last night , but it has
subsided somewhat to-day.
ST. Louis , Mo. , Dec. U. A special fiom
Birmingham , Ala. , says : The situation is
comparatively quiet to-day , though the feel
ing is intense and the authorities have taken
every precaution to avert a repetition of last
night's horrors. Colonel 13. F. Jones , of the
Second regiment , arrived to-day and as
sumed command of the militia. Sheriff :
Smith , in an interview , said ho deeply re
gretted the occurrences of last night , but
felt that ho had simply done his duty in up
holding the majesty of the law. Ho said -ho
gave the mob ample warning and did not
give the order to lire until it was absolutely
necessary to do so , and that after the mob
had begun to lire upon the Jail.
Mayor Thompson , who was only inducted
into ofllco last Wednesday , Issued a procla
mation this morning , expressing sympathy
for the families of the victims of last night's
tragedy , and deeply regretting the occur
rence , but favorihg n maintenance of law
nnd order , and appealing to all who love
peace and good order to refrain from public
assemblage and remain In the quiet of their
homes.
NASIIVH.I.B , Tenn. , Dec. 0. The Amer
lean's special from Hlrmliigham , Ala. , says :
The public are not disposed to philosophi
cally lock upon the terrible tragedy of last
night as a lawful measure , and nine citizens
out of every ten are open in denunciation of
the awful crime. Men were shot down
who were neither mobbors nor Inciters -
citors of mob vengeance. Their
dead bodies , when examined , were
not loaded down with artillery , and none
present saw niiy of the killed do any act of
violence or commit any olTenso that could bo
construed either as a crime or intent to com
mit a crime. To-day , nil through the long
hours of the Sabbath , the blood of the nuir-
tyis has crimsoned almost every understand
ing , and the limit of violence is
openly advocated for these who last1
night llred thu fatal bullets. It Is
generally believed that the recklessness
and haste of the sheriff In giving the com
mand to fire was assassination , and it is
stated on all sides that the immense gather
ing wns not for tlio purpose at all of forcing
the Jail , but rather out of curiosity. There
was never any real danger of assault , Inter
est and excitement Is far greater than
tweny-four hours ngo.
In the light of last night's terrors the
Hawcs affair has almost disappeared , nnd
the indignation expressed is directed ngainst
Sheriff Smith nnd posse , who let go the fear
ful volley. The civil authorities have practi
cally stepped down and out , nnd Colonel
Jones , of Montgomery , with thirteen mili
tary companies , is absolutely in charge of
affairs.
Citizens congregate in the hotels , or on the
street corners and in front of bulletin boards.
The streets have been a living , maddened
mass , nnd very llttlo oratorical pyrotech
nics could readily organize u mob , whoso
duty would bo declared to bo to avenge the
murder of the popular Throckmorton and
these who foil by him. All along the walls
of the city are posted petitions of various
kinds , signed by thousands of people. One
of thcso recites nt length iho fact that Sher
iff Smith had butchered In cold blood some
of the best citizens of Birmingham by an act
unprovoked and unncccssaa.v , and asks the
governor to immediately relieve him of his
duties as sheriff. Another petition , sldo by
side reads , "This Is to hang him , " and was
signed by thousands of passers-by.
Great ooxcitement was caused by the
funeral cortege through the principal high
way of ono of the victims of the affray. The
postofllco building Is draped in mourning ,
and makes a mute appeal to every passer-by.
The military were called upon to urrest
Smith ana others implicated , but
this was refused , and finally , '
about 6 o'clock p. m. , a citizen
went before u Justice of the pcnco and swore
out a warrant for the arrest of Smith and hU
deputies on the charge of murder. This was
served by the coroner , who found Smith in
the Jail , nnd the coroner himself took charge
of the Jail , und in his custody that institution
is at present.
During the afternoon a rumor became
widespread that lf , < 00 minors from the Pratt
minus , about llvo miles from Hirmingham ,
would , after dark , inarch to the city armed
with guns , pistols and dynamite cartiidgos ,
and , with an increase to thulr ranks that
was expected , assault the soldiers and with
dynamite blow to atoms thu Jail. The mili
tary do not four the attempt. There are al
ready thirteen military companion under
command of Colonel Jones , nnd flvo others
will arrive on special thilns by midnight.
This morning the Pity council , In special
session , ordered nil saloons nnd drug stores
closed until further notice.
A mooting of prominent dtl/cns , held this
evening , Issued an address calling on all
fellow-citizens to refrain from further dc
monstrallons nnd congregating on tno streets ,
nnd to let the law tnkd its course , promising
that justice would bo done.
Colonel Jones issued an address of the
same tenor , adding that under the orders
Issued to him any further nttemptjit violence
would bo sternly repressed.
Sheriff Smith , In uu lnU3rvimvto-ulglitsnid :
"Wo begged aud plendotl with the crowd to
keep back , nnd then they llred the llrst shot.
Several shots \\oro fired by the crowd before
fore the I gave the order to tiro. Wo begged
them to halt at the mouth of the alley , and
still they kept coming on. Wo begged them
to go back , and tlmo and again warned them
that wo would shoot" , but they would not
listen to us. They came hnlf-w v up the
alloy , close to the Jail yard , and shouted ,
'Blow up the Jail with-dynamite. ' After nil
this , and nfter they oitencd lire , I gave the
order to lire. They continued on Ilring nfter
wo ceased. ( I felt that wo could not do any
thing else under the circumstances , and I
deeply regretted the necessity. "
ADOOUHNKD WITHOUT A IMS POUT.
The Federal Grand Jury nt Imllniinp-
ollH Hutui'iis No Indictments.
iNDiANAi'Ot.is , Ind. , Dec. 0. After having
examined nearly two hundred witnesses re
lating to the alleged election frauds the fed
eral grand Jury adjourned yesterday until
Deceiiib M % 17 without making a report. It is
believed that fully half of the witnesses
wcro asked if they know nnythlnir about the
"blocks of live" letter , bearing what pur
ported to bo the signature of W. W. Dudley.
Many of the officers of Ipcal republican com
mittees to whom It wns supposed the letter
had been sent were called into court , and
Chairman Jcwett , of the Democratic State
Central committee , who has claimed that ho
had exclusive information regarding the
matter , was among the last to testify to-day.
If tlio Jury thought that the evidence was
suflieicnt to warrant nn Indictment it is gen
erally believed that it would have reported a
bill before adjourning temporarily. Some of
the republicans who were summoned ns wit
nesses were dismissed without examination.
It is stated reliably that as n result of the in
vestigation , the jury has procured enough
evidence of bribery and fraud to warrant tlio
indictment of only seven or eight persons on
charges of violating the election laws.

A Tradition oftho Dos Mnlnrq.
Dis : MOIST. * , la. , Dec. P. [ Special Corio-
spondenco to Tin : Uii.J A few days agon
dispatch from Fort Dodge referring to the
evictions of the D6s Moines river land
settlers nnd the origin of the dispute , said ,
"There Is a tradition that n small steamboat ,
drawing perhaps six inches of water , once
made its appearance at Fort Dodge during
the high water of the springtime , but it
cleared for below without any unnecessary
delay nnd never came back. " It will bo re
membered that one of the conditions on
which the grant of laiuls was mudo to thu
DCS Moiucs Hlvcr Improvement company
was that the river bo nude navigable from
Kcokuk to Fort Dodge. It m be said that
there is more than a "tradition" to support
the first and only trip of n steamboat on
these upper waters of the DCS Moiucs. Ono
of the passengers on that eventful trip Is now
living in ICcokuk In the person of the vcner-
able Judge C. F. Davis. Ho has consumed
to an interview on the subject , nnd producing
his old records and memoranda to refresh his
memory with dates and mimes , ho gives the
following interesting account of that trip
and the conditions of trade thirty years ngo.
"In these days 18V. ) , " said the judge ,
"there were no drummers Country mer
chants came to Keokuk twice a year , in the
spring and fall to make their purchases , and
in the meantime sent their orders by the
teamsters. The trade of Iveohiik extended
over the greater part of the south half of the
state , and as far north as Foit Dodgo. The
rate of freight to Dos Moines was $ J per
hundred , by ox team , and $ -J , per fifty , to
Fort Dodge. Occasionally during the sum
mer , small steamers navigated the Dos
Monies , going us far as Haccoon Forks , ( now
the city of Dos Moines ) , charging for
freight from Iveokuk to that point GU to
75 cents per hundred pounds. In May , Ib.V.I ,
the 11 rm with which I was connected m Koo-
kuk Grittonden , McOaric it Co. chartered
the steamboat "Charles IJodgers , " of about
llfty tons burden , wo agreeing to load her to
her full capacity with freight through to
Fort Dodge at a rate of 50 cents per hun
dred. Wo loaded the boat with sugar , coflce.
molasses , tobacco , salt , flour , etc. , and I
went aboard as supercago. Wo loft the laud
ing at Kookuk Wednesday , May IS , Ib59 , at 0
o'clock p. m. The boat had no cabin , only
the pilot house on the hurricane deck. Wo
ate and slept on the lower deck , just back of
the engine and boilers. The boat was laid
up on the bank when night overtook us , only
running by daylight , and warping through
the loclcs at Bonuparto and Bentonsport.
One of the pilots was u violinist , and at
several places where wo tied up on the bank ,
with the assistance of the neiu'liborimj belles
and beaux , wo had elorious old-fashioned
dances. The young fellows from all around
brought their girls , and for once at least had
the luxury of a dance on a steamboat.
"Our cargo being billed through to Fort
Dodga , wo made no stop for way business ,
and arrived at Haccoon Forks Friday even
ing , where wo remained all night. That was
pietty rapid transit , only two days out. It
would have taken an ox team or horses over
four days to have gone that dtstiince. Sat
urday morning , May 21 , we loft DCS Moines.
The boat being light draft , and the river at a
good htago of water , wo steamed over the
dam at the Forks , and arrived Saturday
evening at Hoonsboro landing , several miles
from the town of that name. Here we re
mained for the night , some parties coin
ing from town , and bringing their
best girls with them , so that wo had a dance
in a building on shore. Although our trip
was for business , wo did not neglect any op
portunity to have all the enjoyment there
was in it , and to contribute to the pleasure
of the settlers who were then on the out
skirts of civilization.
Hetween Boonbooro and Ft. Dodge our
boat exhausted its supply of fuel. Wo landed
several tunes and all hands captain , mate ,
clerk and .supercargo went into the woods
and gathered dead timber and other material
to keep up steam. If wo did chance to cut
down u few trees and carry them off to the
boat , the state of Iowa is none the peeler
to-day , and will forgive the indiscretion in
the spirit of the times.
As we journeyed up the river the shrill
whistle of our boat brought people from
miles around to see what was the matter.
Many of them had never scan a steamboat ,
and wcro almost as much frightened at the
sight ns wcro some of the wild game that we
stirred up along the banks of the river.
On Sunday evening. May " 2 , wo lauded at
a farm owned by L. Miracle , u short dis
tance below Ft. Dodge. I made thellistsalo
to him of groceries amounting to $100.A ( ) ,
which ho paid for in gold. This was a little
quiet Sunday transaction which wo excused
under the necessities of the times. Wo were
all the while afraid that If wo lingered too
lonf , the water in that uncertain river might
all run away and leave our boat high aud dry
on lund. The next morning , Monday , May
S. ' ) , at about noon we steamed up to the
landing ut Ft. Dodge , and the Jlrst and only
steamboat that ever ran from Keokuk to
that place landed at the wharf ,
the town was up on the high
ground some distance from the
river , but thu entire population cnmo down
to thu landing to see us , and greeted us with
great cheers. It was a great event for Fort
Dodge , nnd most of the people tlieio thought
their town at once was to become the gieat
city of the northwest.
I went on shore the next day with my Invoice -
voice , nnd by noon hud disposed of the cntiro
cargo and received Iho pay in gold , that
being the currency of the country at that
time. The arrival of our boat wus such an
ovunt that thu people of Fort Uodgu gave a
dance in our honor. 1 still have one of the
cards of Invitation to that mcmor.iblu occa
sion. The dnnco was culled a ' 'Sociable
Soiree , " and wus hold at Masonic hall on
Thursday evening of the last week in May ,
I860. Among the managers I find the niimei
of C. C. Carpenter , who was uttorwards
governor of Iowa , Hon. W M. Meservy , ono
uf the prominent politicians of that day ,
Hon. A , M. Dawley , another prominent poli
tician , who Is romoinoered now by u singular
coincidence for his faithful nnd long con
tinued servlco in behalf of the river land
settlers. It was while ho was at Washing
ton lobbying In their Interest a few years
ago that ho died very suddenly , and some of
thu poor Hottlurs still bolluvo that ho met his
death by foul means. The ball was a great
success , ut which all the beauty and chivalry
of that frontier town participated ,

"After a day or two ot festivities , not dur
ing to stay any longer , the good steamer ,
'Charles Kogeis,1 made a successful return
voyage , but never repeated her llrst expcH-
eneo. That wus the only ti Ip over mudo by
a steam boat on the DCS Moines river as far
noith as Fort Dodge , and It is paitly upon
; ho accomplishment ot thut memorable trip
tho.t the DCS Molnoj U'ver ' improvement
company claimed thu title to thu lund from
ivluUi the poor ncttlcis have been so cruelly
driven in the last few weeks ,
"Aa 1 refer to ray notes , I bee that time has
wrought great changes la the business com
munities all along the route of that eventful
lournoy. Thy principal merchants of DCS
Moines then were W. W. Moore , Laird Hros. ,
John McU'llhams , O W. nnd A J. Dunblo ,
11. IJcokmnn , Harry Stcvousoti , "rather"
Chnrlps CJoodo , H.V. . Syphcr and W.V. .
Carpenter. 1 learn that not a slnelo ono of
that number Is in the mercantile business to
day. At that time Ci'louel S. F. Spufford
kept the hotel of this place , and Itwasu small
aflmr at the foot of Walnut street on the
river front. H. F. Alien and Hoyt Sherman ,
brother to , Toliu and Tecumseh Sliorman ,
were then the bankers of lies Maine * . The
fortunes of the hitler have Improved , of the
former failed , but neither , I learn , arc now
in that business. *
At Fort Dodge amomj these who purchased
goods of me on that steamboat trip were M.
M. Hairr , S. C. Heaton , Urcgory & Mess
more , .1. J. Hone , Charles Kauku and F. A.
Hluokshire. 1 understand there has boon
equally striking oh nigos uiinug the business
men of Fort Dodge SHICO thou.
"That trip from Keokuk to Fort Dodge
was the talk of the country for miles around.
As I said before , the people of Fort Dpdgo
weio so much elated over the arrival of a
steamer with n cargo of 'store goods , ' that
they thought tliov wcro going to RCO a great
city grow up right around them. Theio was
no railroad in that part of the Htate then.
Even the capital , Dei Moines had no rail
road. aud a steamboat line , with all Its possi
bilities of trade , seemed like a big thing.
Hut after our steamer returned , no other
boat attempted to repeat the experiment
Thcro had uot been enough work done on
the river to make navigation ut all safe or
reliable. There wore too many bars mid
shoals and rapids For some time after
boats racvd from Kcokuk to Des Moines ,
but the 'Charles Kodgcrs' was the llrst and
only one that over mudo the voyage clear
tlnougli to Fort Dodge and return. "

by the purchasers of the road at the master's

to be for the purpose of consolidating the

Illinois which , unlike those of Iowa , prevent
a railroad coporatiou of that state from con
voymg its property to a corporation of an

Hut the necessity for these preparations
did not become apparent ut iin.v tlmo during

ami it xv.is practically under the auspices uf
thu police. This took place at Thalia hall ,
OHO Milwaukee avenue. It wus to bo osten
sibly n mooting of doloii.Ues fro.ii the three
socialistic Sunday schools now in existence ,
and Iho object was to form an organi'ation to
tulto uhai'tiu of the secular Sundn.s schools.
Four hundred people were prunt , audit
could lund ly bo bald that the mooting was
con lined entirely to the objects for which it
was convened. Captain Hathaway , in charge
of twenty-lU'o men , was present , but ho saw
lit , however , U ) let the meeting run itscourso
without deeming it necessary to Interfere.
All the proceedings were In ( ionium , and
they consisted in the adoption of a series of
resolutions , the gist of wlncli were emphatic
m denouncing the capitalistic pi ess for ngi-
tatimr the question ol anarchy , and also con
demning the action of the police In stopping
Sunday meetings. Ituyoml tins nothing of u
sensational character occurred ,
L ! re if "s hull , No. 51Vrst Lake street , was
really the center of operations lor the police ,
It was hcio that Cicorgo Engel , in It ii , pro
posed a tcrnblo scheme by which the city
was to be looted nnd the pnlico destroyed ,
and it was this mooting which practically de
cided that which followed on May I , in Hay-

meeting which led to the Interdic
tion ol nil other meetings of anar
chists , whether hold to-dny or any other

lice wab detailed m the neighborhood , and
their principal duty was to keep the crowds
moving. Pohco , hi citl/ous clothes , from
Captain Schauh's district , who were well ac
quainted with the anarchists and their meth

a captain in the Salvation army and an in
fluential member of that organisation , will
bo tried in the courts of Dauphin county in
January next , for a crime , tlio story of which
is evcccdint'ly sad in its particulars. In 1 80
Van Sickle had his headquarters at Man-
helm , Lancaster county , and It was the duty
of himself and wife to visit the neighboring
towns and conduct meetings. On ono occa
sion , while at Mlllersburg , Daunhln county ,
Van Sickle formed the acquaintance of u
joung country girl named Love Feoscr. She
expressed a desire to join tlio army and Van
bicklo permitted her to Join , took her to
the homo of himself and Ilis wife at Man-
helm , and in a short time promoted her to
thu rank of lieutenant in the Salvation band.
Afnn Sickle then , according to the sworn
statement of the girl , effected her ruin , after
which he induced her to accompany him and
his wife to Stcclton , a town four miles from
this city. At this place a child was born to
the unfortunate young girl. Van Sieklo
suggested that the lltlln ono bo placed in the
keeping of "boino charitable family. " Miss
Feoser icfused to part with her child , anil
