The work of securing the bond will bo re-

Grand Chancellor C. C. Dow ell and Grand
Keeper of Records and Seal H. D. Walker
reached the city for the purpose of making
some InqulrlcA Into the character and quan
tity of the hecpltallty that will be extended
to the members- the order when they

the city on Saturday night , a&d after meetIng -
Ing a number of members ot Concordla and
St. Altar.fi lodges decided It best to call a
meeting ot the local committee > cttcrda >
afternoon for the purpose of discussing the
matter. The committee- composed ot
active members of Ihe two lodges and the ,
Uniform Hack. There was a full attend-
anc" and the grand officers were given ample '
essracce that their Council Illuffs 'brethren
wcro amply able to take care of the multi
tude expected to be here next summer. It
U estimated that the grand lodge rneet'ag
will bring at least 2,000 people here There
will be over COO past chancellors for the
grand lodge degree. The order Is very
strong In Ion * , and the grand lodge meet
ings have alwajs called out a Urge attend
ance , and It U believed that with the added
attractions ot the Transm as'sslppl Exposition
nearl } double the usual number will come.
If this provc.3 to be the cast ? the attendance
will be several thousand. The session will
last almost a week , four dajs being set
aside from the active'business ' of the neEC-cu
and a day OB two for visiting and social la-
lereourse The grand officers , realizing the
unti3ii.il Importance of the meeting , were
anxious to know the preparations that were
being made and ! m prospect for the proper
handling of the multitude. The assurances
they received at the meeting jesterday were
amply satisfactory.
It was decided to arrange for the setting
apart of a ( lay to bo known as the "Knights
of I'jtlilas Day" at the exposlllon All of
the members of the local committee were
favomble to this , and the grrad. ofllcers did
nol perceive any obstacle yesterday that
woulfli Interfere to prevent It. The general
opinion was thaU the appointment of such a
6iy would be necessary to prevent a large
percentage of the delegates sllpp'ng away
each da > to ctlead the exposition The In
itial stcrs were taken yesterday for the in
troduction of the ncccsEarj resolution at the
Leglcn'ng cf the session , and there Is ver >
UH'e doubt but that It will be Indorsed by

There Is In the city of Burlington n man
who once jourao > ed up the Mississippi and
passed tha ! point without seeing Burlington
or any suggestion of It , sajs the Hawkeje of
that city. This was not because hit oeslght
was poor or that he h-adtt't any opportunity
to eec all therewas. to be e < cn , but because
there wasn't nnvtlilnp. to be seen.
Visiting this city at the home of hU
ocphovv , Samuel P. Gilbert , Is one ot the
first visitors to Burllagton now living. 01U
ver Gilbert ot Louisville , K ) . , is 77 > cars of
age. acd the oldcu of eight children , three
of his blathers , now dead , being for many
> ears In the lurr.ver business In this city. In
1S2S Oliver Gilbert , then , a boy nearly 8
years ot age , accompanied by his parents
from tbu little town of Louisville , tossed
donn the Ohio to the MW-sslppl acd there
embarked on the steamer Lady Washington
tor the sparsely Inhabited region of the uppei
Mississippi. O c morning the boat stopped
at the not thorn end of an abrupt bluff known
as Flint Hills , on the wuit bank of the
river. A rude cabin , built of roughly hewed
toft.1 , w > is the only sign of habitation. Io- !
slde it was a huge pile otooj cut Into
Itifcths eullable for the furnaces of steam-
boate. The spot wau the site ot the future
Burlington and the fuel was cut from the
timber which grew on , the present line of
South Main street Standing on the shore
watching the roustabouts oirrjlng the wooc
on boari was a tall , painted Indian , droisei
In his deer skins nnd blanket
and looking very fierce and awe-In
spiring to the little lad on the upper
deck The older people talked of the
eoll , the value of the timber and the out
look tor buelnos in Uu wild countr > , bu
the boy never took hla eyes off the Indian
When'Iho boat pulled out Into the stream the
Iddlan pprang Into his canoe anil followed
paddling as hard as he could. Speaking o
the circumstances recently , Mr Gilbert sili
he still remembered the terror with whlcl
the pursuing Indian filled his mind
nought then , " said he. "that If he overtook
us he wouldi kill us nil. I afterwm
learned that the cause of his pursuit was th
fact that the steward was throning big
crackera Into the river for the red man t
row after '
"Ti.ls was a sparsely fettled country , " salt
Mr. Gilbert. "From Keokuk to Rock Islan
there were no habitations > jnd the culj rw
sco that any one lived hi those two point
was because a force of men was necessar
at Keakuk to help transport boats over tn
rapids , while it Rock Island was Post Stev
ensca. When beats reached the Keoku
laplds itwas neceisary to remove Ihe lo-ac -
transport It over the rapids -In lighters am
the boat thus relieved of welcht could EC
over. St. LouU had then 'about as many
houses as on one street in Burllngtco now. "
INDIANS IN WISCONSIN.
Mr. Gilbert and his parents disembarked
at Cassvllle , Wls. , where there was a big
party of Indians of the 6acs and Poxes
Right In the midst of these Indians Mr
Gilbert spent nearly all of his life , conductIng -
Ing a lumber business * .with its big com-
papy store Indlanapatronized his * sfojt ,
paying fcjr fobd , clothing , ! "Ammunition and
tobacco \\lth pelts , sklna and fancj trinkets
of Indian workmanship.
During fie Blackl.awk war great excite
ment existed at Prairie Du Chlen. the
bloodthirsty Sioux were on the west bank
of the Mississippi. The Sacs and Poxes ,
under Blac'khawk , occupied the territory cast
of the river and th ° soldiers were gradually
drawing the net tighter about them , forcing
them toward th& stream. For a time the
nconle of Prairie Du Ch'en were almost sure
that llu final battle would bo In and about
their town. The Indians , however , drew
away to the north and when thirty or forty
iiilkfl above Prah-le Du Chlen the final
struggle came With the soldiery pushing
tl'em eastward with an irresistible force
they reached the river. A little steamer
was coming down and wa hailed by an
Indian woo waved a flag ot truce and urged
them to land. Sitting upon the pilot house
was a Slcux squaw , who was acting as
Interpreter. The boat had almost reached
the- shore -when she cried out : "Back away
they are not our friend- ! ' " The wheel was
reversed and the boat moved away from
shore amidst a shower of bullets and ar
rows.
pnuos or THC TRIBES.
Upon arriving at Pralile Du Chien , several
small cannon and a troop of soldiers were
taken on board and a return made There ]
were Indians In groups all alng tfoe cast
bank and en the Is'ands , while over on the
west tank were thousands of Sioux waiting
for a chance to kill the followers of Black-
hawk. A general attack was made anJ
nearly two-thirds of the followers of Black-
hawk were killed and the chieftain taken
nrUcner. "Tho famous war chief , " said Mr.
Gilbert , "was almost as black as a negro ,
and had a long hooked dose , through whl"h
was a nose ornament of lead , I saw him
when cultured Ho was very down-hearted
and seemed to have lost all his fierceness.
also saw the chief , Keokuk , at Davenport ,
many times , Keokuk was a lazy Indian and
quite the cppcalte of lilackhawk In cbarac-
r.
r.In relating personal remlnlscenses , Mr. Gll-
icrt told ot numerous battles of the Indiana ,
'ItinebAROcs against Menomlncci , and , no-
Ably , of a feud between Mcnomlnecs And the
acs and Pox tribes , While living In the
ncrlcs onwhat was known AS neutral

nc time twenty-seven being killed In plain

Once Mr. Gilbert came near owning a largo
Ice of Chicago. Ho drove there with a team
nd while btilng goods was offered 100 acres
T what Is now n part of Chicago's business
Intrlct , for an even (100 , and not being able
o peer Into the future , ho refused to make
10 purchase. Ho Uughed as ho
elated the story of a visit to htm , shortly
tier he moved Into the iplncrlcs. The In-
Inns sent him word they were coming anil
IPwas expecting them almost any day , when
Icssrs. Carson and Eaton , who were pioneer
umber merchants tn Burlington , called upon
ilm. The next -day after their arrival about
orty Indians surrounded the house , and with
he mo t fearful cries began dancing and
irandlshlng their weapons. The men from
lurllnRtonwere badly frightened nndwould
mvo been glad to have surrendered their
lossesslons In this city for an opportunlly to
scape. Mr. Gllbcit and his eon went out and
olned the Indians in the dance and then pre-
icnled them with flour , bacon nnd other gro
ceries , parting on the best of terms with
the red men.
Mr. Gilbert Is a Tcraarkably well preserved
man. looking no more than CO jcars of ago
nnd standing as erect as a man of 40. Ho
expects to return to his Kentucky home after
