1863, and died Tuesday morning at 7 o’clock of consumption. She was
of a bright, witty and cheerful disposition, quick in her mental powers,
and gifted with rare intelligence and strength of purpose. As a pupil
in Parsons College she had few equals. She was a member of the Congregational
Church of this city, which she joined the past winter. Her funeral
yesterday afternoon was conducted by Rev. Dr. M. E. Dwight, who based his
remarks upon Rev. xxii:14, "Blessed are they that wash their robes, that
they may have the right to come to the tree of life, and may enter in by
the gates into the city," assisted by Prof. Boyd and Prof. A. McCalla.
Her remains were deposited in Evergreen cemetery.
LIBERTYVILLE ITEMS. (page 1)
School began Monday under the new management.
Sam Holsinger, Fayettville, Ark., is at
home on a visit.
Leonard Whiteman, Omaha, is visiting with
his friend, Will Winn, this week.
There is a possibility that Libertyville
will have a local paper this coming summer.
Charles Hemingway, not Heminger, is the
butter maker at the creamery, which has started.
Moore & Jackson have purchased their
stock of goods, and will open to their customers this week. They
will receive their share of the patronage.
Sylvester Murray, of Williamsville, Delaware,
is visiting at the residence of his uncle, A. W. Jackson. Mr. Murray
is so well pleased with Iowa that he has concluded to make it his home.
Burk Bishop gave a farewell party to his
numerous friends Tuesday night, and notwithstanding the bad roads and disagreeable
weather, there was a large number present who enjoyed themselves.
The Libertyville dramatic troupe rendered
"Hidden Hand" three nights to large and delighted audiences. Many
were the meeds of praise bestowed on those who carried the heavy parts,
and those who thought the troupe could not handle this play have been considerably
surprised.

SATURDAY SAYINGS. (page.
1)
--------------------
--Albert Maire is in Kansas.
--D. Powers, of Boston, is here.
--D. Levy, of New York, is in the city.
--W. B. Hoyt, of Chicago, was here to-day.
--Isaac Rosenthal, of Chicago, is in the
city.
--School and Dress Hats, and all Fancy Goods,
cheaper than ever, at Mrs. Boling’s, East side park, upstairs.
--F. B. Wilder, of Boston, is in the city
to-day.
--Dr. Crider, the famous specialist, of
Ottumwa, is at the Leggett House.
--We are sorry to know that Mr. C. M. McElroy,
editor of the Tribune, is at home sick.
--THE JOURNAL is the official paper of
the new republican Council.
--The Ledger says the new Council is a
straight republican one. As the Council last night selected THE JOURNAL
as the official paper, does that not establish the genuineness of our republicanism?
--The prominence of the silver coinage
question makes peculiarly timely the paper on "The Bank of England," which
is announced for the May Harper’s. It is to give a clear account
of the history, features and functions of this center of the financial
world.
--It is worth notice that three of the
great English novelists are simultaneously contributing to the Harper periodicals:
Charles Reade, with "A Perilous Secret," to the Bazar; Wilkie Collins,
with "I Say No," to the Weekly; and William Black, with "Judith Shakespeare,"
to the Magazine.
--The Ledger remarked a few weeks since
that we shouldn’t expect too much of the new republican Council, that we
should bear and be patient with them and they would in time revolutionize
things, and bring order out of chaos. Acting on this advice THE JOURNAL
good naturedly received their action, at the first meeting, in selecting
the Ledger to publish one of their official notices, and at the second
meeting in authorizing the Tribune to make an official publication.
But when they got down to business, as they did at their meeting last night,
and selected THE JOURNAL as the paper in which to publish all their official
proceedings during the coming year, we said at once the Ledger’s predictions
were coming true. We can highly endorse the wisdom of the new Council
in selecting THE JOURNAL as the official paper of the city.

--C. L. McGaw, on the west side of the square, has the finest line and best selected stock of Boots and Shoes in the city. Prices low. Go and see him.
MONDAY MELANGE. (page
1)
--------------------
--Who did you say was Sheriff?
--J. A. Kearney, of Chicago, is here.
--H. C. Cook, of Keokuk, was in the city
to-day.
--Reimer Erbst, of Moline, was in the city
yesterday.
--Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Clark returned to
their Kansas home Saturday.
--J. C. Duncan and M. L. Hurd, of Davenport,
were in the city to-day.
--Smoke the "Elephant," the best cigar
in the city for the money. For sale only at Ed Kennefick’s.
--The C., B. & Q. changed time yesterday
and put on several new passenger trains. The correct time-card will
be found in to-day’s JOURNAL.
--The most popular and the most rapid selling
cigar in the city, is the "Elephant," which can be obtained only at Ed.
Kennefick’s Palace Saloon.
--W. B. Murray returned Saturday evening
from his trip to Old Mexico. He says the property of the Sterling
Silver Mining Company is the biggest thing on earth.
--Dr. J. Jackson Crider, of the Ottumwa
Medical Infirmary, is one of the most eminently successful physicians in
the West. He has cured hundreds of suffering patients when other
physicians have given them up to die. If you are afflicted in any
way, you cannot afford to stay away from Dr. Crider. Read his column
advertisement in THE WEEKLY JOURNAL, and go and see him, or write to him
giving a plain statement of your case.
--We see by the Dubuque Telegraph that
Mayor Fred O’Donnell, who was raised in this city, was on Monday last,
presented with an elegant cane, a gift from the Irish American Benevolent
Society of Galena. It was an agreeable surprise to Mr. O’Donnell,
who was in the vicinity of the Second ward polls when a messenger arrived
and requested his presence at his office. When he reached it he was
confronted by a number of prominent citizens of Galena, and in a neat speech
was presented with a beautiful gold-headed cane by Mr. M. Birmingham in
behalf of the Society of the Lead City. Mr. O’Donnell expressed his
gratitude in a neat little speech. The head of the cane is inscribed
as follows: "Presented to Hon. Fred O’Donnell by the I. A. B. Society of
Galena, March 17th, 1884." To be presented with a gold-headed cane
on the same day he was re-elected mayor of Dubuque by nearly two thousand
majority, is certainly sufficient honors for one day. But they were
most worthily bestowed on an excellent young man. The only fault
we can find with Fred, is the same that exists in Charley Leggett.
But they will both get over that bye and bye
--A sensation was created in this city
Saturday by Mr. G. D. McGaw, while casually looking over the poll books,
discovering an error in adding up the vote of Polk township, which would
have made his majority for sheriff, two, instead of tie as returned by
the Board of Canvassers. It seems the Board, in figuring up the result,
took only the totals as returned by the township canvassers, and did not
foot up the figures to see if the totals were correct. The total
vote for McGaw in Polk township is put down at 129, when a careful adding
up of the figures show he received 131 votes. A re-count of the tickets
at Abingdon to-day by Mr. McGaw and Mr. Harrison, shows that Mr. McGaw
received precisely 131 votes. These are the hard facts, and from
them it is quite evident that Mr. McGaw was elected Sheriff, and was counted
out by a careless mistake in addition. The time has elapsed for contesting
the election of Mr. Harrison, but it is the unanimous opinion of the democratic
bar that the matter can be opened up by a write of quo warranto, which
would compel Mr. Harrison to show by what authority he holds the office.
We understand that Mr. Harrison, who has at all times shown himself a perfect
gentleman in the matter, says he will resign and let the Board appoint
Mr. McGaw. But this would give Mr. McGaw the office until the next
general election only, while a writ of quo warranto, if successful, would
give him the office for the full term for which he was elected.

If dame rumor is correct, wedding bells
will ring in the village ere many moons.
F. T. Anderson begun a Spring term of school
at the Balding school house on Monday.
John H. Merckens, one of the good boys
of the Tribune, was in the city on Monday last.
Rev. E. M. Snook, of Fairfield, will fill
the vacancy of pastor at the Presbyterian church for a season at least.
Considerable excitement concerning the
cattle disease among the stock men of this vicinity. A. G. Hague
lost two head from the plague.
The Odd Fellows have treated the inside
of their hall to some fine ornamental work in wall paper. Hi Smith,
the boss plasterer, done the job.
There was a social party given at the residence
of A. W. Jackson Saturday night, in which quite a number of the young folks
in the village participated.
Public school is progressing finely under
the new management, and the hope is entertained that the standard of education
will be raised from what it has been in the past.
TUESDAY TIT-BITS.(page 8)
--W. M. Pyle, Indianapolis, is in the city.
--C. J. Haggart, of Cleveland, is in the
city to-day.
--James Hoskinson, of Perlee, was in town
to-day and favored us with a call.
--C. S. McElhinney and E. M. Snook will
take in the New Orleans excursion.
--Ed Nichols and T. J. Knouse, two lively
C., R. I. & P. boys from Eldon, were in the city yesterday.
--Albert Mair has returned from his visit
to his parents in Kansas, and reports having a pleasant and enjoyable trip.
--Fred E. Eldred, the genial representative
of the Illinois Type Founding Co., of Chicago, was in the city to-day,
and gave us a pleasant call.
--W. W. Hartman, Sheriff of Muscatine County,
W. P. Crawford and M. Beck, Deputies, were in the city yesterday, on their
way to Mt. Pleasant with two insane persons by the name of D. Donovan and
G. W. Wiley.
--We re-publish to-day our list of the
members of the Telephone Exchange, corrected to date, and place under it
the time card of the Railway companies. The members of the Exchange
will find it convenient to cut out and paste alongside their instruments.
--The status of the Sheriff question remains
the same as yesterday. The facts are, as stated yesterday, that Mr.
McGaw was fairly elected Sheriff, but was counted out by either fraud or
carelessness, and until shown otherwise, let us be charitable enough to
believe it the latter. What will be the outcome we cannot say, but
one thing is certain, no man could act more honorable in the premises than
has Mr. Harrison. His course has elicited the admiration and sympathy
of all.
THE JOURNAL is looming
up as a county paper here, and is highly appreciated by all its patrons,
as it represents fairly the interests of all parts of the county.
That is what all the papers have not done, particularly this side of the
creek.
The new store of Moore & Jackson is
attracting admiration. It is admitted by everyone that they have
the finest and most complete line of groceries ever brought to Libertyville,
and as a consequence they are at once commanding a good share of the patronage
of the community. They are both old settlers and well known, polite
and obliging, and the strongest firm financially in the place.

Mr. McGaw will be designated the legal Sheriff, and Mr. Harrison will have
the best wishes of the people of the county for his straightforward, unselfish,
manly and magnanimous course.
