No Show For Quay Ends Senate Bid Feared
The steering committee led by Allison and Aldrich has erased Quay from the Senate. Democrats appointed by governors would block seating two votes for one Republican, and贸the Mantle and Corbett precedent will guide the final action. Quay’s political career appears closed as he faces a bleak return to the next legislature. A separate note reports alarm over rising U.S. foreign trade and Europe’s arms concerns as exports to Europe grow rapidly.

How I Happened To Come To Dubuque
A stormy March morning in 1863 sparked a chain of events that led the narrator to Dubuque. He travels via Chicago and the old Chicago Galena line, meets Patrick Robb who is negotiating to buy the Dubuque Herald, and after months of delays moves to Dubuque as city editor for Hutchins. The piece ends with a moral about seizing small chances and a teaser about a St Boniface Young Men’s Secrets of St Mary’s entertainment on January 7 1900.
