Election Tonight and Fort Riley Guard Camp Prospects
The second Iowa National Guard election is held tonight from 7 to 3, with Major Bishop poised to win after Major Dunlap withdraws support.

The Davenport Republican reports the St Paul steamer rebuilt into a floating palace for the St Louis world’s fair, to be 300 feet long and 40 wide, built at Eagle Point Dubuque under Capt.
