MONUMENT FOR DUBUQUE.

Memory of the lowa Pioneer to Be Fittingly Honored. The Early Settlers’ Association and the lowa Institute of Science and Arts have formed a joint association which will rear a monument upon the grave of Julian Dubuque. This is upon the top of a ma-

jestic bluff a mile below the city of Dubuque and overlooking the Mississippi. Dubuque’s claim to honor rests on the fact that he was the first settler. Ex-Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii has returned to Washington, D. C., from her visit to San Francisco. Accompanying her were Joseph Helelulhe, her secretary, and several friends who recently arrived at San Francisco from the islands. The ex-queen’s stay in the city is indefinite. Zephaniah Jones, one of the oldest and most respected builders and contractors in Washington, D. C., was killed by a collision with a middle-aged bicyclist named Reuben F. Gray, who is employed as a clerk in one of the branches of the government printing office.
