what others have said-it is one Of the
smartess cities in the State. Il needs no
prophetic pen to write it city destined,
when is facilities ere oil developed
to stand second TO none in the State,
in wealth and snssrpsise. There 10 . pc
culisr ''muehaess" about it 10 one. Who.
Wsstsa like, attempts 70 ciscu nscsibe il.
Lie sisuation has similarity 10 Davenport,
in ito rising bluffs, not - steep. but rough
er. Its business must be Of considerable
importance, being center Of trade To- the
country hundred miles around in every
direction. 1t appears from ito situation to
bs the depot for oil the msrketabls grain Of
the Wsstssn and Northwestern counties Of
the State. We learned that the srsnufse-
turing interests have more than efisls in
shs last three years, and they srs NOS now
half developed There is in their facilities
for nearly oil kinds Of manufacturing, un-
told wealth, il the right kind Of enterprise
10 manifested.
The Chicago, Rock Island &. Pacific road
has just reached the city, and the
Company ere now Lsidging the river
and pushing on West. When they
shall reach tae Missouri rive. We ap-
~ Nm nd
travel that now stops there will 60 on
through or TO points or further West, yet il
will always control the trade more or less
Like sensible people they are building a
street railroad, which, with them seems to be
matter Of necessity owing tothe distance
from one part Of the city to another. Wheth
crit will pay Or not 10 another question.
Wsnoticsd several magnificent residence
in process Of erection. B. F. Allen is build
ing ono which rumor says will cost thu
princely fortune of 425o,00O. Judge Coli
is building one that 10 estimated at . cos
Of s25, 900.
The school authorities are also keeping
pscs With our city in the matter Of new
buildings for school purposes.
OF tho business blocks Of the city tn
pointing establishment of Mills L Go. vii
probably Be the finest, and worthy the ez
ANIMATION Of every visitor to the city. On
compliments 70 M. Mills for his trouble i
showing us through the building. We NJ
our old friends Jenkins L Staub. Of th
.StotesmaN, and several whom ws hope
know better, among these the gsntlsmsnl
"Rss" Clarkson, Of the Rsgistsr.
For the benefit Of many whom ws hear
complaining about the railroad acommoda
tions ws will state that the company inten
putting sleeping cars on the road - soon Z
the cars for that purpose can DO completed
There is great necessity for such accommt
dations as by for the greater numter trav,
now BY night. With our capital city y
shall, for few years at least, contest tn
right Of being ahead, at the same time, how
ever, granting her place among the leat
ing cities Of the State.
Tns PEORIA AND RocK ISLAND r. r.
II takes money 10 build railroads, a.
somebody has to subscribe and pay to sta,
the building. The people Of Princsville vi
lags are TO have an election on the propos
ton to subscribe $50, 900 in aid Of this roa
With the condition that it shall run throug
Priuceville, and that the stock shall not /
taken until the road is built, and cars ru,
ming to that point.
Tho good people Of Teulon. Essex, Penl
aud Valley townships. Stark county,
mass meeting Say they are in favor Of ',
ting tax to aid in The construction Of Il
P. I r. I. r. r., and will use their be-
efforts to secure . sufficient tax-sav $50
600 in each township-for that purpos
with she understanding that no bonds shs
bs issued until the road 10 complete
through the towns Of Wyoming aud To,
l,n.
This is oil very good in its way but won
build the road. Such . subscription
worthless in the hands Of the Directors.
They have pledged themselves TO those vi
elected them, not to expend dollar beyor
that required for the survey, until sufi cc
stock is subscribed 10 build the entire lin
Let these places make conditions that Il
road shall run through the above places al
put their money in with the others and
sutficien. sum is raised the road will
forthcoming. Everybody wants the roa
they say it will be good thing, will bsne
l the place, benefit them and now what
wanted is for every one TO come down,
once, with SUN propor.ionate TO the ben
fit they will derive. This being lavish wi
, good wishes, promises to think Of it, pro,
, ises to take stock. when the cars are ru
ming to your doors, won't do the gradil
and track laying. The Directors cam
, spend = dollar beyond the survey un
> enough 10 subscribed to complete the roa
The sooner that sum 10 raised, the soou
we shall have the road and it's benefits.
! our citizens consider the matter, calcula
the direct benefit they uill receive ard ha
, their minds made up ~ to how much th
will give and then do it. Work can just
