Setting Hens.

Thirteen eggs are about the number that an
ordinary hen will cover. Ten will answer
and if the eggs are valuable, ten are enough.
The nest should be 50 nearly level that no egg
can get beneath the others-which circumstance
when the nest is too deep, works death.
The location should be so out Of the way

THE MOZART WATCH.

The committee chosen and sent to Ann
Arbor, Mich, to examine into the standing,
as we'll as the works of the Mozar. Watch
Company, that proposes to locate in this
vicinity, have returned and will meet for the
purpose of reporting to those interested, at
the City Conncil rooms, on next Tuesday
evening, Oct. 4th.
The committee have satisfied themselves
that there is money in the project and when
all the facts in the case are stated, it is
quite probable an effort will be made TO
secure the necessary capital, $500, 000) to
effect the removal to this place. The com.
mittee spent some three or four hours in the
Elgin Watch Works, and learned many
particulars that will be interesting and valu.
able ia case these works are located here.
The Elgin Works now employ two hundred
men and two hundred and eighty five girls,
and are turning on. on an average one hun
dred aud ten watches daily. They have q
paid up capital of S85o,000, on which last
year they made thirty per cent
clear profit, from which it is
safe to conclude that none of
that stock Ia for sale at this writing. The
Mozart Watch is pronounced by experience
ed watch makers to be equally as good, if
no. far superior, by reason Of the small
number of pieces Used, its simplicity and
durability, aud can be manufactured at less
than one half the cost. If these things be true,
and it is so thought by the committee, they
establish the fact beyond a doubt that any
il vestment in this direction will pay directly.
Probably the bes, location for these works,
where they will be removed from dust and
where facilities are unsurpassed for manu-
featuring, and where there is already sub.
stantial evidences, in guaranteed land for
buildings and stock ready TO be described, OF
interest in the enterprise, is Camden. But
these are details to be considered hereafter.
First let us hear the report of the committee,
and for this purpnse let all who are interest
ed IN the enterprise and the material interest
oi The three cities. for We consider that in
eli such things Moline, Rock Island and
oanaen should be united, be present at the
meeting at the Council Rooms on Tuesday
evening,

tanning anthony, which is just ss useless
ana injurious to him as is the constantly

Questions for John B. Hawlsy and the Rock

Why is the United States the second
heaviest taxed nation of the world?

Why did the very loyal soidierloving
Hawley vote against paying soldiers boun-
ties through Postmasters?
Why did Hawley vote to give railroads
ten years to claim land grants and to give
soldiers, only SIR months to secure home
steads q?
Why were the congressional expenditures
during Is months of Grants administration
four times what they were during the same
time under Buchanans.
Why were these expenditures during the
same time under Grant orer one million and
three hundred thousand dollars more than
during the same length of time under
Johnson's administration?
Why did Hawley vote to do away with
the tax on gross receipts and to continue
the infamous income tax?
Why did Hswley vote to relieve rich
bankers from paying OceT ten million dollars
taxes and sllow the taxation of other prop
erty to make up the deficiency .?
| Why did he vote to excuse rich capital
lists from paying over t,c,onty millions Of
tax on incomes, and make the farmer pay
two and half per cen, on his scanty in
come?
Whv did Hswley adrise the authorities
at. Washington to XIII both the bills Cor a
horse railway across the government brid ge
at this point?
Why did Hswley outherod Herod in the
most Infamous speech, on the admission of
Virginia?
Wha, special claims has Hawley to be
returned to the seat he has disgraced?
What single vote did he CO st in the inter.
est of his constituents, aud western inter.
ests?
Where and when has he exhibited any
of those qualities of craftsmanship that fit a
man for the position he seeks.
Where is the man that can bring the first
just charge against Mr.. Gable that he is not
all that the people desire for an able, honest
and capable representative.
Hswley begs and buys bis nomination
Mr.. Cable has the nomination forced upon
him.
Where is the man who will answer these
questions? Is it j Ohm B. Hswley ? Is it the
editor of The Union?
Where is the man?
All through the length of the district
comes the echo-THere.
From the farmyards-from the pillow fields
from the workshops-fro the stores Of
the cities and villsges-from every place
where a republican can be found comes the
answer: Let Hawley answer. He was
our chosen representative. He did these
thugs and he must dRSrer."

LITTLE Boy DROWNED IL DAVENPORT
Another terrible warning to parents who
allow their children to play about the river
occurred yesterday afternoon GU tie other
side of the river. George, the little five year
son OF S r. Mitchell, and his brother two
wears older and two other boys about the
same age were playing on raft, when q
board hoated past close to the raft, upon
which little George put his foot aud fell in
the river and Immediately sank. The other
children got mis- hat from the water, and
without calling to men fishing on the raft,
ran home. There, little Charlie pnt his
brothers hat away, and not finding his
mother, ran to his fathers carpenter shop,
on Third street, near Perry, where he met
his mother, and told her that his brother had
fallen il the river. Mr.. Mitchell and his
wife hurried to the spot. The body was
found at about half past six o'clock. The
child was bright little fellow, aud
the parents will have the sympathy of parents
and many others. Funeral takes place to.

GRIT.

Under this caption the Davenport Demo
crat pays deserved compliment to our
favorable location, which will not harm to
have pasted on every business desk in this
city. Many of our citizens have exhibited
just such qualities as are asked for in the
article and We now commend it to any who
may be lacking.
The sensational, high pressure, lightning
ex press city of Chicago, has distanced ali
com petitors in the race for size, wealth and
popula,;ou since that apocryphal traveller
refusad n bargain the horse he rode for the
nar,b IL stands on. 1t can now boast of
getting up the biggest fires, the most
the greatest number of divorces, and the
adopted nine who can whip all creation q. -
base ball, and give one in The position OF
Chicago would not originally account lot i.'
present in portance. There are many Poihts
IN the lake quite as advantsgeously situated,
vh;ch have scarcely fishing village, and
90 must look to some other cause, and that
cause was grit. Pure, unsdu!terated, not
to be whipped grit-thAt WAS what made
Chicago. One tenth--nay, one hundredth
of Davenport, Rock Island and Moline,
would unite these three cities in one, and
speedily cause right here to rise city to
which ST. Louis and Chicago would be
mere suburban villages. We have the
point, the delta formed by Rock river, and
the Mississippi would be filled with mills,
which might eclipse the world. for nature
has provided water power inexhausuble
which would furnish machinery enough to
turn another solar system out of chaos. We
have river which could bear upon its
bosom the whole produce of a quarter Of
the globe. we have the lands around US
which yield inexhsustibe supplies, we have
exactly the point where the greatest arse
nails, Notifications and government works In
America will inevitably be placed. The
Islard is bound to be the great stronghold
of Uncle Sans dominions. We have that
central portion which ought to secure the
capitol. In fact we have every thing nature
can supply to make our tr,plet cities the one
great city of America. We have a good
start and fair share of Chicago grit would
ensure right here on the plains of Camden
the flats of Rock Island, the meadows of
Moline and the bluffs of Davenport the
London of the Western Hemisp here. For
eign immigration as naturally tends to this
point as the needle TO the pole and why
cannot the great manufacturers which are
in the Old World, the strength of its cities,
be fostered among US? Our tate Is IN our
own hands, and if we do not become the
ID on ster city of the universe we may blame
our own parsimony and not bounteous
nature.

CARD
From the National kIgin Watch ca.

The attention of watch-buyers is called tn.
following improvements in the American Wat
ches, manufactured by the national (Elgin)
Watch Com any OF Elgin, H.:
The Klgin Watches are furnished with Burt s
pa ent pinlon, to prevent damage to the train in
case of the breaking of the main spring.
The Elgin Watches are furnished with pat
ent hair spring stud, to prevent the changing
the injustment of the hair spring after the watch
has been regulated.
The Elgin Watches are furnished with . pat
ented contrivsnce for the letting down of the
main spring without removing the dial or hands.
The Elgin Watches are SO constructed that
the barrel can be removed and the main spring
changed without taking the watch down.
The Eigin Watches are furnished with the on
ly complete protection against dust yet intro
duced upon American made movements. The
dust excluder used upon the Ell. in movements
efeetually encloses the works, and renders the
entrance of dust an impossibility.
These improvements are peculiar to the Elgin
Watct es, and are fOuI on none others. The
dust-excluder will especially commend itself to
miners, railroad men, and others engaged in
out of-door employment
The EIgin Watch branded "B. ". Raymond
