To the People of Iowa County.


MIRERAL PoINr, r. r., SuPr's OFFICE,
Mineral Point March 9th, ISL,
The owners of the Mineral Roint Rail
road are DESTROYS of extending the Road
through Iowa County to the Wisconsin
River, and thence north, 90 as to open to
our citizens through the county direct
railroad communication with the Lake
Shore cities, and also with the lumber
regions of the north and the vast North>
west
TO this end they have authorized me
to solicit your aid and assistance through
the county and town organizations, in
such way as may be legally done. | will
lay before you in few days the law of
our State for 1870 and as amended in
1871 for consideration in connection with
the matter, in which you will find that
provision is made for authorizing towns
to render such assistance.)
Under this law, Cor in any other way
that may be deemed most advisable) you
are solicited to vote the needed aid, in
payment of which will give you of the
present Iowa county indebtedness dollar
for dollar to the extent of 100000, and
to greater extent if can procure the
control of more of the Indebtedness.
The holders of the Iowa county in-
debtedness have pledged to me the use
of their demands against the county to
the amount of 100000, to be used in
extending the Railroad, and they hope
to place 100000 more OF the same in
debetedness in my hands to be used for
the same purpose, in short time.
If the towns, together with the county,
will assist me to the amount of $500 600,
to be used in the construction Of the
Railroad through the county as the work
progresses, | will undertake to complete
the road to the Wisconsin River within
one year The assistance thus rendered
will all be expended in the county. 1t
will also be the means of paying 80
much Of an existing debt and will give
the people Of the county the benefit of
an additional public Improvement cost
ing near one million Of dollars and will
add largely to the material prosperity of
the county-results much greater than
the cost Of the improvement.
Whatever proportion of the above in-
debtedness the county will pay shall be
expended, as above proposed, in the work
through the county, and to accomplish
this great result, shall need the hearty
cooperation OF all the citizens who have
the public welfare at heart. | shall CONS
mence a survey of the route at an early
day, and may survey two routes and fix
upon the most feasible, and the one upon
which the most aid can be procured. AS
soon as the survey is made ! shall be
prepared to make and receive prop
positions, and in the meantime | shall be
happy to meet any committees and in>
dividuals and confer with them about de-
tails, &c.
Very respectfully,

jackson, of Rock Island, Jameson and two
assistants, entered my land and cut road
way through, allowing oil the water which
Jameson had previously pumped on to his
land to flow over mine to the damage of
property, which they have never since made
good or repaired. They also cut open a box
100 yards from the division line, following
more water to spread. All the work per
formed by me has been on my own land en-

PLANTATION BIrTERs given 10 moderate
doses and proper intervals, would have the

CAMDEN CORRESPONDENCE.

CAMDEN, Jan. 18th, 1871.
The good people of Moline made raid on
our town last night in force. There were
about twenty five couple of as jolly souls as
are usually seen together. The party headed
by keator and Harwood, arrived at the
Whitehead House about nine o'clock, where
they were Joined by several couple of our
citizens. From the business like manner In
which all hands went to work on the boun.
tiful supper, that Ira had provided, showed
the manner in which they appreciated his
excellent effort. After supper the party
repaired to f. n. Young's Hall, where they
danced until the wee small hours OF morning,
Everything passed off sociable and pleas
ant.
One of our prominent citizens who is In
the habit of wearing rather seedy coat,
went into q store yesterday, of one of our
merchants. The merchant told him it look
ed bad to see a gentleman like him, with
such q coat on, and told him if he would
pull it off and throw it in the store, he would
get him a better one. The merchant put
up ten dollars to secure a faithful perform
ance OF. the agreement on his par: so off
came the coat, and into the stove it went.
The merchant stepped out on the
sidewalk and got boy to
go to the gentleman's house
and bring around his sunday go-to meeting
coat and handed it him-the owner received
it amid q loud burst of laughter, and asked
the crowd down TO 10. Meehan's-a better

MISS MOLINE UP IN ARMs.-This pert
little misshas been sleighriding and GALL
wanting around on runners until she has be-
come very important for one of her tender
wears, and this afternoon exhibited her tenn
per ia a not very handsome light. 1t seems
the President of the Street Railway for some
reason has refused TO pay certain taxes that
Moline authorities thought proper to assess
against said company, amounting to about
$500. Whereupon Miss Moline, to main
tain her dignity and bring.the Street Railway
to terms, served upon one of the cars and
stood ready to take more as fast as they
should arrive within her borders. Word
was sent along the line and all cars ordered
10 stop just this side of the line that bounds
this raging little miss. 1t it quite probable
when the ssleighing disappears she will be
running her one car to her city limits.
This is pretty bird that wishes to be unit.
ed to this city. What little
termagant she may prove and what
dissentions she may kick up if united to this
city we may learn too late, however We hope
she is happy in the possession Of her one
horse car and her little bit of railway. Let
her run it alone awhile and she will feel
better.

CONSOLIDATION.

c.p.. Robinson introduced the
e,uov;nc r.solution
p..oysd, That is is for the interests of
| both cites 10 unite.
rhe question was reviewed in eli its bear.
ings by the gentlemen of the committee.
Capt. Robinson said that although he had
talked with many of our citizens upon this
subject, he had found but one opposed to it.
Mr.. Sweeney believed that unless the inter
vening ground between the cities could be
secured by the proposed change, it would be
useless to make any attempts at consolida-
ton. Mr.. Charles Deere, of Moline, wanted
the same representation for Moline as fol
Rock Island. Mr.. Osborn thoughtrepresen
tation was the leading question. He alst
thought that each place should pay its owl
debts. The question was called on Capt
kobinson's resolution, and the vote wa
unanimous for the affirmative. The Chair
man wanted Moline to retain her postoffic'
and railroad station, and to receive the ben
eft of the taxes of her citizens in the i'm
provement of her own streets. Mr.. Skinne
believed that if any channge was to be mad,
in the manner of expending the mon
ey raised for street improvements
a consolidation would be an impossibility
After prolonged discussion upon the sub
ject of o proper basis upon which g consol
dation could be effected, the gentlemen came
to the conclusion that il was no. a duty o
the present com mittee to settle such basis
and upon motion a sub committee was chos
en- for that object. A ballot was taken with
the following result:
Rock Islsnd-C. Lynde, Jr., c. NJ. Os-
born, and T. j. Robinson.
Moline-J. NJ. Gould, Chas. II. Deere
and J. L. Browning.
Intervening territory-Mr. Brooks.
The committees then adjourned
subject to the call of the chairman
and the subcommittee then met and agreed
to assemble at itohell Ma Lynde's Bank, OF
Monday evening next, at o'clock, to con
slider the subject of proper basis. Thu
committee will not report for two or three
weeks, and when such report is made it vii
