The Manufacturers and Others Furnishing
Supplies to Oranges.

To the Editors of The Rock island Argus
As there is to be a special meeting Of the
State Grange of Patrons of Husbandry in
Illinois held at Bloomington on the 4th of
April have thought it would afford man
utacturers and others very good opportu-
nifty to exhibit the wares they have offered
to members of the order. The convention
will be composed of one representative
from each county, but although it will not
consist of vast crowds, such as would as
semble at a fair, yet it would be of more
practical advantage TO the exhibitor, as ev-
cry one there will be directly and person
lily interested.
Some of the goods offered US are not
widely known, and | can conceive of no
plan by which you can 50 cheaply present
your wares to the attention of those with
whom you propose to trade In view of
this, / have requested all the Oranges in
the State to be sure that their county shall
! be represented You are therefore cor
consideration. This invitation is not ex-
propositions to us, but also to all who mag
| choose to do so.
The courtesies and kindness shown by
, the citizens Of Bloomington to the members
of the State Grange, at their meeting in
| December last, are sufficient assurance OF
the cordiality with which they will welcome
| you to their city on such an enterprise.
Respectfully yours, s, }. FREw.

The Rock Island Convention

A cheap Transportation Convention, with
special reference to the proposed canal be-
tween the Upper Illinois River and the
Mississippi at Rock Island, will be held at
Rock Island on the oath inst Chicago and
Northern Illinois, and especially the entire
Upper Mississippi Valley, ARE deeply inter
ested in the success of this enterprise,
How can it be accomplished is the ques-
ton to which the Convention will doubtless
give large share of its attention, 1t is
to be hoped they may be able to End a
satisfactory solution of the problem. OF
the value of the work to the farming and
the commercial interests of our city and
the entire Northwest. there can be no diff
ference of opinion. The Chicago Board of
Trade yesterday instructed its President to
appoint delegation of fifteen members to
represent that body at the Convention, and
the other associations of merchants in this
city will do we'll to follow this example. =

columns of paid puffery to convince the

Forging Made Easy...Egglesht's Method.

The forgeries of Egglesht created won
der in the minds of many people, at the
time of his arrest-they were so rerfect.
Here, in Grand Rapids, and elsewhere, the
gentlemen whose names were forged to the
false checks on the banks were unable to
tell the difference between their genuine
signatures, and the ones Egglesht placed
upon paper. They all made EXPLANATIONS
similar to the calculations of the first party
here who saw the forged check, that's my
writing, there no doubt of that, but
never wrote that check
But the wonder over the work of the ac-
compEshed rascal is at an end Since his
arrest the manner in which he succeeded in
accomplishing his work has become known
and two or three parties that we know of
have tried the art of forging according to
the Egglesht secret, and have succeeded
admirably.
1t will be remembered that Egglesht
during his brief career as grain and COM
mission merchant, procured number of
blank checks from each of the four firms
whose names he used on that famous Sat
urday when he played his full hand al
each of the several banks These checks
were for small acknowledgements fol-
sacks or for small quantities of grain. Egg
glesht made study of these checks--hs
experimental with them. In order to gel
the names perfectly, he placed a genuine
check on window pane, and fastened {
blank check over its surface the writing
on the under check would show through
the paper, and could be seen distinctly
Egglesht took pencil and traced the sig
nature carefully at the proper place on the
everything check, aud then used the per
over the tracing thus made. In this way
he made from six to dozen copies of eact
check, and selected the most perfect one!
for his use in swindling the banks.
Simple enough, isn't it? You sayit is
little too simple to be true. just try it
and you will not need to be as skilled witt
pencil and pen as Egglesht was to be con
WINGED of the practicability of the plan
Egglesht was seen doing this very work a
