Rock Island Arsanal

Yesterdays dispatches announced that
six companies of the 9th Infantry had left
Omaha for Rock Island Arsenal This was
true, but about 3 o'clock this morning Col.
Flagler, commandment at the Arsenal, re
ceived orders from Gen. Sherman to send
the troops directly to Chicago as further
trouble was anticipated there.
About o'clock this morning the troops,
to the number of about 700, arrived in this
city on special train. The order was
transmitted to the commanding officer
and they left Immediately for Chicago.
At present, only about As private
soldiers are stationed at Rock Island
Arsenal, and if any serious difficulty should
occur, the force would hardly seem ade-
quate to the emergency.
In order to prevent any surprise, how
ever, Col Flager has stationed at night, q
strong guard at the old Arsenal building,
at the foot of the Island, where most Of
the arms and ammunition are stored, and
after sunset no person is allowed to drive
or walk on the road leading past this build.
ing--but are compelled to pass on the road
west of the rail emoankmeut, between the
Sylvan Water and Rock Island bridges.
This action will prevent any surprise up
on the guards, if any attempt is made IL
capture the Island.
People holding passes to the Island are
allowed to come on the Island between
sunrise and sunset.

The Lower Rapids,

The Keokuk Gate City of Tuesday
brings intelligence Of the partial compile
ton of the improvements in the Mississip-
pi river above Keokuk. Says that paper:
From the authorities in charge of the
rapids improvement we learn that the ca
nal will be so far completed as to admit Of
the passage of boats 10 about two weeks
The government. steamer Montana will be
brought down here from Rock Island and
will be the first boat through the canal.
The engineer corps will probably have
some sort of a demonstration in connection
Herewith. 1t seems to US that it would
be eminently proper for our citizens to
unite with them in celebrating the event,
in fact, it would show a deplorable lack OF
interest on their part to neglect to do So
The work has been going on now about
nine years, and the eyes Of the people of
the entire Mississippi valley have been
turned upon it, Millions of dollars have
spent upon it, and when completed it will
be the most important improvement of the
kind in the United States. The canal is
located at Keokuk. the money has been
spent here, and it occurs to us that our
citizens should unite with the engineer
corps in celebrating so important an event
as its completion. The time is short, and
whatever is done in the matter must be
done at once. We suggest, therefore,
that our citizens get together and arrange
for u suitable demonstration on the occa.
sion of the passage Of the first boat.

A new stone pier will be put in, in place
of the abutment washed out, and this
work will be let by contract, Bids should

PARKER'S STORE,


Mr.. d. A. Inman has moved to
Alabama, where he will superintend
Mr.. Wiley Wilkerson's farm this
year. Mr.. Inman was one of our
best neighbors and warmest friends,
and we will sadly miss him and his
family. We wish them a pleasant
and profitable sojourn in Alabama,
and congratulate the community
whittier they have gone upon this
addition to its society.
The Rev. w. Weakly has been
making pastoral visits in this vi
cinity of late. His social disposi-
ton renders him an agreeable COM
panion wherever he goes, and of
course his visits are highly appre-
ciatcd. Mr.. j. w. Vaughn, Jr., had
the misfortune to get his leg badly
cut few days ago, but we are glad
to announce him conyalescent.
Christmas came and went in q
mantle of snow. The children hung
up their stockings and Santa Claus
came with presents rare and be-
slowed upon each an ample share.
The Christmas holidays began with
a very nice dinner at Mr.. Vaughn's
on Monday, which was attended by
a few who did honor to the occa
sion, among whom we may mention
Messrs. n. S. Phelps, j. ID. Hamlet,
G. r Hayes and j. NJ. Harwell.
The Misses Alice Hamlet and Ge-
noah Camern were present with
their wit and grace, and lent a
charm to the occasion. Mr.. John
Yancey gave a social party to his
friends at Mr.. j. NJ. Parker's on
Monday night. There were great
many in attendance, and all seemed
to enjoy themselves finely, but the
most enjoyable feature in the case
was the cakes, wine and apples.
Mr.. Joe Hamlet gave a dinner on
Wednesday, and a ball at night,
both rejecting credit upon the par
ties concerned. Your correspon
dent did not arrive in time for din
ner, but fair hands had saved him
out an ample supply. Among the
ladies that graced the occasion were
Misses Sarah Vaughn, Lou Ke.lum
and Alice Smithson. Miss hamlet
entertained her guests with becom
ing formality.
Mr.. John Hayes jumped from the
train the other day before it stopped,
fell, and keeping up the motion
given him by the sfall, he skated on
his ear about ten steps on the plat
form, but received no serious in
juries. KrHkx.
