Westward Travel.


The travel westward still continues IN
abated, and crowded passenger trains are
the rule now on the c., r. |. & P. On
Tuesday there was not room enough in the
cars to seat more than half of the passen-
gers, and in Davenport three extra coaches
had to be added to the train. Last night
the rush was even greater than on the
preceding evening, sixty-ive trunks, all
for Kansas we're handled for the west
bound train, besides large number with
ut-heavy baggage bound on prospecting
tour. If the tide of emigration to Kansas
continues in the same ratio as now, it will
not be many years before that state will
claim position as the fourth state in the
union. The fertility of the soil, excellent
climate, and the low price of land, has in
duced thousands to seek new homes in
that state, many of whom have been
driven to look for new locations because of
the terrible depression in the overcrowded
cities and towns. The west holds out a
tempting invitation to mechanics and
farmers, and indeed to all who have the
pluck and energy. to work for success.

A New Way to Copy Letters.


Something new in the letter copy book
line was shown US this morning, which is
sure to set into general use. No brush or
water is required, neither is press npcee-
sary. You have only to place the letter in
one of the sheets in the book, run an ordi-
nary blotting pad over it, and you have o
perfect impression. 1t leaves no blur, the
writing is clear and distinct, and the orig
inal letter shows no mark OF being copied
as is the case with the brush and water
process. The convenience of the process
and its tIme-saving properties are bound
to commend it to business men, and even
tually supersede the old cumbersome way
of press, brush and water. The proprIe-
tors, the La Belle Manufacturing Co, 90
Clark street, Chicago, have determined to
introduce this book through agents, for
the present at least, 10 order that its mer-
its may become more generally known.
Mr.. Roberts is at present in the city solic-
ting for the company and will be pleased
to receive your orders. It is about as
neat continuance for doing good work 10
short space of time as we have seen
lately. +ca

Of which be went to jail for nine days.
He used profane language and encouraged

for Fred, so he had him hauled in. 4 So

On Wednesday night James MuIqueen,
who was sent down in default of $500
for the larceny of ring from Geo. sHakes,
was released last evening, his brother,
John Mulqueen, becoming surety. The
ring has been returned, which looks as II
the case had been compromised. Justice
Chopper will send the papers to the coun.
ty court, however; any other action on hil
part under the law would be simply com

The Arsenal Water Power.

There has Of late been several rumors
set afoat to the effect that the Moline
Water Power Company would soon move
to have the government abandon the water
power and give it back TO them, Should
this thing be done it will end all future APP
preparations for the arsenal, from the fact
that the water power was, 10 the start, the
great leverage by which the arsenal was
established and the various appropriations
obtained. The government has already
expended over 100000 in this work, and
to abandon it now would seem to be an ac-
acknowledgement that the whole thing has
been stupendous job of robbery for the
benefit Of the Moline Water Power. On
this account we do not believe the rumors,
especially as until Tuesday, the 10th, no
official test Of this power has ever been
made. This test will possibly preclude
the possibility of the success of any at
tempt to have the government abandon the
power, even if such be the intentions of the
Moline Water Power Company. as is ru-
mored. This test, as made under the d.
rection of Col. Flagler, showed that the
machinery for the transmission of the
power from the dams to the arsenal shop,
distance of half mile. worked smoothly
and satisfactorily. and without hitch, Civ
ing promise of realizing the best expecta
tons Of the engineers who projected anG
directed the construction of the system
But two wheels were started. This water
power was begun in 1867 by Gen. Rodman
the government purchasing the right of thu
Moline Water Power Company. Worl
was carried on energetieally from that date
In the excavation Jf the canal some 1,50(
Workmen were employed, and 10,341, 00C
cubic feet Of rock removed. The canal i
1000 feet long, 200 feet wide at the tor
and IT'S at the bottom. There are tw,
dams, the upper being 1890 feet long aAt
containing 4lS $50 cubic feet of masonry
and the lower dam 720 feet long, with d
gates for wheels, and containing 168,00
cubic feet of masonry. The pool which i
to supply the draught of water is 500
feet in length, 500 in breadth with meal
depth of ten feet. The supply of water
expected to be 20,000,OOO feet of water a
hour. This immense power is transmitte
to the shops by means of two main shafts
each shaft driven by 20 water wheels, an
each $50 feet long. The full capacity {
the water power will be 1000 horse power
and the total cost Of the system will be Q
least 81 100000. The machinery is nea!
ly all in and ready for use, aud by tn
time the arsenal shops are put into full OF
Grafton the motive will be 10 shape to SUI
