We would suggest to the enterpris-
ing gentlemen who form the Monroe
Wharf boat Company the propriety of
building an open cotton shed in con-
nection with the warehouse. This
could be done at comparatively small
expense, would be great convenience
to the Company as we'll as to those who
may consign their cotton to the Com
pany for re-shipmcnt, and besides could
be used for the storage of various arti-
cles too bulky to he stored in the ware
house. However, we shall await the
arrival of the new wharf boat, and will
welcome its presence with sincere
pleasure.

were all youths whose ages range from Il
to Is years, and are six of the ten persons
residing at Rapids City, for whom war

place. Four of them were brought sdown
last night and lodged In jail. The two
others were brought down this morning
Warrants we're issued for Lewis Schester,
A. Lloyd, ,Jr, Joe Garland, and Joe

Mr.. Meese, of the firm of

and did not reaIizs the full extent of what
they were doing. The justice fined them

Ben Babcock.

Benjamin Babcock. who was injured by
the explosion of the boilers in the Kicka.
poo distllery, Peoria. and who died from
the effects of the injuries sustained, was
at one time a resident of Rock Island, and
was we'll liked By all. he was q whole
souIed, generous fellow, every ready to
help friend aud had bsen fortunate and
unfortunate In business. At the time Of
his death be was one of the proprietors OF
the distillery where the accident occurred
The Peoria Democrat, speaking of BIZ
death, says:
Benjamin Babcock, of the frm of Bah
cock 4 Barton, proprietors of the stone
distilIery, died yesterday morning at ten
O'Clock OF injuries received by hin in the
explosion. His suff3rings were not acute
for the last few hours, because during
that time he was kept under the influence
| of morphine.
Nc. Benjamin Bsbcock was an old resi-.
dent of this city. Previous to his coming
here he operated a disti!ery in St l,ouis
| After coming TO this city he was engaged
as chemist in two of the distileries. He
went from this city to Rock Island in 1862
or 1864 ana bought out g distillery, and
operated it for some years very success
fully. He also owned one in Nebraska,
which caught fire aud was completely
dem olished. After selling out in Rock
| Island he returned to this city, and was
engaged in the distillery with his brother.
He then went to Chicago and opened q
large Wholesale liquor establishment. but
in this he was not so successful as he had
been. and after q time he again returned
to Peoria and started in the broker and
exchange business. Finally he threw this
up and got situation as Government
gauger. which position he held until he
bought and fitted up the Kickapoo distil-
lery which was the most profitable invest
nent With which MIR. Babcock has been
connected for years. He will be remem-
bered by those who knew him as jovial,
good fellow, generous and wholesouled. !"
He was a plucky man, and on more than
one occasion showed his bravery in the
face of danger, He was very cool headed.
too, and as instancing this. the following
incident just after the explosion, when he
lay almost crushed, is related in the Demo-
Gratis account of the affair:
''Mr. Babcock and Engineer Burns were
blown Ethrough the wreck under stone
wall. MIR. Babcock, the 6rst to be taken
out. was almost buried under a pile of
stones, some of them weighing less than
three hundred pounds, His arm was
broken, and blood was gushing from his
nose, ears and mouth; but as soon as he
was extricated. he said to the boys;
Something has gone wrong here. guess
What in thunder is it?' His wife came
oyer from their house, which is just across
the way, and he took her arm, and walked
home without other assistance.
Mr.. Babcock was formerly of the firm
of Babcock Il Mcguire, distillers of this
city, the latter being brother of Barney
Mcguire, now of Colorado.
Poor Babcock, he was noble good fell

hearts in Peoria over bis untimely death.
