STRIKING SUCCESS.
The Mandatory of Messrs. Warnock & Rails
ton.

One of the successful industries of Rock
Island, that has added materially to its
growth and prosperity as manufacturing
center; is the soap factory of Warnock &
Ralston. The establishment is one of the
earliest manufactures started in this city
By uniform attention to the business de
tails and fair dealing with its patrons and
hands, the institution has grown and pros
pered until now it has become one of the
assured successes of Rock Islands manu-
factories. The factory was first inaugur-
ated in the year 1858. At that time the
firm was known as Warnock & Kelly.
This continued to be the business name
until 1865, when Mr.. Ralston secured an
interest in the concern and the name was
changed to Warnock & Ralston- In 1858
and until the year 1866 candle depart
ment was part of the factory. During the
first few years of its existence the capacity
was limited to 1000 pounds of soap
per week, but this was gradually increased
until at the end of the second year the fac
tory was enabled to turn out 5000 pounds
every seven days.
The candle business was soon discOntin-
ued, and the manufacture of lard oil substi-
uted in its place. the manufacture OF which
article has been continued to a certain eX
tent up to the present time.
So steady has been the progress and i'm
provement with various apparatus used
that at the present time that 20 tons
of soap are weekly turned out and work
is now being done to increase the capacity
to 80 tons in that period.
Twelve different brands of common soap
and eight varieties of toilet soap are man
featured at this establishment. The soap
compares favorably with
any article on the market of similar grades
and prices. 1t has secured a reputation and
SO great is the demand that the increased
facilities for its manufacture have become
an urgent necessity.
The territory chiefly supplied with arti-
cles from this factory includes Iowa, Ne
braska, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois; while
the trade in states east of the Mississippi
is growing and promises successful fu
ture An agency has been established at
Kansas City, which is the depot from which
the western states and territories are sup
piled.
The local trade is also very large as the
Warnock 81 Ralston soaps have become
standard, and are handled by all jobbers
and merchants in this part of the state
The firm employs twelve hands, and is
ever ready and willing to secure all the la
test improvements that are made in ma
chinery appropriate to the business.
The sales thus far the present year indi-
cate that the years business viii double
that transacted during 1880.
The two members of the firm, Mr.. Fl.
Warnock and Robert Ralston, are well and
favorably known in this city and their com
mercial standing, as well as their individu-
al reputation, is above reproach.
Mr.. Warnock has been engaged in the
soap business for the past forty years, and
was preceded by his father, who followed
that line of trade before him. Mr.. War
mock has therefore a varied experience,
which accounts for the marked success of
he factory which bears his name.

WANDERING BANQUET.

The place for holding the banquet has a
last been settled, or at least its location
will remain as stated below until the next
meeting of the Banquet committee. The
present site for such feast is Arsenal Shop
B, on the Island. The time, until further
notice is o'clock in the afternoon OF
Thursday, May 26.
This matter of deciding on the banquet
has given the massive brains of the Dav
export members of that committee much
trouble and vexation. At first they at
tempted to force Mr.. Burtis, of the Kim
ball house, to take it, and failing in that
they sought to secure its location at the
Harper house. This also miscarried, and
as last resort the proprietor of the New
comb house was obliged to relieve them,
and agree to supervise its preparation.
His house not being adapted for such
festivities, the committee was obliged to
secure suitable hall, and they secured
this by Colonel Flagler permitting them to
use one of the government buildings for
that purpose.
The members of the committees from
Davenport have perhaps learned that lit
tie courtesy and justice at the beginning
would have saved them great trouble and
annoyance.

Mclean county Pennsylvania arrived with
a requisition for the removal of j. j. Stain
brook to Duke Center of that state. MIR. j.
Arters was accompanied of l. w. Humphrey

Stainbrook obtained about $3.50 worth OF
cables used in drilling mines on represen
tation that he (Stainbrook) was the owner
of the drilling machinery for which the
cables were used. Stainbrook gave his
note for the amount part of which came
due on the 10th. After secureing these
cables he resold them to other parties, re-
presenting himself at agent for Humphrey.
At the time his note was wanted Stalnbrook

NIGHT SERVICE.
Capt. Boyton desires to inform the
steamboatmen what his night signals will
be on his trip from Minnesota to Cairo
He says that ordinarily when pilot sees
a light he steers clear of it, taking it for a
raft or small craft. He says that in the
lonely hours of the night, when floating
along between great stretch of wild wooded
Shores the sights of steamers light is a
most welcome one, and it is a God-send to
even hear the words goodnight from a
vessels deck. Hence he always likes to
have steamers pass close to him when the
depth of the water renders it practicable
His little boat Baby" which always
accompanies him, carries headlight at
night, but that is rather dim. Whenever
he sees boat approaching he will light
large torch. and a rocket sent up by him
will mean, IAN right. good night" A
rocket, followed by redfire, will be signal
Indicating distress. and that he wants to be
picked up.
CHEAP RATES.
The question of freight and its concomi-
tant benefit to the farmer is thus touched
upon by the Journal Of agriculture:
Freight on wheat from ST Louis to New
Orleans for same time has been 73c per
bushel. Freight from Chicago to New
York, during the same time, has been lac
per bushel, and thence to Europe &c less
than from New Orleans. At these figures,
other things being equal, wheat ought to
sell sc bushel higher at St. Louis than at
Chicago, that being the difference in
favor of St. Louis. If these &c per cent
were guaranteed to the wheat-growers of
the Mississippi Valley and the West, there
would at once be magnificent boom in
the wheat trade of st. Louis. But it is not
so assured
VIII this value of ST. Louis secure cor
responding increase in price at the farms
of the producers? This is an important
question for the farmers to consider. 1t is
not matter of moment to them. from a
pecuniary standpoint, how high the price
of wheat, or of any farm product, may be
in foreign market, if the price is not
thereby enhanced at their farms. Wheat
may be abundant in the farmers granaries,
freights may be cheap from St. Louis and
New Orleans to Europe, but between the
producers and the consumers there stand
the wheat dealers at these cities. If these
middlemen are to pocket all the advan-
tages of cheap freights and direct trade, or
even the major part of them, the farmers
can have but little interest in the matter
