THE BARGE SYSTEM
Ex Congressman James Wilson, editor of

farmer and leader and champion of that
class in that state, says:
Nothing has occurred, in the way of legis-
lation, within the century, that is destined
to so benefit the Northwest, as the building
of the jetties at the mouth of the Missis-
sippi. The intuition of the farmer led him
to demand it, and the Forty third congress,
deeply tinged with granger leanings, con-
ceded it at a cost of ten millions of dollars
We had to wait till capital and enterprise

mental love. Western industries are using

POLICE POINTS.

The police authorities have been notified
that thieves entered the warehouse of Mr..
McCaw at Port Byron last Wednesday
night and extracted a number of hides there
in store. 1t is thought the thieves have
made for this city, and on their arrival they
win be arrested and returned to Port
Byron.
The most exciting event in police circles
yesterday was caused by attempting to i'm
pound several cattle found wandering about
the streets contrary to the ordinance on that
subject. The officers assisted the pound
keeper to drive the vagabond bovines into
the enclosure, but the animals refused to
go, and caused good deal of running. The
exercise was duly appreciated, but those
participating would prefer to take it when
the atmosphere was more conducive to out
door enjoyment.
Very few cows or animals are now found
running at large, and it is to be hoped that
owners will prevent in the future any vio-
lation of the ordinances in that respect.

the volumes of trade from Chicago to st.
Louis and New Orleans. The route is
cheaper to SO great an extent that the in
creased price to the Western farmer for his
produce will double his profits or give him
profit where he had none before. Ten cents
a bushel less by river. Whyg Many mil
lions of bushels are sold by the farmers
that do not give any profit; this ten cents
will be all profit; the route is nearer to tide
water from transportation stand point
and ence at tide water the cost is nothing
for few extra miles. Millions of tons of
coal will be saved that are now consumed
in hauling our produce over the Alleghanies
and can be turned to manufacturing The
energies of commerce have been wastefully
applied. Our heavy stuffs should go by
natures way, and the money in half the
great trunk lines East should have been
applied to building an American merchant
marine. If the South will just give assured
confidence to the North that capital and
enterprise will be protected, new era is
dawning on US.

A SHARPER.

Not long since, a man visited Quincy,
Illinois, and by means of forged checke
and letters succeeded in securing a watch
and several articles of jewelry from one of
the leading establishments of that city He
gave the name of Williams, and represent
ed himself as being engaged in the eleva
tor business at Davenport. He is described
as being fifty years old of fine personal
appearance, and a good dresser.
Williams made good his escape from
Quincy before the character of his checks
was found out, and now the jeweler who
sold him the goods is anxious to secure his
arrest.
1t was thought that Williams had been
found at Andalusia, playing the same game
as that practiced at Quincy, as party an
swering his description was seen in Anda-
lusia attempting to pass draft on Daven-
port parties.
So far the arrest has not been made, but
it is probable that he will be taken into
custody at an early day.

RAD BREAK

The water main on Second avenue near
Nineteenth street has again sprung leak,
and streets in that immediate vicinity are
again covered with water. II was in this
same locality that break occurred but a
short time ago, in consequence of which
the water was cut off from the business
portion of the city for several days The
accident was attributed to the effect of
the frost upon the pipes, and it is barely
possible that the same cause may have pro-
duced the leak this morning. 1t is to be
hoped that energetic efforts will be made
to repair the damage at as early moment
as possible. for in the present condition a
portion of the city is shut off from water
connections. In case of a fire the results
would be very damaging.

MINsTRELS.

An exchange in noting the success of
Barlow, Wilson, Primrose s. West party
who appear in this city next Monday night
has the following:
THE MINsTRELs.-The Grand Opera
House is generally good enough to hold
everything that comes along; but it failed
miserably last evening. Every seat was
filled at eight o'clock. The aisles were
filled with chairs, and the chairs were flied
with people. A hundred or two people
could not get seats, and stood Throughout
the performance, Many more hundreds of
people were turned away from
the door 1t was the largest house the
Grand ever saw, and quite as large as it ev-
er viii see, for not another person could,
by any possibility, have been squeezed in.
The show was simply immense. 1t was
clean, artistic performance, full of fun and
replete with fresh witticisms, first class
specialties, and everything which goes to
constitute an A 1 minstrel performance.

THE WRITER.

1t is now quite generally believed that
the author has been found of the letter
asking that an investigation be made OF
the remains of the late Miss Jessie Shaw
with view of ascertaining whether she
had been buried alive. 1t will be remem-
bered that the name of Carter Harrison
was signed, and to this fact is attributed
the publicity of the affair.
A letter was written youngman in Chicago
asking for reply, as it was intended to
compare the handwriting, and thus settle
the question. This has been done, and the
handwriting of both letters is said to be
very similar, if not identical.
This solves the mystery which was at
tached to the affair, as the excitement was
all raised by the first epistle. For obvious
reasons the names are withheld.
