A SUCCESS.

The w. w. Kimball Branch store is a
great success. In the two years it has
been running here it has sold over 1925,
600 worth of instruments, all owing to the
fine articles they sell and the easy
time payment upon which they can be
purchased, and the untiring efforts of the
manager and assistants to please and sat
isfy all patrons in every particular. They
now have houses at Burlington and Fort
Madison, and intend starting houses at
Iowa City and Des Moincs very soon, all
of which are controlled by the Rock Island

PRESSES.

The old Guernsey press which has done
faithful service for the ARGUS since the
winter of 1856 has been taken down, and
from this issue the paper will be printed
by an improved double cylinder Cottrell
press. The new press is termed the double
revolution and its great advantages are it's
speed and facility with which it can be
handled. The cylinder revolves twice,
once in raised position to clear the form
constituting the newspaper pages, and the
second Time in contact with the form while
giving the impression. Ii can print at q
speed ranging from 1000 to 2400 per hour,
fhis speed being limited by the capacity of
the feeder. Among other prominent inn
provements Incorporated in the new
machine are the air spring and the COVER
nor, which enable the press to run faster
thau other machines without entailing any
damages to the composing parts. While
running at a rate of 1900 per hour, with
the weight of Il full newspaper form, about
4O pounds pressure is required at each
end of The press to arrest the momentum
and reverse the bed The governor attach
ncnt completely the air spring, increasing
the pressure exactly with the increase of
speed momentum and decreasing as the
press comes 10 stop. On stopping the
press the spring is thrown off automatica.
~. Tue momentum of the cylinder is so
constructed, tibet perfect register is in
sureti Ill ihe highest rate of speed.
With the new press the ARGUS COM
mences its issue as a morning paper.
THE OLD GUERNSEY,
whose place bias been supplied with the
new machine was purchased in the winter
1888. 1t was first erected in the Bailey &
Boyle block, now known as the postoffice
block. 1t was put up by the inventor and
manufacturer. Mr.. Guernsey, and was the
wonder of the town and locality. In the
winter of 957 the Islander and -4fgus con-
solidated, and the press was removed to
The Bufor'l block. The press originally

BALL.

On Friday evening the members of the
St Joseph branch of the Western Catho-
lie Union gave dancing party at Armory
Hall which proved a decided success in
every particular.
The attendance was quite large, the
music as furnished by Prof. Blenr's or
chestra was all that could be desired and
the supper supplied by John Aster, was
fully appreciated and enjoyed by those in
attendance.
The society has but recently been organ
lied in Rock Island, but the membership
has been increasing rapidly that it now
bids fair TO become one of the most popu-
lar benevolent organizations in the west.
1t includes among its members some of the
NEST energetic workers, and to their efforts
is due the success of the first annual ball
which occurred at .Armory Hall last Friday
evening.
