Kewanee Independent: On Tuesday
evening next, there will be public meet
ing at Library hall, for the purpose of
talking up the waterworks question. At
that time a gentleman who has had
considerable experience in putting
in such works in other places, win be
present and furnish some figures. Some
of our interested citizens have already
visited other towns having similar sys-
TEN for water supply to that which is
proposed for Kewanee, and have secured
some interesting figures, all of which will
be given to the public at the meeting.
Let there be good attendance.
Petitions for the erection of a new
school house to cost, not exceeding

Cambridge Chronicle: The dry goods
firm of Chamberlain & Garfield, one of
the largest merchantile establishments of
Geneseo, and generally supposed TO be
one of the most prosperous, has made an
assignment of their entire stock to r. F.
Steele. Their assets are placed at about
sec, 900 and their liabilities at about $685.
000 1t is probable, however that the
later Developments will change those
figures very materially. The firm has
been running branch stores at Erie and
Sheffield, and the goods from those stores
have been carried to Geneseo. 1t is re-
ported that an effort will be made to
compromise with the creditors

Good For the Mayor.

That Mayor Mott is the friend of the
workingmhn there can be no doubt We
arrive at this conclusion from personal
observation, as action speak louder than
words. Everyone is, or should be aware
of the fact that there are many poor fam
lilies in Rock Island, who really need some
aid at the present time The men arc
anxious to work, but many can find no
employment. Mayor Mott, knowing this
to be the case, has determined on plan
to give these men some work The city's
finances are exhausted, so the mayor
made personal application yesterday at
the different banking houses for loan OF
81 900 for four months, without interest,
the amount to be shared equally by the
four institutions. We are pleased to say
that they have all complied with the
request, and the mayor will be able to
secure the money on that basis. 1t is Mr.
Motifs intention to put men to work al
the city's stone quarry, and complete the
sewer that is in course of construction or
Twenty first street. This is work thai
will have to be performed at some time
and by doing it now it will give much
needed employment to the workingmen

a proposition from the Burlington road.
T. J. Potter, general manager OF the road,
told the pool representatives that his road
was not prepared to recognize five roads
in territory where there is only one, but
were willing to pool with all legitimate
competing lines, and in the event of the
roads failing to arrive at some conclusion
as to percentage, ETC., were willing to
submit the matter to impartial arbitration.
By this the Burlington refuses to recog-
nize the existence of the Northwestern,
the Milwaukee, the Rock Island, the
Wabash, or the Missouri Pacific, west of
the Missouri river, nor the Union Pacific
east of Council Bluffs. 1t is said by those
that are posted, that the other roads will
not accept this proposition, as its accept
ance would be equivalent to declaring the
association failure.

Morgan to be called upon by Mr.. Sears. he
made an eloquent eulogy upon preparing
for the future, and giving history of his
past life, as being a man full of yigor
and of his many reyerses in life; still he
kept in mind to gain the hope that he had
laid formation for, and many charac-

wished them to do unto him The Rev.

''Of course Major Beardsley is a candi-

Yes, and think he has the inside

cerned about the matter of any. No one
can deny but that Beardsley has done a
good thing towards improving the post
office, for which he expended his own
money. The office is nicely heated. ven
tilated and lighted. 1t is open at all hours
