During the past week many rumor,
have been atloat concerning the Brush
Electric Light company, and it has com,
! from many sources that the company's
motive power was inadequate to prope
its dynamos and that in view of this fact
the company would be delayed still
longer in Illuminating the city as per
contract. President Hueslng, of the
Brush company. was visited by an ARGUS
reporter this morning and he gave this
explanation;
"Our motive power Is all right. ON
engine is plenty strong enough to run
both dynamos, but the trouble we have
had in the past week resulted from an
attempt to supply too many circuits and
too many lights with but one dynamo.
Wien we get all our wires strung, we
propose to divide up the circuits and give
each dynamo so many lights. Then we
think we can work them all right. If we
fnd our engine is not strong enough,
we will either move one dynamo into the
carriage works building or buy heavier
engine"
There are many of our citizens who
are displeased at the delay of the Brush
company in getting its city lighting ap.
paratus into working order. The company
is two months behind the time specified
in its contract for lighting the city now,
and there is reasonable ground for cen,
sure in the fact that the incandescent
circuits have been supplied before the
arc wires were strung for lighting the
city. Because the company has the city
bound by contract, is no reason why it
should give the city service secondary to
its own interests

ANOTHER RAPIDS REMEDY.


A steamboat Man Recommends Hes
ervoiring as n Proper Plan for I'm
proving Mississippi Navigation.
| Apropos OF the fact that there is now
considerable discussion concerning the
Improvement of the Rock Island rapids
as matter of necessity TO the commerce
and navigation of the upper Mississippi
river, a practical river man suggests a
plan that would even be better than the
proposed lateral canal. He recommends
system of reservoiring his plan as it
has been submitted to the war departs
ment being as follows;
The flow of water upon the rapids and
for fourteen miles above may be greatly
increased by the introduction from Rock
river into the Mississippi through the
Marais de Osier. The Rock river opposite
this point runs parallel with the Missis-
sippi for thirty miles. and then discharges
itself into it below the rapids. The en-
tire volume of water in Rock river, at
its lowest stage, exceeds 100000 cubic
feet per minute and this amount could
be much augmented by the construction
of n rooar,oir in addition In cover the
Marais de Osier. Three miles below this
point the Wapsi pinnocon river discharges

At the regular meeting of the mission

the Rt. Rev. r. H. Walker, Episcopal
bishop of Dakota, gave an interesting
account of missionary work in that land
Of storms and billiards. The bishop pre-
faced his remarks with some earnest
| words of appreciation for the spirit which
prompted the helping of ones neighbor.
Such societies were organized he thought
in the spirit of true christianity, and such
lives were we'll spent. He did not believe
in that sort of religion which caused peo>
pie to live only for themselves. Most of
the opportunities for missionary work in
a new country were found among people
who had fallen away from the helping
and restraining influences of home.
North Dakota, he said, had much to re-
commend it to the notice of the country.
Its position before congress attracted the
attention of the whole nation. The land
was full Of those in search of fortune and
among them he found large numbers of
bright, intelligent and well educated men
who would make their impression upon
the territory. In such a community res
ligion was apt to he neglected and for.

scarcity of missionaries and
