CONSOLIDATED CITIES.

a Case OF some similarity 70 That OF
Rock Island and MoIine---Two POST
Offices.
Notwithstanding that both Rock Island
and Moline are possessed of free delivery
service and the postofflce is of no minor
importance in view of such circum~
stances. Moline urges as an argument
against consolidation the fact that it
might be deprived OF its postoff,ce.
G. A. Rose, of the Moline Pump COM
pany, cites to the Republican the case of
the city of Kingston, N. V, as one where
two towns have been consolidated and
still retains two stofflces-Kingston
and Rondout-though the consolidation
was effected several years previous to the
time OF his leaving there in 1874
The circumstances, while not Identical,
as Moline will never be anywhere near
Rock Island IN size, are somewhat similar
to the case of Moline and Rock Island.
Kingston is one of the old towns, its his
tory dating back prior to the revolution
sry war and its inhabitants are largely
made up of the descendants of the early
Dutch settlers. some OF whom are quite
wealthy and prominent in political affairs
IN the state. After the terminus of the
Erie and Delaware canals was located at
Rondout that place began to grow. 1t
finally outstripped its rival and having
acquired over 10000 inhabitants sought
to acquire city charter. Kingston had
not the requisite number for this purpose
but some of its citizens for years sues
ceeded in checkmating the people of
Rondout in every effort they made to get
a charter from the legislature.
Finally compromise was made, by
which the citizens Of both places agreed
to unite, and secure city charter retain
ing the name of Kingston for that of the
new municipality. the Rondont portion
being divided into four. and the Kingston
portion into three wards. At the first
election each had n candidate for mayor.
The RondOnt man was elected, and NJ the
expiration of his two years term was re-
elected without opposition. Since that
time everything has passed off to the en-
tire satisfaction of all parties, new city
hall having been erected near what was
formerly the dividing line between the
two places. BY consulting the postal
guide for 1889 it is seen that the two
postofices of Kingston and Rondout are
still retained. Instances of this kind are
however, rare, and the rule with the COWS
eminent is to consolidate the offices.

The Moline .rematory Again

The Moline Dispdtch, speaking of the
objection Of Rock Island to the location
of the proposed crematory of that city so
close to Rock Island, continues:
The bearer of this protest was informed
of another change in the location, the
Water Power company having this morn
ing agreed to sell the city lot Of equal
-14Ox142-fronting on First street
and 212 feet nearer the canal. This
brings the location within thirty feet of
the canal, and into district not plated
into building lots, but reserved by the
Water Power company as a manufacture
ing district. Surveyor Paddock was down
there this forenoon surveying the lot and
the site for the burner. 1t has been de-
cided to locate the burner in the rear
(easD end of the lot, to remove it as far
as possible from First street. The man
living first south of the new location
does not think the burner will he obiec-
tionable. There is but one house in the
neighborhood across the Rock Island line
and that is occupied by "A colored man
who seems to be entering no protest.
Mayor VESSEL was asked today why
people so far away from the proposed los
cation are kicking. and he replied that it
was from a mistaken notion that the
thing was to be a nuisance. They forget
pr do not understand that the city IS to
have the privilege of rejecting it, if after
fair trial it is found to be Objectionable
in any way, and that the city does not
want TO create a nuisance.

the people generally are to have chance
to see circus that is a circus-a circus
that reaches away over and surpasses in
magnificence and variety anything that
has been contemplated hereabouts for
long time, if indeed it does not entirely
eclipse anything that has ever been seen
in these parts. This, at least, is the les
son that has been learned from New

But 1t renamed for Adam Forepaugh.

Workers what the big modern circus was
capable of. and he did it in such a way as
made their hair curl. so to speak. The
idea of giving Buffalo Bills Wild West
entertainment under roof never struck
the Gothemites, but MIR. Forepaugh
showed them that it was not only possi-
BILE, but there were opportunities and
facilities for enhancing the attractlveness
OF the entertainment. He introduced a
startling innovation in the shape of
Clusters last rally, tragic and
realistic denouement that, while striking
the most experienced by its accuracy to
the historical detail, amazed the general
populace by its graphic and dramatic
pictures of the horrors of that diabolical
massacre.
He has also spent the summer in
searching through his agents for the
greatest and most famous of srenic per-
farmers and the most expensive. How>
ever that does not stand in the way of
such Snowman as Adam Forepaugh.
Adam Jr. has not been idle either. He
has been wrestling assiduously with the
horses and elephants, and other species

wonderful results. Among them one
may be noted. He has eight elephants,
four male and four females. and the
quartette of partners 90 through the
figures of a quadrile with such accuracy
as far as time and step are concerned,
that while being laughable in great
measure the feat is also astounding. 1t
