WOOL AND ELECTRICITY.
Highly Charged Balls are Difcult to
Handle.


Handle.
An important fact is discussed by
writer in the Manufacturers Review.
viz, that wool, after it is shorn and
cleansed preparatory to the carding
and spinning processes, is capable of
being highly charged with electricity,
and that though the phenomena re-
sulting from this characteristic are IA
miliar to all carders, the influence Of
this agent is oftentimes so active as to
interfere materially with the working
of the wool; the fact, however. that
wool when thoroughly wet, or we'll
fabricated. either artificially or with its
own natural grease. shows no effects
from the presence of electricity. may be
considered as establishing the fact that
in all grades of wool the susceptibility
to the influence of electricity increases
in the ratio of dryness or absence of
lubricating material in the fibre, or, in
other words, to its freedom from the
moistening effects of oil or water. while
sufficient moisture properly applied will
not only prevent all the evil effects of
electricity in wool. but will destroy
every evidence of it's existence in both
the picker and card rooms. The writer
adds that by making the feed light in
bulk. speeding the feed roll and doffers
faster for quick speed and quick de-
livery. and reducing the speed of the
main cylinders tumblers. fancies. and
the vibrating motions of the condenser.
the effects in question are done away
with.

A sad Feature.

A pathetic feature of the recurring
meetings Of the G. A. r. and the Wom-
ans Relief Corps is the showing made
of the annually increasing disburse-
ments of the relief fund. 1t proves not
that there is growing tendency on the
part of old soldiers to ask for aid, but
that they are becoming disabled by age
and infirmities, and more and more of
them need assistance each year II is a
forcible reminder that the pension ques-
ton should be settled at once. by grant
ing every soldier with an honorable dis
charge a pension of not less than $I2 per

THE M. E. CONFERENCE.

Resolution as to the Return of the Pre-
siding Elder, Etc.
In the NJ. +. conference at Peoria
yesterday the following resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, That when a presid-
ing elder shall have served full
term of six consecutive years. we
respectfully request the bishop pre-
siding to return him TO the pastor
ate. whether his term of service
shall have been spent in one district
or divided among several districts,

letter Of the rule adopted by our
general superintendents OF .contiuu-
ing preacher in the presiding
eldership for only one term of six
years, unless in cases of great neces-
sitv.'"
Peculisrtties nj the Church.
Bishop Goodsell in his annual ad-
dress. said the NJ. f. church was a
peculiar. organization. He then
traced its origin from the church of
England and compared the rituals.
The Methodist Episcopalians had
today 100000 members. One in
every II was a mem Der of the NJ. Z.
church and one in every five was Il
Methodist. He wished the brethren
present would always use the words
Methodist Episcopal. for it was dis
tinctive church. Bishop Goodsell
spoke of the distinctive form of bap-
tism. The whole essential idea of
baptism was the application of the
water. The quantity and the posi-
ton of the body had nothing to do
with it. He said: I'VE stand for
the spiritual type of salvation in
contrast TO the mechanical idea
He spoke OF the latter way. such as
believed today by some of the
churches. He did not believe the
wine and bread were turned to the
real body and blood OF Christ. and
this is what he termed ..mechanical.n
Every man. he said, was priest be-
fore God. There was no more power
in his fingers to convey the holy
ghost to the congregation than there
was in the table. The church. he
said, believed in the doctrine of re.
generation. You must be born
again. The NJ. f. church stood for
the salvation of all children. They
were members Of Gods kingdom and
OF His invisible church in spite of
the belief of the parents. Bishop
Goodsell then spoke of the broad
doctrines of the NJ. T.. church. No

ROCK RIVER TOLLS.
Moline and Its Issue With the Govern
ment-Au Item of Costs.

Moline and Its Issue With the Govern
ment-An Item of Costs.
Last June the city Of Moline filed
its answer to the demand Of the
government to put in draw in the
bridge over Rock river. and thus far
no reply has been received to it. 1t
is absolutely necessary to either
raise the bridge IS feet higher or
have the draw span put in, on ac-
count of the canal; and many are of
the opinion that in the course of,
time the government will put in the
draw. The original notice required
the city to begin putting in the new
bridge inside of six months. But
repairs have been made on the
bridge this summer and others have
been authorized. which will be made
soon, thus putting the bridge in
good condition for the winter.
The Toll Question.
Speaking on this subject the Re-
publican-Journal says:
1T will be remem bered that few
years ago the question was much
agitated of making this bridge free,
and was submitted TO vote Of the
people, who endorsed the PROPOSE
ton to free the bridge by a good ma
jority. Mayor Vessel. however.
claimed that the proposition was not
properly stated on the ballots, aud
SO the election came to naught.
Whether or not it would be expedi-
emf to make the bridge free at this
time we will not venture to say. But
in the light of present circumstances
it is quite evident that reduction of
the toll would be matter of policy
for the city, and it would he well for
our merchants to take the matter
under consideration and urge the
council TO act. Toll ut the Moline
bridge is one-half higher than at the
toll bridge ut Milan, owned by Rock
Island city, the rate down there hav-
ing been reduced several years ago.
Where Rock Island charges 10 cents
Moline charges 10, and as farmers
are people who take care of their
nickcls this makes quite an induce
ment for them to do their trading in
Rock Island. 1t may seem small
matter to some. but the men on the
other side of the river say: What's
the use of crossing bridge charging
Is cents when You can cross for l0?'
And there is a splendid and much
travelled road leading right down the
river to Milan from the Moline
bridge. The charging of 50 per cent
more toll at our bridge than is
charged by Rock Island is 4 discrim-
ination against our merchants and an
injury to Moline, and the Republican
journal hopes to see it rectitied. In
taking this stand, we believe that the
city's revenue from the bridge would
not be materially decreased. In fact
the reduction of the toll at Milan is
said to have had the opposite effect. -
AS far as the Rock Island toll
bridge is concerned The ARGUS has
maintained that the tariff should be
abolished for years, The toll bridge
is relic of by-gonc days, and a
barrier to the commercial prosperity
of the city. Remove the tolls alto
