NOTES.

1t Is the unanimous opinion of all
who have observed the work OF Lieu.
tenant Governor Martin F. Allen that
he makes model presiding officer.
II he does not look out he will find
himself In the field for governor in
two years.
The old gentleman from Weathers-
field was invited to appear before the
committee of the whole in the Senate
yesterday and to explain bis bill for
two road commissioners for that town.
Two Of the brightest lawyers In the
senate, who tried to have a little fun
with him, got laughed at. Judge
Stanton was asked to interrogate him
but said no. The bill will pass.
There is serious danger that q bill
In the interest of wheelmen may be-
come law this session, strange as it
may seem. But then it costs the state
nothing.
The entire absence of any interest in
lobbying around the state house is a
noticeable feature OF this session.

operation, however, railroads were
built, which so far did the work
planned for it and removed the neces-
sity for it, that the project was
abandoned. 1t Law dormant until the
general government took up the plan
for a systematic improvement of in
land water communication. 1t then
came to the front. In 1875, So years
after the original survey by Illinois,
a new survey was made by the ma

years had passed by. About 1890.
however, congress made liberal ap-

Since then the work has progressed

Route of Waterway.
The survey and location for the
eastern section was made in 1898. 1t
leaves the Illinois river about two
miles east of Bureau. and parallels
the Rock Island railroad, passing half
a mile north of Tiskilwa. and follow
ing Bureau creek till it passes VIVA
net. Here it leaves the railroad and
cuts across the country, passing two
and one-half miles north of Sheffield.
Three miles west of Sheffield the feed
er comes in as described above. The
main line runs on west, passes north
of Mineral, Annawan and Atkinson,
approaching the Rock Island road
again at Geneseo. Thence it follows
nearly parallel to the roadbed until it
intersects the Rock river, which is to
be made navigable so as to form a
part of the canal to near Milan. There
it follows an independent canal to the
Mississippi river.
The earth work is generally let by
miles to the lowest responsible bid
der, who usually sublets portion
of his contract to minor contractors
according to their facilities for doing
the work. The EN- bankments are then
located and their boundaries are defined
by stakes.
The embankmeuts are 1S3 feet
wide at the top water line, and in
crease in width 81 feet every addi-
,ional foot in depth, making very
wide base.
Any possibility of break in the
EN- bankment is prevented unless an
opening should be made by some per-
son or some animal. They are practi-
cally solid.

Pawnee BIIl's Wild west.

Speaking of Pawnee Bills Wild
West show, to be seen in Rock Island
next Saturday, the Boston Globe says:
'Pawnee Bills Wild West show
opened its second week at the Char les
River park yesterday, with the usual
afternoon and evening Performance es,
and with an increased attendan ce.
The afternoon program was carried
out in full and the show was greatly
appreciated by the audiences. In
the reproduction of wild life on the
frontier the spectators witness a gen
uine Mexican hippodrome and Indian
village and Indian museum with
quaint relics, and the congress of
rough riders of the world, spectacle
of rarity and deep interest. Not the
least of the strong attractions are the
sharpshooting contests, In which May
Lille, the champion woman shot,
figures prominently. During the
performances the spectators will see
the strange accoutrements worn and
carried by Kit Carson in '49. The
show itself has so many good features
that it is hard to particularize them.
There is so much that is instructive
and novel in the entertainment and
so attractive that an afternoon or
evening passed in the company of
Pawnee Bill and his asso ciates should
prove alike agreeable to young and
old.
Mai. Gordon W. Lille is better
known the world over now as Paw
nee Bill This sobriquet he earned
by serving the government among
the Pswnees and by having been
