Burlington Gazette: A double-cyli1-
der power generator, invented by the
Rev Mr. Stanton of Mt. Pleasant. is
going through its initial demonstration
at the water works in this city. This
machine, Mr.. Staunton says, will revo-
lutionize the water power business
and enable promoters, such as the
builders of the Keokuk dam, to pro-
duce unlimited power
Mr.. Staunton has been working on
this invention for twelve years and
he thinks lie has it about perfected.
His first machine was single-cylin-
der affair and it realized his idea, he
says. but there are SO much greater
possibilities In the double cylinder that

built
The idea of the machine is to run a
stream of water through the machine,
thus producing power. A slight fall is
all that Is necessary. For demonstra.
ton purposes q small stream of water
from the reservoir of the water com
pany was run through the double cylin

in Burlington for some time, having
given up the ministry in order to per

G. WALTER BARR
IN BURLINGTON
keokuk's Literary Man Talks o
Mark Twain's Early Life in
This City.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: DR.. G. Wal
ter Barr, of Keokuk, the newspaper
writer and literary expert, was
visitor in Burlington for short time
Sunday afternoon. He was accom-
panied by his brother-in-law, Mr.. Ap-
plegate. They had come up on the
Black Hawk for the sake of the cool
river trip on bhstering day.
OF Keokuk the doctor had a good
word. Things are moving along there
briskly The recent death OF Mark
Twain has again brought that city in
to the limelight as one of the early
places of residence of the famous hui
morist. AS a result of certain develop
ments recently made known concern
ing the early life of Mark Twain in
Keokuk, the humorist's official BIZ
ographer Albert Bigelow Payne, will
spend some time in that city, gather
ing material to add to his collection
of data concerning Mr.. Clemens.
While in Keokuk Mr.. Payne will be
the guest of DIR. Barr.
Among other interesting state
ments made is that the first articles
Mark Twain ever wrote for publlca
ton in any newspaper or magazine
were printed in the old Keokuk Post
published by the Reese brothers
They consisted of two letters writ
ten on contract for the Post by
Twain, while in his tramping tour OF
the east. Twain was a printer in the
office of the Keokuk Post, and took q
notion to go east. The proprietors
made a contract with him to pay hin
SIS a letter for communications con
corning his trip.
The first letter concerned the
journey to Cincinnati by way of the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers. The sec
/ ond one, which was the best, was ;
! description of a theatrical play wit
messed by Twain from the gallery
After the publication of this lette
! the publishers wrote Twain that the,
could not afford to pay him NOR
| than SIS each for future letters. Twai
| struck on the proposition and the lei
tiers ceased.
These letters are still preserved
files of the Post and will be mad
part of the important data of Mar
Twain's literary history. 1t is int
esting to note that some years ag
the Century Magazine published wit
a great flourish what it claimed wa
the first authentic writing Mar
Twain ever did for publication. TT
two Post articles antedate the &c,
fury articles by a number of years.

Interesting Card Found by o. L.

ILY TWO REMAIN

Who Were on Committee for
Dance, Only Ones Now
Living.

Every now and then an interesting
old relic, card, letter or what
noe makes its appearance when one is
delving through drawer or little
used piece of furniture. Recently
former manager of the Grand, D. L.
Hughes, happened across a card that
will be of much interest to many Of
the "old-timers" and long resident
ers" of Keokuk.
The little card which is we'll pre-
served and is printed in red, green and
blue type, is an announcement of the
eleventh annual ball of the Young
America Fire Company of Keokuk,
given on the evening of Wednesday,
January s, 1868, just forty-two years
ago the eighth day of the first month
OF this year.
The card was printed by The Gate
City Print" as labeled at the bottom
OF the little two by five inch piece of
white card board.
The reception committee the ar
rangement committee, the floor man
ayers and other data for dance such
as was given in those good old days,
is printed on the announcement. The
affair which was given in Gibbons
opera house, is an event remember
ed by Chief John Anderson of tie
Keokuk fire department and in whose
possession the card now is, having
been given him by Mr.. Hughes as &
en- Nf hu- Tho abinf
was then young lad with only aspir
ations of being head of the F. D. some
day.
The invitation reads in the follow
ing manner and will doubtless
prove of interest to some of those
who are today living and remember
the affair. The names of only two OF
the committee appear among those
who are living today and served in
some capacity at the dance and pro-
noted the pleasure of the guests at
the cotillion.
The little card reads:
