WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.
(Geneseo News.)

A1NANGNO %NChE
An awful calamity happened on
South State street one day a week or
so ago. 30 awful that strong men were
seen TO turn their heads away-and
laugh. A lady of naughty mien, of
proud, disdainful air, all fused up
like a real fashion plate picture, pow
dered and primped and pompous,
strutted adown the street. Her clothes
were Of the latest style. with big pict.
ure hat to match. and her parasol
was a dream. Men rubbered, of
course, as men-some men-will at
times, but In this case there was some
thing special to attract their atten-
ton. for enclrcling the lady's foot was
q mysterious something that looked
altogether out Of place. 1t wasn't a
jewel-bedecked circlet such as the
members OF New iYork's famed 400
are said TO wear. but Just an ordinary
strip OF rag. Where 1t came from
goodness only knows! We don't know
and wouldn't tell II we did know
And, anyhow. we amt supposed tc
know. Nor are we supposed to know
what It was, although we have oul
suspicious. 1t was tied with a knot
and formed a clrclet about 30 bis
around, or perhaps a little bigger. II
might have been used for a dog collar
for all We know. but IL that be the
case, how would il get on the lady'i
foot? Well, anyhow and howsomever
{: was there, and every time she tool
a step II went flippety-fop. and every
time IL went fiippety-Aop 1t attracted
the attention Of some new rubberneck
We heard one rude man Say It was &
but no matter what the rude mar
caid.

Gated and elevated for the Burlington

The lake above the dam on which

after they discovered an engineer cap
able of constructing it. The work is
looked upon by the people OF that sec
ton as peculiarly their own, although
they own none of the capital stock
which was subscribed in New England,
Canada, England, Belgium, France and
Germany.
Deep water navigation is made pos
sible for sixty-five miles up the Mis-
sissippi, including a stretch of river
hitherto impossible except through q
government canal with three locks
which cost $4,000 TO operate and is
rendered unnecessary by the lock and
the lake above the dam. The United
States gets many millions of usufruct
as the price for allowing the river TO
be damned at the foot of the old rap
ids which are now the bottom of the
lake.
OVER 100000 HORSE POWER
The dam is three times as large as
the next largest single installation Of
water wheels in the world. 1t COM
prises 80 turbines and electric gener-
ators which produce a total of over
100000 horsepower on the shaft con-
Meeting them. Besides the dam there
is power house, a lock, a dry dock, a
sea wall and an dee fender, all of
large cross section and with a total
length of ten feet less than two miles
and half of massive concrete.
The dam stretches nine-tenths of a
mile across the Mississippi from the
Illinoios bluff into which it is tied to
its junction with the power house on
the Iowa side of the river. 1t is fifty.
three feet high, forty-two feet wide
on the bottom and twenty-nine feet
wide on top and consists of 119 arched
spans each thirty feet between six.
foot piers. In each span is a spillway
thirty-two feet high topped by a steel
gate eleven feet high. BY opening and
closing a variable number of these
gates, the water above the dam is
kept at certain height and sufficient
water for navigation below is always
passed through the dam

flow through the thirty turbines into a
tail race along the opposite side which
limestone bottom Of the river into
which all the works are keyed. Each
water wheel is several times as large
in dimensions as the largest ever built
before, and it had to be brought to
Keokuk on a specially built steel car
and routed to avoid bridges-and
even then the railroads had to remove
the water tank spouts to allow each
turbine to pass. Half the power house
is now completed, and the other half
is under way, economy being con-
served by starting operation of half
OF it as soon as possible.
MANY CITIES TO BENEFIT.
The total quantity of power produc-
ed on the turbine shafts on the entire
power house Is more than is used for
manufacturing in Missouri, and one
| fourth the quantity used in manufac-
turing in Illinois, including Chicago
| and its environs. This water power
converted into electricity is intended
to be used in manufacturing in the
new power zone along the Mississippi
extending from Burlington, Iowa, to
ST. Louis, which latter city takes 60
900 horse power Of current over a
transmission line carrying it at ITO, 900
volts. Fort Madison, Iowa, Quincy
and Alton, Ill, and Hannibal, Mo-, are
other cities in the power zone. It is
not the intention to build any more
| transmission lines than those north
and south from Keokuk which are now
in operation. Keokuk and Hamilton
at opposite ends Of the great dam
get their current without stepping II
up to the High voltage Of the St Louis
transmission line.
