Notwith standing the high wind prevailing at the time, the main part of the building was saved through the exertions of the Hose hose being attached to a hydrant for service, and the water was turned upon the fire In torrents.

It is as near perfect as such a vehicle can be made, and a beauty in every respect. The finish and admirable painting reflects great credit upon the artists engaged thereon. We feel confident the wagon will make renown for the company, when it reaches its destination. The company are continually intro ducing new improvements into their shops, and have lately built a new building wherein to tire their wheels, which obviates all danger from fire. The tires are heated in a large double blast furnace, saving hands and hard labor, and gaining at least two hours time in getting out each lot of eigh teen sets of wheels.

The wheel, lying upon its circular stone table, is en circled by the tire, and then by lever and screw the stone, wheel and all is instantly immersed in the water, and a weight attached to the lever then brings the whole outfit again above the water. They have also lately ob tained a small trip hammer arrange ment worked with the foot, the ham mer fitted with various dies, so that iron rings, or various quaint shapes can be instantly and accurately welded.

M. From The Anrora Xews, and Applied to the Latitude of Moline. He had been a reader of The Mo- line Review for years. On one oc casion he burst six blood vessels from laughing at a again he fell down stairs and broke thirteen ribs while reading a But still was to come the most awful catastrophe of his reading experience. Day after day he perused the line, 'Ed.

Knox frames pictures. First he said, 'What if he Then he remarked, 'Who said he didn't?" But these questions did no good; the same assertion came each day "Ed. Knox sells chromos." Day by day he read this assertion and wondered why The Review should continue to assure its readers that Ed Knox was an undertaker. Once he wrote to the editor asking him if he didn't think it impolite to keep piling this abuse on Knox, but no reply was vouchsafed. Then he swore he hoped it would prove a boomerang and that Knox would sue and get judgment, Finally he became exasperated and declared he would inform Mr, Knox that he hadn the backbone or an angle worm if he couldn't make The Review stop that.

Mr. Knox didn't answer, and he concluded the editor was taking advanatge of Mr. Knox's absence from Moline and abusing him to his back. "Henceforth forever," declared he, "I will pin my faith to the under man in this fight," and he start ed for Moline, intent on annihilating the whole Review establishment, Boarding a train, he turned to the lo cal paga of a copy of that paper, which he had brought along to read on the way. "Ed.

Knox repairs picture frames," first met his gaze, and he nev er smiled at one of the subsequently read "gokes." A fence at Port Byron Junction bore the painted inscription 'Get your mirrors re-framed at and he remarked that an editor could be in better business than eoing around painting thing3 about men on the fences. On the Rock river bridge he found another like insinuation, and he continued to wax hot in wrath. Step ping off the train he met a gentleman of whom he asked: "Do you know B. Knox?" The response nearly turned his bead. "Yes; he frames pictures and sells brackets and paintings." With superior control over his passion he refrained from knocking the man down, and went on.

Further on he put the query to a young lady, and she replied: "Oh, yes; he sells chro- Ile didn't wait to hear the rest, but headed for Tiie Review office, deter mined to make mince meat of every body there, from the editor up to the very carpenters employed to hammer for their edification in the smctum On the way he met a pleasant looking man whom he stopped and questioned "Do you know Ed. Knox?" "That's my name," was the response. "Wei what is your business?" "I sell steel engravings and knick-knacks." ''Well I'll be teetotal ly drubbed to dagnation You've caught it, too, have yon? came down here to hammer the day lights out of them Review fellars for you, but when a man goes back on himself, I feel like turning into pitchfork and stabbing myself to death four times at a lick.

And John awoke, and, all in a perspiration went and Bat by the window, and picking up The Review read, as he had the last thing before retiring: "Ed.

Knox sell3 the kutest kinds of komical kard3." Temperance. Dr. G. Clougb, of Philadelphia, will speak on Temperance, viewing the magnitude of the present Reform movement, by glancing at the work of Temperance Societies 33 to 40 years ago, and what it is now promising to da for the world.

"Whipple, and D. O. Reid. "We claim that the various Wards except the First, have nominated good men to fill the several vacancies in the City Council, and that the Republi cans have a strong ticket, which is entitled to ready and earnest support. "We hope that Republicans will make it their business to visit the voting places in the several Wards in which they reside, on Tuesday the 16th and, voting the straight ticket, poll such a vote as shall carry their nomi nees into the City Council.

The "new gospel of peace" has prevailed to such an have seemed so anxious to vote for those who "have no poli tics," that they have sometimes desert ed good men for no reason except that they had a political creed and voted for unfit men because they belonged to "no party." In the coming election let each voter stand by his colors and cast his ballot no less for good princi ples than for good men. The "Work be sure to be out in strong solely for their nominees. In that respect at least, let the Republicans follow suit without fear or favor. In the First Ward, the "Working-ingmen" seem to have entered the Republican caucus and nominated their own candidate. Mr.

Peterson is said ta have trained with the Tildenites in the last campaign, Isader of the crew here, and though his friends may be strong enough to elect him, we do not see why straight out Republicans should be expected to vote for a man nominated by their opponents, in a caucus packed by men of a different political faith. "We believe the delegates elected in the Second, Third and Fourth Wards in the city, should refuse to allow the delegates from the First "Ward, to vote in the convention to be held at the Engine house to-morrow (Saturday). "We hope that if there are any good Republicans in the First Ward (who are not scared out of their wits,) that they will -visit the Engine house, and be selected as delegatts.dis-piacing those elected "Wednesday evening. "We suggest also, that such men nominate some good Republican in the First "Ward, to be voted for, for Alderman. If they are defeated in the effort to elect such, no shame will attach to men who make the trial.

An honorable deftat is vastly better than a crooked victory, and, if beaten, let there at least be no doubt as to the points at issue. The Water Works. Already our citizens have had opportunity to see the great benefit of our system of water works. At midnight Tuesday, when the wind was blowing a gale, the water which poured in torrents upon the fire at the "Western Uouse, wa3 forced into duty by the pressure furnished by the engine at Dimock, Gould Co's.

"We venture to predict that it will not take long to save in city property, the amount expended in laying down these pipes, ready at all tine e3 to be used for public and private protection.
