Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Peoria, Illinois, Vol. 1 Had this been the doctrine of the authors of the Scriptures, we would to this day have remained ignorant of the important fact that Mr. Samson was an old libertine, and that Miss Delilah was any thing but a modest maiden. Nor would we now be aware of the more important fact that the man who, at one time, was 'a man after God's own heart', was at another time peeping into the garden at a beautiful woman, whose raiment, all told, was less than that of the woman Maj. Powell saw on the Colorado, to wit, a string of beads. Nor of the much more important fact that the old rascal had the husband of that woman killed, 'that he might pos sess the ewe-lamb' without annoyance. Nor would the still greater fact have come down to this generation that, even in that day, there was one who had dared, with reference to the doer of this great iniquity, to say unto David Thou art the man.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peoria: And the State Capital The proposed removal of the State Capital from Springfield to Peoria is one of the most important questions now before the people of Illinois. It is due, therefore, that the people should be placed in possession of some of the steps taken in behalf of the removal and the reasons urged therefor. Dissatisfaction having been expressed with regard to the present location of the proposed new state house, the scanty amount of ground (wholly unsufficient) upon which it is being erected, and the questionable manner in which the appropriations for its erection are being expended, the citizens of Peoria were induced to make a formal offer for the removal of the capital to the beautiful bluffs which overlook their place. The first public act of Peoria was the appointment, on the 11th day of March, 1871, of a committee of the Peoria Board of Trade to confer with the citizens and city council on the subject. On the following evening, Saturday, March 12, a public meeting was held at the courthouse, at which it was unanimously resolved that Peoria ought to offer a sum sufficient to indemnify the state against any loss from her present work, and to donate twenty acres of ground as an inducement for the removal of the capital to their city. On the evening of Tuesday, March 14, a meeting of the city council of Peoria was held, at which communications signed by several hundred citizens were read, offering if the city should make an offer for the capital, to enter into personal bond guaranteeing the fulfillment of any contract that might be made. The council thereupon unanimously adopted the following Resolution and Memorial of Peoria. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Days of Peoria and Chicago: An Address Read Before the Chicago Historical Society at a Quarterly Meeting Held January 19, 1904 Heyward proceeded on his journey by way of the portage and the Illinois River to Peoria, where he found a few F renchmen living among the Indians, one of whom was Captain May, doubtless Jean Baptiste Maillet, whose name in F rench is said to have a sound much resembling May or Mai.

In early times tallow candles were used, more than all other things, to light our houses of nights; but, in prooess of time, stearine candles and lard oil, to a considerable extent, took their place. By-and-by spirit-gas, and then kerosene oil, became to be much in use; but they proved to be dangerous, as well as unfashionable, and coal-gas, has well-nigh superseded them all. In January, 1853, the legislature incorporated the'Peoria Gas-Light and Coke Company'. Soon afterward a company was organized in pursuance to that charter. They commenced supplying the central parts of the city first, and, as they progressed in laying down the gaspipes, they superseded all other kinds of light; but, as the city is spread over a large space of ground, and the population is too sparse in the suburbs for it to pay well to take gas to them, there are many yet in the city who are deprived of the benefits of this modern invention. It is now, however, so far extended that in all the thicklysettled parts of the city the people enjoy this comfort, not only in the streets, but also in their houses. It was originally supposed that the coal for the manufacture of this gas would have to be brought from Eastern Ohio or Western Pennsylvania, because the vein of coal generally used here for heating houses and propelling machinery contains too much sulphur to answer the purpose of making gas. It has, however, for several years heen known that another vein of coal, lying higher and a little further off, answers well for gas-making. This costs a little more than the common kind, but it is much cheaper than that brought from abroad. After the gas is extracted from the coal, it is still valuable as coke, and for some purposes more valuable than...
