The meeting of the Tri-City Sanitary
association called at the circuit court room
of the court house last evening did not at
tract a very large audience. This was
readily explained when it became known
| that the several churches of this city arc
| holding evening meetings, and also that
the public generally, were afraid to attend
| a meeting of the medical fraternity, some
| of whom are attending smallpox patients
at Moline.
Those in attendance at the meeting
therefore, decided to postpone the reading
of essays prepared for the occasion until
the present small pox scare shall have sub
sided. 1t was agreed that the next regular
meeting, which falls on the fourth Monday
in the present month, would be the most
appropriate time for carrying out the ex-
ercisss arranged for the meeting last night.
The next meeting will occur on Monday
evening, January 23rd, and will be held at
one of the city churches. At that time

the medical congress held at Atlanta a few
weeks ago.

paper on "Vital statistics" prepared with
special reference for this locality.

They are never in a tranquil

excitement They are never in tranquil
state of mind, but are constantly imagining
that the inhabitants of this city are impos-
ing on their good nature, and that they
will cease to command the respect of the
civilized world, if they fail to talk about
what they intend to do. The actual facts
in the case would lead to the conclusion
that the South Rock Islanders donot differ
materially from the rest of mankind, and
are not more pugilistic and bellicose than
the residents of this side of the division
line. The location of the county pest
house in South Rock Island has been con-
strued by some of the tax PAYERS of that
bailiwick as the work Of the officials OF this
city. From the conversations of these in
dividuals, 1t would be inferred that the
building was about to be destroyed, and
the officials engaged in the location slaugh-
tered in cold blood The Supervisor from
that township, Mr.. Campbell, this morning
stated that there was no excitement in that
township, and that no official action
looking to a resistance of the location of
such building had been taken,

MILAN BRIDGE.

Trouble is anticipated by those in po-
sition to know, by reason of the recent
refusal on the part of the city council to
appropriate money for the Clinton Bridge
company The contract requires the city
to appropriate money as the work pro
crosses, and the engineer appointed by the
city is to Judge of the amount Of work
completed or under way. That official
made an estimate which was submitted to
the council showing that nearly $1400
worth of lumber had been purchased by
the company. no account being taken of
the labor performed in preparing the lum-
Der for the structure.
the bridge company on its part agreed
to pay so per day for every day after
the 1st of January that the work remains
in an incomplete state.
The members of the bridge committee
are of the opinion that the appropriation
should have been granted as it may be
difficult to secure the penalty of so per
day from the bridge company when the
city has refused to comply with its part
of the contract. The fact that the bridge
was not completion the 1st of January
does not vitiate the contract, as a penalty
and so much per day has been arranged
for failure of that character.
The city attorney has not been con-
suited in the premises, and the action of
the council may give some trouble before
the bridge is completed and all the pay
ments made.
The special pleading that some official
had advanced, that the meeting of the
council was special meeting, does not
figure in the case. An Alderman is au-
thOrity for the statement that special meet
ings of the council in the past have usually
taken up any matter that was properly
brought before the meeting.
Those interested in the matter expect
that another special meeting will be held
to take some action on the matter, as the
present arrangement does not appear to
give entire or general satisfaction to all
parties concerned.

DETECTION.

In view of the prvalence of smallpox in
Moline and the general scare about that
disease in this locality, The following means
of detecting the malady may not prove
uninteresting. DIR. Robert b. Mckay, a
practitioner of ST. Louis, gives the follow
ing as infallible: 1.-The feeling of tiredness
and pain in the back are almost universal
and prominent symptoms, but the one
thing that distinguishes smallpox from
every other is the hardness of the eruption.
BY pressing and passing the hand over the
forehead and legs the feeling is exactly
that which would be caused by medium
sized shot being buried under the skin, and
the severity of the disease may certainly
be known by the number or thickness of
these shot-like bumps"

morning. 1t would appear that he has
perfect right to dispose of his goods, as the
city ordinances do not require that license
should be taken out to permit such traffic

he purchased ticket at Colona for Alexis.
A special train passed the former station,
which was tagged by the agent and the
passenger got on board. The conductor
ascsrtaining that the passenger had a
ticket, refused to carry him, as it was
claimed that the special train did not carry
way passengers. Bruner was accordingly
put off, and was obliged to wait until the
regular train passed, when he was carried
to his destination in safety.
The local authorities informed the
aggrieved party that the conductor was not
allowed to carry passengers on the special,
and also stated that the conductor had no
right to exact money for the passengers

AS far as can be ascertained, MIR. Bruner
has not instituted suit against the com
