Sparks From the smokestack.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
company are building new platform on
the north side of their depot. Itwould
be a good idea to build new DEPOT.
The General Passenger Agents of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road and
the Central Iowa roads have given notice
of an intention to withdraw from the Des
Moines passenger agreement next month,
but assert that they do not intend to cut
rates
The Burlington Gazette says it can au-
thoritatively state that the B., c. r. & N.
road has decided to build two hundred
miles of road next spring, for which the
necessary arrangements are now being
made. The Pacific division will be ex--
tended in a northwesterly direction from
Worthington, Minnesota, and ultimately
reach Bismarck on the Northern Pacific
The Clinton branch from this place to
Morse Station, via Upton, which was
graded and half the distance built several
years ago. will be completed, which will
giyc-the Iowa City people Chicago out
let by way of Clinton, for which large
sums of money have been given by the
people of johnson county, who, however,
gained very little for their liberality. The
present management of the B., c. r. &
N. ismaking it one of the best pieces of
railroad property IN the west and the
wisdom of extending its lines into the
northwest will be demonstrated even be-
fore the connection is made with the
Northern Pacific.

CLEAR AND SPARKLING.
That's the Kind of Water the Citizens
of Rock Island Wish.

The fact that the city council has or
dered new inlet pipe TO be extended
from the water works building to the
slough adjacent, has caused considerable
comment among Our citizens of an unfa-
yorable nature It is true that the city
"fathers" acted with the best Of intention,
and with one object in view-to protect
the city from the demon of fire. If the
proposed pipe is laid. and it will be unless
the council change their minds in regard
to the matter, the health os the city viii
be endangered to certain degree. Of
course, the council says the slough water
will be used only in case of an emergency,
and the mains will be flushed Immediately
afterwards, and thus clear them of all
infectious matter. This would in de-
gree, purify them, but not entirely. The
same trouble would exist that was preva-
lent before the present water works were
erected, and the health of our city would
be greatly impaired.
At an expense Of about $25, 900 Mr.. P.
L. Gable donated to the city the present
water works building for the sole pur-
pose of improving the city's welfare and
the general health. He placed this large
sum at the disposal Of the city, not for
any pet scheme or motive, but simply
from his boundless generosity. He,
like other citizens, but in no
larger degree received the benefits of
the change, the result being a great i'm
provement IN the general health. Every
body knows that slough water is object
ionabe for drinking and cooking pur
poses, but how much more so must it be,
when we know the slough in question is
a receptacle for the filth of Moline, which
is an outlet for its sewerage system.
As long as we can get pure fresh water
from the river, let us have it. and none
else. At a smaller outlay of money than
the expense OF laying another inlet pipe,
the present one can be extended out into
the channel, and be protected in such a
manner that slush ice cannot interfere.
Competent men say that Golfer dam can
be built around the end of the pipe with
out cutting off the water supply. This
can be done by having gate in the dam
The citizens generally express the hope
that the council will see this important
question in the right light. and instead
of laying new pipe into the slough, that
the present one be remedled in such a
manner that sufficient water can be had,
no matter what emergency arises. Even
if the latter method would cause more ex-
pense, they are in favor of it, and right
ly argue that the health of the city is of
great deal more Importance, and deserves
more consideration than few thousand
dollars.

anything commendatory of proprietary

quests me to tell you that he had long
been sufferer with the terrible blood
faint, and securing little if any relief from
other treatment, finally resorted to Swift's

forded him relief, that he feels that his
