TESTING WATER.

AT this season of the year a great deal
of water Is used. aud it is therefore the
more essential to look to and determine
the question of the purity of the water
used in the household for drinking and
cooking purposes. Large numbers OF
wells are poisoned by sewerage Or other
putrescible matter The water should be
carefully tested. The following is rec
commended by an exchange:
Fill a clean pint bottle three quarters
full with the water to be tested Dis
solve in it half teaspoonful of the
purest white graduated sugar Ii in
twenty -four or forty-eight hours the
water becomes cloudy or milky it is unfit
loI domestic use fit remains clear it is
probably good

The following is Mr.. Huleatt's side Of the
story, as written by his brother;
EDITOR ARGUs-In answer to an article
which appeared in your paper. will en-
deavor to state few facts which ! know
TO be the truth:
Eealy last spring r. A Huieatt applied
to Mr. Koch, of Rock Island, for boy or
man to work on the farm, and got boy
who gave his name as Chas. Biler He is
the same boy who rushed into the county
clerks Office and gave his name as w.
Toporowicz Mr. H took the boy
home and had him help him, when
he cut his foot and was not
able to do anything for five weeks
Not wishing TO send the boy to Rock
Island where he would have to pay his
board, Mr. II, kept him till his foot got
well All this time his clothes were
washed and mended by Mrs. Huleatt
After his foot got well he was hired for
the season, but left on his own accord in
about three weeks He was a foreigner,
as he said, and could not speak English,
nor understand it either, especially if he
did not want to for he was very lazy. These
facts will show that Mr.. Huleatt is clear
from any injustice to the 10y. I can
vouch for the truth of this assertion.

THE WATER WORKS.

Since Superintendent Kerr got the
water works out of the terrible condition
they were found to be in a few days after
he took charge, everything has moved
along smoothly, A few days ago the
pumps were examined, and only one small
piece of bark was found. No dead fish,
turtle, or anything of that description
were in them If Mr. Ira Holly was here,
he would undoubtedly acknowledge that
he made an ass of himself before the city

there was not man around the water

There are many reasons given by the
newspapers Of Rock Island and Moline as
to the cause OF the suicide of Mr. Hans
Maasen of Hillsdale The real cause, as
learned from friend of the deceased,
was trouble. Several years ago Mr.
Maasen visited Germany. While absent,
his wife became enamOred with another
man, and hecame reckless as to her mar
riage vows When the wroneed husband
returned home. and learned Of his wife,
baseness, he determined to separate from
her, and an agreement was made to that
effect The property was divided, and
shortly afterwards she ran away
with the partner OF her crime,
taking with her Their youngest child. q
girl This worried the old gentleman
greatly He never heard from his reck
less wife or his child afterwards This
daughter was the child of his old age
and he thought more of her than he did
of the others Then he lost money in
Texas lands, and had money due him
near home which he needed aud could
not get. He probably thought that pow
erty stared him in the face in his old age
and this with the sorrow and disgrace OF
his wifc's actions, the absence of his be
loved child, drove him to the deed. The
poor, misguided and wronged man de
serves sympathy All his old nelghbor'
speak highly of him May the mex
world deal more gently with him than this
one did

Suspension of Stiles. Gegdy & Fsc-
Esahan, OF Chicago, Rrakars.

CHICAGO July 1.-THE suspension was an
nounced OH change Of Stiles, GoIdy & Nc
Mahan, 1913 La.5alle street The announce
ment caused little excitement, though con
siderable surprise, as the firm was considered
nv local traders to be one of the soundest on
the street, ranking until lately with such
houses as Irwin, Orr & Co; Mct3eoch,
Everingham G Co, and other big concerns.
Mr.. Stiles said he did not wish to relate the
causes OF the suspension, and that it was
impossible as yet to give anything like
a correct estimate of the assets and liabil-
ities. He was confident, however, of resum-
ing business very shortly. The immense
number OF option trades on the books rem
.ders it an extremely difficult task to get at
the exact financial standing of the firm The
clerks are hard at work on the books and Mr.
Stiles expects to ascertain the exact amount
of the firms Indebtedness before the end OF
the week.

The Euli Mountain Branch,

The Billings people are inclined to
the opinion that the coal branch to
the Bull mountains will not start from
that town after all the talk, and that
even now. when they could almost
hear the rumble Of the trains as they
came loaded with coal, the route will
be changed and located up Buffalo
creek. departing from the main line
some distance below Billings. The
local papers are, as may be supposed,
of the opinion that their readers are
an ill.used people, and believe that
their interests are being Systematically
opposed. The Herald in referring to
this vexed subject says: ''It is hlnted
that other Influences than disin!er.
