Today Superintendent II. B. Sudlow
of the Rock Island s. Peoria road, judge
C. Lynde. its president, and Mr.. A. C
Dart. leave on an important mission
through central and northwestern Iowa.
Il guess it is no longer a secret" said
Mr.. Sudlow, in conversation with an AR,
GUS reporter last evening. that the re-
cent railroad tax levy election in Daven :
port. had something of especial signifi
canoe to Rock Island, and our trip is to
be to great extent, as result of that
election. which voiced the popular senti-
ment of the people of Davenport as in ia
vor of the construction of the new DAYS
export, Iowa & Dakota railroad of the
northwest"
Then. Mr.. Sudlow," said the scribe,
you mean to intimate that the Rock ISL
and & Peoria is to be by combination
with the proposed road. extended into
Iowa?"
That is it exactly, sir; the directors of
the Rock Island & Peoria are interested
in the proposed new road, and this is the
reason of our trip"
But how are you to get across the
river?"
by bridge, of course"
And then it is the intention of the
company to build the bridge below the
city,"
That has been one of the prime mos
tlves of the Davenport, Iowa & Dakota
company, from the outset But | have
told you enough and as much as can be
made public now. When the time comes,
you shall know more" And the wide.
awake superintendent bid bis iuquisitive
friend goodnight.
Mr. SudlOw's remarks are sufficient to
indicate which way the wind blows. The
recent city election in Davenport, where
proposition to levy a tax on city prop
erty of three per cent amounting to sew
eral thousand dollars to construct the
Davenport, Iowa & Dakota railroad as
far as Upton, Iowa, is known to our
readers. Another object of the COM
pany is the construction of new
railroad bridge below the city, and as
Rock Island is largely interested in
the directory of the company, it
is not at all improbable that
new bridge will span the river
here at no far distant date and
that the Rock Island s Peoria rail-
road will be carrying passengers
straight through from Peoria and the
south east, to Sioux City, Dakota and the
great northwest.

and---A Protest.

On the house OF DR.. S. C. Plummer,
700 Twentieth street. is red card which
bears word which carries horror to
| everyone who reads it. 1t is "Small
Pox, and the patient is DR.. Plummer's
son, DR.. S. C. Plummer, Jr, who, the
first of the week, was sent home from
Cook County Hospital. Chicago. with in
dications of the disease upon him.
Health Commissioner Craig, who has WIS.,
tied the patient, says the symptoms are
those of mild form of small pox or var>
loloid. and in pursuance TO his duty,
gave the public the benefit of the doubt
by placing the patient in quarantine.
Young Plummer has been since his
graduation from college, year ago, an
attending surgeon in the Cook County
Hospital at Chicago, position he re-
ceived by virtue of his rank in class at
college. Ii is probable that he contracted
the dreadful disease while in the dis
charge of his duties. and that the physi>
clans there suspecting it was in his sys-
TEN. sent him home, whereas, he should
have been kept there. or sent to hospi
tai where such diseases are treated. The
hospital authorities have placed them
selves open to severe criticism in this re-
gard. and DR.. Craig has deemed it his
duty to protest to DR.. Rauch, the secre-
tary of the state board of health. against
methods in which so much lack of pro-
per precaution is manifested
DR. Plummer came to Rock Island on a
passenger train, where he was thrown in
to contact with other travellers and if
the contagion is as suspected, in his sys-
TEN, no better means of spreading it
could be found. 1t is to be hoped that
the alarm is false one, as developments
may show, but that would not relieve
those who allowed the patient to expose
himself to the public under the circum
stances, from the censure they deserve.
