Leased the PAPER Mill.

John F. Clark. of Marseilles. H.,
has leased of the receiver for the
bondhclders Of the Columbian Straw
Paper company the former Graham
mill and plant at Sears. and will on.
crate it henceforth. Mr.. Clark i:
now in the city, and the mill is pre-.
pairing to resume. The mill has
been suspended since the latter part
of December.
Mr.. Clark stated to an ARGUS re.
preventative this afternoon that the
extent OF the lease would depend
upon the process of the courts which
would eventually dispose OF the prop
erty. He proposed. however to put
IN the necessary repairs and begin
operations at once. He will bring
from Marseilles such men as he is
unable to secure here. Mr.. Clark
operates paper mills at MarseilIes,
and is experienced and has been sue
ceSsful in the business.

A Midnight Accident.

An unfortunate mishap marred the
pleasure of moonlight jaunt being
enjoyed by Otto Huber, Charles Blu
ford and Charles Stockhouse last
night. About ten bells and half
one of the trio suggested squirt on
their wheels to Milan and return.
The roads were in excellent condi-
ton, the moon shone with all her
splendor. the atmosphere was re-
freshing-hence the pleasure of
such trip was beyond estima-
ton. So they went. Everything was
lovely until the old fair grounds on
Ninth street were reached on
the return trip. Here the trees
overhanging the road darkened
the thoroughfare somewhat. not
bettered by the lamps which the gen.
tlemen had attached to their wheels.
They were speeding along rather
lively, when all of a sudden the faces
of two putting stccds confronted
them. Messrs. Buford and Huber
turned quickly to either side and es-
capped collision. But Mr.. Stock
house was less fortunate. He ran
squarely into the horses and vehicle,
demolishing the fore wheel of his
bicycle. MIR. Stockhouse was thrown
headlong beneath the animals feet,
and considers himself more than
lucky in escaping bodily injury.
The party gathered together the
remains and footed it home.

TWELFTH STREET.
No Occasion for the Delay in
Paving.
WORK MAY AS WELL PROGRESS

The Assessment Roll Is Boand to be Ap-
proved and City Attorney Haas Holds
That the City Can Proceed and That
Contractors Will he Safe.
Much inquiry has naturally been
made as to the status of the Twelfth
street paving. and as to how long the
street is to be kept in its present
condition. which in some places is
practically impossible, a number of
vehicles having already been upset
and one citizen has sought damages
from the city in consequence.
There is no reason why the paw
ing operations should not 60 forward.
The new assessment roll will come
up in the county court as soon as
Judge Adams returns. when City
Attorney Haas will aim to secure
Immediate approval of the same.
Mr.. Haas said this morning that
there was nothing to hinder the pro-
gress of the work and that the city
sooner or later in any event would
secure court ruling in its favor,
and the contractors undertaking tine
Job would be perfectly secure. When
the original assessment roll was
Knocked out o. legal technicalities
the Edwards & Walsh Construction
company surrendered its contract,
but the council has fully empowered
the mayor to enter into negotiations
with any contractors looking to the
putting in of the paving.
No Reason for Delay,
AS far as the proceedings in court
are concerned they need not hinder
construction work one iota. the prop
erty holders who have sought to in
terrupt the progress. relying. it is
quite evident. entirely on delay, as
there is no ground for issue on the
citv's power to do the work as long
as its ordinances come in all re-
spects within the provisions of the
law. Mr.. Haas believes the present
ordinance will hold in the face of all
attacks, and with this assurance it
seems that the city would be fully
warranted in going ahead with its
paving operations, which are a great
source of labor supply in Rock ISL
and. as well as providing a good
street in this instance where it is
sadly needed.
Let the good work 20 on.

The removal of a Cataract from the
eye Is one of the most delicate opera
lions performed by the oculist A cat
aract Is formed by the lens of the eye
becoming opaque, so as to appear gray
ish or otherwise, when 1t shuts out the
light from the optic nerve. The oculist
of today cuts into the ball of the eye
and removed the darkened lens, and
the optician supplies the defect by artia
fetal lenses that make good the sight.
The demand for glass eyes is increas-
ing as the character and quality Of tho
eyes Improve. U~nsightly eyeballs are
now removed In part, leaving enough
Of the muscles to rotate the glass shell

lists can take eyes from their sockets,
wipe them on q coarse towel and re-

who is called upon to listen to suc.
tales is perfectly justified If under such
circumstances he should wink the otheI
