IT CAUSESCONCERN
Effect Of the New Hospital on
Water.
DRAINAGE TO RECEIVE ATTENTION

Health Authorities of the Three Cni,s
Will Doubtless Take up the Subject
With State Boards-Au Important sani-
ta,y Matter.
There has been no evidence as vet
OF the sanitary authorities of the
three cities giving the subject much
concern, bu. there are ply sicians in
Rock Island who are considerably
anxious about the subject Of drain
age of the new Western Insane hos
p!tal at WATERFOWL, and the effect
upon the water supply of three cities
taken from the Mississippi river.
The sewerage of an institution such
as this with something like 500 peo-
pie being so close by might readily
have tendency to pollute the wa
ter supply OF the three cities unless
provision is made for properly di-
verging the drainage channels. 1t
is subject of much gravity, one
local physician contends, which is
very apt to enlist the attention of
the state boards of health of both Illi
nois and Iowa. There is but one
subject to be considered in that con-
neption, and toat is drainage. When
the various sites were under consid-
Grafton for the hospital location the
admirable facilities peculiar to this
locality were held up as the induce
ments and that of drainage was en-
pbasized as one Of the most import
ant. AS matter OF course the rivers
were alone thought of in such con-
neclion. The point that comes up
now is whether the institution is to
be sufficiently remote so that the
refuse to be carried from it to the
river will lose its communicating
effect by the time the water is dashed
over the rapids, or whether some
general plan to change the course of
the sewer from the intake pipes will
be necessary.
One Plan Proposed.
One plan proposed has been to pipe
the drainage far enough to carry it
beyond the channel and then turn it
down the slough. This would be a
very expensive undertaking, as any
scheme devised should involve a
consideration of the interests of all
three cities, and the one suggested
should carry it beyond the Moline
source of supply. 1t has been sug-
gested to put in system of sewers
all the way until tho first Moline
sewer is reached.
| The problem is a serious one well
worthy of consideration, rs it has al
ready received the attention of the
East Moline projectors in their en-.
terprise. The question of sanitary
welfare is involved, and nothing is OF
more vital concern to all the people

There was another little clash st
Clinton yesterday between the Wi
mona aud the 10 Long, the boats
coming together and the last named
one receiving some damage to her
VIII eel. The long was backing out
aud while the Winona. which was
back Of her. whistled, she paid no
tention until the collision occurred.
People who went to Clinton on the
Winona Y. NJ. &. A. excursion wit
messed the Incident and they state,
too, that the .eling of bitterness in
Clinton is inexplica Die. not only in
extent, bat in intensity. 1t amounts
to systematic boycott OF all that
pertains to the Winona and Verne
Swain, aud no one who goes to Clin-
ton on either boat on commercial
errand is Hospitality received. The
reception 10 10 Long the other night
as a conquering hero after he had
stabbed Capt Osborn, OF Davenport,
is an evidence of the distraction to
which the people there have permit
ted themselves to be carried.
Yet Clinton is standing in
her own light. The excur-
sions which Capt. Streckfus is
taking every week to that city can
not fail to be beneficial to the town,
and Streckfus takes up hundreds
from here where his rivats carry one.
The business that goes into a tow

Island welcomes excursions, no mat
ter where they come from, or who
brings them, and the stranger. be he
from Clinton or Kalamazoo, or by
riv-r, rail or canal boat, will be made
a. home here. People generally have
not been inhospitablv received at
Clinton. but commercial tourist can
do no business there unless he pat
ronizes the Long boats.
Without entering into the merits
or dement's of the controversy be-
tween the rival packet lines, the boy
colt Clinton is inaugurating is bound
to react, for Rock Island cannot fail
10 retaliate.

A more prepossessing hero than the
purchaser of Flack's Neck might easily
be found. He was forty, rather stout.
q little bald. and not little freckled.
AS he stood upon the one knoll that
the Neck bOasted. under the solitary
tree that had battled for its life with
a long succession of Atlantic storms.
and surveyed his ten acres with the eye
and mien of a Selkirk. u casual Observ-
er would not have suspected Nathaniel

The Neck unquestionably presented
superior claims as a site for structures
of that sort. because the one thing that
1t would exhibit In abundance was the
requisite building material. Air! The
whole meteorological wealth of the
ocean overfiowed into that circum-
scribed area OF wave washed beach and
sahd dunes.
Quimby wondered whether his little
territory included ten acres at high or
at low tide. He had been bred in an

the instability of its boundary line. The
