DEATH OF LAURENT ElHL
Injuries Sustained by . Failing Embark
ment Prove Fatal

Injuries Sustained by . Failing Embank-
ment Prove Fatal
The sufferings of Laurent Eihl
were ended yesterday afternoon by
death, which came at 4:45 after over
three months of unspeakable agony,
resulting from injuries received
from a falling embankment while
employed by the city. Mr.. Eihl had
bones fractured beside sustaining
internal Injuries from the accident,
and bore his suffering long and well
in view of his mature years.
MIR. Eihl was born at Strassburp.
Germany, Jan. 81, 1918. and came to
Rock Island about twenty-seven
years ago. Some years ago he was
identified with the city's business in
tcrests as proprietor of meat mar
ket and later embarked in the saloon
business. but finally gave that up.
Mr.. Eihl was once comparatively
wealthy man, but misfortune seemed
to be his and right on the
eve of an undertaking, and while
living at La Fayette, Ind, he lost
his all by foods. And in other
endeavors success was not with him.
He was a good, honorable and indus
trious man. Five children and a
wife survive: Lawrence, Albert,
Mrs. Frank Knox, Julia and Bertha.
The funeral will occur from the
German Lutheran church tomorrow
afternoon at 2 O'Clock.

An Industry Comm e.. Rock Isis Id From
>ierliny.
Aside from and in addition to the
manufacturing projects heretofore al
luded to as likely to come to Rock
Island, comes the assurance of still
another. 1t is to be brought here
from Sterling Feb. 1. and is now
known as the Sterling Manufacturing
company, makers of heavy hardware,
etc. The company will bring to Rock
Island 90 hands, and has leased the
Thompson foundry on Twenty-fourth
street for two years from Feb. 1, with
privilege Of FIVE. The present ten
ants of the building are moving out
to give way to the new industry.
The company en- coming to Rock
Island will probably incorporate un-
der the name of the Rock Island
Manufacturing company.
H. A. Glow, manager of the Union
Scale company OF Des Moines, is in
the city today and it would not be
surprising if he picked up his indus
try and brought it here.

that Syrup o. Figs will permanently

A Simple Purifier,

The air of a room may be purified in
two hours by setting inside of it wide
mouthed pitcher filled with pure cold
water. In three hours at most It will
have absorbed all the respired gases in
the room, leaving the air purer by that
much, but the water will be too filthy
to use, If one but knew and could see
what 1t has taken in. 1t is estimated
that a common pailful of ice-cold water
will absorb in six houIs one Quart of
carbonic acid and several pints of am
monia from the air. For the purpose of
purifying the air the water Is all right.
but don't use 1t to wash in or to drink.
For those purposes use fresh water.
Just drawn, or use from vessels that are
always covered either by metal or china
Or by several folds of cloth, like clean
owel. Care in the use of drinking
water would avert many calamities, as
Uphold and other malarial fevers.

silver Qestion Bobs Up.

Chicago, Dec. THE silver question
again bobbed up at the regular weekly
meeting of the Chicago Federation OF
Labor. A delegate introduced a resol
ton to the effect that "Tne Chicago
Federation of Labor does affirm it's al
iegiance to the American Federation of
Labor. and particularly to that plank in
Its platform declaring for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at 10 to
I, adopted at the Denver convention In
1894, and Endorsed at the New York
convention In 1896"
Immediately dozen delegates arose
and protested against the resolution.
Seeing the storm that was brewing, the
delegate who had introduced the silver
resolution withdrew it and quiet was
again restored. The constitution of the
Federation was then adopted. 1t in |
,ludes clause that "the Federation |
