JEWELL OF FILTER FAME.



I.venssr eG the Rock Island Plant IN The
CITY q the Msyor's Isvisaslss.
o. 81. Jewell, of the Jewell Filter
com pany. is in town today consult.
ing Mayor Knox with reference to
the improvement OF the plant at the
water works.
Mr.. Jewell was eeen at the Harper
house with reference TO the Cable
fiiteriog plant purchased Of him. and
he said '.the plant has never doae
justice to Mr.. Cable or to me. 1t
was put in on an estimate that the
pumping capacity Of the waterworks
was 500, 900 gallons per day. In.
stead. the daily consumption was
really twice that amount, and now
it is nearer 1000. 600 than anything
else. We originally put in thre >
tanks. and later Mr.. Cable put liz
another. and still the water supply
pumped has gone beyond the capa-
city Of the filters"
Asked as to his plan for remedy.
ing the deficiency, Mr.. Jewell said:
II am here on the invitation oi
Mayor Knox and will make . state.
ment to the council tonight. nv
plan is to take out the filters nov
there and install new ones of the
latest pattern, provided with sub,id
ing tank filtering devices, such al
will be equal to q capacity of not lesl
than 100000 gallons. The fact
that the general fixtures of the Gable
plant can be used will materially re-
duce the cost"
When asked to furnish an estimate
Of the cost MIR. Jewell said it would
cost IS 900 per million gallons. This
would make the total cost to the city
$50, 900.
In reply to inquiry if the present
plant could not be increased to meel
the present demands Mr.. Jewell said
it probably could by adding to the
tanks, and making up in the units
what was lacking In number.
Mr.. Jewell also stated that he had
inspected the sites proposed for q
reservoir at the mayors solicitation,
aud as an engineer. but he did no,
seem inclined to favor the reservoir
on general principles, on the ground
that the expense would not be justi
fed by results, provided the flterine
apparatus at the present works wal
properly improved.
Mr.. Jewell said that the litigation
over his patent was not such % tt
affect the plant here, as it was
brought by the New York Filtel
company. aud affecting entirely the
use Of alum, which is not employed
here anyway. and he expected fav
orable dicision in 10 days.
1t is hardly to be presumed that
the idea of Mr.. Jewell to entirely re
place the plant Mr.. Cable had him
put in in good faith at such
enormous expense, will meet with
approval. If the original plant pro
vided by him is not equal to the in.
creased demands, he should be capa
BILE of making it equal to emergen
cies at moderate cost, as Mr.. Cabl'
expected it would answer all pur
poses at the time and for the imme
diate future, and could be readily in
creased were q demand to arise.

A DISTURBANCE.
Shellpot Park was the scene Saturday

ed in the arrest Of Samuel Cole and his
transfer TO the City Hall. Baby Mabel,
one of the child performers who has
been filling a two-week's engagement
at the park, is the daughter of this man
Cole
At about 9 o'clock, shortly before the
little girl finished her act George Comp
ton, the stage carpenter, got into an al
tercaLion with Mrs Cole, the mother of
the child. Compton alleges that the
woman struck him in the eye. He put
her cut of the building, and she called
hor husband. who went to the rear of
the stage and demanded an explanation
Of Compton's treatment of his wife. Hot
words followed and Cole pounced upon
Compton. The latter called for aid,
snd Edward Lea arriving upon the
scene turned in and helped Compton.
In the tussle that followed Cole got the
worst end. and he was finally handed
over TO Officer Sheldon, who escorted
him from the park into the City Hall.
Attracted by the excitement, a crowd of
curious men and boys followed the Off
GERS and his prisoner to the corner, and
several boisterous fellows in the crowd
made an attempt to take him from the
officer. Cole was brought safely into
the City Hall and locked up. When the
excitement subsided the performance
proceeded. and those who had left
their seats returned to them.

News OF the disturbance reached
town quickly. and soon 1t was reported
that a riot had occurred This report
however, was found to be without foun

were on hand promptly and Cole wa
taken into custody with little ceremony
