tiatingly severe that Il physician who
happened to be on the train was con-
suited. He upon examination dis
covered that the collar bone on the
right side had been severely fractured.
The best attention possible on the
train was given, and on reach

that had been hanging fire before the
council for many weeks pending 4
settlement of the various railroad
questions on First avenue-was final

semi-monthly meeting last night.
This officially sanctions 4 long cher

lington and Peoria companies to so
rearrange and exchange their tracks
between Seventeenth and Thirteenth
streets as to concentrate their respec-

in the past in operating trains to

result. All this viii be abolished
with the introduction of the new ar

Peoria also agrees to moys' feet

Fourteenth street, thereby giving Il
more desirab BILE width to First avenue
in that vicinity.
A resolution offered by Aid. Elwell
and passed by the council. provides
only such ice as is inspected and
pronounced pure by the health COM
missioner shall be sold in the city for
domestic usage. This is matter to
which Health Commissioner j. p
Comegys has given considerable at
tention, and his interest in the public S
welfare in this connection is indeed
commendable, for it is not to be
doubted that many ills are caused
from the use of ice containing impur-
tiles.
Control OF Parades
The matter of controlling interior

is found, is an authority vested in
the mayor and police by statutory en-

resolution directing the city clerk to
so notify the Tri-City Labor congress,
which recently requested the council
to pass an ordinance in relation
thereto. Similar action was taken by
the Davenport city council with refer
ence to the matter.

secure the appointment of two more
