MR.. BLAIR INTO CLINTON.
Iowa Town Gives Him Right of Way for n
Railroad.

Frank p Blair, promoter of the
Terminal enterprise, has been given a
right of way into Clinton, Iowa, an
Indication that the Davenport. Gin
ton * Eastern proposition is being
stirred up. Says the Clinton Herald
of Tuesday:
Mr.. Blair is in the city. and last
evening met with the city council and
several business men, the object be-
ing to pave the way for an ordinance
granting the right of way over and
along certain streets. The map of
the proposed line shows that it will
enter the city to the south of the b.. ,
c., r. Il n. line at Mill creek, then
follow the bank of Beaver slough to
the rear of the packing house and va
rious lumber yards and mills till
Fourth street is reached, whence it
will angle to Second street, and then
follow it to Tenth avenue.
Some of the parties have not yet
given the right of way across their
property There are no negotiations
pending, as has been stated, for depot
grounds. But it is evidently the in
tention to locate the passenger depot
within block of the Northwestern.
';The city council met at O'Clock
this afternoon to consider the ordi-
nance. 1t is in the usual form and
seems to protect the rights of the
city. 1t had been ascertained in adj
vance that the entire council was in
favor of the same, hence there was no
doubt of its passage. 1t grants right
of way as described above, with an
additional line through the lumber
yards and along the vacated First
street to Eleventh avenue. The ordi-
nance provides that the road shall be
completed and that trains be running
on schedule time before the close of
next year. The ordinance was read,
the roll was called and it passed unan-

Connection With the Pump.
ing Station Made
Today.
NOT TO BE USED THIS WINTER

Combination of Circumstances Defeat the
Plans to Have Had the Plant Com
Pleted Before the Holiday Season
Work to be Pushed Ahead In the
Spring.
Today water was turned into Rock
Islands filter and reservoir plant, yet
in an incomplete condition. to protect
it from the damage that would likely
follow exposure to the wintry blasts
until the spring season rolls around
again, when work will be resumed
and pushed ahead, and the great i'm
provement finished in time for the
people to enjoy the blessings of pure
and clear water during the coming
summer.
1t was only due to com bination of
circu instances that the plant was not
finished and ready for use the present
winter. Mayor Medill was hopeful
until the last that his expectations
would be realized, but he and all 9TH
ers who have been watching the pro-
gress of the undertaking were finally
obliged to submit to the inevitable.
Mayor Medi!l, in talking to an AR
GUS reporter today, said, Two of
the settling basins are I. ~. The
connection of the supply pipe from
the pumping station to these basins
is made, and we expect to turn the
water into them at > o'clock this
afternoon, each of the basins having Il
capacity of 2,500,00 gallons. The
sand filter basins are not vet COM
pleted on account of there not being Il
sufficient amount of sand in them.
The requisite quantity of gravel has
been placed in them, and there is
about two and one-half feet of sand in
each of them, but each should have
five feet. When the ice breaks up in
the spring, time when the water, of
course, becomes very muddy, we viii
run water for use through the settling
basins and two of the filters. Then
we will commence at once to get sand
from the river for the third filter
basin, and rs soon as it is in condition
place it in commission, cutting ont
the other two filters until such time
as the required amount of sand shall
have been placed in them.
Arrangement OF the Pipes.
The arrangement of the pipes
through the plant is such that we can
use water direct from either the filter
OF settling basins to the city without
allowing it to flow into the storage |
reservoir, which is still in an uniin- |
iShed state, but which will be COM |
P!eted in the spring as soon rs the |
weather will permit the resumption
OF operations.
The plans adopted by the council
provide for the parking of that por
ton of the site not occupied by the
reservoir plant. Attention to this
Will undoubtedly be given during the
next year.

CONCERNING LYING.

A DR. HolmeB says: Sin has many
tO0is, but lie is the handle which fits
them all;
Now, the deliberate falsehood, the ma.
licious lie, as we call if, which is made
out of whole cloth, with the intention of
doing injury to some one is not as a rule,
perhaps, the most hurtful nor the most
difficult to deal with. The barefaccd
falsehcod Is soon over5aken by the truth,
and indeed it is so evidently out of har-
mony with what we know to be right and
good that we do not really take much
stock in it to begin with. The soul
that is sincere has an intuitive perception
of the truth and is not deceived. If we
stop to think about it we understand that
the truth must have certain proportions,
and that one truth is related to other
truths. The truth is normal and SYM
metrical. Falsehood is unnatural ans
distorted. WheI, therefore, story is
altogether too improbable, too one-sided,
too vindictive or too much of anything
in particular to be reasonable we can
scarcely be led to believe it at all. And
so deliberate lying, generally speaking,
Ia failure and is not very much to be
feared. It over-reaches its object, betrays
itself, defeats it's own wickedness and
come to naught. The liar commits NOR
al suicide and henceforSh has no integ-
rity because the truth is not in him.
There is really no object in this world

thing that he says.
But there are other forms of falsehood
which are more subtle and more difficult
to define. One may act lie that win dc
more mischief than false report. One
may pretend to do thing when he means
