DEPOT AWAY.
Council Passes Sentence on
Terminal Company's
Structure.
NOT ACCORDING TO AGREEMENT.

Proposals Asked of Parties Having Sites
waterworks Department to Lay in a
Stock of Meters-AIleys In an Unclean
Condition.
Citizens generally will approve the
sentiment of the following resolution
offered at last evenings meeting of
the city council by Aid. H. L Vince
Ian. and unanimously adopted: Re
solved, That the owners of the So
called depot at the north end of West
Seventeenth street be notified to re-
move the same, as it does not COM
ply with the agreement with the COM
mittee. The ARGUS has condemned
the structure from the day it began
to take form, as it IS not in keeping
with the size CT Rock Island, and GER
tainly is not such building as
company that has been granted valu-
able privileges that have been given
to the TerminIl company should
construct. The council has taken the
proper move
1t has been rumored that those
who are responsible for the disgrace
full structure will try to save it on the
pretense that it is a warehouse and n It
a depot. This should make no differ
ence, as the building is. regardless of
what it may be styled, disgrace in
appearance to the surroundings which
has cost the city $50, 900 TO insure. The
ARGUS does not believe any new rail-
road coming in here will desire it to
remain as an evidence of it's ideas of
the requirements of the city of Rock
Island or as representative of the
spirit and tendency of the corpora
ton that acquired it. 1t is an eye
sore and stould be removed.
The waterworks committee was au-
thorized to purchase Is meters, the
same to be used on premises where,
in the opinion of the committee, the
city is not receiving sufficient reve-
nue. for the amount of water used.
Aid. Lawhead stated an investigation
showed in one instance $27 per year
was paid, where by rights the city
should have received $50.

Lawyer j. X Darling has a choice as
sOrtment of anecdotes that he heartily en-.
joys drawing from for the amusement OF
his companions as occasion brings them
to mind. He fished up one the other day
that our readers may appreciate. Years
ago, while studying law at Bradford, be
attended meetings 81 " hat was known as
the Antiquarian society, one Of those old
time debating schools. IL was their Gus
tom to have a paper read on some theme
or oth her, after which all hands fell 10 and
discussed the subject. At one meeting, a
member prepared a paper on the evils OF
the tobacco habit. He had made a careful
canvass and was able to state that more
money was spent in Bradford for tobacco
than for flour or schooling There we're
three OF four clergymen present who fol-
lowed with most severe criticisms OF the
use OF tobacco, AN especial point with them
being that 10 shortened mems lives. Now
it happened that a certain old doctor was
on he stage at the time and, following his
usual custom, was busily engaged In work
ing a good-sized tobacco quid. As the dis
cussi1n proceeded, he chewed harder and
harder and il was easy To see that be was
vigorous d.ssenter from the general
trend OF thought Finally, some one
called for his opinion. Still working bis
duid, be arose and said, 81 will agree that
the tobacco habit is a costly aud filthy one
and / would not advise any young man TO
contract it, but this talk about tobacco
shortening mems lives is humbug. We
all know OF many men who have lived TO
ripe old age, like myself, who have used
il from childhOod.n One OF the clergy
men, thinking to phase the old man,
Jumped up and said, 81 would like to ask
the doctor II he has not also known a
great many men to live to old age who did
not use tobacco The Doctor chewed
very fast for a minute and then answered,
ayes, recollect one, especially, Squire
Brown OF Newbury. He lived TO be be.
tween 80 and 100 years old and never
touched tobacco in his life, but he did
drink vast quantities OF rum ~ The audi
ence shouted and the Doctor was not
again interrupted.
