STILL TALKING OVER
THAT "a" STUB TRACK.

IL. B. Schiller, president of the
Empire Coal company, and +. c..
Rice, superintendent of Illinois lines
for the Burlington road, are TO hold a
| conference today, it is said, at which
definite arrangement will be reach
ed in regard to the removal of the
Burlington's coal track on West Sew
enteenth street. track that the D.,
K. l. & n. w. says will have to be
taken up before it can go ahead with
it's planned new passenger station.
The stub has been maintained for the
mutual benefit of the Burlington and
the Empire Coal company, although,
of course, it is owned by the former.
The removal of the track is asked by
the city council in the interest of a
public Improvement. The Bur-
lington has practically acqui-
esced in the councils request,
but before surrendering the track
wants to provide another that will
serve the same purpose. The Empire
Coal company interests have been
dicke ring for lot on the south side of
First avenue between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets to be used as a coal
yard. If the company makes this
purchase there Will be hardly any
further obstacle to the immediate re-
moval of the Objectionable track. as
the council committee has about
agreed to permit the Burlington to
run q track across First avenue into
the proposed new coal yard.
las far as the removal of the OBJ
jectionable track is concerned" said
Division Agent Mack. of the Burling-
ton, today, that much has been de-
termined upon by our people in order
that no obstacle may stand in the
way of the new depot that is prom
ised the city by the Davenport, Rock
Island & Northwestern road. But we
are very naturally anxious to arrange,
as far as possible. to accommodate
our patrons in making any sacrifice
that we are willing to on our part,
and we feel certain that it is the dis
position Of the people that our friendly
spirit will be met by a similar dispo-
sition toward US all around"

OFFER IS WITHDRAWN
Davis Company Recalls PROPOSE
ton to Lay Water Mains
for City.
WORK TO BEDoNE BY MUNICIPALITY
Pavement of Twenty-second
Street to Limits to be
Pushed.

The Davis company at last night S
council meeting withdrew its PROPOSE
ton for the laying of water mains on
various streets and avenues and fur
nishing and erecting a pump for the
bluff service. The company agreed
to accept longtime payments, and
the proposition was viewed with ia
vor by the majority of the aldermen,
but some of the councilmen having
expressed themselves as preferring
competition on the work, the compa-
ny pulled down its offer. The coun-
ell voted that bids be invited on pipe.
which will be laid by the city, and on
furnishing a pump. This program
will be followed providing the city can
make arrange ments to borrow suffi-
Gent money to procure the necessary
material and machinery. II this Can
not be done satisfactorily there will
be no action on urgent applications
for water until next summer, at least.
The several bids for lot 9. block l,
IN Thompson G. Wells addition, be-
longing to the city, were rejected on
Recommendation of the finance COM
mittee, which considered the property
worth much more than had been
offered for it. The lot is on the
west side of Seventeenth street be-
tween Fourth and Fifth avenues, and
has been used in former years as
city pound.
Extension of Twenty-Eecond Paving.
An ordinance was adopted ordering
the improvement of Twenty-second
street between Tenth and Eighteenth
avenues. 1t is estimated the work
will cost $17, 62.48. Court proceed
ings will be instituted at an early
date. and. if possible, the contract
aware ed this fall. in order that the
improvement can be begun at the
first opportunity next summer. The
continuation of the paving to
the southern limits is especially de-
sired by the municipality, as it will
insure protection to the reservoir
pipes, laid along the thoroughfare, and
which are exposed at numb of
places.

Nor clocks don't strike, nor gonss don

And I'd have stiffness all around.
Not really stiffness. but just the trees
Low whispernigs. or the hum OF bees,
Or brooks faint babbling over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones.
Or maybe a cricket or katydid,
Or the songs Of birds in the hedges hid,
Or just some such sweet sounds as these
To fill tired heart with ease.
If weren't for sight and sound and smell,
I'd like a city pretty well.
But when it comes TO getting rest

And get out where the sky is blue,
And say, now, how does it seem to you?
