TESTS OF CITY WATER:
PROF. ALBEE RETURNS

Prof. George G. Albse returned this
morning from Beloit, Wis, where he
has been for the past week making a
meteorological test of city water.
The work has been done in private
laboratory belonging to the professor
of chemistry at Beloit college. When
seen by an ARGUS reporter this morn
ing Prof. Albee refused to discuss the
result of the tests. preferring to wait
until the next meeting of the city
council before making his report pub
lie. He asserted, however, that while
it would take about three weeks longer
to complete the analysis, results had
been obtained by which the ultimate
finding could be very accurately fore
casted. This much he has embodied
in a sealed report to be read before
the council at its next meeting.
The method pursued in making the
tests includes the cultivation of the
bacilli in each sample under favor
able conditions and the final separa-
ton and counting of the germs in q
given portion.
While, as bcfore stated. Prof. Albee
declines to discuss results. informa-
ton obtained from other sources gives
good ground for the statement made
yesterday that the filtered wafer has
proven freer from disease germs
than that taken from the river.

some Childish Humor.

Here are some specimens of childish
huInor from the Chicago News:
"Oh, mamma" exclaimed 4-year-old
Flossie as she observed the moon in its
second quarter. "come and look at the
moon. Half of it is pushed into the
sky. and the other half is sticking out. -
Tommy, aged ., had been busy whit
Ting and managed to raise n blister on
his hand which caused slight break
in the skin. Running to his mother, he
showed it to her and said. ''Mamma, 1
guess I'm beginning to wear out"
Did they sing any pretty songs at
Sunday school?' asked mother of her
little 4-year-old daughter upon her re-
turn home. 'Only one" replied the lit
tie miss. 1T was something about
Greenland's ice cream mountains"
Papa-WelI, Willie. have you been a
good boy today? Small Willie-Did
you ask mamma? 'Why should 1 ask

FAST TRAINS FOR 0.
Plans Matured for New Chicago.
Rock island Passenger
Service.
WILL BE EXTENDED TO DAVENPORT
More About the Deal for the D.,
r. |. e NJ. w. Tracks, De.
pots and Bridge.

Inauguration of fast passenger SER
vice on he Burlington between Rock
Island and Chicago is looked for in the
near future. In fact, it is said the
plans are fully matured, and putting
them into effect hinges on the closing
of negotiations for the use of the Dav-
export, Rock Island & Northwestern
bridge across the Mississippi here,
the purpose of the Burlington being
to start its trains from Davei pc It.
The plan is TO have two fast trains out
of here daily for Chicago, two also
leaving the latter city for this point
The Burlington route, by way of Men
dota, is II miles shorter than the Rock
Islands, and the introduction of the
new service is expected to open lively
competition between the two roads.
VIII Not Disturb Terminals.
The possibility of the Burlington
starting its passenger trains from
Davenport was limited in Friday's
ARGUS in the article announcing the
reported absorption of the D., L L. 81
N. w. by the Milwaukee and Bur
lington. However, such an arrange
ment is not contemplated with view
TO isturbing the company's terminal
facilities here, as it is understood all
trains will be made up here as at
present and will be backed across
the Crescent bridge to Davenport.
Believes a Deal IL On.
There isn't any doubt in my
mind" said a prominent railroad man
to an ARGUS reporter today, las tc
the authenticity of the story that the
Burlington and Milwaukee have q deal
on with the D., r. & N. w. hardly
believe an outright joint purchase has
been effected at the present time, but
what, in my opinion, has or is to be
done is the leasing by the two roads
of the new routes tri-city tracks and
depots and the new bridge-the Bur
lington going into the. arrangement
in order to compete for Davenport
business and the Milwaukee to secure
a valuablelink for its proposed Kansas
City short line, the last named com.
pany also intending to use the Tri.
City routes depots in this vicinity
May Compncate Matters
1t developed today that the North
Westerns new depot at East Moline is
on property of the East Moline I'm
provement company and 200 feet dis
tant from its right of way. three
blocks of the right of way also being
through land of the East Moline com
pany. In the event of the announced
sale of the road to the Burlington anC
Milwaukee complications may arise
from this condition of affairs that viii
interfere with the deal.
