R4st Butter In the World.

The butter of Denmark i; considered
superior TO that of all other countries.
It brings the highest price in fancy
markets and can be found all over the
world in shops where luXuries are
sold. In South America, South Africa,
in the East and West Indies, in India,
Egypt and in tropical countries gener-
ally it is used by epicures. who pay 81
4 pound for it in tins of one, two and
three pounds weight No other coun-
try has been able to produce butter
that will stand changes OF climate so
well.
Refrigerator ships are now found on
nearly all the big steamship routes,
and they can carry perishables as long
and as far rs necessary, but butter
shipped by the ordinary cargo steamer
usually melts aud remains in liquid
state as long as 1t is exposed to the
tropic heat. When it passes into the
temperate zone again. 1t hardens, and
the change usually spoils it for the
taste, entirely destroying the flavor and
leaving it like ordinary grease or oil.
The Danes, however. produce butter
which will endure this ordeal without
affecting its flavor or sweetness, and
they are the only people of whom this
may be said.-Chicago Herald.

BILLS is ON GROUND
Telephone Promoter Here With
an Application for a
Franchise.
OFFERS IT TO COUNCIL TONIGHT
Asks That Independent Ordi-
nances Be Carefully Com
pared.

Frank L. Bills, of the independent
telephone promoting firm of Bills &
Workman. is here to present an appli-
cation for a franchise at tonight's
meeting of the city council.
The ordinance of the Illinois indie
pendent Telephone company is still
before q special committee of tie
council, the committee having failed
at its last conference to reach a rec
ommendation and adjourned until to-
morrow night. So this viii put the
Illinois company's ordinance over for
another meeting. unless the commit
tee gets together before tonight and
agrees on report.
The Bills q Workman application,
under the rules OF the council, will
be read and referred, unless immedi-
ate consideration is agreed upon
This, however. is not likely. To- S
the council will have two telephone
ordinances to wrestle with at once.
Courts Comparison.
81 came here to call on MsvJ rs
Knox and Vessel, of Rock Island ami
Moline, and to see as many of the
Rock Island aldermen as L can b sfore
tonight's meeting of the council,
when l expect to have a franchise or
.dinance to offer" said Mr.. Bills to an
ARGUS reporter. 1T is possible
Bills Il Workman have lost ground
through not giving more attention to
the local situation. but l hope l am
mistaken in that respect.
What 1 want is for the aldermen
to carefully study the two ordin-
ances. There is no question as to
which is the more merItorieus. We
have a proposition that the city can
not very well ignore, one of the fea-
lures of which is the appropriation
annually of per cent of the or IS
receipts of our company to the MUM
ciPality as part remuneration for the
privileges we enjoy
Further, we will give free COM
munication with this country lines
and will soon be in position TO have
long distance connection with every
town of any importance in the state.
A long distance company, with which
we are identified, is now being form
ed with capitalization of half q mil
lion.
Oar chief reason in returning al
this time is to save the contracts we
have signed with over seven hundred
telephone users in Rock Island and
Moline. These people were listed
with the understanding that we should
begin building operation. here within

WORK ON INTAKE PIPE

in the repair of the intake pipe by the
diver, Frank Ram. The mud over
the pipe where the leak was discov-
cred at the south end will be removed
by the city aud force of men was
set at work today digging down to
tie leak. MIR. Ram is expected here
this evening and it is thought work
may be started tomorrow afternoon
or Wednesday morning.
Health Commissioner Joseph De
silva again wishes it urged upon the
people of Rock leland TO observe ev-
cry precaution in regard to the boil.
ing of drinking water. The old in
take pipe is now being used and will
be till the large pipe is repaired. The
health officers have every reason to
believe that the old pipe is defective
and that large portion of the water
now being pumped comes from the
slough.

RESULTS OF EXPLOSION
OF GAS NOT SERIOUS

It's now believed by the physicians
attending those who were injured in
the gas explosion on the Baker farm
near Edgington Friday night that no
permanent injuries will result from

victims all received were not deep,
and it is thought the eyesight of those
