Charles G. Peck, the genial carrier

of a "blowaway" accident on Monday.
He was returning from his trip and
when near the NewtOWn Inn, blast

miles an hour, struck his frail bark,
lifted it off the wheels and deposited
it on the ground with Charles a pris-
oner in the canvas box. With his well
known ability of handling horses, it
followed as a natural sequence that
the horse didn't run. John o. Pitz-
schiller, who was passing down the

gallant Charles and rescued him
from his predicament. The only
result was slightly damaged mail

featuring establishments, street rail
way systems, etc, are strongly urg-
cd to see that all employees are sue
cessfulIs vaccinated.
-. That attempted vaccination is
not necessarily protective against
the disease and repeated vaccination

In Moline.

In Moline, where there is but one
case of smallpox, tine precautions are
observed with equal rigor. the only
difference of any consequence being
that there the families so far affect
ed have been allowed to be treated
by their own family physicians.
Mayor Vessel said that in case there
should be any considerable number
OF cases he would observe the pre-
cautions taken here and in Daven-
port in this respect. appointing spec
ial doctors TO look after the cases.
The matter OF sustaining the eX-
pense involved brought unanimity
OF opinion that the county is rcguir-
ed under the law in Illinois to stand
the cost of the care of the patients
i'm smallpox cases, with the exception
of the guards, which the city has to
bear. 1t was pointed out that Rock
Island has an ordinance providing
that the city shall stand the expense
i'm total. but il was held that this
does not remove the county's liza
bility.

Mutual confidence between the
health departments of the three
cities was greatly strengthened in
the conference held at the council
rooms i'm this city last evening on the
smallpox proposition. An account
of the preventive measures being TAX
en- by the three health departments
showed that there is very little diff
ference in the precautions being OBJ
served. The testimony of DIR. {. II.
Preston, chairman of the Davenport
board of health, went to show that
matters in that city are not nearly so
bad rs they have been painted.
In Davenport, the doctor said.
there are now but IL cases of the dis
ease under treatment, ana there have
only been about forty i'm all during
the fall and winter. The doctor him
self looks after all cases. regulating
the time of quarantine and fumigat-
ing the premises in cases of exposure
and after the quarantine has been
lifted. In some cases. where the fam
lilies were thought to be thoroughly
reliable, the guard has been done
away with. and in others. where
there was reason to believe that faith
would not be kept, sometimes two
guards were employed, one at the
front and the other at the rear doors.
1t was claimed that all proper pre-
cautions are being taken with refer
ence TO the treatment of exposed
persons.

The blue eye indicates love and SEN
timent. This eye belongs to the tenn
perate or colder regions and is asso-
ciated with temperate character. 1t
may glow with love, but it never
burns with that consuming flame which
marks the torrid black. 1t has
amiable dispositions and tastes that
are refined, is mentally active and
usually of versatile intellect. The
light eyed races have always attained
a higher degree of civilization than
the dark ones, and that which holds
true of nations will be found the same
in individuals.
The eyes which borrow their tint
from the summer sky dazzle and be-
wilder, whether flashing in scorn or
melting in sorrow. The large blue eve
is the type of purity and peace and
thrills the heart at single glance. 1t
has a meaning that you can never for
get and an expression which tells of
the trusting heart. 1t is the eye which
haunts the lovers dream and has per-
haps been praised by poets more than
any other color. Even the passionless
Wordsworth has told us:
'Those eyes, soft and capacious as a
cloudless sky, whose azure depths
their color emulates, must needs be
conversant with upward looks
