So far as reported nobody is advo-
eating the Weile Mill creek solution
of the water question. 1t is generally
conceded that this plan would cost the
city not less than $350.000 and it would
mean bankruptcy. However, it is
doubtful whether the city could legal,

sary to carry out this scheme.

REPORT A MYSTERY
Relatives Can Learn No More of
Death of Joseph O'NeilI
At Pittsburg.
MESSAGE SENT BY HIS oHUM
But kilograms Forwarded to Him
Have Failed to- Bring
Answer.

Messages sent by William O'Neill,
AS Eighth street, to Pittsburg, asking
for details of the reported death of
his brother, Joseph O'Neill, n former
resident of this city, have failed thus
far to bring Il response, lending an air
of mystery to the case that has
prompted the brother here to ask n
police investigation.
The announcement of the death of
the young man at Pittsburg was re-
ceiyed in a message that was received
here last Saturday. 1t simply stated
that Joseph had died and was signed
by John Wagner. Wagner and O'Neill
had been chums for several years,
travelling about the different cities in
the east together.
Two dispatches have been sent to
Wagner. but he has not replied. 1t is
assumed he has received them, or
they would have been returned to the
that he would immediately commune
cate with the Pittsburg police and
ask them to look into the matter.
Address Unknown.
Wagner gave no address on his
message, neither do relatives here
know the number at which O'Neill
lived. The last letter they had from
him. which was from another city. he
wrote that he was in the best of
health. His last visit to Rock Island
was three years ago. when he came
