will require until Monday, working
night and day. and after then the new
filter plant will be in operation. Engi-
neer L. ID. Wheelock says that all ar
engagements are made for the change
to be made this week. The pumping
will be stopped after Friday and a
force of men will be rushed into work
to get the connections of the new
pump and filter basins completed as Il
part of the city water main system
He thinks that this will require sever
al days and that it will probably not
be before Monday that the usual wa
ter supply will be available through
out the city. Three of the factories
which have their pumps connected
with the city mains will pump water
into them during the idleness of the
big pumping engine. These factories
are Deere d Co., and Dimock, Gould &
CO.. and Moline Wagon company. but
it is a question in how far they can
serve the people of the city. Rock ISL
and and Moline water mains are also
connected at the division line. and it
is possible our neighbor city will help
us keep the pipes full.
East Moline next summer will he
come the center of the greatest build

the season will permit, and the prob
ability is that the number of new
houses will reach 800 before the snow
of another winter begins to fly. Con
tracts have already been let for the
erection of los residences in the sub
urb in anticipation of the incoming Of
the New Shops workmen. The ma
jOrity of these will be built in the
New Shops addition northeast of the
Union Malleable plant and north of
the Burlington tracks. 1t is noticea-
BILE that little Of the work will be done

but the great bulk will be on money
furnished by individuals and by men
who propose to occupy the houses.

Needle in Body Quarter of Century.

That a needle can be carried in
 ones body for twenty-five years, during this time working its way from place to place and cause no great pain, seems strange, but such was the experience of George Flip pin, a citizen of Little Rock. While doing some sewing one day the mother of Flippin, who was then 13 years of age, stuck her needle in a lounge and went into another room to get some thread. Before her return young Fippin came in from school and lay down on the lounge. He felt a slight pain in the side. but paid no attention to it, thinking he had merely received a scratch. Mrs. Flippin did not find the needle, and she supposed it had gotten lost. Two years later young Flippin felt a pain in his skin-o over the stomach, as if some thing was sticking him, and. taking off his clothes, he found hard sub stance about an inch and half long, and which seemed to be a needle or pin there. 1tdid not come near the surface, and could be felt for q year. Then it disappeared and he forgot all about it until few nights ago. Mr. Fiippin was undressing for bed, and, in pulling off his mdershirt. felt it catch against something about the left nipple. He stepped to the light and. to his surprise, saw something shining, and, looking more closely, saw it Eas the head of a needle. It was the work of hut moment to catch the needle and pull it out No blood flowed from the wound, as the needle lay lcngthwise. just under the skin, with the point toward the neck. He suffered no ill effects from tie experience.
