DAVENPORT DOTS

Mayor Phillips made a personal trip
to Farnam street and there found the
workmen in the employ of the Daven-
port Gas & Electric company prepar-
ing to build over the lot line into the
street, which structure when COM
pleted would serve as an addition to
the gas plant. Mayor Phillips ordered
the work stopped at once and his or
derS were obeyed. Recently the gas
company and the Red Jacket Pump
company applied to the city council
to be allowed to enlarge their present
plants 20 feet over the lot line on Far
nam street. The council thereupon
voted to lease the desired 20 feet to
the two companies for a period of 30
years. The council also directed Mayor
Phillips. City Attorney Thuenen and
the ordinance committee to draw up
the lease. So far this committee has
not met or transacted any such bust
ness. In the meantime the gas com.
pany had proceeded to go ahead with
the building.

Tuesday evening the city council
met for the purpose of hearing the fin
al report of Prof. Smith and ID. w.
Mead and to consider the report, and
it was anticipated that the filter plant
would be accepted, but such was not
the case and final action on acceptance
was referred to the committee of the
whole again to report at the next regu-
lar meeting. Two distinct objections
were showed up by the arguments of
several of the aldermen. Two points
in the said report were: The color OF
the water and the material used in
the battling walls constructed in the
settling basins. The straw color of the
water was the first point argued. Sew
eral aldermen held that being the con-
tract called for clear and sparkling
water they should demand such fulfill
ment of the contract. Representative
Dennison OF the Jewell Filter COM
pany was present and explained to
the city council that it was not posi-
BILE to make the water any clearer than
it is at present on account of the
supply furnished at this point by the
Mississippi river.

Methods of Teaching History.

TO teach history as it should be
taught in our public schools the meth
ed. The scholar must not be re-
quired to load his mind with dates;
the aim should be to give him vivid
impression of the doings, not only of
the chief actors, but of the people OF
the period treated. To tell a pupil
that Virgil died on a certain date and
that he was an excellent poet is not
calculated to arrest the attention, but
link his name with the literary and
other exploits Of the Romans of the
century before the beginning of our
era, and that object will be accom-
plished.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Another Whistler Story.

Clyde Fitch said the other day:
1T was in Paris that heard the
best Whistler story. He was in Paris
at the time Of the coronation of the
king OF England, and one evening, at
a reception at the Hotel Ritz a duch-
ess said to him:
Do you know King Edward, Mr..
Whistler?'
:" No, madame said the painter.
"She looked surprised.
Why, that is odd,' she murmured.
I met the king at dinner party last
year, and he said that he knew you.'
"'Oh,' said Whistler, that was only
his brag.'"
