The June catch crop often becomes
one OF the important crops on the
farm. There are almost always odd

which may bc used for this purpose
are field corn planted thlcRly for fod-

COMPLIMENTS FOR GEST
Retirement Of Rock Island Judge from
Appellate Court Deplored.

Commenting on the meeting of the
appellate court this week and the seat
ing of Judge F. ID. Ramsay in place of
Judge Gest. of this city, resigned. the
Springfield News says:
Judge Gest made a most enviable
record on this bench. His opinions
were written in a decidedly original
vein and he arrived at his conclusion
through a channel that carried the
reader through an everchanging scene.
Frequent bits of dry humOr and quaint
philosophy enlivened and embellished
his writing. 1t is unfortunate for the
legal literature of Illinois that Judge
Gest was not elevated to this or a
higher bench earlier in life

Reflect ON INTAKE PIPE
The Condition of Black Hawk Spring
and Of the Court House

Prof. Edward Barlow, director of

health department with the results of
chemical tests of four samples of water

The samples consisted of water TAX

near the source of supply, from an or
binary faucet in the city. from Black
Hawk spring on Eleventh street, and
from the well in the court house

Looks Like Defective Intake Pipe.
The water from the main channel of
the Mississippi was found exceptional
ly pure, while that drawn from the
faucet was not as good. indicating that
the supply had been subject to con-
terminating effects somewhere. This
discovery, while not serious, adds
strength TO the theory that the intake
pipe is in a more or less degree de-
fective.
No little surprise will be Occasioned
by the suspicion gained from the re-
port that there are impurities. temper

At a meeting of the park board held
last evening at the Office of the presi-
dent, Hon. William Jackson, several
conclusions were reached with refer
ence TO Longview park:
That there must be a water system
both for the plateau on the south and
the low land on the north.
That Twelfth avenue should be paw
ed where it borders on the park.
That the lake should be concluded
Immediately in order that it may be
used for skaters in the winter
That the Improvements of the park
should be completed within the next
two years.
Given Full Consideration.
Full consideration was given to all
matters concerning the improvement
of Longview park and in conference
with the board were Mayor McCaskrin,
Supt. Gaetger. the street and alley
committee and the water works COM
mittee. The discussion. however. was
principally with reference to the
things to be accomplished this fall and
next spring.
The water works committee advised
the laying of pipes of sufficient capa-
city deep in the ground and decided
that the city engineer should without
delay prepare plan for the system so
that the work can be done at the earli-
