MOLINE Mention.

Removing Tracks.-The Mississippi
Valley Traction company has a large
job on hand in connection with the
Improvement of Fourth avenue from
Twenty-third to Thirty-fourth streets.
1t will be necessary to have the car
line in the center of the street, which
will necessitate removal of the greater
portion of the track between these
points. A large force of men was put
to work on the job yesterday morning,
as it is necessary to have the track
moved before paving contractors can
finish their work.
Law Corner Stone.-Union Congrega-
tional church people, or Ridgeview,
have planned a program for the laying
of the corner stone of their new church
building which will take place next
Monday evening.
Nut Came Off Axle.-What might
have proved a serious accident was
just averted yesterday when a nut
came off the rear axle of the delivery
wagon from Ranges bakery, 2100 Fifth
avenue. AS the wagon was passing
along Fifth avenue just west of Fif-
teenth street one of the rear wheels
left the wagon and went rolling for
ward toward the horses. They started
to run, but the driver managed to get
them under control before any serious
damage was done.
Many Want PIace.-Since the fact
of Superintendent Gerard T. Smith of
the Moline schools to assume SIM
liar position in the Peoria schools has
been widely published the members of
the local board of education have been
besieged with applications from school
men in all parts of the country. A
number of applications ranging some
where between 80 and so have been
sent in, and the Peoria board reached
its decision only last Saturday night.
Swallowed Tongue.-William Stack,
a molder from New Castle, Pa. nearly
died in a queer manner at the police
station. when he swallowed his tongue.
He was arrested during the night short
ly after II on a complaint made by
people living in the vicinity of First
avenue and Seventeenth street. He
was in a box car and was bowling and
moaning, serving to keep the people
awake. The man was placed in a cell,
and about o'clock Night Sergeant De
Jaeger, hearing a strange sound issu-
ing from the cell, investigated and
found the man nearly dead. He was
blue in the face and it was feared that
he would die. a physician was sum
moned and soon rendered relief to the
dying man. He was taken in charge
by the local order of the molders'
union and taken TO the hospital

SURGERY OF THE EYE.
Marvellous Advance Made In Opera
tions For Cataract.

Only n few years ago, before the
days of antiseptic surgery, more than
80 per cent of all operations performed
for cataract of the eye were unsuccess-
ful, resulting in permanent and hope
less blindness for the patient. This
was because neither the instruments
used nor the surgeons hands We're
sterilized and microbes We're thus en-
aDled to invade the wound, bringing
suppuratiye infection
At the present time only about two
operations of this kind out of every hun-
dred fail, and the occurrence of infec
ton in any such, case would condemn
the physician as a bungler Cataract

posed, film that forms over the eye,
but merely an opacity OF the crystal

little round hole called the pupil. This
necessarily implies observation of vi

the mischief is TO remove the lens
bodily.
This is accomplished by thrustinG-

A BIG CONCRETE CHIMNEY
Towering Shaft With Walls of She'll
like Construction.

In Butte, Mont, there stands
mighty chimney the top Of which is
800 feet above the ground.
When its erection was planned the
first idea was TO build it of brick. That
would have required thickness of
twelve or fifteen feet of masonry at it's
base. But a construction engineer from
Chicago was called into consultation.
He proposed that the huge chimney be
built of concrete, and, with some mis-
givings, the plan was adopted. He pre-
pared a foundation six feet deep, II
hy IL, of concrete, with a number of
steel reinforcing rods. Beginlsng at
the ground level, he carried two thin
concrete shells upward for 100 feet.
The outer one is only nine inches in
thickness, while. separated by four
inches of space from this, is an inner
shell five inches thick. At height of
100 feet these two unite into q single
seven inch shell of concrete, which ex-
tends skyward until the vast height of
$50 feet is reached.
This chimney, many feet higher than
our modern city skyscrapers, is there
fore composed of but fourteen inches
of concrete at the base and half
that amount for the upper $50 feet. 1t
is not of plain concrete, but is re-en-
forced both horizontally and vertically
with number of small steel rods,
wlHch We're held in place until the con-
crete had been deposited around them,
making REINFORCED concrete body su-
perior IN every way to both steel and
brick masonry. There are in the Unit
ed States scores of these wonderful
chimneys
