Well Water Unfit for Use.
Aside from the action on the ap-
pointment by the mayor there were few
important matters considered, and the
session was brief one. The mayor
read report of DR.. J. F. Myers, health
commissioner, in relation to the condi-
ton of the wells on property on First
street, south of Fifth avenue for two
blocks. The health commissioner re-
ported that the water is unfit for usa,
and that had it been possible to Sc
cure city water, he should have con-
demned all wells, while as it was he
did not condemn one. Typhoid fever
has existed in this territory since Octo-
Der, and there have been II cases, and
one death resulting. The condition of
the water supply was determined by
the analysis of the chemists at the
state water survey at Urbana.
The extension of the water mains in
these two blocks was recommended by
DR.. Myers, and the council instructed
the superintendent of the waterworks
and the waterworks committee to lay
the necessary pipe.

the place left vacant by the departure
of Colonel Baker, assigned to San An

tour of duty in the Philippines. He
takes the place of senior officer rank

nothing to do with possible future
changes. However, his coming effect
ually puts an end to a report that an
other officer at Rock Island was to be
promoted to command in the event of

The drop of the temperature the last
few days has resulted in an increase of
several inches in the thickness of the
ice both on Rock river and the Sylvan
channel. The ice is now over eight
inches thick, and the ice dealers are
preparing to begin cutting again to-
morrow. The Union Ice & Coal com
pany will put a crew of men to work
on Rock river, and when the field has
been cut there, will start filling the

about that Major Babbitt had come to
eventually succeed to command of the
local post
Colonel Blunt. when interviewed on
the subject today by The Argus, stated
he had no official knowledge of any
coming change, and that if one does take
place. it will probably not be till August
AT that time Colonel Phipps, who is
now. in command at Springfield. will
reach the age limit and will be retired
according to law. This will probably
necessitate a shifting of commandments
at several places. Colonel Blunt
it is understood, being one of
the senior officers of the
corps, is one of those in line for the
Springfield place, and the fact that he
has obtained experience here that
would be valuable to him as command
ant of the larger arsenal would seem
to place him in position for preferment.

been in charge at Rock Island for n
period of ten and One-half years. an
