ARE OF one Mind
Physicians and Druggists of
County Favor a Common
Organization.
LATTER HOSTS AT A FEAST
Speakers Show Sentiments and 1t Is
Up to Two Associations to Take
Necessary Steps.

The first steps toward the forming
|of a archaeological society were TAX
en- at the get together" banquet given
by the Rock Island County Druggists
association to members of the Rock
Island County Medical society at the
Young & McCombs grill room last ev-
ening. There were 65 banqueters, and
the affair is pronounced an unquali
fled success in every way.
1t was the first time the druggists
and medical practitioners of the coun-
'ty have met together and while no
formal action was taken, the sentiment
of those present, as expressed by the
speakers, leaves little doubt that a
permanent joint organization will be
formed and that meetings will be regu-
larry held in the future. AS it now
stands, ii is up to the two county So
cieties to take definite steps toward
this end
The objects of such a joint organ
ization, which is similar TO those in
the larger cities, deal largely, it is
stated, with the relations between the
physicians and druggists. They are
mainly educational, to bring about a
better understanding of the art of pre-
pairing drugs and their properties and
effects. II is also stated that such an
organization would assist in putting
into effect economies in the handling
of drugs which will eventually result
to the benefit of the public.
Some of the Speakers.
The speakers last evening were DR..
George P. Mills of Evanston and T.
H. Potts of Chicago, DR.. w. H. Lude-
wig and A. j. Riess of this city, and
DR. T. J. Lamping of Moline Many
others were heard in informal talks.
NJ. w. Battles, Jr, of Moline acted as
POSTMASTER. The general trend in all
cases was in favor of close relations
between physicians and druggists.

The Predictions of Col. Goetha S.

New Orleans States.
Col. George w. Cocktails, chairman
and chief engineer of the Panama
Canal commission. delivered an ad-
dress in Nashville a few nights z
in which he made some interesting
statements regarding the progress of
the great work on the isthmus. He
expressed the opinion that the water
way would be completed by January
I, 1915, provided no epidemic of dis
ease occurred TO paralyZe the efforts
of those who are directing the work,
and the cost would be within the re
vised estimate of $375.000, 900. Presi-
dent Taft wants the work finished by
January |, 1913, and at the present
rate of progress Col. Goethals Believes
it could be done, but thinks it is bet
ter to adhere to the date he has fixed,
because there is an immense amount
of blasting to be done and delays are
caused by the frequent heavy rains
and the great landslides they produce.
The record shows that excavation
is progressing at a rate that is most
satisfactory to the engineers. During
the month of September, according to
the latest published reports, the
total excavation footed up 2,S36,3S5
cubic yards as against 2,775,17S cubic
yards for the month of August. 1t
must be admitted that this is a very
encouraging showing and gives prom
Use of the canal being completed in the
time desired by President Taft.
But Col. GOethals knows the condi-
tons he has to contend with and has
taken the safer side in allowing him
self a margin of two more years. 1t
is evident that he is disturbed more
by the fear of an epidemic of disease
than he is by the difficulty of any
engineering problem that may be de-
veloped, because he is aware that a
serious outbreak of disease would de-
stroy the entire organization which
has been so laboriously built up to its
present high standard of efficiency. 1t
is safe to assume that he knows such
an ~aforeseen calamity would disrupt
the organization and a year or more
would be required to reconstruct it.

A Dump NuiSan

Much complaint is heard concern
ing the disgraceful condition of
affairs In connection with the city
dumping ground between the leila
mine and Scottsville. 1t is the easiest
thing in the world for public dump
intended of course. for sanitary
purposes and cleanliness, to degeDer-
ate into a nuisance, and become
menace to the health of the COM
munity. All that is necessary is to
neglect to look after it, and it will
most certainly reach this point in
short order The dump has reached
this condition, and is getting worse
every day. Steve terrari was in
from near Butte this week, prepared
to swear out complaint against the
city authorities for maintaining a
nuisance or to take such other action
as may be necessary to abate 1T. The
rubbish that is taken from the city
is dumped there indiscriminately
Much of it consists of material that
might be burned. but it is left I'M
attended to, paper blowing to the
four winds, and disgraceful from
every view point. Not only this, but
persons taking rubbish supposed to
go to the dump, often discharge their
load before reaching the proper
place, and in this way the public
highway is strewed with offensive and
unsightly material. All this exists
for the lack of little care. And it
VIII grow worse right along unless
something is done at once to safe
guard the ruElic welfare. A city has
no more right to oountenGnce or
maintain nuisance than All in
dividual. 1t was the same with the
county dump years ago. 1t became
such an eyesore that 1t bad to be
abolished.

South Eureka
Changing House Burned,

For the second time inside of two
months the changing house of the
South Eureka Mine went up in smoke
at late hour last night. Since the
last fire about six weeks ago, an old
building has been temporarily used
by the men to change and dry their
clothes in. The structure was used
for this purpose as make-shift,
until "a more substantial building
could be erected. About midnight
yesterday, this caught fire in some
way unknown. II was entirely de-
stroyed, with most of its contents
in men s clothing and mining sup
plies, which included a quantity OF
oil, fuse. etc. The amount of less
we have not learned.

MINING NOTES.

Kennedy-An accident happened at
this miCe on Friday evening last
which has brought underground
work, as far as the extraction of ore
is concerned, to a complete standstill
ever since. 1t was about half-past
seven O'Clock, and load of timbers
was being lowered in the main shaft.
Fortunately no one was on the skip.
How the mishap occurred is there
fore left in great measure to con-
lecture. 1t is supposed that the skip
got off the runners or track. Going
at the lightning speed usual in this
deep shaft, things were torn up in
terrible shape. There was nothing to
indicate to the engineer on top that
anything was amiss. From 70 to 100
feet above the 1900 level was wrecked.
1t was thought it would take fully
week to get things in working order
again. All the miners have been laid
OFF temporarily, except force OF Il
men engaged In repairing the damage.
And the taking out of water has also
been stopped. This, however, Is
small matter, as when the shaft is
again opened the water can be hoisted
out in the course of few hours.
The mill has been kept going, as
there was large quantity of ore in
the bins when this misfortune
occurred. The number of men laid
off is in the neighborhood of 300.
A full crew of men were on the
underground works at the time. Also
sinking was in progIe ss below the
5000 level. AS soon as possible in
structIons we're sent to all the men
to make their way out to the surface.
This meant formidable climb up the
manWays IN the various Slopes, a
distance of 800 feet, and a tramp
through the levels to the north shaft,
from which they were hoisted to the
surface. Not man was injured in
any way. The exit of the employees
in this way consumed between one
and two hours, as they kept together
as much as possible, to render assis-
lance to each other whenever neoes-
sary.
The ore IN the bins it was expected,
would be all crushed some time to-
day, and the mill wnuld come to a
standstill. 1t is thought that the
damage Will bo repaired so that the
men can resume work next Monday.
Up to yesterday the descending
skip was still buried in the mass Of
detris in the shaft, the repairing
crew not having reached the point
where it was covered up.

constitute a felony. The charge how
ever, was reduced to 81 cents as a
petty larceny case, to which the boy
pleaded guilty, and was sent to the
