DIES AT WATERFOWL
b. l.. Tinkham of Cameron Success
full After Two Attempts At

Monmouth, III, Feb. 14.-Friends in
the city will be sorry to learn Of the
death OF B. L. Tinkham of Cameron
which occurred Saturday evening a.
the WATERFOWL hospital Mr.. Tinkham
had been in poor mental condition for

tc end his own life by cutting his
wrists.
II is learned that Mr.. Tinkham's
death was due to a fall which he re-
ceived at the hospital. II is alleged
that he jumped from a window az
the hospital and fell TO the pavement,
sustaining injuries which contributed
to his death. The remains will be
brought to Galesburg for burial. The
funeral was held today.

FILTER PLANT HERE
IS PRONOUNCED BEST
E. L. Loomis. superintendent at Val.
paradise, Ind, Inspects Local
Improvement.

e. L. Loomis. superintendent of
the water plant at Valparaiso. Ind.
was in Rock Island yesterday to in
spect the new altering system that
has been installed In Reservoir park.
The Pittsburg Filter Manufacturing
company, which has installed the
Rock Island system, built the plant
at Valparaiso" Mr.. Loomis said. 1t
has been in operation successfully
four years. There are improvements
in the Rock Island plant that we
did not get My observations here
and Judging by the results that we
have got in my home city convinces
me that Rock Island has one of the
most perfect and efficient filtering
arrangements procurable. 1 imag-
inc that human nature is no differ
ent here than it is in my home city.
1t is to be expected that iron or alum
is to be employed in the publication
of water In Valparaiso we heard
all sorts Of criticisms on this account.
In fact three weeks before these sub
stances were introduced in the
treatment Of the water there hun
dreds of our best people were call
ing on the telephone and asking each
other if they hadn't tasted the nasty
alum. When the sulphate of alumina
finally was introduced the change
was not noticed. Your plant in Rock
Island is first class. There is no
doubt about that. AS to its giving
the best results. that will depend
wholly upon its operation. I would
recommend also that laboratory be
provided for the daily analysis of
the water. The cost would be COM
paratively small, and the tests could
be made by your chief engineer, as
is done at Valparaiso"
1t is expected that the new filters
will be placed in operation tomor-
row
