POLLUTED WATER
CAUSES DISEASE
City Health Authorities Investi-
gate Spread of Typhoid on
Sixteenth Avenue.

The city health department is in
vestigating the development of num-
Der of typhoid fever cases in Moline
and already the closing of private
well at 513 Sixteenth avenue has been
ordered The water taken from it was
found to be badly polluted in test
made by City Chemist Fritze. Water
was also tested from another well at
$50 Sixteenth street but was found to
be pure.
A number of cases have developed
lately in this vicinity and the strange
feature of the matter is that while the
family at $50 Sixteenth avenue, where
the water was adjudged pure, has been
quarantined with the disease, no cases
have developed at Sic Sixteenth ave
nue., where the water was condemned
In one house in this neighborhood
there have been four cases of the dis
ease recently and every effort is be-
ing made by the health authorities to
stay it's spread.

The Deere Harvester company of
East Moline has just received an Or
der for $50 binders to be delivered

dealers in the Dakotas and other north

quick delivery is made urgent owing
to the fact that the farmers of that
section of the country are about ready
to begin their annual harvesting.
This is one of the largest single or

. FOR new CHURCH
Trinity Lutheran Members and
Committee to Hold Joint
Session Next Tuesday.

The committee selected by the mem
bers of the Trinity Lutheran church
of this city to secure an appropriate
site for the new edifice soon to be
erected has practically decided upon
location at the northwest corner
of Fourteenth street and Fourteenth
avenue, 60x11O feet, lying Immediately
east of the fire station which is to
be abandoned as soon as the new sta
tion on the bluff is completed, and a
meeting of the church members in
conjunction with the committee is to
be held next Tuesday evening, to de-
fiinitely decide upon this site.
1t is a practically certain that the
members will approve the recommen-
dation of the committee, as the pro-
posed site is located at most advan-
tageous point and away from th>
noise of a busy thoroughfare. The
ground is not quite as large as the
members would like, and for that rea-
son an effort is to be made to pur-
chase the fire station site as an ad.
dition to the corner lot. This will
give location of sufficient size.

Local Man Plans to Erect Two Story
Store and Flat Building.

Camie Vern.Leiel of Moline, is tie
most recent addition to the ranks
of builders of business blocks in East
Moline, and he has engeged A. j.
Reeves, East Moline architect, to work
out plans for a two-story brick struc-
ture to be erected on Thirteenth
street a short distance south of Fiji
teenth avenue. The first floor will be
used for store purposes and the sec
ond for flats, both of which will be
rented. Mr.. Vermuelen is spurred to
such action for speculative purposes.
by the inevitable increase in property
values in the city to the east, it is
understood. He will begin construc-
ton as soon as the plans have been
finished and contractor has been Sc
cured.

Tearney of the Three Eye league and
notifying him that his career as a pro-

ended. as he had been suspended for
the remainder OF the season and black
listed by organized baseball.
Kahl was ordered oc the field in
last Saturdays game by Umpire
Knapp, and refused to go. Officer
Wigers, was asked to take Kahl OF
the field by the umpire, but he refus-
ed to do so. stating that Kahl had
violated no city ordinance. This caus-
