ONLY ONE REAL CASE
OF TYPHOID IN CITY

Only eight of the GA cases of typhoid
fever which developed in Moline dur
ing the recent epidemic have not been
reported as closed by the attending
physicians. Of the eight, seven are
virtually over, but the final report has
not been made. Moline has only one
real case of typhoid today. Statement
to that effect is made by DR.. H. S. Ben
nett, city physician. Expectation is
that within the next 10 days the city
will be entirely free of the epidemic,
which has lasted since the early win
ter.
1t is the opinion Of local physicians
that Moline was fortunate in escaping
with Ga cases. Prompt work in trac-
ing down the cause by authorities is
attributed as reason for keeping the
number at the lowest possible miri-
mum. AS soon as the epidemic be-
came serious the city physician and
City Chemist Fritze commenced an in
vestigation which resulted in the find
ing Of causes of the epidemic These
were removed and no new cases de-

Plans for Installation Of Modern Sys-
TEN Are Outlined at Meeting Of
Board Last Evening.
TO TAKE DEFINITE ACTION SOON
Officials VIII Arrive at Decision In Re-
gard to Cutting Through of Ninth
Street Within Two Weeks.

Installation of a modern system Of
fire alarms in the village Of Silvis
probably will be the next project be-
fore trustees of that village. Plans
were outlined at the meeting of the
board last evening and definite action
is expected to be taken soon.
The new system, if it Is installed,
would provide for placing fire boxes
throughout the city with the enuncia-
tor in the pumping station. This would
automatically blow the whistle at the
shops when the alarm is sounded and
would thus inform the people Instant
ly. There has been a demand for a
direct alarm at Silvis, with no danger
of the East Moline calls cutting into
it, as hitherto, for some time.
A firm already has been communi-
Gated with in regard to the matter
and expectation is that the chairman
of the committee will be ready to
make a report of some kind at the
next meeting.
Would Open Ninth Street.
Action in regard to cutting Ninth

known to have closed the doors of
their saloons are Chris Larson at 313

chased a saloon in Rock Island, and
consequently he decided to suspend

Don't Ask Que as.
The law says that all liquors must
be disposed of at the time of closing,
and in order to comply a number of
saloons are conducting bargain sales
in bottled goods. Considerable of the
wet goods are being sold at little
better than cost, and the stock is
heaped up on the bars for display in
one or two places.
A number of saloonkeepers, being
deluged with questions as to what they
intend doing after they are forced to
close their places, have had signs
placed on the back bars, which reit-
crate in this fashion:
Don't ask US what we intend doing
after May 4. The question is what are
you going to do?"
