Something i.boot the Workings of the C amewell Alarm. AVUUtotliKrKl.e Bobbb at Fee. imt Tif-The er , Uiffereat Bxe aa Their ! paraseBt. Very few p rhaps. of the many people who view vith gratification the Rreat change that beinR wrought in the man agement of a fire in Rock Island, and who admire the promptness, ard appear ance of the pt id department in getting out. realize that the run to the fire is not half as impor ant as the time consumed in getting out and under way. Every second after the alarm ia received is of the utmost ImDortance in an enginehouse, and to avoid this hundreds of different devices have been patented to save a moment's tim or the firemen an extra step. The Gimewell system, which is the one to be used in Rock Island, is equipped with all the latest devices for the saving of time and labor, and when in complete operation will be second to none in the couutry. The Gamewell company is now almost ready to turn the system o er to the city, but there are a ime details vet to be arranged before it will be put in operation, as the company does not wieL to have any trouble with it after it is once in working order, but it is now tl oogbt that the public will have the bent fit of the system late next week. The system includes three indica tars to register the location of the box from which tae alarm is turned in. One of these has teen placed in the teulral engine house, one in the police station and the other ia the waterworks, and af ter the introc uction of the new system the waterwotks will blow the number of the box from which the alarm is received so that the public generally will have a belter knowledge of the exact location of the fire. For instance, if the alarm came from box S3, the waterworks would indicate it by blowing three short blasts with a pause and then two blasts, which would indicate box 33 5 The instant the hook is pulled at an alarm box it registers the number of the box in an indicator, striking the gong in the central house, and automatically opening the doors to the horse stalls An Argcs reporter, who visited the Central engine bouse at noon today, was surprised ax d gratified at the headway that is being mde in the way of training the horses for prompt action and the manner ia which every minute de'.ail about the hoose is looked after. A few moments before.12 o'clock two firemen stationed themselves in front of each truck. At a given signal from Chief Ramskill, t ie gong sounded, the doors to the horses stalls fl :w open and both team3 ran out of their stalls under the harness in a manner that r. fleets great credit on those who have them in charge, aDd would do credit to much older de partments. The collars were snapped about the necks and they were kept there while two otjerfiremen put the feed into their boxes, i.fier which they were un hitched and backed into their stalls, as they are not allowed to turn around, nor do tbey even seem to wish to, as they back in as willingly as if tbey had always been used to it. They are never fed in anyway except this, it being done in order to make tbem keep it constantly in mind, and waen they are fed in this man ner it is an inducement for them to come out in a hurry. The firemen are nearly all uniformed now. Chief liamskill has anew white hel met and coat which are very flashy. With a few weeks' practice with the new system, r,o citizen of Rock Island will need to ene&t back in an alley in shame when he hears a fire alarm for fear some stranger in town will guy him about the fire departmi nt.

I. & P. ticket offije last night that practically demonstrated to him the value of that true and trite saying that "its never safe to monkey with the band wagon unless you can play a horn. Hav ing business at the C, R. I. & P. depot lite last niht he sauntered into the ticket office where he espied an innocent looking gas stove. The atmosphere being some what frigid and the night ticket agent being busy, he of the money vaults con cluded it would be ebout the proper caper to start the fire, and in come wsy got the idea in bis bead that it worked on the principle of a nickel in the slot machine, so lighting a match be dropped it into the insignificant looking little thing and im mediately there was a sound as if a dozen "infernal machines" had been touched off at once, and the air was filled with flying sheet iron, ising glass and bank ca-hiers, and when quiet was restored a few min utes after, and those about the depot bad been convinced that there bad been no dynamite explosion, it was found that no one was seriously injured though the deft fingered cashier is today counting out money left handed. Statra AUorary &Uurceoaa Ketara. Slate's Attorney M. M. Sturgeon, re turned home last evening, looking much improved in health. When seen by an Argus reporter this morning, Mr. Sturgeon expressed himself as feeling like a new mirj. "What have you to say regardin the success of the Ketlj cure at Dwight?" inquired the scribe. "All I have to say," he replied "is that Dr. Eetly dees everything 'hst he prom isee, and if a man goes there with the intention of ridding himself of the habit, ha can certainly do so, but If he sga n deliberately puts his fingers into the fire. hs cannot blame Dr. K.-ely if he ii burned." On being questioned further by the re porter, Mr. Sturgeon said thbt he had given everything of interest to the public in bis letters, and did nut care for further publicity in that connection Mr.luol Ka 6 The damages on the burned school building No. 6 have been satitactorily ad justed byArljutter Liaehan, represent ing all the companies against whom the board of education held policies, aggega ting $10,000.

Tliti coulcu is expected at an early mee'icg to let the contract for the paving of Thitd avenue from Twenty-fourth to Ninth street, of Nine teenth from F.rst to Third, and of Com mercial alley from second to Third ave nues.

One of the property holders who would be most affected by the proposed im provement of East and West Seventeenth street, of Sixteenth and of Fmeentn First to Third avenue 3, urged representative of The A rods the other day, that a continual agitation cf the im provements ou'lined be maintained. The paving of those 6treets is the only thing necessary now to practically complete the business portion, and all are impor tant thoroughfares of travel. E ist. and West Seventeenth ought really to have been included in the Maiket square con tract. Their present appearance gives a ragged edge to popular improvement, and it should be taken off, while Fifteenth and S xtenth the latter street running past the goyernment building site should also be paved early in the spring. The council ought to order the ord nances drawn and the necessary prelim inaries in court attended to soon, so that the contract may be let and the work en tered Upon as soon as the weather and other conditions will permit in the spring. rom upon a 18 Founds oi Blood Is about the quantity nature allows to an adult person.
