fall, and Rankin, the latter of whom offers
minority report, After the report was
read Mr. Wyman arose and stated that
while he had signed the report. he did not
agree with it, and therefore he requested
that his name miget be stricken therefrom.
Mr. Rankin made minority report, in
which he says that he believes the proper
ty sold ROsenfeld might have been sold
for more money. He thinks that the fact
that the property was sold without any in
voice is a very damaging one, and he
thinks the entire transaction was fraud
on the State, He says the clothing for
which s. was paid per suit could have
been bought for less than 81 per suit. He
thinks the law has been violated because
! the clothing, food, etc, has not been pur-
chased by contract but in open market
He says the money Of the State has been
grossly and unwarrantably misapplied

Mr.. Reid has used his position to advance

to the effect that the doorkeeper furnish a
place in the house to exhibit certain sam
pies of clothing which he had brought
from the prison. Adopted In accord
ance with the resolution, samples of cloth
ing were placed on exhibition, going to
show that what the State paid IS for
could be bought for So etc, etc.

were ordered printed. and there the mat

any considerable sums of money in their

The c., r / Il ?. folks are surveying
for location in this city on which to erect
another round house, that company hav-
ing determined to forsake their round
house in Rock Island. We are beginning
to feel sorry for the misfortunes Of our
neighbOr city ere many years, it will be
reduced to mere country town. From
being the main terminus of the C. r. l.

pany will have removed their shops, as
they have their main offices, 10 Davenport.

the price Of the hand needed by the rail

done. This side is the natural location fo
all the business of the road, and the larg
amount Of vacant ground in the vicinity o
the property named, which could be pur
chased at low prices, by people who wis
