The Use of Words,

Alderman Butler and those who voted
with him don't seem to understand the use
of words, or else are reckless of their use.
His resolution speaks of the assumed re-
moval," of Mr.. Boynton, as though no re-
poval had been made. And then says
the assumed removal was aoithom author
ity," thereby implying that Mayor Daven-
port had no authority for his act The law
says:
"The Mayor shall hare poo0er to remoUe
any officer so appointed, acheneUer, an has
opinion, the interests Of the city require
such renaoval; he shall report such removal,
Nth his reasons therefor, to the council,
etc., etc.
1t will thus be seen that Aid. Butler
and those who acted with him have step.
ped outside of their duty and assumed tc
tell the Mayor that he not only did not
make a removal, but that he had no au
thority to make it. This was piece of i'm
pertinence and as insulting as language
could we'll be made If they
did it ignorantly they need to be posted
if purposely it was an insult for which they
should be ashamed and make reparation
They had right to disapprove the remov
al; they had no right to be- insulting il
what they did

Suicide,

On Saturday night as the steamer
Muskegon was proceeding from Chicago
to Grand Haven,a passenger named Daniel
K. Albright, of Fort Madison. Iowa, after
having poisoned and subsequently shot
himself, threw himself overheard. In his
state room was found paper containing
the following:
ITO any officer of the boat: My name is
Daniel K, Albright, from Fort Madison,
Iowa. Impecunious circumstances, financial
embarrassment and inability to obtain em.
plOyment have led to this result. / am a

inclose in an Envelope and send to my wife,
Mrs. d. K. Albright, of Fort Madison,
Iowa. 1t is not necessary to send the linen
buster left in my state room, No. 28."
1t is supposed that the unfortunate man
went aft on the main deck, got on the rail
with one arm around stanchion, and fired
the fatal shot, when the body felloverboard
in the lake. His hat was found on the
deck.

July 9th
The installation ceremonies of Manufac-
turers Lodge No 485 |. o. o. F. last even
ing, were very interesting and a number of
invited friends of members we're present
The exercises were interspersed with
choice singing, after which social chat
among the members and their families. It
was very enjoyable affair for all con-
cerned.
A tramp was the involuntary recipient
of the city hospitality last night. Officer
Olsen found him quietly stored away in a
shed at Dimock, Gould & Co.'S. mill. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that he was re-
leased this morning as usual in all such
cases. Our tender hearted marshal ALWAYS
throws wide open the doors of the Gala
boose every morning and proclaims liberty
to all within. The reputation of Moline
for providing tor this class of prisoners is
beyond comparison.
The new military company will shortly
be uniformed. Orders have been already
given for the suits, which will consist Of
double breasted dark blue coats with buf
trimmings, white pants for summer anc
dark grey with black stripe for winter
The style of hat has not yet been definite
ly decided on. The uniforms will cos
about a thousand dollars and will be fin
ished in week or ten days. The compa
ny is rapidly augmenting its membership
and when uniformed IS expected to pre-
sent fine appearance.

The library was open for the distribu
ton of books 36l days during the year, dur
ing which time there were 42,llO visitors,
and 1908 books taken out. The daily
average attendance was 1872. Sunday av-
eraee, q.
The report calls attention to the fact Of
an overdrawn bank account, and states
that the necessities of the library are such
that they must within the next sixty days
place in the library some 300 volumes Of
recent and standard publications. In con-
clusion the report calls attention to the in.
creased patronage of the library; to the
fact that there were taken from the libra
ry in the year ending June l. 1875, 1928
more books than were taken during the
previous year: that the present demand
upon the library is beyond its capacity and
as a consequence the books most sought af-
ter by the public are wearing out very
rapidly aud there are now on the shelves of
the library 1000 volumes of these popu-
lar works which will within the next two
years have to be either rebound or with
drawn from the library as worn out The
report thanks the council for liberal sup
port in the past and asks a continuance of
the same in the future

1t is said that Feeley acted upon the advice Of
of the boys and did not attempt come to the
assistance OF his brother officers.
Mr. Feeley says he was not present
when the fighting occurred; that he ran to
the assistance of his brother officers as
soon as he knew of it; that had it not been
for his efforts the fighting would have been
renewed and would probably have been
very serious; that he helped arrest those
engaged in the fight; that any advice, such
as stated, he would regard as an insult and
would arrest any man who attempted tc
prevent him from doing his whole duty
without fear or favor.

ACADEMY OF Music. AS we anticipat
ed would be the case, the drama of The
Virginian" increases in popularity the oft
ener it is seen. The main features are so
thoroughly natural that it does not require
a stretch of Imagination in the slightest
degree to conform its workings to every
day scenes of life. Outside of the leading
character, that of ivan Vernon" which
MIR. Aiken plays with such truthfulness to
nature and with great success in dramat-
ic point of view, there are others that are
worthy of consideration, and which go to
make up satisfactory whole. The number
of people who appear is too large but they
are all important in the development of the
play. Mr.. Aiken has in the play one of the
best dramatic contributions of the present
day, and one which he need not fear to 90
before the public with, and with the great
est confidence that it will meet the approba-
ton of all who appreciate pure and ele-
CANT play Cleveland Herald.

One of those tramps which inhict their

in fit at the corner of Commercial Alley

his pipe and seemed as contented and
happy as millionaire. 1t took four or
five men to hold him Today, while the fit
was on. His face and fainting fits are OF
yearly occurrence here. Officer Kessler
took charge of him last season. He seems
to be able to get the fits up to order, ex-

o'clock the same evening, on the side

name or place of residence, and preferred
to hang upon the picket fence.
