Should be Reconsidered.

On Monday evening, the city council
proceedings show that
On motion of Alderman Atkinson the
Street and Alley Committee we're directed
TO have the Street Commissioner purchase
200 loads of rock from the Water Power
Co.and have them hauled to Union Square
and there broken into macadam.
This is an unnecessary expense, and the
city has not the money to commence
boarding macadam. Union Square looks
bad enough now, with its tool boxes and
rubbish and dead trees-but to turn il
into stone yard, and make a place fol-
loafers to sit around and ieer at passers-by
is "crowding the mourners." 1t is bac
piece of management to bny rock in Mo
line, and then at heavy expense hau
them to Union Square and break them
and then load and haul them where want
ed. No macadamizing should be done
this year-but if there is hole that mus
be filled, why. haul the rock there anG
break them on the place, and thus saw,
the expense of once loading and haulin,
and unloading. The council should repea
that order, and neither buy or break an,
rock unless for some pressing and una
voldable necessity-and then break then
on the ground where needed,

Fourth of July Meeting.

There does not seem to be any general
interest manifested by the people in the
proposed formal celebration on the Fourth
4 meeting was held in the court house
last evening. At about half past eight
clock about so persons were present
Later in the evening the number was
somewhat increased. A long list of COM
mittees was announced. but, as there is no
knowledge that one in ten of the persons
named will serve, we do not think it worth
while to publish the list
Among the appointments is that of DR..
Gregg for marshal. The DIR. called at our
Office, this morning, to say that he had
noticed the appointment in the morning
papers, but he wished US to say that he
respectfully declined to act, and that he
intended, if he lived, to spend the next
Fourth of July in his own way. This is
probably the opinion of majority of the
gentlemen whose names are published
Most of them are fully competent to de-
eide how they will spend the Fourth with
out any dictation from John George, or bis
assistant Mr.. Haverstlck.

IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
James McEdary Arrested for Robbing
David Stewart.

Yesterday afternoon blacksmith, nam
ed David Stewart formerly 10 the employ
of Geo. Langdell. went to the latter's shop,
on the north side of Court Square, in a
pretty drunken condition He was ac-
companid by Hugh Sharkey, we'll known
here, who was also intoxicated Mr..
Langdell told them they had better go to
bed and sleep off the effects of the liquor.
aud the two then went back to the barn
and laid down. How long Stewart was
asleep he does not know, but he was
awakened by somebody trying to roll him
over on his back He sat up, but whoever
it was that had disturbed him, he had
gone. He again went to sleep and when
he awoke he was lying on his back, and, he
says, James McEdary was leaving :the
stable on run by the alley door. He
jumped up and followed him, but just as
he got into the alley he tripped his foot
and fell When he got up he discovered
that his pocket had been cut and that his
pocket-book and about SIS in cash were
gone. The fellow had disappeared by this
time. but Stewart went up to Illinois
street and saw McEdary standing in front
Of the blacksmith shop. He afterwards
informed Deputy Marshal Miller of what
had occurred, and that officer arrested
McEdary. Sharkey then said he had
been robbed of about 500, and Deputy
Miller thought it would be best to arrest
the whole party, and they were taken tc
to Jail Only about 50 we're found on Nc
Edary. Stewart swore that McEdary i:
the person who ran out of the stable. The
case went directly to the grand jury to- day
1t was only few days ago that Nc
Edary was fined for assaulting man OF
he street.

MORE CROOKED WHISKY.
Pete Ki.ner Arrested for Defrauding
the Government.

Last evening Pete Klnner was arrested
by Marshal Halves and Policeman Taylor
on a bench warrant issued by Judge Love,
Of the United States District Court for the
southern district of Iowa, he having been
indicted for defrauding the government by
selling liquor and cigars without license.
He was taken before U. s. Commissioner
f. d. Sweeney and held in $500 bonds for
his appearance at the examination this
evening. S. b. Hendren and Henry Kin
ner went security for that amount, and
Pete was released.
1t will be remembered by a good many
people in this city that last fall, during the
county fair at Burlington, Iowa, Pete
Kinner and Bob. Downs, Of this city, went
to that place and opened a saloon and
restaurant on the fair grounds. They had
no license to sell liquor or cigars. Their
place soon became notorious for the num-
Der Of drunken and gambling men there, and
the drunken rows increased daily until they
attracted the attention of the police, and a
raid was made on the place. Downs sue
ceeded in getting out of the tent or shed
and escaping. kinner was arrested anC
lodged in Jail. He remained there about 8
month or six weeks, and was then dis
charged, he having sworn, at the examina
ton, that he was only an employee o

but was in this city once last winter

Unless somebody puts check on Street
Com'r. Ziegler. the councilmen will find
themselves out of cash before the year
closes, and without the power to raise any.
We ought to have had ward supervisors,
and not permitted the expenditure of a
cent more than the road tax. But the
mayor vetoed the ordinance on that sub
iect, and compelled US to have street
commissioner. Well, If we must have one
man to boss the streets all over town, let
us have a man who has some idea OF
economy. Street Com'r Ziegler has
already expended more than thousand
dollars on Moline avenue without shadow
of authority or direction from the council
or the street and alley committee. The
mayor may have wiuked to him to &C
ahead-but the mayor is not authorized tc
order such work, The council is the
authority, and the order should be execut
ed under direction of the street and alley
committee.
In this case it is noticeable fact tha
Liegler was permitted to go ahead on this
job (which was not public necessity
until he got the avenue macadamized
along the entire front of the Rodmar
property lin which the mayor, as son-in
law, is interested) before the mayor
stopped hin. AS soon as the work wa
completed in front of the property il
which the mayor was interested, then h,
was stopped.
A few days ago We noticed Ziegler will
gang of men at work on Orleans street
between Deer and Otter The work wa
wholly unnecessary. Not a cents wortl
of work was called for there, by any press
ing public necessity. If we had plenty o
money to expend in making flower beds
then it would be we'll enough-but We hav
not, and what we want is a street com r
who can comprehend the situation, an'
who will not do days work anywher
except under direction of the street an,
alley committee, as authorized by vot,
of the council. There are plenty of goo
men 10 town who would take that ofic
economy is to be adhered to- And we ca
upon the mayor to give us man who vii
stop expenses. The way things are going
