Of the aged lady whose children ha

Twas stout, and rugged, = snarled oil

Which stood almost in the street,
With its roots uncovered. ~ Que might co

And Wild and 6erce Boresl shocks,
Had scanned its stem with many mark

Rough, and crippled and broken away,
BY the storms Of many year,
Men ssid when they looked on ito branch

"Old tree, what doest thou here"
So they came It Last, they Of tho town
Who act for the public veal,
An unsightly thing, to cut it down;
Corporations never feel.
There st"od by Ito side an aged dame,
All wrinkled. and gray and pale,
They waited = moment, those who came
To list to her fearful tale.
"'Twas planted long ago" che said,
"And he who bad ct it. there
Had slept ." long with the silent dead,
That tho marbles mossy were."
And he had loved her long. and purely"
Then her sobs began to rive,
Alas, it il ssd thing surelyi
Tears falling TINS, from aged eyes.

And One, (Oetwsen them rivers rsn.)

"Her boys, had played beneath ito shade,
And her merry little girls

"She minded we'll tho time she id,

In an item on Monday evening s
ARGUS concerning the programme of St.
Patrick celebration, it was stated that
mass would be for the society only. This
is mistake, the mass will be for all who
desire to attend. The order of march will
be given in day or two, also the full pro-
gramme.
The Union is vainly trying to kick it.

will say to our correspondents who are
trying to convince the Union that it is re-
soonsible for Mr.. WarDock's defeat that the
task is hopeless There is not sense
enough in the institution to comprehend the

The jury repaired to the home Of the
murdered man and after viewing the body
went to the Office of Peter Munger, on
Second avenue and the examination of
witnesses began.
Sheriff Perkins was the first witness
called, but as his testimony is relative to q
confession from Heeney and is not yet
completed, we omit it for the present.
Deputy Marshal Blackburn was next ex-
amined, but before concluding, Thos. Hee-
ney, one of the prisoners held as witness,
was brought from Jail and examined, but
his evidence was so contradictory, and he
seemed so unwilling to testify directly,
that he was remanded to Jail without con-
Guiding the examination.
Henry D. Fish was the next witness.
He testified to arresting the man dublin
Jack" at the bridge; that when arrested
he was covered with blood; that he was
not so drunk but he knew what he was
about.
James Marley was the next witness.
His testimony was very full and ccrrohor-
ates Blackburn and Fish.
At the conclusion Of Manley's testimony
Blackburn was recalled and finished his
testimony which was very important and
given IN a clear concise manner. The
facts elected are mainly as given above
The inquest at 1915 adjourned until 80
p. N when it was resumed.
The testimony this afternoon only cor
roborated the facts as above stated. It
showed that the parties had been having a
party and on their way home must have
come across Rosenfeld, and 10 a spirit of
devIltry made the attack upon him.
All 10 all it is one of the most brutal
murders, and the fret one of the kind that
has ever taken place III the city, where
an officer has been stricken down without
warning, as the finding of the officers pis-
tcl in his pocket untouched showed that
he had no warning of the assault. The
city loses faithful! officer and good cit
izen. 1t nov remains for the authorities
to take such steps as will give the city and
the guardians of the peace themselves
ample protection.
The funeral will take place on Friday as
will be seen by notice elsewhere,

1rAYoR,s INFLAMMATION.

The brutal and unprovoked murder of
the late Joseph Rosenield, a member of
the police force of this city, while IN the
legitimate discharge of his duty, and the
presence in our midst of an unusual num-
Der of lawless and vicious persons given to
evil practices and desperate acts, render
it an urgent necessity that the city officers
and citizens generally should use their ut
most endeavors to suppress acts of violence
and disregard of law.
Now, therefore, ], ELISHA ?. REYNOLDS,
Mayor of the city of Rock Island, GO here
by issue this, my PROCLAMATION, warning
such offenders to desist from their evil
practices, and directing the peace officers
of the city to use the highest diligence to
apprehend and bring to trial all lawless
persons guilty of disturbing the peace and
endangering life and public security; and
also call upon all law-abiding and up
right citizens to aid and assist the city Off
GERS in the discharge of these duties and
in securing the arrest and punishment Of
all notorious offenders against the peace
and security of the city.

How is This2

Our board Of supervisors is source OF
comfort and local pride, and THE ARGUS
is very sorry to see the Union publish any
thing that detracts from the individual
greatness of any member. If, for instance,
Ransom should deliver one of his usually
learned and elegant speeches, it would be
great outrage upon this great orator, to
say that Dave Martin made the speech.
To rob Ransom of glory is more telling
upon his peace of mind than to take away
his mileage. Again, if Mein Herr Won
Kramer should be instructed by the Organ
to introduce resolution on economy, and
then to say that Andy Donaldson was its
author, would send this great economist
home with the Won" knocked clean off
| from his name
Now we had supposed that Judge"
Buffum was chairman of the finance COM
mittee and would make report showing
the balances in the treasury, together with
such recommendations apd suggestions as
are proper to come from the chair
man of so important q committee.
Such report has been made and here is
the Union now saying the elaborate docu-
ment is understood to be the work of Su-
pervisor Bell. Who gave the Union to
understand that John Buffum, whose
name is signed to the report, had no hand
IN producing this elaborate document
Why not give him LITTLE credit? Now if
Judge Buffum will write out report of
his work we will give him little praise. 1t
is SO much nicer that all should share
alike. Of course we cannot call him as
eloquent as our Ransom, or as economical
as the distinguished economist, but with
time we can make him look as big as any
supervisor from the upper end of the coun-
ty. THE ARGUS takes pride in those SUI
pervisors who do hunger and thirst" after
greatness and does not intend to let any
opportunity pass wherein it can say nj ce
thing for them.
Ransom is expected to make a speech
before the term closes.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1879-03-12

A special meeting Of the city council
was held at 4 o'clock this afternoon to
make arrangements for the funeral of the
late Police Officer Jos. Rosenfeld and to
ascertain the condition of his family.
All the Mem begs we're present except
Cammeron and AnawGlt. The following
preamble and resolutions were adopted:
For the first time in the annals of this
city, oIe Of its officers, Policeman Rosen-
field, has been stricken down and foully
murdered while peacefully WALKING the
atreets and acting in the proper discharge
of his official duty, The circumstances, so
far as known, are Of an exceedingly aggra
waited character, aud show that his death
was produced at the hands of cowardly as
sassins in the most unprovoked manner,
aul with wantou disregard of the
rights and secaG.lg O. human life. If the
lives of the special guardians of the public
can be thus ruthessly assaulted and de-
stroyed, what sense of security is there for
peGoeabls and unarmed citizens in their
daily pursuits or IN the silent watches OF the
night3 Such an atrocious and Banton
muroes Rerits the segerest punishment,
and should be dealt Vlth IN a manner to
bring terror to the minds of wicked and
| lawless men, and to deter others from the
commission of similar acts. But greatly
as we depiore, and indignant as We feel at
the murder committed, all law abiding cit
liens will admit that the punishment
should be melted to the murderers by the
properly constituted authorities and in due
course Of lay. 1t is, however, eminently
fitting and proper, il consideration of the
the nature ard circumstances of the crime
that the city council should give adequate
expression to their own sentiments and
those o! our citizens 10 regard TO this great
crime and outrage:
Therefore. the MAYOR and ALDERMEN
Of the city of Rock Island, in council as
b!ed, unanimously resolve
/. The city council bear unanimous
J testimony to the excellence, efficiency, and
faithful discharge OF duty of the late po-
licoman, j jseph RoseDGeld and to hi:
honorable reputation aud integrity as q
citizen.
.. We deeply depore his uDtimely
death, and regret his loss TO the public ser.
vice; we would also tender to bis widow
his children. and relatives. our sincere sym
patty in their great affection.
3. That the officers of this city, 10 G
body, will attend the funeral services OF the
deceased. and that all funeral expenses be
paid by tie city.
On motion Of Alderman Lpndy the
Mayor was instructed to select such assist,
ants as he might deem proper from the
board Of Aldermen and act as a committee
to make arrangements for attending the
funeral The Mayor selected as such com.
mittee Aldermen Warren, Koch, Lundy
and Wagner.
BEETLE aad Storms were appointed
special policemen.
Alderman kellerstrass reported that tbs
deceased officers family were left iu des.
titute circumstances and suggested that q
months pay be voted to the widow. The
suggestion was adopted by unanimous
vote, with the understanding that the of:
6cers name be kept on the pay roll during
the present municipal year. The meeting
then adjourned.
A subscription for the benefit of the
family was then started.

Too Much Physic.

Yes, many people are killing themselves with
strong medicines. They are making miniature drug

are taken in quantities for constipation, bousness
and headache. The vital organs become overpow
