McEinrie's Bill.

Some months ago Dan O'Connor was
run over By a street car, in Moline, and the
physician for the poor, DR.. ?. I. McKin-
ME, called to attend him. The man was o
pauper, and the doctor. it appears notified
the railroad company that he would hold
it responsible for his pay. Subsequently a
compromise was effected by which the
doctor was paid through John Soderstrom,
overseer ofthe poor of Moline, to whom the
street car company paid the money, taking
Soderstrom's receipt as overseer of the
poor. The doctor, to protect the railroad
presented a bill to the board
through Soderstrom for $75, and when the
bill was reached in committee, Supervisor
Reid refused to allow it, without investi-
eating the justice OF the claim. as, know
ing the suppressed facts, it looked a good
deal like case of niger 10 the wood
pile" The matter turned out all right,
however, it appearing that there was no
real intention to defraud the county, but
simply desire to help the roilroad COM
pany, By whom, DR.. McKinnie would ap-
pear 20 have been employed as sort of
go-between, to lessen damages.

called together to take action upon an
ordinance repeating the grant of right oil

nue., west of 18th. street-to do what they
thought they had done at the previous
special meeting of the council.
The ordinance was ready and the votes
were there to pass it. The City Attorney
informed them that to make the ordinance
legal it must be signed by. the Mayor, OF
some one elected to be acting Mayor, The
ordinance was forgotten in the contest for
this very honorable or profitable position.

motion was carried by vote of 5 to 3.
The anxious property owners on First
