The Waterworks.

We expected great things of the water
works department when Morris IT, Stat,
ford and his crew get possession of the
machinery. The cry had been raised
against Mr.. Kerr that he was only a pat
tern maker and did not know anything
about such intricate machinery as that at
the waterworks building. Notwithstand-
these reports Mr.. Kerr made very salts
factory superintendent and few, if any
complaints were made against him. One
great point in his favor was his
economical management. The coal bills
were smaller than on former years, and
the expenses of his department cores
pondingly lighter.
The machinery was turned over to
Mr.. Stafford in first class condition. His
friends were loud in their praise of his
efficiency as an engineer, and as he had
been after the position for several years,
it was expected that he was just the man
for the place. But how has he progressed
so far? His first move was to go before
the council and ask for $500 worth of
tools "We can do our own repairing"
he said, land the city will be saved q
great expense" Although there was con-
siderable opposition, the tools were Or
dered purchased A great deal of re>
pairing could have been done for $500.
but in time, of course, this outlay would
be more than made up by the city
doing its own repairing. The understand,
ing was that no extra time should be al
lowed for this work, unless the men had
to work extra hours.
The pressure at the waterworks ceased
altogether for time one morning for
couple of hours. 1t was currently re-
ported that the engineers had fallen
asleep at their posts. Although this
charge was made no denial or explana-
ton whatever was made. 1t was subse.
quently reported that Davis & Co.'S men
spent most of the following Saturday
night and Sunday at the building. We
| notice among the waterworks bills al
| lowed for last month one to Davis & Co b.
| for $4S.50. Several items of extra pay
are also allowed, and among other bills
the expenses of the waterworks foot up
to the neat sum of $1,255.97. Two bun
| bred dollars of this was for the tools pur-
chased. But by deducting this the ex>
penses are more than for the two previ-
GUS months when Mr.. Kerr was in charge
of the works. In April the total bills
amounted to $50 81 and in May $817.79.

know whether the superintendent found

Hanlan Coming.

Edward Hanlan, the noted sculler and
until his recent defeat in Australia, cham
pion oarsman of the world, will positively
attend the professional regatta at Moline,
Saturday, June 10. He will at least give
an exhibition and possibly may row with
some of the other professional scullers
who will be present. The presence of
Mr. Hanlan will be sufficient to attract
thousands to the regatta. In Ciew of his
visit Hanlans explanation of his defeat,
which he made at st. Louis, will not be
uninteresting.

A Tool.

The Union, in its paroxysm of rage
over being deprived of the official print
ing for the city, makes repeated attacks
upon the republican aldermen who saw
fit to support the ARGUS instead of that
sheet. 1t is particularly wrathy at Alder
man Schroeder, whom it designstes as
"mugwump," and "a tool for the demo-
Gratis, citing the way he voted upon the
mayors appointments. If there is one
thing more than another upon which AL
derman Schroeder can pride himself. it is
the decided stand he took against the IL
legal and uncalled for action of Mayor
Murdoch, when that gentleman abused
the confidence of his constituents in a
most shameful manner. Instead Of being
"a tool in the hands of the democrats,
and simply voting with them against con-
tirming the mayors appointments, Alder
man Schroeder led the opposition to the
lone man rule" and made many forcible
arguments for the position he took; and
that he acted in the most conscientious
manner no one will deny. He be-
lieved, yes knew, that not only the res
publican party, but the citizens, ir-
respective of Iarty in the city, were ads
verse to the despotism displayed by the
mayor, and expected the aldermen to hold
him in check. if possible. Although Mr..
Murdoch managed to have all his nOmin>
ations confirmed by his own vote
Alderman Schroeder gained one point
he fought for. That was in regard to the
appointment of assistant engineers at the
waterworks, which power he claimed was
vested in the superintendent instead Of
the mayor.
Alderman Schroeder continues TO be a
republican, however, Notwithstanding the
Unions criticism, but he is not blindly
partisan. He believes that the citys in
terest should be subserved without regard
to party. A democratic administration
had continued republicans in official ca
pacities, because of their merits and faith
fulness, and he saw no reason why re,
publican administration should expel
them. But he would not have objected
had the mayor appointed as COM
petent men as were then in Office.
Even in the matter of awarding the print.
| ing. Mr.. Schroeder voted to give the
work to the lowest bidder; he did not es
pecially favor the ARGUS. But we have
no wonderful affection for Alderman
Schroeder" as the Union AYERS. We have
given him only such credit as an honest
conscientious man deserves. He consid-
ers his obligations to his constituents as
sacred trust, and they can rely upon
him to do his whole duty. He has also
the satisfaction or knowing that major
ity of the republican party of Rock Island
endorse his policy, and are already entire

ably Good Catch.

While patrolling his beat in the east
end of the city about midnight, Officer
Boland ran across three individuals,
whose actions and appearances led him
to believe they were plotting crooked
work. When the officer first discovered
the three they were standing on the cor.
ner of Elm street and Fifth avenue, and
seemed to be talking intently in an un-
dertone. He Swallowed them for while,
and just as he was about to take better
position to watch their movements, they
discovered him and hurriedly started
down Fifth avenue Officer Boland pur>
sued, and overtaking them asked them to
give an account of themselves. The Off
GERS first suspicious were confirmed by
their answers, and he escorted them to
the city prison.
On searching the prisoners-who gave
their names as William Ready and John
Pealing of Chicago, and William Hart of
Muskegon, the first named two claiming
to be sailors-there was found in their
possession, $5.05 in cash, Harrigan, self
cooking "a calibre revolver, loaded, a
bunch of keys, designed no doubt for
opening doors of dwellings, stores and
safes. and long knife with an ugly
blade. which might be used either for a
file or knife At the station the prisoners
begged to be given freedom, stating they
would not bother the town but go imme
diately to Davenport. As Marshal Eek
hart had no desire to infest the city
across the river with the three, be held
| them.
While conducting the prisoners to the
station, Officer Boland noticed that they
were continually throwing something
away, but he did not stop then to see what
it was, for fear the men would escape
When near TwentYAseventh street, Peal
ing fell into the culvert, but he was as
| sisted out and taken on to the station.
This morning Officer Cary found a new
British bull dog revolver in the culvert
where Pealing had fallen. The gun was
loaded. while near by and further on along
the avenue were found cartridges.
The trio will be taken before Squire
Bennett sometime this afternoon, and
bound over to the circuit court for carrying
concealed weapons. The police expect in
the meantime to collect sufficient evidence
from abroad to stamp the fellows as ex,
pert burglars. 1t looks very much as il
they were in the act of locating" house
when they were gathered in last night.

since its first introduction. The services
were under the auspices of the William

seemed to pervade all present, as each in
his or her turn cast the memorial tlibute
of honor in the shape of beautiful flowers
upon the graves of the dead soldiers.
