The Superv isnrs.

When the board voted the right TO
publish its proceedings for the ensuing
year to the Rock Island ARGUS and Mo-
line Republican yesterday afternoon, it
was supposed that the matter was sets
tied, but this morning the members had
a red hot time over the question again
A reconsideration of yesterdays action
was made by Supervisor Smart, and car
ried. Supervisor Bowman didn't want
the proceedings printed in any paper, as
he claimed the charges were too excess
sive. Supervisor Heath moved that the
proceedings be published in the ARGUS
and Union. Several amendments were
added to this motion, and an attempt at
adjournment made, but the original mo-
ton was finally carried, which makes the
ARGUS and Union the official papers.
The report of the poor farm committee
was next in order, and this also created
considerable discussion The trouble
arose over the digging of well by Peter
Left. He agreed to dig the well for a
stipulated sum on the poor farm, but
after doing considerable excavating he
found it hard to reach sufficient depth
for water, and he commenced another ex-
cavation. He claims 1856 additional over
and above his contract for extra work,
but the committee made an adverse re.
port. The board adjourned until this afN
ternoon without arriving at satisfactory
solution of the matter.

The Foaming Book.

According to the brewery calendar, to
day, May LIST, is known as Book
beer day. For q week or more, however,
many of the saloons have kept this grade
of malt extract on tap. Book" beer is
one of the traditions of the past, and
takes its right to exist only from the fact
that tender recollections cling around its
name. 1t is simply in obedience 20 an old
custom that the brewers are still bringing
forth 'bock" beer and inveigle the public
into the belief that the season has any,
thing whatever to do with the quality of
beer. Before there were other appliances
for making lager beer without a
"lager"-which means in good Anglo
Saxon a storeroom for letting beer get age
and the power to overcome mankind
the bock.beer season had a justifiable ex-
istence. 1t was the time between winter
and summer when the brewer stopped his
years work and turned out the first of his
years brew. sweetened by brown sugar
and strengthened by overheated malt
which he called "bock because the
strongest beer in the days before this
country was discovered used to come
FROM Eimbeck, town which in the mod>
ern times has been innocent of lager beer.
But some old Saxon duke, about eight
hundred years ago, had his heart made
glad by few pals of Eimbeck beer in
the spring time, and then the block" beer
season YVES established. 1t came to this
country with lager beer. But 'bock
is not the supreme master on these
shores as it is In Bavaria. particu-
larry in Munich In that city book" beer
means public excitement. When it is first
announced that the "haufbrau" is turn
ing out the first of its March product the
town is alive with beer drinkers. But
even their "bock" is nothing but pious
humbug, tribute TO old memories, and il
is only question of time how long tradi.
ton will live against the sober thought
and knowledge of moders civilization
Here every brewer makes book at thi!
season of the year. He makes it strong
and sweet, and advertises it as something
not to be had at any other time, but the
fact remains that with modern appliances
we might have book" all the year round
and then, of course, the charm would b.
gone.
