Through a streak of unusually good
luck, ex Supervisor Frank Harwood, of
Moline, was released from the county Jail
this morning A few days ago petition
was gotten up, asking Judge Smith
to release HARDWOOD from Jail on
condition that he conduct himself in
an honorable manner in the future.
The petition was signed by the infu-
entail and professional men ofthe CITY,
and the array of prominent names
including also county and city off
GERS, which the pris oner's attorney, Mr..
Parmenter, obtained, was something in
which HARDWOOD should take pride and
encouragement. Yesterday, however,
word came that Judge Smith had ad-
journed court until July 5. and indica-
lions were that he would not be here I'M
til that date But last evening Mr.. Par
menter CHANGED to meet Judge Smith in
Union square, the Judge being here on
his way to Minnesota for his health. The
case was laid before him and he ordered
Harwood's release. We hope the lesson
Frank has learned will be sufficient and
that the mercy the court has shown him
in not insisting upon his serving the six
months sentence and the good will his
friends have extended him, will lead him
back into the straight path, and that he
will attain the position in the eyes of the
public his qualifications eutitle him to-

The peaceful meeting of the city coun-
Gil two weeks ago was, it seems, but IA
lull before the storm, for on Monday
evening it came with more than usual
fury. The tiercest animals when gorged
with food are comparatively harmless
perhaps the fine supper partaken of some
time before, had not then been fully di-
gested. The mayor and two of the ten
aldermen seem 10 wish TO retain Mr.
Long, as street commissioner. The others
wish 10 have a chance to choose either
Mr., Lon g or some other. The MAYOR
will not allow any nominations and the
present incumbent holds over. The
next meeting will be wilder still, if in the
mean time something in the way of a
birthday party is not forthcoming.
Some important business was transact
ed between the rounds. An ordinance
was ordered drawn to protect the cemetery
ground from spoilation by friends who
lnfest 1t. An eighteen-inch tile is to be
put around the north side of McKinnie 5
block; commission of three is to be ap-
pointed TO appraise the waterwoTks plant;

They are robust and stout men, and hav-
