Total personal. :,

The object of the Union was OF course
to kill two birds with one stone; to show
in the first place that Mr.. Barge, the
democratic nominee for assessor, had.
whether willful or not, been negligent in
his duties as regarded Mr. Hass' property
at least, and at the same time to convey
the impression that Mr.. Hass had eluded
the payment of taxes in 1888 which he
had paid in 1887. The ARGUS at the
time interviewed Assessor Barge on the
subject and he explained that if there
was any such difference in the assessed
valuation of Mr.. Hass' personal property
betw cen 1887 and 1888, it was due to the
fact that between those years he retired
from business and had disposed of con-
siderable Of his taxable personal proper
ty. The explanation appeared to be sat.
isfactory and it is not likely that cit her
Mr.. Hass or Mr.. Barge lost any votes
through the Unions statement.
But since the election MIR. Barge, " no
did not, personally. assess Mr.. Hast'
property-one of his deputies doing 1t
for him-went to the county clerks
office and made an investigation of the
asse ssor's books for 1887 and for 1888,
when, what was his surprise, to find that
there was nothing on record to bear out
the showing as made by the Union. The
assessors books for the two years spok en-
of show Mr.. Hsss' personal assessment
IN no.
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1889-04-09

Thus the records show a difference Of
$40 as between the assessed valuation In
1887 and 1888, and this is amply ac>
counted for by the disposition of the
steam engine, when Mr.. Hass went out
of business Further than this, Mr..
Hass reports more personal property in
two items In 1888 than In 1887, being
assessed for three carriages In 1883 in
stead of two. as he was the year before,
and for two watches instead of one.
The Unions statement, purporting to
have been taken from the official records,
indicates difference of 81 300 as be-
tween the assessed valuation in 1888 and
In 1887. 1t is doubtful If any newspa.
per, no matter how desperate and bold it's
fight for political party or political
"masheen. ever stopped to so contempti-
BILE trick. To deliberately manufacture
such statement out of whole cloth with
the sole intention of doing injury and in
justice to two reputable citizens simply
octuuhO thO1 oiU on oDpUb>
ing ticket, is an act that is disgrace to
modern politics and to all modes Of polit-
ical warfare. The Union has in this one
act shown Its tendency to misrepresent,
garble and fslsify. and IN SO doing has
placed itself in a position, not only to
merit the Indignation of all good citizens
who look to newspaper for reliable in
formation at all times, but to bring down
upon 1t the condemnation of the party
whose interests it has attempted to ad.
vance. as well as the party whose candi.
dates it has so maliciously outraged.
1t has always been the disposition of
the Union to attempt to garble official
records the council proceedings for in
stance-to suit the course pursued by it,
and many aldermen have complained of
that paper altering the reports appearing
in its columns above City Clerk Koehlers
signature. Last week it garbled the
election returns making an addition to
the official figures for McConochie of ten
votes and raising his majority CORES
pondingly high. This fraudulent piece
of work was on par with it's garbling Of
the records in the county clerks Office.
Such practices may be approved of in
Kansas, but in respectable communities
they are condemned. and the newspaper
so offending is not only abusing its OPP
portunities. but is in a most shameful,
cowardly and censurable manner taking
advantage of whatever Of its readers may
put their trust in it, and is not worthy of
belief under any circumstances.

to Have.

ing-.-Who Voted Last Tue sday and
Where They Live Other Facts.

The ARGUS of last evening in review>
ing the ground of Mr.. Frederick Hass to
contest the election of VIM. McConochie
as mayor of Rock Island, spoke of the
fact that of the 227 students catalogued
In Augustans college for the year 1888,
only four registered Rock Island as their
10 different parts of the country, regard
ing such as their homes, yet that in the
neighborhooo of forty students of Angus
tana college voted in the Seventh ward at
the last election-more than enough TO
change the election either way. The
actual number was thirty-six and the
ARGUS has learned their names and places
of residence as they are printed in the
college catalogue for 1888. Following is
the list:

These m any are known to have voted
in the Seventh ward and it is estimated
that there are at least fifteen others who
do not board or lodge elsewhere than at
the college. but who attend it, who are
only transitory residents in the city and
who voted in other wards.
There are other things in connection
with the recent election that warrants
Mr.. Hass in demanding recount at least.
The total vote cast was 2473: yet the
total vote on the two candidates for each
of the respective offices did not reach
those figures. The total number of votes
short on mayor as compared with the
total. is thirty nine-seven in the First

To express it briefly, the vote seems to

and investigation as to the legality of the
votes of the students is demanded by all

A Meeting OF the Property Holders to
Take steps Toward Securing the
Best Work In the Paving or second
Avenue.
A call was last night issued, signed by
Mitchell & Lynde, J. ~ N. Rosentield,
A. c. Dart, T. II. Dawson. Fred. Hass.
E. H. Gnyer, Pster Fries. l.. S. McCsbe
and F. Ludolph for meeting of props
erty holders on Second avenue, between
Fourteenth and Twentieth streets. at the
Improvement association rooms at $3.50
this afternoon, to consider the pro-
visions of the paving ordinance, adopted
by the council meeting Friday night. and
to take such steps as will secure the
best job at the lowest cost" as the call
expresses it.
Many have gained the impression that
the meeting is fcr the purpose of opposing
the cypress block pavement, but If the AR
GUS may Judge rightly from conversation
with taxpayers this morning. it is only
to provide for specifications that the good
work inaugurated by the council may go
forward without delay and under such
circumstances al the greatest good may
accrue from the most reasonable cost.
This the ARGUS believes and hopes to be
the purpose of the meeting. or course,
there are those who favor brick, and
there are those who. under the guise of
being partial to brick, would prefer no
pavement at all, but the majority Of
property holders are pleased with the
paving selected and are not likely to re-
monstrate against cypress blocks.
Mr. Phil Mitchell, of Mitchell &
Lynde, remarked this morning:
while think the council should have
investigated further as to brick. l am not
disposed to assail the council for its ac-
! ton. ! believe it did its duty as 1t saw
il to be, and as far as am concerned, go
ahead with cypress blocks. only there
should be abundant specifications as to
advertising and we should get the best
material possible.
w. A. Negus said Il am well pleased
with cypress blocks as a pavement. 1t
is much preferable, in my opinion. to
brick, and should like to see the avenue
paved with it as soon as possible,
Street Commission E. P. Reynolds
said: Although am not particularly
interested, cypress blocks will be the best
material they car get for paving. if they
are going to use wood. Brick, regard,
as an experiment as yet. aud if they can
get the best quality of cypress blocks. it
will make the best pavement in the
| world, and the people will be proud of
it."
Frederick Haas. president of the I'm
provement assooiation, and one OF the
signers of the call, remarked: THE
meeting is not called to oppose cypress
block pavement, as understand the
sense of the call 1t is simply to pro-
vide as to the spe ci6cations. l did pre-
fer brick, but ain not at all displessed
with cypress BILE cks,. because / know
what they are"

We call special nos tice to one change in the day of meeting, from Thursday to Tuesday, and also urge the ladies of the city to attend more regu- larly for there is much work to be accom- plished, and this season the attendance has been comparatively small.
 Many wants are brought to our attention every month at the hospital, and we are anxious to supply these necessities, but most low and we appeal to the public for help, with money or material. and also ask again for contributions of old fannels, linen, etc., which arc much needed, and we can use any- thing no matter how worn. We wish we could make people realize how much need there is for proper garments for many of the patients that are brought to the hospital and the com fort we add to their hours of pain by the simple supply of whole and clean under "wsar and tear" of the laundry these gar ments do not last forever, and consequently our work Is never done and we shall always have to ask for generous aid for this good cause.
