Amend ment Needed.

AS our city charter is now con-
structed it gives no protection to the
laboring man. That is to say that the
men who do the work of digging and
paving our streets have no guarantee
that they will ever receive their pay
for the work performed. If the con-
tractor is rascal he can draw his pay
from the city and skip out and leave
his laborers to whistle for theirs. The
charter should be changed as to make
it obligatory on the part of the Board
of Public Works to keep back enough
of the contract price to meet these
obligations and not make the last pay
ment until they know that all these
workmen have been paid. OF course
our Council and Board of Public
Works have thus far protected the IL
borers but 1t has been done simply
because there has been no really dis
honest contractors, for by the law of
the charter they would be compelled
to pay the contractor in full whether
the men were being paid or not This
is matter in which Mr.. Mead has no
interest. He lives in another county
and naturally gives these local matters
except court house removals-no at
tention. Mr.. Tubbs lives here, he is
fully acquainted with all the existing
facts, he is in sympathy with the la
boring men and he will see to it that
these matters of local interest are
properly cared for. No citizen of ST
perior can afford to vote against Nj.

The comptroller has prepared his es
innate of the current expenses of the
city for the coming year, 1891. and
will present it to the council at it's
next meeting. 1t places the total sum
at 1920, l50, about $4,000 more than
last year, and has included in it some
appropriation which which were not
in the last. For instance, realizing
the necessity of pro curing 4 patrol
wagon he has added 5000 for this
purpose. The health department has
also been Handicapped this season by a
scarcity of funds and is given s. 900
for next year. The new city charter
which is to be prepared and submitted
to the legislature this winter will
probably provide for a small salary for
aldermen and for the mayor, and, an
ticipating this, the amount of salaries
of city officers has been increased. The

Mr.. f. l.. Johnson is building a
fine barn on Third street. 1t will CON
tain seven box stalls, carriage and
harness rooms, chamber for hostler
and be furnished throughout with all
the modern improvements and luxur-
les. Our people do not generally seem
to understand that Mr.. johnson is a
horse fancier to the manor born as it
were, but such is the case. When he
returned from Kentucky recently he
brought with him two fine samples of
horseflesh, one for the saddle and one
to drive, and when his stable is ready
he will fill it with the best in the
market Few towns Of the same age
can produce more good horse flesh than
Superior, and by the time we get some
good paved streets and our boulevard
completed, we will have some elegant
turnOutS to put on them.

Ed. Was Mistaken.

Ed. Chopper. of Rock Island. we'll
known in this city. is an engineer on the
O., X. l. u p. and like good many other
railroad men, he buys his butter. eggs,
etc, here in Geneseo. A couple of weeks
ago he ordered some butter and eggs at a
Geneseo grocery, to be delivered and left
at the registering room in the depot. The
Rroceryman put the butter. which was in
rolls. in the bottom of the basket. and
put the eggs on top, completely hiding
the butter from view. The basket was
delivered at the depot and left there for
Ed. II so happened that there was an
empty basket in the registering room,
and the basket containing the butter
and eggs was set down beside 1t. When
Ed. pulled his train into this station
that night he went after his butter and
eggs. He picked up the basket contain
ing the eggs, and seeing the empty
basket beside IT, came to the conclusion
that the butter had been delivered in the
latter, and that some one had stolen il.
lie had no time TO look around, however,
and putting his eggs on the engine, he
started with his train for Rock Island.
Ed. was in the city again last Saturday,
- 1919 W ept SibtCi huu lDlu tue stOTy
OF the suppositilious theft of the butter.
The grocer then explained to Ed. that the
butter was under the eggs in the basket.
I'd: said he had accused nearly every
railroad man on this division of stealing
the butter. and had told his wife that the
butter was stolen. She had taken the
eggs from the basket just as she wanted
to use them and OF course had not dis
covered the butter He "set em up" to
the grocer and made him promise he
would say nothing about II. and said he |
would go home, get the butter out of the |
basket and tell his wife that he had lust
bought IT, We happened to hear OF il. |
but OF course we will say nothing about
u. Tor fear Mrs. Chopper might hear of il |
and catch the genial Ed. in a prevarica.

Motive are now told-progressed very
far toward insensIbiity, denied having
blown the gas out, and II was taken for
granted that he had accidentally turned

life to partly open transom. allowing
the gas to escape, aud attracting the

going away without breakfast lie went

from Sterling that A. woelier registered
at the Gault house, that city. Tuesday
evening. He secured a room and re-
tired for the night. There was no open

found dead In his bed yesterday morning.
