The Argus Circulation

In view of the steady growth of
the circulation of the The ARGUS and
realizing the fact that to the average
subscri Der it is more satisfactory to
have the subscriptions paid promptly
and 1t regular intervals, our collector
will hereafter visit each subscriber
every month, and to the end that the
department may be conducted as sys-
tematically as possible and as salts
factory to all concerned as may be,
our patrons, it is hoped, will be pre-
pared to receive the collector when
he comes. At such times, too, any
complaints should be made as to the
manner of serving the paper, while it
is DESTROYS that at any time causes of
complaint be promptly reported The
carriers are required to deliver the
paper neatly and as far as possible in
conformity with the wishes of the
subscribers. They are also provided
with whistles and enjoined to blow
them when at each house where a pa
per is left, and failure of any of these
requisites should be Immediately re-
ported. The carrier will then be pro-
vided with receipt, which the SUBJ
scriber will confer favor by signing,
showing that the complaint has been
remedied. Carriers will be compelled
to comply with these regulations and
the places of those who fail to will be
filled by others.

The Bridge Line Service.

The entertainment at the Burtis
Opera house at Davenport was con-
cluded considerably earlier than is
customary last evening, and large
number of Rock Island people who at
tended, and were enabled to catch a
car at 1925, expected they would get
over before the last regular trip.
Hence when the conductor demanded
extra fare there was a general remon-
STRANGE, the passengers thinking that
while the car did not start promptly
from Davenport as it might have
done, it was nevertheless a regular
car: When the matter was referred
to Assistant President Lardner this
morning, he Immediately made an in
veStigation and found that the last
regular car due to leave Davenport at
1920 had gone few minutes before,
which made the theatre car a special
Mr.. Lardner stated, however, that the
company was purchasing horses as
fast as possible, with a view to put
ting more ears on the bridge line and
reducing the time between cars, that
as soon as possible the last car would
led'e DaNeHp port aI Iu:oO p M, out
cars thereafter would run for special
accommodation as now.
In Rock Island the company
charges no additional fare for theatre
cars, and the result is that everybody
rides and there is ''no kick coming
If is to be regretted that such an ar
rangement cannot be made on the
bridge line for the benefit of the the
atres on each side of the river. 1t
would probably pay the street rail-
way in the end.
Perhaps, however, we must await
the coming of electricity on the
bridge line as bringing about this
among other desired reformations it
has wrought for the public good in
the cities on either side of the river.

Hung Himself.

Coroner McCortney was called to
Buffalo Wednesday morning by infor-
nation that suicide had been COM
mitted there. He went down and saw
the body of man who had evidently
hanged himself. At least the man
was dead. there was every evidence
of self murder and none of foul play,
and q verdict was rendered in accord
ance with the facts. The man was
named John Chumm. He was I'M
married, laborer and dissipated. 1t
appeared from the evidence that he
had drank till his money was exhaus-
ted. and that he had committed the
desperate act because he was despon-
dent and discouraged, or perhaps
mentally unbalanced. The scene of
the hanging was some distance below
the village ,of acknowledgements

AT yesterda, afternoons meeting
OF the board of supervisors, no great
amount of business was transacted.
An additional amount of $25 was al
lowed for the taking of colOred girl
from the poor farm to the Iowa Educa-
tional Institution. A communication
from Frank Smell asked the board to
direct the clerk to cancel a certain
mortgage held by the county on a
piece of land in Cordova township.
The matter was referred to the finance
committee, which is composed of Su-
pervisors Wilson, Sinnet, Cralle and
Forsyth, and later the committee sub
mltted its report, recommending that
the prayer of the petition be granted
and that the clerk be instructed to re-
lease the same of record. No other
business of Importance was tranacted
and the board adjourned until this
morning at O'Clock.

substituting other changes, was
brought in and its adoption moved by
Supervisor Spickler. A long discus

OF Andalusia, who was one of the
special committee, making a lengthy

Governor Altgeld.

Course Which Has Been Approved by
Governor AltgeId.
Hon. c Levi sWaterman, of Gen
eseo, one of the new ap-
pointees rs commissioner of
the Joliet penitentiary, as made
by Governor Altgeld, was in Rock
Island yesterday on business. and in
Icidentally he talked briefly to IN
ARGUS reporter who met him, CON
corning reforms in conducting the
penitentiary at Joliet.
New Methods Needed.
There is no doubt whatever" Mr..
Waterman said, ''but that decided re-
forms are necessary in the methods of
conducting our state penitentiaries.
There is no doubt. furthermore. that
the people of the state expect the in
stitution of such reforms. In fact the
promise of such reformation was one
of the issues upon which John 2. A l.
geld was elected governor. 1t will De
remembered that during the cam
paign Judge Altgeld repeatedly and
openly made specific charges in detail
as to the methods employed in con-
Quoting the penal institutions of the
state. charges that were never sue
cessfully contradicted. and upon lis
election it became incumbent on him
to carry out the necessary reforms ne
had proposed. The commissioners
appointed to succeed those long in
power, found upon investigation that
the governors charges had been we'll
founded-that decided reforms are
absolutely necessary. There is no
doubt whatever that the penitentiar-
les as now conducted are not in ac-
cordance with the law.
Will Sustain the Law.
Now what we propose to do is to
bring the manner of running the pen
itentiary within the law. To this end
we have adopted plan, which, while
we are not prepared to make it pub
lie vet, has been submitted to the
governor and meets with his emit re
approval. In Il short time we hope
to have these plans ready to inaugu-
rate them, and then the public shall
know of them.
1--WE find the labor problem seri-
Gus one to meet in conducting the
penitentiaries. The convicts must be
kept busy. To enforce hard labor
and at the same time avoid conflict or
competition with the Legitimate COM
pensated labor of the outside state is
a matter to which we have given
much thought and study. The matter
of making contracts has received our
most careful attention. We find it an
utter impossibility to conduct the
labor branches of the penitentiarv
without bringing us in conflict with
somebody. What we propose to do.
is, first and foremost, to stringently
enforce the law; that has not been
done heretofore. Then we will so
regulate the methods of labor that
they will entail as little competition
with the regular channels of labor as
possible"

ADouble Fatality

Distressing news from Liberty
township, Scott county, across the
river, involves strange double IA
tality. Mrs. Carl Schroeder, wife Of
q retired farmer residing in the Vi
cinity of New Liberty, died Tuesday
afternoon from the effects of an ap-
oplectic stroke. When the sad news
was carried to her daughter, Mrs.
Charles Brockman, wife of the clerk
Of Liberty township, she, too, drop
ned to the floor, dead, as soon as the
mothers death mas mentioned.
While the exact cause of the latter
death has not been reported, the con-
ditions indicate it to have been
caused by stroke similar to that
