Ell HAMMOND BONDSMEN

They Will Pay the. Full Amount Of the
Judgment Against Them
The Ell Hammond bondsmen, through
Mr.. Bosbyshell, notified the supervisors
that they accepted the terms of the settle
ment proposed. The full amount for which
the bondsmen are liable is S21, 16S.30,
which includes the amount of the defalca-
ton. with interest and costs, as determined
by the supreme court. The defalcation
with interest amounts to $lS,16O.69, and
the supervisors told the bondsmen if they
would pay this amount in cash they could
have thirty or sixty days in which to raise
the other $4,000 if they wished. Mr.. Bos-
byshell said the solvent bondsmen would
try and make up the full amount by Mon
day. and when it is paid into the treasury
the judgment will be assigned to those
bondsmen putting up the money, and they
can then proceed against the others who
have not paid their pro rata. In any event
the county will get the full amount of the
claim.

SINGER AND SONG
By l. FLORENCE TYLgA

IT was only a simple ballad,
sung to careless throng;
There were none that knew the SINCE:
And few that needed the song;
y at the singers voice was tender
AND sweet, as with love untold
surely fhOse hearts we're hardened
That it LETT so proud and cold.
She sang OF the wo-drous glory
That touch-s the woods in pring;
OF the strange, soul sttrfing VOICES
When che ills break forth and sing"
OF the happy birds now warbling
The requiem of the day.
And the quie hush of the valleys
In the dusk OF the cleaning gray.
And one in II distant corner,
a woman. worn with strife,
Hear in tnat song a message
From the spring time OF her zsfss
Fair forms rose up about her,
From the mist OF vanished yean0
She sat in happy blindness,
Her eyes were yelled with tears.
Then when the song was ended,
And hushed the last sweet tone,
The listener rose up softly,
And went on her way alone.
once more TO her life of labor
She pass ed; but her heart was strong
And she prayed, "God bless the sinPeri
And oh, thank God TOR the song

EDITOR acknowledgements the Ell
Hammond victims | wish to make a little
correction as to the statement made in
your paper this morning regarding the rate
OF interest offered 10 the supervisors by the
remaining solvent bondsmen.
The amount of the defalca1ion with the
county's costs, at > per cent 10 November
Goth, will amount to SIS ,349.4O. We Of
fered them SIS, 559.S9. That you will see
is more than the money lost. with costs
and interest to date. at the rate which the
county is paying; and surely there is not a
fair-minded man who should ask us to pay
more. They required so 1851.
Yours respectfully.

A Baby Exchange.

The inexhaustible energy of Editor
Stead of the London Review of Re-
views appears to have fonnd new out
let. He has discovered that one of the
wants of the modern world is conven-
lent baby exchange. There are families;
of too many children, and there are
couples who have none. There are
homes desolated by bereavement. and
others that are rendered almost as un-
bearable by the influx of superabun-
dance of little ones. There are infants
that have been deprived of their parents
by death, and there are families Of
young ones that have succumbed to the
grim destroyer. At present no medium
of exchange exists that would tend to
equalize the supply and demand or to
establish the balance between those who
have too many babies and those who
have none. Mr.. Stead is convinced that
an exchange of this kind and the e.
tension of the practice Of adoption would
have the effect Of alleviating Lluch mis-

Board of Education Called Together Last
Evening on Request of Three Members
to Reconsider the Vote Favorable to the

At least three member of the

of the serious mistake made by
that body in adopting the grabbing
proposition of the American book
trust and allowing the introduction
of its text books into the Rock Island
public schools. Public sentiment is
opposed to accepting such offers.
which on their faces are displayed a
weakness in some point. What the
public wants and demands is litera-
ture adaptable to their children, and
not the board of education, which is
supposed to adopt such measures as
will best improve the scholars op-
portunities. Since the last meeting
the board has received criticism on
every hand. until now it has become
decidedly complicated question.
A reconsideration of the former ac-
tion is not improbable. as the men,
bers have found themselves dis
tant in the light of public COM
mendation.
Last Evenings Special.
A special meeting was called last
evening at the instigation Of Mes

clusiOn that a reconsideration was
demanded. When Chairman Robbins
took his customary seat he would en-
terrain no motions tending to unravel
previous action relative to the text
book matter. He gave no explana-
ton except that he would not act in
the absence of Director Sinnet.
