purposes were never so bright as at pres
ent. At last nights council meeting the
matter for payment of water usel by the
Guy from Jan. % to March 1 came up.
The company presented its bill of about
$500 and il was promptly disallowed, al
though Al ierman Morris argued long and
earnestly for II.
This means "a civil suit. The city has
been expecting it sooner or later, and the
town will feel relieved when the matter is
finally settled by the courts.
Meantime the agitation which began
months ago for a water works system. be-
longing to and operated by the city, has
been going br.skly OH. 1t Is proposed by
many enterprisng people for the city to
buy out the old company's plant, and IL
that he impossible, to bui Il a new plant.
Tue Bennett law passed 10y the late legs-
lature, which goes into effect July 1, en-
ables cities and towns To extend the limit
of Indebtedness for water works and other
purposes. THIS was passed for Helena's
particular benefit. The question is to be
put before the people, and 1t is believed
they will vote Tor municipal ownership of
n water plant.
council meeting last night. Alderman
y an, made the first practical move to-
ward regarding seriously the con-
structIon of dam across the
NJ ssouri. He said the time was fast
appro aching when the city must
own It's own water works and electric
lghtinI system, AMI he believed the SOU
ton of the question lay in the damming
of The Missouri. He therefore introduced
"A reso Ut on providing for the employ
ment of a capable ny lraulic engineer at
cost not to exceed $3.50, to make estimates
of the cost of damning the river and
transmitting power and bringing water to
the city; also what the plant of the Con-
solidated Water company is worth, in ca SO
the city wants to buy, and what "a NJ W
plant would cost.
Although the council had put itself on
record as being unanimously in favor of
city ownership of water works, the resolu-
ton received cons derable opposition. but
was finally adopted. Whether anything
will eventually come of the plans or esti-
mates is yet to be seen. 1t may. like GER
tain other enterprises in winch this city
has taken some interest, toe forever pro-
posed but never accomplished. This,
however, remains the first practical move
in which the NJ ssouri dam proposition has
ever been considered. The city actually
intends to spend $3.50 to find out what a
Missouri river dam would cost.
The matter is a serious one TO Helena.
Wuh her immense debt, which is steadily
on the increase, the proposition for more
b Inds is n grave one. Unless the step is
taken, and the Old wafer rate is paid. the
Water for fire and sewerage purposes
alone will cost the city over 900 a year,
an amount the city IN its present condi-
ton cannot afford TO pay.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

A Chicago Woman Has Gus. Andersou
Arrested for . Grave O6enss.
Gus Anderson, q well known young
man about town. who has been en-
ployed for the past two years as q
tailor, was arrested this morning on
a charge preferred by Miss Selma
Peterson, of Chicago, that he was
the father of her illegitimate child.
He was taken in charge by Detective
Fitzgerald. who came here in quest
of the seriously accused young man.
Gus will be taken to the city,
his former home. to face Selma's
music.
In speaking of the affair this morn
ing Anderson was not reticent about
admitting his relations with the
woman, but he also made accuse
tions affecting others. He claims
he is the victim of her admiration,
which prompted her in singing him
out from her other friends. Miss Peter
son was formerly employed as do
nestle in a prominent family in this
city. where Anderson met her. Last
fall she went to Chicago, and he
heard nothing of her until the legal
messenger communicated her wishes
this morning.

Gottlieb Nobel, 5l7 Twentieth street,
was ransacked and a revolver, Mrs.

SCHOOL ELECTION.
Early Discussion of Candidates
for the Offices.
TWO TO BE ELECTED LATE IN JUNE.

Importance of Selecting Men Of Expert
ence This Year Above All Others-Candi
dates Spoken of for the Omces - New
Duties Devolved.
1t may be somewhat premature to
discuss candidates for the school
board in view of the expiration OF
the terms of Directors F. E. Robbins
and H. d. Folsom, six weeks in ad-
vance Of the election, yet we ALREADY
have the formal announcement of the
candidacy of F. E. Robbins and Mrs.
W. A. Norris for the Offices. Inas-
much as the directors are as a rule
nominated by popular consent, there
is no more reason to consider Mr..
Robbins a candidate than Mr.. Fol-
som, Notwithstanding that the latter
has been, perhaps. more inclined to
modesty about his own succession,
and in fact has been heard to say
that he was not anxious to serve
longer, in fact would prefer not to.
Nevertheless, there are probably
quite as many who desire MIR. Fol-
som as Mr.. Robbins. In view, too,
of the announcement of the candidacy
of Mr.. Robbins and Mrs. Norris, fire.
quent favorable mention has been
made not only of Mr.. Folsom. but OF
Capt. c. w. Durham aud also of DIR.
G. e. Carter and j. w. WEIGH. the
generally prevailing sentiment being
that this year above all others there
should be experienced men selected,
men who are familiar with school
affairs. this owing to the fact tina,
complete change has taken place
in the management of the schools.
Experience Wanted.
Heretofore the board has relied
very largely on the longtime super
intendent and clerk of the board, S
S. Kemble, whose familiarity with
the duties of the combined office, the
records, the condition and status o.
school affairs and the genera
methods of the board, has made hi:
services invaluable. But now there
is to be a change. An entirely new
superintendent is coming in. who i:
yet to be tried and who will have 8
great deal to learn about Rock Island
schools. Likewise the board has de-
cided to divorce the offices of super
intendent and clerk and to have s
separate man for clerk, so that the
board instead of having the advan
tage Of relying upon man like Mr.
Kemble for Information, will reor
ganize with an absolutely new regime
with a superintendent and clerk tt
deal with in two different individuals
There are also grave questions to
consider as regards the schools
financial affairs, and experience
knowledge of the situation and the
best business judgment obtainable arr
desired.
Sentiment should not cut any fig
ure this year. Experience ant
familiarity with the subject arr
necessary in dealing with an institu
ton so near to the hearts of the PEG
pie as the public school system.

BLOODY SELF BUTCHERY
william Rosburg. u Davenport Maniac'
Desperate Deed.

William Rosburg, of Davenport,
suicided in a horrible manner in the
Schleswig- Holstein house on West
Second street there yesterday after
noon. When discovered he was
lying in a pool of blood with bullet
hole in the side of his head and an
other in his breast. The corpse pre-
sented a horrifying spectacle, and
the desperate deed was the result of
sickness from which the victim had
become a raving maniac. He was an
employe of the Mueller Lumber COM
pany and was taken sick Sunday and
had grown rapidly worse since.
Yesterday morning he got up from
his bed when no one was in the room
and when first discovered was run
ming about in the Mueller lumber
yard.
When one of the workmen tried to
stop him Rosburg became raving
crazy. and attempted to assault the
man with a club. Others who had
watched the whole proceedings now
interferred and attempted to capture
the crazy man, but he broke away
and ran to his former sleeping apart
ments over the barn and secured q
revolver he had there. He then
went directly back to his boarding
place and assembled to his room. One
of his room mates followed him and
after some trouble Rosburg appar.
emily recovered from his attack o.
insanity and became quiet. Hi!
friend then left him and went dowr
stairs to eat his dinner. He hat
hardly seated himself at the table
before he heard a pistol shot. shortly
followed by another report. and run
ming up stairs. found Rosbur:
stretched out on the foor,. stone
dead. the blood pouring from the
twRhastly wounds as spoken of.
The deceased was about IS year
of age and came to Davenport from
Germany 10 years ago. He was al
unmarried man. but a mother. twt
sisters and a brother survive him
living in Northwest Davenport.
