Judge Bigolow Makes an Important Rui
| ing in the wagner water Case.

Judge BigelOW Makes IN Important Rui-
ing h the wagner water Case.
In the circuit court this morning
Judge Bigelow ruled upon the ques-
ton of costs and damages in
the Wagner waterworks injunc-
ton cases against the city.
The back water rent having
all been paid into the city through
process of law, the question of costs
came up and the court today held
that the city should have the interest
Of <546 accrued during the litigation.
But on the point of attorney fees
amounting to $1,000, which the city
demanded as the natural outcome in
the way of damages growing out of
the wrongful suing out of the in
junction. the court held this m orning
that he could not see that attorney
fees came directly from the injunc-
ton process, and could not therefore
be assigned as damages. but belonged
to the litigation as a whole. The
court also refused to allow about
5000 of other damages claimed by the
city.
Appealed.
Adair Peasants, as attorney for
Wagner. took an appeal from the
ruling as to interest. the point de-
cided against Mr.. Wagner. and the
point of attorney fees as well as OF
interest will be argued and definitely
settled in the supreme court as was
the main issue some time ago.

Two Kinds of Brick.

The board of public works and
street committee of Davenport met
yesterday morning and decided to
report to the city council in favor OF
the bids for this years paving that
provide for the use of burlington OF
Galesburg round-edge brick. except.
ing two alleys that will be paved
with Buffalo brick. The Puringtor
company has signified its willingness
to furnish the round-edge brick fol
the same price asked in the bids fol
square-cornered, and this will reduce
the cost of the paving about 81. 900
The figures still remain, however,
about $4,000 higher than those
named for the Des Moines brick, but
while two of the members of the
meeting thought the latter brick was
good enough, four didn't, and by q
vote of four to two on the contracts
where the capital city figured in the
bids, it was ignored.
The Edwards & Walsh Construc.
ton company and Flick & johnson
were the successful bidders, the for.
mer firm capturing all the contracts
except that for three blocks around
the court house. The Construction
company's bids that were accepted
call for Purington brick, while Flick
Il johnson offer Galesburg brick. II
will be insisted that it be in every
way the equal of Purington.

CITY COUNCIL CHAT.
Aid. Foss Attempts tn Have the Bass BAH
Fence Moved

AID. Foss Attempts tn Have the Base Ball
Fence Moved.
A petition signed by . number OF
Seventh ward property holders was
presented at last nights council
meeting by Aid. Foss, ssking that
the base ball fence facing Forty-third
street be moved back to the street
line. The deciding Of the matter was
left to the incoming council. As the
street Is very lightly traversed and
does not necessitate an extension of
room, those who attached their sig
natures to the petition should take
into consideration to what extent the
base ball park will be damaged by
the deprivation of 16 feet lengthwise
and it is to be hoped that
the council will act wisely. as did
its predecessors. who succeeded in
disposing of like petition to the
satisfaction of both sides, and re-
tanning the full base ball space. to
reduce which would be q serious
blow to this popular sport.
How They Voted.
Aid. Dauber moved that the matter
be referred to the street and alley
committee, Aid. Roth offering as 3
substitute that the new council de-
eide it, whereupon Aid. Dauber
withdrew his motion. Then Aid.
Foss amended the substitute by NOV.
ing that the petition be granted
forthwith, holding that its prosecu'
tion was wholly dependent on imme-
diate passage. in view of the ap-
preaching ball season, which would
soon open. Foss' amendment was
put and lost, the mayor exercising
good judgment in casting dissent
ing vote against such hasty action
where something more than individ.
ual Importance is at stake. Here is
the way they voted:
Ayes-Schneider, Cramer, Kenne-
dy. Foss, Nelson's.
Nays-Reth. Schroeder, johnson,
Daub Der, Schroeder IS, and the
mayor, 6.
The vote on the motion to refer re.
suited:
Ayes-Roth, Schroeder, johnson,
Dauber, Schroeder, Fossil.
Noes-Schneider, Cramer, Kenne.

A Boys Conscience.

Every boy, no matter how hasty or
wrong headed he may seem, has in his
heart teacher who can always show
him the way to do right if he will listen
to what it tells him. Where the voice
comes from or who gave it power to
speak in boys heart one cannot say
here. But it is there, and although he
may refuse to listen to the voice of his
mother or to any outside voice telling
him Of the right and wrong of his ac-
lions, he cannot altogether disregard the
still, small voice which is always with
him and which sometimes he cannot
refuse to hear Perhaps the voice may
be very faint at first but if we try to
listen it will surely come and speak
louder and clearer in the heart of every
boy who wishes to find higher, better
way than he has ever known before. a.

IN A HURRY.
mr.. JssA1Eins Had Contract on Hand After
That Shave.

mr.. Jsaa1<ins Had Contract on Hand After
That Shave.
Mr.. jenkins always was in hurry It
CALLED him to have 81 wait for anything.
a delay of even few seconds in getting
change drove him into passion He al
ways would walk down town rather than
wait for a street car if the car was not in
sight when he was ready to go. 1t gave
him nervous prostration if the railroad
train he wanted to take was five minutes
late. But the worst trial of his life was
the necessity OF having to wait his turn at
the barber shop. That he regarded as
clear waste of time. He would try every
scheme to get into the shop at a time
when no one else was there. Often in des-
peration he would spend an hour hurry
ing from one shop to another in the hope
Of finding one where he would be next -
Unfortunately, however, his favorite bar
Der was also the favorite of a good many
other men, and he often had to bide his
time in patience, or rather impatience,
though it made great strain on his nerv-
GUS system.
He started to enter the shop the other
evening, and as he peered through the
door he saw, to his delight that the bar
Der at the eleventh chair had no victim.
He Rugged himself over his unusual luck.
His hand was on the doorknob, but just
at that moment woman's scream rang
out close at hand. A tramp had accosted
her for a nickel for nights lodging, and
when she attempted to brush past him
had snatched at her purse She was cling
ing to it pluckily and screaming for help.
The street was deserted. Mr.. Jenkins was
the only man around, and he was out of
sight in the doorway, which probably had
eInboldened the tramp to make the as
sault.
Mr.. Jenkins took in the situation at a
glance. He was a chivalrous man. His
first impulse was to rush to the rescue of
the woman, but as he was starting to do
SO the thought of the vacant chair came
back to him. What was he to do? If he
stopped to help the woman, some one else
might slip into the shop, and then he
would have to wait for his shave. He took
step toward the struggling couple, then
turned and stepped back the other way.
He whir1ed himself around three or four
times in sheer desperation of indecision.
Then bright idea came to him. Spring
ing into the middle of the sidewalk, he
waved his arms and shouted:
wait just minute, madaml Please
hold on a second or two, Mr.. Trampl I'll
be there as quick as l get shaved. I'm
next and it won It take ten minutes. just
postpone your affair till get through"
And with that he boIted into the barber
shop, and dropping into the vacant chair
exclaimed excitedly: Double tip if youth
let mo out quick I've got to rescue a
lady from highwayman as soon as I get
. through here. Buffalo Express.
