BEDFORD IT is.
The Expected Happens on
Court House Material.
THE SUPERVISORS DECIDE TODAY.

A Hot Discussion Preceding the Vote
Removing the Limit-The Contest As to
the Contractor-Proceeding In General
of the Board ON the New Building Matter.
Rock Island county's new court
house will be built of Bedford stone.
This was positively apparent yester-
day as stated in The ARGUS of last
night-it was a fact this morning
when the time came for the final
show down.
At yesterday afternoons session in
addition to the adoption of stone as
the material. a report from the
building committee was accepted.
asking the board to "consider all
the bids of c. j. Larkin and John
Volk & Co, both Of Rock Island, and
which are in our judgment the low
est and best bids. Further, we
would recommend that q quarter
sawed oat base ten feet high be sub
stituted for the marble base in all
the rooms, the amount saved for the
same on Larkin's' bid is $3.50, on
Volk's bid sl,347.
"A poi sahS
presented, but which went over until
this morning, was the following:
Be it resolved, That the limit of
$40, 900 be raised from $4,000 to
STA, 900 by adding 81, 1000 of the pre-
MUM of $3.50 to said $4,000.
The fact that the increase in the
limit was just enough to let in Bed
hn ~ xa Ic
aroused some discussion, aud the
hope was entertained that this morn
ing would find disposition looking
to the stretching of the amount far
enough to include the best quality OF
stone possible, which would have
been less than S11S,000. That the
way was paved for such a course by
Supervisor Kinks substitute resolu-
ton this morning which rescinded
the Mckinley $40. 600 limit of Jan.
3, seemed apparent. and feeling was
awakened that the board might with
in this scope of authority provided,
extend the amount as proposed. But
these anticipations were dashed to
the ground. Bedford got there just
| the same.
| In the Afternoon.
During the afternoon session f. f.
Parmenter and Arthur Burial
spoke on behalf of Colona stone, f.
G. Frazer on the subject of plaster,
while Architect Stauduhar depre.
Gated any tendency toward Colona
stone. William jackson advocated
the best quality of material if il
could be had for q little more
than the lower bids. He regarded
Portage red sandstone from disin.
terested standpoint, as the best, and
he thought the county should build
we'll while about 1.-THE best was
none too good. Ex-Mayor William
McConochie spoke on stone materials
in general without any particular
preference. When the board adj
journed last night it looked very
much as if Bedford had the pull.
and this opinion was strengthened by
one remark in particular made by 8
supervisor, that the situation had
reached that stage, where, "undel
the resolution we are considering
there is one of two alternatives be
fore you-either take Bedford OF
swallow Colona stone" The resolu
ton was forestalled though, but mo-
the Bedford stone.

Death of Henry Bnchstndt.

Mr.. Henry Bachstadt. we'll known in
German circles. died yesterday afternoon
at his home. 469 1 street southwest, after
short and painful Illness. He had been
suffering from rheumatism for several days
past. and yesterday morning his Illness
took a serious turn. Four physicians were
summoned at once, but they were unable
to do anything for him and he died at a
late hour in TIE day. The doctors thought
1t best to make a thorough Investigate ton
before issuing death certificate, and this
gave rise to rumor that his death was
not from natural causes. One Of the ply
slcians who attended him, however, stated
was concerned he was willing to give a
certificate that Mr.. Bachstadt had died
from heart trouble supe.induced by rheu-
matism. and that will probably end the

NOT so BOLD.
Ream Likely to Collapse Before His
Execution.


Execution.
After Travers had been executed yester-
day a Star reporter talked with Joseph A.
Beam, who Is to be hanged at the District
Jail next Friday for the murder of his step
daughter, Mrs. Annie L. Leahy, on the 22d
of last December. 1t Is the opinion of the
prison officials that the man, who has been
apparently wholly Indifferent to his fate,
will collapse, and his manner yesterday af
ternoon was such as to indicate that such
thing is more than probable. Heretofore
in his interview with the reporter Beam
appeared as man who not only did not
fear death, but really welcomed the re-
lease which 1t brings from the cares Of
this world. But yesterday his Indifference
to death seemed to be assumed. He was
as violently profane as heretofore, and he
seemingly gloried as much as ever in his
crime. And while he assured the reporter
that the hanging of Travers yesterday
morning had not had the slightest effect
upon him, 1t was clearly apparent that the
miserable man was in state of high ner-
vous excitement.
He spoke of the execution of Travers as
an ordinary incident Of life, and with an
oath declared that he himself had never
feared death. and, If he had to hang next
Friday, would face the music unf1inchingiy.
why, damn it to hell" he exclaimed,
they can only destroy this temple Of
clay" striking his chest. but they can't
kill this SOUL which is immortal"
Then the unfortunate man spoke Of his
crime, cursing the woman he killed, and
saying that he regretted not having had
an opportunity to kill others, who, he de-
clared had bounded him to death. He de-
clared, too. that he had not received
fair trial, claiming that the court had de-
termined that ne should be convicted, and
had virtually hypnotized his counsel. But
while they might put his body in the grave.
My SOUL" he exclaimed. will, like that of
old John Brown, go marching on, and about
'06 you people here will hear from both of
u.s."
Beam. until yesterday, had intimated to
the visiting clergyman that he knew as
much Of the hereafter as they did. and
could take care of himself. Yesterday.
however he requested Father Sullivan and
a colored clergyman to see him. and he
talked with them yesterday and today with
seemingly great satisfaction. Now. too he
is devoting himself to reading the Bible.
and when the reporter called at his cell
this afternoon the book Of books lay open
on his cot beside him.
Thomas J.. Taylor, also sentenced to be
hanged next Friday for wife murder, fully
realizes his unfortunate position, but is
evidently buoying himself up with the hope
that his sentence will be committed Yester-
days execution had a most distressing eff
feet upon him, nevertheless and the Jail
officials fear that he. too, will collapse If
the President refuses to interfere.

Details of the Sad Death of Young
Clarence JRrdfne.
Clarence w. Jardine, a nephew of Mr..
and Mrs. E. I. Booraem of 1908 o street
northwest, was drowned in Jones' Falls,
on the outskirts of Baltimore, Thursday
morning. Clarence has been living at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Booraem for seven
years, and at the close of school had gone
to visit his mother, from whom he had
been separated for a number of years, his
father having died when he was five years
old. In company with another lad, Alonzo
Harries, he went in swimming at place
called Snake Hole. His companion swan
across the narrow stream in safety, but
Clarence diving from rock, went down
to the depth of ten feet. His body did not
rise to the surface. Alarm was Immediate
ly given, and Mr.. George Bouldin, who was
fishing near by, ran to the spot, and, diving
down. brought the body up. Every effort
was made to resuscitate the lad, but with
out avail.
From the account given by his COM
panion. his head must have struck a
boulder, which stunned him.
Clarence was q bright lad, and had many
friends among the boys in Hamline Sun
day school, Of which he was a member
He was also member of the Junior Ep-
worth League, and scholar in the class
of Mrs. Fannie. Polkinhorn. His sudden
death was great shock to his relatives,
and especially so to the family of Mr.. and
Mrs. Booraem. who were looking for his
return in September to continue his studies
His remains were inferred in ST. Marys
cemetery, on Roland avenue, Baltimore.

PRAISE FOR MR.. PUGH
His Course Against the Trolley Nuisance
Meets General Approval
He Is Confident That He Will Procure
Conviction of the Ecking-
ton officials.

The prosecution instituted against the
lexington road by Prosecuting Attorney
Pugh Is the first case of its kind against q
trolley road In this city, and is attracting
widespread attention. Being the first case,
Mr.. Pugh did not file one of his proposed
daily informations today and will not do so
until Judge Miller passes upon the case
Monday.
Since starting the prosecution, Me Pugh
has received several letters bearing on the
occupation of New York avenue by the
trolley poles and wires, and, in every in
stance, the writer has given words Of praise
and encouragement to the prosecutor. This
mornings mail brought to Mr.. Pugh let
ter from a clerk in one of the departments
which reads:
Approving His Course.
Il am glad you have taken hold Of that
lexington trolley case, and hope you will
push it to the utmost limit of your power.
That corporation has no more right to eb-
struct the public highway in defiance Of
law than has the citizen merchant the side
walk. and the same vigorous measures on
your part toward the former as were ap-
piled to the latter will ultimately bring
them to realization of their rights and
duty in the premises. Your purpose, as in
dictated In The Star Of yesterday, to bring
d separate actiCn 1Or every pole on the ave-
nue. Is a good one, and I hope 1t will be car
ried out. If necessary.
THE course of a public officer in en-
deavoring to enforce the law should at all
times be encouraged and approved, and
never more 50 than when it's violators are
wealthy and influential corporation. In
writing you this letter but voice the senti-
ment OF great number of those who have
been subjected to the annoyances of this
company's line for the past several years.
and now that the public, through their
lawful repres entative, has 1t by the throat
1t is to be hoped that you will uss every
proper means In your power to bring it 10
realization of the fact that 1t is but q
creature Of the public's creation and must
obey the will of its creator
Confident of Conviction.
In conversation with a Star reporter this
morning Mr.. Pugh said there was no doubt
about the result in the case. The law Is
being violated. and the court will certainly
hold the violators. In this connection Mr..
Pugh referred to the case Of the telegraph
companies being prosecuted for stringing
wires over housetops. In that case the
court held there was violation, and in this
case the facts are such that a clearer and
better defined case can be made out. After
Monday. said Mr.. Pugh, daily informations
Will be filed II the court holds the company
liable, and that will subject the company to
fine of s23 or $50 day. This, he thinks,
will have the desired effect, and the COM
pany will comply with the law.
