THE LAST EXTREME.
The Board Shows How Far 1t Can Let Per
sOnaI Feelings Go.

The disposition of the board not
to accept the resignation of Supt.
Ament is not surprising. Indeed it
was not supposed that the directors,
the controlling sentiment Of which
has been so msniiestly devoted to
the superintendent. would relieve
him even at his own requess-urgent
though it might be-bus the unkind
and vindictive course toward
Principals Hslsey and kirkpatrick
was hardly expected by fair minded
people. Neither of these attaches of
The corps has been guilty OF any
breach of conduct or neglect of duty
that would justify such an act. Mr..
Hslsey has acted not only in q dig
nified. but in an entirely respectful
manner. While he felt the .disad-
vantage of working under Supt.
Ament, he kept his own counsel
until the time came when through
the action of the board every one
connected with the staff of teachers
was obliged to take = position one
way or the other-there could be no
neutral ground. Then Mr.. Halsey
placed himself on the side OF the
teachers, but he did it in an entirely
proper way. his communication pub
lished yesterday evening being the
first statement he has made to the
pubic, and the attacks made upon
him by the superintendent fully de-
manded that. Let Mr.. Ament and
Mr.. Halsey be weighed in the scale
of public opinion and there will be
little room for doubt as to how each
is regarded.
As to Miss Kirkpatrick, che has
merely acted the part of q coura.
geous woman, who has naturally re-
sented the conduct of Supt. Ament.
and indignities no greater to herself
than to the others of the corps of in
structors. She has not been insub-
ordinate, and above all, her duties
have not been neglected in the sight
est sense. She has not been ..spec-
tator" during the past year. In
point OF service and efficiency, she
heads the staff OF the common
schools. She has by long aud faith
! full service proven her worth and
capabilitv. and the shameful action
Of the board will only tend to-
strengthen her in public estimation.
Furthermore, Principals Hslsey
and Kirkpatrick have neither been
any more aggressive than many of
the other SO teachers opposed to
| Supt. Ament, and not more pro-
nounced in their views than any of
the others. and it is quite likely all
, OF the others will be found standing
firmly and bravely by the two who
have been singled out for special
| persecution.

ATTEMPTS TO KILL HIM.
rs. George Huschman So iYering Mentally
Threatens Her Husband.


Threatens Her Husband.
Poormaster ladders is in a quand-
airy as to what disposition to make
of Mrs. George Huschman, who re-
sides at the corner of Seventh street
and Fourth avenue.
Several months ago the lady was
taken into the county court at the
instigation of her husband and tried
for insanity. her actions having been
peculiar for some time. But the
jury said her condition was not such
as to require her detention at the
asylum. So she was liberated.
Now the authorities have been called
upon to take her in charge again.
Since Mrs. Huschman heard that
she would probably be sent to the
poor farm or an asylum she has been
carrying knife, threatening to
make it interesting for any one who
attempts to interfere with her Mr..
Huschman says the other night he
was awakened and was startled to
find his wife standing over him with
a knife in her upraised hand as
though prepared to plunge it into
him. Poormaster Lidders has the
case under consideration and it is not
unlikely that Mrs. Huschman will be
sent where she will DO no har m.

STATE OF FINANCE.
Aldermen Endeavor to Make
Ends Meet.
OoMMrTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS.

An Effort to Get the City Out Of it, Present
Predicament-Levss Gets . Proper
Lift In the Apportionment Of Fands for
the Coming Season.
The city council went into COM
mittee Of the whole last evening
with Aid. Nelson in the chair to con-
slider the state of the finances, in view
of the estimated receipts and expend-
itures for the coming year. As was
stated yesterday. City Clerk Hues-
ing's estimates indicated a deficit of
$50, 224.51, and after the aldermen
had figured for an hour or more they
found they had increased the short
age rather than dimished it. Then
they went at it again and
by slashing right and left succeeded
in cutting il to $4,000. Mayor
Knox admitted that as far as he was
concerned he was stumped and ready
to hear of some means by which the
city could get out Of its Pr edicament.
After discussion. Aid. Kennedy moved
the recommendation to the council
o. the appointment of committee of
three to devise ways and means. The
committee thereupon rose and Aid.
Nelson reported to the council the
report of the committee on progress
and with recommendation. The
council adopted the same and the
mayor named Aids. Kennedy. Whee-
Ian and Nelson as the committee on
ways and means, and added the city
attorney.
The balance on the wrong side of
the ledger is due largely to errors in
former accounts in keeping the gen.
eral funds, and to considerable ex-
tent to overdrafts in last years funds.
The city must now increase its reve.
nue. and reduce its running expenses,
and it would seem that with the ex-
ception of the fire. police and health
departments. every superintendent
will have to be greatly cut into yet.
The appropriations as figured by
the committee are as follows:

year by Miss Kali and G. &. Housed.
These alterations were recommended
BY the teachers committee as q
means OF economy.
New Text Books Ordered.
By a recommendation of the text
book committee it was decided BY the
affirmative votes of Mesdames Ham
ilton and Norris and DR.. Kinyon, to
substitute Fisk's history of the United
States for Barnes, and Southworth's
arithmetic for Oiney's. in use in the
Rock Island schools for over fifteen
years. Neither Mr.. Robbins nor Mr..
Sinuet voted on these changes, the
latter explaining himself thusly:
| The reason l don't vote on these
matters is because 1 know nothing
about them, not having been prev
iously consulted"
1t was recommended by the teach
ers' committee that the ninth grades
of the city be taught at one building
the coming year. And it carried.
This will require an outlay Of sew
eral thousand dollars in remodeling
the No. 4 building to meet the re-
quirements Of such an idea. But il
is commended that it will improve the
educational system and SO drain
from the several buildings as to
allow the children to attend school a
whole day. Such an innovation
would, it was claimed, relieve the
principals of the Nos. l, 6 and7 build
ings considerably and allow them
more time to the supervision of thei1
buildinos

The Lev0e.

The Levse.
The council by a vote of eight to
five. Aid. Nelson being in the chair,
rightly decided to appropriate 1000
for the .levee, on the ground that it is
really economy for the city to avail
itself of the present circumstances
no matter what other conditions may
be. Aid. Maucker made a strong
and able fight for the project, which
was just as strenuously opposed by
Aid. Tindall, the course of the latter
alderman representing. as he is sup.
posed to. the business ward of the
city. being exceedingly peculiar.
