A $1,000 VERDICT.
Stephen p. Harris Suit Against the
Southern Pacific is Decided.

The suit of Stephen P. Hart against
the Southern Pacific railroad company
to recover damages for injuries re-
ceived by reason Of being forcibly
elected from train, although having
ticket, has been decided by Judge
Shattuck at Portland, Oregon. The
plaintiff is allowed $1,000 for the in
dignity put upon him, but nothing for
the physical injuries received. the
court holding that his resistance was
the cause of his being hurt. Mr..
Harris attorneys believe that the de-
cision is weak in the latter point and
the case will probably be appealed.

are familiar to our readers, and all
will hope that Mr.. Hart will be sue
cessful in securing the damages to
which he is entitled. He is visiting
in this city at present.

At 11;50 o'clock last night occurred
the death of Miss Martha Siedenfuss,
daughter Of MIR. and Mrs. John Sic
denfuss, of 2519 Fifth-and a-half ave-
nue.. The deceased was taken i'll last
March, but recovered sufficiently to
resume her accustomed duties, when
she met with an unfortunate acct
dent necessitating painful surgical
operation. From this she had never
fully recovered, and compli cations
setting in her death was the result.
Miss Siedenfuss was born at AL
tona, near Hamburg, Germany, July
%. 1879. and came with her parents
to this country in 1882. She was a
young lady of much grace of person
and character. greatly beloved by a
large circle of friends, who will be
deeply panied to hear of her death.
The funeral will be held from the
home Friday afternoon at 9 o'clock.

AMENT'S EXPLANATION.
The Superintendent Reseats the Idea OF
Criticising His Methods.

The Superintendent Reseats the Idea of
CriticisIng His Methods.
Superintendent of Schools Ament
has mad the Union interview him on
the question Of the excuses required
by him of parents where cases of alb
sence of children from school occur.
1t is matter of some surprise to
him. Mr.. Ament says, why an in
telligent parent. feeling aggrieved at
an element of school administration,
should take his trouble to The ARGUS
editor instead of the superintendent of
schools" In brief reply to this it
may be said that if all the COM
plants that have come to THE ARGUS
were published Mr.. Ament would
have to charter the Union and
restock it to begin to make
explanation of all that is said
in criticism of his methods. How
ever, the fact that the schools con-
stitute public institution, supported
by the public. and that people there
fore feel privileged to pass their own
judgement upon the course of those
who govern, may in measure ex-
plain the reason why some parents
intelligent though they be, too, as
can be vouched for-have seen fit to
talk to THE ARGUS rather than to
hunt up Mr.. Ament himself. AS far
as Mr.. Ament's explanation in re-
senting the criticism of his methods
is concerned. it is frivolous. As a
matter of fact, furthermore,
Mr.. Ament and his mouth
piece to the contrary notwith-
standing, no attack whatever was
made upon him. The general
plan of excuses in blank form
was not depreciated-rather than
that, it was upheld, but the feature
to which parents objected of being
required to go beyond the ordinary
requirements Of conutenancing the
absence of a child and giving reasons,
occasioned disapproval. Mr.. Ament's
assertion that an excuse that is &C.
ceptable to a teacher is accepta BILE to
him, is refreshing as coming from one
who not long since openly branded
the Rock Island schools as in a
deplorable condition, with teachers
unfit to occupy the positions they do.
The regaining confidence and re-
spect of the head of the schools for
the corps of instructors assigned to
duty under his administrator is de-
voutly to be appreciated, but the
main theory that a sanitary principle
is to be subserved in the explanatory
excuse from parents is poor rule to
apply in all eases. Where an cpl
demic or even a casual prevalence of
sickness among children is attribu-
table to unhealthy conditions in
school buildings, a special investiga-
ton would very quickly suggest
itself, and under such conditions
would be altogether proper. and the
circum stances warranting such a
course of action would naturally de-
velop. As to the truant officer,
whose service Me-. Ament links with
his peculiar form of excuse, it would
seem, if the latter worked as the or
iginator intended it should work, the
supernumary which the board is now
hiring would have little to do.
And it may be source of surprise
to the superintendent to know that
intelligent parents and intelligent
patrons of the schools take this view

Years From March l by an Industry
Employing 10 Men-Description Of the
Enterprise.
The old gas works property at the
foot of Seventeenth street and 'front.'
ing on First avenue is to be utilized
for manufacturing purposes. When
the gas works plant was moved up
over the Moline line Manager S. S.
Davis said that if given time the Peo-
pies Power company would replace
it with an institution. which, instead
of employing two permanent men,
would furnish work for about forty
times that number. That assurance
has been verified to the letter, the
lease having been consummated with
the +. j. Lewis Roofing Il Manufac-
turing company of Omaha for five
years from March l next. with privi-
lege of extension. The branch fac
tory to be established on the site will
employ 40 men from the start. The
company has capital stock of $780,
900, is one of the best known in its
line and most substantial in the
country. 1t already has the contract
for the Rock Island court house, the
Hurst block and other important
buildings here and others of the
three cities. At it's Omaha plant 80
men are included in the pay roll.
Description OF the Product.
The company manufactures gravel
and tar roofing as well as a prepared
roofing Of its own invention and
make. 1t has extensive contracts all
over the country, and it's coming to
Rock Island brings another factory,
which, by the way, asks no capital,
but merely comes here to do bust
ness and employ labor. 1t is an in
dustry that will develop and expand
and the people have reason to be
grateful to the Peoples Power COM
pauy for the part it has taken in
bringing about the result.
The Peoples Power company re-
tains its present office and storeroom
in the gas works building and the
Rock Island laundry will continue to
enjoy the space it occupies there.
The Lewis Manufacturing company
will have an office on the East Sew
enteenth street side and the space
originally used as the tar we'll by the
gas company will be converted into
tank for storage purposes, the re-
mainder of the building which it is
to occupy being adapted to manufac-
turing purposes.
