USE OF THE AMBULANCE.

Inquiry as to Why the Convenience the
Ladies Provided is Not Utilized.
Inquiry has been made as to why
the ambulance, which, through the
humanitarian efforts and public
spirit of Rock Island ladies, was pro-
vided. has not been made use of when
occasion is offered. Two instances
have been noted within the past week
where the patrol wagon was sent in
response to ambulance calls where
the proper conveyance should have
gone from police headquarters. Why
things are done thusly is not
explained unless the brownies
have found nothing as to the proper
use of ambulances in their guide book
of fairy tales. Perhaps it is Just as
we'll not to confuse them with too
much to think about at once at so
early period in their public exper-
fences. If they knew that there was
more than one conveyance to be
sent out under certain emergencies
they might start the hook and ladder

AGED MANS SUICIDE,
John Lemon, Residing Near Rey-

MENTALLY AFFECTED FOR YEARS.

Sits Down on the Stairway of His Home.
Places the AIuzzIe of the Weapon to His
Breast and Pulls the Trigeer-DIes
Within an Hour-Leaves a Large Family
Buried at Presumption.
Joseph Lemon, an aged farmer, res.d-
ing five miles southwest of Reynolds.
ended his life in tragic manner Monday
morning, placing the barrel of shot
gun. to his left breast and pulling the
trigger with his toe. He died within
an hour
Mr.. Lemon had been mentally af-
fected for years, having been twice
adiudged insane and sent to asylums.
He arose at his customary hour
Monday. His actions were not of an
unusual character and therefore the
members OF the household had no
warning of his contemplated deed
until they heard the report of a gun.
The old man lay at the head of the
stairway, the smoking weapon at his
side.
Aims at His Heart.
The shot had torn a large hole in
the left breast, also SCATTERING the
arm. Before discharging the gun,
Mr.. Lemon sat down on the top step
of the stairway. and holding the bar
rel of the gun with his hands, oper-
ated the trigger with his toe. He
evidently aimed at his heart.
Mr.. Lemon was about 60 years of
age. He leaves wife and several
grown up children.
An inquest was held and a verdict
of suicide returned. The body was
buried at Premption yesterday.

these matters is to bring all the re-

The mayor ruled Aid. Wheelan' s
motion out of order. An appeal from
the chair was taken, and again the
council failed to sustain the mayor by
a vote of 9 to 5.
Mr.. RYAN was then called to the
witness chair.
Ibid anyone make formal charge
TO you against Mr.. Ryan prior to his
removal, !" asked Mr.. McEniry of the
mayor.
Declines to Answer Question.
The mayor refused to answer.
Mr.. RYAN then under oath stated
that no saloon was open on his beat
as charged by the mayor on election
day. 4 motion by Aid Wheelan that
the action of the mayor in removing
Officer RYAN be not concurred in was
adopted. s to 6.
Mr. McEniry gave the council some
parting advice. He hoped the admin
istration would be consistent, so long
as it had started out to create the i'm
preston that the ordinances are to be
enforced to the letter, especially so
far as they pertained to the closing of
the saloons, for. regardless of his own
ideas of a liberal policy, he declared
it would be farcial proceeding to
depose policemen for failing to enforce
laws that the administration did not
live up to.
Upon motion of Aid. Wheelan the
council turned to the regular order of
business.

administration" 1t is just posi-
BILE, though, that this brownies
harmony is so musically harmonious
that it overshadows any other short
coming in connection with the per-
Torrance of his duty. But why
should thisly be thusly?
1t is understood that the summer
bonnets are to be equipped with ear
muffs In Pa Etzel.
The story is told that one of the
brownies arrested bum on an out
lying beat the other night. His
weariletts was tired and refused to
walk to the station. He said he was
accustomed TO riding. And he sat
down upon the curbstone and
awaited the brownies next move.
The latter became very angry. He
shook his billy in the hobo's face
but Willie only smiled-and told him
to remain where he was until he re-
turned and he would fix him. But
the brownie never came back. The
hobo waited until it was time for an
other drink and then wandered away
in the moonlight.
If the night patrolmen must sleep
while on duty it is only just that the
mayor provide them with blankets
and pillows, and tents during the
rainy periods. for the health of the
little fellows must be protected.

Paving OF Twenty-second Street Some
Snap Shots.
An invitation TO participate in the
Memorial day exercises extended by
John Buford post was accepted. The
council will attend in body.
The clock refused to work. 1T has
been laying off for several meetings.
Aid. '.Boneyn johnson put in his oar
at frequent intervals during Mr.. Nc
Enirys address. And '.Boney" got de-
cidedly the worst of it. The crowd
guyed 'Boney' numerically Indeed
he was so EN- barrassed that he
blushed.
Two trees in the Second ward were
ordered felled upon motion of Aid. Beck.
He said it was dark and dreary spot,
the shade of the trees furnishing an
excellent waiting place for footpads
at night. He would not pass beneath
the trees after dark if he had any
money or valuables with him.
Foxy Phil was on hand, occupying
seat at the right of the executives
desk. Phil said not a word, but
looked pleasant, and winked the other
eye occasionally.
Property-holders representing three
quarters of the frontage of Twenty
second street between Third and
Tenth avenues petitioned the council
to proceed with the paving of the
thoroIghfare by special assess ment,
as provided by an ordinance passed a
few years ago under the old law. The
city attorney was instructed to pro-
coed in the county court to the end
that the improvement be carried out.
F. f. Robbins, who obtained the sig
natures to the petition, stated that
the purpose was to make an effort to
carry the paving on up to Eighteenth
avenue. furnishing direct route to
Reservoir park and another improved
avenue of travel to and from the SUI
