Bills, of the Union Electric Tele phone
and Telegraph company, whose in
vited guests the aldermen were, ar
rived in the CITY last night, having
remained in Chicago during Sunday.
The towns visited were those an
nounced in TIE ARGUS on the dav of
the party's eparture-Beloit, James
vile and Madison, Wis, and Fl.
Wayne and Lafayette. Ind. In each
city there are two telephone plants,
one operated by the Bell and the other
independent. The trip was made at
the solicitation of Mr.. Bills, who
wished to show those of the alder
men who had not had the
benefit OF personal investiga-
ton the merits of the indepen-
dent movement in few of the cities
in which the Bell people have met with
competition. The aldermen say it was
not an official junket. They went as
individuals to satisfy themselves on
disputed points that have arisen in
cident to the local independent agita
ton. They will not have any official
report TO make to the council. so they

accompanied Mr.. Bills. three voted
against the Union Electric COM
pany's ordinance and two for it.
Whether any OF these gentlemen had
their opinions or views altered by
what they saw away from home re-
mains for time to tell. The aldermen
have tacit agreement not to discuss
the trip in the newspapers until they
have held Il formal meeting of them
selves and vo;ed as to whether they
now favor or oppose rival exchange
in Rock Island.
BilIs & Wortham's Plants.
However, one of the aldermen told
an ARGUS reporter that the independ-
ent exchanges at Beloit and james
Vile, which were built by Bills &
Workman, were first class in every
respect. and were giving excellent
service and good satisfaction both to
patrons and stockholders. He said the
aldermen did not inspect independent
plants exclusively. They also visited
the Bell exchanges and went among
the business people of the towns and
solicited their views.
The party visited in Chicago Thurs
day and Saturday evenings. The
aldermen tell story on Aid. Willis,
VINO, they say, lost his rubbers chas-
ing after tire wagon that was re-
spending to an alarm on State street.
While in Wisconsin Aids. Soderstrom
and Concannon were delegated to call
on the governor OF the state aud pre-
sent the compliments of the Rock ISL
the governor could not
be located.
The city council meets again to-
night. but it is not thought any action
on the telephone question will be
taken. 1t is understood that the
Union Electric company will not re-
new its application for a franchise
until later meeting.

Saturday night was an enjoyable
event on the Hill, the occasion being a
party at the home of Mrs. Gross.
Everybody that attended report good
time.
We think it is about time to give
another hint concerning our road that
wends its way to DEBORAH. The bridge
that was put down near Hollands is
certainly nothing better than mass
of rocks thrown together, instead of
being laid, which acts as foundation
for the travelling public. The present
deplorable condition of the bridge will
last only courle more weeks, and the
pathmaster's attention should be called
to it Immediately. It's shame that
Clay Hill cannot have road that the
people can travel over in safety.
Joe Rastetter's little boy that broke
his arm is improving rapidly.
Indications are that we will get a
telephone.
Today's rain will make the grass
and cereals fairly Jump from the ground
iffollowed by warm weather.
John Scion is working for Frank
Tyler.
Adam Wepler is once more on the
Hill, and will work his farm this sum-
mer, but we understand he will be a
resident of Dscorah.
Joseph Stitch moved to DEBORAH last
