was stolen in Davenport last night.
The outfit was taken out during the
day and when the time for the return
came the parties failed to show up.
The horses were valuable and the rig
was a two-seated affair with red run
ming gear and light cushions. The
loss was reported to the police station
in Rock Island at II o'clock last
night. The outfit was valued at $500.
Frank Hunt and Frank Kelly. two
young men from Chicago, had their
baggage replevined by the manage
ment of the Harms today, Constable
Simon Goldberg serving the papers
and taking the grips to the station.
The men were to have accepted posi-
tions at the hotel and their fare was
forwarded to them. On arriving here
they changed their minds and con
cluded they would not go to work. the
management then securing the re-
plevying papers to secure the money
advanced for their fare.

Held for Payment of Old Fine.

The police records show that over a
year ago the plaintiff was arrested for
disorderly conduct, his offense con
sisting in interfering in behalf of an
Indian member of a travelling show
troupe whom an officer was about to
arrest for being drunk and disor-
derby.
Eagle Eye was fined 81 and costs,
and was released upon his own recog-
Enizance. Failure to pay this fine it
seems was the cause of his incarcera-
ton April 6. 1t is charged in the bill
filed today that this action on the
part of the magistrate in imprison-
ing the plaintiff after he had been re-
leased was Illegal and the procedure
as well as the alleged motive is at
tackled.

speaker spoke of the principles of

faith on which the order was based.
and how closely allied they were with
the Christian virtues of the church,
and while the order did not claim the
distinction of religious organization.
yet its influence was for the good

which were also characteristic of the
doctrine of Christianity. He also

Another suit growing out of the

for number of years past. The suit
is one for $4,000 damages for tres

Der and one of the organizers of the
Independent Voters club, an organi-
cation opposed to the political views
of the defendent. This is held as the
reason why the latter April 6. 1903,
or he day before the election issued
an order that was served by an Off
Ger causing the commitment of the
plaintiff to cell at the police sta
ton. where he was kept till the after
noon of April Z, election day. The
bill AYERS that the sole object of the
magistrate in having the plaintiff inn
prisoned was to prevent him from
voting and eXerting his influence at
the polls election day. Having been
released in the afternoon, however, it
would seem that Mr.. Eagle Eye had
an opportunity to vote in spite of the
alleged plot. though the bill does not
touch upon this point.

ALDERMEN INVESTIGATE r..
NEEDS OF NEW ADDITIONS

The council met Saturday afternoon
and went over the south and south
western part of the city for the pur-
pose of giving the members a better
idea of the relative importance of
matters that will come up i'm the con
sideration of the annual appropriation
ordinance this month. The council
first went to the vicinity of the reser-
voir and examined the source of one
complaint, the drainage facilities af-
forded for caring for the water from
the sand washer. Various plans for
taking care of the water were dis
cussed.
Another problem tackled was that
presented by the need for a sewer in
the Black Hawk and adjoining adj
ditions There Mcnamara Brothers
have lumber on the ground for the
erection of 20 dwellings but are pre-
vented from carrying out their plans
by the lack of drainage. a number of
other persons are putting off building
in that vicinity till they are assured
that they viii have way to dispose
of sewage. The aldermen appeared to
favor the plan of City Engineer Treich-
Ter and the sewer, committee to build
a sewer down Eleventh avenue to
Eleventh street and running thence
north to connect with the Fifth ave
nue. sewer west of the low place that
causes so much trouble at the present
time in the vicinity of Twelfth street.
This is planned as a temporary eX-
pedient to be replaced by a drain
running west to the river along Elev-
enth avenue or near it at such time
as the property holders are willing to
assume the expense Of the improve
ment. The last point visited by the
council was the pump house at the
lower end of the Fifth avenue sewer
where the water is lifted over the
flood wall by the city's pump.

mendstions and to make the reforms
suggested.

In the consideration aud discus
sion on the Salaries Bill in the
House last afternoon, Representa-
tive Chillingworth laid great stress
upon the Office, that is, "the salary
is for the Office" and no notice
should be taken OF the person
holding it. While believing that
the salary should be for an Office.
and not for the incumbent, we feel
that the incumbent OF an Office
should have good deal to do with
those who appropriate the salary,
Aud while agreeing with him in
the main, we cannot altogether be.
lieve as he does that the incum-
bent has no bearing whatever over
the salary of the Office held by him
and to be eventually paid him,
when appropriated. We believe in
eumbsnts have everything 10 do
with public salaries. for when they
are Objectionable, it is most distaste-
full to pay them more than they are
worth, aud even according to their
capacity and merit, as in the case in
point Salary of the japanese trans
lator and interpreter" But that
was only one OF few instances in
which the House decreased salary,
but it increased many in several in
stances following the foregoing, the
incumbent being objected to most
strongly, as the course OF the First
Circuit Judge in making the ap.
pointment OF the present incum
bent, only an interpreter and not a
translator, is deemed most distaste
full by members ofthe House, the
judges action in the matter consid
cred dictatorial.

RAN AWAY WlTH ITSELF.

We must confess that we were
badly mistaken and utterly dismay-
cd in the action OF the Hous- yester
day afternoon, for instead OF re-
trenchment, they began increasing
salaries of several country District
Magistrates. AS these salaries are
all classified by these in auth ority,
the House felt thst-it cc uld oyerdo
such Classification by making the
increases, yet we feel that it is not
competaut to make such clsssific-
alton outside OF those IN immediste
authority over them, although we
consider that the Legislature could

do whatever it wanted to in the
premises, as asserted by Represen-
tatiye Kumalas on the floor.

Yer, we we're utterly dismayed in
that the House began the good
work the day before, but yesterday
it retracted and placed itself on re-
cord as not in sympathy with the
public welfare. Many OF the District
Magistrates had held Office for q
long time, and during their tenure
in Office, they have no. seen fit to
resign because of insufficient salary
and have continued in Office ever
since, feeling content that the pay
they had been receiving was quite
ample. And may we ask-why the
increased No tangible argument
was advanced, and the salaries as
classified in the bill, as it c,me from
the Executive, is supported by sta
tistics in the report of the Chief
Justice.
