The owners or tenants of property, OPP

were given two weeks in which to re-
move the trees for their own use. After
that time tn were to be Immediately
taken for pi )lic use.
Before the above order went into ef-
feet, however, two petitions were pre-
sented to Council, signed by numerous
persons, requesting Council to recon-
slider their action. The owners Of
trees were not disposed to allow their
removal without at least making an
effort to save them and engaged Ken
sey Johns, then chief justice of the
Supreme Court, to represent their in
terests. Despite their efforts the order
went into effect. Then came the strug-
gle. The love for the trees prevailed
over love or Difference to the law, and
mutterings were heard, and threats of
Interference If the dear old trees"
planted by loving hands, and which
had been the pride of the owner from
boyhood.. were disturbed.

On Market street above Fourth
where the old Delaware Gazette office
formerly stood, lived one Of the influ-
ential citizens of the borough, who
determined that his trees should not
be removed. Accordingly he took his
station near them to watch over and
protect them from the hands Of the
ruthless woodman. When the demoli-
tion commenced this gentleman clung
Tightly to the tree, so that if the stroke
of the axe fell it should first strike him.
and as the woodman with his axe pass
ed from tree to tree the owner would
follow and clasp each fallen tree low
lingly. This was the attack and de-
fense carried on for some time. but the
arm of the law being stronger. our
forefather, the owner. retired to the
house, disgusted with the workings of

That our forefathers in the early
primitive days had none of the con-
veniences and comforts we enjoy in
this advanced age cannot be more
clearly demonstrated than by the fact
that the first hydrant for kitchen Use
was introduced in Wilmington as far
back as 1919. On September of that
year Joseph Bringhurst petitioned the
Borough Council for the right to intro
duce the spring water which was then
the source of water supply, into his
kitchen and at a meeting almost two
months later the Z ltition was granted.
The request way allowed. with the
proviso that the work OF carrying the
water into the letltioner's kitchen be
done under " superintendent of a
committee.
This, then fair to suppose was the
first hydrant introduced for use in the
kitchen I'm Wilmington, and required
the due and careful consideration Of
the members of the committee ap-
pointed to investigate and report on
the request.
Trees Made Water Scarce.
water was in those days a serious
problem for our forefathers TO solve.
There was continually a short supply.
The springs, of which there were two,
began to run low and various reasons
for this condition were assigned, some
OF the citizens believing that the
growth of Lombardy poplars in prox-
unity with the spring water works
conduits and cisterns and something
to do with it.
A committee composed of Jacob AL
rich. Ziba Ferris and Cyrus Newlin
was appointed by Council to investi-
gate the matter and at a subsequent
meeting of that body a resolution was
unanimously adopted to the effect that
no tree shall be suffered to grow in the
public streets. lanes or alleys Of the

TWO REPUBLICAN COUNTY,
TICKETS FILED IN KENT
Will Run Separate County
Ticket to Defeat the Ad-
dicks Legislators
Special to Tho Evening Journal.


Dover, oct. 19.-The Republican
county committee Of Kent county re-
fused, after long consultation yester-
day, to surrender in any particular to
the Union Republicans, or to yield one
iota In their opposition to Addicks.
The Republican state ticket. headed
by Preston Lea. in the making Of
which they had little II any part, they
endorsed and filed last week. Yester-
day, the last day given under the
twenty-day limit they spent in long
debate over the question Of running
separate candidates-thOse selected by
their recent county convention here
or placing upon their ticket the names
Of the Union Republicans.
There never once seemed to be any
question about their running separate
Legislative ticket to defeat the Ad-
dicks legislators.
Finally, after one adjournment for
dinner and allowing time to elapse un-
til it appeared that they would be too
late, they prepared and placed in the
hands of their chairman and secretary
an entirely separate county ticket
The Republicans made only one
change from their convention program.
They decided that a serious mistake
might be made by contributing to the
election OF a Democratic Levy Court
and they therefore decided to file the
names of the Union Republican NOM
mees for the Levy Court in the Third,
Fifth and Seventh districts, sections
where they might be able to either
elect or defeat the Union nominee. Thus
they hope TO insure the Levy Court to
the Republicans.
Chairman Jenkins and Secretary Ca
hoon had TO resort to some physical
exertion in finally getting their ticket

The Kidneys are by all odds the most inn

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-05-27

The action of the convention in
naming new county committeeman
and in resembling the cali for late
county convention TO nominate county
officers bore further evidence CT the
grasp Of the convention Of the real
condition of affairs III Rock Island
county, and suffice is it 40 say the rout
of the would-be leader Of Rock Island
city and county democracy was so
complete that he did not have even a
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-05-27

sufficient number of stragglers to hold
a rump convention as had been con-
templated. The country. like Rock
Island. was solid against him. Moline
was practically likewise, and added TO
this, there was nothing TO show as
the result of his brace caucuses in
Rock Island. Those democrats, in
standing whose names he had used
without authority, of course, refused
to appear. and the others not so well
known declined to rally in a losing
game Ia the daylight.
The loyalty of the country dele
gates. as well as the country commit
teemen. to the spirit of true democrat
CIV in Rock Island from first to last
was inspiring. resulting in the cement
ing of bonds of good feeling between
city and country quite in contrast
with the result of the late republican
in Rock Island county.
That the convention was absolutely
free from machinery and that the
voice of the majority of the delegates
was given without dictation in any
form is shown in the outcome Added
to this happy condition was the adj
vantage that Mr.. Cavanaugh presented
in model chairman, fair minded, yet
fully versed in all that becomes a pre-
siding officer.
The wisdom of securing a force of
deputy sheriffs in the interests of or
der instead of police in league with
Looney was amply shown. With such
assurances manifest at the outset
that the convention would be control
ed by the majority and by fairness, the
ruIe-by-riot element soon gave up and
faded away.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1904-05-27

has served IN that capacity the
past two years, and he was
elected unanimously by a rising vote
Of the delegates.

ing been completed, a motion 10 adj
