BOONE POOR LOSERS.
Crowd of Rioters Spend TIE Evening
docking" for Umpire Finn.


Looking" for Umpire Finn.
The Boone base ball enthusiasts are
poor base bali losers, and after the
game Wednesday, number OF the
rooters who had been to witness the
game spent the evening looking for
Umpire M. E. Finn. The Boone men
claim that Flinn's decisions were rot
ten and if they had been fair Boone
would have won. 1t Is the same old
story of being unfair when the decision
does not suit. An umpire does not
suit everyone, no matter how hard he
tries, and in cases of close decisions,
and there were many Wednesday after
noon all an umpire can do is to use
his best Judgment. Manager Reynolds
Of the Boone team, wired President
Norton. at Burlington, after the game,
protesting against Finn as an umpire.
REYNOLDS even went so far as to tell
Norton that he would not permit his
men to play another game umpired by
Finn. Reynolds is feeling better to-
day however.

AT the beginning. I wish to call

it were not such a hardship on the

street improvements faster than we
do. We expect to get the storm and

was operated a total of 6,S45 hours

600 gallons of water. Allowing 10 per

made April 30. At this test ii was
shown that the pump could not eX-

on direct pressure for force. this
means a pump with a capacity of the
domestic consumption plus as many
fire streams as might be put on with
an excess above both to give proper
pressure. In view Of these facts Mr..
Bancroft recommends the installation
of new pump. During the year 9S
meters were installed and 1856 feet
of pipe laid. Mr.. Bancroft recon-
mends the laying of a 16-inch main in

OLD CITY COUNCIL
MAKES WAY FOR NEW
Ordinance for Sewer is Vetoed
Railway Asks Vacation of
Street.

The old made way for the new coun'
ell at the regular monthly meeting OF
the city fathers last evening. The ole
one listened to the annual reports OF
the city clerk and heads of depart
| ments, allowed the monthly pay roll
ordinance and heard a veto of the
mayor of the ordinance for the con-
struction of sewer in block 20, Chi
cago or Lower addition. The Ordin-
ance was shown to contain a number
of Inconsistencies, but the main OBJ
jeeticn of the mayor was that it pro-
vided for private sewer.
y rising vote of thanks was tender
ed the retiring members Of the coun-
Gil on motion of Aid. \. q. Anderson.
y box Of cigars were passed with the
compliments of City Clerk H. C.
Schaffer, after which the council adj
journed sine die. Fifteen minutes
were consumed in introductions and
choosing of seats. When the new
body was called to order by the may
or Aids. j. p. Sexton and William
TrefZ. the democratic members, were
found to have been remembered hand
somely by their friends, each having
on his desk two large bouquets Of
carnations and roses.
The new council heard the annual
address of the mayor, and referred to
Wednesday evening, when n special
meeting is to be held to discuss the
matter of an ordinance of the Daven-
port. Rock Island & Northwestern
railway providing for the vacation of
that portion of FIRST avenue lying
north of the Rock Island q Peoria
tracks, from Thirteenth to West Sew
entcenth streets. 1t is understood the
object is simply to confirm former
grants of the council made to this
company when its former franchises
were passed. While The Argus depre-
Gates the embarrassment of any rail
road corporation that is striving to
improve its facilities, the question in
volved here is too serious a one to be
acceded to without careful investi-
CATION. The council should move slow
~ in the vacation of any street. par
ticularly in the case of such an i'm
portant one as Seventeenth leading to
the river.
The new bandstand in Spencer
square. on which estimates were to
have been presented, will receive at
tention at a subsequent meeting.

Departments Kept TIP.

The police and fire departments have
kept up their standard of efficiency and
performed their duties faithfully and
well. One new hose mouse has been
built on Eighth street for the west end
company at n cost of about $500. The
fire and police equipment are in reas-
cnahly good order. though some new
horses may be necessary. Our dump
boat after the winter showed the eff
fects of age and needed repairs, which,
when started were found to be so ex-
almost rebuild it.
Now gentlemen of the Council and
also those retiring, want to thank you
for the many courtesies extended to
me during the past year Hoping the
year coming will be equally successful
and harmonious. / will take this OPP
portunity to congratulate the City
Clerk on his efficiency and the systc-
matte management of his the most i'm
portant department of the city govern
ment. He has labored under difficulties
in an Office unworthy of city our char
acter. but l have no doubt before three
months are gone he will have an Office
that will have not only light and fresh
air but will also be commodiOus enough
to transact business as we should. I
want to congratulate and thank all
the heads of departments and city en-
ployes for the assistance rendered me
during the year. and will expect the
same faithful service in the year to
come
