A POINTER FOR TOOL BUYERS
The Keen Kutter Brand Represents
the Standard.

There is probably nothing in which
quality is more important than in tools.
Yet the quality of tool is not appar-
ent to the eye, and even the experience
ed buyer must take chances unless he
relies upon a brand which guarantees
reliability
But there is really no need for any
one to buy any kind of tool blindly.
The Keen Kutter brand which has rep
resented the standard of America for
80 years, covers every kind of tool.
BY simply keeping in mind when
buying, the name of Keen Kutter, any
man may buy any sort of tool with full
assurance of lasting satisfaction.
The Keen Kutter line of tools was
awarded the grand prize at the worlds
fair, st. Louis. This is the only award
of the kind ever made to a complete
line of tools.
If your dealer does not keep Keen
Kutter tools, you may make sure of
being supplied by writing to the Sim
mons Hardware company. st. Louis, or

CITY COUNCIL TAKES ACTION
Special Counsel Enoaqed to Assist
in Fighting Storm Drain
Case.

VINO are the resident official repre-
sentatives of the various railway com
panies entering Rock Island?
That is one of the important ques
tons that the police of the city will
be called upon to decide in the neal
future under a resolution adopted by
the city council last night. If trains
block the streets. particularly Seven
teenth and Eighteenth streets, the Off.
cial representative of the offending
company living in this city must be
arrested and not only arrested but
fined. The council has ordered it and
the court before whom the case is
brought must heed.
The question arose through the res
olution of Aid. O'Connor who desired
that the ordinance prohibiting the
blocking of streets by trains for more
than five minutes at a time be enforc-
ed, particularly at the foot of Seven
teenth and Eighteenth streets where
those going 10 and from the ferry were
frequently held "15 TO 20 minutes"
He said that the ferry company had
exhausted it's resources and was I'M
able to get any satisfaction. Ferry
well enough. but there were 50 many
new railroad men coming TO town that
il was impossible to keep up with the
procession in the matter of compli-
ments of that sort and every day there
are one or more trains found violating
the ordinance, the crew. by inference,
waiting for fresh supply of ferry
passes. In Davenport that sort of trou-
BILE is not encountered for the ordin-
ances are enforced there and if a train
is found in the way of pedestrians
the brakeman is promptly arrested.
Proposes Substitute.
Aid. Sexton took the floor and at
the end of a somewhat lengthy argu-
ment he proposed "as a substitute that
a policeman be kept stationed at Sew
enteenth and Eighteenth streets and
instructed TO arrest not members of
the offending train crews, but the off
cial representatives" of the cOmpan
les whose trains block the streets. In
that form the council approved of the
resolution. with several voting nay.
Chief interest in the proceedings of
the council centered in the report of
the committee on special counsel for
the defense of the city III the storm
drain case which comes up for trial
May % and which Matthias Schnell
seeks recovery for the construction of
the notorious drain. Aid. Anderson
presented the report, which stated that
a meeting had been held with the spe
cial counsel retained by the last ad-
ministration and that propositions had
been relieved from Sweeney & Walker
for the services of c. L. WaIs~ 90
from the firm of Searle & Marshall for
the services of Judge c. J. Searle. IT
was stated that Mr.. Walkers fees up
TO the actual beginning of the trial in
court would be S400 and a per diem
of $25 for time actually spent in the
trial. Mr. Searle's fees would be $3.50
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1905-05-09

for services up to the beginning of the
trial and S25 per day during the hear
ing of the case. The committee rec
commended the engagement of the two
attorneys in question. In the discus.
sion il was stated that the fees and
per diem were what is usually charged
in private cases OF the kind and the
council voted 10 adopt the report OF
the committees.
For Better Sidewalks.
A move for better sidewalks was in
augurated largely through the recon-
mendation of Mayor McCaskrin. who
pointed out the advantage in having
uniform concrete walks wherever pos
sible. A petition for the construc-
ton of such walks on Forty-second
street brought the matter up. 1t was
finally agreed to instruct the aldermen
TO bring in all petitions for sidewalks
desired this season at the next meeting
of the council so that the cost could
be figured out and an ordinance adopt
ed covering all the work
An ordinance was presented by Aid
Sexton, providing for the appointment
of a board of three park commission
ers to have charge of all parks and
public squares in the city and TO serve
without salary. Under the provisions
they are to be appointed by the mayor
with the approval of the council. for
a term of two years. The ordinance
laid over under the rules.
Reward for VandaIs.
In this occasion Mayor McCaskrin
took occasion TO observe that cases of
vandalism in the parks had become
frequent of late and he stated that
ne as mayor would offer a reward of
s25 for evidence leading to the convic-
ion of offenders of this character.
Park Commissioner c. F. Gaetjer
brought to the attention of the council
he need of lights in LOngview park,
that at least three ought
o be placed Mayor McCaskrin agreed
O investigate and report at the next
Meeting.
Aid. Eckhart raised the question OF

ion of this vexing question as early |
s possible. Mayor McCaskrin replied
