Views of an Alderman.

An alderman conyeTsing on the pump
buying question Saturday night said:
When the council put off the matter
of the closing of the pump deal until the
18th, the representative of the institu
ton that is trying to force the pur
chase of his pump. declared that he
would have something doing by the
time the date arrived TO which the
matter was put off. that would land
two more aldermen, and settle the
question. But what he has undertaken
to do has. if anything, turned feeling
against the pump he represents under
all circumstances. 4 pump that cannot
stand on its own merits is not worth
buying, regardless of the standing OF
the works that produce it. There may
be more back of this deal than people
are aware of if the attempt is made

their wishes
The Argus has. in the past. made
frequent allusion TO the desirability of
the tax payers manifesting deeper in

than they have been doing. When
any negotiations reach the stage where
a city official declares that Rock Island
is going TO buy certain make of pump
or none. and there deyelopes the fea-
ture of undertaking to use the whip
handle on aldermen whose essential
votes cannot be otherwise secured. il is

stant the verdict of guilty was returned
by the jury which has been for five

All the eagerness and suppressed ex-

a sudden realization of the wife grief.
room was swept away in the wave of
pity that surged from every heart when
Emmons. seemingly unmindful of the
decree just received against him, sprang
to his wifes assistance. Every head
was turned and the voice of the Judge
faltered and the proceedings stopped.
The short period engaged in deliberation
conveyed to many of those in attendance
the belief that the jury would return a
verdict of guilty. but Emmons. his wife
and attorneys were to all appearances
as confident as any time during the trial.
Had there been any intimation given of
the result it is probable that friends OF
Mrs. Emmons would have prevailed
upon her to remain away from the court
room during the last trying hours.
1t was $50 when the jury retired for
deliberation and two hours and a halr
later the verdict of guilty was rendered
In the meanwhile the jury had been
served with dinner, so by that time be-
ing given. discussion of the case was
necessarily brief.
Just what transpired in the jury room
probably will remain a secret. before
they returned to the court room .ney

ageement to convey to no living person
an account of the manner in which the
guilt of Emmons was determined. When
they left the court room, after beng

Sheriff who had charge of them for five
weeks. they hurried away in every di-
rection, refusing abso utely to discuss
any feature of the case.
