OFFICER MAKES 4 RA|DONOP|UM
 JOINTS
Opium Den Raided at Phoenix and White Men Under
 Arrest.

PHOENIX, July 4.-To Officer Moore is due the credit of breaking up the opium joints in this city. He has been actively engaged in the past few months running down the owners of these vile places, and this morning another was added to the list.
 Some time ago the officer detected layout in an alley between Jackson and Madison streets running from Fifth to Sixth streets, but never had an opportunity of finding any white people in the place. Nevertheless, the opportunity presented itself this morn ing when he raided the place and ar rested a white man named George Foster, who was hitting the pipe, and the proprietor, whose name is Chinese Doe,
 An entire opium outfit was found on the premises. Both were taken to the city jail and locked up pending who was smoking opium, said this morning that he was not feeling well and thought that if he would take to smoking it would revive him. He fur ther stated that he had never used the dope before. but from his appearance it is very obvious that the man is an habitual smoker of the hop.
 The proprietor of the joint Is one of those small, peaked old Chinamen, and his place was suitably adapted to the purposes of an opium joint. He conducts a chair manufacturing es- tablishment in one part of the build ing and the other part is used for a | den.
 Chinese Dick, who conducts a store in Chinatown and is the legal adviser of that settlement, said this morn. ing that he had pleaded with ths chink on several occasions to stop his practice of running an opium joint but his pleadings were of no avail.

CLASS farewell
Seniors of Augustana College in
Annual Exercises at
the Chapel.
PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
Both Serious and Ridiculous Sides of
School Life Used for Entertain
ing Purposes by Members.

The class day program of the grad
IN last evening at the college chapel,
attracted a large gathering that filled
Every available seat, and even stand
.ng room was at premium. The
chapel had been tastefully decorated
for the occasion by the members of
the junior class in honor of the grad
yates. In prominent place in the
draped colors of the senior class was
placed the class motto, Live and Help
Live" The college colors were given
prominence woven in with the class
cOlors of sky blue and yellow.
The program opened with the salu-
tatory, by Adolph F. Johnson. Mr..
Johnson, in the course of his remarks,
spoke of the two fold feeling of joy and
sadness that comes over the graduate
when commencement is actually reach
ed. He paid high tribute to the class
of '07, and gave them a bit of advice as
to their conduct as successors of the
graduating class.
Drama in Four Acts.
A selection by the Wennerberg cho-
rus of the college was followed by
historical sketch of the class, by the
class historian, j. l.. Larson. He liken-
ed the history of the class to the action
of a drama in four acts. The reading
of the history was followed by a clar-
met solo by Oscar Purn.
An grafton, on the subject, The In
SEPARATION Point" by E. c. Carlson, was
one of the features of the program.
Mr. Carlson again demonstrated his
ability as an orator. He was the win
ner of the oratorical contest at the
college last year. He spoke of the in
spiration of natures beauties, of
paintings and literature, but held the
highest inspiration to come from spirit

tie Myers, in her class prophesy. In
her imagination she pictured very
different future for the students than
that to which they have been looking
forward in their own minds.
The concluding number of the pro
gram was the class song, composed by
Miss Josephine Mirfield, sung by the
class.

to the seminary. The two ladies or

PAVE 9TH AVENUE
Ordinance Providing for Portion
OF Work Passes City
Council.
FROM 18Th TO CITY LIMITS
Resolution Adopted Instructing the
Mayor to Report on the ColIec-
tons on the Ambulance.

An ordinance was passed by the city
council at its adjourned meeting last
evening providing for the pavement of
Thirty-eighth street, between Fifth and
Seventh avenues, and Seventh avenue
from Thirty -eighth to Forty-sixth
street, or the dividing line between
Rock Island and Moline. While a large
number of expensive improvements
have been laid out for this year, some
of which will undoubtedly have to be
denied on account of lack of funds, it
is hoped that the work of improvement
of Seventh avenue may be undertaken
at once. Only one section of it has
been laid out for completion at this
time, the remainder from Thirtieth to
Thirty-eighth street, having been left
for next year
Ask for Report.
Alderman Benson offered a resolu-
ton, which was passed, instructing the
mayor to present an itemiZed report of
the ambulance fund for the past year
No report has been filed at any time
anywhere with reference to the collec-
lions for the use of the ambulance I'M
der the present administration, and the
aldermen evidently have come to the
conclusion that they ought to hear
something about what is being done
with the money.
The mayor also failed to act upon
the resolution of the council to the eff
feet that the horses in the No. hose
house should be given to the street de
partment and the patrol team transfer
red to the fire department, the single
horse which has been in use for pleas
ure driving and kept at the Cralle barn
at the city'S expense to be returned TO
the police department where it be-
longs. Upon this failure, the council
passed another resolution last evening
instructing the mayor to make this
change Immediately, and one ordering
the city clerk to notify Cralle & Co.
that the city will no longer be respon-
single horse.
Purchasing Committee.
Alderman Lawler offered an ordn-
ance providing for the election of a
purchasing committee by the council,
this committee to have the power of
purchase of the articles for all depart
ments except the water works, in case
the bills are for less than 800. The
ordinance was laid over under the rules
and will come up again at the next
meeting. So,
There was no discussion of the tel
ephone matter, the question of appeal
ing the case having been left in the
hands of the finance committee.

CLEMENTS TRUNK ROAD" IDEA

One of the heavy notes in Clements
refrain is the trunk road idea.
Just put him in governor and he
win cut down the states running ex-
p snses thousands of dollars, he says,
by his own perfected system OF pur-
chasing and accounting.
Very well. Everybody would be
glad to have things run more econom-
ically-providing it could be done
without detriment to the public sery-
ice.
But Percy doesn't stop there. Such
step.as mere economy-the saving
of money to the state-isn't spectacular
enough tor him. He is going to save
in order TO spend.
And for what? Trunk roads. sir
The thousands OF dollars realized by
firing some state officers. cutting down
the salaries OF others, buying of the
lowest bidder and all-around cheese
pairing isn't going back into the peo-
pies pockets. Not on your life It's
going into trunk roads.
Now what is trunk roadP It's a
road built straight through a travelled
portion of the state, connecting GER
tain cities or towns, and is for the con-
venienee Of through traffic, more es-
peoially.
Trunk roads have been proposed, to
extend from st. Adams TO Bennington
via Burlington and Rutland, on the
west side, and from Newport via st.
Johnsbury and the Connecticut valley
to Bellows Falls and Brattleboro on
the east side. Others have been sug-
gested reaching from Bellows Falls to
Rutland; from Wells River to Bur-
lington via Montpelier and still fur
ther north, crossing the state east and
west

Asuses:AT RUTLAND.

The committee investigating state
institutions has opened another chap
ter, dealing especially with alleged
abuse Of prisoners at the house OF cor
Yection. Some very unsavory state
ments have been made respecting the
treatment accorded by keepers and at
tendants to unruly or unfortunate in
mates. or those that have incurred the
III will ofthe masters at this institution.
Now Just word OF warning to the
public-don't swallow ofi.hand all the
stories told. They may be true; then
again they may not. The veracity OF
many who find their way to the house
of correction is open to question, and
those with any grievance at all may be
actuated by spirit OF revenge IN Civ
ing testimony. This is not said with
any idea OF covering up the evil doors,
or of whitewashing anybody, but sim
ply that conclusions may be reached to
correspond with the actual truth.
Our own opinion has long been that
the house OF correction bellies its name.
As conceived and conducted, it is moth
ING short OF an absolute prison, and
without even some OF the corrective
qualities of regular penitentiary.
Tae system itself is wrong and bound
to produce poor results. II is beyond
the power Of the superintendent and
his assistants, however efficient, TO
keep things neat and orderly and 10
lead hayward men and women TO
right paths with the incongruous ma
terial that is dumped upon them, with
the inadequate accommodations and
facilities at their command, and with
the necessity of making the institution
pay as much as possible ever staring
them in the face. 1t may be that even
allowing for this there is shortcoming
on their part. If so, put the reform
broom in quick. But in the end It
will be found necessary to take mp the
whole system OF penal correction and
straighten it out by legislation better
adapted to the needs in view. The
more light that can be had by means
OF critical investigation the better for
the task ahead.

A SHOT THAT MISSES.

The Clement literary bureau is
scattering its shot to a noticeable
degree. hence it is not strange that
some of its volleys sheer pretty wide
OF the target. For instance, the charge
that the failure OF the legislature OF
1902 to redeem the Republican party
nromise OF caucus law was the
particular sin OF the straight Republi-
can members. and done for some
sinister purpose is not at all borne
ont by the facts in the case. The
whole subject was sidetracked-all
hands willing-a d interest centered
on the more pressing matter Of license
legislation until so late moment that
it came near being overlooked entirely
Then, in the closing hours. a caucus
bill passed the Senate, but the House
by a narrow margin, refused concur
renee. Those in opposition to II
were Democrats and Clement Republi-
cans who baked at certain of its pro-
visions that they thought gave the
old-liners some advantage. We never
laid this sp against them, for the
measure was really very faulty. But
they offered nothing better themselves
lin fact, seemed disposed to shy at
the whole subject. The regular Re
publicans at least tried to do some
thing, and nobody can Tow truthfully
base a plea for the Clement cause on
what was not done by the legislature
of 1902 in caucus regulation.

even with the advance in lighting
rates.
Meanwhile a private concern had
brought electricity TO the town for
power purposes. and when. about a
year ago, the municipal plant was
burned. it stood ready to provide the
current. aud did so. as the News says,
satisfactorily 10, year. The com
pany has just taken contract to con

Mortified has it. Bat the village
doesn't own or operate the generating
plant, which is the uncertain factor
in al electric systems. and its voters
appear better satisfied to have it that
way.
The experience of Northfeld, like
that OF other villages OF its size, has
not been a happy one with the
problem of equipping and conducting
an electric plant and system owned
b the village. Many elements enter
TO bring about such a result. The
town that has private capital waiting
to embark in the electric business
will find it a safe plan to pursue to
get its lighting done under franchise
and contract, rather than to under
take it itself.
