We believe that a large ma
5ority of the votes cast in favor
Of the school dormitory propo-
sition were cast because the vot
ers expected with the money
secured from the sale Of the
bonds to see d handsome brick
building erected especially for
the purpose and on a site con-
venient 10 the school. We
further believe that if the vot-
ers had thought that the money
would be used for the purchase
OF a frame structure and its
Transformation into a dormitory
with the addition of another
building, that the proposition
would have been defeated. In
other words, we believe that the
voters want something new tor
fheir money, something which
will add to the attractivensss Of
Our-town.

Merely by way Of suggestion
IF the Lines House property
must be had for dormitory If
nothing else will do-why not
reat it from the owner and use
it Tor dormitory purposes alone?
Interest on the bonds will
amount to nine hundred dollars
d year. We understand that
this property reats for six hun
dred dollars a year Thus three
hundred dollars a year can be
saved to the taxpayers. The
Building has served as a dormi-
tory Tor several years past and
part of it has been reserved for
hotel purposes. Now, if you
must have it cut out the hotel
feature and it might be ample
FOR use as a dormitory. As DE
fore remarked, we simply throw
this out as a suggestion to the
town daddies.

light wrappers signify mild cigars or

are made no attention is paid to the

An Episode
a True Story of the vicissitudes
of life in q Penal
Institution.

Several months ago young business
man was received at this institution
and assigned to work in the twine fac
tory. After short time he was ad-
vanced to clerical position where the
labor was lighter-but after six
weeks trial he was suddenly trans
ferred to a place tntailing hard labor.
That night an officer making his
rounds heard sobs and means issuing
faem a cell. He Immediately called
upon the occupant whom he found on
his knees, his head resting upon his
hands on the bed.
1t was the young man above referred
to.
"What's the matter, boy ?" kindly
asked the officer.
The young man looked up, dazed and
somewhat abashed.
"Oh, nothing gmuch-only-I'm so blue
and Respondent. lost my position to-
day and was turnel back to very hard
labor-and never did days work at
hard labor in my life before coming
here. My wife is very iIl-and my boy,
who will take care of him? Oh, am
so bIue-so blue-I feel must end it
ALL can't stand it another 48 hours"
"Hush, my boy, these officers around
here are human
81 believe they are" said the young
man, shut am only number and
they don't KIN Nv me" he sobbed.
.Keep your courage, boy" said the
officer in q friendly manner-"you will
come out all right"
1 "If am criminal" said the young
man, "my superintendent made me
such--and then deserted me-to send
me here. could stand it all, perhaps"
he went on, "if my wife was only well
and my boy safe. And another thing:
I'm afraid I'll be dropped from the
Chautanqua Circle on account of hav-
ing be EN- deposed from my position
J The guard assured him that such
would not be the case-that one man
} was as good as another here as long as
he obeyed the rules.
) Every fifteen minutes during the
} whole Of that night the guard called ut
that young mans Gel and found he was
1 sleeping calmly and quietly.
8 The next night the guard called on
2 the young man again and asked him
how he was fteilng.
10, much better thank yOu-but am
: still worried over my wife and boy. If
t could only know she was getting we'll
: and that my boy was being looked after
: | would. feel as though l could go
f through it all to the end
The officer suggested to him that he
see the Deputy who would no doubt
: grant him special letter or two.

. man said. 81 sent in request for an
It interview and he sent for and received

q as kind to me as father could be. Ny

% sition from which was deposed. And

e did not feel as if / could muster up
D courage to go on much longer-but now
l. shall try hard to keep up my spirits
1t l am so glad to know that | shall moi
be dropped from the membership roll

it streaming down his face.

ir eyes smiling through them-becauss
at he now felt the boy was safe.

'fhe Antithesis KID had disappeared.
OF cuss he was wanted some bad by the
officers, otherwise his disappearance
wudst have past unnuttist. Ite seems
rs how "Antithesis" had cold-decked a
couple of natives in Denver an that is
a shore turrible offence in Colorado, an
there was some talk of calm out the /
to help capshnr him.
Shurlock feelin' as how he would like
to do some good for the offul expunse
of his coming out from Europe, so be
suggusts as how we all go down an's
help 'em catch the "Kid" an the reward |
would help out the expunse list. So |
we all goes down to Denver an i'm
mejetly PURGE eds to solve the mystury. !
AS soon as we starts to the investi-
gashining of the disappearance of the
kid" we finds as how he had dissy-
peared whilst goin' turruds the river. |
So we takes and gives the old hound
dog a scent from ole of the "kid's" old
shoes and the dog soon had the trail.
Now one of tie curyestes things hap
pens here, what goes to show as how
the annymul speeshus are influenced by
contact with the humane speeshus. AS
soon as that old he-hound dog hit that.
trail he turns right around and CON-
mtnees to walk backwards and with all
of our pursuading of him We couldn't
make him walk right end to. This was
some riling at first but We has a little
divurshun when the young hound dog
tries to immytate the old dog. For the.
Turner backs under street car and
gets annyhilated tefore we can reskoo
him from his despurrit position.
The old dog foIlers the trail until he
hits the river, then he backs right off
inter the river an disappears, an OF
cuss we natterly walks down stream
expecting to see him show up an swim
out but we don't see HIDE ner hair of
that hound for sevurrul hours. just
about the time we has all concluded to
give it up an quit we hears the hound
baying away up stream an in few
minnits he comes tearing in amungst
as an has an old black hat in his mouth
which the officers ide ltyfi as belongin'
to the "Kid." We are some mystitied
but as the hound seems purtickulurly
ankshus fur us to foller him we does
an he. Il ads MS off up sire am for about
fifteen miles, and there sure enough OF
sand bar that hound Las dug out the
corpse Of the "Kld."
OF course v e has to call on ShurlOeE
, for him to expIanashun- this affair
which he does by saying as how the
Kid" was so Internally contrary thai
, when he fell in the river au' was drown
ed he f. ated up stlelm against thu
5 current instt ad of down strt am as an.
3 body ell e would do. An when tina
scent was given to the old hound do,
it affected him so that he just natterl,
had to work backwards on it to do an
good.
s Now if this old houni dog had ha,
!. common sence instead of instinck h
!, would have seen that it wasn'tne cesar
to walk tackards an he might a-wen
! straight ahead and lost out, but his in
n stinck was SO strong that he follele ed

. This narrashnn goes to show as no,
instinck is sometimes better than com

from the standpipe.
In conclusion, after carefully re-
viewing the best interests of the city
of Rock Island. we would recommend:
l. That all bids be rejected.
. That plans and specifications he
prepared for mechanical filter plant
to be located upon the hill site III
connection with the present coagula-
ting basins.
5. We would suggest. in order to
avoid needless complications and en-
barrassments, that such plans AMI
specifications be executed in as mucn
detail as possible. especially in tie
selection of equipment and efficieh-
cics, so that the bids can be compa-
ed upon uniform basis of cost and
experience. which was well nigh in
possible in the present instance.
! f. That bids be invited on the plans
and specifications from all of the pres
ent bidders who have made tender;
herewith.
In making this recommendation We
! feel embarrassed because of a seen
| ing lack of consideration for the wori
already performed by the city, but l
conscientious and earnest regard fo'
| the best interests of the city of Roci
Island compelS us to point out tina,
this method of procedure is, in ou'
| opinion, the best one for the city tt
pursue.
We regret that the expense and la
, Dor of preparing so many carefully
detailed plans as have been submitted
by the bidders should go for naught
but we do not see any other courst
out of the difficulty than the recon
lmendations which we offer.
The foregoing is respectfully sub

as well as in cost of pumping the
wash water.
Taken altogether, we are of the
opinion, that the operating expenses
on the hill site will be less than
would be the case if the proposed
plant were installed at the river sta
ton. and that the saving in first cost,
at the present time, as between the
two locations, will be approximately
| $45 900.
Fire Protection.
We have been asked regarding the
effect upon the fire protection OF the
city, that would be occasioned by in
stalling the filter plant on the hill
Instead of at the river station.
In reply, we would state that we are
advised that the city has ordered a
1000, G0O-gallon electrically driven cen
trifugal pump which will be installed
in the high service pumping station
on the hill. This pump, together with
1.-THE one now i'll service, would make II
possible to supply water from this sta
ton at the rate of 100000 gallons
Iper 81 hours.
This high service pumping station
takes water from the clear water ba
sin, of G,000,G00 gallons capacity, and
delivers it to the surrounding high
lying district through a system OF
Ipiping which is Independent and sep
larated from the piping, which conducts
water from the clear water basin
Throughout the major portion of the
lefty. This high service piping is con
nected 10 standpipe, which serves
las a regulator of the pressure through
tout the district so supplied.
In order to obtain an efficient fir,
Lpressure throughout the city, it is sus
gested that a pipe lire. be laid con
Meeting the high and low servic'
mains and place in this connectin:

valve, to be operated. from the higl
service pumping station. Under or
binary circumstances the valve woul,
be closed and the high and low Serv
ice pipe systems would be Independent
but.in case of a fire this valve woult
5e opened and the added pressure pro
duced by the high service pump
would be impaired TO the low service
We understand that the static head
due to the elevation of the clear waite
basin, gives a pressure of IS pound
, per square inch at the Harper house
The pressure maintained at the hlgl
service pumping station is given as 3
pounds per square inch. Under tn
, plan, above proposed. there would b
. an available fire pressure at the Hal
: per house of 93 pounds per squar
f inch, which should be ample. If. how
$ ever, higher pressure than this
. desired. it could be obtained by ten
r porarily shutting a valve between In
a high service pumping station and tn
high service pipe system, letting tn
high service pumps discharge throug
v the proposed pipe line into the 10,

MINISTER ATTACKS
EMANUEL MOVEMENT

According to the Rev. DR.. l. M. Hal
deman. pastor of the First Baptist
Church, New York. if the Emanuel
movement is allowed to continue its
work Il will ruin the church. DIR. Hal
deman was at one time pastor of Della
ware Avenue Baptist Church in this
city.
Mr. Haldeman said the only Church
that would survive would be the Chris
tian Science Church. The minister said
that Il is more Of a peril than Chris
tian Science because the Christian
Scientists have kept apart from the or
thodox church, while the Emanuel
movement was born in the Episcopal
Church and invaded the Baptist ranks.
Through the practice Of hypnotic
healing oiergymen would be subject
ed TO scandal. DIR. Haldeman said, be-
cause Of the tender relationship a
minister comes into with his flock"
Il beg you to turn away from the
Emanuel movement" said the minister
1T will give you salvation in time and
damnation in eternity. The time has
come to rise up and protest against
ministers turning themselves into hyp-
notists and their churches into mental
healing hospitals"
DR. Iialdeman declared the Emanuel
movement zone OF the most accursed
and damnable inventions Of the age"
