NECRESS FOUND
IN SCANT ATTIRE
Picked Up by Police and Shell
tered Last Night From the
Cold and Rain.
TO GO TO THE INFIRMARY
Efforts Being Made to Have Her Sent
to County Institution at Coal
Valley.

Wandering about the streets, at
tired in nothing but 2 thin calico
dress and covered with a worn blan-
ket, Maria Jackson, a negress, was
taken to the police station last even
ing by Officer Meenan, and today,
Miss Dina Ramser is making efforts
20 send her to the county infirmary
at Coal Valley, as she has no visible
means of support. The woman is 65
years old, and for weeks has been
sleeping out in the open, under
trees. She has frightened pedes-
trians at night by her uncouth ap-
pearance The circumstances in her
case are pitiable.
Had the woman been allowed to
follow her usual custom and sleep
in the open last night, she would
probably today be in a serious con-
dition from exposure. 1t seems mi
raculous that she is alive in view of
the life that she has been obliged to
lead of late. She is married, but her
husband contributes little toward her
support.
TO BE SENT HOME.
Shadrach Ditto. an aged man who
was picked up on the streets few
nights ago, will probably be sent
back 20 his home in Indianola, Iowa.
according to plans which are being
made by county officials. The man is
i'll. but is still in condition to travel.
and therefore. rather than place him
in the infirmary, he is to be sent
home

PAVING FIGURES
ARE EXPLAINED
City Engineer Tells Why His
Prepared Estimates Are
Not Too Large.
COSTS NOT EXCESSIVE
II Litigation Arises Amount Would
Be Even Higher-COuncil to
Meet Afternoons.

SAly " dA4dOc
this morning explained his estimates
on proposed new pavings TO which
Commissioner Reynolds took excep-
tion Monday. He showed that in
case of a legal fight that the esti-
mate would possibly be too low. He
explained that the law provides for
deferred interest on the cost of the
improvement at the rate of per
cent. He showed by previous bills,
that the advertising rate was pYactic-
ally correct and that the Inspector s
fee was none too high. And in sum-
ming up his arguments for his esti-
mate, he said that if his figures are
too high and the cost does not come
up to the estimate, there will be a
rebate to the owners. If the esti-
mate is too low and the cost not
covered by the assessment, the city
will either be obliged to pay the def
icit or have reassessment. He show
ed wherein the cost of the work of
like nature in Davenport and Moline
has been higher than that in Rock
Island. His figures in regard to
Fourth avenue and also Sixth ave
nue. were both explained. There was
no action taken on the matter.
WILL MEET IN AFTERNOON.
Because of the inconvenience in
volved in holding the commission
meetings in the morning, Mayor
Schriver instructed ]. F. Witter, city
change the time of meeting TO Mon
day afternoon at 8 o'clock.
Mayor Schriver presented a reso-
luton providing that the mayor and
city clerk be instructed to enter into
contract with the Henion & Hubbell
company of Chicago for the installa-
tion of a centrifugal pump at the wa
terworks. The resolution carried; 4
to J, Reynolds voting no. In doing
so, he said that he is opposed to let
ting the contract because there was
no competition in bidding. The en-
tire cost will approximate 1900.
Mayor Schriver said that the bids had
been advertised twice and that it is
absolutely necessary to install the
pumps directly, as the stage of wa
ter is low, and the pumps are now
lifting it a trifle over 25 feet.
PIGEONS GET ATTENTION.
Because of complaints which have
been made against John Henry, own
er of a large flock of pigeons, the
council will hold a special session
next Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock to
hear the complainants. If it is found
that the pigeons are a nuisance, ac-
tion will be taken.
FIRE CHIEF TO MILWAUKEE.
Fire Chief George Newberry will
be sent to the national convention Of

struction and of great benefit to
those who attend, it was voted to
appropriate $50 toward defraying
the expenses of Chief Newberry The
vote was unanimous and was taken
on motion of Commissioner Hart,
who explained that it was not
pleasure jaunt. The amount will
not pay the expenses, but Chief New
berry has expressed Willingness to
make up the remainder. Besides
railroad fare and hotel expenses the

in diminishing numbers. The fresh

Similar conditions exist in all of the
grade schools, the majority of the
rooms in nearly every building being
