Resignation of Patrolman

Commissioners.

Force Should Receive
Higher Wages.
TO DISCUSS SALARIES

To take the place of Benjamin F.
Harper, who was released from the
police department, because of conduct
unbecoming an officer, Frank Schroe-
der, was appointed by the board of
police commissioners last night, fol
lowing the acceptance of Harper's res
ignation. Mr.. Schroeder has never
served on the force before, except as
an extra patrolman during the Fall
Festival. He will go on duty tonight
No action regarding the purchase
of a motorcycle for the department
was taken, because James Z. Fry, a
member of the board was out of the
city.
President Tiff, of the commission,
said today a special meeting would be
called upon Mr.. Fry's return to dis
cuss raising the salaries of the pa
trolmen, and to take steps to pre-
vent speeding.
increase Not Asked.
The board does not believe, said
Mr.. Iliff that 19 cents an hour is
enough money for the paIroiman, and
that some action should be taken. He
said it was hardly probable that ac-
ton would be taken since the board
did not wish to advise the coming ad-
ministration regarding the conduct of
the city government. Consideration
| of salaries, according 20 Mr.. ll1T, is
a voluntary action on the part Of the
/ board. as no demand has been made by
| the officers.

CHARITIES IN NEED
OF WINTER FUNDS
Report of Treasury Shows
Deficit of Organization
to Be $50.

A deficit of $50 in the funds of the
Associated Charity was reported by
the financial secretary at the monthly
meeting held in the charity headauar-
ters. q South Fifth street, and an ear
nest appeal for the assistance OF the
citizens to relieve the conditions was
sent out.
1t was reported that there was S112
in the treasury and outstanding bills
of 1892 were brought in.
During the month of October, sew
eral cases which needed assistance
came before the charities, several OF
which were presented in the secre-
tary's report The following is the re-
port in part:
"One family had four sick at home,
one was taken to the hospital, and the
daughter that nursed the sick ones at
home was taken sick and had to be
taken to a brothers to be cared for.
IN two families living in one
house, the one down stairs and the
other upstairs being related, the
bread winner in both were down sick
one with typhoid fever and the other
had inflammatory rheumatism.
Another family that came to ouI
city some months ago, having lost ev
erything by the flood, where they had
been living, were found in great need
The man is both able and willing tc
| work but has not had sufficient EN-
| ployment to keep the wolf from the
door We helped them to get onto
| their feet.
Another family needed our atten
ton on account of the illness of the
mother. She was taken to the hospl
| tai and the three children sent to the
! Home for the Friendless to receive the
proper care. The father is making S
/ a week of which amount 81 had tc
be paid for the keeping of the wife
and mother at the hospital.
MANY more cases might be men
toned.
1T shows how great the need anC
| how necessary it is to carry on thl;
work with greater earnestness thai
ever before"

been to put down macadam street

authorities insist that a deeper mac

is necessary to make them service

and this is quite true, when streets
receive no better attention than ours
do.
Il know that streets with shallow
macadam surface. even less than the
surface on the majority of our streets,
can be made just as serviceable as
streets constructed with. deep mac

which will give constant attention &c

The LaVita mans stomach prep

ing such a furore among the people,
and which is being introduced at his
headquarters, is practically new rem
edy. 1t was first introduced by La
Vita some years ago, and during that
short time has made him a fortune
His method of introducing the remedy
is unusual, to say the least. LaVita
is noted for his philanthropy and his
regard for the poorer classes of peo-
pie and insists on travelling as he does
in order to come in close contact with
the people of small means whom he
wishes to benefit.
Although very busy, the LaVita man
this morning gave five minutes of his
time to a discussion of his work in
Rock Island. He was asked: How
do you account for your extreme pop
ularity in the cities you visit and the
immense interest you a-ouse so quick
ly?"
With smile. he replied: Amy pop
ularity which | may acquire while trav-
cling is not by any means due. to my
personality. Ali success which has

tune in having obtained the formula

SEASONING.
The aim with the majority OF
housekeepers is to have the food taste
good Many inexpensive flavorings
are used in meat and soup dishes,
| such as carrots, saffron, onions, tur-
nips, garlic, bay leaves and celery,
celery seed or celery tops, which may
| be dried and kept the entire winter.
| There is very little excuse for poorly
| seasoned food with these common ma
workings within reach of every one.
Vary them to suit the different foods,
meats or soups cooked. 1t is an art
to season food, and can only be learn.
| ed by care and practice.
USE OF STALE BREAD.
| Never throw away a piece of bread,
no matter how small or dry. 1t may
be used in all sorts of ways, as stuff
ing for poultry, meats and fish, escal-
loped dishes and buildings. Toasted
or fried with soups, it is better than
crackers. Dry and roll and put
through the food chopper; keep in
bag or jar and the crumbs will be
ready for use at once for frying egg
plant, fish, etc.
