IN APPRECIATION
OF LONG SERVICE
Hawthorne School Teachers
Express Regret at Retire
ment of Mr.. Daugherty.

| Teachers of the Hawthorne school
who for years have worked under the
leadership of l.. c. Daugherty, who
has resigned after AZ years service in
the public schools, submit the follow
ing:
Mr. Daugherty has resigned" AS
these words were passed from lip to
| lip they conveyed deepest regret. BY
this resignation Rock Island loses
| from its corps the oldest active school
mana most efficient instructor-one
who ever held the highest ideals be
fore both the students and teachers
under his supervision.
AS some one has said, you could not
be associated with Mr.. Daugherty any
length of time without aspiring to
greater truths, gained only by contact
with one whose every day life was en-
blematic of loyalty and honor.
Mr. Daugherty was conservative to
the extent of weighing all questions
from every point of view; giving his
decision only after complete delibera-
ton necessary to promote fairness and
honorable means. In all cases under
all circumstances was he the firm sup
port of his teachers who were able lin
but a poor manner) to express their
appreciation for his earnest and untir-
ing efforts in their behalf.
Mr. Daugherty has been in the
Hawthorne school for % years; in fact.
we are appalled, when we ponder
moment and realize as a community
what this means. 1t means this: That
this city has scattered within its
bounds citizens who are now rejecting
the teaching of this earnest man;
teachings which were gained in their
childhood but which can never be for
gotten.
Mr. Daugherty is responsible for
hundreds of our best citizens. We do
not need to establish tribute to Mr..
Daugherty for all around him and us
are living examples of his true worth
such as are exemplified in the hearts
and lives of the youth of Rock Island.
This is compensation enough, we are
assured he would say.
Hawthorne will never be the same
Mr.. Daugherty gone-but the rules and
regulations established during his long
term will continue and will mirror
him.
Mr.. Daugherty is several years
young. We will miss his daily pres
ence, his advice, his ever helping
hand-but still we appreciate that we

four THINGS TO
DO FOR INJURED
City Health Commissioner Gives
First Aid Directions in
Case of Accident.

DR. G. G. Craig, commissioner of
health, today called attention to the
danger of Fourth of July accidents
and gave directions for first aid treat
ment He said:
while there will probably be fewer
deaths and injuries from Fourth. of
July accidents this year than any pre-
vious year, because the public is re-
alizing the benefit of a sane Fourth
celebration. there is liable, in spite
Of everything, to be some injuries.
Wounds by firecrackers and by gun
shots, especially blank cartridges, are
very likely to contain the germs of
tetanus, or lockjaw, a deadly disease.
Such wounds should be treated by a
competent physician, but they some
times occur when it is hard to get
such attendance. The following rules
for dressing such wounds should be
followed:
Il. Thoroughly clean the wound,
removing every particle of foreign
matter. laying it open if necessary.
80 Dry the wound thoroughly and
paint it and the surrounding parts with
iodine.
%. Dress wound with antiseptic
dressing, such as alcohol or % per
cent solution of carbolic acid in glycer-
inc Keep dressing wet with the anti
septic loose wet pack, kept moist with
alcohol or boric acid solution.
~. Go to a competent physician,
who will inject tetanus serum. This
can be obtained at any hour at the po-
lice station. Do not fail to do this,
for it may mean the difference between
life and death"

port of this motion should be taken as
true. the language and conduct of Mr..
Wood was somewhat earnest and like
" his course persistent in securing the
testimony of various witnesses; but
there is no affidavit showing. (nor is
there a suggestion that l have heard)
that by the means used by Mr.. Wood
any witness was induced to tell any
thing that was not true or that any
witness shaded or enlarged upon the
truth. Even if the states attorney
were persistent or emphatic in the
treatment of witnesses l am unable to
conceive how anybody was harmed
by It. In fact. from personal expert
ence ] know it is often true that in the
examination of witnesses before grand
juries the truth can only be extracted
by the most persistent means.
IF by these affidavits IL had been
made to appear that witnesses were
induced to tell what was not true
very different question would be pre-
scented. / do not think there is any
thing in the conduct of Mr.. Wood be-
fore the grand jury so far as there is
any showing made by the affidavits
filed in support OF this motion that
even initiates against the sufficiency
of this Indictment.
Indictment Good.
las TO the matters of form, | am not
ready to dispose of any of these in
dictment- except the last one argued.
Perhaps in view of the fact that the
trial of this case is soon coming on
ant. that there is a possibility of what
say coming to the ears of prospective
jurors. il would be unwise for me to
discuss the merits of the averments,
or what facts | understand 10 be
averred. or what the legal effect of the
of fact is. All l will say
a bout the form of this Indictment is
that / think the indictment and each
count of il charges a violation OF sec
ton &c of the criminal code, and that
il is a good indictment.
The motion 10 quash this indict-
ment is therefore overruled.
Sweeping Indictment.

court sustained, is the most sweeping |
which was returned by the January !

JOHN MUIR ONE OF MOTHER
 NATURES BRIGHTEST PUPILS.

TN THE SCHOOL kept by Mother Nature there. l have been few more apt and studious pu-. pills than John Muir, geologist, explorer and naturalist who was born in Dunbar, Scotland seventy-six years ago to-day. Spartan simpic7 ity marked the early training of John Muir whose youth was spent on sa sbackyuoods farm in Wisconsin, where his father Scotch covenan- ter had emigrated. The life was hard and the hours of labor long, but the youth thrved in body and mind and found firne in the early morning hours to read the Bible Burns, Mil ton, Shakespeare and the few other volumes in the famil y library. Later he attended the Uni versity of Wisconsin, vhefe his natural passion for botany, geology and natural history was fos- tered and developed. He was still in his teens when he set soutson his first long expedition, tramping over athonsand miles from Wiseon- sin to Florida From there he went to Cuba, and thence sailed to Cal fornia- Arriving at San Francisco, he wasted no time in the city, but Immediately Y struck out on shank $ mare'' for the mountains He wandered through the San Joaquin and Yosemite valleys, then almost |uninhabited and over the mountains, going where no white man had ever set foot, and dis towering in the Sierras many glaciers previous ly unknown.

THE MATERIAL VALUE OF BEAUTY

TIT USED often to be remarked that Beauty is 1 asluxury. This spirit has made the ma jority Of American towns quite ugly Mean while, as education advances and people travel. they learn that good taste is not costly. Also uglinesss is often terribly expensive
 The spring is the time Of much new con sfruction. It is the season for cleaning up. and beautifying towns The time has gone by when the community as whole views with indiffer- There Is a growing desire for simple lines, har- nlonious eolors, avoidance Of the monsfrosities and eccentrieities that one sees nearly every where.
 When people are looking for place for residence, the first thing they ask is to the changes for business. The second question may be What kind of schools do you have 2a' Tn perhaps even more cases it is .sIs your town an attractive place to live in?' If on visiting the irrespective home the streets are seen to be slat- |ternly, the buildings grotesque and il kept. it will take very good business or educational prospects to neutralize these disadvantages.
 Many towns have increased their taxable property by the simple and inexpensive expe- dient of cleaning out unsightly buildings around the railroad station. and planting trees and |shrubbery.
 Thus beauty has it's distinct commercial value A street with trees and flowers makes Ievery house more salable at higher prices 9th Ter things being equal, prospective residents will pay more money to live in town where a con Isistent attempt is made toward beautifyine the Iplace.
 Anugly house cheapens near by property The people who do not have good taste on such matters should not arrogantly parade their lacks before the public. Let them ask advice from some one who does possess good taste.
