Inthe report of the last meeting of the school board it was stated that the janitor of the Hill school was discharged. It should have read the Hall school, as Mr. W. S. Wil- kins, the efficient janitor at the Hill building, is discharging his duties in a most faithful manner and has given no cause for complaint. The discharged party was Mrs. Castle, who Jept the teachers in the Hall building con- tinually in hot water, and was for this reason removed by the board.

THE SHOVERS OF BAD DOLLARS, Crazy-Quilt Opinions on the Park Im- pre ents—Coming Graduates ~The New Hotel—A Brute of a Husband. Those New Walks, The park commissioners have been hounded a good deal to have new walks laid in Bay. liss park, and in accordance with the de- mands of the people tiiey contracted with Mr. Lanihan for about §1,500 worth of artificial stone. The work has commenced in earnest, and there is hardly a moment in the day but what a group of citizens may be scen and heard there, The variety of observations is amusing. ‘“That's a pretty good wolk, but it ought to be crowned in the center, o as to have the water run off, instead of being flat.” Y1t isn’t flat. The middle of the walk is an inch higher than the outside. It is crowned. The water will run off.” “Well, it is not as high as it should be in the middle. “The walk is all right, except that border. 1f they had hunted all over for a mean color for the border, they couldn't have ot a meaner one.” “Do you think so? WhyI rather like that. She shows up well. The only trouble is with the walk that it will be awful slip- ])r‘r\. A feller will break his neck if it is at all icy, or even if it is rainy.” No, yow'll never slip on that, Don’t you seo they haye sort of roughened it with that hammer, which leaves all those little holest That will keep it from ever being slippery. I tell you the walk is all right, except that it is too high, Folks will stub their toes in coming off the grass onto the walk, and on a dark night they'll walk off and hurt themselves. “That's nonsense! Wha £ill up the park high as these walks, or higher even. e walk ought to be up to the grade of the streets, about _six inches higher and ‘then fill the park up to ’s what ought to be done.” “No, you'd kill all the trees and the sod too, Why it would just ruin the park. The park is all right as it is, and all in the world that was needed was to draw in some sa md here and just cover the old walks. wouldn't have cost as much, and would )\.\\0 done just as well. You could have got the walks all in_good shape for 00, and that would have left £1,000 for a fountain in the center of the park, in place of the old band stand, which does well enough for a country town, but is a disgrace to a city like this.”” *No sir, gravel walks won’t do. That arti- ficial stone is the thing, if you can only be sure of getting it put in right. There should be some onc to watch, though, and sce if the contractor puts in enough cement., That's what ought to be done.” “Why, there is a man watching. That little fellow there. He is hired by the park commissioners to see that the work is done right. There's a barrel of cement to be used m every block of the stone, yes, that's fixed all right.” “It's all nonsense. The contractor don't need watching. He willdo the right thing anyway, and he has good bonds up, so that if anything goes wrong, the park commission- ers are safe, without, throwing any money away for inspectors.” The park commissioners have concluded they can’t please mun all. they need is to Motor Line Time Table, Until further notice the Manawa motor line will leave the Rock Island tracks at 9, 10 and 11 o'clock a. m.; at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 o'clock p. m. and at 7, 8, 9 and 10 o'elock p. m. ——— Excursion to i!.

Doran and Dell th, the two parties arrested for “shoving the queer.” Doran e o genuine “iron” dollar to Freddie Sessions, a bootblack, to change, and promised him half of it for the service. Fred went into Metcalf Bros.’ clothing establishment and offered the wheel to the hier, who immediately pronounced it bogus, and asied where he got it. The boy went to the door to point out the fellow, but he had disap- peared. A description of him was given to Ofticer Olsen, who soon had him behind the bars. Later in the evening Smith was ar- rested on a similar charge, He has s :d one term in the pen for passing counterfeit money, and he 18 undoubtedly at his 0ld tricks again. The preliminary examination will tako place to-day before Clerk Hunter of the United States court, and Doran will have a chance to explain where hie got possession of his bogus coin. The counterfeit coin was not @ dangerous one, as it was considerably ‘“‘off solor,” und its weight would condemn it in he hands of almost anyone.
