VENING TELEGRAPH. PSHED JAN. ..3.) ALTON, SATURDAY IVENINGr, MABCH 16, 1907, 10e PEE WEEK Lnre ot Six-Inch Pipe toAr Cauaes Delay in Complet- 1 ing Mains. Caldwcll, treasurer of the Al- iA al IB to establish and give water service. PU said In bis statement in the arrival uil pipe, ordered nine Bll the deliveries of pipes been of the larger size.

Every effort will be made to en the work of laying mains. ge gangs of men wiU 'be employ- the water company desire to its contract for fire hydrants in the earliest possible moment. laving naalns Is costly company.

Mayor Beall has iken the matter UP with Mr. Cald- and -has urged an early comple- ion of the work. Ldgntton is Expensive on the Taxpayers. Yesterday the fourth Jury case In weeks was tried in the City The jury costs $48 a day. ienever most of the cases set for have been called they have -jntinued for one reason or another.

in one of the cases tried this week amount involved in litigation was bnly $65, and the costs, direct and on he side, have probably tripled that This case was the suit of Wm. JHudspeth against W. A. Lewis, which decided in favor of Lewis. A notlon for a new trial was made and was said by one the attorneys i the case that It would toe appealed the Appellate court.

i MAIOB SHOULD BE INDICTED, i i Some ot the Reasons assigned by the Sentinel Demo-: crat for Such Action Against the Mayor. The Sentinel-Democrat urges that Mayor Beall ought to be Indicted. Some of the reasons are unique. The Mayor urged the payment of the $19.000 water-works bill and he ought to be indicted for that eays a prominent Mclner- ney "legal even though he saved it out of the regular appropriations, without a dollar of additional taxes. He makes the prisoners work on' the streets with the little red wagon gang.

By all means he ought to he Indicted for that. It Is unlawful to make jail birds work. The city ought to support them in idleness. He is the owner of stock (says Mclnerney) in the Telegraph, and that paper having the printing contract, the Mayor ought to be Indicted. He did not make the merit on Market street wide enough; he ought to have wid- ened it out 70 feet more costing the property-holdeA $50,000 ad- ditlonal, and he ought to be in- dieted.

He made the property-holders pay for part of the street intersections, when in truth Court so ordered it, but he ought to be indicted anyway. He ought to have told the Court that Mclner- ney does not believe in paying for the intersections. Mclnerney said last summer at the Butchers' picnic that Mr. Beall made the best mayor, the most progressive and up-to-date a model Mayor and Beall ought to be Indicted 4 for Mclnerney telling the truth occasionally. He ought to be Indicted be- cause Alderman Kennedy failed to do his duty In calling for bids last May for city printing, the Telegraph having done the work ever since without a contract at the contract price.

Indict Beall for Kennedy's failure. He ought to be Indicted be- cause he did not get 'out of the race In favor of Mclnerney. This is a very heinous offense. Indict htm sure pop. Indict him because the Comptroller does not do as Me- Inerney thinks he ought to.

Indict him because a whole lot of Mclnerney's friends are "traitors" in not supporting the editor-candidate for Mayor. This is the worst offense of all. Indict the Mayor on general principles. He ought to be do- ing time in Chester, or working with the street gang on Mclner- ney's "little red wagon." He ought to 'be indicted for doing his whole duty; for un- dertaklng work that other Mayors failed to do, and doing it successfully. J.

It Is seldom that a man with as big a heart as Assessor John J. 'Hammond gets into office, hut, when one does, the Telegraph that he deserves the recognition which everyone will concede. He will doubtless receive in tha light of his announcement of policy in making the real estate assessment for the next four years. Mr. Hammond says toe has found that in many cases widows and orphans who had few no voters in their faml- les have been dealt with very harshly.

People with Influence have escaped being assessed for their real estate the proper value widows ana orphans (have been obliged to pay an unjust share of the assessment. Cases are cited to show that a great Injustice has been done to many such unfortunate persons without the influence to secure a reduction, and Assessor Hammond will constitute himself as tlJeir personal advocate. As Assessor Hammond will have no opposition for re-election, or at least none has appeared, this statement must not be considered in the light of an electioneering scheme. He says that he Intends to make a just and equitable assessment. He will put in much time making it and will see that some property owners who hold the real estate at fancy prices when opportunity to sell is offered, pay taxes commensurate iwith the value they place upon their realty hold- Ings.

The general taxpayers will say that Assessor Hammond's view Is right when he tuelleves that poor widows and orphans should be Shown more' lenience, or at least should be treated as well as people with Influence. Mr. Hammond will no doubt be conscientious In making the assessment. He realizes that it will be a great responsibility for him to undertake to revise the real estate assessment for four years to come. He is determined, however, to do his duty well, and to make a record for himself.

If he follows out his announced policy there is little doubt that the pufblio, admiring the giver of Justice.will to. tt that Mr. Hammond BO opposition as long as he continues to manifest the same spirit toward the unfortunate; and the friendless. If any real estate assessment must 'be raised on other property to make for the loss caused by the following of Assessor Hammond's policy with the widow and poor orphans, no one will complain of the increased valuation on their property. Those who know Mr.

Hammond say there Is little doubt he will do as he says he will. PBRSOWAJj, Jfrs. Wlilliaim Knight of Denver Is visiting Mrs. A. Henderson.

Committee Named to Conduct Campaign in Favor of Consolidation oi Three of the Altons by Vote of People.

The question of annexing Uppfr Alton to Alton fa being agitated. This question, like that of annexing North Alton, may (he taken up hy a campaign committee recommending some earnest residents of Upper Alton who are favorable to tlie consolidation of many of the AHons ns possible, thereby making one big of what is now an aggregation like the Pleiades. There is almost, seven among the Altons, an.l while ft would not be possible to take In West Alton, might get tho rest of tftem, irtclurflnff what Is no'v an Incomplete corporation of South Alton. The proposition to annex Upper Alton comes from Upper Alton herself. Last night a meetfng- of Upper Alton people was held' to consider the question.

The Upper Alton, people have beefe considering the question for some They have been viewing with much, interest tfte progress which has been made by Alton, and the fact that the Altons united would have much more prestige than the Altons divided Sato- many corporations. The campaign committee- organized last evening Is as follows: F. J. Nunn, chairman, J. V.

E. Marsh, James L. Johnson, Hurry Mackinaw and ThomaH P. Doollng. This ccnit- mlttoe will look up the legal steps necesary to lie taken to firing about a consolidation.

It Is probable that If the Upper Alton people dealre annexation they will have to urge the matter, because Alton people feet that Upper Alton people have a prejudice agafnst the project. Several' attempts ftrfns about a consolidation failed of years ago. The saloon is one w-hfci has troubled Upper Alton; people, although there is no reason why it should. Even if consolidated wfth Alton, no saloons could be started in the village, an the Supreme court of Illnofs ruled in a case of the corporation of Hyde Park that even though consolidated with the city of Chicago, the city could not license saloons. Upper Alton would be doubly protected, as the college charter would Insure that no- saloons could be started.

Members of the annexation committee point to the fact that tne tax rate In Upper Alton is almost high as tit Alton, but there is a great difference In the benefits conferred. The Harp That Once Tara 1 Halls." The harp of Ireland and; its melodies wfll ctafm the attention of Erin's sons and daughters tomorrow, St. Patrick's day. There will be few celefbrations where the old of the Green Isle wilt not be heard and always favorite among them. The "Harp that Once Thro' Tara's Halls." With that song will arise vis- tons of the ancient Irish bard going Ifrom village to village, castle to monastery with his harp to sing of and exploit the ventures of adventurers of the Irish heroes.

From the Irish bard the mind will go still further back to David, the "Sweet Singer of Israel" and his harp and one iwlll imagine the most stirring aa well as the sweetest of music to have swept from the strings of thoao harps celebrated in sacred and secular history. But most unsatisfactory to modern ears would pour the tones of those small Instruments of but thirty strings for the magnificent concert grand harp has swept out of use the harp of the bard. The vanishing music of the modern harp is too infrequently heard for the expense of the Instrument and the difficulties oi Its mastery put it out of the reach of the majority of music lovers. Yot there Is no Instrument In modern use around which clusters so much poetry, romance and tradition. It is not generally known that In Alton Is one of the most beautiful of modern harps owned by Dr.

A. Don Stocker, Is as skillful a harpist as 'he is thorough musician. The loth of April Dr. Stocker may be heard upon the succession of "The Harp that Once Thro 1 Tara's Halls."
