The Weekly Republican from Moline, Illinois • 8

during a passlonate and somewhat IS ASKED TO RESIGN The Country. THE REPUBLICAN I'oul Tulley Correspondence. From WwintiKdsy's pally. We troatod the letters received out a largo especially of ladies. Tho postoflloe question for Stow-nrtville is still unsettled.

Tho reply from President Cleveland In regard to It has not been pearly so prompt as his reply to the CongroBS of our city. The President Is no doubt very busy at present endeavoring to set-tlo tho Mormon and Chinese troubles. A gentleman tuning musical Instruments in this vicinity was thrown vlolentlyto the ground with a very severe lit while leaving the residence of Joslah Heck and had to be taken to Moline before medical aid could be rendered. A query why Stow-artvlllo without a physician? echo answers why 1 The mud Is plenty and very Inconvenient, especially for those living at a distance from the street cars. If the central track was completed to Milan (a subject which has been much talked of) it would be profitable as well as convenient not only for the citizens of Stewartville and vicinity, but Moline and Milan as well.

Tho nine-year-old nieoe of Mrs. Philip Hock arrived In Moline on the Flying Dutchman from Minneapolis a few evenings Bince In care of the Conductor, to make her home with her aunt her mother being deceased. Tho little girl says she had a very pleasant trip as tho conductor and passengers were very kind aud attentive to her. March 18. Lottik.

Howard Q. baker and Phil Wll-cher returned home from Davenport Friday, where they have been since last November taking a course in short-hand and typo wrltlug at the Iowa Commercial College. They brought homo what they went after, their diplomas, and they are beauties. The young men are able to write about 125 words per minute in short-hand. Thoy went back again Monday morning to see about securing positions.

They both speak in the highest praise of the Iowa Commercial College, and think it could not do any.better. Any ladv or gentleman desirous of taking a business course or a course in short-hand and hoatod discussion, some more startling disclosures In connection with the Foor Farm management were made. Supervisor Heath wanted to hoar the evidence upon which the oom-mittee had based their conclusions read. It ought to be produced. Supervisor Ryder, as chairman of that committee, said the clerk had destroyed everything, and they had no written evidence to submit.

Supervisor Cozad favored adopting tho report. Demanding the evl- deuce on which the oommltteo based their report, was casting a reflection on that committee. Supervisor burrall wanted to know what the committee considered sufficient to condemn as reported by them, and Supervisor Rydor in replying made some entirely NEW DISCLOSURES. Steward Robertson had purchased some goods from Dart Sons', receiving as an Incentive for such purchase six allver spoons. The goods had been taken to the Farm, but the silver spoons had been given by the Robertsons as a wedding present.

These goods belonged to the county, and he had no right to give them away. Then again Mr. Robertson had sent $5 clear to Kansas to bring a man here on the Farm and had afterward paid him $5 a month. A poor woman living in Rock Island had written this man a letter and Steward Robertson had taken it from the office. (He admitted it) Yet Steward Robertson had never delivered that letter.

He had taken that letter out to the Farm, the Poor Farm Committee knew it, yet the man never got his letter. The postal laws would notallow anything of that kind; they would be after Mr. Rob- ertson. The letter was simply an epistle of love, and Robertson waa afraid the man would leave the farm if he got it, and he would lose his assistance of $5 a month. Supervisor Ryder said they had received no evidence bearing on medical treatment at the Farm; the committee knew nothing about the medical treatment of Hana Timmerman.

Mrs. Buyer bond. Yesterday, tho Argus says. Supervisor Campbell received a telegram containing the Intelligence of the death of his aunt, Mr. Boyer, at St.

Louis. There are few people In Rock Island county who are as extensively known as was tho deceased. She was one of the earliest settlers, coming to tno county over fifty years ago. Mrs. Zermlah boyer would have been eighty-two years of ago uext May.

In the early days of Hock Island county she, with her first Phillips-kept a hotel, the first in what was then known as the village of Rock Island. She was one of tho foundation stones of the city's history, and in her life she built up a monument which will ever stand forth as a bright testimonial to those who knew her, and to whom she was dear. Although she hud no children of her own, she was a motherly woman, possessing all those at-tributes which are essential la making up a noble aLd exemplary life. Mr. and Mrs.

boyer wont South last October to spend tho winter and had reaohod St. Louis on their return, when the deceased was taken 111 with bronchitis which proved fatal. Supervisor Campbell who was her nephew, visited St. Louis a week ago, and It was thought then that she could not live another day. Kalsomine brushes at Clendeuin's.

Gould Co. Straljjlilenliijf (Jrern River. A meeting to consider the feasibll-tyof straightening Green river In Henry county wa3 held In Atkinson the other day. It was thought by Bomo present that the river could be straightened from the Annawan bridge to the east side of Geneseo township for or while others thought it might cost from $8,000 to $20,000. Somo thought the countv ought to do the work na Dip river drains all or in part sixteen of the twenty-four townships of the county.

Tho meeting resulted In the appointment of a committee to look the matter up further. E. 13. Atkinson Is much Improved In health, and kna been able to pay a bort visit to Pcfep office. during the past week from Coal Val ley In a somewhat flippant manner in our Issue of yesterday, whereas they are entitled to moro serious consideration.

In factfhoso letters figure up a loss of revenue to Tub Rki'I'bli-cah during the year to come of not less than (rour hundred and fifty, cents), or nearly sufficient to pay tho running expenses of tho entire concern for 45 (forty-five) minutes. And should tho entire list of our subscribers at coal vauuy crumble and disappear the loss would amount to as much if not moro than the net profits of Tub Rei-uuli- can for an entire day. This deserves serious consideration. Of course it is understood that this four hundred and fifty cents worth of trouble which Tub Republican has experienced Is duo to Us ill-advised publication of tho facts brought out on tho coroner's iuquest over the body of Hans Timmerman, found dead at the Poor Farm under suspi cious circumstances, including a fraudulent statement of the causoa of his ueain auu a forged certificate of a physician as to thoso causes. Tub Ricfuhliuan ought to have kept still, pel haps, In the opinion of these Coal Valley correspondents, and allowed tho suspicious doath of this pauper and soldier to pass unnoticed.

We do not quite see the thing In that light. The people at the poor house tho crippled, tho blind and the In sane under otner ana more favora ble circumstances might have been our best citizens, l'robably through no fault of their own they are cranky, crippled, blind or feeble minded, and entitled on humanitarian grounds to consideration which tho rest of us do not expect. Aud tho county has taken this view of It, aud has not only provided amplo buildings and grounds for their accommodation, but pays liberally a superintendent of the Poor Farm aud a sufficient number of assistants to "attend to their needs. These cranks, cripples, blind, indigent aud insane people at the Foor Farm hold tho same rela tion to their Superintendent that guests whose bill is paid at a hotel hold to their landlord. It Is their right to live and enjoy life within tho limit of their capacity, and it Is his duty to care for them according to their needs, aud ho Is paid liberally to do so.

He knows before accepting this duty that his guests are cranks, cripples, blind, indigent and insane, and that ho is expected to humor their various needs within resonable limits. Of couaso tho Superintendent is justified lu using what force may bo necessary to keep these cranks, cripples, blind, Indigent and insane within reasonable limits. In this Timmerman case it seems that after the Superintendent (or his representative) had knocked down and kicked his guest, the crank Timmerman, into a condition which would keep him very much insido of reasonable and unto limits, the latter after several days of illness, died lied without medical attention, although tho county had' contracted and was paying for till that was needed, and when ho died a forged certificate', of death was filled out and "something" thereby sought to bo covered up. It was precisely this "something" which it was tho duty of the coroner to find out, aud a grand jury thought it sufficient to warrant an indictment for murder. The Republican is willing to stand on its record in this caso.

Wo never expected to seo llobertsou Sr. con victed of murder, but that ho was guilty of a serious offense of less degree Is as plain as tho nose ou our face, and ho should have been con victed.

WEDNESDAY'S 8ESSIOX Tho Board of Supervisors met In adjourned session p. m. today to hear the report of the special com mittee appointed to Investigate thj Poor Farm matter.

Supervisor Fearsall tendered his resignation as Chairman, and Supervisor Aster was elected to tho posit tlon. The committee reported that they had examined the question which was referred to them, and while they found many things to condemn, thoy had not sufficient evidence to warrant Steward Kobortson's removal. They submitted e. series of rulos to goyern the conduct of the Steward. After the report had been read the evidence which was submitted to the comnllttee was askek for, when the reply was made that the evidence had been destroyed at 10:00 a.

m. Further discussion of the question was postponed until 10:00 a. m. tomorrow. THE REPORT.

To the Honorable Hoard of Siipervleor of Rock lHland County in special Blun. Your special committee to whom was assigned the duty of investigat ing the administration of the Foor Farm with reference to the action of the board on the petition of citizens of Moline for immediate removal of liotiertson as Steward of said Farm respectfully report: That they have carefully and patiently "examined all the evidence obtainable by them; that no open accusations have been made; but muiutuuiuous rumors of hearsay cnaracter and opinion have been brought to their attention. From all mis mass or material your committee find some things to commend aud some that may justly be considered blameworthv. the causes for which may justly be laid to the want or correct business order in adminis tration which has grown out of the want or specific definition, and un derstauding of the powers and duties of the Steward, Foor Farm com mittee and the honorable board of That they do not dis cover cause sunlcient to make it nec essary to demand Steward Robert son resignation or removal, but tuey ao discover, in their opinion reasons for recommending a -clear tletlnitiou of the powers and duties of uotn steward and foor Farm com mittee, anu tne adoption or. some rules for the government of both the bteward, Committee and physician, IvYDKlt, E.

N. HOLLISTER, C. b. Fisk, H. 150WMAN, M.

O. Norton, Committee The above is that portion of the special committee's report which has any reference to the past conduct of Steward Tkobertson. They, however, submit a voluminous addenda in the nature or rules for the government of the Poor Farm in the future which UThk EfcPrBLiCAH believes entirely Irrelevant to the pending investiga tion. The 000 voters from Moline The appealed to tho board to remove Steward llobertson, charging him with a violation of his trust, and yet the committee say in their report port "No open accusation has been made." In Heaven's name are they going to count at naught the petition of 900 legal voters of this city. They "fiud some things to commend aud some things which may be justly considered blameworthy;" yet they report the latter not sufficient to cause his re moval.

When Supervisors Heath and Campbell demanded the evideuce submitted to the committee that they might pass on what the com mittee considered "blameworthy, Supervisor Fisk, who was secretary of the committee, replied that it had been destroyed In the morning. This was a nice state of affairs. After a two week's Inquiry at expense to the county, tho evidence as taken Is de stroyed, aud again the board Hound ored in the dark. The committee said they would try end fix up an other report of the evidence taken and submit It today. The board are naturally Interested In knowing if this committee has thoroughly sifted the matter, weighing certain evl dence which appeared so damaging to Mr.

Robertson in the trial If tho latter was "obtainable" by them, The board and our people want to know what reason Steward llobert son gave for letting Timmerman die, and not calling tho medical attend ant which the county provides. What explanation ho could give of the crazy house scene. In the Cir cult Court he testified "I saw Tim merman covered with blood when I entered the crazy house, lie was gesticulating, I did not ask him what was tho matter but ordered htm to the wash tub to wash anil gave him some clean cloth '8. mac was his testimony. The blood had spurted down over Tlmmerman's faco and shirt, and yet the Steward, who cares for the Indigent wards, did not think It of sufficient consequence to in quire tho cause.

From that day thoso wounds were never examined Tho man could not retain' his urine and after a week of suiTerlng died During all that time no physician saw him. Tho board and the tax payers of ltock Island county ask what did Mr. Robertson say to that in his evidence before the committee. There Is plenty of evidence to show mismanagement, and our people are Interested In seeing it sifted. It Is not sufficient for tho committee to whltowash their report by submitting a bulk of rules, entirely foreign to tho dutlos Imposed ou them by tho board.

Tho action or tho board today will Interest our readers. THURSDAY 8 8K88I0K Supervisor Harwood was tho only absentee at today's session of the Board.

Supervisor Heath again demanded the evidence, ne thought some things looked as though the committee did not want the evidence to go on the record before the county. Supervisor Elliott thought the matter had been left to the com-mitto and need not be discussed by the Board. The matter was more a personal one with the Supervisors.

Eight votes had been cast for one Supervisor as a member of that committee, (Harwood) and yet not one present would trust him out of sight with a dollar. Supervisor Burrall said yoo voters of Mollue had preferred charges against Robertson, in the treatment of Timmerman, and asked the committee what they found out bearing on that question. Ryder said they had no evidence. Supervisor Heath pictured the crazy house scene, iu which Timmerman waa covered with blood, and yet the Steward had not asked him how how he got his injuries or learned their extent. No doctor had ever been called to attend him.

James Robertson, who was present, said the doctor had been notified to be present. Supervisor buTrall would like to hear the testimony of Steward Robertson before the Circuit Court. He stated there that no physician had been called. Ryder said none of the evidence taken in the Circuit Court had been considered by the committee. The question waa still pending when The Republican closed Its report, an dthe probability is that the matter will be thoroughly ventilated as the committee had not received evidence which threw any light on Tlmmerman's treatment or any testimony brought out In the Circuit court.
