Chicago REPUBLICAN Confessional
most truthful expose of its own party
from one of the ablest dailies of that
city. Everybody knows the devilment
that is going on in "riugs," formed by
those who look only to their own ag-
grandizement, but it takes independent,
honest, and bold men to shake off the
incubus which threatens to suppress
them. A vote against the hypocritical
pretenders for the Peoples welfare"
cannot make things worse. Read the
Republican article carefully, Messrs.
Government "loyal" gentlemen and de-
termine for yourselves as to what your
interests are in the future. Cling to
Fraud and Oppression, or break the
shackles before, as in the case of the
serpents which crushed LAGOON of
classic history, your liberties are irretri-
evably lost. We know comments on
the REPUBLICAN article are unneces-
sary but few words, simply calling
attention to the arrangement so well and
50 truthlully wordcd, we cannot avoid.
Subsidized presses and office-appointecs

form of our Republic shall dominate

Postville Burglar !-Daring Outrage 3
Capture Of the Burglar.

Capture Of the Burglar.
On Wednesday night last, John Kelly,
of the Kelly House at Postville, was awa-
kened while in his bed by noise in an
adjoining room where his desk was. He
took his revolver to the door and was im-
mediately discovered by two men, one of
whom fired at him and the other ran away.
The ball of the burglar grazed Kelly's
head close enough to crisp the hair.
Kelly returned the shot and the firing be-
came general for few minutes. After
three or four rounds without injury to
either, Kelly succeeded in dropping the
scoundrel by putting ball through his
thigh bone, breaking it badly. Mrs.
Kelly came to her husbands assistance
and assisted him to tie the brute, the lat.
ter begging pitifully for life. Kelly inns
mediately gave information, and the
burglar. murderer was taken in charge by
the officers and committed to Jail. 1t is
thought he will die. On his person were
found a full "kit' of burglars tools, such
as small saws, chisels, pincers, keys, and
other traps belonging to the trade. His
confederate is not yet arrested. He de-
MES having the tools, refuses to tell his
name, and in all things is very reticent.
Mr.. Kelly and wife are entitled to high
commentator for the courage they exhib-
tied in attacking and capturing an armed
robber and (at heart an assassin. We
congratulate our old McGregor friends in
getting off so safely and so honorably.
Postville is an uncomfortable place for
thieves. Only few weeks since clerk
in one of the stores-we do not get his
name-captured two gentlemen customers
who worked up this business in the night!
