OF this high praise In their new term.
We are heartily glad, not only fol
these reasons but personally, that
they are to serve for two years more.
For Surveyor, Mr.. Kennedy was
reelected on an Independent ticket;
and we cannot doubt that he will
discharge the duties of the Office az
we'll and faithfully as before. We Of
course preferred the election of Mr..
Ruckman; but as this was otherwise
decreed, we cannot but wish the sue
cessful man prosperous and satisfae-
tory term.
Mr.. Ridenour, our new County
Superintendent Of Schools, is an old
Teacher and consequently has gained
his knowledge from experience.
We hope his services in his new ca.
pacity may prove In every respect
all that the people could justly de-
sire. Rev. Mr.. Yetter, who retires,
has labored with earnestness to dis.
charge the delicate and difficult du-
ties Of the Office faithfully; and he
certainly will lay down the onerous
burden of the Superintendency
with pleasure rather than regret.
Our new Coroner, Mr.. Marsh, We
really hope may have no occasion Il
prove how good an officer he may be
but If occasion should come, we can
not doubt that he will do his duty
well.
In the Board of Supervisors, Hon,
s. Y. Gose retires, and is succeeded
by II. M. McCully, ESD, of Pella'
Mr.. Gose has been a faithful and
| honest as we'll as able official, and
we are sorry to be deprived Of his
further services for the present. But
there will be other years-and there
will not be better men. Mr.. McCully
has not much general acquaintance
among the people of the County al
large, but he is very popular where
he is known. He is a man of bust.
ness talent and experience, and we
shall expect him to be good mem'
Der of the Board.
And finally, to each of the incom'
ing officers, we extend our hearty
New Years congratulations and best
wishes-which may the people gen.
orally repeat next year.

THE IOWA VOTER.
Our County Omcers.
A. r. spsrry, Editor.

Next week will witness q change
in the administration Of our County
affairs. To begin at the top Of the
ticket-Senator Cathcart. who had
but brief experience in the Senate,
having been chosen to fill a vacancy,
will be succeeded by Capt. ]. l.. Nc
Cormack, editor Of the Democrat.
The Senator-elect owes us no thanks
for his success in the late campaign;
but now that he is elected we really
hope he will agreeably disappoint
the expectations of his political OPP
ponents and come up to the highest
hopes of his friends, and represent
our County as we'll as any man in
the minority can. His record will
of course be watched with some inter
est. He is not entirely without leg
islative experience, having been form
erly a Representative from this
County.
Our Representative, elect, Messrs.
Durham and Keables, may be rea-
sonably expected to serve their con-
stituents as we'll and faithfully as
they did in their former term. They
need no introduction, but will com.
mend themselves. We wish them q
most pleasant and successful career Of
Office.
In the Auditors Office, Judge
Brobst retires, and is succeeded by
Mr.. B. F. Ewalt. The Judge y one
OF the Oldest, best known and most
generally popular citizensof our
Comfy. So far as we have any
knowledge, he will leave tho busi-
ness of his Office in the proper condi'
ton, and retire to private life with
the well-earned reputation Of being
one Of the most pleasant and accom'
modafing officers the County has
ever had. May his days be yet long
aud happy In the land
His successor. Mr.. Ewalt, isa young
man. without any previous official
experience that we are aware OF; pu'
he Is intelligent, active and as we be
lieve strictly honest. We did not y
any wise help to elect him, but tna'
does not prevent US from sincerely
hoping that he may prove agood ano
worthy officer, and be generally liked
as such.

Important Decision.

In q case recently decided by Die
trict Judge Tracy, at Mt. Pleasant
upon the question whether certain
special railroad election had been le'
gally ordered, it was held by the
Court that, as shown by the evidence,
the Township Trustees had ordered
the election upon the simple fact
that over one-third Of the legal roters
Of the Township had petitioned
therefor; but that the action OF the
Trustees was Illegal, and all subse-
quent proceedings were illegal, be.
cause it did not appear that ne-third
of the resident taxpayers OF the Up
had signed the petition. In sum.
ming up his Opinion the Judge said
"And before the question Of aiding
the construction of the railroad Is
prayed for by the petitioners can be
re-submitted to the legal voters OF
the Township, 1t must be ascertained
by legal and competent evidence that
at least one-third of all the resident
tax-payers Of the Township, whose
rfoperty will be charged with the
payment Of the tax II levied, have
signed the petition"
This il an important matter, and

SUIT FOR FALSE IMPRIsO NNIENT.-
An important suit, in which S.. S. Mer
rill, general manager of the Milwaukee
and St. Paul Railways sued for $780,
600 damages for false imprisonment, is
on trial in the United States Circuit
Court now In sessionin St. Paul. The
origin of the case is briefly as follows ::
About two years ago Mr.. Charles l.,
Wood, who was then in the employ of
the St. Paul and Sioux City Railroad
Company, claimed to have tripped
while crossing the bridge between
Sioux City and West St. Paul, and lost
from his hand package of bills
amounting to 10000 iu funds of the
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railroad,
which package, he asserted, fell into
the river and was lost. Mr.. Edgar
rash, about that time, formed part
nership with Mr.. Wood, with the in
tentioa of going into the hardware
business in Duluth, which partnership
it is claimed was Immediately dissolved
after the loss of the money, Mr.,
Wood was Immediately arrested on the
charge of having embezzled or stolen
the money, and Mr.. Nash was arrested
at Duluth on charge of being an &C
cessory, and the latter now brings suit
against Mr.. Merrill for damages as
above. Eminent counsel are employed
on both sides, and great interest is felt
in the result.

WALL STREET CRASH.

Another exciting day-almost equal
ing the celebrated Black Friday, in
which Messrs. Fisk and Gould figured
with such prominence-was witnessed
in Wall Street, New York, on Wednes-
day the 21st inst. The excitement
this time was centered on the Rock
Island Railroad stocks. About the LIST
Of April a combination was formed to
force up the price of these stocks and
get corner on the bears. The prin
cipal men in the CLIQUE were VIM. S.
Woodward and John f. Tracy, the Pres
ident of the railroad. Starting from
the price Of 112, they gradually bought
Rock Island stock, till Wednesday
morning it sold at 1870. On Tuesday
afternoon Mr.. Woodward had all his ar
engagements completed for making an
enormous sum Of money. He and his
clique had actually bought 273, 900
shares-103, 900 more than have ever
been issued. All day he took all the
shares that were offered him, and
toward the afternoon he became a lit
tie suspicious Of the sellers. He was
under engagement to put up a large
amount of margin the following
"wednesday morning. For this pur-
pose the clique were to furnish him
with 100000. But on Tuesday
evening he found, to his amazement
and horror, that the 81 900, 900 would
not be forthcoming in the morning,
and therefore the bubble must burst.
ut the opening Of the Exchange, how
ever, on Wednesday morning, Rock Is
land was quoted at l30A. But as soon as
the trouble was known, a scene of indis-
cribable confusion ensued. Inevitable
ruin stared dozens of men in the face,
many others had to contemplate heavy
losses and to get out of the mess the
best they could. There was a general
display of movements more like luna
tics than solid, business men. Soon
after the board was called, several
members officially informed the Vice
President of the Stock Exchange, who
alone stood calm, that they must fail,
and desired that their stock might be
sold out under the rule. About So
100000 of stock was sold in this way,
lowering the market price from 1909
to ITO in less than two hours. Nine
of the dealers, exclusive of Mr.. Wood
ward, were publicly announced as fail
ed. Mr.. Woodward will undoubtedly
fail Probably a olouded sun never
set upon more coatented lot of men
than Messrs. Woodward and company
when the day closed on Tuesday.
They fancied they had everything their
own way, that nothing could defeat
their brilliant prospects. But they little
knew the combination that was being
organized against them. Not one in
hundred members of the Stock Ex-
change dreamed that the nezt1 day
would be fraught with so much evil
and disaster

General Sam. Hartman, appointed
under law of the State cf Wisconsin.
to protect the railroad lands in the
northwestern part of the State from
trespass, and who has already secured
nearly Sz0,O penalty from lumber
men who have cut logs on these lands,
has lately made a seizure on the St.
Croix of some eight milliop feet of
logs now at Saltwater, Mimi, belong
ing to lumbermen at that point. The
Wisconsin authorities claim that the
logs in question were cut on lands in
Wisconsin, granted by the General
Government to build a railroad from
some point on the St. Croix river to
Bayfield,, and although the time given
by Congress for building the road has
expired, the title is still vested in the
State of Wisconsin The lumbermen
seek to replevin the logs and resist the
seizure by law. The suit is an i'm
portant one, as it involves immense
interests of the'State, the United States
