The Tax Collector.

Auo Ab& SuAloCtoIs
There is a ring of politicians in this
township who are anxious ito defeat any
by which the Peoples Library
shall be benefited out of the fees for col
Letting taxes, because they know that if we
establish such precedent, then that fat
office will be lost to party bummers in fu-
ture and can't be used to hold party rings
together.
Quincy Mcneil wants the Office, and
promises to buy books for school children,
if he gets elected. He has gotten up a
bond to that effect and left it with the
Board of Education. We presume that
most people, with we'll regulated brains in
their heads, can perceive that it would be
vastly better for the town to have such
books as will be permanently kept in a
public library, than to fritter away the
money as proposed by Mr.. Mcneil.
We have, this morning, consulted Law
yer R. 7. McNeal, in regard to the matter
of giving bonds in this case, and he says it
is an illegal transaction and cannot be en-
forced in law; that the only trust is in the
honor of the man who shall be elected. II
@. Mcneil were to give bond for a million
of dollars, for the purpose under consider
alton, and procure the signature of every
man in town, the bond could never be en-
forced. So the bond business had better
be dismissed and rely upon the character
and honor and ability of those who make
offers. OF course the safest way is-cash
down. But if the Library Board conclude
to accept any proposition by which they
must wait till the taxes shall be collected
then in that case they will choose the prop
osition of the man whose honor and prop.
erty forbid his going back on his
pledged word to the people. We are will.
ing to trust the Judgment of the Library
Board, and both parties are publicly
pledged to do so.
At the hour of going to press the two
best propositions are from Bailey Daven-
port and Capt. James F. Copp. Mr.. Dav.
EXPORTS proposition would probably give
the Library $500 at the close of the year
AS far as he is concerned, personally, he
would prefer not to have the Office, for it will
cost him from $500 to $500 out of pocket. and
not cent coming back. But he is willing
to suffer this loss FOR the benefit of the Ii
brary.
Capt Copp's proposition would give the
Library $3.50, cash, the day after election
and leave him probably some $500 OIL
5000 for collecting the taxes.
Let the Library Board beside and the
people will sustain them.

THE MASS CONVENTION.
Ex-Mavor Murdoch Unanimously Nominated
Cor Supervisor.

The convention at the Court House to
nominate candidate for Supervisor in
opposition to Mr. Krell, was success. On
assembling the convention resolved itself
into mass meeting with Jacob Norris in
the chair and B. d. Buford as Secretary.
Mr.. Norris on taking the chair made a
short speech, in which he referred to old
times, when all knew where they stood.
Now they didn't. He didn't know on
which side he was. He then stated the
object of the meeting.
w. W. Eggleston asked if Republicans
had right to vote. He was answered 10
the affirmative.
Mr.. Lucas thought all who took part in
the Republican convention were bound to
support the Republican nominee.
Mr.. Copp asked if it was a delegate con-
veution, and was answered, no, that the
delegates had resigned to the masses.
The convention then unanimously and
enthusiastically nominated Hon. Thomas
Murdoch for Supervisor.
DR.. C. Truesdale, P. Fries, Alderman
Carse, John Warner, and j. r. Johnston
were appointed a committee to wait on ex
Mayor Murdoch, inform him of bis nom-
ination and solicit his acceptance of the
same.
Several propositions were made In rela-
ton to the collectorship of taxes and pro
perly referred-and the convention ad
journed.
The friends of Mr.. Murdoch land they
are legion are very DESTROYS that the towr
should have him for its Supervisor. as BIZ
will make more capable, dignifed and en-
ergetic representative than we have ha
for some years, and very suitable mar
for Chairman Of the Board.

RAPE CASE IN COE,
The Brute In Jail.


About week ago, young girl named
Doretha Behruudt, who is an inmate of
the family of Mr. Geo McMurphy, of
Coe, was at Hillsdale, and when she
started for home she was followed by two
men named Michael A O'Hair and Mi
chael Mention. After following her for
some distance Mention turned and went
back, while O'Hair followed, seized the
girl, forced her against the fence and un-
dertook to commit rape upon her per
son. She struggled, bravely, screamed, got
away and fled for her home, screaming for
her life. OHair failing in his dastardly
attempt, also went to his own home. The
fellow had recently married Miss Mary NJ
Beattie, of Coe, and their names
appear among the marriage licenses for
February.
A warrant was issued for O'Hair, By
Justice Hugh Mccall and placed in the
hands of Constable d. Nicholson who re-
paired to the house of O'Hair, read the
warrant to him and ordered him to come
with him. O'Hair seized a chair anC
made a motion to strike the con
stable, but the officer bravely stood hi,
ground, drew his revolver and shn
OHair slightly in one arm. The scoun
drel then yielded, was taken before the
magistrate and held to bail 10 the sum o.
$500 for appearance at next term of circuit
court, Not getting bail the officer start
ed with him ON the Sd for thi.
city. At Moline the prisoner managed t.
give him the slip. The officer came t.
this city, procured help and caught tn,
fellow near Arsenal street bridge, between
and 2 o'clock the same night, after I
sharp race in which O'Hair fell while run
ming, and thus dropped into the hands O
his pursuers. He is now in Jail.

him that Uncle Sam is not so generous to
