Editors AIaury Democrat:
Thomas Station, July 13.-I feel
that it is due the temperance ele-
1 ment of the country to have their
eyes open to the absurdityPf taking
stock in the recent effort made by
the boilers convention, which met
in the city of Nashville, July 11th,
to gull the temperance movement
into the support of the rotten con-
Germ by Incorporating a catch plank
in their proposed platform of prin-
ciples. 1t would perhaps be out of
place for me, at present, to attempt
to give at length my objections,
therefore content myself with mere,
ly entering my solemn protest in
opposition to such course of pro-
ceeding. Under other circumstances
it might not work an injury to the
future success of the order and its
movements, but following in this
direction at this time, and the pur-
poses t9R which it is sought, will
most inevitably result in disaster to
the cause of temperance and Good
Tcmplars. | have taken the liberty
to state the same in substance in q
note to the Hon. j. II. RUSSELL, of
date July II, 1882, which append
as follows in substance:

TIE REPORT.

The Council last evening adopted the
minority report in the recent Warren inves-
tigation which contained recommends
ton to the effect that Warren be removed
from the position of Street Commissioner.
This morning it was understood that
Warren was still at work, to ascertain the
truth of the report Mayor Carse was inter
rogated He said in answer to question,
that Warren was still at work as Street
Commissioner of the city. He said War
ren's removal remained with the Mayor,
and the Mayor could not say that Warren
would be removed. He said that the end
of the business had not yet been reached,
and intimated that he desired further time
in which tolook up the matter before he full
ly decided what to do in the premises
In the meantime Warren will probably
continue as a city official, notwithstanding
the fact that majority of the Aldermen by
a vote, have decided that he is not the prop
er person TO discharge the duties of Street
Commissioner.

AN ESCAPE.

A remarkable escape from death occur

Ayers and his family were at dinner, they
heard their little girl, but two years old,
who had been playing about the yard, give
q cry of pain. Mr.. Ayers rushed into the
yard, but could not see her. Something
inspired him to run TO the well. upon
reaching which he saw the rotton board
cover broken in. With superhuman
strength he grasped the stock of the pump,
and breaking it from the tubing, he ripped
it and the cover from the mouth of the
well. Then he saw the babe in the water.
The well is 90 feet deep, and it is % feet
to the water. Without hesitating an in
slant he jumped in, and grasping the tub

the Dennis Long Water Pipe establishment

the members Of the water works committee
of the city council about l. 800 feet of pipe
used in connecting the system of water

The pipe was ordered last summer but il
was not believed to be up to the standard
and hence it was not paid for
It consists of 1900 feet of 12, IA and 16

in CONTROVERSY is about So, 800.

BILL ALLOWED.

The Board of Supervisors last Wednes
day afternoon allowed Emmanuel Klina,
$500 for expenses incurred by him in as
sisting the prosecution in the recent He'll
wagon murder trial. Klinau is the father
Of the murdered woman and as such hi
was more or less interested in the cenvic
ton of Heilwagon for his child's murder
| He engaged Mr.. Jackson, of the firm o.
Sweeney & Jackson, to assist the prosecu
| ton. Mr.. Jackson became the CHIEF
counsel for the State during the trial, Mr.
Parmenter, the prosecuting attorney, act
ed as an assistant
Mr.. Jackson appeared before the Board
of Supervisors and stated that Klinau had
been under certain expenses in working ur
the case, and had mortgaged his farm to
pay his attorneys fees. Mr. Jackson
thought that it would be no more than
right for the county to re-emburse him fo1
the money already expended.
The members of the Board granted the
amount asked for
1t is said by certain parties familiar with
the case that the only expenses which
Klinau incurred, We're to secure the services
as witness of the notorious L. E. STRAIT
ton. the alleged detective who testified
about confession of the murderer, and
the legal services of Mr.. jackson, who con-
Quoted the prosecution.
If the money was expended in securing
IL, II,
it is an outrage for the county to repay the
money to Klinau. Many believe that the
confession was made up for the occasion,
and they think that the statement of GER
tain attorneys in Iowa concerning STRAIT
tons role as an alleged confessor in certain
criminal cases, soon to be tried, prove that
his evidence should be taken with q grain
of allowance. They feel that such man
ness; neither should the man who engaged
him be Reimbursed by the county.
If the mon sy is to be used in lifting a
mortgage made necessary to pay Dir. Jack
parties feel that it was an unnecessary
expenditure. They claim that the county
has prosecuting attorney in the person
Of E. E. Parmenter, who was elected to
prosecute criminals. They feel that if he
is not competent to fill the place unassist
ed by other attorneys, the people and the
public should know it, and the Board
should hire some one who is able to do the
work in Parmenter's name. They say it is
q round about way for Klinau to engage
Mr.. Jackson to assist Mr.. Parmenter; then
pay Mr.. Jackson by mortgaging his farm
and finally have Mr.. jackson come before
The Board and ask that Mr.. Klinau be al
owed. $200 forexpenses incurred which will
enable Klinau to pay off his mortgage. |

AT THE CAPITOL.

G. c. Smythe, of the Cambridge ChTons.
Gle. favors his paper with the following
correspondence anent the Hennepin canal
prospect at Washington:
On Wednesday of this week, Gen. Hen
derson made his final argument for the
Hennepin canal, before the Committee on
Railroads and Canals, and closed the case,
probably The whole canal delegation
here were enthusiastic over the effort; and
though the speech was made wholly with
out notes, and almost without reflection,
SO imperative are the demands upon his
time in many directions, yet 1t was declar-
ed to me by several who heard it, and who
heard it, and who are familiar with the
subject to have been one of the strongest
aad most complete presentations OF the
features and claims of that enterprise that
has been made anywhere. Major Allan
felt sure that the impression made by it
upon the committee was very marked, and
if a vote could have been had at that mo-
ment, there would hardly have been q
voice in the negative. On Saturday even
ing, a general meeting of representatives
and senators from the northwest, and the
Hennepin delegation here, is to be held at
the Ebbt House, at which the strength OF
the measure may perhaps be pretty accu-
rately measured and the full programme
probably agreed upon.
