The Encouragement Given the Pre-

1t was only on Wednesday that Mrs. An
drew Galloway, of l07 Livingston street.
went to police headquarters with resolute
purpose and deep feeling of hatred toward
John Colleton. the Summit street saloon
keeper. he had sold her husband liquor; he
was bad man, kept bad place, and his
whiskey had caused her husband 10 fall down
an area and sustain severe injuries. Moth
ing could she say that was severe
enough concerning Colleton. She wanted
him arrested and wanted him dealt with Sc
verely. Her husband would be chief witness,
four other men he could secure as witnesses.
She left headquarters with promise 10 ap-
pear the next morning and see justice dealt
out to Colleton. She appeared, az promised,
yesterday morning: brought along with her
the one man of all others she despised the
day previous and told Supt. Perry she wished
to withdraw her complaint; she knew moth
ing bad about John and guessed be was a
pretty good saloon Keeper. She said the
thing" had been satisfactorily fixed, but
did not state the amount of 'hush money
paid. The twain left together smoking the
pipe of peace, and nothing was left for the
authorities To do but to reflect upon the
frailties of human nature.
Mrs. Kuths, who complained of klaiber
and HewZe, the Sixth Ward saloonists, for
selling liquor to her son, a minor, also with
drew her complaint. She claimed the trouble
had been satisfactorily settled. The next
time these people have any great grievances
they should first look after the pin money
before seeking redress through the courts.

spent the balance Of the afternoon on the
tax bill, which has been made the special or

The House ia committee OF the whole I'm
ally passed the Newhouse bill, appropristing
$4,000 for the soldiers Home. The bill
provides that the commsndant and all at

House committee also passed the bill to
reduce telephone rates aud rentals.
The bill is similar 10 those
recently enacted In Illinois, Indiana and
other states, and the fine Italian hand" of
the Western Union Telegraph Company Is
plainly visible in them all. This is one rea-
son why the bill will probably be killed, on
third reading. Mr.. Ford vigorously opposed
the bill in several good steps. Hitherto the
members dwelt together in peace and har-
mony, but now that the minority bill and the

are off, and the remainder of the session
