Two of a Kind.

James Garen, the man who became lit

his horses run up and down the street,
beating and cursing them, was before JUS

was up yesterday for and assault com>
mitted against John Schilenzeg on March
10. After paying up his fine, James Garen
pestered Justice Chopper about an hour
trying to obtain the release of his brother
John. He had no money to pay the fine
or good reason for his being set free, and
the Squirehad to order him out of the of

Wants the Earth .

As near as we can determine, the Secs
ond ward is a political hog. We say this
without any telling of bitterness, but
simply as matter of fact. Within its
purlieus appear to be concentrated the
great men of the city, and it developes
candidates for office as fast as boarding
house does bed bugs. A person at the
republican convention could not help but
notice the second ward delegates, for they
turned the crank for the entire machine.
1t is true that Beardsley was sat down
upon in the matter of the city attorneys
ship, but then neither of the candidates
lived in his ward.
But we are getting from our subject,
which is to prove that the Second ward
wants the earth. politically. The Second
ward is the habitation of the famous Kan
CARGO, and there he leaps about in all his
pristine glory. Last spring Mayor Mott
moved into that ward so that it is the home
of both mayoralty candidates. But let us
proceed. For treasurer there is George
Lambert; assessor, John Barge and W. S.
Parsons police magistrate. Butterfly
Bennett; constable, Louis V. Eckhart;
justice of the peace, s. F, Cooke and
David Halves. Besides there has beer
three aldermen nominated in less than 6
week. Then the largest portion Of the
republican glee club, with their weirt
songs, are Matched within its boundaries,
and last, but not least, the humpbacke(
gutter fiend stalks about the numerou:
byways with heavy tread, 'muttering dirt
threats against the street and alley com
mittee. Taken altogether the Secont
ward is political hot-bed, running owe
with talent and genius.

FATHERLESS.
But With Father Liying-..A Mother,
But Having No Husband.

There has been trouble brewing at the
little town of Edgington and Buffalo
Prairie. The son of one well known far
mer and the daughter of another were
implicated, and the result was that Mary
A. Lewis went before Justice Chopper
Yesterday and made complaint that on
March 16 she became the mother OF
male child, and charged John Talbot
with being its father. A warrant was
placed in the hands of Marshal Miller,
and he drove to Talbott's home, three
miles south of Edgington, and arrested
the betrayer of Miss Lewis. Talbot was
brought in and lodged in Jail to await fur
Their action. He was not unwilling to be
made the lawful father of the child, and
agreed to marry her. The matter has
been hushed up as much as possible and
the marriage was agreed to for that pur-
pose. Talbot lives on his fathers farm.
He has been going with Miss Lewis for a
long time and with protestations and
promises accomplished her ruin. She
was also farmers daughter, innocent and
confding, and believing all he told her,
became his victim. A warrant was sworn
out against him some time ago, but was
not served in the hope that Talbot would
make amends for his villainy by marrying
the girl, and thus avert all trouble, bu
he did not seem to be possessed of suffi'
Gent manhood or inclination to prompt
him to that step, and at last it was neces
sary to make use of the law. A ceremony
with an officer as groomsman will be the
consequence.
The child was born in Chicago, from
which place Miss Lewis returned few
days ago, leaving the child there.
Since the above was written it has BEEF
learned that the marriage ceremony ha
been performed, and that Talbot ha
made all the reparation possible.

STRONGER THAN BEFORE.
Mayor Mott has been Weighed in the
Balance, and is not Found
Wanting.

Even our political opponents, in looks
ing over the work of the democratic city
township convention. are compelled to
admit, that from mayor down, the ticket
is by all odds the strongest one ever put
in nomination by the democrats of this
city. In the nomination of Mayor Mott
they are both glad and sorry at the same
time. His official record, bears great
similarity to his personal and business
records-clean and unimpeachable-and
in him they see tower of strength that
battles all their ingenuity to overcome.
On the other hand they know that if he is
elected the city's interests are in the hands
of one who will not see them abused.
Two years ago the Union attempted to
shake Mr.. Motifs confidence with the
people, by bringing forward the argument
that he was inexperienced in municipal
affairs, having only served one year as
alderman in the city council. But its
fears ~ have been shown to be unfound'
ed, for instead of mistakes and blunders
Mayor Motifs administration has demon
strated that he possesses fine executive
ability, and in every sense has made t
model mayor. His previous record as {
business man was a sufficient guarantee
that he would serve his constituents will
credit, and the democracy Of Rock IslanC
never performed wiser act than whel
they selected him as their standard bearer
He made noble fight and he won.
Now the city has had the benefit of
democratic administration for two years
and Mr. Mott comes before the peopl
again as the democratic candidate 70
mayor VIII he be elected? We think h
will; why? Because he is still the EN-
bodiment of all those manly qualitle
that carried him to success in 1888, ant
his official record stands out bright an
clean, and will satisfactorily bear tn
most rigid inspection. Economy is one c
the fundamental principles of successfr
government. The municipal year jus
closed, shows that the expenditures arr
without exception, less than in any yea
since 1879, and probably for many veal
previous to that time. Nearly every fun
has balance unexpended, and $1,000
+ has been placed in the sinking fund. TIL
is certainly a creditable record, and OF
which should guarantee Mayor Mott a r
election by a handsome majority.
