Indignant RedfieId Citizens.

Cpccldl 10 OlODe.
REDFIELD, Jan. 16.-County seat mat
tiers in this county have been meeting a
fresh airing during the past few days. A
desperate attempt backed by Ashton par
ties, was made to have a number of promi-
nent citizens of this town indicted by the
grand jury which adjourned on Thursday
evening. Failing in this, they at once had
the parties suspected. fifteen in all, arrested
and brought before Justice Bowman of
Ashton, from which court q change of
venue was taken the next morning. and the
case removed before an Athol justice. This
afternoon, after considerable wrangling on
both sides, the case was adjourned for two
weeks. The testimony on which they seek
TO convict will come from one {. K. Will
Jams, until recently agent of the l.. c.
Porter Milling company at this place. The
parties arrested all waived examination
before the AthOl justice, except D. S. Bas-
ford, who will stand a hearing. The I'M
necessary stirring up of county seat matters
is generally condemned by the masses of
the people of the county. some of whom
regard it as nothing less than desire on the
part of Ashton to make capital for next

lue receipts OF cattle ana nOgS were the
largest ever handled here. and hogs fell but
little short OF the largest preceding year.
In comparing deliveries the Burlington
ranks first, as it has for many years. the
Northwestern second, the Rock Island third.
and ST. Paul fourth. The roads traverse a
larger area of country tributary to Chicago
than any other lines, and also have more
extended connections in the Western cattle
ranges. The Illinois Central and the Alton
both make good showings. but their deliv-
cries are leSsened by transfers made to roads
south Of this point. There was a moderate
cattle business diverted from the North
western lines by the opening of the Cana
dian Pacific from Winnipeg to Montreal.

the numerous plans submitted for the statue
in Lincoln Park. The following resolutions
were adopted.
Resolved-First-That, after a careful and
faithful examination and consideration of the

the subject on the park where it would be
located.
Second-That the treasurer Is instructed to
collect as soon as possible all subscriptions
made TO the Grant memorial fund and report
the total amount TO this committee.
Tnird-1hat the efforts of the committee be
directed to the selection of designs of an

tract for either statue or pedestal be entered
into until after the treasurer has reported

AID. Otis and Cornish were in the council
at the time. Both are lawyers and ready
takers. They took but little interest in
the electric light business. 1t was about
the same in regard to having flowers in our
public parks. While these two gentlemen
were not exactly opposed to the electric
light or the flowers they thought it was
better to wait. but if we must have them it
must be only in the minimum of quantity
From time to time they dropped humorous
remarks about the electric light and the
flowers and poked great deal of fun al
