Nentilatiug Heater.

Alex Macarthur, circuit clerk of Mercer
county, is in the city today on little
business. While everybody admits that
Macarthur makes an efficient public ser
want, it is not generally known that he is
an inventive genius, but such appears to
be the case.s And his genius doesn't run
in any foolish direction, either. He has
been applying his brains to ameliorate
the condition of suffering humanity dur
ing the frigid months Of winter-whose
icy grip is about to clutch US by the fore
lock-and his efforts have not been in
vain. The spirit of his dreams ran to
stoves, very substantial but unromantic
subject. He saw the couutys coal dis

being reached in the room, and he then

success, and as result he has secured
a patent for "NcArthur's Ventll>

a simple, successful and. economical
system of heating and ventilation for
schools, churches, court rooms, halls,
stores, offices etc The heater has the
appearance of regular stove, with the
addition Of q ventilating section on top
and cold air pipe at one side. Mac

have no trouble in bringing it to the at

The Free Delivery.

The petition for a free delivery service
at Rock Island has been forwarded to
First Assistant Postmaster Stevenson at
Washington by Postmaster Halves, and
it now only remains to await the answer,
when Rock Island shall have the much
needed and consequently much deserved
convenience. The petition contained four
hundred names and had the time been
taken as many more could have been OBJ
tanned. The city is entitled to the con-
venience and it will certainly be granted
Postmaster Halves says he is anxious to
inaugurate the system before stepping
out. in order to distinguish his admins

returns from Washington.

Court Cuttings.

An interesting point was developed in
the Koepping and Smith horse stealing
case this morning While on the stand,
James Vanstta, the prosecuting witness,
stated that he had given the property af-
terward stolen. to his daughter, Ida Belle
Vanatta This. of course. took the
wind out OF the states attorney, as il
would be impossible under these cir
cumstances TO prove the defendant
guilty in the manner and form as charg
ed in the indictment The case was SUBJ
mitted 10 the Jury and Il verdict of not
guilty as charged returned The ques,
ton now arises as to whether or not this
will clear the defendants entirelv-if they
cannot be indicted for stealing from Ida
Belle Vanatta--and this point Is now be-
ing argued.
The B0etger murder case and Coyne
cases have been postponed until next
term. Court adjourns Saturday.

BAD FOR BENNETT.
The knights OF Labor Justly indlS
nant at the Action Of the state
Master Workman.

For some time it has been apparent
that Bobby Bennett who has had the ae~
cidental good fortune to be advanced
to position of honor IN one OF the
noblest orders of modern times, was
shamefully abusing the trust SO imposed
upon him, and using it to accomplish his
own personal and political ends For a
long time the knights were inclined to
believe that Bennett had been misrep
resented and that he was true to the or
der he had been elected to fearlessly and
honorably represent The feeling of
mistrust on the part oil the knights has
grown however, and when during the
last political campaign, Bennett turned
his back on the Knights of Labor entire-
", and the candidate they had endorsed
for congress, after himself urging the
nominee they were sustaining. simply be-
cause other interests had prevailed" up
on him to do so, fUrbearance ceased to
be virtue longer, and all over the dis
trict the branches of the society have
shown their disapproval of the master
workman's conduct.
At special meeting of Freedom As
sembly, No. 1857 of this city, called tor
the purpose the other night, motion
was unanimously carried that the sense
of this meeting be that State Master
Workman Bennett be censured for his
action in using his Office as state master
workman in the late political campaign. "
At a regular meeting of Black Hawk
Assembly, No 553S. X of L., of Milan.
recently, these resolutions were adopted
unanimously:
WHEREAS, Late developments prove
that the Office of state master workman of
The Illinois Knights of Labor has been
degraded into one of political influence
aud
WHEREAS, We believe that our state
master workman has brought our general
legislative committee into contempt be-
fore the order; therefore be it
Ros3'ced, BY Black Hawk Assembly,
No 553S, that We deprecate the fact and
hereby demand the resignation of the
present incumbent in that office.
In Moline the same spirit of indigna>
ton on the part of the knights prevails.
The probabilities are that at the next
meeting of the state Knights of Labor or
ganization, Bennett will receive keener
rebuke for his misconduct than any of
thpsa
