republicans OF the Bureau, Stark and Put,
nam district will remove from that body
the Oldest member in point of continuous
service in It, Mr. Whiting has been state
senator for sixteen consecutive years, and,
though always bitterly opposed by factions
in his own party, he never failed of re. nom,
ination until Tuesday las, when, by pc
culiar combination brought about by a
trade between his opponents at home and
those In the county of Stark, he was rele.
gated TO the walks of private life.
The removal of Mr. Whiting from the

1t coming to the ears Of Dan Trainor, ESQ.,
a young attorney of this city, that MIR. Tues
berg, the proprietor of feed yard south of
the City Mills, had circulated vile Islander
upon him, Mr.. Trainor, with witness,
called upon Tuesberg for retraction. High
words followed, and finally Trainor became
greatly enraged and shot twice at his de-
famer, but did not hit him. Trainor re
turned to the court house and surrendered
himself to the proper authorities. Tuesberg
denies having spread the story further than
giving it to an officer as merely his suspi-

al district will meet In convention at Jolie.
TO name candidate for representative In
the lower house at Washington. 1t Is the
earnest wish of the democracy that the
convention act wisely and with the utmost
deli3eration. A careful study of the polit-
cal conditions In the counties Of La Sale,
VIII, Grundy, Kendall and Du Page war
rants the belief that Ralph Plumb is not
strong enough to carry them If judicious
nomination is made against him at Joliet
He can be beaten, he ought to be beaten.
He is not a proper or safe man to occupy
the position of national legislator
The duty, then, of the Joliet convention
is to place before the people a candidate
who has the respect of all who know him,
who, In every sense of the word, Is honest
and upright, who will receive the vote of
every democrat in the district AMI who
will draw heavily from the republican
ranks, His political integrity must be as
unuuestoned and unquestionable as is his
financial honor, and his financial honor
must be, In the broadcast sense, above sus-
IicIon lie should not be, he must not be,
commercial statesman" He must be
such man as will enable his supporters
10 draw sharply the contrast between their
candidate and the republican nominee,
thus making the contest not one Of plat
forms but one of men. Distinctively, the
question at issue In the Eighth District
during the ensuing canvass must be one of
brightness of personal character and pc.
litical methods. Upon this Issue the sue
cess of the democratic candidate Is assured
The man who, meeting in every respect
the needs of such candidacy, should be
nominated at Joliet Is Judge HIRAM ii.
CODY, of Naperville, Du Page county, An
honorable man, he has the sincere respect
of his fellows; deeply learned In the law,
he has won high standing among the jur-
lists of the state; a profound student Of po-
ltical economy, he has never masqueraded
In the trappings Of a political mountebank.
Honest in every private transaction and
above reproach In his public acts, he would,
with credit TO himself and with profit TO
the people, discharge the duties of the
congressional office.

personal sacrifice the taking of a nomina.

THE TOWN BOARD.


The town auditors and commissioners Of
highways met on Tues lay last, Supervisor
Reed in the chair. He gave notice that the
Bank of Portsmouth, having a judgment of
ST 100, with costs in addition amounting 10
Sl25.40 had gotten the town into such
corner as to compel them to levy a tax to
meet these amounts or the auditors must 90
to Jail for contempt Of court. Under the
circumstances it was deemed best 10 levy the
necessary tax. 1t was so ordered, and the
clerk directed to certify the same to the
County Clerk. The Supervisor also said thst
the incoming bills would reduce the town
funds in his hands so as to make a town tax
necessary. He thought he could pull through
the balance OF this year and next with about
thousand dollars, but nigh. get along with
$500. Lockwood moved that q town tax of
fifteen hundred dollars be levied for the en-.
suing year. Carried. Lockwood, as assessor,
was allowed 1857 for fees as assessor. On
motion Of Lockwood, J. F. Reed, supervisor
Of the town, was allowed $3.50 back pay for
last years services as overseer of the poor
On motion of Calvin, Msierhofer was al
lowed salary of 1904 for the year instead
of fees for services as clerk, to commence
from the date of his election.
The commissioners of highways announced
that they desired tax Of 80 cents on the
one hundred dollars for the ensuing year.
The clerk was ordered to certify the same to
the County Clerk. To correc, q misappre.
hension as to the amount which this levy will
produce, we present the figures given US by
tax clerk McManus. The total eoualized
assessment for tie town Of Ottawa in 1885
was as follows:
Lands, Sl4 ,773; lots, S645,lsS; per.
sonal, $425, 46l; railroads, Sl54,57l. Total,
81 ,S76,9 1893, which, with the usual overrun.
ming fractions, produced tax of$S, 277.4S.
This year the assessment is, lands, Sl49,.
1000; lots, $65i,5l7OO; reisonsl, S45,-
537.S53 Railroads not in, but will not vary
materially from last year, Sl64,57l, giving
q total of Sl,376,993. A levy of 60 cents
will produce tax of Ss,5l6,lO. which by
reason Of the increased assessment will be
S2S9.62 greater than the tax Of last year.
Owing to the commissioners of highways
being in An inharnonious condition, they all
present bills for overseeing roads, sometimes
all of them charging for services on the same
road on the same day. Calvin moved that
they pay themselves out Of the road and
bridge fund. Larkin moved the town fund
be used. A debate followed, and finally the
whole subject was referred to special com.
mittes Of Calvin, Smith and Larkin to inves-
Iigate, and they investigated half day and
will meet this Saturday afternoon 10 finish
heir examination. and will report to the full
board next week.

Police Items.

Judge Weeks has been running his law
mill pretty regularly Of late, and last week
ground out grists as follows: Mike Duffy and
Mike Ryan got up prize fight at White 8
brewery, but the police claimed foul, and
the Judge took away the gate moneys
and costs from Duffy and $40 and COSTS from
Ryan.
Some cattle got into neighboring field to
their pasture in Ruhand, and were seized
for damages committed, as the statute pro-
vides. Their owners, Nels and Sam Hender-

costs three dollars per head, as the statute
specifies.
Fred. Williams, VIM. Murphy, VIM. Stew

at different dates, for INDUCING in too much
bewilderment.
. On the West side, on Thursday evening,
woman's voice, in shrill shrieks, shattered
the tremulous air and aroused the neig

band of unfaithfulness to his marriage vow,
and having followed him to another house,
saw, or fancied she had, discovered some.
thing to feed the flames of her jealousy, so
she lifted up her voice and yelled police
till the whole ward resounded in piercing
echoes Of her voice Officer Brennan soon
came and sent the parties to their several
homes.
