Our distinguished, enterprlsing and lib
eral hearted citizens of Ottawa propose to
give or nominally lease to sewer pipe
concern that wants to start In that city
eleven acres of ground belonging to the
county. Ottawa has some of the most gen
erous dispositioned people to be found in
any city They are the most willing peo-
pie to give away other peoples property
that are now permitted to linger In this
cold and uncharitable world d-IStreator
Free Press.
All men are liars-except Streator edi.
tors. They only make mistakes y. There
never was any such proposition made. The
American Sewer Pipe Co. own their own
grounds go acresJ obtained by purchase
from the Reddick estate. The canal sep
arates their property from the countys
lands for which they could have no use.
The glass companies wanted to buy few
acres of sand rock; but as the county
refused to sell that ended the matter; and
that was all that was ever said about lease
or purchase of county lands

cLosE INQUIRY.
A Court Martial Summons Citizens to
Testify In a Case.

-Four citizens were yesterday summoned
to Fort Russell to testify before a court
martial. Some three weeks ago there
was a free fight at May Vests dive in
the west end and when the shower of
stones, furniture, cuspidors and bad Ian
guage had subsidized it was discovered that
one of the participants, a soldier, had
been seriously wounded.
Policemen FASTENED to the scene of the
melee. and arrested the occupants who
had failed to depart after the suspension
of hostilities. The prisoners were ar
Ranged in JUSTICES court, but nothing
could be learned of the combat.
Next day a soldier unable to answer
roll call attributed his disability and the
wounds about his head to a fall into a
cellar. His story was discredited and an
investigation followed. Several comrades
corroborated the testimony of the injured
man, but the officers were suspicious and
after consulting with members of the city
force subpenaed the civilians, when what
they all along believed to be the truth was
substantiated.
1t is believed that several trials for per-
Jury will result.

T NOON TEA.
Pleasant Entertainment at he Parlors
of Yrs. Il. C. David Yesterday.

The afternoon tea given by the young
ladies of the Episcopal Sunergae at the
parlors of Mrs. E. q. David yesterday
afternoon was a very enjoyable and uc-
cessful event. The novelty of the occasion
and the hour named in the invitations
attracted many, but the certainty of a
large attendance of handsome young
ladies probably made the other induce
ments combined secondary.
From 4 o'clock until 2 hours later the
David residence was overlooking contiu-
ually. Tea and other dainties were served
by the ladies.
The affair netted the society about $50.
Many hope that the afternoon tea will
soon be repeated. 1t is quite a unique
and a very pleasant form of entertain
ment.
Members of the Sunergae arc elated
over the encouragement they. received
ard will probably soon attempt something
on a larger scale.

Bandmann In New York.


Mr.. Bandmann was constantly hailed
with plaudits. He has seldom, if ever,
worked with greater force and evident
sincerity. His picture of Hyde was COM
pletely satisfying as the perfect embodi-
ment of Stevenson's weird fancy. 1t
thrilled, it awed all the time it was on
view. AS DR.. Jekyll he approached much
nearer than Mansfield to the novelist's
portrayal of the suffering physician, fo;
his pathos was sincere, his moral course
reasonable, and his final struggle intensely
interesting.
