The excitement and Indignation in the
southern part Of the city over the change in
the location of the hose reels was even more
intense yesterday than on the preceding day,
A petition TO have the old system restored
was circulated and over two hundred signers
secured, representing the largest property
owners in that part of the city. Among them
were the following responsible business men
of the city: Keystone Manufacturing COM
pany, Deere, Wells & Co., David Bradley &
Co., Crystal Mill Grain company, Chicago
Lumber company, Council Bluffs Lumber
company, Cole Bros, Marseilles Manufacture
ing company, d. H. MCDANIEL Il Co., George
Bebbington, McClurg Cracker company, Tip
ton Coal company, Thomas Officer, L.

l., kahle, ID. L. Gleason, Hoist & Spetman,
5. II. Kelley, J. Il. Evans, kimball Il Champ,
J: P 4 J. \; Cassidy, F. " Spetman u
The petitioners claim that the change has
endangered their property, and seek a rene
dy at the hands of the city council. The
property in question is among the most valu-
able in the city, embracing the lumber yards
and wholesale implement houses, as well as
many of the leading retail houses. Chief
Walters is severely scored, as he Is claimed
to be the cause of IL.
On tue ctnef hand, WATERS seeks 10 shlrK
the responsibility, and says the change was
ordered by the fire committee
Alderman knepler, who is a member OF the
fire committee, says he knew nothing OF the
change until he read it in Yesterdays BEE.
He thinks the council should not Interfere
with the workings of the department, and
advocates the removal of the chief If he is
not able TO run il in a satisfactory manner.
The general management OF the department
comes in for much adverse criticism
I by the public. The big truck
is started out TO all fires, and the
men who are stationed with it fail to reach
the majority Of them. In fact, one Of the rea-

After the Mayor-The Coun-

About 0 o'clock yesterday morning an
aged resident of the city by the name of II.
c.. Henderson, residing on Harrison street,
opposite Fosters greenhouse, fell through a
trap door in the grocery of E. b. Gardiner,
on upper Broadway, and sustained serious
injuries. He was walking to the back part of
the store and did not notice the trap, which
had been left open TO dry out the cellar,
which was flooded by the ram of Sunday
afternoon. Mr.. Gardiner heard the fall and
rushed down stairs, to find the unfortunate
man lying on his head and shoulders, with
his face in the mud. RE was extricatod
from his perilous position and taken up
stairs, when it was found that he was una
BILE TO move, and a doctor and the patrol
wagon were summoned. He was removed to
his home, where DR.. Lacey attended him. 1T
was found that his neck was dislocated, and
it required considerable skill to set it prop
erly to prevent death from ensuing. The
chances are greatly against his recovery.
He is sixty years of age and has resided here
for four years. He was formerly a resident
of Warren county, this state, and is an uncle
of Judge j. II. Henderson, of the Des
Moines district. His G.. A. II. comrades are
interested in his care, and are doing all pos
sible to alleviate his sutferings.

The Vanished.

On the morning of the Nth day Of
August. 1872, Charles j. Reid, a young
man of twenty-five years, living at
Xenia. o., fell dead while waking across
the dining room in his fathers house,
says the San Francisco Examiner.
The family consisted of his father,
mOthe", two sisters, and II cousin, Il boy
of fifteen.
All were present at the breakfast
table when Charles entered the room,
but instead Of taking his accustomed
seat near the door by which he had
entered, passed it and went obllquely
toward one of the windows, with what
purpose no one knows.
He had passed the table but a few
steps when he fell heavily to the floor
and nevcr again breathed.
The body was carried into a bedroom,
and. after vain efforts at resuscitation
by the stricken family, left lying on the
bed with composed limbs and covered
face. In the meantime the boy had
been hastily dispatched for IA physician,
who arrived some twenty minutes after
the death. He afterward remem bcred
as an circumstance that
when he arrived the weeping relations
father. mother, and two sisters-were
all in the room out of which the bed
room door opened and that the door was
closed. There was no other TO the bed
room.
This loon was at once opened by the
| father of the deceased, and as the ply
stefan passed through it he observed the
| rigid outlines of the body under the
sheet that had been thrown over it, and
the profile was plainly discernible under
the face cloth, clear cut and sharp, as
profiles of the dead seem always to be.
He approached and lifted the cloth.
There was nothing there. He pulled
away the sheet. Nothing.
The family had followed him into the
room. At this astonishing discovery
if so it may be called-they looked at
one another. at the physician, at the
| bed, in speechless amaZement, forget
ting to weep.
a moment later the three ladies re-
uuired the physicians care; all had
| tainted and fallen to the floor. The
fathers condition was but little better:
he stood in a stupor, muttering inartic-
ulately and staring like an idiot.
Having restored the ladies to con-
ciousness the physician went to the win
dow-the only one the room had-open-
ing upon II garden. 1t was locked on
the inside, with the usual fastening at
tached to the bottom bar of the upper
sash and engaging with the lower.
No inquest was held-there was moth
ing to hold it on, but the physician and
many others who were curious as to this
remarkable occurrence made the most
searching investigation into all h cir
cumstances, but without result. Charles
j.. Reid was dead and gone" and that
is all hat is known to this day.

The Mankato Review asserts that we
do Cleveland an injustice by crediting
him with the statement: 81 believe in
free trade as I do in the Protestant re.
ligion.'' Yes, Review, you are right;
we were mistaken in believing such an
assertion, as Cleveland's letter of &C.
ceptancs certainly lacks those same,
outspoken sentiments in favor of free
trade which were so manifest in his
message to Congress. Yes, Cleveland
has come over little; we acknowledge
this in due haste, lest our democratic
friends would accuse us of being I'M
just, and we now ask our champions
on the other side to do our Harrison the
justice and retract the statement made
by them that the republican leader
should have said: "A dollar dav is
enough for working man. This, as
has been conclusively proven, was nev.
er uttered by Harrison, and in justice to
him a statement to the contrary is
nailed as a lie.

The SLEEPY EYE HERALD in COM
mon with the MANKATo REVIEW falls
into line with the rest of the trumpet-
ing organs and publishes fat editorials
relative to Doodle and corruption, and
charges it to its political oppon-
ents. If these champions of democrat
ic doctrines would only begin right. at
home and expose the fraud existing in
their own ranks we might call their
course one of consistency, but in their
eagerness to give wide spread circula-
ton to the long exploded ssDahP' sto-
ries, which have been proven an utter
falsehood, maliciously started by the
time.honored democratic bosses, Me
and Mike, they entirely overlook the
charges made against their own candi-
date for governor, whose nomination is
said to have cost over 100000 in gen
uine North Star coin.
The simple fact that all these lies
about DahIs offers of Doodle have orig
mated in the st. Paul democratic camp,
where the schemes against the oppon-
ents of Doran's bossism are Matched,
should have setthe Herald and the Man
