ing for $4,000 damages against the
morning Union for libel. Circuit Clerk
Gamble issued a summons and placed it
In Sheriff Silvis' hands for servive.
The ground of the suit is the extended
and abusive article appearing in last
Wednesdays Union beaded "The Nc
Entry cheek" and which treats of the ais
lowsnce by the council Of bill for $500
for legal services on the part of Mr.. Nc
Entry outside of his duties as city attor-
ney and during the period of his incum
bency of the Office of city attorney The
chief assertions made by the Union
to which Mr.. McEniry takes exception is
OF 'betraying the city's interests, in dis
missing the cases against the revolving
butchers IN connection with the
sbsttoir. and pending in the Henry
county court. Mr.. McEniry further
considers that his character is outraged
by the Unions intimation that he
would prefer the bill be settled ac>
cording to Judge Glenns ideas than
Judge Smiths. an accusation, which, by
the way. casts as severe and entirely un
just reflection upon Judge Glenn, as it
does Oh Mr.. McEniry. There are numerous
other charges contained 10 the Unions

separately but which he spe AXIS of in gen
eral terms as Of nature wholly unjus.

Without entering in the east into the
controversy which is at the bottom OF the
present suit. IL is no more than candid to
state that the Union has seemed to take
particular delight in sbusir Mr. McEn,
Try ever since he became city attorney;
nor has it confined It's attacks to the ma,
ture Of purely political Indulgence. but
has taken seeming pleasure in giving
space TO personalities. slinderous and
libelous statements.
Mr.. McEniry has not made it point To
express his displessnre with any assaults
that have been made during the heat of
political passion, though The Onion has
made many that were not only cowardly
and out of place. but wholly without
foundation. but he does feel that when
his manhood, his personal character is
attacked, he has but one proper redress in
the maintenance of his s.lf>respect and
that is to seek the pro ection of the
courts. This he has done

Because the Republican incumbent
Moved into Democratic store.

HnLsDALE, Nov 21.-The republicans
seem to be having no end of trouble with
their rural postmssters. A short time
ago the party difficulty and public dis
satisfaction was at Rapids City. Now it
it at Hillsd4le. James Mills is
postmaster. Recently he was obi,
ged, because of unpaid rental,
TO remove the Office, and he To-,
Gated it in Chss. Gerhardt's store.
Gerhardt is democrat and herein lies
the root of the trouble. Under the lead
ership of G. W. McMurphy the republic
cans have held communion with the
leading representatives of the e. o. p. of
Moline and Rock Island with a view of
having a man placed at the helm who
will not rent an Office of a democrat.
There has been faultfnding with Mills
ever since he entered upon his duties and
while the party bosses are squsbbling, the
public is the sufferer.

pie put of caring for their heath-not because
they are really careless. but because we live our
lives at such pace we have not time to give the
subject sufficient thought until we receive re-
minder in the shape Of a severe illness.
Then, too, we are constantly bcwdered by the
various schools of medicine, and by the physi-
sicians who represent them, and often blunder
in our choice of doctor.
