Another Exciting Day in the
Chicago Court.
Henry Stoltenberg is Arrested,
but Afterwards Released
Seven Conspirators Indicted by
the Grand Jury.

CHICAGO. Oct l7.-Great excitement
prevailed about the grand jury room this
morning. Witnesses came and went,
officers wee dispatched here and there
rapidly, and appearances indicated hat
something important wash progress. The
first witness was a man named Kelly.
When he came out he refused to talk to
the reporters. Henry Stoltenberg, stem
ographer in Windes Il Sullivan's Office,
was in for halt an hour and when he came
out he rushed off in a great hurry to find
MIR. Windes. After be had disappeared
that gentleman made his way into the
court house and was examined by the
grand jury. When he came out of the
room he said to the reporters that he had
not told the grand Jury much, chiefly be-
cause he did not know anything they
wished to hear. He had come around in
the interest OF Stoltenberg.
At l O'Clock the grand jury came into
court and handed in twelve indictments,
eleven of which we're on Jail cases and
the twelfth a Joint bill against Mark
Solomon. John Graham, Thomas Kava-
Alexander l. Hanks, and Joseph Konen.
AL hhNnC hC ntlS 1lIGhug uuuGT luuRCl-
ment for conspiracy to bride iurymen.
After Mr.. Windes left the grand Jury
room he asked States Attorney Longe-
necker for an order TO see Stoltenberg.
The states attorney wrote something on
a card and Mr.. Windcs went to his office,
where the policeman on guard refused to
let him in. The attorney went away. but
returned shortly after with an application
for a writ of habeas corpus asking for
Stoltenherg's release. The matter was
set for hearing at 4 o clock. but in the
meantime S~toltenberg bad been released.
The application was Withdrawn.
Stoltenberg refused to answer any aucs.
tions put to him before the grand jury
until be could see an attorney. He de-
clared that he was unlawfully restrained
of his liberty and that he could give no
testimony under duress.
No new jurors were obtained to-day in
the Cronin trial. -Four places remain yet
to be filed. The defense still has eight
%peremptory challenges and the state
thirty'three.

sale was made Of the Lelber, Maus and
Schmidt breweries to a company in which
English capitalists are represented, for
81, 500 1000. A large part of the money
has been paid and the rest is to be paid
over in a short time. The Schmidt and
Leiber concerns were sold for 81, 900, 900
each and Maus' for S500,0 00. The total
output of the three breweries is about ITO
barrels daily. H.. Nj. Bigelow, who had
charge Of the negotiations, says there is
no such thing as an English syndicate and
that the purchase here is by different men
from those who have invested in mill
properties elsewhere. Schmidt, Leiber
and Maus have interests in the new COM
pany, and will be retained to manage
their respective breweries at large salaries.
The present condition of the concerns
aside from the ownership will not be dis

F~erdinnnd,s Triumph.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE announcement
that German and Austrian bankers have
made a loan to Bulgaria which that gov
ernment has been vainly seeking to nego-
tiatc for over a year is a piece of inior-
nation the political importance of which
can scarcely be over estimated when it is
known these same bankers had repeatedly
refused to MAKE the loan on the advice of
Prince Bismark himself, who pointed out
as the sole cause of rejection that no
European power had as yet recognized
the existing government of Bulgaria.
The fact hat the money is ready to be
drawn upon within twenty.iour hours
after Bismark's conference on the subject
Of Bulgaria with the car is accepted in

Spokane Falls new Line.

The Union Pacific railway, having COM
pletod it line to Spokane Falls, Wash
ington Territory, is running its trains di-
rect to that point. thus forming the
most desirable route from the east on &C
count OF its Pullman Palace sleeping
cars, Pullman dining cars, and free Pull
DIan Colonist Sleepers.
Spokane Falls is situated in the Palouse
country and is the distributing center for
a section Of the Northwest, the resources
of which are unlimited. As an ~illustra-
ton: $4,000 bushels of wheat have been
raised from | 900 acres Of land. Another
feature of the country greatly conducive
to the raising OF crops, is the r~ainless
harvests, no rain falling while crops are
being harvested.
Many desirable farms may yet be had
in this remarkably productive region on
reasonable terms, and a moro favorable
opportunity for procuring a farm cheap
will not soon present itself again.

Considerable has recently been
said in the newspapers about the can
didacy of George A. Spaulding, of
this place, for judge of the district
court Mr.. Spaulding authorizes us
to say that he is not and will not be a
candidate for that position but will
favor Hon. L. K. Pratt, the preeent
incumbent, and he does not doubt
but that the sentiment in this county
as well as the district at large is ia
vorable to Judge Pratt's renomina-
ton and election Had Mr.. Spauld-
ing decided to be a candidate we do
not doubt but he would have made a
spirited race, as he has many warm
friends all over the district As it is,
Judge Pratt's prospects for being his
own successor are very bright. So
far as the HERALD is concerned, it,
some months ago, expressed its ad-
miration for L. K. Pratt as a Judge,
and takes this occasion to say further
that the Judge has done so we'll, has
shown himself to be so competent for
the responsible position, that it is but
Just and fair, and in accordance with
well established precedent to give
him another term. We hope to see
Phillips county solid for him.

Bishop Huntington, discussing the
modern church, declares that under
the evil influence of commercial and

sensuous, luxurious and selfish. Com
mercial forces are pushing their way
into the church, and spirituality is
oozing out. The shrewd business
men get the positions of vestrymen
and trustees. SO also the rich Oc-
cupy the best seats, while the poor
sit in the corners. He wants the pew
renting dispensed with. Any system
that puts cash before piety, and bust
ness tact above goodness, he holds to
be a sin. SO. after all, it is not ag-
Mysticism and science that are doing
the mischief, but pride and luxur-
ious worship of the dollar. The bish-
Op speaks the truth.-E.r.

Eviction Going Ahead.

During the first three months of
the present year there were i, 581 evic-
ton notices filed in the courts in Ire
land. We do not of course present
the fact with an idea that it will sur
prise anybody-anybody at least who
knows what sort of thing government
in Ireland is. A person not knowing
this and hearing from time to time of
evictiOns, assisted by police and mill
tary, might wonder why it was that
such a condition of matters should
exist under the sanction of govern
ment, seeing that one of the functions
of government is to protect the peo-
pie. In every country where the ma
jority rule that function is dis
charged, but in Ireland the ruling is
in the hands of the minority, who
hate the masses of the people, and
who, therefore, encourage by every
means in their power the policy of
evictiOn.-ITj8b World.
