geant and was such until 1877, when
he was promoted to the captaincy, He
served on the police force during all
the great strikes out there,
and was many times compli-
mented for the courage and
wisdom which he displayed. He
left the force in 1884. when he
was elected Supervisor and Treasurer
of the Town of Lake. He held the
position two years, handling in the
meantime $2,000,000 of the peoples
money, and never was there the slight
est doubt that the peoples interests
were at all times properly guarded by
him. In 1886 he formed a partnership
with Thomas Byrne for the purpose Of
doing contract work. In 1888 the
firm did a business of upward of $500
00O, including the laying Of the great
water main in the Town of Lake, which
alone cost 100000. The firm owns a

First Glass Men Named for the Various
Positions, Although Many Chronic
Kickers Are Grumbling.
But This Is a Poor Year for GrumblerS,
and the Regular Party Platforms
Must Rule.

The Democrats and Republicans
have made their nominations, and the
tickets are before the public. The nom
ination of Thomas Lynch, Jr., on the
North Side, by the Democrats was a
compliment to the young men. AS
stated in THE EAGLE last week, he is
upright, honest, and able, and will
make a model Commissioner.
The good thing about Mr.. Lynch is
that he works with equal earnestness
for every man on the ticket with him.
There is no doubt about his election.
Honest John Spry, whose popularity
has so often been demonstrated, again
heads the Republican ticket His
name is a tower of strength, and will
rally around the polls and to its sup
port men of all classes. The balance
Of the Republican ticket is hardly up
to the standard of the Democrats.

constructing its road-bed over lands on
which the Standard held leases, on the
ground that an oil or gas lease carried with

purposes save alone agricultural. The

the position taken by the Standard that
its leases of lands included the right To con-
troll the surface TO such an extent as to pre-
vent the owners from giving or selling the
right of way across IL for railway or
other highway. Judge Pendleton decided
that the leases made TO the Standard by
