The Monument to BE Erected at Lake
Forest, Ills.

The leading citizens of Lake Forest, a
suburb of Chicago, have raised funds to
pay for the erection of a monument to the
memory of Samuel Dent, who, according
to the statement of their printed circular,
twas a worthy citizen, the children's hero,
and everybody's friend" Dent, who was
an Alabama negro and a slave before
the war, became resident of Lake Forest
in 1871, and during the subsequent years
amassed quite a competency as an express
and livery man. The secret of his popular

The Latest Story About @. M.
Foote'S Mission i'm the East.
The evening Journal last night pub
lished the following epitome of all the
Stiffness promulgated by the Republl-
can papers in general and the evening
papers in particular since the campaign
began last August:
1t is given out that C. NJ. Foote and Tom
Scott have gone East to see the mayor-elect
and in the hope of promoting the claims of
Bernard Cloutler: as matter of fact. how
ever, both gentlemen undertook their pill
grimage TO get the soon-tobe official ear and
urge the claims of q. NJ. Foote for the Office
of chief of police. The feeling between the
Clans Winston ana Foote is not friendly;
the latter was thoroughly identified with The
Glenn ring of the party, and the mayor
elects friends say that "ChoIly'' f Jote never
recovered from his disappointment at 1ailing

likewise dubbed 'sorehead.' Tom, il is

he could not run 1t to suit himself. Mr.. VIM
stOn is thoroughly cogniZant of the true
state of AFFAIRS SO will hardly listen to the
pleas made by Messrs. Foote and Scottin be-
half of the former.
c. NJ. Foote has repeatedly declared
that he would not accept the superin-
tendency of police if rendered him OH
silver salver. Moreover, he has openly
expressed himself as favorable to
Cloutier's candidacy; and c. M. Foote
is not Janus faced; nor is he Identified

silly as to be almost unworthy of no

in absolutely abolishing the coari
house commission, should it feel dis
posed. The committee also brought
back several pieces Of information
which have not found their way into
the newspapers through the regular
channels. Here are some Of them.
The court house commission, during the
first year of it's existence. paid $4,000 In
premiums for plans. The third prize
for eXcellency, etc.. was at thai
time awarded TO Long Il Kees-not the
first. but the third. Then all those plans
were discarded. and Long d KEGS were
hired to draw new plans. without com
petition. Those second plans were
adopted. They were adopted without
an expert ever having been put upon
them to figure out an estimate
of them according to those plans.
The public believes that the court b0use.
as now under construction, will cost
Si,000.000. According to that. Long &
KEGS will receive something like $780,,
600. The commission never received all
estimate of cost from the architects
until less than four months ago. Even
now, no plans and estimates are pre-
pared except those applying to
the first story of the build

the whole building. The above is in
brief the report of the commission to the
delegation. The commission is accused
of carelessnesS and negligence. The
delegation has not yet decided upon
action regarding the court house,
but In the light of the above
report what will be done
can be imagined. The delegation has
reached decision in connection with
the new city charter. As foreShad0wed
by the GLOBE over two weeks ago. the
criticism will never again be made that
the mayor is figurehead. Under the
new charter which Minneapolis will be
given this winter, the city government
will be modelled after the national gov
ernment. The appOintive power
will no longer be vested solely
in the council. To the mayor
VIII be given the authority to appoint
all heads of departments, such as city
engineer, city attorney, city assessor,
superintendent of the workhouse,
superintendent of the poor department.,
superintendent OF the water department,
etc. The council will be reduced
to its proper sphere, that of an advisory
and legislative body. The heads of de-
partments, being appointed by the
mayor, will be responsible to him, and
will form, in measure, his cabinet of
advisers. This decision is applauGed
by thinking men as one OF the best re-
forms proposed.

KOESSEL Is RELEASED.
Attorney Frank Nye Enters NoIle
in His Case

When the case of the state against
Emil V. KoeSsel came up yesterday
morning. Attorney Robinson, for the
defendant, was present with his client,
awaiting the appearance of the county
attorney. When Mr.. Nye appeared for
the state, he said that it lad been de-
cided to enter noile in the case, as the
case had been tried once efore and a
disagreement was reached. He did not
believe that verdict could be reache d
in the case. Emil was therefore re-
leased and left the court free man
once more.
The probable cause of the release
was the fact that stipulations dismiss
ing the civil actions of the Albert Blum
lodge had been filed IN the district court,
the sums having been settled. 1t was
authorltatively stated that he had paid
the lodge the full amounts claimed.
