We do not see that the decision Of
the Supreme Court, though sustain
ing the law, should render it impossi-
bic for the taxpayers to be relieved
from their error. 1t will still be
within the power OF the people,
through their drainage board, to aban-
don the job. And such we have not
the slightest doubt, whatever the Su-
preme Court may decide, will be the
outcome. Chicago never had a serious
thought Of building such a ditch as
the drainage law contemplated, but
finding that the valley would stand
no evasion or nonsense, she backs out
OF the scheme, satisfied that going
further out into the lake after water
and doubling the pumping works at
Bridgeport, all will be accomplished
that could have been by the only
ditch she ever had any serious idea Of
constructing.

While the rain at Ottawa on Sun.

While the rain at Ottawa on Sun
day evening was comparatively mod
crate and attended with but little
wind, the sky around us, and espe-
cially to the southwest and south,
had really dreadful appearance, and
we looked with some anxiety to Mon
day mornings papers, almost certain
of finding accounts OF destructive
hurricanes or tornadoes. The papers,
however, are burdened with no har-
rowing dispatches. The worst that
occurred seems to have been severe
wind, rain and hail storm, of which
accounts come from Monmouth, Kan
kakee, Bloomington, Rantoul, Gov
ington, Ind, etc. Hail fell as large
as walnuts and many windows were
broken, the rainfall also averaged
along the route from three to five
inches, raising streams to flood
height, carrying off bridges, etc, and
doing considerable damage to growing
crops, but there was no destruction
by the wind.

THE SUMMER RESORT.

Joseph H.Muhlke, of Chicago, attOr-
ney for Ferdinand WaltherS and the
other Chicago gentlemen who recently
purchased Starved Rock, was in the
city yesterday to make necessary ar
engagements for the settlement of the
purchase from Col Hit.
According to his statements the
company will expect the people of OF
tawa to assist yheni considerably. TIE
company will take possession CO the
ground at once ard the new hotel will
be completed according to present
plans by July |. 1t is the intention to
build road eastward from the Rock
to the canyons, and also another road
from the Rock westward down the river
to connect with the east road. The
people of Ottawa and vicinity will he
called upon to build the west road.
Mr.. Muhlke stated further that the
company intended purchasing the 265
acres adjoining the Rock and convert
it into park, which is to be laid out
after the most approved fashion.
If these plans are all carried cut sue
cessfully we will have the most beau

KILLED AT PERU.
A German Beer Wagon Driver Fails t.
Run Over a Locomotive.

A German, in the employ of the
Union Brewery at Peru, was almost
instantly killed by the engine of No
8 Rock Island freight, at the foot of
the hill west of Peru, Wednesday after
noon.
The German was hauling load of
coal up the hill, and, instead of keep
ing a lookout for trains when at the
crossing, was giving his attention to
a couple Of men in neighbOring field.
He drove upon the crossing when the
train was hardly fifty feet away, and
the engine struck his wagon near its
front end. throwing him against the
front of the boiler and MASKING his
head in terrible manner.
The wagon was totally wrecked coal
flying in all directions and breaking
the windows of the engine cab. A
chunk of considerable size struck the
engineer upOn the mouth, cutting his
lip. The harness became fastened to
one of the flag-statis of the engine and
the animals were dragged alongside
some fifty feet before the train could
be stopped. They were only slightly
injured

A LEGAL QUESTION.
Which Suit Had the FREDERICKSBURG
Trenary's Opinion.


Squire Trenary gave VIM. Degen
Judgment for $40 and costs against
James Bates Wednesday. There is a
fine point of law involved in this case,
upon the settlement of which the legal
fraternity differs considerably. VIM.
Degen got a judgment for $50 against
Henry Carroll some time in the fall of
last year, but the writ was returned,
no property having been found. Bates
boards at the st. Nicholas hotel, and
Degen recently learned that he owed
Mr.. Carroll a board bill and COM
menced suit to recover the Carroll
judgment. with Bates as garnishee.
Prior to this, however, Henry Car
roll commenced suit before Squire
Weeks to recover the amount of the
board bill due him by Bates, with II.
G. King as garnishee. Both suits were
started on the same day. A dispute
arose as to which had the preference,
and it was claimed on one hand that
the writ in the Degen-C Carroll case was
served first. j. b. Rice, attorney for
Carroll. held the suit started in Weeks
court had the preference. j. K. Mad
den represented Degen and M. N.
Armstrong represented Bates.

DON'T WANT DRAINAGE.

The enthusiasm with which Chicago
voted six months ago for ratifying the
Drainage law and rushing the city
into an expenditure of from fifteen to
twenty-five millions to construct a
huge drainage ditch, has all petered
out, and now one paper after another
of that city is beginning to express the
hope that the decision of the Supreme
Court will be adverse TO the law and
the whole wild project will receive its
quietus.
There is no need of it, says the
Journal. At present the hydrant
water of the city is not contaminated
and what with the new take-in en-
tended "A mile further out into the
lake, and the increased pumping
works at Bridgeport, pure water will be
furnished the city for years without
danger of contamination for years to
come.
The improvident terms of the
drainage law are only beginning to be
understood. The press and people
favored It's ratification without I'M
derstandiLg its merits or dement's.
at will be a Panama canal job" con-
tinued the Journal. Instead of sl0,-
600, 900 it will cost thirty to fifty mill
lions" The Supreme Court must
give the taxpayers relief from their
error. Then when congress provides
for the construction of the Hennepin
canal-which will be before the drain
age canal could be constructed-the
need for expenditure by the Chicago
taxpayers will be obviated.

Miss Lou Copp and Chas. r. Hook Mar
ried at PlainSeH, Mich,

Miss Lou, daughter of DR.. and Mrs.
Copp, and niece of Mrs. W. w. Taylor,
and Chas. e. Hook were married at the
residence of the brides parents at
Plainwell, Mich, Wednesday noon.
A large number of invitations had
been issued, and from best reports re-
ceived in Ottawa the affair was the
most splendid which ever took place
in Plainwell. beautiful village of
1000 inhabitants, on the Kalamazoo
river, and in the center Of the famous
white wheat belt of Michigan.
Mr.. Hook and his beautiful bride
will reach Ottawa on Sunday, after a
short tour Mrs. Hook will find a
warm welcome in Ottawa society in
which she already has considerable
acquaintance, and Ottawa will gain
one of Michigan's faireSt daughters.
1t is hoped that her splendid contralto
voice will be often heard in Ottawa.

The Worthwhile Cooperative Creamery is
Doing Big Business?

All is quiet in the little village of
Worthwhile and the creamery war
which waged fiercely for several weeks
is at an end. Those interested in the
concern got their heads together and
effected a compromise. The special
committee appointed by the people
examined the books kept by Mr.. Carr
during the year 1899 and found a bal
ance of $40 in his favor. But the
farmers considered this amount a
mere triile.
1t was decided that if the farmers
got in 5000 pounds per day he would
charge them but cents per pound
for manufacturing the butter. If,
however, a smaller amount is brought
in they will be charged cents on the
hound.

JUGGLING THE RETURNS"
a Mares Nest That the Enterprising q
News Gatherers Have Discovered.

News Gatherers Have Discovered.
The evening papers are talking Of
juggling returns and of contest by
Mr.. IIannetin of Judge Weeks cleo
ton as police magistrate on the
strength OF the returns in the Fifth
ward. This great find might have
been anticipated, as the matter was
talked about on Tuesday night about
town; but the affair was deemed too
trivial to be worthy of notice, even in
the face of street and barroom talk of
irregularities" in that ward.
The facts in the case seem to be
these: The judges and clerks of cleo
ton were all elderly men, who were,
with perhaps one or two exceptions,
entirely inexperienced at this kind of
work. In beginning the count, the
first step was to ascertain IL the num-
Der of the ballots cOrreSponded with
the number of voters names placed
upon the pOll-list made during the
day. The ballots, folded, were removed
from the ballot-bOX and divided into
three piles, to be counted by three of
the officers. On the first count the
ballots exceeded the number of names
registered as voting by twelve. On a
second count the discrepancy was
eight ballots. Then the work of count
ing was turned over to one man, the
rest looking on. BY this time the cleo
ton officers had become somewhat
accustomed to the noise and perhaps
not overly polite language of the crowd
outside anXiously waiting for the re-
suit, all of which had rendered the
count by old inexperienced gentlemen
in hurry not as reliable as that of an
adding machine. When, however,
one man took hold of the work he
found the number of folded ballots
and the number of names on the poll
book correspondent, but he also found
that what appeared to be one folded
ballot really was three ballots, two
extra copies of the ticket voted being
folded in the true ballot. They were
all for Weeks. but all were rejected,
making the actual number of votes
counted one less than the actual num-
Der of voters recorded on the pOll-bOok:
and Weeks lost vote by some voters
blunder or futile attempt at sharp
practice.
This is all there is in this great find,
out of which Rose. with his character
iStic mutilatiOn and manipulation of
facts, endeavOrs to weave his usual
w.etched attempt at a sensation, in
order to enable him to pose as "a
sheep in a VOLTS clothing.

The election in Providence, II. L.,
on Saturday for one senator and eight
representatives to the state legisla-
turc resulted in "A brilliant Democratic
victory, the Democrats electing the
senator and seven of the eight repre-

of from two to four IN the Legislature
and thus insures the election by that
body Of the whole Democratic state
ticket, which fell a triie short of
having a majority over all at the
recent state election. The Democratic
candidates. whose election is thus

BRILLIANT UNIFORMS.

and Dance.

and Dance.
The party given by the Knights of
Phythias of this city was one of the
most pleaSurable events which has
even been gwen under the auspices of
the order. Nearly $50 witnessed the
drill which was the finest of the kind
ever given here by any order. a sQad-
ron of sixteen picked men with Com
mander Krouse at their head, executed
the newest and most difficult move
ments. The red plumes waved to and
fro, as the knights marched back and
forth, and the bright swords glistened
as if they were things of life. The
uniforms were of the latest design and
attracted marked attention. The
manner in which they formed the
Greek cross brought forth general APP
plause. Willis orchestra furnished
music and George Fischer and Miss
Anna RabenStein led the grand
march. Dancing commenced at $3.50
o'clock and continued until early
morning.

"Shall they be protected" asks the
Inter Ocean. "The largest sheep ranch
in the world is in the counties OF Webb
and Dimmit in Texas. 1t contains up
ward of 100000 acres, and yearly past
ures SOC, 600 sheep"
1t takes about dozen of men and
twenty-five dogs to attend these sheep.
Their owners are probably English
men or Scotchmen, who visit the
ranch" once or twice year. If they
can sell their wool for 10 or II cents a
pound they are coming money. Some
of their wool is as good as that for
which 30 to 10 cents IA pound are starv-
ing prices to the Ohio and Vermont
wool growers. Oh, yes, these Texas
sheep lords need protection" very
much. See the enormous amount OF
labor they employ! 1t is true, it costs
the American people agood many mil
lions to afford these gentry adequate
protection" but then, think of the
vast good the money is doing in
turning many Scotch or English
blasted heath into gorgeous hunting
park.

Rev. +. Duckworth, Methodist
preacher, in a horse trade. The ques-

what he makes by swapping horses.

While the people of Chicago no
doubt feel greatly relieved over the
failure of Erickson's prophecy, they
should not forget that they owe it all
to man named Hamilton, from
Louisville, Ky. 1t was impressed
upon him that Chicago could only be
saved by the vicarious sacrifice of his
own life, and being at Clinton, ILL.,, at
the time, he heroically went out and
threw himself under an advancing
train and was instantly killed. And
yet il is doubted whether the Chi
cago city council will even honor him
with vote of thanks.

Last year this country imported
l4,5S5,55O dozen of eggs, against a
home production of about $4,000, 600
dozens. OF course an addition of one
egg from abroad to every 60 raised at
home must disastrouSly effect the
home market, and the Mckinley
tariff lays tariff of cts. dozen on
all imported eggs to stop this ruinous
influx. Eggs to-day retail at 10 cts. a
dozen in Ottawa. Now wont the
farmers be jolly to see eggs at this
season. when the new tariff goes into
effect, jump up to Is cts! They'll see
it in horn: but another thing they
will see clear enough, that Mckinley
has been trying to humbug them.

The Mckinley committee, at the
last moment before reporting its tariff
bill to the house on Wednesday, con-
cluded to eliminate the tax on hides.
After hearing the ground swell from
the country on the subject they con-

own hides.
