HOW JOURNALISTS AID JUSTICE.
An Incident of the Whisky King Investiga-
ton.

An Incident of the whisky-Ring Investiga-
Gen. h " Boynton. in Century.
Another instance to illustrats this branch of
the subject presented itself in Secretary Bris-
tow's able and crushing campaign against the
gigantic western whisky ring. Fortunately.
Just before he undertook it. he discovered that
the cipher of the department had been betrayed
to members of this ring. 1t was impossible
to fix the responsibility, and this uncertainty
caused both une asiness and perplexity. The
remedy devised was to limit the knowledge of
what was intended, and of all preliminary
movements. to the Secretary himself and his
solicitor, Maj. Bluford Wilson. 1t was further
agreed that the dispatches of the department
to and from St. Louis should pass in an arbi-
trary cipher prepared and held by two journal
ists one in Washington and the other in st.
Louis, and that no copy OF that cipher should
be furnished to any one, not even to the Score
tary or the solicitor. And SO it came to pass
by the Treasury Department in regard to prep
arations for surprising the WHISKY ring at its
work and all information received by il from
St. Louis mp to the moment that the govern
ment was ready to make seizures were first
sent to the journalists for translation and trans
mission in their cipher. As a result. a ring of
immense proportions and influence was broken.
millions were recovered by the government
and other millions saved. Later in the case
guilty men escaped because a President and
cabinet officials did not observe confidence in
regard to vital points Of the government evil
dence.

that it made an impression which the years
that have followed have proved was not a cor
rect one. 1t is really hard to realize that the
city whose praises are now sung by all Am-ri-
cans and foreigners. too. was seventy years ago
so small and ragged that comparatively few
people believed in its future. Lafayettes sec
rotary has chronicled his impressions of the
city: 1--WE were already half an hour within the
limits OF the city without finding q single habi-
tation. The plan of Washington is so gigantic
that it will require century for its completion.

He says nothing of his belief in the future
beauty of the place. A hundred years was too
far to look ahead, to mind the story of the ugly
duckling. This poor creature, il will be re-
membered. having been Matched out in the
ordinary course OF incubation was at once pro-
nounced so ugly that nobody had good word
to say for it. 1t was pecked at and snubbed
and universally abused. Ii ran away and tried
to hide, but il grew with extraordinary quick
ness and as it grew it became uglier and more
awkward than ever. But after awhile the ugly
duckling's plumage began to grow. too. and it's
proportions began to appear less ungainly. and
finally one day il looked down at its image re-
fected in the clear waters of a lake and was
startled to discover that il was an ugly duck
ling no longer, but was q most beautiful young
swan.
FEW BELIEVED N THE CITY THEN.
There was something like this in the growth
Of Washington. A few people from the very
beginning knew that no ordinary ducks egg
had been Matched. but the generality Of people
who saw the young city lying on the Potomac's
banks simply said that il was ugly. Its pro-
portions were 90 grand that before they filed
out the appearance presented was urcouth and
unattractive. Visitors from the north and
south were Jealous too because neither section
had secured the capital, and thus il happened
that the written accounts Of Washington in
earlv times are full Of complaints and rude
jokes. A foreigner thought tie place magnifi-
cent only in its distances. A Bostonian said il
was the paradise Of paradoxes," and another
writer concentrated his disgust when he said II

A DASTARDLY CRIME.
Albert Annis Bound Over to the
County Jail Charged With
Personal Assault on Mrs.
Ida Gilmore, of GAR
den City.

One OF the most dramatic scenes
brought before Judge Porter at the
city hall in many day was that Of
Mrs. Ida E. Gilmore against Albert
Annis, on the charge of criminal as
sault.
Mrs. Gilmore lives in Garden City,
while the defendant is a resident of
Sterling.
The examination took place yester-
day morning.
Mrs. Ida E. Gilmore, the complain
ant, is about twenty-three years old,
rather small in stature, and while
seemingly delicate, has a progressing
appearance. Her demeanor in the
witness chair was impressive, and she
proceeded with her story in calm
and deliberate manner. Those present
were favorably impressed. She told
that on the evening of Sept. 18th at
about the hour of nine o'clock, man
wearing a white handkerchief across
the lower part OF his face, and hat
pulled over his eyes, entered the house
by the door and seized her, and after
bruising her and tearing her clothing,
he committed an assault on herperson.
During the tussle and excitement the
william pulled arevolver from his peck
ct and cried out with a fiendish voice
II will kill youp After the assault
he again flourished his pistol and
said: Don't tell anyone"
As he left the house the witness de-
clares that Annis pointed the revolver
at her again and said II will watch
youw Continuing the witness said
that her husband was at Lake Crystal
at the time of the assault: that she
had known the defendant by sight
for about six years, and she positively
identified the prisoner.
AS she left the witness chair every
body in the court room believed her
story.
Inc witnesses who saw AnniS in
Garden City on the day in question
were E. L. Pettis, +. FaIrchild, E. a.
Terry, VIM. Thomas, e. w. Preston,
August Ziegler, E. T. Norton and J.
S. Wilson.
The prisoner was bound over to the
county Jail, and the witnesses, plain
tiff and spectators left the scene of a
case, which, if proven against the
prisoner will place him behind the
bars for not less than five nor more
than thirty years under the criminal
code. As this is not the first offense,
many people believe and think he
should get the full extent OF the law.

AT the yesterdays session of the

The rest of the session was taken up

and nothing of great Importance was
transacted. The Board adjourned
this afternoon.

unwincing gall? Mr.. Wanamaker
should be brought up standing for
such prudish impudence.

"MANKATO DAY."
The Weather Smiled With Cheering
Warmth Upon Those Who Re-
sponded to the Call.
A Fairly Good Turnout in Mighty
Good Cause.

Wednesday was day of pleasure and
instruction to many business men,
and ladies as well, who availed them
selves of the privilege of making a
personal inspection Of our natural re-
sources, but it is to be regretted that
many familiar business faces were
conspicuous by their absence. The
demonstrations of the day were ar
ranged for their benefit as much as
anybody. The Concordia band sta
toned themselves near the city hall
at an early hour and for some time
before the procession moved dispensed
popular airs for the entertainment
of the people who crowded the side
walk in that neighborhood.
The first place visited was the Man
kato Cement Works, when Supt. P.
III. Carney spared no pains to explain
the works from the time the material
left the quarry until it was shipped.
The next place on the program was
the Creamery Package Manufacturing
Company. Under the supervision of
Supt, c. II. Higgs the visitors wit
messed the process of manufacturing
butter tubs, egg cases and candy pals.
As the time was limited hasty
visit was made through G. a. EVerhart
& Co.'S Candy Manufacturing estab-
lishment.
III, p. Christensen at this point an
nounced that at two o'clock a visit
would be made to the brick yards,
stone quarries, Fibre Works, and such
other points Of interest as the time
would allow.
Owing to the extent Of the morning
and afternoon tour of inspection, and
the many business interests that de-
mand attention, together with other
engagements for the evening, tonight's
ex ercises in the city hall have been
postponed until a later date.
In subsequent issue of the FREE
PRESS a review Of the industries of
the city will be given.
