ANOTHER REVIEW FAKE.

The Revie,o dished up another false
hood to it's readers Sa turday evening,
under the heading of Business Fail
ure." 1t stated that s'the business
house OF John Glotzbach, at Spring
field. Brown county, Of which Wen
dell Vahle was manager, was closed
on Friday, by creditors. The liabili-
are said to be about SIG, 900 and the as
sets about $4,000"
The above contains not one single
word Of truth, and does an injury
which cannot be estimated to widow
and former Mankato citizen. The
store was not closed by the creditors,
sheriff or anyone else, and is doing a
good business. The assets are hot
$12, 1000, but about 1000, while the
liabilities are $4,000. The firm has a
large winter stock on hand, valued at
S2S, 900, and business has been a little
slack at Springfield as at other places.
The holiday trade is now about to
open, and the firm has an excellent
outlook. 1t is true that the attorney
of several timId creditors. wanted an
assignment made, but other creditors
knew that the firm is on a satisfac-
tory basis and that the outlook is fav-
orable. The Reviews fake would have
had tendency to ruin the firms cred
it had that paper possessed any infiu-
ence or credibility, but as it does not
the firmswill continue to do business.
Mr.. GlotZbach died last spring and
the store is under the management of
Wendell Vahle, who was formerly in
business in this city. Mrs. Glotz-
bach's interests are being well taken
care of.
The most disgraceful feature con-
nected with the publication of the ar
ticle Saturday was the fact that the
editor of the ReUieav gave his word to
Mr.. John G. Thro, who is an interest
ed party, that he would not publish
the rumOrS that were afloat Saturday.
The FREE.PREss gave the same prom
Use to Mr.. Thro and, of course, kept
the promise, as it had no desire to in
jure the standing of reputable bust
ness concern which was solvent. In
stead of showing the same good faith,
the ReuieaU made the matter a hun
dred times worse by saying that the
house had been closed and giving a
garbled account OF the assets and liza
bilities, showing that the latter eX-
ceeded the former. 1t is not to be
wondered at that all connected with
the matter are exceedingly indignant.
This is but another sample of the
estimate which the Reuieao holds of
honor and truthfulness.
Hereafter readers of that unreliable
sheet will question every item of a
sensational nature which appears in
its columns, remembering that it has
had murder committed at Lake
Madison where there was none, that
it has had murderous assault and
bold robbery committed on Glenwood
avenue where there was none, and
that it has had reputable and sub
stantial business house closed by it's
creditors when it was not.

The last Republican Congress appro-
priated not quite 81, 100. 900, 600, and
the Democrats called It to account for
extravaganza. They failed to men
ton that the French spoliation claims,
back pensions and many other mat
tiers that Democratic Congresses had
been too mean to pay were settled by
that Congress. The total included
the great expense of carrying on the
many departments and of building Il
new navy. The State of New York,
with population of about one tenth
of the whole United States, has,
through its Democratic Legislature,
proposed appropriations figuring up
more than one tenth of the amounts

The popularity of 1.-The Great Rock

known as the ROCKY MOUNTAIN LINZ
TIED, and will be put in service MAY

few of the large cities through which
Il passes, are Davenport, Des Moines,
Council Bluffs, Omaha, Lincoln, Bea-
trice. Fairbury, Belleville, Phillips
