Exposed by the Herald and
Traced to q assCertain,. Clique
With Hnother Job.
The Herald is On;'' 1t Puts'
the Council sson;,, and
They'll Put the Tax con,

The fact that all city taxes
and assessments were levied some
time ago, excepting the sewer assess.
nlents, made it appear quite timely
for an articlein these columns calling
public attentionto the matter, and
suggesting that the assessment
should be made at once in order TO
reach the audi itor's office in time to
be placed on the tax books now be-
ing prepared. &c seemed to be a
matter Of public interest, and one on
which early action should be taken.
The writer could see no personal in-
telest in the matter, aud tried to
treat the subject in a fair manner.
The opinion was expressed that
some OF the sewer beyond the water
mains was not OF much benefit to
the abutting property and would
probably not be assessed against it.
1t didn't take the Herald but ten
days to discover a job in the matter
concocted by a certain clique, and SO
that paper nervously exposed the
matter Friday. The conclusions OF
the Herald are silly, and based on an
absolute falsehood stated in the arti-
Gle. It is asserted that the Tran
script opposed assessing the property
between First street and the river
because it belongs to the Improve
ment company, and some ojits men,
bers are putting up the money for
the paper (the Transcript in which
the above item appeared That is
untrue. No man who owns a cent s
interest in the Improvement COM
pany is stakeholder in the Trans
cript, or is putting up money forit.
We understand that all the stock OF
the Improvement company is held by
Louisville people, and we know that
no stock OF the Transcript Publish
ing company is held by any Louisville
party.
So, by absolutely removing any
motive for such a ''job'' as the Her
aid discovered, the "Fine Italian
Hand story appears very trashy.
Still, it is quite Heraldesque.
However, we are yet unable to see
what use sewers are to abutting
property where there are no water
mains. No use can be made of them
until the water works are extended.
Is it the plan OF the Herald, in it's
fairness, to advocate move that
would probably result in an extern
sion OF the water mains? We hope
not: The council really has serious
subject before it, and their action
should be such as can be safely fol-
lowed in future years, Their duty is
not to reject or receive newspaper
advice. but. to fairly assess the cost
OF the sewer system, regardless of
who will pay the bills If it is evil
dent that the general fund should
contribute anything to establishing
or maintaining the sewer system,
the council will probably decide.

lack Sheedy Free.

A few days ago these columns an
nounced the arrest in Brainerd for
robbery Of Jack Sheedy, the trainer
OF Fitzpatrick. and his release on
habeas corpus proceeding The facts
as taken from Brainerd papers show
that when Sheedy left there in Octo-
Der he had but few dollars, and
when he returned last week he had
about $3 900. He was arrested by
the chief Of police on the strength of
a pOsta card description OF the man
and crime, but was released the same
evening by Court Commissioners Me
Fadden, and at once left the city.
Sheriff Catlin, from Michigan, ar
rived the next day, and made efforts
to- get him arrested He notified
Chief Roy Of this city that Sheedy
WIS last seen about six miles south
of Brainerd, and to arrest him and
telegraph If he came here. The pro-
ceedings under which he was released
were entirely proper, and the author
tiles Of this state had no right to
keep Sheedy in custody under the
circumstances The crime he was
wanted for was the robbing Of safe
in q store at Waucedah Mich. It is
q small town, and the prophet tors of
q store became afraid OF the city
banks while ago, and drew out the
money and kept II in theirsafe. They
lad 5000 there when the robbery
took place. The store was in the
rear Of q saloon, and the storekeeper
was induced to close the store and
leave town on the 18th. It is sup
posed that Slieedy and the two
saloon keepers then broke open the
safe and took the money Slleedy
left the country and the saloon keep
ers are under arrest ss'.ss

ST CLOUD sENsRTIoN.
w. 3. M,sche1l the Defendant
in q D:s.t for Danna-
ges .,

ST. CLoUD, Mimi, Nov. 23.-For
some time past ugly rumors have
been afioat here against one of st.
Cloud S foremost and wealthiest citi-
zens, and today the matter became
public and creates the profoundest
sensation in this city. 1t appears
that William B. Mitchell, for many
years resident director of the normal
school, president, OF the humane
society and founder and until year
ago editor and publisher of the
Journal- Press, is put in rather bad
light before the public. if the charges
preferred against him can he sub
=stantiated. Papers We're filed in the
district court clerk s office this after
noon by Bernard Schmit, an old and
wealthy German farmer of Cold
Spring, this county, demanding
damages from Mitchell in sum OF
$50, 900 for the seduction OF the plain
tiff's daughter, Maggie Schmit, who
for number Of years was a domestic
in Mr. Mitchell's family. K.
In the documents filed it is charged
that the accused maintained forsome
time the illicit relations, and when
the girl found herself with child he
made arrangements for her to go to
Montreal, Canada, where she was
delivered OF Il boy child on July 4,
1892. The downfall of the girl was
kept secret from her family. for over
a year, and when her brother, a
prominent citizen Of Omaha, learned
OF the disgrace his sister had sus-
5tained and the name OF the accused,
he at once took steps to compel him
to answer for the wrong done. =
Mr.. Mitchell for many years has
been a prominent member of the Pres
bytelian church, an ardent worker
in it's behalf and really one of the
prime movers in riading the city Of
its women of ill-repute. He was also
a leader In society, and the accusa-
ton is naturally a terrible shock
to the citizens. tits understood that
the defense Will set up b1ackmail. but
the fact that the action is brought
through the county attorney,
I'D, !, Sullivan, who has thoroughly
investigated the evidence to- be
adduced !, causes some doubt as to the
strength OF the black mail theory.
Since lie facts have been revealed
a strong sentiment has arisen de-
manding that the defendant should
resign his position asresident direct
or OF the normal school board pend
ing the trial Of the aeticn which will
be had next June. Much sympathy
is4felt and expressed on all sides for
the wife aud family OF the accused
and especially for his aged parents
who are among the Oldest and most
esteemed residents Of this city.
The girl in thecase now lives at
Omaha with her brother, but will
appear at the trial and give evidence
in the case. which promises to be
highly sensa tional,
