FROM OTHER HOTELS.
For the last seven months the proprietors Of
the Hotel Waldorf have missed quantities Of
sllverware and china. Special Officer West was
put on the case, but did not make much head
way. and after four months Of watching he
became confident that the servants were honest
Last night he learned that the man who carried
away the refuse from the hotel was in the habit
of coming into the kitchen at 8 o'clock in the
morning before any one but the Waterman was
around Yesterday morning West decided to ar.
rest this man suspicion. He went down to
the Chares-st. station and got Policeman John
Miller to go with him to the home Of the ash
man. William Inquest, at No. 10 Laght-st.
I,induest when arrested denied that ne had
taken ANYTHING but said that he had found two
spoons in the ashes that morning. lie was, he
said, going to return them west made an ex-
animation Of the mans room and found eighteen
silver spoons ard forks. most Of them solid
valued at $50 He also found a quantity Of the
Waldorfs best china.
IJnnuest was then taken around to the Jeffer.
son Market Court BEFORE Justice 'ooriiis' mere
he reiterated his statement that ne had found
the stuff He could not account for the fact
that he had so much silver and china. Justice
Voorhis held him in 1000 for trial.
West thinks he has made good catch. All

that they were being Systematically robbed
Linouest does the cartins for nearly all the

the hotels early in the morning to cart away
what has been left over from the previous day.
The servants all know him. and as he has been
doing tho work for years have allowed him to
come and go freely West says that the Waldorf
has lost articles worth nearly sZVoo IN the last
CIV ar seven months. He cannot tell definitely
What the loss Is. however, until an inventory or
the silverware and china has been made. This
will be done at once

Corporal Robert Fivey, of the reg
ular service at Rock Island arsenal.
who is well known in this city, be-
ing the messenger between the ISL
and and this city. met with a pecu-
liar mishap at David Don's store last
evening. Corporal Fivey was in the
back part of the store. and it being
dark, did not observe the elevator
shaft. and in attempting to walk
across fell in, dropping to the ground
in the basement, a distance of six
feet. Fortunately. however. the cor
poral was not injured, the only effect
being a little stiffness of the limbs
today, and Fivey himself is toe much
of a soldier ia let little thing like
that bother him much anyway.
A scaffold on which were four men
at work suspended from the new
building of the Sylvan island steel
works gave way this morning, and
all the men, except one. caught on
some beams below and saved them
selves. The one exception, however.
hung by one hand until }. W. AIMS
worth, who was on the ground below.
told him to drop and he would catch
him. The man did SO. alighting on
Ainsworth's shoulders safely. Aims
worth, however. had not noticed
that under his own foot was a spike,
and the force of the other man fall
ing on him drove it clear through
his foot.

WHYTHEY REJOICE.
The Explanation of the Ecstacy
Over Hemenway's Election.
A REPUBLICAN, SHERIFF Is NEW.

First in lie Years Elected This Fal-An
aud well-Thc Recent Incumbent Dep
uty silvis.
Small wonder the republicans are
rejoicing so much over the election
of +. G. Hemenway to the Office Of
sheriff at the recent election. II is
the first time the party has had pos
session of the Office for u years, al
though desperate efforts have been
made at each election within that
period to regain possession since
John NJ. Keticker captured it in 1892.
Frank Ankrum was the lat of the
faith to which Hemenway attaches
himself to enjoy the office. In the
year last mentioned Reticker was
elected by 2,455 to 2,207 for Morris,
having plurality of 24S. In
1886, L. S. Silvis had 1861 votes
to 1854 for Parson Morgan, a
plurality of %, the campaign be-
ing one of the NEST momentous
and eventful in the county's history
equaied only since by that OF 1890,
Wucu non. Den - Sablc was elected
to congress. and in both of which
years the republicans put forth every
effort. and fought with all the des-
peration and determination posi-
BILE. In 1890 Gordon had i,453
votes, to Pearsall's All; plurality
of 342. these facts clearly showing
that with anything like favorable cir
cumstances the democrats have been
able to elect their candidates TO this
office, and that Hemenway should
have been elected this fall is only a
part and parcel of the effects of the
republican sweep throughout the
country. due to combination Of
misrepresentation of existing condi-
lions and the Indifference of demo-
Gratis who remained at home on elec
ton day. The success of Hemen-
way. as that of McKeever, cannot be
construed either as party victory
or testimonial to individual worth
of candidates. The candidates in
each instance glided into Office on
the wave that swept over the state.
The democrats have showa what
they are capable Of doing in the past,
under fair test of strength. They
will demonstrate the same thing
again in the future.

UP THE CANAL.
Engineer Wheeler Beginning Operations
on the Feeder


The Sterling Gazette says Engi
neer Wheeler has already commenced
to spend some of his time with Diff
ferent maps spread out or hanging
on the wall before him. running a
quick eye and the tip of led pencil
from what will eventually be a point
on the Hennepin canal, not far from
Wyanet. to different points on Rock
river. The engineer will within a
few days take horse and carriage
and drive all over that part of the
country. and it is perfectly safe to
assume that when he gets back to
Sterling he will know as much about
every mile of it as any of the oldest
settlers. A survey will follow.
The Big Work.
After the survey will come the big
work. The magnitude of this may
be somewhat understood from the
fact that it will take about a wear to
get it what we may call fairly under
way. The force of men employed
will be large. The gentleman saws
that in securing the laborers prefer
ence will be given to men belonging
to the neighborhood. and that hobos
and worthless characters will posi-
lively be barred out. The proba BILE
term of completion of the work on
this section will be matter of wears.

Deputy Sheriff Siivis.

With the retirement of Sheriff
Gordon. there will leave that office
an official who has been identified
with it in a most responsible sense in
all. II years, and a more eff
cient, accomm odating official has
never been connected with coun-
ty institutions. Reference is here
made to +. 5. Silvis. who comm in
as deputy in 1874 under Sheriff Au-
gust Huesing. and serving the two
years to which the tennre of the office
was then limited. he was again called
to the same Office under She if Ret
ECKER. at the expiration of whose
term he was elected sheriff him
self, aud he would have succeeded
himself by an increased vote had
the succession of his candidacy been
possible under the law. He might
have had the nomination again last
summer. had he not positively de-
clined to run. During Sheriff Cor
don's term he has been his right-hand
man as deputy. and there is no one
IN the county so familiar with every
detail of the office as Sharp Silyis.
and the public. irrespective OF party.
will regret that his long period of
faithful service for the county is now
to be terminated.
