this Is so, although it has been suggested
that IN the case where the temperature 90

to the character of the rock in which the

TUESDAYS ELECTION
A VICTORY IN DEFEAT.

The election is over and the re-
turns as published in the daily papers
show the election of Hon. H. W.
Ogden by handsome majority.
While this is true MIR. Hicks has
accomplished the main object Of his
race, rebuke OF the executive COM
mittee for the un-democratic method
selected of holding the primary. We
believed it ur-democratic then and
think so still. We commended for
principle and believe we maintained
it, though Mr.. Ogden was elected.
Our race was not against the Dem
ocratic party, nor had we any inten-
ton or desire whatever to-attempt its
overthrow, or to weaken it even. To
the contrary we believed by running
| it would cement the bonds 10 closer
union, and teach public servants, ex-
ecutive committees, etc, that the peo-
pie, not they, are the sovereigns.
Their action has been sustained by
the people only under great stress
and a vigorous application of the
party lash, and appeals to party fealty.
This was done and feel assured
not because it was right or we wrong,
but it was decided better to submit
once more to an irregularity than risk
an apparent overthrow 70 the Demo
cratic party.

correct policy to either forces against

UN MANLY.

Mr. E. H. Randolph's declaration
that the Democratic party had taken
care of MIR. G. D. Hicks eyer since he
was q years old was unmanly, IN
fair and unwarranted,
In the first place 1t is not true by q
good number of years.
In the second place the Inference
was that Mr.. Hicks was unapprecla-
tive of the party which had honored
Kim, and was striving now to disrupt
il. This inference we consider by far
the graver crime of Mr.. Randolph's
commission, Of the two; because the
records will show the falacy OF his
statement Of the period of Mr.. Hicks
Office holding, while the insinuation
! of lack OF appreciation, given as it
was before an audience of preju-
| diced people, was calculated to be re-
ceived without investigation into its
truth OF talsity. r
| Not one line in a newspaper or cir
cular written by MIR. Hicks, nor one
word uttered by him during his can
yass, will bear out Mr.. Randolph's
insinustion. Mr.. Hicks speech that
same night was in direct opposition
to the spirit of it; and he has always
claimed to be Democrat, was run
ming as such; had been so Endorsed
by the Peoples Party, and always
claimed to be perfectly willing tc
submit to the rule of the majority.
We fully appreciate the fact tina
Mr.. Randolph would like to pose as
leader in the Democratic party anc
we do not blame him for aspiring tt
: such position. 1t is a laudable am
bition and one which his friend
might encourage. But he shoul(
learn two things if he desires to wea

he is at perfect liberty to adopt its

But neither Mr.. Randolph nor any
one who may be numbered among his

drive Mr.. Hicks out Of the Demo

it is his home and it affords him
quarters too comfortable for him to

HERE'S "A QUEER MESS.

Two Well Known Gentlemen
Plead to Indictments.
Something of a sensation was created
in the criminal court room at the dis
trict court yesterday afternoon when
the names of DR.. Tord Nelson and
Charles Taberman were called, and the
gentlemen themselves appeared to
plead to bills of indictment charging
them with having attempted to commit
heinous crime. DR.. Nelson has an
office at 1907 Washington avenue south.
and Mr.. Taberman conducts the saloon
known as the Bodega at 40 Washington
avenue south. The complainant in each
case is a Scandinavian servant girl
named Betsy Vestfoss, and she alleges
! that the two defendants cOnsplred to
and attempted ali abortion upon herself.
The date of the alleged offense is April
20 of last year.
When DIR. Nelson was arraigned he
entered plea Of not guilty. He was
asked if he had an attorney, and replied
that he did not think he would need
gage one, so he was bound over In $500
bail to appear for trial Feb. 81.
Mr.. Taberman looked trifle be-
wildered as he listened to the reading
OF the indictment. He averred he did
not know what it meant. but at the adj
vice of his attorney, Il. l.. Penney, ell
tered plea of not guilty. anl had his
Gaze set for trial OH the 21st, with $500
bail. ssl
=aDr. Nelson, in speaking OF the case,
remarked thatit was queer thing, tax
ing it all in all. 1.-The girl Betsy, "he said,
formerly worked for me. She came to
me last April and requested me to COM
NIT an abortion, and l refused. The
funny part of it all is that she gave
birth to the child two months ago. The
child is we'll, and so is the mother.
How. then, can L he guilty of the crime
charged? Bah! such stuff"
MIR. Taberman smiled when asked
about the affair. He swore, with a
mighty oath, that he knew nethiug
about the case at all. He was nom
plussed, he said.

The confirmed announcement that O..

Iousley admits, he is appalled, at the
enormity of the work involved aud the
care necessary to successfully bring in
detail before the world the wonders of
the exposition. 1t is no new thing
for Mr.. Tousley to be at the head of
literary affairs, as for years he
mas been known In connection
with his admirable work as sunerin-
tendent of schools in Minneapolis. Dur

Mrs. Potter Palmer will supervise the

will relate specifically all that was &C

The director general will give a report
by Mr.. Davis, supplemented by detail
reports from each of the thirteen chiefs

umes for this part of the work, or one
half of the entire history Prof. Tousley
thinks the work OF the local board will
be the most interesting feature. John
Boyd Thaclier will have the
final division = the committee on
awards while each of the $1,000
beneficiaries will contribute 300 words
to explain the points of excellence of
his work. OF course Prof. Tousley will
have entire control of the work, which
will be commenced almost at once. The
state commissioners of the Columbian
exposition will meet this morning at
the capitol to hand over the surplus of
$4,000 to the state. and Mr.. Tousley

HERE'S ANOTHER OF EN-.
HIRAM X. COLE, or THE GUARANTY
e LOAN, INDICTED.
THE CHARGEGRAND LARCENY.
DR.. Ford Nelson and Charles
Tabersnan Indicted on the
Charge of Attempting an
abortion on a Servant Girl
The Three Indicted Men Plead
Not Guilty.

The public is destined to hear a little
more about the gigantic fraud concern
known as the Northwestern Guaranty
Loan. Yesterday afternoon. when the
Dugan trial had adjourned, Judge
Jamison was notified that there were
several persons indicted by the grand
jury who were ready for arraignment.
One of the persons was none other than
hiram K. Cole. the treasurer and sn-
perintendent of loans of the Guaranty
Loan company. He was arraigned on
the charge of grand larceny. preferred
by the What Cheer Savings bank, of
What Cheer. 10. The bank alleges that
Mr. Cole is guilty of grand larceny for
the reason he negotiated and received a
loan from the bank to the amount of
$1,000 on promissory note which was
to all intentions fraudulent.
The note was purported to be signed
by E. Sanders, and was Endorsed by the
oan company. The Mr.. Sanders was
highly recommended by the company
and he was stated to be:
IA thrifty young man. who is ac-
cumulatlng some property, aud who
takes care of his credit
The bank claims that Sanders does
not exist; that he is a myth. This
argument and others were used before
the grand jury in securing the bill of
indictment against Mr.. Cole.
When the loan cofnpany's official APP
peared before the clerk he was repre-
Sented by Judge Shaw as counsel. The
latter stated that he desired time in
which his client could plead. Judge
Janison gave him until Friday morn
ing, and fixed the bail at 500. The in
dictment sets forth that the money on
the note was secured OH Dec. 81, 1892.
