A DAY WITH THE POLICE,
Offenders Of Various Kinds Brought BE
fore the Criminal Court.


John Costello, the Fifth avenue
saloon keeper, appeared before Mag
istrate Schroeder yesterday afternoon
on a charge of assault and battery,
preferred by Julius DeKemp, who
claimed to have been handled rough
ly by the refreshnent dispenser after
all his greenbacks had disappeared
Saturday night. De Kemp's evidence
was not of sufficient weight to make
a case, and the proceedings were dis
missed. DeKemp then swore out a
warrant against Costello for keeping
open after midnight.
John Smith, arrested for creating
a disturbance Saturday night while
celebrating with his Belgian brethren
at a saloon on Twenty-second street.
was assessed S. and costs by Magis-
trate Schroeder this morning.
Magistrate Schroeder gave Chs
Olson, wandering individual, few
hours to make himself hard to find
this morning. Olson was arrested
Sunday morling by Officer Bender
for getting too familiar with refriger-
ators on Twentieth street.
Minnie Gilliner, the would-be
smooth character, who tried to work
the lost pocketbook racket on Res
tauranteur Thompson some time ago,
was picked, up in an alley too well
organized to navigate by Deputy
Long last night. She was taxed IS
and costs this morning, but couldn't
produce.
Neddy Kane crossed his knees,
gave the spinach on his chin a jerk,
looked at Magistrate Schroeder with
an honest expression, and promised
faithfully to let firewater alone here
after, this morning, and was let go
on the strength of his agreement.
Neddv had one of his usuals ON last
night and was arrested for raising
cain about his brother-in-law's home.
Mary Woods asked for change of
venue to Justice Weld from Magis-
trate Schroeder this morning, and
was granted her request.
James Mccain was arrested last
evening on a charge of embezzlement
preferred by G. f. Lambert. of the
Twin-C City Ice company, by which he
is employed as deliverer and oollec-
tor: The trial will be held the 18th.
Michael Knorr, arrested on a
peace warrant, gave bonds yesterday
afternoon for his appearance for trial
Thursday afternoon.

BEAT WITH THE BAT.
The Ottumwas Again Fail Victims to Rock
Islands Smuggling PrOpensities.

The Ottumwas Again Fall Victims to ROck
Islands slugging Propensities.
1t was another smuggling match, in
which the Ottumwas, like the small
boy and the street car, were thank
full to hold onto the hind end of the
string, as from the way the game
started, it was very much apparent
that they were going to be cast down
into oblivion. Nine of the doctors
boys shook their hoofs on the plate
in the first inning of yesterdays
game, and but for the lodging pro-
clivities Of Orlup,he would have car
ried more than one mark in his slaves
this morning. for the balls were dis
patched outward as fast as he could
put them in the neishborhood of the
rubber. Orlup pitched the first
three innings, in which Rock
Island did its most effective
work. This gentleman began to
show his generosity again in the third
and his Irritation with disaster caused
him to be given transportation to 60
farming in the left garden. Then his
spikelsts, Burris. began handing 'em
up, but he wasn't crooked enough for
the locals. even if they did have to
strain their peppers to see where he
was lat" Jameson for Rock Island
pitched fair game, but he, too. was
touched ap pretty freely, and but
for the extraordinary smuggling Of
his assistants, he might have come out
of the shuttle with Ottumwas on top.
There was some fine fielding by both
clubs, and it was a good exhibition
throughout, with an unusual amount
of hard stick work-just what
pleases the enthusiasts, who must be
supplied with ginger to keep the
fans waiting. Here's an interesting
story:

BRICK NOT IN FAVOR.
Public Sentiment Opposed to Anything but
Stone for the Court House.

Public Sentiment Opposed to Anything but
Stone for the Court House.
OF what shall the new court house
be built, is question that is now
agitating the public mind. and the
popular response is, anything but
brick-that 10 to say, let it be stone at
all events. The county would make
nothing in putting up brick build
ing where the difference is SO small
as between it and stone, and even the
highest priced stone. at that. The
voice of the pubiic'is with one accord
for stone, and Notwithstanding the
supervisors extreme disregard in the
past for the public wishes, it is to
be hoped that on this point they will
think twice before acting. The best
is none too good for Rock Island
county where the price is in any way
consistent with the county's condi-
ton.
On the question of brick. the price
is about 81 thousand more on one
quality than the goods have been
sold for in Moline.

SAID TO BE SHORT
Collector of Taxes at Spring
Valley, Mimi, Missing
From Home.
WAS A PROMINENT ATTORNEY.
Amount of the DefalCation
Reported to Be Over
$4,000.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 25.-A special to
The Journal from Stewartv1lle, Mimi,
says: 1t is reported in this section,
and there is every reason to believe the
report to be true, that A. r. Holman,
prominent attorney of Spring Valley,
is defaulter in sum ranging between
$40, 600 and $4,000. The greater por-
ton of this amount is Fillmore county
tax money. For years the county
treasurer has employed him to collect
the taxes in the west end of the county
and his returns have always been cor
rect till now. The matter has been
kept exceedingly quiet, but he has been
gone since June l.
His Whereabouts Is Unknown,
but it is thought that he is in the East
somewhere, probably in New York
city. The county treasurer and his
bondsmen will have to make good the
deficiency in taxes, as Holman had no
bonds and was employed simply as
citizen to assist the treasurer in part
of the county hard to reach from Pres
ton.
Holman is a prominent Mason, and
is a member of the Odd Fellows,
Knights of Pythias and Modern Wood
men. His friends still hope he will
turn up and that there is nothing
criminal in bis absence.

MORE WORK.
The Milwaukee Again Taking Inn
prOVementS.

Last summer the Milwaukee road
did large amount OF work on it's line
between this city and Wells, putting
in several substantial bridges in the
place of old ones and filling where
several trestleS were. This work is
to be continued this season, and two
work trains with full crews number
ing fifty men will go to work July 1st,
The flat cars, steam shOvels, ETC., have
already arrived and are ready for use.
More bridges are to be replaced, and a
good deal of work is to be done in the
yard in Mankato. An increase will
be made in the side track facilities,
but just where the new track will be
laid is unknown.
The payroll on this working force
last year amounted to $4,000 month,
and it will go at least that much this
year. When it is taken into consider
tion that these fifty men will reside
in Mankato while the work is going
on, the benefit to the city other than
that caused indirectly by the track
Improvements will be manifest.

COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Action Taken to Aid the City Emu.
meratOrS.

The Mankato Commercial club held
meeting Monday to consider the
city enumeration. The meeting was
not largely attended, but the desired
action was taken.
Secretary Brandrup reported hay
ing secured 80 members and thought
that there would be no difficulty in
bringing the number up to 100 during
the next day or two.
Various members expressed them
selves on the census question, and
Enumeration Sam Schmitt, of the
Second ward, was called upon, he be-
ing the only enumeration present. He
said that the way to help the emu
merators is to ascertain whether
there is an effort being made to sup
press names. He had only found one
instance of this, yet it would probably
be done so smoothly that the enum-
orators would not know of it. He
thought that if there was such an
effort being made, his ward would be
the one where such an effort would be
made. The number stopping at hotels
was another point of uncertainty. He
recommended that the club appoint
a committee to assist the enumera-
tors.
1t was voted to empower the chair.
man, Vice President Webster, to ap-
point committee of one or more
from each ward to aid the enumera-
tors in obtaining a correct count OF
the city.
1t was also voted to make public
announcement of the fact that the
secretary, j. r. Brandrup, would re,
ceive the names of all whom it was
supposed have not been enumerated,
and would turn over the names to the
proper enumerators.
There being no other business the
club adjourned.

NO INCORPORATION YET.
NORTH MANKATO CITIZENS GET
TOGETHER.
They Want Better Order Preserved on
Their Streets, and Will Ask for a
Deputy Sheriff. -IncOrpOration OPP
posed on the Ground of Expense.

A largely attended meeting of the
residents and property owners OF
North Mankato was held Monday at
the new Swedish Congregational
church, to discuss matters pertaining
to the welfare and good order of that
promising suburb, which now boasts
a population of about $50. AS preyl-
ously stated in these columns, the
question of incorporation as a village
has of late received good deal OF
consideration, particularly as by THIS
means it is hoped to preserve better
order. The opposition has been based
on the question of expenses and in
creased taxes.
The meeting was earnest and har-
monious, and the sentiment was unan-
imOuS in favor of preserving order and
shutting down on the toughs who
take advantage of the absence of
police protection. The inhabitants
have always been noted for their
moral and law abiding qualities, and
with the increase of population these
characteristics have not deprecated.
A. A. Curtis was elected chairman
and w. Hodapp secretary. The ques-
tion of incorporation was taken up
and H. P. Christensen and Geo. IL.
Marsh strongly opposed it, and after
the question had been discussed pro
and con for some time it was dropped.
The moral aspect of the case was
then taken up, and Rev.C. E. Ryburg,
pastor of the Swedish Congregational
church, made an effective speech in
favor of taking active steps at once
against outside tOughs, who cross the
bridge and disturb church services,
break up the quiet of Sunday, and
render the streets unsafe for ladies in
the evening, especially near the
bridge, where a crowd of diSSOlute
and drunken young men congregate
nightly.
Other speakers followed in the
same line, and it was finally voted to
appoint committee to ask Sheriff
Block, of Nicollet county, to appoint
deputy sheriff who shall live near
the bridge and protect the communi-
ty from the invasion of hard charac-
tiers from this city. The chairman
appointed as such committee, w. c..
Hanson, H. P. Anderson, w. P. Full
Ter, J. Coughlin and Geo. Kreger.
The protecting of the bank along
the city side of the river was COM
planned of, ON the score that the cur
rent of the river is thrown against
the Nicollet side, endangering prop
erty there. 1t was decided to bring
the matter before the county commits
sioners at the next meeting.
The meeting adjourned and the
committee on deputy sheriff will
meet tonight to select name to pre-
sent to Mr.. Block for nomination.

"FOUR States" says the New York
Sun, "may be said to have some claim
on Senator Davis as a presidential
possibility. He was born in New
York in Jefferson county, which has
given to this commonwealth it's most
recent Democratic governor, Roswell
Pettibone Flower; he was educated in
the state of Michigan, illustrious in
the lake region for institutions of
learning; he served in the civil war in
the Twenty-eighth Wisconsin infan-
try; and moving to Minnesota after
the war, he was elected a member of
the legislature in 1867, and some years
later was chosen governor. The Sun
seems to be taking a great deal of in
terest in the Senator's presidential
chances, more than it probably would
were he to be nominated.
