coWIEs CASE CONTINUED.
It Has Been Postponed indefinitely.

The case of Bernard Hueffer against
Inspector Cowie alleged Kidnapping
which was to have been heard before
Justice Richardson at the Armory
Police Courts in Chicago Tuesday, Oct.
2lst, has been postponed indefinitely.
District Attorney Buckmaster went to
Chicago Saturday and in q conference
with Judge Wing, who has been re-
tanned to defend Cowie, it was decided
to ask for a continuance. The contin-
uance was readily granted by the
Judge but no specified time set for the
trial Attorney Buckmaster is conf
dant that CoWie will never be convict
ed on the charge and furthermore be-
lieves that the case will not be pushed
with any intent to convict but simply
to make Cowie's record appear as
black as possible. The following is
what the Fire Underwriters of Illinois
say in commentator Of CoWie's past
and present record:
Insurance men do not hesitate to
condemn in unequiVocal terms the
action of superintendent Durfee III
scattering broadcast Slanderous letters
rejecting on f. g. Cowie, the we'll
| known detective. Mr.. CoWie has done
more than any other man in Chicago
in running down incendiaries. He has
never convicted a man except on the
self-confession of the accused. In his
work he has necessarily made enemies,
but he has been fearless and uncom-
promising in his efforts to bring fire
bugs to justice. He is regarded by the
| fire underwriters us keen, safe, sensi-
! bic detective. and superintendent
| Durfee will receive scores of letters in
lreply to his communication telling him
of the kindly feeling among insurance
men for this same Mr.. CoWie whom he
| is endeaVoring to persecute at the in
stigation of petty rivals.
Mr.. COWie was the prime mover in
securing the evidence to convict all
but one of the defendants in the Keno
sha arson trial recently held This
one was Louis jacobson, who was
acquitted much to the disgust Of those
who desire to seeincendiarism checked.
Jacobson's attorney, prominent
in Chicago, anticipated that Mr. Cowie
would have jacobson arrested on other
charges of arson and to checkmate MIN
he used the despicable means ofhaving
Cowie arrested for kidnapping aud other
trumped-up charges. Furthermore
this attorney went to Springfield and
influenced Governor Altgeld against
Mr.. Cowie by accusing him Of every
sin in the catalogue of crime. He per
suaded the Governor not to grant q
requisition in the future for the remov-
al of jacobson to another state to be
tried 1t is understood that Governor
Altgeld, who recently pardoned eight
frebugs of the worst type that applied
the torch at Washington Heights,
went to the office Of Superintendent of
Insurance Durfee and demanded him
to mail these letters detrimental to Mr..
Cowie which he himself indited.
All this has been done at the instance
of an attorney who desires to shield a
client from being tried for arson. City
Fire Inspector Conway's skirts are not
lclear by any means in this action
against Mr.. Cowie. Mr.. Cowie has
friends in insurance circles all through
the west who will defend him.

Obituary.

| Died--At her home in this city on
October II, 1895, Miss Jennie MeClel-
Ian, daughter of the late Samuel Nc
Clellan, M. D., ut the age of . years.
She graduated at the High School in
1891 and has taught successfully in the
public schools for nearly three years.
The announcement of the death OF
this lovely and beloved young lady, a
few days since, was a painful surprise
to many of her friends. 1t seemed
that she had been engaged so recently
III her usual duties in the school; it
was SO little suspected that the slight
cough and general debility of which
she complained were the symptoms OF
the fell disease which was to destroy her
life, that it was not generally realized,
that it could have made such advance,
as to endanger the prospect OF her re-
covery, in the short period of the sum-
mer vacation. Yetin that brief inter-
val the discovery had been made that
her disease must be fatal and from that
time she dropped and faded away day
by day like some lovely flower whose
stem had been bruised and broken
Silently and almost unknown to many
she has passed from us.
Yet brief as her life has been she
had learned some of it's richest lessons.
She had learned to live a life of love
and hopeful service to others. She
chad done what she could She had
found and accepted long before that
faith and trust which Was to be her
support in her later hours. When told
that she could not recover, she sWeetly
said !" she had struggled for life, but if
it were ordered otherwise she was
ready to go" After that she spoke of
her going, as of pleasant journey to
some beautiful land where she should
meet dear friends and be at home with
them in the many mansions" Of the
Lord. Firmly, hopefully trusting thus
she las passed into 1.-The life that
knows no ending, bat lasteth ever
more" She has left to us a bright eX
ample, which we should fondly cherish
of noble effort tor good while life was
given her, and OF sweet resignation
when called by the Master to lay it
down

NOVELTY COMPANY ASSIGNS.
An Attachment Suit Precipitates the AS

An Attachment Suit Precipitates the AS
signment of The Kenosha Novelty Co.
At a meeting Of the stockholders of
the Kenosha Novelty company, held
Tuesday evening, the stockholders
voted to make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors. The action was
precipitated on account Of the filing OF
a chattel mortgage flor $4,000 held by
w. T. Fisher, for money loaned the
company, thus causing Aliens Sons to
become alarmed for the safety of a
claim of about $500. E. C. Theirs as
attorney for the Aliens issued an at
tachment on the merchandise in the
retail store of the Novelty company for
the amount of the Allen claim and in
cluded a claim for about $400 due
Madame Theirs. Making about 5000
in all included in the attachment. In
order to protect the creditors Of the
company against this and other suits
which were about to be instituted, the
stockholders deemed il advisable to
make an assignment as noted above.
Harry B. Robinson has been chosen
assignee, and will take possession of
the affairs of the company at once. If
properly handled the assets should ex-
coed the liabilities by considerable.
The assets of the company conserva-
lively estimated amount to about
$4,000 and the liabilities at 1924, 900.
It is too early yet to state just what
course the assignee will pursue, but it
is to be hoped that by some means the
factory may be kept active.
