J. Albert Mcclure, who was arrest

Bowen, on the charge of appropriate

Life Insurance Co., was brought be-
fore Judge Shissler this forenoon. He
is a stoutly built man, with white
hair and beard, and not one who
would be considered guilty of the
crime with which he is charged, to
judge from appearances. He was
without an attorney, and after the
warrant had been read to him by the
court he entered plea of mot guilty."
and waived an examination. The bail
was placed at $500, but Mcclure stat
ed that he would not furnish the
bond, and was therefore committed
back to jail to await the action of the
grand jury in May.
A. G. Rosenow, charged with petit
larceny, was before the court yester'

presides, and which the senior editor
of that paper has so many times in
private denounced. To pursue such a
course is no less an insult to the mayor
than to his official family, as the
powers of the chief executive cause
those of the aldermen to sink into
insigniticance. So far as the vitupera-

fortunate for Mayor Weaver that he
is the son-in-law of an indulgent

SERVICES APPRECIATED.
Linder is Given An Agreeable
Surprise.

Last Friday evening Andrew Lin
der was invited to the home of Mrs.
S. G. Fransen, and when he arrived
there he found large assemblage of
friends of the Swedish Lutheran
congregation gathered together, COM
pletely filling the house. The gather
ing was in his honor, and another sur
prise awaited him. In a neat little
speech he was presented pair of gold
cuff buttons with pearl setting, an
opal scarf pin, and an oak rocking
chair with leather upholstery. All of
these articles are very pretty, and are
highly appreciated by Andrew, who
responded with feeling, closing by say
ing that he would be perfectly happy
if Rev. Mr.. Fransen were present. At
that moment complimentary letter
from that gentleman, from Hartford,
Conn.,, was handed to him, as well as
a poem written by A. O. Eberhart, the
first letter of each verse put together
forming Mr.. Linder's name. Songs
and refreshments followed, and the
affair was very pleasant one.
Mr.. Under has for years been an in
dustrious worker in the church, and
this affair was planned to show the
appreciation of the church members.
1t was nice compliment.

IT is a shameful exhibition of
journalistic depravity when a news
paper will stoop to call into question
the motives of men who are called up
on to exercise their official preroga-
tives in performing the functions of
their Office, and to charge boOdleism
against men who have always borne
regulations in this community for
probity and uprightness. 1t is equally
a shame and disgrace that a news
paper cannot dispassionately discuss
public questions without striving to
tear down and destroy regulations of
men who are, to say the least, shining
examples of integrity when compared
with the reputation of the man who
presides over the editorial columns of
the libelous sheet making the charge
Not content with misrepresenting the
electric light question in it's every
phase, the senior editor of the Revieao
takes advantage Of the absence of an
alderman to cover him with dirt,
maliciously draws the editor of the
FREE PRESS into a matter of which
he knows absolutely nothing, and de-
liberately and directly charges Alder
man Fowler with having sold himself
in favor of an electric light contract
on the assumption of having been
promised the city assessorship. Mr..
Fowler is competent to defend him.
self against the foul charge and he
will no doubt do so by demanding a
retraction. Alderman Fowler has re-
sided in this community for more
than quarter of a century and this
is the first time that his integrity,
either as public official or private
citizen has ever been called into ques-
tion, and then only by man who
ever stands ready to heap opprobrium
upon citizen whose views do not
happen to conform to his, and whose
independence of manhood directs his
acts in channel of honest expression
"a channel UNEMPLOYED by the editor
of the ReuieaD, and whose course lies

The Reuieac, in speaking of the or
ganization of the Liberal League, de-
tails of which were exclusively given
to the public through the columns of
the FREE PRESS, seems to approve of
the organization, and endorses it's dis
position to support the candidacy of
Mayor Weaver if that gentleman shall
conclude to be candidate for re-elec-
tion. This is but natural grounds for
our neighbor to take, but the forma-
tion OF any organization, which has
for it's object the more ."liberal' adj
ministration of city affairs already too
"liberally" run, is not calculated to
rebound any great advantage to
the average citizen nor to the city
at large. Without calling into ques-
tion the excellent regulations which
many of the gentlemen bear who have
allied themselves with the League,
any association which has for it's mis-
sion the pledging of candidates before
election on any matter, rObS the Of

dangerous impediment to the free ex-

hard to conceive of, and whether this
recently formed liberal league shall
have for it's object the good of the peo-
pie or the selfish control of patronage
and the perpetuation of a "wide
open" policy on the part of the incom-
ing administration is susceptible OF
conjecture, but the more general con-
struction placed upon it is that it will
not lend a hand to aid in the more
stringent execution of the laws. The

A MIDNIGHT. BLAZE.
Chas. Demogalla Losses His House
by Fire.

Chas Demogalla's house, burned last
night, but most of the contents were
saved. His wife got up to get drink
for a sick child at about half past
twelve o'clock, and found the kitchen
full of smoke. BY the time she had
told her husband, flames were burst
ing out, and it was seen that the
house could not be sayed's 1t is sup
posed that the fire started from de-
fective flue in the kitchen.
Officer Kelley awoke Chief Phillips
and still alarm was given. Hook
and Ladder Co. No. went to the fire,
and although it could not save the
building, the next house was kept
from burning. 1t caught fire severa
times, and had there been a strong
wind a row of residences must have
been destroyed.
The house was the third one north
of the hospital, and too far from the
waters mains to permit of the hose

IHE ReUaea1 objects to the present
council electing city assessor, though
it admits that past councils have given
it an ample precedent, and it init
mates that in case such an election
should take place, Alderman Fowler
will be elected. If there was any
question about this before we have no
doubt but that it has been greatly re-
duced since the malicious attack of
the Reuieau upon Mr.. Fowler. 1t is a
matter of open comment that the
assessment of this city for the past
few years has not been what it should
be. There ought to be change in
that office-new blood therein would
be most desirable thing, and the
FREE PRESS knows of no reason why
Mr.. Fowler would not fill it salts
factorily. Heretoforesthe Revieau'has
seen no objection in the old council
electing the assessor, and it is safe to
say that were that body so constituted
that it would reflect the present in
cumbent there would be no kick COM
ing now. 1t is only because such
would not be the case that our con-
temporary objects to the precedent of
it's own crowd being carried out, hence
it's low, brutal and malicious attack
upon Alderman Fowler. But this
ought to react upon it and promote
the very thing it bucks against. The
unanimous election of Mr.. Fowler for
assessor by the council would be fit
ting rebuke to the slanderous sheet
down the street.
