THE TROUBLE JUST BEGUN

Over the Schmidt Gambling Case az iel-
lRire-stnSAtionRi Proceedings
The troubles over the gambling case
at Iellalro seem to have scarcely got
well started Emil Schmidt was chnrs-
cd by Il. G, McGaughcy with permit
TING gambling in his place OF busInoss'
The charge wus,mndn under the stat
uto, When Schmidt appeared the *
PLANTATION was made 20 him that the
limit OF fine provided under tho statute
was 500 and n jail sentence might nc
company that, while under tho Ordl-
nance the maximum llnG, was $40
Schmidt said he would plead guilty
Under the ordinance, and the mayor
proceeded to change the affidavit so
that he would have jurisdiction.
When II was changed Schmidt plead
ed guilty and the mayor fined him $40
aud costs, He refused to pay II and
the mayor ordered him locked up, sat
urday morning his attorney applied
70 the probate court for writ OF hn-
beRs corpus. Tho body OF Schmidt,
along with the affidavit to show why
no wna held, was taken before the court,
The affidavit did not allege that the Of
tonse charged had been committed In
liellRlNi, and the probate court had no
alternative hut to dismiss Schmidt.
llO Wns dismissed and returned TO
this city. Then to settle the matter ho
was taken before Squire Mason on q
charge under the statute and was
bound over to court.
To add to the confusion and the feel
lng stirred up by these cases, late SAT-
urdRy McGaughey was about schmidt's
place and had boon drinking and the
two came together, resulting In Me-
Gaughey having n badly dlscolored

WANT THEM TO RESIGN.
Prominent Business Man Talks About the
Situation.

In a communication TO the Eagle yes
terday gentleman who has been in
business in this town for twenty-three
years says:
I'm view Of the fact that ii is plainly
against the wishes of the majority of
the business men and taxpayers OF this
city and surrounding country to try
70 enforce he prohibitory law. I want
to suggest that a petition be circulated
among the taxpayers asking the board
of police commissioners and assistant
attorney general to resign their offices,
and leave the government Of our city
in the hands of the officers elected and
appointed by themselves, or if they VIII
not resign, then turn their attention TO
the enforcement Of some other laws
that are constantly violated, among
which 1 now think of, the game law,
the fish law, the usury law and the
law against fast driving on our most
public streets. The enforcement of
these laws m ust meet with a Univer-
sal approval, except from the small
majority who violate them.
The present attempt TO enforce the
prohibitory law is plainly against the
wishes of the majority of taxpayers. as
is shown by the recent attempt to find
jury to try the case against the Citi-
zens' club.
It is increasing our taxes, decreasing
our population, dividing our churches,
making discord among friends and in
families, and all for what? Doing any
good?
The spectacle of a city cutting down
Its fire department, curtailing ex-
penses in street cleaning and repairs,
and all other ways that are legitimate,
and then spending thousands of dollars
TO keep some one from selling a glass
of beer, is a burlesque on good man
agement.
| am told that it has cost the county
$1,000 already to prosecute one old
Garman named Schroeder, and that he
is not yet convicted. but is now con-
structively in Jail. He has his liberty
upon the streets. but goes to the jail
10 eat and sleep at the expense of the
county.
Such nonsense ought to disgust every
good minded citizen.

TO STOP 1T THIS TINE.
Deputies Posted TO Guard the Big Douglas
Avenue Bridge.

There is likely 10 be some fun down
at the Douglas avenue bridge over the
Big Arkansas river this morning. Some
time ago the county commissioners
went down and looked the bridge over
and found that il was being ruined by
fast driving. Long ago a sign was
erected in the center Of this bridge tell
ing people politely that they would be
fined FIVE dollars If they drove over il
at a gait faster than walk. People
have long disregarded this notice.
When the commissioners res olved some
TWO weeks ago that the bridge must
either tumble down or fast driving ov-
er il cease, they issued an eGict that
citizens must quit using 1T for 4 race
track. Several people stopped running
across il but great majority, IL seems
went right along disregdrding the or
ders of the county commissioners as
they had diSregarded the big sign be-
fore.
Now the county commissioners have
resolved 10 put the clamps down a lit
tie. They are not looking for trouble
and want none, but they are convinced
that the only way 10 save the bridge
from becoming a total wreck is to take
strict measures 10 protect X, and this
morning there will be stationed at the
bridge deputies who will rake in the
first individual who runs his horse pell
nell across the structure
These deputies have their orders and
the man who violates the law VIII see
where he made a mistake in not obey
ing the first orders of the commission
erS.
The bridge is animportant one TO the
city; il is expensive 20 keep in repair,
and expensive TO build and all taX-pay-
ers are with the commissioners in their
efforts to preserve il from reckless and
fast driving
