HORSES ON SOMEBODY.



Result Of Lsssss M,ssaks Attending .
"Trip Co Port Byron.
Wednesday evening . Twentieth
street business man drove to Port
Byron to attend q lodge social, en-
gaging livery rig. and returning
home with what he supposed was the
same conveyance after the festivities
we're over. Arriving at the stable
from which he secured the team,
he was amazed to find that
he had driven back . different team
from the one which took him up
and investigation further developed
the fact that he had brought q Cor.
dova team down instead of the one
OF which he had been temporary GUS
todian. Yesterday. however, the
owner of the horses which had made
down with the livery horses and se-
cured his own-but the most ludic-
rous feature of the incident then de-
veloped when the owners of the
livery barn sought board for the
Cordova team. which had been tenn
porarily, through the error of the
patron Of the firm, kept in the sta
BILE.
The matter, nevertheless, was settled
to the mutual satisfaction of all con-
cerned and the Rock Island business
man acknowledged that the horses
were On him. while at the same time
congratulating himself that he had
escaped SO easily.

CHIEF ON THE CHANGES.

Etzel Says the Police Department ehak-
Ing up wan he Beneficial.
Chief Etzel says it does an officer
good to change him around occa-
sionally.
The shaking-up which has been go
iug on in the police department OF
late has set the people to thinking
probably there was going to be an
awakening among the blue coats.
But it is safe to gamble that such an
impression was gained from q false
alarm. There has been considerable
bad feeling among certain members
of tie department for some time.
So remedy is sought in changing
some of the boys around and giving
these who have .'drag" the best OF
it.
Il feel that things will be more
satisfactory all around" says the
chief, latter these changes. OF
course there are some of the men
changed who were doing we'll enough
where they were. but they had to be
shifted in order to accomplish what

Mckinley is to be pitied. But il
he was aware of how his name was
being used by people with poetical
aspirations in Rock Island he would
hardly be capable of transacting the
affairs of a nation-even il he had o
chance to do SO.
In several different neighborhoods
it is no uncommon thing to hear

has arrived in an attempt to arrange
an air to some campaign poetry

the quotation board.
Representative of the several COM
pauies doing business in Rock Island
finally succeeded in arriving at an
agreement yesterday afternoon
which restores the price of beer to
where it was previous to the cut in
agurated about five months ago.
The companies have endeavored to
reach settlement ON several occa-
sioas, but every time they would
get together it seems matters would
only become more complicated. But
they kept agitating the matter and
the past few days brought about q
favorable condition Of affairs which
has resulted in the death of the war.
Those present at the meeting yester-
day afternoon held in Otto Huber's
private Office on Third avenue were:
Otto Huber and Robert Wagner. of
the Rock Island Brewing company ;
Ferdinand Holdorf, of the Henning
Brewing company. and s. Pells. Of
the Chicago Brewing company.
Rate ~ Now Fixed.
These three companies will sell
beer henceforth at $6 per barrel,
while the Milwaukee product will
bring a half dollar more. During
the war the Chicago and Henning
companies sold their beer ut Is per
barrel while the Rock Island COM
pany held its quotations q dollar
higher.
1t is claimed that the cut has
proven a dear experience to all of
the companies.

A FINE aggregation this-popu-
lists, gold bugs, Rathdrum Ring,
Democrats-for Office. This is the
fusion that has undertaken to down
the Silver Republicans and Silver
Democrats in Kootenai county.
Bob Mcfarland, candidate for at
torney general, gave the whole snap
away in his speech Thursday night.
He made savage attack on the
Silver Republicans but had not a
word to say against the gold bug
republicans. Why? Because the
Rathdrum ring gold bugs are the
allies of the demo-pops.

port no man who is fighting the

The men and organizations that are
fighting Senator Dubois, against
the advice and wish of their nation
al organizations, are not true
silver men, but are pie eaters and
strictly out for the coon. We want
none of them
There is not candidate for an
Office in Kootenai county, except
the nominees of the Silver Republi-
can ticket, and the Electors Demo
cratic ticket, but is pledged to work
against the reelection of Senator Du-
bois. The object Of the Mckinley
ticket in Kootenai county is to de-
feat Dubois (and get place at the
pie counter on the remote possibility
of McKinley's election). The Peo-
pies Democratic ticket is pledged
to support populist for United
States Senator, as against Mr. Du-
bois. Unless the voters want to
give aid and comfort to Mr.. Dubois
enemies, they will vote against the
Peoples Democratic ticket as en-
phatically as they will vote against
the gold bug ticket put up by Ryan,
Barnes and other pie eaters.
The HERALD thought at one time
that the Silver Republicans were
not loyal enough to Mr.. Dubois.
We are satisfied now, however, that
it was only a difference of opinion
as to the best policy to pursue. The
Silver Republicans have done all
that could be done. They have
forced the traitor Crane off the tick
ct and put loyal Dubois man in
his place. The Democrats-the
ring-nsver intended to fuse with
the Silver Republicans, and the
latter did right in refusing to fur
Their consider the ring democrats.
1t is now apparent that there is a
secret understanding between the
Rathdrum Ring gold bugs, the ring
democrats and the populists. II
should be the object of every voter
to try to defeat such al
unholy alliance. 1t devolves upor
the Silver Republicans and the Sill
yer Democrats to bury such a rot
ten aggregation too deep for res
surrection.

SOME are wondering what the
Rathdrum Ring gets out of the
spoils if they succeed in electing
the demo-pop ticket i'll this county
aside from striking a blow at the
Silver Champion, Senator Dubois.
1t is rumored that one reward the
demo-pops will bestow upon their
allies, the Rathdrum Ring gold
bugs, will be to have the next grand
jury make a whitewashing report
and prevent an investigation of the
records.

The Ticket for the People.

All the candidates and tickets
are now on file and before the
public. 1t makes no difference now
what mistakes or plumbers may
have been made-the only thing
left for the voter to do is to make
the best of the situation as it is
presented.
The course for the KoorENAI
HERALD to pursue in this campaign
is very plain. In fact there is but
one course for it to pursue, holding
the political views it does. The
HERALD is for Silver, and, therefore,
it advocates the election of such
men as will best advance che cause.
We shall not argue the Silver ques-
ton, because it is a one sided ques-
ton in Idaho. There is no argue
ment in favor of Mckinley and the
gold standard worthy of considera-
ton so far as it effects the whole
people of this state. The people
should vote as the great majority
will vote-for Bryan.
The great issue at stake in Idaho
is the senatorial question. The one
thing the people of this state can
do to advance the cause of silver is
to reflect Fred T. Dubois. 1t is to
the shame OF Idaho that Senator
Dubois will have to make a fight
for reelection. His rejecting
should have been the unanimous
acclaim of the people. Were it not
for the stand taken by Dubois anC
few others, Silver would not have
been made the paramount issue il
this campaign, and this great boor
to the state, free coinage, would have
had no show of success. The great
est good that the voter can do fo
the cause of Silver is to go to the bal
lot box and cast a vote for mem
Der of the legislature who will Their
vote to reflect Senator Dubois. Z,
this end we advocate the election o
Simon P. Donnelly to the state sen
ate and George R. Gray, James A
Keat and Nathan 8. Sisson for rep
resentatives ii the legislature
These men are pledged to vote 70
the reelection of Senator Dubois
first, last and all the time. Besides
they are true blue and can be strust
ed. They are all Representative
citizens and will make able, trusr
worthy representatives.
As to state and county officer
the HERALD advocates the electio
of the men whose names appear o
the Silver Republican and tn
Electors Democratic tickets, tn
two tickets being identical in the
personnel. The HERALD can SUI
