GENERAL Manager Whitman of the G.
x \. W, Land Commissioner SimOnds
Special Agent Thayer and Supt. BIdwell
were in the city on Tuesday. An in.
formal meeting Of the city council was
held to hear what these gentlemen had
to say with reference to the franchise
asked over Quay and Franklin streets.
Manager Whitman spoke at some length
but gave the impression that he company
would accept nothing but an unqualified
right of way over the streets named. he
said chat if the business would warrant
il the belt line would be built, but that
the company could make no promises.
Mr.. SimOnds spoke in practically the
same terms. The company is deslrous
of beginning work at once and is anxious
to have the matter settled one way or the
other.
The difference between the city and
the railway company on this matter Is
irreconcilable. The feeling yesterday was
stronger in opposition than at any time
previous and it is pretty safe to predict
that no terms will be made. The COM
pany could secure franchise limited IN
time, and not short time either, and it
should be accepted.

THE School Social TO be held Friday
night at the Opera House promises to be
very generally attended. The object.
which is the purchase of piano for the
high school room, is worthy, and should
meet with generous response from
patrons and friends of the school. The
presence Of a piano for some time past in
the school, has already created a good
deal OF enthusiasm among pupils. Supper

THERE has beenta great deal of mis-
understanding and wllIful mlsrepresenta-
ton with reference to the Shove case
during the three years or more It has
been IN progress. The man who suffered
most from misrepresentation and critic
ism, which might charitably be termed
needless. Is the man who pushed the ease
with pertInaclty and yIgor to a final con-
ClusIOn. and that is 4. j. SchmltZ. Dullng
the whole time he was being criticised
and abused by those seemingly an ions
for q conviction. he was at work TO bring
about this very thing aud under ciTcum-
stances which would excuse him If he
threw up the whole Job. When he ceased
10 be district attorney, the work was
taken up by District Attorney Chloupek
who employed ScbmltZ TO help IN the
prosecution. On every hand they were
criticised by those who wanted Il con-
ylctiOn but were inclined to throw every
obstacle in the way of the lawyers who
were conducting the case with all the
ability OF which they were capable.
The Pilot was opposed to beginning
the trial Of Shove, for the reason 1t felt
satisfied he had not profted by the
failure of the bank and was ruined man
financially. While those who lost money
had reason to feel reseptfuI. 1t felt sure
that he had such an abiding confidence
II his own ability TO manage things sue
cessfnlly that he could not think him
self insOlvent though lie was so. He bad
no confidant and trusted implicitly II bis
own Judgment which he thodght was
Infalhble. To urge a disContnUance OF
the case was 10 invite and deserve critic
SIN. What ever OF this The Pilot received
it finds no fault with. When the case was
begun II wanted fair and thorough
trial. 1t had no reservations, practiced
no hypocrisy, asks for 40 apologies and
offers none.
But it wants to do justice to the
lawyers who acted for the state and TO
call the attention of those who shoWeTed .
so freely TO the outcome by /
way of showing the injustice OF their !.
comments. The amount of work which /
District Attorney Chloupek and \. j. /
Schmitz put into this case will never be /
fully realized nor appreciated. During /
all this time many Of the people for whom .
they were working were busy with hostile .
comment.
Would not this be favorable time for .
people TO resolve they will cease TO be /
unjust and that they Will not believe /
evil Of q man until satisfied he is At fault? /
There is more honesty in this world than .
people think there is, though the mini
mum amount will be found in the man
who thinks all others are dishonest. \
little reflection IS not a bad thing Oc
,aslonally, and a little inventory of our
)wn moral furnishing Is often a handy
hing to examine when we are in the
lumor of thinking every other person is
)ad.

HE jury brought IN verdict OF guilty
IN the L. G. Shove case on Friday after
noon, after having been out twenty seven
hours. The convicted man who had been
seemingly hopeful during the entire trial
collapsed when the verdict was an
nounced. HIS daughter tired to soOthe
him but without effect. 1t was a most
affecting scene to all who witnessed it.
Attorney Goldberg at once moved for
an arrest of judgment pending motion
for a new trial Or an appeal. The Judge
will hear arguments on these questions
on the 9th. The points of law to be de-
cIded by the supreme court are the rulings
OF Judge Burnell on the questions whetl-
er time certificate of deposit bearing
interest IS a deposit or a loan, and
whether The court erred in ruling ont the
books OF Jacob Fliegler which were
sought to be introduced to showFliegler's
financial standing. These matters will
be heard on the oath instant. The ques
tons without doubt will be certified 10
the supreme court.
The trial lasted three weeks lacking
one day. There was no time lost from
start TO finish and work was prosecuted
throughout with vigor. On the first
ballot the jury stood to 3 for conviction
! On Friday forenoon they asked for
| further instructions from the Judge.
After receiving them they reached a
verdict ID a comparatively short time.
The conviction took place Just four
| years after the failure OF The bank. lacking
one day, Tie case has been fought
desperately by both sides and deserves
to be ranked among the celebrated trials
| of the state. District Attorney Chloupek
! and A. J. Schmitz were the recipients of
many congratulations 90 their arrival
! homo on Saturday.

HENRY HIHRICHs had his old horse,
Moose" or "Hoose", shot on Monday
last. No one ever knew what the real
name of the horse was and Henry was SO
much in doubt himself that certainty was
never established. He was as remarkable
in equine peculiaritles as Henry is in
horsemanship, and the par always at
tracted, if not enthusiastic, then inter
ested observation. Moose never quit the
dignity of slow and solemn procedure
except on periodical occasions and this
was always mentioned by his owner in
vociferOus recital as evidence of the
horses intelligence. 1t is tribute TO
Henry's penetration that he is the only
person who discovered the horse had any
intelligence.
The animal must have had a great
many qualities which be revealed to
his master in secret. His gait must
have been the origin of the two
step as 1t came nearer that popular move
ment than anything else within the realm
of description. He had habit of de-
scriblng the arc Of a circle using his eek
as the radius and at such times people
in his immediate neighbOrhOOd were
gathered IN. Moose never showed con-
triton or feeling Of any kind except in
one leg on which he limped so as to add
pleasing variety to his fantastic gait. He
was utterly devoid of ambition aud was
always needless to the nnremittIng flow
of conversation addressed to him by his
driver. He was a horse brlmful Of mega
ton and bid defiance to progress.
