Following to Clerk Knock. who.
by the order of the court, read it
aloud:
1--WE, the jury in the case Of the peo-
pie of the state of Illinois versus A. L.
Luetgert, tender to the presiding judge,
the Hon. Richard S. Tuthill and the
brilliant states attorney, Charles S.
Deneen, and his no less brilliant as
sistant, Mr.. w. NJ, Mcbwan, as well
as the attorneys for the defense, our
most heartfelt thanks for the very
kind treatment we have received at
their hands, and we do not hesitate to
state that were It not for the way
in which they have attended to our
personal comfort as wen 4s to our
sanitary condition. the hardship would
have been very great.
las to the trial. we wish to state
that while the evidence was such that
we were unable to agree upon YER
dict, one thing we did agree about, and
that is that the circumstances We're
such that the police had ample reason
to prosecute on the showing without
hearing the defense, and We commend
them for having done their duty in
this case.

WILL TRY AGAIN.
Eyes sir, we will try him again" said
states Attorney Deneen wien asked
as to the probability of Buetgert being
brought before the court a second time,
when we have got at It, however,
there is something ! could not tell you
now. We have had nine weeks of this
and l must have couple Of weeks Of
rest. After that we will look the
ground over and get our evidence to-
gether. The case stands now with us
as though there had never boon a trial.
The second trial has no bearing what
ever on the case just closed"
"Will you oppose n motion to admit
Luetgert to bail?" Mr.. Deneen was
asked.
"That is something cannot answer.
It is Immature and 1 have not consld-
cred IT."
An attempt will he made TO have the
prisoner admitted TO bail Such pro-
ccdure may be taken In Judge Tuthllrs
court on a motion by the prisoners
counsel to admit him To- bail, or by
habeas corpus proceedings in any
court Of record
At o'clock this afternoon counsel
for Luetgert gave States Attorney
Deneen notice that they would tomor-
row at 10 o'clock make formal appllca-
ton before Judge Tuthill for bail for
the prisoner. Judge Tuthill will he
asked to fix the amount Of bail at SIS.

pared to furnish bonds OF 100000 II

was not prepared to say whether or
not he would resist the application.

San Francisco. Oct. 21.-George W.
Orr of Toronto, Canada, president of
the Canadian Wheelmen's association
arrived in this city yesterday and held
a conference last night with the Off
cials of the California Associated Cy-
ling clubs. In the course of the con-
ference President Orr stated that he
was convinced from his own obserya-
ton that the California association was
practically in absolute control on this
coast and that at the next meeting
of the Canadian Wheelmen association
the California Associated Cyling clubs
would be recognized as the control
ling body on the Pacific coast. This
means that the international cyclings
union will recognize the California
body and the agreement between the
c. w. A. and the League of American
Wheelmen terminated.

We may not all have shared in the
the increased amount Of money in the
United States-and we possibly might
not If all the silver in the country were
being run through the mints fast as
possible-but it is a fact just the same
that on June 1, 1897, there was
sl3S, ,149612 more money in the United
States than there was on June 1, 1896,
or an increase of about 50 per capita.
The Sioux City Journal says that about
one-half of this increase is gold
brought into the country by importa-
tion or by the increased production of
our own mines. The increase of money
during the last year was vastly greater
than ever it was under either the act
of 1878 or the silver purchasing act of
1880. The trouble with the latter act,
however, was that gold went out of the
country faster than silver was added
to the money supply.

WRECKED THE Pop PARTY.
AS the Review has taken occasion a
number of times to state, it maintains
its honest convictions upon national
economics which it has for long years
been advocating, and believes in them
now more firmly than ever, but it re-
fuses absolutely to be part and parcel
of the gang of populists who last Win
ter at Pierre in their mad race for Of
fee and spoils forgot all about any
principles for which the reform party
contended. The selfish greed and am
bition of lot of individuals posing as
populists aud reformers wrecked the
party in this state and caused set
back to the reform movement from
which it will take a long time to re-
cover.-Grant County Review.

Home Market.

A condition of things exists which
we believe might be improved. Hard
times and drouth have compelled our
ranchers to draw heavily upon their
bunches of cattle for existence-draw-
ing upon principal instead of interest.
In addition to this, butter can hardly
find sale, cutting them off from what
they mainly depend on to exchange for
bread. At the same time an article is
shipped in that cannot compare with
the sweet yellow butter our ranchers
produce.
Another thing: Much money is sent
out of the country for merchandise by
private parties. We believe those par
ties are beginning to spend their
money at home at those places where
prices are reasonable. Hin some way
these inconsistencies were obliterated,
great good would result.

The law that permits the Indians to
round up cattle that may stray upon
the reservation, and hold them until
the owner shall pay 81 to the Indian,
for trespassing. is an outrage upon the
stockmen. The only way range cattle
can be kept from crossing the reserva-
tion line is by herding them-and who
is likely to do that in this free range
country? 1t would be impracticable
at best. AS it is, the Indians are
mighty glad to catch critter over the
line on their side, for they are all the
time laying for those dollar snaps-and
if one goes, there is usually quite a
bunch, making livery hard for ranchers.
The law should be changed if not
wholly repealed.

wANroN WASTE OF TIMBER.

One has only to take trip through
the Black Hills to be impressed with
the wanton waste of timber that is now
and has been going on for years. What
with the mining corporations that have
helped themselves to hundreds of
acres of timber in violation of the
United States laws, and the forest fires
thousands of acres of valuable forest
lands have beon utterly ruined. The
law strictly prohibits the saving of
timber except for home consumption
the cutting of trees over eight inches
in diameter and the burning of all un-
derbrush. None of these laws have
been observed. Unless stop is put
to the open violation of timber laws
the Hills will be stripped in a few years.

South Dakota is doing we'll and her

And the Flandreau Herald, another
pop organ that was called down be-
cause it was ridiculing the idea of an
improvement in times while in its own
columns it told of great progress in it's
own town and how extensive improve
ments were being made, now says that
it has reason to kick because every
other town isn't enjoying the same
prosperity that Flandreau is. One
