There are people who have objection
to advertising matter in the reading
columns ola newspaper. The ground of
objection is that they don't want to read

is not good, for often times advertise.

travelling public learn of the excellent
dining car service of the Wisconsin

INDICTED.
Chicago Assessor and His Clerk IN
TcOuhle. lssal

Trouble.
Chicago, Dec. 4.-Friday afternoon
the grand jury voted to indict Assessor
Richard G. Cunning and Clerk Benz
jamin Barnett, of the south town.
Three "true bills" were voted against
Cunning. The charges against him are
malfeasance in Office, conspiracy and
soliciting bride. Two indictments
were voted against Clerk Barnett. He
is charged with malfeasance in office
and conspiracy. The indictment charg-
ing the two officials with malfeasance
in office is based upon the refusal Of
Cunning and Barnett to listen to pro-
tests Of taxpayers while sitting as q
board of review. The alleged concerted
action of Assessor Cunning and Clerk
Barnett in opposing the board Of re-
view and their refusal to produce GER
tain books and documents constitute
the grounds for the conspiracy charge.
On what evidence the charge Of solicit.
ing bride is based is not made entire
ly clear. It was reported, however, that
a bride of $3.50 was solicited from
Charles c. Blonden, secretary of COM
pany which owns large downtown
building. Another story was that the
evidence upon which the indictment
was voted came from members Of the
firm of Lyon & Healy, large music

The case of Mary Woodward,
brought in the Winneshiek district
court, applying for guardianship for
her brother, E. c. Manning. came on
for trial Monday afternoon occupying
the attention OF the court and jury
until Wednesday noon, resulting in
favor of Edward c. Manning. The
only foundation for the suit was the
need of the plaintiff to provide for
her own support by depriving her
brother OF the use and control Of his
4 property, and to the extent that il
would put him in leading strings, of
his liberty. 1t was, in other words,
clear attempt to levy tribute to the
extent of controlling his person and
his property, and reflects no credit
on the plaintiff OR her attorneys. The
only costs in the case that will ever
| be paid are those of the defendant fol
his witnesses AID for his attorneys.
