Claims He Was Given Knockout Drops

A trial of sufficient magnitude to
draw crowd that more than filled the
Sherif's Office was heard before Justice
Stormont on Monday, with Atty. Mullen
for the defendant and Atty. S. B. Harms
pleaing for the plaintiff in the larceny case
Of T. F. Cullins VS. John Urbenchia, both

defendant had administered stupefying
drug with intent to feloniously steal the
money he had about his person which
was to the amount of $45 and among the
missing. The half dozen witnesses in the
case were thoroughly German and when
the attorneys began their interrogation,i in
each case they were stupefied with a
mixture Of German and English, and it
was only through the assistance of Judge
Kraus as interpreter that the case was
tried. The Justice after hearing the
testimony discharged the prisoner on the
strength Of the evidence that claimed the
prosecutor had drugged himself with

ascertaining where his money had got to.

named for aldermen every one of the
gang that had brought upon that
branch the indignation of the public
ests and their sacrifice Of those of the
people. And they crowned their fool
hardness by renominating Horst FOR
treasurer. the unfaithful steward or
the public funds.
And now what is that the Republl-
can machine Is asking the voter to
approve? The deposit Of money In a
rotten bank by this treasurer. His
entrusting of $4,000 In violation of law
to the rapacious NAV of the Bickel
bank. Why? To keep that institution
afioat in order that more of the saw
ings of sewing girls and working men
might be enticed into it to pay the
travelling expenses of one Of it's direc-
tors fleeing to Honolulu. To enable
loans to be made to Tanner" and
Hazel Bickel. To provide a fund for
the defense Of the rascally cashier
when called TO the bar of justice. and
to aid in thwarting her. And, when
Horst and his bondsmen are called to
account and asked to make good the
loss, he puts in dilatory pleas and en-
deavors to escape liability for his mis-
conduct on technicalities. 1t passed
credibility that any convention Of any
party would dare to ask the electorate
to vindicate such conduct. The Re-
publican convention did 1t, and insults
every conception of official integrity,
and makes of every Office a private
snap instead Of a public trust. The
insolence of it is incredible.

The Track Is Too Fresh.

When the Republicans Of the FIFTY
fourth congress were trying to put
Cleveland in a hole by passing resolu-
tions recognizing the belligerency or
the Cuban rebels, our Col kiefer,
then a member of the house, warmly
espoused the rebel cause. In addition
to making a five-minute speech In the
house he utilized the press facilities of
the person who acted as private sec
rotary for himself and Representative
Fletcher-under, 1t was understood,
terms that were mutually advantageous
to both the representatives-to COM
municate to his constituents that sur
plus belligerency which could not be
blown off in the five short minutes ac-
corded him in the house. Readers of
the local paper which enjoyed the serv--
ices Of the private secretary as us
Washington correspondent Will recall
the fervid declarations of the colonel
1--WE regret that accuracy obliges us TO
put that title in quotationS), which he
gave to his private secretary and WASH
ington correspondent to be duly trans
mitted to the latter's paper.
In the safe distance that interviewed
the colonel waxed valiant and belli-
gerent. He invited war. He painted for
a chance to help drive the odiOus
Latins from the soil of the Western
hemisphere. He even went the length
of declaring that, should the Spaniard
refuse to quit, he would resign his seat
in congress, go home and raise regi-
ment to help in the ousting. All Of
which the secretary correspondent duly
sent, and which his paper duly spread
before the admiring eyes of the "col-
oneps" constituents.
A couple of years have flown. Events
have crowded each other in logical Sc
Guence until the eliminating event is
here whose coming the colonel her
aided. War has come. All around us
there is not preparation. Men are ten
dering their services to their governors.
The national guard is rapidly filling
up. Our boys, full of that glorious en-
thusiasm that makes youth beautiful,
are making tender of their lives. They
are going to drive Spain from this

colonel said he would do if war
came; they are resigning, not a con-
gressional office, but, what is dearer.
the very seed time of their lives. They
are not raising regiments" they are
going into them.
And the "colonel?" Where is he?
Hunting. But not the Spaniard. He is
campaigning, but not in Cuba. He is
hunting an office and campaigning in
the security of st. Paul, 5000 miles be-
yond the reach of any Spaniard. His
courage Of 1896 has, like Bob Acres
courage, oozed out of his finger tips.
He reminds us Of Fred Horn. Fred was
a brigadier general of the Wisconsin
state militia before the Civil war. AS
valiant before the war as was our own
colonel" was Fred. But when war
came Fred resigned. 1t was said that
Freds resignation recalled the amateur
hunter who found bears track in the
fresh snow and followed it. At night
he returned to camp without the bear.
Asked why he did not keep up the hunt,
he replied: 1.-THE fact is those tracks
got too dashed fresh Are the tracks
that lead towards Cuba and the Span
ish bear too dashedly fresh for our

The Incredible Inso,ence

Before the Republican city conven-
ton met, no one supposed for a mo-
ment that it would have the audacity
to renominate Horst for city treasurer
They put him on the retired list with
Representative Stevens. No public Of
fetal who had tarred his fingers with
the pitch of the Minnesota Savings
bank by either sinking public money
in it or borrowing of it would have
the hardwood to present himself to
the voters for approval
But that would have been to expect
of the Republican city convention a.
decent respect for public opinion
What expectations were based on that
supposition were cyclored. It named
a man for mayor whom the voters had
once, for ample cause, rejected. It

An "oEd Boys" Word TO the Boys.

A good deal Of absurd counsel is now
being rendered to the boys who are en-
listing, together with some that is good.
Thirty-seven years ago other boys en-
listed just as enthusiastically and
thcughtlessly as do some Of their boys
now, and there was no one to give them
word of counsel. Had there been,
many of them who are lying under the
sod in Dixie, victims of disease, might
now be telling grandchildren their
stories Of the war. A few words Of
advice from one who campaigned where
climatic conditions are about the same
as those where, in all probability most
Of the volunteers Of this generation will
serve may help some of them to pre-
serve health, thing more difficult to
do than to dodge bullets.
The climatic conditions are entirely
different from those you have been ac-
customed to, and you will have to I'M
dergo acclimatization. This will be the
more difficult because of your transfer
at the close of winter here to the open
ing of summer there. 1t increases
greatly your susceptibility to local dis
ease. You may consider yourselves eX-
tremely fortunate if you escape sick
ness; the chances are all against you.
You can minify them by prudence. The
three conditions requiring caution are
eating, drinking and exposure Army
rations may be better now than then,
but they will not be what you are ac-
customed to. Take them and eat mod
erately. Leave the sutler and his
knicknacks alone. The rations are
healthful; the others aren't Eat ripe
fruit plenteously mornings; leave it
alone evenings. A local proverb ac-
counts it as gold in the morning, silver
at noon and lead at night. Don't drink
and drink that. Have your mess cook
out early and give you cup Of hot
coffee as soon as you turn out: the
earlier the better. Fill your canteen
with it and not with whisky. Use the
latter incidentally. Keep some quinine
pills handy. Keep out of the sun as
much as possible and out of the night
air; your head cool and your feet dry.
Keep a flannel bandage in two or three
thicknesses about your bowels. Don't
dose yourselves with medicine: don't
imagine that you are going to have
the yellow fever; don't watch for symp-
toms; use common sense. Be cheerful:
try to get ell the wholesome, sensible
fun you can out of every situation;
don't none; be as nearly your home
selves as you can be under the circum-
stances. Then you will stand a right
| smart chance of coming home on your
legs instead Of in a box; considerably
more than an even chance Remember
that the chances are ten that you will
| be killed by disease to one that a.
bullet will end you.
