Death orIo,ya Hero

Rockwell City, Aug. lo.--News was
received yesterday of the death of Eu-
gene Hutchinson, of Lake City, Iowa,
a member of the Fifty-frst Iowa at
Manila. Nothing is known of the
cause of his death as no news had
been received of his sickness, but it is
supposed to have been of some malie,
nant fever. Mr.. Hutchinson was one
of the brightest young men of our
county and had a very promising fu-
ture. He was in attendance at the
State University of Iowa when he en-
listed and is son of Hon. S. L. Hutch
inson, of Lake City. His mother, Mrs.
Lizzie Hutchinson, is president of the
w. r. G. of the state. The whole com
munity joins the family in their be-
reavement. We believe this is the first
death of any Calhoun county boy in
the army.

License Fee Mt $500.

Joliet. ILL.,, Aug. lO.-The fight in the
courts over the saloon-licenss question
was settled yesterday in favor of May
or Mount, and the license will remain

rendered the decision.
Mayor Mount is determined now
that the ninety-three saloons shall pay
the Sl,009 each or he will close them
up.
Judge Dibell's decision holds that
an ordnance is necessary to fix the
amount of the license, that an old or
idinance passed in 1889 and fixing the
amount at $1,000 is still in effect, and
that the mayor acted properly in veto

THE TRIAL YESTERDAY.
Bernard Lazare Sums Up the Proceed
ings of the Court

tngs Of the Court.
Rennes, Aug. o.. Especial cable by
Bernard Lazare to the Chicago Record. }
Although, for want Of Knowledge,
one can enter into no details concern
ing the actual proceedings of the
court-martial today, it is known that
Gen. Chanoine continued his presenta-
tion of the secret military dossier. NJ.
Paleologue will begin tomorrow to eX-
plain the diplomatic dossier, but the
business will not end there. The docn-
ment withdrawn by the tribunal must
be reproduced and discussed publicly.
Inere is no escape from this. The pub
lie conscience will no longer suffer any
obscurity to remain.
1t must not suffice that Dreyfus and
his lawyers know all the charges. All
France, the whole civilized world, must
see clearly. The public at large is CO.
ing to examine critically this fantastic
dossier. 1t is composed of documents
having no reference to Dreyfus, but
which have been left there, neverthe-
less, in the hope of confusing the
minds of the judges bv the false docu-
ments and abominable lying.
These iniquities have been invented
to dishonor the foreign officers whom
Capt. Dreyfus is accused of having
aided. There lies the whole purpose
,hf these closed doors. The conspirators
hope thus far to cover up the shame
to which they have condemned Us.
These forgers of the general staff
alas. so powerful still-fear that this
people will at last be reused to vomit
them forth with utter contempt, out
their devices will not save them from
the purifying touch which will be car
ried into the most unhealthy, the most
hidden corners of this affair, no matter
who gets burned.
