ing ana re-elected MIS-. "a. y. Alvin ana
Henry N. Somsen as directors, their term
having expired. The report Of Secretary
Ackerman showed s78 volumes ii the
library and eleven daily and weekly
newspapers on file, beides several maga:
zines and 81 pamphlets Of Juvenile liter
ature. During the past eight months
there have been issued 252 membership
cards and "a total of 3,167 books have
been taken by patrons. The treasurer's
report showed4a deficit of 50. "A COM
mittee of five will be appointed by the
chairman to secure financial aid for the
library from the city council. .t5.s. !,
Among the many false pretenses on
which Mr.. McKinley's campaign for re-
election is being conducted none is more
disreputable or more positively insulting
to that half of the American people
which will not vote for him than the pre-
tense that to oppose Mr.. Mckinley now
is to give "aid and comfort to the enc
my''-the Filipinos. It is getting quite
near to the lowest depths of partisan
passion when, for the sake Of passing
party advantage, the triumph Of a year,
statesmen of leading rank and newspa-
pers of wide influence are willing to
place their country before the world in
the degrading light of having one in ev-
cry two of its citizens for it's enemy
Baltimore Sun. ." '., g
One of the most pleasing features of
the regular meeting of the Columbia
Bowling Club last week was the presen-
tation of a large silver loving cup, to
Col. Bobleter by the Teutonia Bowl
ing Club of Minneapolis. The presen-
tation speech was made by Harry S.
Kennedy Of Minneapolis and was re-
sponded to by Col. Bobleter in one of
those happy little speeches for which he
is noted. The score of the club at this
meeting was as follows: Henry.Behnke,
148; Jos. Bobleter, 1876; Otto Baarscb,
148; A. j. Meyer, 144; Benz. stockman,
1870; John Toberer,1 1888; Geo. Hauen-
stem, 1870; W. g. Alvin, ITO; I. Bueng-
er, 100; VIM. Haubrich, 1873; Adam Pc
ters, 1875; A.*J. Vogel, 173.
Mike Welter, 80 years of age, was ar
rested at Springfield Saturday charged
with the infamous crime of assault upon
the person of Emma Essig, a nine year
old child whose parents reside in that
vicinity. Before Justice c. S. Peterson
he was bound over to await the action
Of the grand jury at the January term
of the district court. For time the
feeling ran very high in Springfield and
it was at one time thought that it would
be impossible to prevent the lynching
of their prisoner and threats were freely
made that he should never oe taken
from the village, but better counsel
fortunately prevailed and when turned
over to the custody of the sheriff for re-
moval to the county Jail here there was
no special demonstration. r,.5 %
The county committee Of the Demo-
cratic and Peoples party held joint
conference in this city Friday and out
lined the plan for the county campaign.
There was, as in fact there has been
from the commencement, the utmost
harmony, however much this may be de-
MED by those interested in the repub]i-
can county ticket, and reliable reports
from every voting precinct in the county
indicate that the ticket nominated at
Springfield last week by the fusion for
ces will have the hearty support Of not
only every member Of the two parties
but by a very large number Of independ !.
ent voters as well. 4 he Review has on
~ one suggestion to make to democrats
and populists ~ vote the ticket straight.
The ticket, as nominated, is admitted
even By rep ublicans to be a very strong
one, il fact stronger than their own, and
the only danger that can possibly arise
is that it may be weakened by scratch
ing Don't do it. Commence right by
making q cross mark at the head Of the
ticket and vote it straight from presi-
dent to county com missioner and You
will not only elet ttIgood men but will:
also give added strength TO your party
organization.
