Timely Advice From Illinois.
c.. A. Burton, Benton, ILL.,, writes us
as follows:
Am of your opinion with reference
to the situation and will endeavor to
be with you at Cincimati. Do your
best to have all the states represented at
the convention. It will be the sheerest
folly for our friends, to stay at home,
because the work Of 1893 was brought
to naught. By doing this they" will be
only playing into the hands of our ene-
mics. All who desire aggressive action
have been disgusted with the apathy
and inactivity of our forces, but we
should not on this account surrender the
present opportunity to our foes. =

association, having addressed a letter

has elicted the fact that the board is
almost unanimous on the question of
holding the next annual meeting of the

therefore call the meeting OF the as

Choose q Backbone,

R. A. Thompson, of PENNSYLVANIA,
writes Hon. Wharton Barker as fol-
lows:
There is one point that has always
been our weakness and that is the Sc
lection of our national chairman. Can
we not find man who has the back
bone and honesty to withstand the
temptations to sell out? All we need
is good, solid, practical man who
will be firm as rock for the next four
years, and who cannot be bought. With
out man of this sort do not see how
we can build up our party again. I
am very much inclined toward a new
name for our party, as we should avoid
contest in several states for the party
name.

FOR CRUELTY To HIS HORSE
George kuebIer. n Grocer, Fined in
Police Court-Mnny Indignant
N~ciphbOrS Testify.

George Kuebler. a grocer whose place OF
business is Forty first and Grand avenue,
was fined s. IN police court yesterday after
noon for cruelty to a horse. He paid his fine
ana through his attorney gave notice OF APP
peal.
The court room was crowded all day
with nelghbors Of Kuebler, listening to the
testimony Of the eighteen witnesses who had
been subpoenaed I'm behalf Of the prosecu-
ton. The Humane society was represented
by Rev. John Williams, one of its officers.
Miss Lizzie l.. Banker, principal Of the Cen
trial Park school, was the chief witness for
the city.
William T.. Fox, grocer, testified that he
had seen Kuebler drag the horse from the
stable with a windlass, then hitch it up and
attempt to work it. The cords of its legs
were contracted so that the animal stepped
on the top Of its hoofs, its ankles coming
in contact with the ground. On one
occasion he saw the horse hauled home on
a stone-boat and two days later he saw
Kuebler trying to drive it to the delivery
wagon.
Fred Henniger, a 1O-year-old boy, testified
10 seeing Kuebler beat the horse with a
club while the animal was down, unable
TO rise.
Mis-. Nhlllt 'i9'l' 81 h'lbhb'i VI NH'''Ni ,
testified IN substance as follows:
con Monday, December II, | saw the
horse lying in the road near the school
house, unable to move. II lay there from
Monday until Thursday. During this time
/ didn't see him go near it with feed or
water. Monday and Tuesday nights were
bitter cold, but the horse was without cover
or shelter of any kind"
Miss Banker testified to seeing the horse
hauled by the school house December 20
on a stone boat. 1t was emaciated and
badly crippled.
Have you ever had any experience with
horses, Miss Banker" asked Attorney
Fitch. The answer was a surprise.
Eyes, sir replied the school ma'am.
'T've had horses of my own for the last
nine years, and all my life have had more
or less to do with the handling of them"
Attorney Fitch informed the court that
the prosecution of his client is spite work,
and ntimated that the horses disabled
condition was due to its having been pois-
oned by some Of the ~neighbors. He init
mated further than he would file complaints
against some Of the witnesses who were
present.
