About u Loan.

The JOURNALS quondam friend, Lee
Fairchild, one of the executors of the
ForuH,, while looking for the evening
star on Wednesday, October "a, absent
mindedly loaned Frank Adams Acer, a
limb of New York city law, $3.50. The
understanding was that the loan was
temporary-to be repaid that self-same
evening.
But while Fairchild was at his old
sleight -Of-neck trick of trying to look at
the evening star and full moon in one
motion Acer somehow changed his name
to Acker and then held that while Acer
borrowed the money Acker couldn't be
held for repayment.
All this happened i'll the city of New
York, Fairchild being known in that
town as IA politician, newspaper man
and spellbinder. In this metropolis, it
will be remembered, he was held i'll high
esteem as IN editor evening star lecturer
and full-moon eulogiSt.
Well Fairchild has brought suit
against the unfortunate Acer, dIiuS
Acker, and there is every probability
that the latter will have to meet one of
two issues-pay up or establish an aIibj
for Accr when he signed an l. o. U. as
Acker.
An inauspicious circumstance develop
ed also when a messenger, sent by Fair
child's attorney to Acer or Acker's resi-
deucc, 49, west list street, returned with
the information that, instead of resi-
dence mt that number he found IA church.

M'ENIRY A CANDIDATE.
Moline Attorney Formally Announces
Himself for Minority Nomination.

Moline Attorney Formally Announces
Himself for Minority Nomination.
NJ. j. McEniry, of Moline, was at
Cam bridge yesterday. and. as he says,
found such bitter fight among the
candidates and their friends for in
dorsement of representative that he
believes the naming of either of the
leading candidates will cause an erup-
ton. The report of the committee on
credentials was not satisfactory to the
regular democrats, who recognize the
rights of the local com mitteeme en- to call
the caucuses, which was ignored by the
convention in the case of Kewanee
and Cornwall townships.
Mr.. McEniry therefore declares
himself candidate for the indorse-
ment of the democratic county con-
resentative. He believes the claim
founded upon the vote of both coun-
ties entities the party in this county
to hold the office at least three
times out of five, which never has
been the rule.
Mr.. McEniry needs no introduction
to the democrats of this county,
where he has lived all his life. His
ability will not be questioned 10 fear
lessly represent the whole democracy
of the district should he be sue
cessful. He has been active for
the best interests of the party for 20
years on committees and as a dele
gate to most of the conventions. He
has never before asked for a nomi-
nation for office, but has contented
himself to work for others, though he
was nominated as 8 candidate for
states attorney in 1892 and thor
onghly canvassed the county. making
about thirty speeches. and visited
every township of the county. which
he promises to do this year If nomi-
mated.
As . citizen he is progressive and
faEnrs all improvements of q public
character, as is evidenced by his work
for the location of the Northwestern
asylum in this county, for the Naval
Reserves, aud the new court house,
all Of which commend him to the pro-
gressiye people Of the county.
