BEER, BOTTLES AND BOOZE

of Washington street, at the corner
of Main, and on the south side of Main.
1t was impssible to effect this ex-
change, because the owner of the.
ground on the corner of Main and
Washington would not sell his frac-
tion of lot unless it were practically
covered over with gold dollars.
Now comes the announcement that
the Anheuser-Busch company have
perfected their plans for buildino to
be erected on their lot, which compris-
es not hotel, not fine business block,
but cold storage and bottling estab-
lishment, a stable for horses, and
sheds for wagons and beer kegs.
The building is to be STORY AND
A HALF structure. 55xSS feet, with
deep basement; is to be used for beer
storage: is to have finished office,
and THERE WILL BE A STABLE
FOR HORSES ON THE FIRST
FLOOR.
This is the pleasant prospect pre-
sented to the people of Ottumwa. this
is what is to, be placed upon one end
of block of ground that should by
all means be secured as a park to all
the people for all time. The value of
the remaining property, which now be-
longs to the people will be ruined and
the first greeting which reaches the
stranger alighting at our splendid I'm
ion depot will be one of "beer, bottles
and BOOZE"
The question that the Courier wants
|, to ask right here is, "Are the people
of AOttuwma going to stand this kind
of business; are they going to permit
this thing to go on, without protest
SO vigorous and so determined that
even the crushing juggernaut of St.
Louis beer brewery will have to hold
up in it's ruthless career of violation of
every element of justice. right and de-
cency?"
Let the people of ottumwa speak
with no uncertain sound. The col
umns of the Courier are open to them.

The books of the Nicely Printing Co.,
of Muncie, Ind, from which company
Neely ordered supplies for the depart
ment of posts in Cuba. show he receiv-
for printing $7,997, while the bills paid
and money order records at Muncie
show that $2.131 more than the
amount indicated by the books was
paid. Some bills were paid twice. The
department of post purchased frona the
Keylers Lock Co.. of Indianapolis,

REPORTS ON CUBAN FRAUDS.
Postmaster General Makes a Public
Statement of Findings.

Washington, July 26.-The postmas-
ter general has made public the report
of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al Bristow, who Investigated the Cuban
postal frauds. Bristow finds that Nee
ly's embezzlements aggregated at
least $131 ,713, and says he was justi-
fied in recommending the removal of
Director General Rathbone. Whether
or not the latter was guilty with Nicely
in the embezzlements, he says, there
can be no doubt in the matter of un-
authorized per diem allowance, per-
sonal expenses and warrants cashed
and unaccounted for. and he unlawful
ly appropriated to his own use the
money of the Cuban revenues.
Bristow explains that the bureau Of
finance inaugurated by Rathbons, Of
which Nicely was appointed chief,
started July Z, 1899, and was charged
with the custody of all stamps and
postal supplies.
Nicely Had 1t His Own Way.
The report says that no accounts Of
an unbonded postmaster were requir-
ed, the remittances being entered as
cash sales, and the only information
the auditors Office had of these trans
actions came from Neely himself.
There was no check whatever on his
transactions. From the accounts ex-
amined the report says the minimum
of Neely's embezzlements may be sum-
married. as follows:
Shortage as shown by his own rec
ords, 100000; excess credit by the dis
tribution of surcharged stamps def
nitely ascertained, s1O1,113; total,
$131,713.
This will be increased by the discov.
cry of additional sales of surcharged
stamps, but will not exceed $4,000 in
the aggregate.
The report says Rathbone appointed

COUNTY AUDITOR HALDEN may
we'll feel proud of the vote accord

During the campaign Mr.. Halden
was not among the candidates who
"worked" Virginia, and the vote
given him, which was the largest
accorded any of those candidates
who sought reelection, may we'll
be accepted as a correct mirror of
the esteem in which he is held by
our citizens and their confidence in
his official ability. Mr.. Halden is
recognized as the most efficient
county auditor in the state of Min
nesota, and his reelection for the
fourth time is proof that the people
appreciate the manner in which he
has attended to the duties of his po-
sition.
