His Present Salary.

Rev. w. H. Hoppe, of Mt Pleasant,
formerly pastor OF the Willard street
Methodist church of this city has re,

Gently raised his salary, but there was
some opposition on the part OF some
of the members. Thereupon Rev.
Hoppe notified the board that he would
refuse the increase and would contin.
ue his labors at the old figure. Con
corning the matter, the Mt Pleasant
News says:
DR.. Hoppe, pastor of the Methodist
church, has notified the official board
that owing to a considerable opposi,
ton to the raise III his salary recently
voted by that body, he Will decline to
accept the raise but will insist upon
his old salary.
Some weeks ago some of Dir. Hoppe $
friends on the official board determin
ed to raise his salary, as it was con
coded on all hands that he was the
ablest man that had ever occupied the
pulpit. The matter was TALKED up
among the members of the board, and
at meeting last Monday night, by a
vote of twelve to four, raise Of 5000
was made in the pastors salary. There
was considerable opposition, however
which coming to the ears of the pas
tor, he determined to silence all pos
sible criticism by declining the raise
and expressing his satisfaction with
the old salary Of $1,000, and house
rent.

in time to prevent the engine from run
ming over his right foot.

He was taken to the penitentiary this

this sentence was one of the boldest
ever committed in this city. John and
William Lydon, both young men, were
on their way to the northern Iowa har-
vest fields. They had just left the
Union depot and were on their way to
the Milwaukee depot, when they were
set upon by two men near the Market

and robbed of all their money. Scan
Ian was soon arrested, charged with
the crime, and when placed on trial
was positively identified by both vic
tins. His conviction soon followed
and the sentence today was the result
