GUST BILL RUSSELL
A Movement Started to Declare the
Long Absent G. and G. Com
missioner's Place Vacant.
The Council Will Be Requested This
Evening to Act-A Bond
49,, Proposition. L..

At to-night's council meeting, alder
manic attention will be called to the fact
that William M. Russell, invariably known
as bill" RUSSELL has absolutely neglected
his duties as member of the board of
charities and corrections for over four
months. REQUEST will also be made that
some action looking to the removal of
Commissioner Russell be instituted at
once.
The board has been greatly handicapped
by the absence of Mr. RUSSELL who went
on his famous fishing trip after the board
meeting of May II. His friends are
wholly unable to account for his long
continued absence and especially for his
failure to make known his whereabouts.
The general public suspects some con-
nection between the absence of "BilI'
Russell and the charges of Al Stringer
before the last grand jury. Russell was
one Of DR.. Ames' intimates So much
criticism and so many complaints have
been carried to Acting Mayor Jones that
he has come to the conclusion that it is
his duty to bring the matter before the
council.
His communication will doubtless be fol-
lowed by a resolution that the office be
declared vacant. There will be some OPP
position and possibly considerable filbus-
tering. 1t will take two-t thirds major
ity Of the twenty-six aldermen to GUST
Mr.. Russell, and several of the latter's
friends insist that the necessary eighteen
will never be secured. They are even
willing to bet on results, which goes to
show that the emissaries of Mr.. Russell
have been active in his behalf.
A Bond Proposition.
Possibly the most important matter be-
fore the council this evening" from the
taxpayers standpoint, is the proposal to
let the people vote on the proposition to
issue bonds for permanent improvements
The motion before the council calls for
only $3.50, 900, but there are many city
fathers who want to see the sum raised
to $500. 900, or even $1,000,000. From the
sale of the bonds a revolving fund is to
be created, which theoretically reinsures
itself by special assessments on abutt1ng
property, and when the time for redemp-
ton comes, has the money on hand.
In accordance with the offer of the
Northwestern Telephone company, sub
mtted a year ago. Alderman Nelson will
introduce a motion requesting the COM
pany to furnish free telephone to twenty
of the city offices in the new courthouse.
The company has stood manfully by its
proposition for a year, but, the. aldermen
are afraid that it is getting ready to de-
mand compensat ton for it's services. o..

Back Lost Beast.

The police picked up William Hinchy's
horse on the streets several days ago and
left the animal at a livery stable. Mr..
Hinchy had reported his loss to the police
and carefully each day called up each one
Of the five police stations to inquire for
his horse. He was about to give up the
quest when his eye was attracted by a
Journal want ad announcing that horse
had been found. The horse proved to be
Mr.. Hinchy's and to his surprise he
learned that it had been placed there by a
policeman. Mr.. Hinchy's temper imme-
diately rose. He had been calling up the
police every day over the telephone and
had received no information. He had to
pay the board bill at the livery stable, Of
course, but lost no time in sending it to
the city. The police, he argued before
the committee on claims this morning,
had been extremely negligent and he
should be reimbursed for his unnecessary
outlay Of money. His claim was dis

LOSS BY CHAMBERS
Willard F. Henion Loses Fifteen
Horses Ordinarily Worth
About $4,000.
Failure to Kill First Horses Discov-
cred to Be Infected Causes
Comment.

Willard F. Henion, who is in the draying
business, has recently lost $4,000 in horse
flesh, and, aside from mourning his loss,
is doing some thinking. Local health de-
partment officials declare that there is
no excuse for Mr.: Henions loss
I The health department has just killed
fifteen of Henion's draft horses, the last
batch of nine having been dispatched yes
terday afternoon.
Attention was called to Mr.. Henion' S
tables short time ago, and DR.. A. A.
Keys, the city veterinarian, examined the
eighteen horses found there. Six had
symptoms Of CHAMBERS so plainly developed
mallein test The remaining twelve ami
mails looked well, but DR.. Keys injected
mallein. and a reaction was secured in
nine cases. The animals showing evil
dence Of disease were promptly ordered
killed. Mr.. Henion objected strenuously
and filed a formal protest. insisting that
| the horses We're not affected.
| According to the provisions of the state
law, a board of appraisers was appointed.
Dr. Keys represented the city, DR.. G. e.
Cotton was umpire for Mr.. Henion, and
these selected Dr. M j. Sexton as arbiter.
The nine condemned horses were taken
| to New Brighton yesterday and an autop-
sy was made after they had been shot.
Assesses were found in all parts OF
the bodies, in the nasal sinuses, the
glands, the livers, the lungs and other
organs. AS all the animals were legally
proved to have been infected with con-
tagious disease, Mr.. Henion cannot re-
cover a cent and the loss is hence a Sc
we're one for fifteen sound animals are
easily worth $2,500
| The death of the horses brings to light
| a state of affairs to the health depart
ment officials wholly inexplicable. Ac-
cording to DR.. Keys, two horses in Mr..
Henion's stables were first killed on ac-
| count of having glanders. Acting under
! instructions of state officers, local vet
erinarian then tested the others with NAL
lein and the tests showed that six Of the
number apparently were affected with
the same disease. For some reason or
| other they were not killed, but were al
lowed to remain in the, barn with the
sound horses and to be used daily on the
streets, no doubt spreading the disease.
The state board, it seems, did not act,
and failed to notify the local board AS
| a result, Mr.. Henion lost nine horses more
| than there was any occasion for, accord
| ing to the local officials. 1t is the opinion
| of DR.. Keys that the source of the infec-
| ton of the horses which were killed under
his orders yesterday, was the original six
which were allowed to live after having
been tested and found to be diseased.

In his message the Governor says that
the tax rate for the coming year Will
probably be the lowest in the history
Of the State.
The Governor in commenting on the
assassination Of President Mckinley, says;
Those whose utterances have a tend
ency TO fncite disorder or murder should
be punished. The acts Of both newspa-
pers and individuals should be directly
cargeable to them, and such amendments
TO the laws as may be necessary to reach
all Offenders, either through a more eX-
