il not wise for Davis TO take charge of

Davis had best resign.

OF inmates that he would have under
him while overseer Of the county house,

might seem uncalled for and cruel,

of the poor. exonerates Mr.. Davis on
every charge that he has thus far had
to face.
Mr. Ely said that the exoneration OF
Mr.. Davis so far as immortality charges
are concerned are just, and while he
thought he would make good overseer
for the county house, as his past work
there had shown, yet he thought it ad-
visable for Mr.. Davis to hand in his res
ignation on account of the feeling exist

HE SKIPPED WITH
ANOTHER WOMAN.
An Ex.Mnister Of the Gospel Su-
cumbs to the WiIes Of a
Siren.
THEY ARE SUPPOSED
TO BE IN CHICAGO.
Wife Deserted After 33 Years OF
Married Life.

1t has never been the policy of The
Record to publish matters regarding
family troubles or scandals that are
always occurring in every community,
and will occur as long as the flesh Of man
is weak, but there are times when il is
better by far TO print the truth than to
allow the many and varying reports to
be circulated, reports that are so often
exaggerated to such an extent that the
innocent are made to suffer along with
the guilty.
Because Of wish to publish the truth
this case so that only the guilty ones
may lie made to suffer, We give the
following details of an affair of this
kind which eliminated here last Mon
day night when man, who once was
entitled to the prefix "Rev to his name
and has since living in Alma, on several
occasions. occupied the pulpit OF one OF
the churches, left his wife and home,
all on account Of another woman, whose
influence over him had reached such an
extent, that, as he told his wife before
leaving, "he could nos live without her. !"
The mans name in this case is L.
f. Wright, and his paramour went
by the name of Emma Howes.
Wright moved here about one year ago,
coming from Elsie, where he was a
prosperous farmer He sold his farm
and put the money in the bank after
coming here, in the meantime securing
employment at the sugar factory when
that institution was running, and at
other times working at whatever he
could find to do. He seemed 10 be an
honest, industrious man, a man with
good education, and after indentifying
himself with one Of the churches, as
sisted in the services and on several
occasions occupied the pulpit. He bad
one daughter living who has not been
married long, and his home life seemed
TO be happy and all that man could wish
for, until the woman in the case crossed
his path. From that time he has been
changed man and the outcome of the
affair is that they are supposed to be in
Chicago living life of shame.
The wcman's maiden name was
Harter, and she has a husband and three
children living, although her husband
has not claimed her as wife for some
time. Mrs. Wright seems to be de-
vout, christian woman and is almost
crazed by grief because Of her husbands
actions. Her father is quite well to do,
and at present is living with relatives
In Fenton. She is 90 years of age while
Wright is o. both we'll along in years,
and had been married 33 years this sum-
mer. The woman Wright left with
does not lay any claim 10 respectability
and does not possess any degree Of in
| telligence.
Mrs. Wright does not propose TO let the
matter drop but will follow the couple up
and have them arrested, and if possible
place them both behind the bars.

RAILROAD TAX sH1RRIhe IN LINCOLN.
That the good people Of Lincoln are
the victims Of railroad tax Sinking In
almost the same degree as the taxpayers
Of Omaha has long been apparent TO
all who have looked into the facts. But
Lincoln taxpayers have for the most
part preferred to believe that the protest
against the favoritism enjoyed by these
big corporations was solely a selfish at
tempt on the part of Omaha to get hold
Of property that was taxed elsewhere
in the state. There are signs, now, that
Lincoln is getting its Eyes open to the
~lniquity Of the present system Of ex-
empting railroad property from city as
sessment and beginning to realize that
II is an equal sufferer with Omaha. The
following from the State Journal is d.
rectly in point:
An interested citizen who wanted to
know how much the railroads really pay
for the support Of the city government
went to the city hall yesterday and con-
suited the treasurer's books. He was SO
much Disguised with the result that he
brought the figures straightway to the
Journal. Here they are, not the valuation,
but the actual amount OF the tax in each
case.

THE APPEAL TO THE MINERS.

The circular issued by President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers,
calling upon the members Of the union
to cooperate with the management of
the mines in an effort to increase the
production of coal, will be generally
commended. The miners are told that
1t is the duty of every one connected
with the production Of coal to relieve
the situation and alleviate as far as pos
sible the suffering of the people who are
unable under existing conditions to OBJ
tain coal. The local unions are advised
to at nee hold meetings and devise
means by which the daily output Of the
mines may be increased.
Undoubtedly this advice of the presi-
dent of the national organization of min
ers and the presidents of the several an
thracite districts will be promptly
needed, and 1t is to be hoped with good
results. The miners, it is safe to say, will
be found willing to do their part for re-
lieving the situation, but 1t cannot be so
confidently assumed hat the manage
ment of the mines will be equally well
disposed. 1t is the understanding that
since the resumption of mining the men
generally have at alletimes been ready
to push the production of coal, but. the
operators, or most of them, have shown
the nearly three months since mining
was resumed the amount of coal pro-
duced has not been much more thar one-
half of what it might have been. 1t is
estimated that in this time the produc-
ton has been about 100000 tons,
while it could have been made 20,00O, 600
had the operators desired. But such an
output would have prevented the com
bination from plundering the public as
It is doing, a policy which it doubtless
intends to continue as long as it is per-
mitted to. The independent operators
are not the least culpable in this respect,
having indeed shown quite as great
greed and merciless indifference to the
suffering of the public as have the man
ayers of the coal-carrying companies
which control most of the anthracite
fields.
The call to the union miners of their
leaders, If it shall be responded to as
expected, will compel the operators to
increase production or notify the public
that they do not intend to make the
necessary effort to relieve the very
grave situation. With the miners ready
to cooperate the mine owners will be
able to find no plausible pretext or sub
terfuge for increasing production to the
fullest extent possible. The action of
President Mitchell is judicious from
every point of view. 1t will, If it have
the intended result, give the union min
ers a new claim to the public regard.
Tactically, 1t is one of the wisest things
that have been done since the inception
Of the anthracite strike.
