 At present the committee Is hamp- cred by the fact that Jacksonville is now struggling to erect on her square a monument to the Confederates who went from Calhoun County. This will be unveiled some time in August, after which the town will take up the John Forney monument with undivided in terest and zeal.

A JURY SCANDAL.
A JURY SCANDAL.
Probe Sink Deep in the Chicago Sys-

tenn.
Chicago. Sept. 20.-In all the courts
of Chicago except the municipal court,
where minor police cases are cared for,
the wheels of justice were at a stand
still for an hour this forenoon while
the Judges began an investigation of
the charge of irregularity in the office
of the jury commissioners.
Twenty eight judges, presided over
by Judge Cutting of the Probate Court.
listened to an impassioned arraignment
by States Attorney Wayman. of the
methods he alleged have been employed
in drawing juries.
He averred that names drawn by lot
for jury service were fraudulently dis
flee by names of men acceptable to
those in a conspiracy to defeat the
ends of justice. Whole venires were
tainted, he declared, by this metho cd.
even the grand jury suffering.
The States Attorney Is said to have
been watching the drawing for some
time, but this sensational action of Sat-
urday when he caused three arrests, Is
said to have been based ON the con-
fession of "squealer."
Those arrested were John ]. Holland,
secretary and member of the jury COM
mission; Willis ]. Rayburn. a real es-
tate dealer, and Nicholas J. Martin,
secretary to Alderman Michael hin
key Dink) Kenna. All are under
bonds.
Mr.. wayman will ask for a special
fund of $4,000 for use in the case.
Mr.. Wayman said to reporters:
"One thing I told the judges was
about the bomb jury when ia union
men were called. told them that it
was very strange that If 1 was trying
a union man a lot of union men were
called for jury service. and that IL
was trying a crooked banker, q lot 81
crooked bankers were called into the
box. There's something rotton in Dem
