Lake Filling With Wild Rice

Lake Ellllng with Wild Rice.
Lake Onamia is filing up with it's
annual crop of wild rice and in a
short time only the course of the river
will be open water. There is ex-
cellent fishing to be had in our lake,
if the rice were taken out, and that
can be done by raising the water in
the lake, and in no other way. The
Breeze thinks the village could make
no better move than to condemn the
dowage above here, have it assessed
and pay for it, then dam up the out
let and close up the dam for three
years. That will kill the rice. Old
settlers who were here forty years ago
say that the lake was then free from
rice and that it has been seeded in by
the Indians. However that it may be,
it is absolutely necessary that the
level of the lake be raised and the rice
killed. Else we will have nothing but
a foul swamp near US, a breeding
place for mosquitoes and disease

Confession Of State Senator Holstlaw
Then Lorimer made his speech. It
was long speech and naturally a bit
ter one. In It he gave history of his
life, likewise review Of Cook county
and Illinois politics, but as for the ac-
cusations against him contented him
self with a sweeping denial that one
cent had been spent in his election. His
especial grievance was against the Chi
cago Tribune that had published the
White affidavit which had started all
the trouble. Lorimer charged that the
Tribune was trying to destroy him,
his friends and the bank which he
was then organizing. The reason for
Its animus was that it wanted to con-
troll Cook county and Illinois politics,
and he had defed it and refused to
bend the knee. The senator also paid
bis respects to Governor Deneen, whom
he charged with having suggested his

State Senator Holstlaw an admission
that he was paid $4,000 to vote for the

Resume Of the Charges Made
Against the United States Sen.
at0r From Illinois.
BY JAMES A. EDGERTON.

|" HE Lorimer case is the big link
in chain Of bribery charges
that has wound itself about
various American states and
cities. Perhaps it is not the last link.
That is a matter which only the fu-
ture can disclose. At least it is the
link now most prominent in the public
view. Two separate Investigations are
under way in relation to the Lorimer
charges, one by Illinois grand juries,
the other by the United States senate.
Prior to these came another investiga-
ton by a Chicago newspaper, culmi-
mating in the publication of the IA
nous White confession .
LOrimer has been in the senate
scarcely a year. Elected by a BIZ
partisan combination consisting Of fif-
ty-five Republicans and fifty-three
Democrats, his victory could scarcely
have been more dramatic if it had
been planned for its stage effects
alone. For one thing, the extra ses-
sion was still struggling with the tariff
bill, and his vote was needed. For
another, he was chosen on the ninety
fifth ballot after the longest senatorial
deadlock in the history Of Illinois and
one of the longest ever seen in the ma
ton. For third, the two party alli-
ance by which he won success was
unusual. For fourth, his candidacy
was scarcely whispered until the very
day and almost the very hour Of his
triumph. William Lorimer, former

better and making the inquiry broader
and more thorough than he had de-
signed. 1t is the first case Of the sort
that has been before the body since
that Of William A. Clark, the copper
king. In many respects the two are
startlingly alike. Clark was elected as
a Democrat, but by the aid Of Repub-
lican votes. Marcus DAILY, Clark's
personal, political and financial en-
envy, thereupon charged fraud, and
the case was taken up by the commit
tee on privileges and elections. In
the hearings that followed it seemed
that all the political dirty linen Of
Montana was run through the senate
washer and hung out to dry in Uncle
Sans front yard In the end Clark
resigned before there was time to
expel him. but was reappointed by the
governor.
Another case similar to that of Clark
and Lorimer was that Of Henry r.
Payne of Ohio. It was alleged that
there was Standard Oil money behind
Payne. The report in that case held
that a members seat cannot be saved
by his personal exculpation and vim
dication. The integrity Of the cleo
ton, not of the member, is in question,
One would have to delve into an
cient senate history to find other par
allels. Through all the same rule has

senate. 1t requires two-thirds vote
to expel, but accused members fire.
quently have resigned before actual
expulsion was reached. The report Of
the senate committee on privileges and
elections of a quarter Of a century
ago speaks forcibly on the matter:
''Your committee is aware of the
transcendent Importance of throwing
around the senate of the United States
the highest safeguards against seat
ing or allowing any man to occupy a
seat in that body whose title thereto
was procured by bribery, fraud or cor
ruption. The indiscriminate and fire.
quently the corrupt use of money by
political parties without exception and
their candidates has become one of the
most powerful and dangerous instru-
mentalities in elections"

PREFERS DEATH TO
 CAPTURE BY MOB

Jackson, Ky, October H.-Accepting sentence of death by electrocution rather than face probable hanging at day confessed and pleaded guilty in court to the murder of Matthew Craw- ford, who was amoushed at his distil- lery near this city last Tuesday night.
 Tonight Little is in jail at Lexing- ton, whither he was rushed under guard immediately after sentence was passed upon him.
 The judicial proceedings against Lit tie were among the shortest on record. Warned that Crawfords friends had planned to lynch him after Mrs. Little had told officials that her husband killed the distiller, the prisoner con- fessed and asked for an immediate trial.
 The Crawford adherents were at tending the dead mans funeral and knew nothing of the proceedings. The circuit court being in session a jury was>empanelled, Little formally pleaded guilty and six minutes later he was sentenced to death.
 Mountaineers who had followed Judge James Hargis, Crawfords uncle, when that feudist was in his glory, flocked to Jackson late yesterday and last night. Assembled In a darkened store room in which not one ray of light was allowed to penetrate, they discussed the killing and heard the story of V. c. Mullikin of Lexington, who, with blood hounds had tracked Little after the murder
 The latter revealed to them the con fession of Mrs. Little, who told Mulli- kin that the prisoner killed Craw- ford because the distiller refused to give him whisky. The feudists had planned to string up Little and by torture, force statement revealing the names of his supposed confederates, the first reports of the killing having 1t that three men and woman were con cerned.
 Assured that only Little was re- sponsible they dispersed from the meet ing in the dark but carried their arms openly about the streets today and let it be known that speedy punishment must be the lot of Little.
 The sentencing of the culprit fol- lowed and tonight all is quiet.
