Along with a large number of
fellow - votorn In the approaching
primary election for city officer#, 1
attended the called meeting at the
Court House on Wednesday night
to hear the various candidates tell
the "dear peepull" the reasons why
they should be elected either May
or, or Aldermen. . '
I derived considerable Amusement
during the progress of the seauce,
but honestly, didn't receive much
enlightenment as to what we may
expect from the incoming council
In the way of betterment of exist
ing conditions. The stock cry seem
ed to be "Bond Issue to establish
Municipal Ownership of Electric
Lights and Water Plant."
That supposed issue, people. Is
poppycock, pure and simple. When
the proper time comes, and surely
we "have a sufficient number of law
yer-cltigens In this city to inform
us as to the proper time, we are
going to vote the necessary bond
issue, and we are going to own our
Water and Light plant. As this Is
an assured fact, why bring it in us
an issue?
No, friends, the crux of the ques
tion In this campaign is not, how
this, that, or the other candidate
for Mayor, or Alderman stands as
to lights or water, but, what effort
this, or that candidate will put
forth, If elected, to hotter the con
dition of his ward and city.
What we want to do In the ap
proaching primary election is to
elect a Mayor and a Board of Al
dermen who will be liberal, yet
not extravagant in the conduct of
the affairs affecting the city, We
want a Council, who, when Its at
tention Is called by the Aldermen
from the several wards to bad con
ditions existing Jn their wards, will
make every effort to have eylls
abated and had conditions removed.
The silly talk of rigid economy In
the conduct of municipal affairs has
long since boen exploded in pro
gressive cities, both North and
South. Nothing of value can he
obtained without giving value re
ceived, and that our city stands in
need of something of value in.;tho
way of better streets and sidewalks
goes without saying.
I don't want to bo tedious in t>- '
letter, so I am going, to quit after
a while. Beforo closing however,
let mo ask the voters to vote only
for men vtoo will he liberal. Don't
vote for a niggardly candidate. Vote
for men, who, while safe-guarding
the interests of those tax-payers of
considerable property. are still
broad enough in their views to
know that parsimony In the conduct
of public affairs has always re
dounded to the loss of all.
It Is only through the election of
a Municipal Board such as I have
suggested that our people can hope
to prosper.
I noticed at the meeting that
there w^as a regular red - headed
wood-pecker'i neat of problems pre
sented by one, or the other of the
candidates. You know that the
?he wood - peeker Lays ulna. eggs.
At this meeting each egg waa rep
resented and ticketed, but the big
gest and most speck iedest of all
waa marked "BOB LATTA," Ac
cording to the story. Hob's pet ter
rier (not terror) snapped some
body's kid in bis yard one day last
year. - The edict of the powers
that were, and be, was that the
terror must be killed pronto, and
the head sent to foreign parta for
analysis as to whether the whole
dog had rabies, or not. Bob kick
ed, of course, as either you or !
Would if we valued a canine friend,
and the dog still llveth, but Bob
lost his job hh policeman.
There was a lot of other matter
discussed at the meeting, some of
it interesting, moat of it not. Some
of the speaker!) thought they cover
ed themselves* with glory, other*
knew they didn't. Taken all in all,
the affair was amusiug if not in
structive, and no one regretted his
presence. W. A. Sohrock.

PPOOOOQ
LOUIS HIEL.
Many an Indian of th,e northwest
Hid many Canadian half-br^oti ilrnily
believe that a certain blue-eyed bu
man firebrand, Louis Kiel by name,
will ?omo day xtrise from the dead and
lead bin people to victory ag&Ju?t the
English. A number of less supersti
tious people In Canada believed for
yearn that "the blue eyed Indian" had
never died; but that ho la somewhere
biding hla time In a place of safety,
waiting to bring riot and bloodshed
once more to the Dominion's British
settlers.
Louis Kiel waa a half-breed of the
"Metis" race of Franco-Indians. His
father waa a leader nf the Metis and
headed an uprising in 1849 against
the mighty Hudson Hay company in
Canada. Louis was bom October 13,
1844. He studied at the MontronI
Jesuit college with the idea of becom
ing a priest. But when he went to
take holy orders he was for some
reason refused ordination. In other
words, he was turned, loose on the
world with an excellent education, a
keen knowledge of whito men and
their ways, a gift for organization, a
wild genius for oratory and ? as was
.afterward claimed?a well-developed
case of egotistic insanity. Such a man
could do much among the local In
dians and excitable French-Indian
half-breeds.
The "Human Firebrand."
The Hudson Hay company ? one of
the most gigantic trusts ever lauuehed
had for a long time controlled the
fur trade, etc., of the northwest. The
company was the master and patron
of thousands of half-breeds and In
Hans. In the late sixties the Can a*
lian government bought and assumed
control of the Manitoba territories
hitherto ruled by the company. The
natives bitterly resented this change.
They hated the English. They loved
the company; although more than
onco they had rebelled ? against its
3tern orders. Riel, by flery speeches,
persuaded the hunters and savages
that they were entitled to part of the
money paid by the government for the
company lands. He made formal de
mand for this money. The Canadian
authorities refused. Then Riel called
his people to arms.
William McDougall was sent by the
British officials to assume control of
their newly acquired tract of country
as lieutenant governor. At the . head
of a little army of half-breeds and In
dians, Louis Riel forbade McDougall's
entrance into the territory. Riel cap
tured Fort Carry and other strong
holds, and caused himself to be elect
ed president of a "provisional govern
ment."
Thus, when only twenty-five years
old, Louis Riel, half-breed Indian, ex
theological student and professional
insurrectionist, became known to his
people as "President Riel." From
December 8, 1869, to August 24, 1870,
he ruled his wild republlo with tlrm
hand. As one of the youngest presi
dents in all history, defended his new
title most gallantly, capturing an en
tire British expedition of 48 men, and
even ordering at leaet one execution.
But Lieut. Col. Garnet Wolseley (la
ter famous as Lord Wolseley) march
ed against him with 1,000 regulars.
Kiel had no army competent to with
stand such a foroe. 8o he fled from
Fort Carry and escaped into the
United States. The Canadian gov
ernment ofTered a |6,000 reward for
his arrest. But when, a little later, he
came back to Manitoba, no one laid
hands on him. In fact, three years
afterward he was elected by his local
admirers a member of the Canadian
parliament. This was too much for
even so patient a government as that
of the Dominion. Riel was not allow
ed to take his seat In parliament. But.
next year, in 1874, he was re-elected.
He went to the parliament house at
Ottawa, signed his name to the rolls
and was sworn In as a member. But
when the news of this step reached
the English townsfolk of Ottawa there
was a storm of indignation a'nd threats
that forced the half-breed "ex-presl
\ fleo fl rom clt>'- After
which he was formally expelled from
parliament. Again, In the fall of the
same year, his faithful followers elect
e J1*?, but this time the government
declared him an outlaw. Then his
brain apparently broke down and for
some months he was confined In a
Quebec lunatic asylum.
A Mad Propheoy.
Thence Riel moved to Montana, but
a deputation of Indians and half
breeds followed and begged him to
aS*in and flght for
their rights. So back he came. He
found a dispute raging between the
natives and the BnjfUsh. A second
? "elf at head ot a
provincial government" In the north
west, captured the Duck Lake Indian
0thers aDd geUed Canadian
stores. Next he thrashed a
^orce of mounted police and volu*
teers sent to crush him, and It was
not until a larger body of troops waa
hurled against him that he was de
feated and captured. Rial was tried
