below this were two ours ciossed and lied
with blue and orango ribbons.
From chandeliir to chandelier was
stretched hunting of blue and orange, the
colors of the Club. The effect of tuo gas
upon the colors was very pleasing. Supper
was nerved in the sample rooms of the hotel,
where Mines had been prepared to seat 50

efforts in behalf of honest snorts are heartily
secwi'leJ by the ladies of Ottawa. We trust
that, iu : tic luture the Ottawa Hunt Club will

iul city The cup shall be the property ot
the Ottawa Boat Club, and shall be rowed for

efforts on the part of Hie members to make
the Club a marked success.
After this incident and the serving of sup
per, dancing was resumed and continued un
til a late hour. The party was in every
way decided success. There was uo stiff
ness about it and no hitch. The crowd was
not too great to cause a crush, and the peo

The Inst theory of the Rock Islam! rob-
t an J murder case seems determined to
ce it.elf tefore the public. Reference
s made to the thsory sereral days ago. It
hat a party of men took breakfiwt with by
name of Aastin, in Kendal county the
rning after th tragedy, having applied
the same. 1'inkerton emphatically den
any knowledge sfit. It is now known
t some of h'19 men who were here early in
cn.e are now working on this clue. The
a who dined with Austin on that mcmor
e morning went into the cattle business
n of the northern counties. The detect-
werke-1 upon this clue has been done
y quietly, no athentic news coming to the
lie eae. It is now rumored that one or
b-e of th suspecte hare been arrested and
behind the bars. It is further said that
ties from Morris expect to be callec to
cagoverpsoon to either aid in identifying
parties or give information roneerntng
ten pertaining to the case. iforrii Xnrt.
Tli1 follow hij: U taki-n from Mr. Enjoin?
Fichls' ' plirps nnd Flits" column lu the
Ciilcao Ihiihj yirs of v"tn!ity. We cm
join Mr. FifhUverv heartily In his le:e-t:i-tioti
of the Hon. Klijali M. llalnos, who is
nothing but an urratit ileiuagogue, who, lu
tht last session of th legislature of this
st:it, passed every bound of propriety and
political decency. "We are sorry that the
Hon. Andrw Welch lu not to be a member
of the nexf legislature. He makes no pre
tention to btilllHncy, but the people of the
Fox river country never had a more digni
fied, a more thorough, or a saferrepresenta
sive at the state capital. He made no
splurges In the last legislature, but his pru
dent counsels saved the democratic majori
ty many a folly. It was he who led the
opposition to Elijah M. Haines In the
deinocaatlc caucus, and if his advice had
been heeded the democrats in the legisla
ture would have been spared the humilia
tion to which Haines subsequently sub
jected them. He had the manhood, too, to
reject the terms of conciliation with which
Haines sought to giin his co-operation. He
refused to be cajoled or bribed Into even a
t'icit approval of a trade which stultified his
party. From first to last he made an honest,
staunch, manly fight for democracy, and we
regret that there is not a possibility of his
return to the legislative seat which he filled
so honorably and so dlgnitiedly."
The Cook county grand jury, who, during
the pan two weeks have been Investigating
the recent anarchist movements in that
city, on Thursday returned bills of Indict
ment found against Spies, Feilden. Parsons,
Schwab, Fischer, Hischberger, Llnng nnd
Si huanble. for the crimes of murder, con-
siilmcv and incltinir people to riot, it is
the intention ef State's Attorney Grlnnell
to push the matter to a speedy hearing, and
If possible to obtain sufficient evidence
against them to punish them to the full
extent of the law. The action of the grand
jury will have a very salutary effect upon
other anarchists who are inclined to resort
to violent measures and who have no hesl-
ttinev about sheddinc innocent blood. The
men under indictment deserve the severest
pennltyi that the law can Inflict. They
are nothing short of the most cowardly
murderers.
