A good-sized family .rumpus seems to have been stirred np in the Nya Pressen newspaper office over a letter that accidentally strayed from the pocket of the recipient and inoppor tunely fell beneath the gaze of the wrong individual. Prof. William Ljung was formerly the editor of Nya Pressen. He went to Chicago sever al months ago to act as an interpre ter at the World's fair. He claimed to have have been frozen out of his editorial position in Moline because thev reduced his salarv below the living point, etc., his impression be ing that they wished to make it an object for him to give way in favor of someone else whom the directors seemed to favor. As another chap ter of the siory Herman Linderoth, who succeeded John A. Freeman as manager not long ago. was on Satur day deposed from his position and Mr. Freeman elected to till the posi tion again. Mr. Linderoth claims that the action was due to the in trigues of the aforesaid Freeman and two of the directors, who, he thinks, were more interested in promoting the welfare of Mr. Freeman than that of the newspaper. Now the Republican-Journal tells the facts of the newspaper row as follows: Several days ago. ex-Editor Ljung wrote a letter to Mr. Linderoth in which he, besides referring to some strictly private and personal matters, discussed the alleged intriques of Mr. Freeman and the other two di rectors. Mr. Linderoth was at the Nya Pressen office on Friday morn ing ami accidentally dropped the let ter out of his pocket. When he missed the letter he returned to the office and learned that Mr. Freeman had picked it up and appropriated it despite the fact that it bore on its face prima facie evidence of being Mr. Linderoth s property. J he lat ter gentleman went to Mr. Freeman's house and demanded the return of the letter. Freeman felt sore about t he roasting he aud his friends had received in the missive and refused to give it up, whereupon Mr. Linde roth gave him notice that he would begin legal proceedings to recover fits property. He consulted a Mo line attorney, who informed him that Freeman had laid himself open to the charge of larceny. S:iv the M-.ite's Attorney. Linderoth then went to Rock Isl and and he claims that it was while consulting the state's attorney that the letter was sent to him by Mr. Freeman, he having in the meantime published the contents so far as he elected. Mr. Linderoth is wroth, of course, and states that he is advised that he yet has legally a good hold on Freeman and that if the hitter's Apollo-like form isn't encircled by the strong right arm of the law he can attribute it to the mercy that season's justice betimes. Mr. Freeman states that he found the letter iri the toilet room on the floor, a tfd picked it up from among some scraps of waste paper. Having found it unsealed in a public place, he did not consider it private prop erty. He "says that the letter was cf a UbelcfHrt" nature ami concerned him self, C. A. Rosander and Editor Ol son. That is why he took such a keen interest in saving the epistle. He pronounces the charges in the letter as false ami slanderous anil calculated to get their author. Prof. William Ljung. into trouble if the trio thus libeled see fit to prosecute him. Carried Their Point. The contract was closed with Volk & Co. for the "hew No. 4 school build ing Saturday evening, it being ex pressly stipulated that the stone work was to be let to ex-Mayor Mc Conoehie, though no agreement was made with regard to the brick, it be ing understood that William Atkin son is to furnish it. As Contractor C. J. Larkin had made the same bid with Volk & Co. that he did with Sievers & Anderson, whose proposition, it is charged, was rejected by the anti-Cathulic influ ences on account of Mr. Larkin's name appearing on it as a sub-contractor, it would appear that the as sertions heretofore made as to the undue iulluence being brought to bear to defeat Mr. Larkin and all as sociated with him, were fully sub stantiated.

A Number for Improvement Association Action. A MEETING CALLED THIS WEEK. rrewident .laekson Ures the Atten'lanee of Members That Matters of the I'tmost Importance to the City May Receive I'roper Attention Columbian (iroaniln M XV. A. Oftlces The Glais Factory. President Jackson, of the Rock Island Citizens' Improvement asso ciation, has prepared a special circu lar to the. members of the association urging their attendance at a meeting to be hebl next Thursday evening at the rooms in Mitchell & LyndeV block. The association has consid erable important work on hand that should be looked after, and it is hoped that' the president's appeal will be met by a response on the part of all the members. The winding up of the Columbian matter, the bring ing of the head offices of the Modern Woodmen from Fulton to Rock Island and the glass factory situation are all projects of the utmost importance demanding action on the part of the association and its committees. The Columbian Grounds. As regards the Columbian tract, the association should render the com mittee in charge all the aid possible in the disposition of it. The land will soon fx; pnt on the market, anil unless some steps are taken look- nig to the reservation of part of it for park purposes the eastern portion- of the citv will lose its only opportunity to se cure such andvantages. As all our public improvements of recent years have originated with the Improve nient association, it may be ex pected to take the initiative in urg ing upon the city, which has always co-operated with it. the desirability ot purchasing a block of the Colum bian tract for park purposes. The ground may be readily adapted to such designs, and the people of that part of the citv need and deserve breathing place of this kind. The Columbian grounds ahtoie afford it The M. V. A. Ollicers, It is important too, that steps be taken looking to the fulfillment of the association's pledge with refer ence to the moving of the head office: of the M. W. A from Fulton to Rock Island. Now that all legal obstruc tions are practically removed a com mittee should be sent to Fulton to seek a dissolution of the injunction the and speedy removal of the offices as ordered bv the Omaha convention. The Glass Fartory. It behooves the association to do something in view of the closing down of the Rock Island glass facto rv and the threatened loss of this in dustry. The association has for one of its chief aims the encouragement o f new industries. It should also foster and save to the city those al readv established here. DEATH TO DOGS. Mayor Medill lnsues a Timely Order A Precautionary Move. Mayor Medill, in view of the mad dog occurrence of Saturday, has in structed Chief Sexton to order his men to put to death all dogs sus pected of having been bitten by the dog that created such a disturbance last week. Incompliance with this Officer Long this morning shot one dog that was bitten, and the ollicers have others on their list. There are many who believe that the mayor ought to order all dogs muzzled at once and thus prevent any further spreading of the dread disease. While; Mayor Medill thinks there is no occasion as yet for such stringent measures, it would certainly be the safest jan after all. To the Iuveiiiort Ilnreo. A special train will leave the C K. I. & P. depot at 1:45 j). m. daily July 11th. 12th, 13th and 14th. for the Davenport Mile Track. Heturning this train will leave the track after the last race and run through to Kock Island.
