The Telegram Is enabled thh morning to lay before its readers the sub-stance of the bill to establish a "municipal court tot Eaa Claire county." The measure is one of great importance to the people of the county, audit should receive the careful at- tentlon Df every taxpayer. Its treatment by the legislature will depend upon the wishes of the people of this county as expressed to their represent atives in the senate and the assembly. There can be no doubt that the court as proposed to be constituted would be a convenience to attorneys and perhaps to litigants, but it is not clear that it would not, be a heavy expense to the people In excess of the cost of the system now in vogue. The salaries of the judge and stenographer, H00O per year, would be a fixed outlay in excess of the present charges, and the two jury terms provided for would cost nearly, if not quite, 100 per day. Forty days of court per year would cost f-KXX) in addition to the fixed charges, and to offset this expense of approximately $8000 per year the county would receive the fees, fines and forfeitures wnich are now col- lected by the justices of the peace and by the municipal judge in state cases.

It should also be borne in mind that it will be necessary, in the event of the passage of the bill, to prepare a suitable court room in the county building for the proper discharge of the court's business and to build a vault for the safe keeping of the court's records. The amount of this expense is at present unknown. The bill is now before the people for discussion, and its merits and demerits 1 ought to be thoroughly yen tilatedbei fore it is allowed to become a law, The Case of Banker 5hove. Banker Shove, accused of accepting deposits in an insolvent institution, has lost the appeal which he took to the supreme court, and he stBl stands convicted, just be did when the jury returned a verdict against him at Osh-kosb. Shove was a resident of Manitowoc, and president of the T.

C. Shove Banking company. April 12, 1892, the company, made a voluntary assignment, precipitated, it was claimed at the time, by reason of the destruction by fire of the Manufacturing company, April 11 of that year, the Manufacturing company being the principal and heaviest debtor of the bank. In July, 1892, Shove was arrested on the charge of having received a deposit after knowing; or having good reason to believe that the bank was unsufe. Shove was tried at Sheboygan in 1894, before Judge N.

S. Oilson, but the jury dis- agreed. In tbe May following, Shove was re arrested upon complaint of HattieJ. Geyr, who alleged that on April 11, 1802, Shove fraudulently accepted a deposit from her of 1300, knowing that the Shove- Banking company was insolvent. The trial of this case was held in Winnebago county in March and April, 1896.

The defendant was convicted. Thereupon Circuit Court Judge George B. Burnell certified to the supreme court certain exceptions involving a general construction of a particular statute, especially in reference to the issuing of a certificate, whether or not the deposit of flattie J. Geyr, at tbe time alleged in the inform-. Rtion, was a deposit within the meaning of tbe law, or whether it was in the nature of a loan to tbe bank also whether the evidence produced upon the trial, showing the condition of the bank and tbe value of its assets, was competent.

Mr. Shove was not sentenced under this conviction, as the circuit concluded to certify these questions to tbe higher court. A Merited Rebuke. The president has delivered a scathing criticism upon indecent newspaper publications, in deaying a pardon to James B. Wilson, sentenced in Decern- ber, 1895, in Indiana, to two years' ira-tprisonment To? mailing oLscenepTperai." The president says "Denied; TEST convict was one of the editors and proprietors and a distributor through the mails and otherwise of a disgustingly vile aud obscene newspaper.

His conviction c.nd sentence was an event tending to the. promotion of public morals and the protection of the sons aud daughters of our land from filth and corruption at a time when indecent newspaper publications are so dangerous and common. campaign. The service of the Fourteenth in tbe campaign from ChatUuooga to Atlsata, like thttt of all the troops lu that great movement, ims severe una greatly to Its honor. Colonel Lrmiin Ward, who had succeeded Hancock, was In command of a brigade at the buttle of Nashville, the Fourteenth being a part of his command, and it won new honors and It took part lu the campaign against Mubilo, helped to Invest Spanish Fort, and was at Fort Blukeley, almost tbe last battle, fought, aud was mustered out October 19, 1805, having served four years.

More thau 100 were killed ordied from wounds, and 195 died of disease. Colonel Hancock was adescendant of the famous John Hanoock, signer of the Declaration of Independence, Lyman M. Wurd, who went out as a captain, left the. service a brevet brigadier-general. Most of the time since the war be has been a resident of Michigan, where he served in both brnuohes of the legislature.

F. Ferris.who entered as a private, reabed tbe rank of lieutenant-colonel, was for ten years a manufacturer at Fond da Lac, aud has for twenty years resided in Montana, wbere he has been prominent in politics, serving in the legislature aud asjdepartment commander of the Grand Army. The first lieutenant-colonel, Isaac E. Mossmore, was a circuit judge before the' war, resigned from the Fourteenth very soon and In August, 18C2, was made colonel of tbe Thirty -first, from which he resigned about a year later. He was for many years a resident of Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he was editor of a paper, and after thatresidedin Indiana, where he ran for congress, Van Epps Young was one of the adjutants, but was promoted to lieutenant-colonel of a Louisiana regiment Colonel Young i served in our state senate soon" after the war from Sheboygan county.

As good a soldier as the Fourteenth had was Capt Frederick IL Magdeburg. He has been prominent in Mil waukee business circles ever since the war. It was Captain Magdeburg who took the Illinois officer in charge after he had claimed that it was not the Fourteenth that captured the piece of artillery at Shilob. Samuel A. Harrison, who started a private and became, captain, was promoted to lieutenant colonel of the Sixth Mississippi.

John Kennealy was one of the few men who stepped from the rank of sergeant to captain of a company. Captain Kennealy lives in Milwaukee Calvin R. Johnson had been a Mexican soldier, and was promptly, made captain of a company in which ht served for nearly three years. His death at Black River Falls three weeks since ended a long, busy, eventful life. His successor, Michael Crawley, a man of dauntless courage, n.

Mi- allowed no man, officer or private, to trench upon his rights, and no soldier to suffer because the captain ranked him. On one occasion a private soldier thought he had been wrongly treated by the captain, and intimated that if they were on a level he would settle it with him tnen and there. Whereupon Captain Crawley threw off his coat and said, "Sir, I have no more straps than you now, and you shall not suffer for punishing a super ior officer." The clinch was a brief one. There is no telling what might have happened had not several officers and others separated them, John M. Read, a printer-editor, was one of the adjutants.

Ai'ter the war be was connected with papers at Neenah and Kewaunee. He represented his district in the senate in 1874 and 1375. Duncan D. Cameron was the second surgeon, succeeding Dr. W.

H. Walker. Dr. Cameron was a brother of ex-Senator Angus Cameron. He served in the state senate.

The Fourteenth had three different colonels, five different lieutenant-col-ooels, six majors. It had four different adjutants and five different surgeons. It had thirty-six different cap. tains and seventy-five different lieutenants. It- was a glorious command.

Mr. Kyle, who was re elootod senator from 8outh Dakota, has a remarkably Btrong personal following, lie has been a Republican aud an independent, and bas the solid support of the lie-, publicans, while the Democrats honor him and the Popaliuta like him very much. Ho has a most Interesting personality and his political views are so moderate an to draw to him tbe sup port of many conflicting elements. He was first elected to the senate In 1890 on the iodopencieni ucaet, uu people of South Dakota are well pleased with bis representation of their state in that body. Mr, Kyle is a thoroughly self made man.

JUe is a native oi Aetna, j. was educated at the University of Illi nois, and later entered Oberlin college, Ohio, from which he was graduated in 1878. He prepared for the bar, but changed his mind and determined he would join tne ministry. Ha entered the Presbyterian seminary at Pittsburg, and came forth a clergyman in 1882. His first pulpit experience was iu Utah, where be was pastor of a Congregational church.

After that he moved to South, Dakota and filled pulpits at Ipswich and Aberdeen. lis was in the beginning a Kepuuno- an, but favored a low tariff. When he made his campaign fot the senate In 1890 the Democrats voted for him. rhyslcally, Mr. Kyle a fine sample of manboodV He is fully six.

feet high i and weighs more than 200 pounds. His back is as flat as a board, and bis shoulders are broad and strong. He is an eloquent speaker, and, despite his youtb has been a commanding figure in tbe senate. politician in the west has. been able to command as many friends in all the big political parties as Mr.

Kyle. This fact is accounted for by bis magnetism, his kind Christian character and his broad political views, which lift him above all mere partisan likes or dislikes. The Fourteenth Wisconsin went into camp at Fond du Lao the fall of 1SCL One of the young men resided in a village on the lower Fox. Near his home lived a young lady. They loved and plighted.

A carriage ride of 25 miles to the railroad was necessary in making a visit to camp, yet the young lady made several, the last one for the final parting, when tbe regiment left the state. The leave taking was most sorrowful. "There is a couple that nothing but death will separate," said a sergeant Let us see At first two or three letters aweek nassed between them, I Three months later one a week did; six months later one a month, and not a very warm one answered. A year later the young lady was married to a Canadian. Did it break John's heart? Not a break.

While the regiment was spending a few days near a Tennessee village a pair of black eyes fascinated John, and a new love and correspondence sprang up, an engagement followed, and when the war was over the Yankee soldier and confederate girl were married. The southern wife died twenty years ago: A year before John's first love was divorced from her Canadian husband. Eighteen years ago last summer the original lovers, were married. Both are living. And there you are.

David E. Wood, a Fond du Lao lawyer, was the Fourteenth's first colonel. Its first major was John Hancock. He was the first military officer in full uniform I ever saw. At that time he was first lieutenant of Capt Bouck's company that joined the second infantry.

He had visited our town to see about getting a few recruits to fill upl the company. As he passed along the sidewalk the stores and offices were emptied to catch a look at him. What a fine looking officer he was, and what a magnificent soldier he became Less than a year after leaving the state he became lieutenant colonel, and a month after that colonel. The Fourteenth had its baptism of fire at Shilob, where it lost 20 men killed and 73 wounded. Colonel Wood received an injury by the fall of his horse which compelled him to leave the service.

This left Major Hanoock in command, Lieutenant-Colonel Mess-more haying previously been injured by the bursting of a shell. Tbe regiment was ordered to charge a battery. The. enemy was driven from the bat tery, large numbers of tbe horses shot, and Lieutenant Stanley spiked one of the guns. The infantry support of the battery poured in a murderous fire, and as tbe balance of the brigade had failed to reinforce the Fourteenth fell back, but it made two other charges, captured and held the battery.

The gun spiked by Lieutenant Stanley' was sent to Wisconsin, Recently an Illinois officer has tried to prove that the Fourteenth did not capture the gnu, but the proof that it did that there is not a shadow or doubt. It was at Shilob that the Fourteenth was given the name of Wiscousin Regulars, Corinth was its next great struggle." It lost JM killed and CO wounded. They were at Vicksburg almost from the first to participated ia the gallant charge of May 22d, and advanced further than any other regiment of the hrigude, losing 28 killed aud DO wounded.
