SOME OUTSIDE OPINIONS.

Fowler Republican: The people of Remington have petitioned Judge Hanly to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate violations of the liquor law at that place. They haven’t much confidence in state’s attorney Graves. Fowler Leader: A petition headed by Levi Hawkins and signed by the best men of Remington, has been presented to Judge Hanley, asking that a special prosecuting attorney be appointed tb hold court, or courts of inquiry and with full power to prosecute all oases warranted by the evidence. The inference is that Prosecutor Graves did not do his duty at the last sitting of the grand jury; but often the grand jury has to be shown things. Kentland Enterprise: Attorney George E. Hershman of Rensselaer has been named by Prosecutor Graves as his deputy, with power to act in any part of the district. Mr. Graves aims to make his office an effective branch of the judicial government, and will aid and promote in every way within his power the prosecution of law violators. GoodlandPlaindealer: The antisaloon League and other people of Remington petitioned Judge Hanley to appoint a special prosecutor and named George E. Hershman of Rensselaer as the man they wanted. At Judge Hanley’s request Prosecuting Attorney Graves appointed Mr. Hershman special prosecutor. The appointee was candidate for prosecutor against Graves on the democratice ticket at last fall’s election. 20 different flavors of Holiday chocolate oreams3sc per lb. Chicago Bargain Store.
