Alex. Wisniewski, who was a candidate on the democratic ticket for the office of drainage trustee, and who was defeated at the election on April 2, was arraigned this morning in the South Chicago municipal court on an assault charge preferred by Joe Zolkowski, 415 Eighty-ninth street. Zolkowski alleges that Wisniewski accused him on the Sunday following election day with having made charges derragatory to his character during the campaign and on Zolkowski's denying the charge, struck him a blow with his fist that discolored his eye. The alleged assault occurred in front of "Big Mike" Cleclelski's saloon, 8830 Commercial avenue, and was the result, Zolkowski believes, of AVisniewski's soreness at the outcome of the election. The hearing of the case was post
poned for one week by Judge Glrten
on the request Wisniewski's attorney's,
who represented that the defendant
was unprepared for trial. Wisniewski is a prominent Polish politician in Chi
cago and is declared to have a large majority of the Polish vote In the left pocket of his Sunday vest. He was clerk of the South Chicago police court up to Dec. 3 last, when the municipal
court superseded the old Justice court system.

IN DEFENSE OF WEINLAND. Eurnham. 111., April 12, 1907. Dear Sir: As a reader of your paper I will say that I read your interview with Mr.
Mills, candidate for president on the
so-called citizen's ticket of this town, and was very much interested in it on account of the light they have thrown on a subject which is naturally of vital interest to all people of this town.
I can only say in regard to Mr. AVeinland he is a perfect gentleman and a man of sober sense and good judgment and has always treated his opponents as such. But they don't seem to appreciate that fact. If they did they would have acted differently. It seems that Mr. Beales, candidate for justice of the peace on the citizen's ticket filed an objection with the town clerk claiming that Mr. AVeinland and three others on his ticket were unqualified to hold office on the grounds that they had not lived here long enough. Mr. AVeinland and his three candidates were notified to attend a meeting to be held at the school house on the night of the eleventh of this month and explain. But in the meantime Mr. Mills' council (Mr. Bebbs of South Chicago, I believe) informed him that such an act was childish and of no possible avail and also informed them that they were wrong. So at the meeting last night they withdrew their objection without having judgment passed on it at all. In truth this was brought about more by Mr. AVeinland than by anyone else. He informed them of the fact that he had an objection to their ticket, which if acted upon, would cause their whole ticket to be thrown out. This, I guess,
brought them to their senses, and they
u-ithdrpw. Mr. AVeinland also said that
he hesitated to do justified if they
methods. For his part he would much rather wait until election day and let the voters of Burnham decide the matter. I know personally that Mr. "Weinland has it in his power to do Just as he said, but does not like to resort to that kind of politics. Mr. Beals says Mr. Burnham was laboring under the delusion that the objection would scare Mr. AVeinland and make him resign. Then there would be a fusion ticket and he would be placed at the head of it. Mr. AVeinland is not only qualiSed to hold office of president, but he is competent. In the first place Mr. Mills has not the time to give to the work as he is employed ten hours a day as a moulder in the AVestern Steel Car & Foundry company. And in the second place even if he had the time he is not in a position to help the town. On the other hand Mr. AVeinland is a young man, a very ambitious man, and
a deep thinker, a man wno win see at
once what should be done and, better
yet, will go ahead and do it in spite of obstacles. If it comes to a question of which
man can benefit the town the most we
will leave it to all men who know the
two candidates. Mr. AVeinland is a man who has nothing else to think of, nothing else to strive for but the welfare of the town. This I think you will find Is the sentiment of nine out of ten of the thinking people of Burnham. As to the citizens' ticket I firmly believe they are backed by the Chicago and Calumet Canal and Dock company, who have been opposed to, first, the Incorporation of the town, and now to a candidate for president who will make them come to time and will not allow himself to be fooled by them. I can only say that I hope the town will always have as competent and good a man as Joseph AV. AVeinland to occupy the office of president of Burnham. At the very last he will never resort to any under hand methods or mud throwiRg. I am yours. A. AV. HUNTER.
MAIL BROADENED HIS VIEW.
Sporting Extrn of LAKE COUNTY TIMES on the street five minutes after kmbu IUx final result.
Effect of Confederate Letters on Gen. Lew Wallace. How the opening of a mall bag full of captured confederate letters appealed to Gen. Lew Wallace, and gave him a new Insight Into the feelings and motives of his opponents, is one of the occurrences narrated In his "Autobiography," as follows: "After dinner, a soldier brought in a bag tied, not locked. 'Mail,' he said, 'just found.' I had him cut the string and empty the contents upon a table They were letters unopened; the car rier had doubtless delivered then then fled. I gave them to an officer for examination. Along towards evening he reported: 'There 13 nothing here of military importance. But' his voice softened 'look of these. My mother might have written them to me. There are the same prayers la them for their side which we hear for our side prayers, too, to the same God. I would like to know what you think of them.' And I replied, after
having gone through them: 'I acknowledge myself wiser of a new lesson. The people of the south believe they have a cause; and certainly every one of them who is in the field soldiering for that cause must be respected; he may be misguided, but he must be honest. From that hour I have not ceased to act upon that principle." Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
Truth About Lie-Tea. Nothing of tea leaves is wasted by the Chinese, the Scientific American tells us. They may be dried and pressed into tricks to be used as fuel In curing pork. The ashes of the fuel are U3ed as fertilizers. At other times the spent leaves are stewed, or allowed to stand a long time in water to extract the tannin, which is used ia making leather and for dye. Sometimes tpve old leaves are used for fodder, or they may be mixed with neir leaves to form what is known as "lie-tea,"
