SQUEEZING THE DEAE PEOPLE
Captain Swing-ley, U. P. tax
was in the city last week to
look into the matter of the
taxes wrongfully collected for
the bridge fund, but in reality lev
ted so as to have more money to
spend in the general fund. It was
found that $17,000 had been turned

over from the bridg-e fund to the
general fund, with about S4.000 in
the treasury yet to turn over, mak
ing over $21,000 that the reformers
have wrongfully wrung from the
taxpayers of the county. It is rea
sonable to ask for what purpose,
since we have had no county build
ings to erect, no unusual expenses
except those made by the reformers
themselves. For your answer we
would say. look at the bills filed
and allowed by the county commis
sioners. Thousands of dollars for
county printing-, thousands for
, lieriif'o fees, county physician and
or four times
more than under lormer manage
ment. Twenty-one thousand dol
lars would buy a wagon load of
groceries for every family in the
county. Twenty-one thousand dol
lars wou'd give every family in the
count" eight dollars in cash quite
a Christmas present. Yet our
precious reformers need more
j money to spend so bad that they
are distressing- the people.
The following" poem was received
j tor publication; it shows that dis
( tress warrants are some times very
distressing", indeed.
Her hands were hard, his form was bent
The children to bed had all been sent.
Then spoke the wife with voice so sweet.
Our children need shoes on their little feet.
His form was bent but his heart was right.
I'll start to.morrow before daylight."
The wagon was loaded with India wheat.
To clothe his family from head to feet.
On his joyful errand he was nearing town.
"When a brave --reformer" called him down.
"See here,, old man. you have been too lax.
Til take that load to pay your tax."
His form was bent, his heart was broke.
By the tax-collector's cruel stroke.
The mother sings while the children play
Till father came home that stormy day.

The Tribune has no desire to
boom" any particular man or any
set of men, nor to publish any mat
ter of a disparaging- nature to any
one, but it has been claimed that
the recent allusion to Dr. Bedell
made in these columns was incor
rect. In order to be fair with ail
in this matter, the finding of the
board of health, as published in the
Western Medical Review, is hereto
attached:
-At the meeting of the board on December
i the charges made against Dr. Chas. V. Be
dell were heard. The findings of the Board
were: 'That a certificate was granted to him
in ISM: that his association with Howard
Paul, a man who was not even a medical
student, were of such an equivocal nature as
to be misleading, and that Bedell is deserv
ing of censure for such misleading ass ia
tion." The board further found -that the
charge of unprofessional and dishonorable
conduct in the case of Mrs. Carth is abund
antly proven by testimony presented, and it
is the sense of this board that the attempt to
demand a large fee from a poor man on the
ground of a stated emergency, which all the
evidence shows did not exist, is so far re
moved from the ordinary, honorable and
humane course pursued by physicians every r
where as to merit the contempt of the pub
lic Further, that a continuation of such
practice should be considered sufficient
cause for further repressive action by the
hoard." The board took up the other speci
fications, one by one. but concluded the evi
dence did not justify revocation of certifi
cate, but did merit censure.

SetH Broderick was arrested
Saturday morning on a charge of
disturbing the peace, preferred by
Mrs. Dolson and Mrs. F. W. Crane.
He was arraigned before Police
Judge Davis, and asked for a con
tinuance of the case until 5 o'clock,
which was granted. Meantime the
matter was settled with the parties
