Tho "reform" committee, of which At
torney James McCabo and J. E. F. McGco
and W. W. Wallaco aro tho leading spirits,
Is desirous of extending lta scope and mem
bership nnd notice was given from tho pul
pltH of mcot of tho churches In tho city
yesterday morning that a mass meeting
would bo held Thursday evening of thla
weok In tho First Presbyterian church. An
Invitation was extended to all church mem
bers and others Interested In tho moral wel
fare of tho city to bo prcwent and take part
In tho proceedings.
Tho closing ot the thrco gambling houses
hns not satisfied tho committco that gam
bling Is a thing of tho past In Council
Muffs, nnd it has coma to the conclusion
that It hut considerable work ahead of it
yet to perform. No Htepa have been taken
by tho authorities to supprcre tho slot ma
chines, and it Is generally understood that
any person being denlrotitt of gambling can
find a "quiet" gnmo of ulniout nny kind
In tha city.
Tho purpeso of tho meeting Thursday
night, ns explained by Attorney McCabe, Is
to effect a wider organization, bo as to
embrace all tho churches of tho city and
Include all citizens who hcltovo In reform.
Commlttecn will bo appointed nnd their
duties defined and a course of action laid
out for them. Said Mr. McCabo: "The
object of our organization, which wo now
dcslro to widen, Is to suppress gambling In
nil its features. Wo do not Intend to go
nftcr tho gamblers themselves, unices wo
aro compelled to. Wo Intend that the city
nnd county authorities shall perform their
duty and enforce tho laws, Of course, If
thejo omclals still refuse, after being
warned, to enforce tho law and suppress
gambling In tho city, why, then wo ohall
first turn our attention to tho ofllclnls them-
selves nnd after wo havo dealt with them
wo shall then look nfter tho gamblers. We
shall take no proceedings against the gam
blers directly, however, until wo havo ex
hausted every means to compel tho nuthorl
lite, both city and county, to perform their
duty according to tho strict letter of tho
law."
Asked if tho commltteo intended to pay
lta respects to tho saloons and enforce tho
mulct law, Mr. McCabo said: "Our com
mlttee, as far as I know,- has never even
dlscutwd tho question of the saloons, but
of course I cannot tell what tho committee
may decldo to do after tho meeting next
Thursday night."
Tho commltteo failed to wait on County
Attorney KlllpacU Saturday. Mr. Klllpack
says ho still stands ready to prosecute
when Informatlomi nro filed, but ho has
no Intention of taking up tho business of
a professional prosecuting witness. It was
not for that, ho says, that the peoplo cf
I'ottawattnmlo county elected him to tho
olhco of county attorney.
Mayor Jennings has declared that tho
slot machines which pay cawh and not In
trndo will havo to go. In fact, ho Issued
an order to this ellect several weeks ago.
but It hns not been obeyed, and the police
forco hn.s taken no steps to sco that tho
mayor's order waa enforced. Within tho
Inst month or so slot machines have multi-
piled In this city, so that now there Is
scarcely a saloon or cigar store that has
left i than thrco ot them running in full
blast.
Ill connection with tho reform movement
Btnrted by McCnbo's committee, there aro a
number of citizens who bollevo that it should
not stop until tho saloons aro compelled to
close, nt least at 12 o'clock at night and all
day on Sundays. SImo favor closing the sa
loons every night nt 10 o'clock, as they do In
Des Moines, whilst others favor letting tho
salcons run wldo open nil night nnd nil day,
Sundays Included. Many ot tho old-tlmo
citizens do not placo much stock In tho re
form movement, having ewen so mnny
started, only to dlo down again after a few
months. They ray tho present movement
will dlo a natural death beforo many moons
and that tho city will bo run wldo open
again as beforo. This members of tho "ro-
form" committco deny. They say their or
ganization Is permanent and built on n solid
foundation and that any attempt to-run tho
city wide open ngaln will be met with a re
newal of tho agitation and probablo Im
peachment ot tho authorities responsible tor
enforcement ot tho laws.

ANAMOSA, la., April 29. (Special.)
After twenty-two years' confinement within
tho wallH of tho penitentiary In this city,
Cornelius Moclchcn is onco more enjoying
tho nlr of freedom. Tho case of Moelchen
la entirely without parallel In tho annals
of Iowa criminal affnlrs.
In the year 1S77 Cornelius Moelchen ar
rived In America from Oermany and camo
directly to Dubuque county, this state, where
ho took up his residence with nn only rela
tive, an unclc John Moelchen, by name
who was supposed to bo pwocssod of moro
than an average shnro of this world's gocda,
Tho elder Moolchcn was a bachelor and
young Cornelius was his heir-at-law. Shortly
after tho arrival of Cornelius at the hemo
of hla undo tho latter was found with hlo
skull crushed and Uto extinct, the body
being suspended from tho stirrup ot aad
dlo girthed to a horso which he had ridden
away from homo only a short tlmo pre
vious. Tho drat imprcss'.on was that the
unfortunato mnn had lost his Hfo through
n runaway accident, but tho coroner's In
vestigation revealed tho strange fact that
tho dead mnn, when found, had his left foot
In tho right stirrup.
Other circumstances gradually developed
which led to tho conclusion thnt a murdor
had been committed and eusplclon was di
rected to young Moelchen. Ho wns found
cullty of murder In tho first degree, nnd
In tho soring of the year 1878 was com
mltted to the Anamosa penitentiary for
tho remainder of hla natural life. As a
prisoner his conduct wns most exemplary.
Finally, during tho session of tho last
general assembly, both branches of tho
assembly requested tho governor to grant
Moelchen executlvo clemency. And now,
nfter twenty-two years of servitude. In tho
evening of his life, with his hair silvered,
a etrnngor to the ways of tho world, and
prematurely old, Moelchen Is n free man.
Immediately upon receiving his dlschargo
Moelchen took tho train for Montezuma,
In., whero a friend haa undertaken to pro
vldo employment for him.
