Tho delegates wcro In structed 'by resolutions ndoptcd by tho unanimous voto of tho convention to uso nil honorablo means to sosuro tho nomlna tlon of tho Council lllurfa candidate. Tho result of tho Mills county convention Is another soro disappointment to cx-Congrc83 man linger and his friends, as ho had made his strongest light In that county. And now thnt ho has failed to Becuro oven a part of tho delegation, it is understood that ho will withdraw from tho race.

Fifteen members of tho committco man constitute a Quorum. 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.

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. Morphine KIIIn llnrry Mitrtlntlnle.
