The water works company ls laying its malns along lower Broadway. The Round Table mects this even- ing at the resldence of Mr. Hark- ness. Permit to wed was yestorday glven Charles Elson, of Harlan, and Ella Edwarde, of Missourl Valley, Mr, Ooleman, one of the employes of the Bosten tea store, Is now the happy fether of abouncing boy. Justice Schurz yesterdsy made Charles Eastman and Ella Edwards, of Missourl Valley, husband and wife, There were four corpses which came in over the Union Paclfic and went out over the O, B, & Q, Sunday night, Branch No, 234, Catholic Knlghts of Amerlca, are to give a grand quad- rille party at Dohany's next Thursday evening. The case agalnst August Dougherty for steallng a heifer, was before Jus- tice Vaughan yesterday, and was con- tinued until the 20th, It will take some time to repalr all the cros and streots, where the recent rains have made little washonts. A little patlence and a good deal of hard work {s necessary. Phil. Katzomeyer, the foreman of The Herald cflice, now gracefully ae- sumes the joysand cares of a patornal, the new comer belng a bright glrl baby. There will be a large delogation starting from here Thursday morning to attend the Swagerfest at St. Jo- seph. They are looking forward to a merry time Indeed. The east and west met yeaterday and got » marriage license, the names of the h-pgy ones belng Fred C. Doan, of Philadelphla, and Ella M. Harbert, of Los Angelos, Callfornis. Manholes along Broadway atill ornamented by pumps, the not being out of all the cellars yet, but still the dumages resulting from the flood seem to shrink more and more u;he facts are more closely consld- ered, Attend the rellef featlval at Doha- ny's to-nlght by all means, An op vortunity is given to get one's n onay back In having a good time, as well as knowlng that the money will go whore it will do the most good, Examinations In the public schools of the city begin thls week, and con- tloue fnto next week, The commence- ment exerclaos are to be held in Do- hany's hall on the evening of tho 21st, Baylisa' park is more beautifal than ever, when the sun & out long enough to dry {t. Sunday afternoon and evening there was a rush there, there not being benches enough for half those who sought comfort and rest there. The Rescue steamer left for the Waterloo tournament yosterday. In a trial yesterday it threw a stream up 225 foet, 21 feet farthor than any oth- er trial. It bids falr to take a cake at the tournament. The Bluff Olty run- ning team start this moraing, Jallor Schontz has agaln thwarted a shrewd attempt ot | break. The prisoners had got a saw, and ont off one of the iron bars of a wiudow, and with this as a pry would soon have forced thelr way out, had not the vigllant eye of the officer balked thelr plane. James Smith was before Justice hi yesterday for threatening to kill his wife. Ho says she threstened him, and aggravated him so that he pulled & gun on her. He was held in bonds to appear at the next term of the distriot court. It is all well enough for the police- man of Bayllss' park to be vigilant, and it is not to bs wondered at that he gets his patience tried sorely when |, a careless fellow drags a settee across the green turf, but he should not so far forget himself as to shout out cuss words, especlally in the hearing of ladles, who have taken thelr children to the park for a quiet rest. Officers of the law should be as cautious with thelr tongues as they want othors to be with the banches and grass, A. H. Mayne & Co., the wide awake coal men, are arranging for a yardand office on Broadway, about opposite The Nonparell office. Thelr new ctlice Is now beiog ballt, and {s a one-story brick, with about 28 feet front and 256 foet In depth. It will be one of the neatest cflices and oune of the most | convenlent yards in the city. The firm will move about the first of July, taking possession of thelr new quar- | Mitti ters, to wkich a prosperous and In- creasing business entitles them, The second Splritaal soclety was or- ganized last Sunday at Planter's hall, where they will continue meetings every Sunday. Mre. Eggleson and Mrs. Morton, both trance apeakers and test-mediums, spoke entranced to the audlence, and by describing de- ed friends and relatives and con- itions In the splrit world, gave ex- oellent _eatisfaction to the congrega. | M tlon, Dr Poulson delivered ihe in- augural addreas, and lectured for one hour, having for subject: “If they hear not Moses and the prophets, nelther will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead,” Sl ot i Lol The CAUGHEY HOUSE on Broad- way ls one of the best hotels of its slze In the west.

How It Costs to Try Innocent Souls, A Double O'og Dance Over the Justices’ Bills. The County Kicks and 8¢ Do the Justizes One of the most unsatisfactory pleces of work for the county board to per- form s the auditing and allowlng the fee bllls of justices, constables, etc. On the one hand the board seeme to take 1t for granted that all the feen possible will be taxed up, and seems determined to cut down the bills any- way, no matter what they call for, On the other hand, those who present the bills seem to be equally firm In the bo- Hef that the county board will eut off about so much anyway, and o put i enough fees and charces to allow for this, At the soesion of the board just closed, there was much cutting and slashing of these fee bills, Some protty hot feellng has been caused among the clalmants, especially be- cause the county attorney, after the adjournment of the board, is said to have cnt down the blils stlll further. Tue Bke ts not an auditing board to determine as to the justice or Injustice of these bills and their cutting down, but in look- ing over some of the officlal reports, a fow facts were gleaned which wili prove of Interest, especlally to thore who have little ides of how much of a loxary law ls, These bllls are of course for orlm- inal cases, the civil business being the justices’ pecullarly private matter. One thing that strikes anyone who looks over the bills presented by the justices not only of the clty, but of the county, is the small percentage of conviotions, Either the cfficers make some very foolish arrests, or else proseoutlng witnosses aro given to horrible lying, or else the law Is fall of loop-holes, A few figures to {llustrate: The report of one justice shows that out cf 38 arrests only 12 were fined, bound over, cr gave bonds to keep the peace, the other 26 belng dlscharged, or the oases dismissed without trial. An- other report shows that out of elghteen cases there was only one convlotion, and still another that eut o’ 22 arrosts all bu’ 8 were discharged or the cases dismlssed, What does it cost to try a case? As one instance out of hundreds, the fees allowed by law belog not above aa or- dinary bill. THE BEE selects the fol- lowing, 1t not being an extreme caso, but a eimple drunk, and he not found guilty, but discharged. 'This s what it coats the county: JUSTICE FERS, Docketing qase 50 Informntion, 50 Warraut.... £0 Trinl, one day. 100 Continuances, two 100 Mittimug,. ... v Ocder to produce prisoner. Dischargo. 1 Total... CONSTABLE'S ¥ Serving warrant $ 75 Milenge. 20 Servin, 1 50 Attendance, one 100 Order to produce prisoner b0 Commitment For the state, two... Forthe defendant, four. Justices’ fees. . Constables’ foes Witnesses fees. 813 05 This makes It a pretty expensive drunk tor the county when the case is brought unde: the state law. In the police court tho fees are $4.60, so that if a man gets dronk and wants to pay oash for fine and costs, he can save money by patronizing the police court. Another sample ocaso shows what & luxury law is. It s a case brought before a justice, and dis- missed on the motion of the county sttorney himself. The following ls the bill: JUSTICES' FEES, Docketing case. 50 Ioformatio 50 50 100 50 $3 bl Still another case in which the nu‘~ cused was bound over to keep the peace, JUSTICES VEES, Docketing case Information. 388 % Recommitmen Release . Transcript Stationery of t qulred Into before costs were plled ou the county for nothing., In many of these cases the blame falls on the at- torneys, who to please clionts cauao in- formations to be filed, which are al- lowed to drop after the mad iagone or the case financlally settled, while the connty is left to bear the expense, Some of the justices complaln that bllls for cazes In which the accused fe not found ware entirely disallowed, they thus getting nothing for the trou. ble, when it wae no faultof thelrs that the cflicers did not find the men, In other casea the jastice’s fee for ahear- Ing of the osse has been dissllowed, because no witnesses wore heard, when the fact was that the justice had to ait and listen to lengthy arguments on motlons made by attorneys, for which they certainly should be pald more llberally than for hearing testi- mony, Of course the law allows the justicos cortaln fees, and they belng homan, naturally want all the law allows; but, as will be seen in some oanee, It counts up pretty heavily for tho county, consldering the foew who are ever convloted, and the ¥mall per. centage (ovon of those) who ever pay Apy costs or fines into the treasury, sl PUTZ POMADE.
