A trial solici! e — WHITTLING WITNESSES. A (General Slash Made on Their Fees by the County Board, All Due to a Late Decision of the Su- preme Court. There is usually some new freak taken in the allowance of bills by the county board. The one this session is in regard to the foes of witnessos for tho defense, which have heretofore been always allow- ed the same as the fees of witnesses for the state. A recent dedision of the su. preme court lays down the rule as the same as in the district court, the fees to be allowed for witnesses for the defepse only when the allowances of these wit- nesses was apecially ordered by the court itself. This decision has led the board to throw out all_claims for witnos fees, not thus ordered, and as the justices have made no special orders of the sort, all such foes in the supreme court and in justices' courts in the county dur- ing the past four months are thrown out. This will naturally make a howl among many who expected to got fees, and it is estimated that it will be a saving to the county of over 81,000. After this the justices will probably be sharp enough to order the attendance and payment of witnesses for the de- fendant in criminal cases, so that the foes may bo allowed, but this order can- J.

Hamilton, of Neola, was at Bech: telo's yestorday. not be made to cover the fees of the pat fow months, as such ‘order must be made beforo the serving of . the sub- ponas, It is also claimed under this decision that the officers cannot be al- lowed fees for | serving these papers un- less the needed order is firat entered wp by the justice. Thero will be_consider- able music along the line, and in many cases it seems quite a hardship, as wit- Simon Hiseman has gone to Sioux Falls for » fow days’ business trip. T, J.

Keatley, after visiting her friends here for o week past, returned yesterday to her Omaha home. Charles B. Jacquergin has left for Helena, Montana, where a branch house is established. The Council Bluffffs house will remain in charge of Mr. L. Jacquomin and Mr. George Gerner, George Cooper, the colored gentleman who sells Tur Ber on all the morning dummy tralns was giving the fancy skaters some been received from the east that several . more dynamos will 'be shipped in a few days for this point, so that the number of lights can be increasad. There is the promise of a lively sensa- tion at Little Sioux within a fow days,as & Council Bluffs detective has unearthed a gang of horsethieves there, has secured threee horses, twenty head of cattle and sevaral hogs, and it is expected will get hold of some more stolen stock within a few days, when a number of arrests are expected to be made. It is surmised that some surprise will be felt in that community when all the facts come to the surface. ““Comanche Bill,” or William Lloyd, is still behind the bars, being arrested on suspicion. He claims that he has been in Hamburg ever since Christmas until he arrived in this city and was arrested. BSome Macedonia men claim he was there a few days before the safe-blowing, and think he was perhaps concerued in that. Bill is naturally getting uneasy, and the authorities cannot hold him much longer unless they get some proof that amounts to something, A Already there begins the talk about how the vote will be on building & new court house and jail. The talk thus far is very favorable, and many predict that the enterprise will be approved by the «people. They begin to realize how in- secure the records and public documents are in the present cracked and broken structure, and how little of a burden it would be on the individual to pay his share inthe expense of putting up a building which would safely house the records and be & credit to so prosperous a county, C. B, West, general agent of the C,, B. & Q., in this city, has resigned his position. He is to be succeeded by Charles Keith, who has been the local agent of the company here. Mr, West has only been here about a year, but has gained a strong hold on the esteem of those with whom he has come in con- taot both in social and business circles, +and many ‘well wishes will go with him into whatever position he may enter, His successor, Mr. Keith, is well known and well liked. Heis ranked as an ox- cellent railway man, thoroughly experi- -enced, active and able, He will con. finve to attend to the duties of land @gont us well at those of general agent for the paesent. W. B, Vaughan, though added to the «omzittee on the sale of opera house tickets at a late hour, has been doing his usual rustling. He has a novel way of canvassing. He turned the telophone erauk, rung up Superintendent Drake of the Omaha Exchange, and told him in behalf of the commlttee that he ought o take some tickets. After & brief chat over the wire Superintendent Drake con- «eluded that the company would u-m‘ points yesterday on the fce.

Harry Curtis, of New York, to Take the Buperintendency of the Couucil Bluffs Y. M, . A. Tae Bee recently chronicled the fact that. Harry Curtis, of New York City, had been invited to come to Council Bluffs as the superintendent of the Y. M. C. A. Yesterday Dr. Montgomery recoived a lottor from Mr. Curtis stating that he would accept the call, and was making arrangementa to come at once to this city. He would first visit his folks in Pennsylaania, and expected to reach this city about the 26th of this month. Mr, Curtis has been assistant secretary of the Harlan Y. M. O. A., and has not only experience in the work, but natural fitness for it. He is very highly recom- mended, and will doubtless cause the Council Bluffs organization to prosperand grow under his management. e — Private lessons on china given by 8. D. Rehse. Studio No, 12 N.

PROFESSIONAL JURORS. A Big Orop of Them Seems Ripening in This County—The Reasons Therefor, It is becoming quite noticeable that certain men seem to be either specially adapted for jury men or specially pro- vided by kind providence with a pretty steady job in that line. At every time of command there are several farces fam- iliar to those who attend court, and which aro almost always to be seen beaming from the jury box, either as belonging to the regular panel or some special one. A little inquiry made by Tur Ber re- vealed tho fact that tho judges of election send in with their returns the names of persons in their precinct who are to be sent as jurors, the number being in ac- cordance with'|the population as appor- tioned by the auditor, Three names are then copied on separate bits of cardboard, placed in a wheel, and then from these the grand and petit juries are drawn. There are from all the county about 275 names thus put into the box for petit juries for the year, -and out of these there are drawn during the year 96 names. For the grand jury there are abeut 160 names from which fifteen are drawn. One trou- ble seems to be that the judges of elec- tion in making their returns are be- sieged by chronic jurymen who want their names sent in, and their importu- nities are yielded to, and their names sent in, are sent in year after year, and the own- ers ot the names servo term after term. Then there are other chances for serv- ico. Some who serve on the regular panel are excused, and specials called to sit in their places, and many of those who arc anxious to earn a dollar or two thus worm in The jury box is fast get- ting to be an asylum for good honest sort of souls, who have little olse to do, or who are able to do little else. Among busy men the jury duty is irksome and can only be performed by a sacrifice, and perhaps this is one reason why they ovade it when possible, and let the im- portant duties drop into the hands of professionals. Jury The circuit court meets February 11, Judge Lyman presiding. The following are the jurymen selected: Enos Reed, Center township; E. G. Sears, W. F. Lyons, C. S, Hubbard, B, F.
