Now It ls “the Holmes agalust the mayor.” Not so much of a change after all. Everybody le favited to attend the grand opening at Eiseman, Rodda & Co.’s People’s store Wednesday and Thuraday B. E. Rettig has bought a half intorest in the barber shop of Jake Schmidt, Ne. 720 Broadway. The new firm will be known as Schmldt & Rettig. The salary of Charlic Walters as chief of the fire department, Is not to be paid ontil the cases now pendlng In court for dotermining who is really chief are de- cided. The funeral of John Raln was held yesterday and was largely attended. He had many friends and acqualntances here and the relatives are not alone In thelr BOTTOW. Bowman eeems to be at least two ahead on the convention call. There are at least two names published as respon- eible for the call, while the mayor’s call does not bear’a single one. Col. C. R. Scott has decided to move to Omahs. He has lived here for many years, and has gained a prominent place o at the bar, and will have no difficulty in wioning a like position across the river. A new brldge is te be put in across the new ditch at Eighth avenue. The work will commence just as soonas the rail- way track, which now is In the way of the piling, can be moved a few feet and ralsed. Yesterday afternoon Dr. L. H. Graddy, of Omaha, assisted by Dr. Macrae, of this clty, performed a dellcate operation, by which Mrs. James Cralg’s right eye was removed, this being deemed neces- sary to save the other eye. Dr. Thomas, of Carson, while duly grateful to the frlends who have been urging his name for representative on the republican tlcket, declines to have any such honors thrust upon him, and asks them to look elsewhere for a candldate, Colonel Dally’s fast little mare, Mattle Harle, Is to be at Lincoln this week and will doubtless win honors and money. She /s certainly a wonderful animal, and is such a favorite in this part of the country that her career ls watched with wuch Interest. The lighting of the streets is to con- tinue untll the next monthly meeting of the councll, by which time it Is expected that the committee will have galned such tnformation as to what other cltles are paylng for gas, as will enable the making of a new and better contract with the compsny. t The larceny case {b which Howard and Does, of Sloux City, bave been arrested at the instance of Mrs, Grimmelman, promises to come up in & new phase, she having commenced & clvil actlon In the district court sgalnst Doss, clalming damsges to the extent of $10,000 for the unlawful retention of her personal prop- erty. The msyor now thinks the clty attor- ney is not much of a lawyer anyway. If the attorney wants to be a great lawyer, he should at once urge the coancll to pay the mayor the amount clalmed for jus- tice fees in the poll tax cases. This would demonstrate the fact that the mayor 1s mistaken, _H. A. Gleaon, on golog home Monday night, found s riderless horse running about loose on Glen avenue. The horss had evidently been rliden hard, and yesterday morning, the same horase still belog rambling about In the nelghbor- hood, Mr. Gleason took the horse to Whoeler & Benoett's stable to there awalt the coming of the owner, Masson Long, the reformed gambler, proves to be an entertalning street talk er, and has toms good alngers to interest the crowd while he rests, or takes up the collection.

He was one of the ‘‘Two Jakes,” the barbers, The attention of the authoritles Is ealled to the sidewalk cn High School avenue, between Glen avenue and Park avenue. It Is In a dangerous condition, and thote who have occaslon to travel over It are complalning bitterly, and there seems to be stlll greater danger to the many school children who pass that way, for by the least ¢l(p & child Ia liable to go tumbling down a depth of fifteen to elghteen feet, There should be a ralling put along there so as to avold accidents, for the children coming along playfully running and rollicking are in great dan- ger, while any one golng along late at ulght In the dark, though older, is llable to be badly hurt by a silght misstep. A few dollars might save the clty some heavy damsges, and might save others much paln, and perhaps death. e — De. Wiler, Eye, Fsr and Throat pecialist, Room b, Eve. ett biock, e e— Bids Wanted.

PROSECUTING DRUGGISTS, Another Effort to Enforce the Pro- hibitory Law, and a Decision Rendered, One of the biggest loopholes In the pro- hibltory law is the pharmacy law, by which drugglsts may get permits to sell intoxleating llquors for ‘‘mechanical, medlcal, cullnary and sacramental” pur- poses, The law is full of little require- ments, however, In regard to the drug- glsts, and the prohibitionlsts have been watohing for chances to_catch some of the violators. In Des Molnes recently complaints were filad agalnst & number of prominent drogglsts by clalming that they had not filed thel monthly reports according to law. The law as It now reads requires that such re- ports shall be filed within five days after the last Saturday of each month, and it seems that some of these gentlemen had made a miscount of the days. The cases were of considerableinterest to others than those directly in Interest and the decislon was awalted with some considerable anxiety. They came on trial before Judge Given yesierday who ruled upon them rather to the detrlment of the informer. He stated In substance that {n the ab- sence of any ruling of the supreme court he should have held the former law, re- quiring the report to bo filed on the last Satarday of each month, as belng manda- tory, and withont such rallng from the superior court he should rule that the last law, adding five days to the time of filing, was msnda- ry. But the superior court had sald that the former law was but directory and as he could see no material change made by the addltion of five days to the time he shouldalso rulethe last law as slmply directory, and that a complalnt must at least allege a fallure to file with- in a reasonable time after the date fixed. The case was closely followed throughout and varlous oplnfons were expressed upon the ruling as Is usoally the case. The matter as It now stands will glve tha drugglet of the state a wide latitude in the line of making out thelr reports and the decsion will be halled with joy by them at least, Exceptlons were promptly filed by the prosecation to the raling and the case will be carrled to the supreme court. —— .

It seems that a large number of those who had not pald their poll tax had been sued by the city, and In many of these ocases judgments were obtained, but no money was secured. The mayor now wants to have the clty pay him his fees In these oases, An Investigation showed that at the time of these cases, Mr. F. M. Hun- ter was acting as clty attorney In collect- Ing these delinquent poll taxes, and that he made an arrangement with Justice Vaughan by which the latter was not to charge any costs to the clty, but was to content himself with such money as he could collect of those who pald. A good many did pay Incash, and the juatice got the benefit of theme costs, but thls does not seem to satlsfy him, and he now wants the city to pay costs in cases where no collection has been made from the party sued. The mayor admits that such an arrangement as Mr. Hunter states was made, but clalms that it only applled to the first ten cases brought by the eity. Mr. Hunter has filed an affidavit, however, clalming that this arrangement was made in all the cas If Vaughan did not succeed in collecting the money, he was to have no fees. Other testimony has been secured pointing to the same state of facts. So it seems that the mayor's attempt to get a fresh allowance out of the clty treasury will fall, The revelation does not add any to Vaughan’s record as a justice, and cer- talnly not anything to his record as a mayor. [t seems very queer for a justics of the peace to enter into any arrange- ment by whioh his decliion of a csse brought before him 1s to hs blased by the temptation to 8o declde as to secure his foes, Suppose a man of responsibllity was sued before him for poll tax, and set up some defonse. The justice presiding having mado arrangement to the effect that if he did not render a julgment against the man he world not get any costs, and that if he did he would make meveral dollars, would he be inclined to lean In favor of glving the jaodgment? He would be more than human {f he was not inflaenced to some extent by such an arrangement, The mayor {s known to be human enough to be Influenced by slight causes some- timee, and such an arrangement, by which a justice of the peace |s made a collector merely for the clty, his pay to depend on his so decidiog the cases as to favor the clty, mskes a farco of the courts. Suppose the judge on the dla- trlot bench should make an arrangsment by which ho wes to recelve a certaln amount of money for every cass ho should declde in favor of the city, what would be thought of the arrangement? The mayor has entered up these jadg- ments on his docket, aud he makes the threat that if the city does not allow hlm his fees he wlll certify these up, and have them as liens againat the real estate of the citlzens, or will {ssue executions, and cause tromble that way. He fs bound to have his fees. He says that In many of theee cases the parties sgainst whom these judgments have been obtaiued really did not owe for poll tax, but that they let the cases go by defaalt. It docs not appear that the councll will be scared into pay- ing a bill under threats of troubling some one else, but the mayor has been glven a little more time to present far- ther proof of the justice of his clalm 1f he has any. Ivseems as if the justice should mot have rendered an unjust judgment against a cltizen, not knowingly, and if so he ought not to expect the city to come i and pay him for dolng so. If, on the other hand, the judgments are honest and true, then the persons sgairs: whom the judgments were obtatned should pay them and the costs, The whole affalr glves a new Ineight into the queer ways In which the justice shops are run, THE TEXAS FEVER, Intormations Filed and Buits Com- menced Under the Law, —_— The Texas fever has made such rav- ages in this county that an attempt Is now to be made to eecure the punish- ment of those who are responsible for the Introduction of the disease. Yester- day ’8quire Giddins and others whobave lost cattle ccmmenced rults agalnst Henry Telnkeln snd John Ball, it belng clalmed that they were the ones who brought the Texas cattle into this country. An Informatlon wa® aleo filed charging them with violating the Iaw in the matter. It Is understood that In Harrison county an {nd!ctment has been found against thess ssme parties, and that several sults have been com- menced there also. The Texas fever has attracted so much attentlon, and there have been £o many queries as to what the law Is In regard to I, that the following sections of the code are quoted: ¢ Sec, 4058—If any person bring into this state any Texans cattle, he shall be fined not exceeding one thousand dollars, or imprisoned in the county jail not exceeding thirty days, unless they have been wintered at loast one winter north of the southern boundary of the states of Missourl or Kaneas; provided, that nothiog herein contained ehall be construed to prevent or make unlawful the transporta- of any such cattle through the state on railways, or to prohibit the driving through this state, or haviog in possession any Texas cattle between the tirst day of November and st day of April following. Sec, 4059 If any person now or hereafter hasin his possession in this state any such Texas cattle, he shall be Liable for any dam- ages that may accrue from allowing said cattle at large, and thereby spreading the among other cattle known as Texas fever, and shall be punished as is prescribed in the preceding eection, ———— MAKRRIED, Suira-Evans —In Kansas Oity, September 15, , Mr, George L.
