WHERE JUSTICE RESIDES rs The Loungers in the Lobby, Official Financiers and Other Employes of the City and the Shire. the The Big House on the Hill The great stone structure up on Far- nam street, between Seventeenth and :lghlfleuth, oceupied by the officials of uglas county and known as the county building, is a busy hive of in- dustry from 9 o’clock in the morning antil 5 in the afternoon of every day in the week except Saturday. Numerous are the kinds and condi- tions of men who daily mount the long stone stairways which lead from the street to the main entrances of the building. There are three of -tho lat- ter, but the most used leads from Far- wam street to the north entrance. € Well - known lawyers who have grown gray in their profession and have earned by hard knocks and persevering toil alone the laurels they now wear; others of the same calling who, either through in- ability or lack of application, have lost the one opportunity and now as a con- gequence, can but earn a precarious o livelihood by doing the menial work of their profession; young, ambitious stu- dents fresh from the law offices, who in the county building behold an image of the capifol at Washington and per- chance the white house; mendicants seeking aid from the county, clerks of both sexes, men of business and men of idleness, loafers in fact, snd all sorts and conditions of m ), daily elimb those wearisome stairways into the great building. The courtrooms, naturally enough, are the primary attraction to the idle, aud more particularly is this true of Judge Groft’s room where the eriminal cases are heard, Many a r sibner has been sent out of that room to a life of penal servi- tude, amid the guplng ouriosity of the y morbid throng that daily gathers there, There are habitues of the place that become nearly as much a part of the vegular fixtures as the chairs, and whose absence, should they chance to miss & day, would probably not only be | .mentally noted by the bailiffs, but by the judge himself, in much the same manner that he would miss the clock from the wall. Upon cold and stormy days the room is filled with a motley crew of loungers who have no better lace to go. Hour in and hour out, rlua' listen, with more or less attention, to the cause being heard, but, as fer as their nee is concerned, it walkes but little difference whether the case is a murder trial or an action of the most . trivial importance. They are there just the same, evineing the greatest in- tercst and impartiality. Heve, every morving, during term time, the four judges of the distriet court, Judge L, A. Grofl, Judge L. $ Wakely, Judge M. R. Hopewell and 5 Judge G. W. Doane, sit while the jour- nal is read after which Judges Wakely, ” Hopewell and Doane go to their cha bers to hear tho casos assigued to them. o In Judfi(}rofl'o court, besides him- self may found ome of the ofticiul - | stenographers and Lewis Grebe and H. B. Hunt, bailiffs. The other court rooms are across the hall on the same floor. Judge Wakely has for his bailiff Henry Grebe, known about the build- ing as the ‘‘old man.” The other bail- iffs are John Norberg, 10 Judge Hope- well’s court, and Pat McQuillan, in Judge Doane’s. The official court stenographers are Bird C. Wakeiy, Cal C. Valentine, T. P. Wilson and A. M. Hopkins, all young men and rapid—that isas far as writing short hand is concerned. Upon the same floor, in front, is the office of Sheriff William Coburn, who before his election to his present office, was a olerk at the quartermaster’s depot. It is he who, every morning at 9:30 raises hisvoice in the district court room in the refrain, ““Hear ye! hear ye! The honorable district court is now open pursuanttoadjournment.” Around the sherifi’s office can generally be found his deputies, Dorsey B. Houck, IFrank Bandhauer and George Stryker. At the southern end of the building, will be found Frank Moores erk of the district court. He is the military looking gentleman, who reads the jour- nal in the district court room every morning. Before he wns clected to ofice last year upon the republican ticket, he was connected with the ‘Wabash railroad, He has for his as- sistant V. M. Mackey. deputy, Muvs. C. E. Perkins, stenographer, and Cbarles Mayne. fite clerk. Mr. Mackoy, the deputy, has been twelve years, anc quainted with eve ness. On this floor, also, will be found the office of the county auditor, which is presided over by J. H. Evans as auditor. So much for the third floor. Leaving it and going down one flight of stairs and turning to the left, the ofiice of the register of deeds will be found, and at the registers’s desk T. K. McGenth can be seon. Near him is W. R. English, his deputy, and in an adjoining room ave at least a dozen clerks. Many men and maidens, the same who may always be seen tripping up the stairs as the elock 1s on the point of striking nine. Not always strietly atténtive to duty arve these latter. The mischievous youngsters will chew gum, talk alittle and flirt a little, but, on the whole, they are sufficiently attentive to duty and acoomplish the tasks set be- fore them, In addition to clerks regu- larly employed in the oftice, there are othors sent there by abstractors to make transcripts of the records. Across the hall is the office of the county treasurer, Henry Bolln, who 1s now serving the county in that capacity for a second term, having been in office ahout four years. He is one of the few republican officials in the buildings. Associated with him in performing the duties of the offiee are John Groves, his deputy, and Wil- liam Schwariek,book-keeper and Henry Beckman, collector, Treasurer Bolin isn’t bothered much by loungers. Peo- ple are not prone to go there unless thev have to. Along the corridor on the same floor will be found the office of the patri archul James B, Bruuer, county su intendentof instruction. **A long title, saye he, ‘‘with a short salary.” But then he takes comfort in meditating upon the good he is doing, having nearly twenty-tive thousand children indirectly under his instruction, Mr, Bruner hus been in office six years and performs the duties aloue, having no assistants or clerks. Across the corridor can be found County Clerk M, P. Roche; elected to tho office two years 0 upon the democratic ticket. P Roche bas for his deputy J. C. , is well ac- ; detal 'of the busi- Guilfoil, and for his chief clérk Mr: M. Howe. Asfor neighbors, Mr. Roche has none less than the honorable board of county commissioners. Volumes might be writ- ten of this body. There are many of the elements of a circus about this branch of the county government. Their deliberations and doings and mis- doings furnish a never-failing source of news for the reporters. The board at present consists of W. J. Mount, chairman; Richard O’Keefe, L. M. Anderson, P. J. Corrigan and William R. Turner. The board meets in regular session ou Saturdays, and samples of oratory that flont about the room upon these occasions would put a Webster to blush. All is not harmonious in the hoard and sometimes the members will become somewhat emphatic in addressing each other, but this is soon forgotten when the session is over. At the clerk’s desk A. J. Webb will be found. Mr. Webb bas eccupied the position since January only, having sucoeeded Billy Moran, who, while clerk of the board, became insane, and is now in the asylum at Lincoln. Webb, in addition to being a clerk, is an artist of no mean ability, and devotes his lewsure time to making sketches of the idlers lounging about the room. **Whiskey Jack” was up there a few days ago and Webb drew his portrait. Jack pro- nounced the likeness all right and. the sketch now hangs in front of John Tay- lor’s desk, Johu Taylor, by the way something of a character in a qui kind of a wa He does piece work for the register of deeds and is one of the best copyists connected with that oftice. He has worked in the building for years nnd yeurs, and is known by everybody. i corner of the coun room, but the confusion turbs him not,as John is hard of hear- ing. He 1s forever complaining of a pain in hir chest or in his back, and to hear him talk one would think he had one foot mlready in the grave; but, you, if, in a"momeunt of ill-advised svity, you should undertake to be un- duly familisr with him, look out for John is loaded, and is one of the best B. nou-professional boxers in the eity, and loves n few impromptu rounds ms much as Jun Creigh- ton does Jefferson square. Clerk Webb knows all about it. The remaining rooms on this floor are oocupied by the county court, pre- sided over by his honor, Judge Shields. K. F. Moriarity fills the position of olerk of the court, William Shields is clerk of probate matter and Miss Li. Maud Busbea is official stenographer. Going down stairs into the basement, the first room on the right is occupled by City Comptroller C. S, Goodrich. Mr. Goodrich has been in office two years. Previous to his election he was engaged in the mercantile business in the city, J. K. Coulter is Mr, Good- rieh’s deputy and John, Fred and E. B. Alexander are the clerks, Back of the office are occupied by the' county sur- veyor, 1.7 Hawes, and his assistantants, George Smith, deputy, and M. S. Palmer, C. U, Page, John It. Graves and Ernest Bacon, On thig floor is City Clerk Southard’s office, and associated with him are found Harry G. Counsman, deputy clerk, and D. G. Burgess and E. C, —, assistauts Adjoining the city clerk’s office are the rooms of the city un“{llwuriug corps, At the engineer’s desk will be found George W. Tillson, who fills that office, and at the other desks are Alya J. the rooms Groves, assistant, George R. Cran- dall, Edward Donahue, Charles J. Carpeuter, Sayres Kuight, Thomas Shaw, W. J. McEathron, W C. NcEean, James Q. Snowden, Mat. thew Hughes, John Cowles and Char! Robertson. On this floor, too, is" the wcity treas- urer’s office. John Rush occupies the principal’s desk, F. B. Gridley and Charles F. Drexel are the deputies, Patrick Burke, B. J. Flannery and James Rush assistants, and Neal Ward copyist. Last of all is the department of county superintendent of the poor, presided over by John J. Mahoney, with F. P. Zimmer in charge of the drug department. Here comes the worthy and unworthy poor for provisions,” clothing and medicines. There have probably been more lies ro- corded from this room than from any other place in the city, as unscrupu- lous vagabonds do not pause atsuch a small obstacle as an untruth in order to obtain alms. The building is under the charge of Mike Lahey. the engineer, who is as- sisted in ceving for the building by Al- bert Sharp and Pat McDonough, the junitors, Such are the toilers of the county building. In some cases their work is varied and interesting; in others dry and_monotonous. For the most part hard and unceasingly, and they, it is, that make the great building on the hill thrum with activity during six days of every week 1n the year. 3 ————— ADDITIONAL SPORTING N s WS, The New Grounds Dedicated—A Fine Shoot Yesterday Afiernoon. The new gun club grounds across the river were formally dedicated yesterday after- noon by a grand sweepstakes race, 25 blue rocks, 10 yards rise, participated in by the members of the local and Council Bluffs clubs.

F, ‘Huff, of tuo Missouri Valley Wheel ciub, was a visitor st the club last week* A certain member of the Omaha Wheel club aye that if that black dog on the Coun- cil Bluffs bridge road don't stop taekling his colors, he will cither have 1o quit riding o the Bluffs or drive them aronnd some other way, The dog seemy to have a keen scent and always picks out the imported critter, George Howard, formerly of prominent will Omaha, snd ot rhseliog croite bl e manenly. Howard will be remembered as the man that stood on his head in a wheat field somo two years ago. The annual election of Omaha Wheel club officers took place last evening, twenty-five members being present, The followln; officers were olected: President, ¥. N. Clarke; vice president, A.D. Hughes isocre- tary, Perry Bodollet; ‘treasnrer, G. O. Fran- cisco; captain, F. 1. Mittauer. 'The buglers, licutenants and color bearer to be appointed by the captain. M. H. Wheeler, from Lincoln, was in tawn last weel and, strange to say,’ did not have his byke with'him. Tom Pattorson also dropped in on us, and as usual was ready for a ride on a minute’s notico. Mr. Patterson ries a star now, but none have heard him expreas himself on the superiority of it over an ordinary. There are from ten to fifteen whoelmen soen crossing the bridge daily, morning and night. Right there is inducement enough to offor any one to live in the Bluffs, only twenty minutes ride and not in a crowded car either. Prof, Gwathmey, after learning to ride the safety, vowed he would master_ the ordi- nary, and did so after one trial. He says ho wishos he had never straddled s rober, for now he can’t make up his mind what type machine he wauts to buy. As he is very ac- tive the boys have concluded he will get an ordinary.

OHIOCAGO POSTOFFICE PLUMS. Senator Farwell's Views on the Mat- ter of Their Distribution, CmicaGo, April 6.—Dispatches from Wash- ington published here this morning stated that Senators Farwell and Cullom were very much “‘put out at the appointment of John A. Montgomery to be superintendent of mails in the Chicago postofiice, because they were not consulted in the matter. It appears that the appointment was made by General Super- intendent Ball, and that neither Postmaster General Wanamaker nor Assistant Post- master General Clarkson were consulted about the matter. Senator Farwell was in- terviewed on the subject to-day, and said he was not objecting to Mr. Montgomery at all, he regarded the gentloman in every way fit for the position. ~ What he complained of is that the appointment was made without his (Farwell) knowing anything about it. He thought he should be consulted about mat- ters relatng to appointments at his own home. “Yon are reported to have said,” said the reporter, ‘‘that the present incumbents in minor positions will be allowed to serve out their terms.” ““That is my opinion,’” replied the s enator, “I think that will be the policy of the admin- istration.” _“'It is reperted that the sume difference is likely to arise between President Harrison and the senators in regard the patronage us divided the late Senator Conkling and Presi- dent Garfield.” said the reporter. *I think there is not much danger of that,” said tho semator. “I think the president proposes to treat us fairly, He is 4 man of decided opinions, He is an honest, upright, capable and good wan, and will malke a good president. I do not think he could be severed from his purpose by anybody. He certanly could not be severed from what he thought was right, at all.” e A RESOLUTIONS OF OCONDOLENOCE. Action of the Supreme Court Bar on the Death of Justice Matthews. WasHINGTON, April 6.—The meeting of the barof the United States suprome court to- day to take action on the death of tho late Stanloy Matthews, was interfered with by the storm, and in consoquence the atend- ance was small.
