The gentlemen who have unjustly suffered by the article appear to be satified with the apology, and the matter will doubtless now be drepped. Attorney John Lindt raised an interesting question in the volice court yesterday. It is of some interest to the unfortunates who daily pass under the rod of Judge McGee, but 1t is of more personal importance to the city marshal and the police torce. Chris Mardis was arvested forintoxication. Ae had #42 in his pocket when searched at the city build- ing, and the officer felt pretty sure of collect- ing the fine that might be assessed. Mardis concluded that he wag not drunk and engaged the serv of Colone! Lindt. Tt required five or six witnesses to prove that he had taken something more than a simple medicine for catarrh, and that a bottle half filled with whisky found in his possession when ar- rested had not been preseribed by a physician in Minueola for hay fever, as Mardis alleged. Judge McGiee considered the evidence suficient and assessed a fine of $10 and osts. The amount of the fine was counted outof the pile in the hands of the marshal and paidinto the city treasury, and then Colonel Lindt objected to the payment of the costs, which amounted to several dollars. The officers refused to apply the money paid into the payment of the fine, and s tained thatv the costs should be paid first. Lindt refused to accede to it and the officers refused to give Mardis his liverty. The mat- ter was referred to the judge and he per- mitted the victim to go and took the propo- sition under consideration. Lindt claims that his proposition is impregnable and says he will not back dow) 1 he should be sus- tained it will give the police court victims another advantage that will prove even more popular than_the practice of appealing cases Wwhere objectionably large fines ave assessed.

Johnny Must Bring His Dram fa Court ~Seizing Atkin's Stock of Goods ~Sparring for Points - Minor Mention, Justice Hendricks was yesterday listening tothe case of the Lake Manawa railway company against F. O. Gleason, It was stipulated that like eases against John Clan- . Levine, J. Palmer and J. 1. Hark- s should be subject to the same decision which should be rendered in the case on trial, the evidence and law questions being about thesame in all the cases, These suits wero brought to enforce the payment of amounts subseribed to the Manawa enterprise, When the subscription paper was first passed around the signers subscribed certain amounts for which they were to recel in the company. Later it was de those then in charge of the company that this method would not result in securing the en- terprise, and that subscriptions should be taken only in the form of donations. Sub- scribers were scen and asked to agree to this new arvangement, and certain represen- jons were made as to when the voud was to be completed and in operation. Some agreed to the change from stock sub- scription to donation, and some, in fact most of those who paid anything, vaid one-half the amount subscribed. he road was not com- pleted for a yearor more after the date verbally agreed npon, and many refused to pay the rest of the subscription. Now suits are being brought to enforce the payment, there being many who are still refusing. The decision o these cases will probably decide all the others, Colonel Reed, who now owns theroad, claims to have been an innocent purchaser of this subscription list, and that therefore he should recover. It is climed that the original subs ption list is a con- tract, which, with the change made later from stock to donation, 1s complete in itself, and that the question of the timeof com- letion is not an_essence of this contract. The defendant claims that the latter arrange- ment was a new contract, aunulling the old and writter, one, and that the new coutract, which was verbal, was annulled by the fail- urcof the company to construct the roads promised at t| time. Justice Hendricks is taking the case under advisement, —— The Greatest Offer of the 10th Century At the hook department of the Boston store, Fotheringham, Whitelaw & Co,, Council Bluffs, Ia.

Before the real contest came off there were several bouts between country lads, who ara pupils of Jack Terry. After agreeing as to referee, timers, etc., the two contestants stepped into the ring. The unknown from this city came to the ch At 160 pounds, while” Terry tipped the beam at 185, Those who attended with a view to seeinga fight to the finish were sorely disappointed, as the contest wus with three-ounce gloves, limited to six rounds, and was for points only, $100 being the money consideration. Both 'men worked hard, making a fine contest, At the oclose of the sixth round the battle was declared a draw, but it is tho opinion of those who wit- nessed it, and who ave good judges, that the unknown was entitled o the contest. Neither was badly punished. The sports refurned to the city at 1 o'clock, apparently well satisfied with the result, i Kid Glove Sale At Eiseman's, For Mouday only we offer 100 dozen kid gloves at 40 cents a pair.

Four new attachments were sworn out yesterday afternoon by the creditors of Charles Atkins, the Middle Broadway gen- eral merchant who failed a short time ago. In thesuits F. Peterson was made the de- fendent. ‘r'he day before the failure was an- nounced Atkins executed a chattel mortgag to Peterson to cover a claim for $00, and it was this mortgage that attracted the atten- tion of other creditors and caused them to close in upon the stock. Peterson’s mortgage was larger than any other singlo claim and had the udditional sdvantage of priority, and he promptly foreclosed it and took possession of the goods. Part of them were moved from the store occupied by Atkins and taken on Upper Broadway and_placed in_a vacant building belonging to Peterson.

There is another reason,” said he. “I think the expense would be too great to justify the movement, unless the de- fense cares to " hire some of the teams that would be required to take the jury to Elk- horn. T also waat it understood that no part of this trial shall take place on Sunday.” Judge Clarkson held with the prosecution, and said: “I think I shall refu as such a loug trip would be too expensive.” The defense ook exceptions to the court’s ruling and will go to the supreme court on this point should the jury return a verdict of guilty. In the equity court Judge Wakeley handed down the following decisions : Scholler vs West furniture company —Held that in case of a sale of personal property on an agreement that the title shall remain in the vender until the property is paid for, the transaction is not a morigage but a condi- tional sale; and an action cannot be main- tained for a penalty for refusal to release the vender's claim on the records ot the county register.

Mr. Babeock is_decidedly opposed to the custom of increasing the salary of the princi- pals every time another room is added to the building over which they have charge. He thinks there should be a limit at which the salary of a principal must. stop, and instead of having some principals superintend from sixteen to twenty rooms and draw very large salaries, he would have the work of the principals made as nearly equal as possible and their pay in proportion. Where there are more rooms in a district than one principal should bo asked to super- intend, he would give the principal the maxi- mum number of rooms and have competent teachers take charge of the rest and report direct to the superintendent of schools in- stead of to the principul. There will probably be some effort made also to do away with the committee on boun- daries, and place that work in the hands of the superintendent, as it used to be. The committee on boundaries has found the work very unsatisfactory and laborious, but some members of the board are still in favor of keeping the committeo on boundaries, ‘T'hey claim that, although it is attended by a great amount of work, much better results are at- tained in this way than by leaving the mat- ter to the superintendent, et Another Hold-Up. Lewis Jones and Frank Bush were ar- rested last night on the charge of holding up Pat Roach, who lives at 2220 Charles street. According to Roach’s story, he was met near his home by Jones and Bush shortly after 10 o'clock last night and ordered to throw up his hands. They then went through his pockets, but only secured 42 cents.
