He has been acquuinted with Clark and his family for eight or ten years, and he tried to find out something about the burglary of the Boston storo on the score of old friendship, Clark admitted to him that he was a vrother of the notorious “Dink” Wilson, but further than that he would not say snything. Ho stuck to the story which he first told, that hoe never saw McDermott until after they had both been arrosted for burglary, He was told that McDermott bad * already admitted that they were both implicated in burglary, but he said that Me- ‘mott lied, and when it cawie to a trial his rd would be us good as MeDermoti He explains the fact of his being caught by say- ing that bo was lyiug dead drunk in the vard .when the offivers ran ucross bim and woke bim up. He acted ns much as possible like a drunken man when he was arrested, but the oficers are positive that he was shamming, He will not plead guilty, like his pal, and there is & possibility that he will put the suthorities to a good deal of trouble to show that ho was really guilty of burglary. —— Drs.

HARD LUCK ENOUGH FOR SEVERAL fortunes—His Latest with His U Rrush pwird Fate, Charles Reddish, an employe of the Coun- cil Bluffs Gas and K ight compasy until recently, has had his full share of mis- fortune in the course of his short life. Some time ago while out late one night in St. Louis he was caught by highwaymen and compelled to shell out the last cent he bad while on his way home from the house of a young lady upon whom he had been calling. A month or 80 ago he fell from tbe top of the eiectric light tower on Oaklund avenue and narrowly escaped with his life by catching hold of & projecting iron bar in his downward flight. His latest adventure was shortly after midnight Saturday morning, His experience with girls in St. Louis had not proved start- ling enough to induce im to let them alone, and Friday night he called upon a girl in Omaha whom he was intending to marry in a fow days, On coming home he vecy natur- ally missed the last motor and had to wait until about 1 o'clock and take an employes' | train that only runs as far iwto Council Bluffs as the motor barns. He alighted from the train and proceeded to walk alone up the track 1o his home, but was soon overtaken by a couple of othor way furers who walked aloag with him, The eloctric lights had all been extin- guished and he had not the slightest idea Wwho his companions were or what they wanted until they reached the corner of Av- enue A and Twenty-sixth street. There he suddeniy felt himself ¢rasped by the arms, and while one of the fellows held him like a trussed fowl the other proceeded to go through his pockets, Kverything he nad in the way of valuables, including a fine gold watch and chain worth 50, a gold locket and chain, & $20 gold piece and 55 cents in small change, was taken. The thieves even examined his overcoat closely as if they meant to take that too, but finally gave himn a parting kick out into the middle of the street and let him go. Ho had been expecting to take a position on the Northwestern railway, but when he arrived at the dopot he found that his train had gone and he had to continue his journey up town. He reported his loss to the police, but they have beeu unable to render him any assistance either in recovering his property or finding the thieves. —_— MONDAY THE LAST DAY Of the Boston Storc's Great Eight Day Whi ule, Monday will be the last dayv of the great white goods sule at the Boston Store, Council Bluffs.

The organization of the new court of law claims at Denver last month and tho an nouncement that the court will hold itsfina session in that city on the 17th of November tive promise thatha longz-vexad titles in th ‘western territories and state will soon be in afair way to settloment. The disputed titles under the Mexican and Spanish grants have proved especially troublesome in Arzona and Neow Mexico. They nave delayed settlament and wvestment in some of the fairest lands of the southwest, and nave proved annoying in the districts farther to the north. After much agitation and complant congress was induced at the last session to{provide a court for the consideration of this business, and it will soon begin to work. The organization of this court gives Tur Bre Bureav or CLAivs a chance to extend its usefulness. It will take claims under this law and prosecute them for persons who do DOt know whom to engage for the service. The business ontrusted to the bureau at Washington is being prosecuted with energy. The Indian depredations patent, land mining and_other claims before the courts and do[‘)nrlmnnu are being pushed as rapidly as possible, with no delays on accunt of the large amount of business which has been sent to the bureau. The large amount of claims intrusted toits careis a standing proof of the esteem andjconfidence in which Tne Bee is held by the public which itserves, It is like- wise a demonstration, if one was required,of the deed of such an organization The revelations 1n regard to the Loomis agency which have been published recently g0 even furtherin the same direction. When a man sought for by the police for nearly a year on & warrant for embezzlement can set up as a claim agent, flood the western coun- try with circulars and receive assignments for several million dollar’s worth of claims, itappears that thore is little protection for the claimant who sonds to an unknown repre sentative. The men who assignod their claim to Loomis would have had small chance of their seeing any of their money if that schemer hud been given time to collect their claims. When such risks arc run and men who are not able to go to Washington and know no one there must hire ‘their attorneys at haphazard, the noed for a bureau to pro- tect the people and do their work at reason- able rates is apparent. ‘The approval with which Tie Ber enter- prise is received by journalists and public men is as gratifying as the response of the public. O Patents and Pate: Every American carries in his blood & stralu of inventiveness. When ho sees labor wasted he begins to puzzle out plans for sav- ing it. When he strikes an ingeulous ma- chine he sots to calculating how it may be improved. Few Yankees have gone through lifo without devising some kind of invention, although in most cases the device may have gone no further than the mind of the in- ventor. The patent office at Washington 1s the out~ growth of this national quality, Itis sucha monument of multifarious in enuity as is not to be matched in the world. Its stores spreads, und in order to make them last we allow only two to u customer.

Wasblogton, D, C.—My of plans and mode.s arc heaped up so lay- ishly by the irre‘)renslblo gen1us of the na- tion that the whole establishment might be burned to the ground every five years, and ‘each new building would be overflowing in time for the next fire. Plainly, it can be no light thing to keep all this mass'of business in order. *As dryas a patent office report’’ has become a proverb, ut these reports, extending through hun- dreds of bulky volumes, contaln the facts by whose light every new application for & patent must be decided. ‘The nerson who exnects to be of any assistance in facilitating the progress of 8 new jdea toward govern- ment recognition must know how to thread their dusty byways and uncover all the old ideas to which the new comer may bear a family resemblance The inventor can bardly ever do this. Even if he happens to be a resident of Wash- ington his familiarity with the details of patent office procedureis rot likely to be sufticient to enavle him to accomplish any- thing for himself, and if he lives at a distal of course he can do nothing. An attorney is always required. But nov even the pensioners have suffere- more from the operations of unscrupuious at torneys than the inventors. The average in ventor is poor, and not accustomed to the technicalities of law or business. He wants o patent, and he takes that term at its face value. To him a patent is a patent, neither more nor less. He reads the advertisementof a plausible agent who promises to get patents in quick time av low rates, payable only in case of success, He sends on his application and in due time is gladdened hf the receipt of an impressive document, garished with gilt seals and blue ribbons and announcing 1tself to be a patent, And so it is, bat when the owner uuder- takes to put his invention on the market he finds that he has nothing to sell. The attorney has saved him- self trouble by putting in a claim covering only some one trivial point and the patent granted on that point is worthless as a pro- tection to the essential features of the inven- tion. An honest and capable attorney would have made his claim as broad as possiblo; he would have argued every point witb the examiners, and when he finally ovtained a patent it would have been as valuable as the merits of the invention would permit. ‘Tuk Bee Bureau of Claims is not afrad of trouble. Contrary to 1ts custom in land, Tndian depredation and pension cases it does not take patent cases on contigent fees, and no other reputable patent attorneys do. When an apolication is ntrusted to it, it gives the subject careful and intelligentstudy, and then files an itemized claim covering as many poiuts as can possibly be found in the invention. It argues as wany of these as may be denied and in the ena it secures a patent comprehensive enough to hold its own in the courts and in the money market. If any Inventor should be inclined to ques tion tho importancegof broad claims in apply ing for patents, he may profitably consider the methods by which Alexunder Graham Bell has been raised within the past fifteen years from poverty to a place in the financial ;mrlu alongside of Jay Gould and Russell Sage.

Specifications must be drawn to fully disclose the invention, to dis- tinguish between what is new and what is old. The employment of counsel skilled in patent law is therefore usually a prerequi- site to the proper prosecution of a case and a grant of a valuable patent. Many inventors suffer the loss of benefits that should be derived from valuable inven- tions owing to insufficient protection by patents procured through incompetent or careless agents, For What Gr: Under the laws of the United States let- ters patent are gratited toany person who has invented or discovered any new and use- ful art machine, manufacture or composition of matter, or nas invented uny new or useful improvement thereon. Term of ¥ nt, A patent is granted for seventeon yoars, during wnich time the owner has sole and exclusive right to make, use and sell the patented invention. How to Proceed. For economic reasons, before making ap. plication to the patent oftice for a patent, the novelty and patentability of tho invention should be ascertained, because, if the inven- tion is not new or not patentable, an unneces- sary expense is incurred by filing an ap- plication on which & patent can never be granted. Tho first thing to be doue is to find out whether or mnot the inveution is new and patentable, For advice on this point it is necessary to send to Tur Bee Bureau a rough or complete sketch or a photograph of the iuvention, to- gether with a brief description thereof, set- ting forth the object of the improvements, the arrangoment of the parts and the ad- vantages attained. While a mndel is very seldom necessary, yet it is often of great as sistance. Tue Iatter can be made of any cheap material, and will be returned if a re- quest is made to that effeot. Upon receipt of the data mentioned suf- cient to evable the invention to be under- s000d, our counsel will at onceexamine there 1ato, and will advise without cbarge what 1s the best course to pursu¢, and will express an opinion, from their knowledge of the arts and phiens already granted, as to the pat- entubility of the invention, Special Search, In this connection it is recommended that the vest and safest course is to have a special soarch made in the patent office to ascertain whether or not the iuvention has been here- tofore patented. The advant: of such a search is that if no anticipating patent is discovered the application can be filed with a greater degres of certainty, whereas if the invention is found to be old all further expense is avoided. Tno cost of a search of this nature is &, and with the report of the result thercof the inventor will be furnished wich copiesof such patents, if any, as embrace his ideas. It is much bet’ ter to have this search made in the outsot before incurring any expenso whstever re- garding the application for patent, If 1tis found that the invention is new and patentable the client is advised to proceed with the filing of an application for patent, ond will then be requested to remit #15 to cover the first government fee and §5 in pay ment of cost of drawiug, when one is neces- sary, As s0on as possible after the receipt of this remittance the speci- fication of the invention will be carefully prepared and forwarded to the inventor, together with forms for apoli- cation for {:nl,ent ready for execution. Upon return of the latter the case will be promptly filed in the patent office, and notice will ba sent when action is had thereon, aad also of the nature of such action, Time Required. The examining corps of the pateut oftice is composed of thirty-two divisions, among which the applications are divided according to the official classification. ‘The condhtion of the work in these various divisions varies from one to fivo months i arrears. Henco no specific time can be stated for the pend- ency of all cases, Afteran applioation for patént is granted six months are allowed in which to pay the final government foe, &20. About three weeks after the payment of this final foe the patent will issuc and be mailed to the inventor. The Bureau Consistent with the spirit in which this Buroau was formed, it is proposed to do the work as near the actusl cost as will protect the business from loss. Although counsel are retained at heavy expenso to the Bureau, yet it is the wish to chargo in ordinary cases ouly the minimum fee of 325 However, in cases requiring extra care, time and labor, the feo will be proportionately increased, but clients will always bo advised in ad vanca should such increase of feo be found necessary. arges, Design Patents, A patent fora design is granted to any person who has invented, or proauced any new and original design for printing of woolen, silk, cotton or other fabrics; any new and original impression, ornament, pai- tern, print or picture to be printed, painted, cast or otherwise pluced on or worked into any article of macufscture; or any new, useful and original shape or configuration of any article of manufacture, the same not having been known or used by othors before bis invention or production thereof, or patented or described iu any priated publica- tlon. Patents for designs are granted for the term of three and qup-halt years, the government fee being #10; or for seven years, the fee being $15; or for fourtcen years, the fee boing &30, The charge of the Bureau in ch cases is usuaily $25, Reissues, A patent can be reissued whenover the same is inoperative or invalid by reason of a defective o insufficient . specification, or by reason of the patentee , ing more than he had a right to claim 4§ rew, provided the error has risen by accigert, mistake or inad vertence, or without frandulent intent. The government fee for a refypue is #0. The cost of drawing is §, aud the Bureau charge is usually #5. Great care must e exercised in reissuing a patent, bechbice very often w little validity there may be in a defective patent is entirely lost by procuring a reissue which 15 totally invalid, Rejectod) Guses. There are in the patentbfiice a great many cases which stand rejected, but which should be allowed. This condition of the case way be due either to incompetency on the part of the attorney employed or bis inability, be- cause ot residence elsewhere than in Wash- ington, to make the examiner see the inven- tion in its true light; ana then, again, as often oceurs, cases are re{fluwd on improper or insufiicient grounds. When 80 requested we will have our counsel examiny iuto auy such case freo of charge and advise as to the | %mup«cu for success by furtber prosecution. | he client will also be then informed of the probuble cost of completion. Caveats, By means of a caveat an inventor secures record evidence regarding his iuvention for ihe purposo of enubling bim 10 complote or further experiment therewith. The life of & caveal is one year, aud it may be renewed 4t the end of that time. The gavernment fee is $10 and the bureau chargy is $10. Tride Marks.

Labels., Labels of all kinds, designed to be attached to manufactured articles or to bottles, boxes, ete., containing them, have heretofore been received for registration at the patent offico and a certificate issued accordingly, Under a very recent decision of the supreme court of the United States it is held that there is no authority in Iaw for granting certiticatss of registration of labels which simply aesig nate or aescribe the articles to which they are attached, and which have no value sepa- rated therefrom. A labol to be entitied to rogistration must have by itseif some value as a composition, at least as serving some purpose other than as u mere designation or advertisement, Many now holding cer tificates of rogistration of labels are totally without any protection whatever. Many rogis- tored labels comprise subject matter register. able as trade marks. Whereyer this is so, or where by aslight change it can be mada to come within the purview of the laws govern- ing trade murks, rogistration should be soueht under this head.

Testimouny will also bo taken under our direction in any part of the United States. While no specific sum can be set down as appiicable to all interfereuce cases alike, you the charge will always bo as rea sonable as possible. Infringoments. The question whether or not one patent infringes another is the very soul of all patont litigation, The questions involved are many, and of the most intricate nature. 1t is always a matter of such great import- ance that no one should ever claim that an- other is infringing on his rights, or, likewise, no attention should bo paid to tho ‘claims of infringement by others, until the questions involved are carefully passed upon by rel able cou For such services the charges aro aiways fair and_ reasonable. Fore In addition to the Bureau’s facilities for attending to the interests of its inventor- patrons before the United States patent offive and courts, it is also enabled to wprocure patents for inventions in all countries of the world. In many of the foreign countries, notably Canada, England and Germany, petents for iuventions previously patented in this country are looked upon with great favor aud wventors are there very frequently moro likely to reulize profits from their in- ventions than thoy arc even in this countr: The cost of foreign patents varies with diffe ent cases, but as a general rule the expense of procuring paterts, covering all charges, is about as follows : Canadu, $50; England, £00; Germany, &% France, $85; Spain, $0; Belgium, 360. A ditional information regarding the cost, ete., in any foreign country will be furnishéd by letter on application. Important Warning. It seems remarkable thatin this enlight- ened age it bocomes the auty of everv reli- able and trustwortny attorney in patent mat- ters to advise his clients to beware of the many sharks who set out with the apparent intention of defrauding inventors immedi- ately after the 1ssue of their patents. When # patent appears in the Patent Ofticial Ga- zetle patentees are beset with innumerable offers, solicitations, requests, otc., some pro- tending to want to purchase their patents, while others offer to take an interest therein under promise of procuring foreign patents The sole object of these people is to obtain money from inventors, and they never maxe the slightest enaeavor to carry out their groundless and worthless promises, One of the schemes often resortea to by these sharks is Lo invite patentees to join @ fictitious association, under the pretext that by paying the membership fee the patented invention will be widely published in a pa; which does not exist, and that a salesman will travel over the country until the sale of the patent is effected, and this, 1tis needless 0 add, is never accomplished. Regarding Charges, The charges made by Tnr Ber Bureau or Cra1ys for services in patent cases and those of an analogous nature have been fixed at the lowest possible rate consistent with the degree of skill and talent we have to employ in the prosecution of theso cases. Somo attorneys might profess to secure pat- ents at somewhat lower rates than ours, but we insist that the work canuot be done prop- erly for less than wo chargo.

Icom com- plaiuts that have coms to it. however, it ap- pears thut many of the clairaants do not un derstand their position under the act. At & time when thore appoared to be little chance that congress would take up the claims or make any appropriation to pay them, thoy signed contracts with tho Washington agents, vromising from one-quarter to one-haif the amount to the agent in caso the money should be collected. 1In view of this extortion con. gress inserted a provision in the act annul- ing all contracts and limiting tho agent's commission to 15 or 20 por cent. The claimants ail probably understand that the agent's commission has been limited by the law, but many of them, according to their own statements, do not understand that they are free to do as thoy please about employing the agont thoy had first chosen. They con sigergthat they are still bouna to employ the agent with whom they signod the exorbitaat contracts whether they are satisfied with him or not. It was the intention of congress to protect them at ail points aud they wore left on the passage of tho act free to” do as they vleased and employ whom they pleased. Section 9 of the act atatod: *“That all sales, transfers or assignrionts of any such claims heretofore or hereaftor made, excopt such as have ocourred in the due administration of decedents’ es tates, and all contracts herotofore madoe for fees and allowauces to claimants’ attorneys areheroby declared voic. There could be no mistake about the mean- ing of this. All claimants had to make new contracts with agents aftor tho passage of the act, and they wero at_liberty to emplov any oné thoy pleased. 1f they wera pleased with the zeal and acts of their first acent ith him. Ifthoy were dissatised thoy -might choose any other ageat that thoy pleased. Those who have not signod new contracts sincothe passage of the act mav profit by this to securo much better terms than thev could otherwise get from the agents. The fact that Tne Bee Bureav is doing the work for the bare expense involved has had a good offect in moderating the charges of all agents 1o those who know how to pro them- selves. For thoso who distrust their ability to cope with the claim agents on their own ground Tue Bee BUREAU is always open. BASE BALL PICKING UP.
