The names of the jurors are written on a plece of paper Which is passed to the attorneys in turn, and the challenge Is made by drawing a line ) through the name of one. An- other member of the panel Is then called into the box, but none of the jurors are excused until there are twelve uncrossed names on the paper, Those whose names have been marked off are then excused, with- out knowing which of the attorneys did the challengliys. This scheme has been in opera. tion In the federal courts, but has never be- fore been tried in the county courts. Washerwomen us s Dry pine kirdling fcr sale. cobs.

The publication of the recent developments In the northwestern part of the city have set a good many people thinking and trying to figure out just what Is in the wind. Un- fortunately for the public's curlosity, most of the facts are in the possession of one man, and he does not seem particularly in- clined to take the public into his confidence. The fact remains, however, that extensive improvements in that part of the city are projected, and everything Indicates that the air of mystery will not surround the affair very much longer Negotlations are now of the driving park. Some time ago, it will be remembered, the FEast Omaha Land secured an option on this property pending for the sale compa at $1,500 an acre. It is commonly supposed that the company did not mean to buy it, but was merely trying to tie it up, so that when the parties really interested tried to get it, it could be unloaded at a handsome profit. The option expired, however, and the parties who wanted to buy, who hap- pened to be the Union Land and Improve- ment company, found some way of prevent- ing the Kast Omaha people from getting it rencwed. It is given out a certainty however, that the sale will be closed up, and that, too, in very short order. A party of surveyors has been for soveral days past running lincs along the property of the Union Land and Improvement com- pany just north of the levee. This is only one of the circumstances that have made people think that something is really going to happen A member of the Driving Park assoclation and a stockholder in the motor company s quoted by one of the morning papers as hinting that there is nothing but wind in all the doings of the oW weeks, which have been written up at €0 much length in the news- papers, and he gives it as his opinfon that the mammoth stock yards deal is simply a fake, set in operation by stock yards com- panies of South Omaha for the purpose of influencing politics by giving rise to the im- pression that the stock yards of that city may be removed to this side o the river. “The man who gave that as his oplnion,” said a gentleman well qualified to know what he is talking about, “knows nothing about it, and is simply talking through his hat He has been very prominent heretofore in nearly every scheme that has ever been set afoot fn Council Blufts, but this time he has been Ignored, and for that reason thinks there can't be anything in It. But his views have no more weight than those of any other Tom, Dick or Harry, who has no means of knowing excepting those he evolves from his think tank.” Sallow @ blotche complexions are pro- duced by alum, ammonia and other adulter- ants In baking powder.

"OR PURSUING THEIR E Judge Woolson Gives n Palr of Bootleggers Some Notion of Cumulative Justh Judge Woolson Is proving himself a terror to evil doers, particularly those whose decds lie in the direction of bootlegging. During his previous terms he has had a habit of Imposing a generous sentence on every man convicted of this sort of infraction of Uncle Sam's laws, and then suspending the sen- tence during good behavior of the convict. His kindness has not been appreciated at its face value by all of the men so dealt with, however, and many are coming back. Yes terday morning Bert Frinks and Lawrence Hunter stood before him for sentence. They had occupled that very same position at a former term. After talking to them upon the results of tampering with the govern- mental regulations, Judge Woolson proceeded to give Frinks a $§500 fine and a twelve months sentence in the Pottdwattamie county jail, and Hunter a fine of $400 and nine months in jail. Theso sentences are far in excess of any that have heretofore been given in this court for such offenses, and coming on top of the cight years peniten- tiary sentence given a man a few days ago, for sending obscene matter through the malls, are likely to have the effect of deter- ring a good many people from following in thefr footsteps. Harry Fellows, said to be one of the worst crooks of Creston, was up for sentence. He has a bad reputation, having taken a re- volver away from two policemen on one oc- casion while he was drunk and compelling them to dance or be shot. They danced. He has also served six months for trying to shoot a deputy sheriff. He has now be- come an humble bootlegger and Judge Waool- VL WAYS, son, taking into account his previous bad conduct, fined him $400 and sent him to jail for nine months David Knapp was fined §200 and sentenced t0 a seventy-five-day term for a like offense. No mittimus will be ordered at present J. T. Bryant's sentence of $200 and sev- enty-five days was suspended during good behavior. John T. Rettid's sentence of $300 and 100 days was likewise suspended Taylor Spence, $2i0 and seventy-five days suspended. Andy Schwab, $200 and 100 days, suspended on condition that he give up going on sprees and support his family. Robert Perrigo, $300 and 100 days, ali but fifteen days of the sentence suspended. Willlam Bolton, $300 and 100 days, suspended on condition of his taking the Keeley cure. Kennan Middaugh, $360 and 150 days, sus- pended. The following sentences were not suspended Gus Miller, $150 and seventy-five days; Will- lam Allen, $350 and 120 days; Bert Petty, $350 and 150 days; John Woodward, $350 and 130 days.

I had the honor, says a writer in the North Amerlean Review, In company with the late Lord Hannen, the late Lord Bowen, Sir Horace Davey, Mr. Bryce, M. P., and Mr. Marten, Q. C., formerly member for Kilkenny, of visiting America with him in 1853, Wo were invited by the bar of the state of New York, and most of us were subsequently the guests of Mr. Villard, then the president of the Northern Pacific Rail- road company, on the first through journey by that route across the continent to the Pacific slopes. Lord Coleridge did not ac- company us on this part of our travels, but in several of the New England states he re- ceived marks of honcr, and el of us enjoyed the proverblally generous hospitall: y of the great American people. The visit added a large number to his budget of anecdotes, which he used to tell with much enjo. although now and then some of them tcld gainst himeself, Desirous of information 1 Coleridge was inquiring from Mr. £ the distinguished New York bar- formerly sccretary of state, how American lawyers were remunerated for their werk Lord Colerldge—Pray, Mr clients pay thelr lawyers witn you Mr. Evarts—Well,” my Lord, they retaining fee; it may be $50, or it $5,000, or $50,000. Lord Coleridge—Yes; and what cover? Mr. Evarts—Oh, ainer. The rest is is done, and accordin Lord Coleridge—Ye clients like that? Mr. Evarts—Not a bit, my bit. They gencrally say: *I Bvarts, [ should like to know how deep down I shall have to go Into my breeches pockets to see thig business through.” Lord Coleridge—Yes; what ment, Bvarts, how do a ay be does that that fs simply the re paid for the work to the work done Mr. Evarts; and do Lord, not a gues Mr do you say then? Mr. Evarts—Well, my Lord, I have in- vented a formula, which { have found answers very well. I say: “'Sir, or Madame, as the case may be, I cannot undertake to say how many judicial errors I shall be called apon to correct before I obtain for you final justice.” e Justice Reagan of Thomasville has been a 'squire for forty years, and In his baili- wick his decisions are final, says the Atlanta Journal Last June there was a case that came up before him, and the plaintiff had a witness subpoenaed. When the case was called the witness was not there. “May it please your honor," said the plain- tiff, “I ask for a continuance because of the absence of my witness,” “Where is he?" querled the court. *“Please, your honor, 1 forgot all about this being court day till late this morning, and [ sent him out early to dig balt, and he had not come back when 1 left home.'” “Ahem! Well, the court rules that you should be granted a contlnuance. The bream fishing season come but once a year, and a man can’t afford o miss it." On ancther occasion 'Squire Reagan heard a case in which there were no witnesses, and the statements of plaintiff and defendant were all the court had to’ decide upon. Of course the plaintiff swcre to facts that were dircetly contradicted by the testimony of the defendant. Here was a dilemma, but the judge was equal to the emérgency. “‘Gentlemen,” said he, “‘perjury 1s a very heinous offense and should never be finputed to any man unless fcr good and substantial reasons. Now, In this case the court occu- ples the pesition of both judge and jury, judge as to the law In the case and jury as to the facts and the preponderance of the evidence, Therefore, as jury, the court, well knowing the law bearing cn the c finds itself unable to agree, and as judge, declares it a mistrial; and again as judge grants a new trial before a jury in this court at the next term of said court, which now stands adjourned.” e “One of the funniest instances I ever knew to occur in court,” a veteran official of Penobecot county, to the Lewiston (Me.) Journal, “happened years ago when Judge Perham presided in " the court of common pleas. An old Irishman, a resident of Ban- gor, was an important witness in a case, and both he and the lawyers, who were try- ing to examine him, were having a hard time of it. The witness was very slack and frowsy in his personal appearance, and this heightened the effect of his blarney im- mensely. He perspired freely under the or- deal of examination and was evidently wish- ing it all over, when the door at the rear of the court room opened and in came a little sharp-eyed, old Irish woman. The witness saw her and a look of intense relief spread over his features as he blurted out: “There, There Is me ole woman, come in. Ax her some cf your dum foolish questions. She kin take care o' ye.' " P Detrolt Free Press: Lawyer—Of course U'm willing to bring suit for any amount you say, but don't you think $50,000 is rather a large amount for breach of promis2?” 01d Maid Client—No, sir.
