In the first place there was a total fnability on the part of surviving heirs in many cases to produce the benefit certificate. This was remedied by the records at the head camp, which were taken as conclusive proof of the standing of the member at the time of the flood. Then, in muny-cases, 't was fmpossible to prove the death by the Identification of the body. This difficulty could mot be overcome and finally the board of managers decided to waive the ldentification of the body and to accept proof showing the last time the mem- ber was seen alive. If he was then In a place of extreme danger the managers de- cided to presume that he is dead. Another phase of the payments which s difficuit of solution is where a whole family was exterminated. The wife is generally the beneficiary. Where she was drowned with her husband both the col- lateral heirs of the wife and those of the husband have applied for the Insurance money, In these cases the soclety will probably pay the money into some court and let the heirs settle the questien of its distribution by litigation. The whole matter of the sufficlency of evidence and the sub- mission of the same to the soverelgu camp has been placed by that body in the hands of a committee of members of the order in Galveston. For some reason this committee has not reported as soon as was expected and John T. Yates, the sovereign clerk, has gent them word to hurry the report to head- quarters o clalms can bo paid. The money for the payment of all Galveston death losses 1s in the treasury of the soverelgn camp and the officers desire to place it in the proper hands. The head camp of jurisdiction A of the Woodmen of the World will hold 1ts next session at Beatrice, Neb.,, and on the first meeting night in December each local camp will elect delegates. Jurlsdiction A em- braces the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas and the In- dlan Territory. It is estimated that at least 800 delegates will be in attendance and that the meeting will be one of the most fmportant in the history of the order. The memorial service to be held at the Creighton-Orpheum theater one week from today at 10:30 a. m. by the Elks of Omaha and Council Bluffs will possess special fea- tures that have never heretofore been at- tempied by any lodge of the order iu the west. It will be a joint service of the two lodges, and in this conneetion it is proper to note the record that has been made by the Council Bluffs lodge. That lodge was instituted December 27, 1899, less than a year ago, It started fn with a charter membership of 242, and in less than a year they have extended their member- ship to 395. More than this, December 27 they expect to occupy and dedicate & building of their own in the same block and just west of the Grand hotel, fronting the park, which will have cost, with the land, when the building s fully ready for oc- cupancy and furnished, over $30,000.

REPORTS ON FOREIGN CROPS Department of Agriculture Compliles Statistics from America's Leading Competitors, WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—European re- ports to the Department of Agriculture. show that the conditions of fall sown wheat, spelt and rye in Germany, as officially re- ported by the German statistical office, is considerably above medium. The prelimi- nary official estimates of French cereal crops for 1900 show the production of 43,612,498 bushels of barley and 262,87 oats. The final estimate for the 1899 crops 16 for 46,306,122 bushels of barley and 270, 426,666 bushels of oats. Both grains were a little lghter than In 1899, besides re- turning a smaller yleld per acre in meas- ured bushels. Comparison of the wheat, maslin, rye, barley and oats production in France for ten years snows that each of those cereals 1s below the decennial aver- nage, as well ns below the crop of 1599, though the ceficlt, as compared with the decennial wverage, is small in the case of the more important cereals. The final general memorandum of the In- dian government on the sugar cane crop for the season 1899-1900 shows that in both northern and southern Indfa the season began well for this crop and the area planted was larger than i 1808, being ap- proximately equal to the average. Failure of rain, however, later seriously injured the crop. In the Punjab district at least Foue-third of the crop was lost, and the crop of the northwest provinces was esti- mated at only 62 per cent, but in Bengal and Madras provinces from 83 to 87 per cent of an average crop was realized. The area under rice in the 1899-1900 season is estimated at approximately (2,000,000 acres, somewhat smaller than that in 1898, but more than the average. The yield was es. timated at somewhat over 23,345,000 tons, being, lke the area, smaller than that of last year. This reduction is in Madras ana Bengal provinces. Berlin government advices from Chill re- port that for the first six months of this year the weather has been favorable to the wheat newly sown for the crop of 1500-01 and for the same period the Chilian ex- ports of wheat were very small, due to tho short crop of 1899-1900. The Roumanian government reports glve 3,928,841 acres of wheat in 1900, with a production of 66,462,869 bushels. ‘fo a Wedding and a Banquet.

Wy ILER’S PURE MALT WHISKEY LAWYERS HUSTLE FOR FEES Police Oourt Burriu:l—lhu Hard Struggle to Obtain Olients, TAKE ALMOST ANYTHING IN PAYMENT Shifts and Devices Em- to Ascertain Whether pective Clients Can Pay. Numero ployed ¥ How the police court lawyers manage to make a living defending the impecunious rabble at the city Jall has long been a mystery to the uninitiated. Like the beathen Chinee, their ways nre dark, but unlike him thelr tricks are seldom vain, baving proved effective throughout years of practice. Hero s an actual conversation over- heard between one of the swall fry barris- ters and a potential client, which serves In part to disclose the secret of the for- mer's prosperity. The client is under ar- rest for assault and battery: “Of course | can clear you,” the lawyer was saylog. “For $10 I will prove an alibl"” “What's an alibi?” “An alibi means that you weren't present during the disturbance—that you were some place else.” ‘But 1 was there and a dozen fellows me there." ““That makes no difference. I know three g00d witnesses who will swear you were on an excursion steamer that night." “Well, I've only got $5. Can you fix it for that?" ““No. Alibls cost money. The best I can do 18 ‘sel? defense’ for $0." The remalnder of the dialogue was con- ducted In a whisper and before its con- clusion the prisorer must have thought ot A way to ralse $10, for he “proved” his alibl and the “dozen fellows' he mentioned were not there to combat it. He was dis« charged. Methods of Luring Dollars. Take the relation between balliff aud bar- rister, for instance; it is the reverse ot that observed in the district court. In the Kleventh and Dodge street forum the differ- ebce s all o the part of the barrister. ‘The bailiff, called “‘court officer,” runs the sessions with @ high hand and to him the poor attorney, hustling for a fee, ls no more eutitled to respect than the raggedest prisoner In the dock. It is not uncommon to hear Officer Davls shout: “Judge Coole: Get over there where you belong, sir! And the disciple of Blackstone never falls to obey with becoming meckness. The very atmosphere of the police court negates dignity. What judge, with any sense of .the ridiculous, could sit unmoved in the presence of & ragged, unkempt dere- lict, with the unstudied makeup of a stage comedian and the remalns of a jag, vainly struggling to appear penitent? No oni less it is Judge Gordon. He very seldom, saw anything funny or anything pathetio in the varied panorama that passed before him, But with Judge Learn It Is different. He enters {nto the spirit of his environment. A point of human interest seldom escapes him end he never falls to hit off the situa- tion with a sally of wit-—-which, by the way, Is alleged to be the highest attribute of a police magistrate. Where the Lawyer Shines. The activity of the police court lawyer 18 exercised under two grand headings: First, securing bonds for his clients ond, appeariug in their behalt in open court. The former is often the more re- munerative. ““One hundred dollar bonds™ sounds big to the average prisoner, but to his “learned counsel” It is only a phrase, All he has to do s to get one of the pro- fessional bondsman of the locality to sign & document pledging to deliver the prisoner fn couart at a certain time. The amount doesn't matter. It may be $10 or $1,000. The protessional bondsman, signer of the “straw bond,” seldom takes the trouble to look at the figures, all his property— if he have property exemipt and the forfelture of such surety Is almost un- heard of. This, however, Is not equivalent to saylng that the prisoner invariably ap- pears in court ag “nominated in the bond.” But It is when he defends his cllent “‘be- fore the bar of justice” that the police court lawyer is truly spectacular. It I8 not uncommon for him to indulge in the most impassioned flights of oratory In at- tempting to prove a prisoner gulltless of ling & pair of “pants.” And in the cross-examination he pretends to get angry with the city prosecutor, disputes points of law with him, splits legal hairs, raves and rants in & truly disquieting manner. And all for what? Sometimes for sometimes for a bulldog; sometimes & second-hand coat and vest, and once within the last three months a police court lawyer accepted a canary bird and cage! Of course such chattels are pawned, sold, or otherwise converted into money as soon as possible. Go After Businews. The typical police court lawyer is not deterred by the ethics of his profession frem going after business. If he waited for busi- ness to come to him he would starve to death. A favorite way to solicit Is to stand at the head of the stairs as the prisoners are marched up of morning and pass cards to them. Sometimes these bits of puste board are shoved in under the deor of the ante-room where the prisoners sit to awalt tria The lawyers are not permitted to mingle with the prisoners in the ante-room, and, as & result of this order, atterney and prisoners are often seen couversing with each other in a sort of sign language through the open door. A lawyer will nod and grimace, and it the prisoner nods and grimi in re- ply It means that the former has been “reo- tained.” Then the lawyer will hold up five fingers and give his eyebrows an inter- rogatory roll. That means: “WIll you pay me $?" The prisoner shakes his head and holds up two fingers. And so the pantomine goes on. A favorite trick of the Blackstones—the purpose Lelng to learn whether & prisoner bas money or pot—Iis to be down in the Jall lobby when he is brought ln. Frem their vantage greund on the outside of the wire netting they watch him s he is searched, making note of his name and as- sets, and then govern themselves accerd- ingly when he is arraigned next day. Another is to play the part of errand boy for a mewly-arrested prisoner. They will go to some friend or some member of his family and give notice of his deten- tion (usnally magoifying the offense in order to augment the potential fee) and (ncle dentally put in an application to represent the unfortunate in court, or to get him out pn bond. The foregoing observations do not neces sarily apply to all the police court lawyers, of whom there are always from two to seven, but to the typlcal man of that call- Ing. There are some exceptions. One or two now exploiting there are seemingly honorable in their dealings, and apparently hope some day to graduate from the petti- foggery of “boeby hateh'' practice. $5; tor WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 of the state of Maryland Is 1,180,050, against 1,042,390, in 18%0.
