Men will alsn ride In on each car for some distance, so that it a person shall become intoxicated after he gets aboard and before the car reaches Y street, he will be thrown off. The city will also_provide men to ride the cars this side of Y street to eject men who may be intoxicated or begin to show the effect of convivality after they passed the jurisdiction of the ones who are stationed at Havelock. The Havelock Problem. J. H. Humpg/ mahager of the Traction company, says that it is not sufficient to have an officer at Hayelock to precent in- toxicated men from boarding the cars, for it frequently happens that men get aboard toxicatedthe cars apparently sober, but that after the several drinks they may have crowded down just ‘prior to starting city- ward get to working, they become decidedly drunk. He told the mayor how recently he came In on a.car, and noticed several men apparently sober on the rear platform, but that soon after the car was started they became intoxicated and got into & fight. Some of them were knocked off the platform in the mill. He got off and ran biick, as he knew another car would be along shortly, and had to drag some of them off the track. It was stated, In the course of the confer- ence, that the company has to have pro- tection and that it is a question of dollars and cents with it, for not only has it two or three law sults on its hands growing out of that character of business, but & sood many former patrons of the company have quit riding the cars because of con- tact with that class of traffic. It was also stated that the company must either get protection or endeavor to have Havelock go dry this year, Minister Writes Serial.

HASTINGS, Neb., Jan. 19.—(Special.)— The clerk of the district court here has been struggling with the problem whether a witness is entitléd to double fees for testifying in two dipsomaniac cases in the same day.

He argues that if a man can be allowed separate fees for each examina- tion he might testify in ten cases in one day as well as in two and would re€elve for his services $20.)
