That Hubbell Again.
1 Judge Archer complains that
lllubbell in allowed to go into the

I this matter is not soon adjust4
ere is. going to be some real ex
lenient in official circles. It
ems that Hubbell is now an ad
Hrv counsel to city prisoners and
hat lie tells them all to plead not
guilty and light everything to a
n finish.
" . This is a matter that demands im
mediate attention and investiga
tion. Here is a degraded person
who, with his wife, has pleaded
guilty to the charge of keeping a
house of ill-fame, and have paid
me line for U. They are insulting,
pen and brazen in their work.
hey are centrally located. It is
aie to call a halt. How long are
the people of this town to tolerate
such business? There is a way to
nake them clear out of town. Will
ie present city attorney make the
move or will the citizens be com
pelled to take the matter into their
own hands?
Hubbell and his women must go
Hubbell's DoinRS.
Hcputy Sheriff John Tighe says
in language which is much more
) forcible than elegant that Judge
Archer's charge that Hubbell is al
lowed privileges at the jail, is tin
Uue. "The one time," says Deputy
v flghe, "when Hubbell was in the
j.iil he came like any other person
would do who wanted to see a pris
i oner. He! wanted to give something
( to a man who was bound for the
t pen. He may have taken ad van
tage of that opportunity to say
something about Judge Archer to
Yu prisoners. For the past lew
"Vceks, however, I have carried the
jf keys and William lias been out in
Ti the country. Hubbell hits not been
in the jail in that time. Anything
( he has said to the prisoners has

That Bridge Casj.
In support of Tin; He kalii's criti
cism upon the report made by The
Kluiwood Echo id Judge Field's ex
planation of his ruling in regard to
the celebrated bridge case, we have
the assurance of the judge that The
Echo's report was incorrect in that
it failed to state that Judge Field
simply quoted Chief Justice K'eese,
who wrcte the opinion of the
supreme court in that case, and
who said in that opinion: "1 1 the
"theory advanced by counsel for
"defendant in error, that the bridge
"in question constitutes a part of
"the roadbed, is true, it seems to the
"writer that the same portion of the
"road would be within the pro
visions of the law regulating the
"fare for passenger?, which is fixed
"by section 1 of article 0 of chapter
'7 of the Compiled Statutes at it
"cent- per mile, and also under the
"jurisdiction of the board of rail
"rnad conimis-io-iers, and that not
"only wool I detend.int in error be
".-object to the 1 iw and jurisdiction
"a. line. I. but that the charges testi
fied to by the witness would be
"clearly i;i violation of law, lor we
"kuow o no exception of such
"bridges being made in either
"en- e." n Nil ... dan.
Judge Field did s ly. il the theory
upon which he decided the case
wa followed to its logical conclu-
l the bridge ought to be a free
bridge, but he did not assert that a
lecisiou of the case as arrived at by
the lower court would have made
the bridge Iree, or that the state of
.Nebraska possessed the power to
,., . if
control mat mailer, nonce we con
clude that Judge Field was fully
warranted in saying, if his view of
the law was correct, then the
bridge should be an open highway
free of extra charge or tolls to the
Nebraska producer.
The Kcho's report was correct, in
as f;ir as it went, and Judge Field
Iocs not find fault with it, only it
did nov fully state all lie said, and
was liable to the construction
seized upon by the democratic
newspapers of the district, and for
that reason alone 1 UK IIKHAI.K
criticised the report.
l'HK 1 1 l-.KALP's position is that
Judge Field's vie- of the law was
in honest one: that it was a new
question and that under the author
ity produced upon the trial he was"
warranted in taking the view of the
law he did take. All courts err at
times and we would be placed in a
pretty position in this country if
every time a trial court erred in the
law it was to be condemned as cor
rupt. Judge Field is all right and the
bridge case won't hurt him in Cass
county.
That Advertising Train.
The Lincoln hoard trade is
making a big effort to raise a fund
to aid Lancaster county in having
a proper representation on the Ne
braska Advertising Train. The
county commissioners there have
been called upon for an appropria
tion and will probably grant a lib
eral one.
Cass county can well afford to
give something, too. This county
ought to be represented on the
train. The Cass commissioners
will be supported in making a fair
appropriation for this matter. The
cost to individuals would be so
small that it would never be felt.
Taxes and Patronage.
The News office is becoming
quite a substantial institution ami
the aggregate amount of taxes paid
by the members of the office foots
up to a very respectable figure,
l'his is a very important fact, and
should be duly considered in the
distribution of public patronage.

The Hon. Orlando T-'tlt ol Avoca, !
regarding the nomination of Jesse
15. Strode for judge said: "I was j
glad to note from the selection of
J 11 Strode that when Cass coiinly
sent a man up to Lincoln he was
promptly nominated. I want to say
that when they shall have elected
Mr. Strode they will have a judge
of whom they may always be proud
Judge Field has made a decidedly
favorable impression down in Cass
county, and while that county has
been considered doubtful, I believe
Judge Field will cary it by a good
majority. 1 don't believe that Un
people will ever vote to entrust the
reins of state government to Van
Wyck, who is always saying that if
the peapie will eh ct him he will
give them something, he does

was employed as the Chicago agent
for John A. McShane of Omaha.
Mr. McShane owns the building
known as the Kxchnnge at Pacific
avenue and Van Hiiren street.
Ryan came to Chicago six months
ago from Tacoma, Washington, and
entered into the service of Mr. Mc
Shane as collector of rents and gen
eral business manager. He had
authority to collect bills and pay
debts, and kept a bank account for
that purpose. At his own solicita

of the Catholic Young Men's Henev

Two things strike lis with ania.einent

was no systematic method of fighting lire
until quite recently; the other that there
is now so much heroism anil skill displayed.
One can scarcely read of u lit tit lire in a
country village but he rends also of the
efficiency of the volunteer firemen and the
heroism some man displayed in saving
women anil children, Heroism is so com
mon that it isiuilaugerof becoming cheap.
The great lire in Koine hi the time of N't in
Is doubly notable, because in the account
of it we first find the Christians mentioned
in profane history. The author of "Sala
thiil" has added to the interest in it by
that wonderful description of his hem's
esrapu fioui il, hegliiuiiig, "Koine was an
ocean of flame; height and depl h were cov
ered with red surges which rolled In lore
the blast like an endless tide."
There is no hint, however, that any great
risks were taken to save life, ami Tacitus
says nothing of any organization like a
modern lire department. The pie sim

Too much could not be done for dug

fifty dollars was bought for him. In but 11,
