Sulil to Hutu Ill-oil I'liililly Illltiirnrril In the Inter , ' * ! of srtiT.il I'ITMIIH U'lioso Act * Must llf Iiiti-Mlgutnl lit tinPriHi'iit Term. Judtro Thorncll sprung quite n sensation in the district court yesterday morning sum moning the mornbor.s of Iho grand Jury bo- fora him for mi examination ns lo the rumor that had roaohcd htm lo the effect that some one had been lampuritig wilh them. The move was made upon information furnished the court by County Attorney Organ and J. N. Baldwin. According to their slnU'tnont the diiy ibo grand Jury was empaneled and sot to work they were called Into the ofllco of Ibo county auditor , where they found Auditor Hondrlclcs nnd Super visor Uruhutn awaiting thorn. The two gentlemen named told them that the county fund had been reduced from ? ! IJ,000 to t."iOUU. and that the counlv llnuncoi were consequently nol In a very nourishing condi tion. They requested the grand Jury lo be very careful In examining criminal cases , and lo look nl both sides before returning in- dicltnonls , so that the county should not bo put to the oxoonso of criminal prosecutions whom there was not good ground for the be lief that n conviction would bo the result. This , tbo prosecuting nltornoy Ihought , was directly Intended to Inlluenco the grand jury in considering the cases agulnstJ. P. Kimball - ball and U. 11. Champ , and bo and Baldwin accordingly had the Jury brougnl buforo the court for an examination to lltid out Just what hud been said to them by Iho county ofllco rs. The examination of Foreman Axtell brought out the fact that ho had bien approached preached by Hondficks , who said ho wanted to sco the mom nerd of the board In his oflico. Axtoll replied that if ho had anything to say to the members of the board ho ought to como Ooforo It when it was in session. lion- driclts replied thai It was nothing connected with the regular work of the Jury , but ho simply nad something to say to thorn as citi zens of 1'ottawattnmio county. The board met nnd went Into the ofllco as requested , and there found ( Jrnham. The two olllcinls then proceeded with Iho remarks as above slated , pointing oul how the legislature had reduced their levy from ( i to I mills , nnd that economy was therefore necessary in all de partments of the county work. After the examination bait been completed Judge Thorncll gave the Jury some additional instructions , in which ho warned them to be moro careful in tno communications thny had with outside parties. It would bo a sad state of affairs , ho said , if the question of economy were considcroi In bringing criminals to Justice. The grand Jury could no doubl de crease expenses by fulling to have anv In dictments brouirht in at all , but such a tthing would hardly bo advisable. The Jury must guard against bringing in indictments in cases where there is not a rensonubla ground for behoving that n codviction will result ; but at the same lltnu it must not lot the question of expense enter into its deliber ations. Ho exhorted them not to allow any remarks that might have been made Influence them In any way , either for or against Kimball - ball and Champ. He then scnl them bactt lo Ihcir worn. The affair created n big brenzo in the court room , ns well as upon the street outside. Humors were sot in circulation by some ono that the court would have Hcndricks and Grnnim brought , up for an examination on the charge of contempt in the afternoon at 2 o'clock , bul Iho nlternoon wore away and no move of Ihis kind was made , and Counly Attorney Organ stales Ihut 11 ls hardly likely lhat anythine further will come from It. Hendricks nnd Graham were asked for their version of the affair. They admitted that the conversation had nas.sod between them ana the Jury protly much as had been charged , and stated that they bad merely aclcd in accordance with a request rnudo by the Board of Supervisors al ils last meeting. They denied , however , lhat they nad any personal interest in making the request and said they had only boon carrying out the in structions of the board. Thov both talked freely , and stated their willingness to tellJudfro Thornell Just what they had said , regardless of consequences. Fluloy Burke , attorney for Kimball & Chump , thought this movement had been made by Baldwin mainly for the purpose of intimidating the Jury Into returning an In dictment against ICiinball and Chump. 'After an uproar of this kind. " said ho , "it U easy to see lhat the Jury will bo a little backward about dismissing tuo two mon , even if the evidence against Ihom was some what light , on account of u ilroad of bolng accused of corruption. Nothing is easier to moke , and nothing is harder to disprove , than n charge of corruption , nnd Iho best of Juries would bo moro or less alarmed al having n Damocles' sword of this kind nang- Ing over their heads. " Some color Is given lo this Ihcory by tbo fuel that before the Jury had left their souls al the cluso of the examination certain parties were on the streets Industriously spreading the rumor that Hendricks nnd Uraham had been bribing the grand Jury to discharge Kimbnll and Champ. It Is believed , also , by some that Mr. Graham's aspirations for Iho ofllco of mayor played some p.irl in the scheme , it being a well known fact that there has boon but little love lost between Baldwin and Graham since the question of the reduction of Iho taxes of the Union 1'aullio Railway company came before the Board of Supervisors und was settled un- biitlsfiictonlv to Mr. Baldwin , who wus at- loruoy for the company.

A young man wandered disconsolately up Main nnd do.vn I'isarl streol yesterday morn ing , looking In vain tor n man thai failed lo como to light. After ho had spent some tlmo in this way ho cornered u bystander and con- tided to him tlio story of a brand new woe that hud ualercu his life nnd made It for the time bolng n nightmare with steel bhocj on. Ho came In from Neola yesterday morning and on Iho way happamu to mot r. smooth looking gentleman wllh red whiskers and a fur cub , who Introduced himself to him as the representative of ttiu llrm oj , I. M. Mor gan & Son of Walnut , but fulled to gtvo his name. The general tenor of hi * conversation was that ho had been wandering up and down tuo earth In leurch of Just such a young man as Mr. Kedmbaugh , and nothing would suit him any bettor than to ungnuo h in right then nnd there to work for him. A bargain was quickly entered into nnd BOOH thu two mon arrived at the local depot , where they boarded n Main street cur for up town. At the Merriuin block thov alighted , nnd then It was that thu bowhlsliorod found that bo wus In pressing need of funds. UoJlnbaugh was onlv too glad to accommodate- him with (20 , which was the extent of his pllo. and the loinco wont up intq the Morrlam block to his eco , tolling his benefactor that he would be down at onco. Minutes lied , but he did not return , nnd it was not until a man lo whom ho told bin story informed him lhal ho had been played for a sucker that lha whole truth burst In upon his rusllo mind. The con- tldonco man bud simply loft Iho Murrium block on Iho Alain street side , leaving bis now found friend f'00 worth of experience In return for Ihu f-'U which ho took with him. Undtnbuugh is noisulUllud with the trade , however , in splto of the apparent margin In his favor , and ho promises lo show the man , If he can got hold of him n minute , what sort of lists Neola neil can grow. The laal ono to gfo tlio eontldonco man was tlin Janitor of tbo Morrlam block , who saw him climb tbo stairs , anxiously looking behind him to see If he MUS followed , and then to down on the ether side ) { the building.

The disputed lltles under the Mexican and Spanish grants have proved especially troublesome In Arizona nnd Now Mexico. They have delayed sotllomont ana investment in some of the lairest lands of Iho southwest , and have proved annoying in Iho districts farther to the north. After much Dgttaticn and complaint congress wa nduccd nt the lust session to provide a court for the consideration of this business , and vlll soon bojrln to work. The organization of this court gives THE Dm : tfuiiBAUor CI.UMS a chance to extend Its usefulness. It will take claims under this law and prosecute thorn for persons who no not know whom to OIIKUKO for the service. The business entrusted to the bureau in Washington is bolufr prosecuted wiltt onorcy. 1'ho Indian depredations patent , land mining and olhur claims before the courts and departments are boitiR pushed as rapidly ns possible , with no delays on nccnnt of the largo amount of business which has boon sent to the bureau. The larco amount of claims intrusted tolls carols aslondlng proof nf tHe esteem und confidence In which THE BKE is hold by the public which it serves. Ills llko- wise a demonstration , if ono was roqulreJ.o ho need of such un oreanlzatl on The revolutions in rojurd to Iho Loomls agency which have boon published recently go even further In the same direction. When u man sought for by the police for nearly a year on a warrant for embezzlement can setup up us a claim agent , Hood the western coun try with circulars nnd receive assignments for several million dollar's worth of claims , it appears that there Is little protection for the claimant who sends to an unknown ropro sontalivo. The men who assigned Iholr claim o LoomU would have had small ohanco o their seeing nny of their money If tha schemer hud boon given tlimi to collect their claims. When such risks are run and mon who are not able to go lo Washington nnd know no ono there must biro their attorneys ul haphazard , Iho need for n bureau to pro tect tno people and do their work at reason able rates Is apparent. The approval with which Tin : BEH enter prise Is received by Journalists nnd public mon is as gratifying ns tbo response of the public. _ _ SOUTH SIDE AFFAinS , Citizens dull I'ri'p-irlni ; for : vu Improviimmit A regular mooting of Ihu South Sldo Citi zens association was held at Mueller's hall , Eighteenth and Vlnton streets , last night.

Directions to Inventors Isjuod by The Bcfl Bureau of Claims. METHODS OF THE PATENT OFFICE. Tin- Course rollmvo'l l y'tlin Author of uu Intention to 1'roten } UU llllits | Costs of Obtaining u 1'utmt. To the Inventor the nil Important question ircseuts Itself , "How can I secure a p.uont1 ! ind to tbUTiiK list Bureau offoH the fol- owlng explanation : Inventors in a class are not f.unlllar with ho laws under which lotion patent are granted , Iho forms and practice tu ihu patent ofllco at WtMlilngUm and the technical methods of casting specifications and claims o properly protect their invention * against iifriiigors , yet the value of the patent and oven Its validity depend larRoly upon Iho careful nnd export preparation of the caso. Specifications must ho drawn to fully dls- nloso the invention , to distinguish botwoo vhntlsnow and what U old , and claims. upon which the value and validity of Iho intent depend , must bo cast to fully cover ho Invention yet not to encroach upon pat- enls already granlod. Failure In either of thcio rospoots oftonrondoH the pulont value- ess or void , The employment of counsel skilled In patent law is therefore usually n > roroqulslto to the proper prosecution of a case and a grunt of n vabmhlo patent. Many Inventors suffer the lojs of benefits that should bo derived from valuable Inven tions owing lo Insufllciont protection by pat ois procured through Incompetent or care less agents , etc. I'orVlint ( iriinleil. Under the laws of the United States letters - tors nntont nro granted lo any person who las Invented or dlscovorod any new and use 'ul an- , machine , manufacture or composition of matter , or has Invented any now or useful inprovouiont thereon. Term of I'utent. A patent Is granted for seventeen years , during which tnno the owner has solo and exclusive right to make , use and sell the patented invention. Ilou * to I'rorccMl. For economic reasons before mauing ap plication to the patent ofllco for a patent , the novelty nnd patonlablllly of Ihe Inven tion should bo ascertained , because , If the .nvcntion is not new or not patontablo an unnecessary expense l incurred by filing on application onvliicti a patent can never bo ; ranted , etc. The tlrst thine ; to bo done Is to find out whether or not the Invention Is now and [ mtentublo. For advice on the point it is necessary to send to the bureau a rourh or complete skoteh or n photograph of the Invention , to gether with a brief description thereof , setting forth the object , of the improve ments , the arrangement of the parts and the advantages attained. While a model is very seldom necessary , yet it is often of grout assistance. The latter can bo made of any cheap material , ur.d will , be returned if n request Is made to that effect. Upon receipt of the data mentioned sufllc- Jont to enable the invention to bo understood mr counsel will at. once examine thereinto , iii.d will advlso without charge what is the bosi cours * to pursue and will express an opinion , from their knowledge of tbo arts and patents already geanted , as to the patent ability of the Invention. , t. In this connection i Is recommpndod that tno best uud safestcour o is to have a special search made 'in the patent ottlco to ascertain whether or not the invention has been heretofore patented. Tno advantage of such a search is that if no anticipating patent is discovered the. application can bo tiled with a greater decree of certainty , whereas if the invention is lound to bo old all further ex pense Is avoided. The cost of a search of this nature is $3 , and with the report of the result thereof the inventor will bo furnished with copies of such patents , if any , as em- bruce his ideas. It is much bettor to bavo this .search made in the outset before incu r ring any expense whatever regarding the a p plication for patent. If it is found that ho invon tlon Is now and patontablo the client is advised to proceed with the filing of nn application for patent , and will then bo requested to remit 815 to cover the first government fee and f5 In payment of cost of drawing , when one is necessary. As soon as uosilblo after the receipt of this romiUnnco Iho specification of tbo invention will bo carefully prepared and forwarded to the Inventor , together with forms for application for patent rondy for execution. Upon return of the latter the case will bo promptly tiled at the patent ofllco and notice will bo sent when action is had there on , nnd also of tbn nature of such action. The examining corps of the patent ofllco Is divided into thirty-two dlvUlons , among which the applications arc divided according to the oflicial classlllcatlon. The condition of the work in the various divisions varies Irom one to live months in arrears. Tim Bureau Charges. Consistent with the spirit with which this bureau was formed , It Is not intended to conduct any branch of the business on a monev making basis , but it is proposed to do the work as near the actual cost as will Pro tect the burinoss from lo-s. Although counsel nro retained at heavy expense to the bureau , yet It is the wish to charge In ordinary cases only the minimum fee of $ - ! . " > . However , In cases requiring extra care , llmo and labor the fee will bo proportionately increased , but clients wilt always bo udvisod in advance should such Increase. of fee bo found neces sary. In directing inquiries please mention tho' fact that you read these Instructions in TUB DEI : . Design I'lltelltH , A patent for a doalgn is granted to any person who has Invented or- procured any now and original design for Iho printing of woolen , silk , cotton or other fabric * ; any now and original impression , ornament , pattern - torn , print or picture to bo printed , painted , cast or otherwise placed on or worked Into nny article of manufacture ; or any now , useful and original shape or conlieuraltun of any artlclo of manufacture , the same not having boon known or used by others before hU invention or production thereof , or pat ented or described In any printed publica tion. Patents for designs nro gran ton for tbo term of ihrco und .o e-Unlf years , tbo govern inont fee being $10 ; or for seven years , tbo foa being $13 ; or for fourteen years , the fee being $30.

In addition to tbo bureau's facilities for attending to tbo liuoreils of lls Invontor-put- rons before the United States patent ollico nnd courts , it 1s also enabled to procure patents for inventions in all countries of the world. In many of the foreign coun tries , notably Canada , England and Uer- muny , patents for Inventions previously patented in this country are looked upon wllh cieat fav6r , and inventors nrn there very frequently more likely to realize profits from their inventions than they nro oven In this country. The cost of foreign patents varies wilh different cases , but ns a general rule the oxpnnsos of procuring patents , covering oring all charges , is about ns follows : Canaua , $30 ; England , i'JO ; Germany , $9J ; Franco , fiio ; Spain , fUO ; Unlgluin , SOO.

Important Warning ' It seems remarkable that in this cnlight- sncd ago it becomes tbo duty of every re liable nnd Irust vorthy attorney in patent matters to advise his clients to beware of the many sharks who set out with the ap parent intention of defrauding inventors immouiatoly uf tor the issue of Ihoir patents. When a patent appears In the Patent Oftlco Gazette patentees are besot wllh innumer able offers , solicitations , requests , etc. , some prolonging lo want to purchase their patents , while others offer to take an interest therein under promise of procuring foreign patonls. The solo object of these poopln is lo obtain money from Inventors , and they never inako Iho slightest endeavor to carry out their groundless or worthless promises. Models. As boralnbeforo mentioned , models are not required In the patent ofllco except in intri cate or complicated cases. But at the same tltno whnn an invention can bo better ex plained by a model it Is well to send the snmo to us. A model should always bo of a size not larger than ono square foot , and in send ing the same by express the charge ; should be prepaid and the box addressed to THE HEE BUIIBIU OP CIAIMS , Bee Building , Omaha , Nob.

From com plaints that Jjnvo corno to it , however , it ap pears thai munv of Iho claimants do not un derstaud their position under the act. At a tlmo when there appeared lo bo little ohanco that congress would lake up the claims or make nny appropriation to pay them , they signed con tracts with the Washington agents , promising from one-quarter to one-half the amount lo the agonl in case Iho money should bo collected. In view of this oxlortion congress - gross Inserted n provision in Iho acl annul- ing all contracts and limiting Iho agent's commission to 15 or 20 par cont. The claimants ad probably understand that ho agent's commission bus boon limited by the law , but many of them , according to their own statements , do not understand that they arc free to do as they please about employing the agent they had lint chosen. Tlioy con Mdorthat they nro still bound to employ the agent with whom they signed Iho exor bltnn contracts whether Ihoy nro saltstlod will nimor not. it was the inconlion of congress to proto them at all points and they wore lofl on Iho passage of tbo act free to do as they uluasod and employ whom they pleased. Section 0 of the act dialed : "That all sales , trainfera or assignments of nny such claims heretofore or hereafter iniido , except such AS hove occurred In the duo administration of decedents' os tales , and all contracts heretofore made for fees and allowances to claimant-1 attorneys are hereby declared vola.

These who have not signed new contracts since tlio passage of the act mav prollt by this to secure much boiler terms than Ihoy could otherwise got from the agents.
