And the rale was observed az weM as oonM be expected. A few drinks were sold on the irty. but for tfee roost part the proprietors of the place * veemed inclined to do as they were bidden , at least unless they were sure of not being found out. The order before the last one , however. Is tiering openly disregarded by the E&loonlctE , and Ihe belief prevails that It will be al lowed to drop Intc disuse as soon as the mayor thinks Jt can be dene gracefully. That is the order -equlrlng all screens to be taken down. Some of the saloons have put back their fccrevns lu the tome jwsitlon as they were before the order wan isrued , but mol of tl.era are still compelled to have their cus tomers exited to the public gaze while In the Irrigation process , An amusing story Is told of one saloon keeper and his landlord " " , and the "quarrel" between them which Isd to the screens being put back in place. 'Fearing that the enforce ment of the law would result In the place having to close for want of patronage , the landlord and his tenant brought legal pro ceedings to enjoin his tenant from remov ing the Kcreeus , alleging 'that the screens wcr : part of the building , and if torn down the building would be irretrievably Injured. The saloon keeper , it is said , not only obeyed the order requiring him to abstain from tearing down any more of the screens than he had already done , but he even went so far as to put back what had already been torn down. Some of the saloon men claim to have been told by persons in whom they have the greatest confidence to go on and put back their fccreens and they will stand the cense quences. There is a great feeling through out business circles .against the enforcement of the law , and It is believed that the war fare between the city authorities and the saloon men , backed by the business men. may yet present some interesting features. OBJECT TO UAZE.Vs METHODS. Cltlrcns Somewhat SnrjirUcd at the Liberty Given tbe hberisr * "Trottles. " A rather unique tate of affairs prevails at the county Jail Just now. Bob Scott , who is serving out a sentence for stealing a lot of household art cles frcm a disreputable house on Pierce street , his been given charge of the keys , and during the greater part of the day he practically has full control of the movements of the prisoners. Sheriff Haien is either at his office or about some business that takes him away from the jail much of the time , and he hss no deputy to look after the prisoners. When any prisoner Is to be turned In cr out Scstt acts as deputy. Just who Is responsible for this state of affairs it is hard to find out. The Board of Supervisors allows the sheriff enooph depu ties to do an the work that is to be done , but if It has been stingy in its manner of deal ing out cocnty funds in the sheriff's depart ment there is a feeling that it should meet with a change of heart at once and do works meet for repentance , in order that the citi zens of Council Bluffs .need not fear the rather unpleasant experience of having twenty-nine prisoners , some of them desper ate characters , turned cut among them. Sheriff Hazen , when questioned about the matter yesterday , stated that Scott was a trusty , which , in the dialect of the county Jell , means that the sher.ff hss enough con fidence in him to believe that he trill not run away if he get * a chance. There are a number of thieves and blacklegs now con fined In ths county Jail at night , but during the day are allowed to wander at will about the jail yard and almost any place else in ths vicinity , fsr they come under the head of "trusties. " Some of them are now under indictment by the grand jury and -others are waiting a trial for various crimes. "Within the past few months complaints have been made to The Bee by people living near the court bouse , or whose business takes them there sometimes , on account of the free and easy way In which Sheriff Karen's prisoners loaf about their premises , entsrtiln their hired girls , and do other pleasant little things. The matter will probably be brought up at the next meeting o [ the supervl = ors , who will be asked to make some rules for the conduct of the JaU. Cutting a New Channel. For the past two" weeks the "Big Muddy" has been making a big cut into the farms along its banks south of town , but while It has taken , some big slices they are small compared to tfie big cuts. T.

Prof. Angir of DBS Molnes was In the city yesterday , and in the evening met with the members of the various young people's so cieties of the churches , in the parlors of the First Presbyterian church , for the purpose of making a talk upon the subject of the duty of the members t > f euch societies to government. His talk was a remarkably strong one , dealing with the abuses that are so prevalent in local governments. He de nounced the disregard of law by the people , and gave it as his opinion that the respon sibility for this disregard lay with the city governments in large part by reason of their neglect to enforce the law. He upokc of the action of the mayors of many large cities in nullifying the laws against Sabbath breakIng - Ing and drunkenness In particular when large political or other conventions were in session and the young people were exhorted to put themselves on the side of the law and morality.

Word was seat to the police headquarters yesterday morning from a man named Jones , who lives on North Eighth street in the vicinity of tbe brick yards , to have tbe patrol wagon sent to his bouse after a child that had been left there. Early in the morning a hack drove up to the door and a woman alighted with a babe in her arms. She left tbe babs with the man of the bouse , much cgalnct his will , and Immediately re-entered the hack and drove back to town. The woman , it was afterwards learned , was one Mary Christensen , who will be remembered by readers of The Bee as having been plaintiff in a damage suit against Oswald Peterson In which she demanded judgment by reason of Peterson being responsible for her being a mother. She was working for Jones as housekeeper about a year ago. She was summoned to the police station and put through a course of questioning , as the statutes nicke it a penitentiary offense for a parent to abandon a child. She took the wind out of the sails of the authorities , however , by protesting that Jones was the father of the child and as such would have to take care of it. Jones violently protested against this and tbe child was taken to the Christian home. The child was just a week old , having been born at St. Bernard's hospital.

Mr. Uhl finds after examination of the case that Kisminski was a native-Pol . who came to the United States after having taken part In the unsuccessful revolution of 1563. He saj-B : "There is no naturalization treaty between the two countries and no treatv limitation upon the power of either povem"- faent to proceed urainst foreign nations or subjects returning to its territory for an offense prior to emigration. It is held by Russia that emlsrailapwithout imperial consent is an offense liable to punishment upon th > return of tbe offender witatn Ras- sion Jarisdictionwhether he "has been naturalized in thetn anttme or not. The penalty of deportation to Siberia Is , it would seem , rarely applied , and the de partment cannot conjecture ther ground of exile in this instance unless it be the ante cedents of Mr. Kismlnski are deemed to warrant exceptionable severity of treat ment.
