When the Board of Supervisors ot Poltu
wattamlo county appointed an asslstan
county attorney , whoso duties are to loo' '
after nil state caeca In the courts ot th
Justices of the peace , It wag with the In
tcntloii of reducing the expenses of con
ducting such cases and to sa.vo the count
from being taxed for numerous trivial case
which should never have been enlertalne
by the magistrates. In the past the docket
of the Justice courts , copccinlly In the city
.have been filled with cases alleging th
minor offenses nnd which have proven
source of great expense to the taxpayers n
this county. Having In view the purpos
for which ho wns appointed , Afslstan
County Attorney Clem Klmball has draw :
up an agreement that Is iutended to furtha
assist In correcting the existing abuses litho
the courts of the Justices of the peace , Th
agreement Is as follows :
Whereas , In the prosecution of the mlno
public offenses , so numerous In this countj
the county la put to unnecessary cxpens
rnd guilty persons csrnpe punishment by th
failure of witnesses to appear and prosecut
' r by the full uro of the prosecuting wltnes
to glvo conect or reliable Information to th
authorities or of the accusers lo know full
the circumstances connected \ \ 1th the ul
leged offense ; nnd berauso in some Instance
it develops that the criminal procedure of th
Inferior courts Is used for spite or reveng
or to galti some private advantage at pub
He Ptpense ; nnd.
Whereas , Wo nre desirous to serve th
best Interests of the county and are con
fldcnt that a definite understanding and co
operation between maRlstrates of th
county , especially In the city and the prosecuting
ocuting attorney , will be conducive < o
hotter administrate"1 ! ! of Justice by the ring
Istratesho should not bo prosecutors UDder
dor the law ; therefore ,
It is understood and agreed by the un
derslgned magistrates of Potit.awaiU.aml
county and the attorney appointed to prosecute
ecuto before them , Hint In all cases excep
where 'the urgency of the case demand
otherwise , the Justice or magistrate shal
ascertain whether rtho prosecuting wltucF
'T the person accusing another has pcisono
knouledge of th.2 facts , or has attempts
to fllo nn Information elsewhere * , and wh
and how ninny are the witnesses , whos
itcEtlmony will tend to p&ieibllsh the of
foniso or refer the acuusliiff party to thi
assistant county attorney before filing ni
Information. And in all cases where it shal
appear that the persons desiring to file ai
Information has a hno-vledge of the fact
only by hearsay or has or knows of no othc
wltn.css of ithe facts or circumstances , o
\\here the cas. seems doubtful for any rea
son , that In nny such events the magistral' '
will refer such person to the nsslstan
county attorney before filing an laformatioi
against the accused. That in all cases whcr
nn Information has been filed wlttout refer
Ini ; the same to the assistant county ati'.or
ney , the magistrate will as soon ns posslhl
aftpr the accused has entered a. plea of no
g'lllty and before 'the witnesses for the prose
cutlon have been subpoenaed , refer thi
prosecuting witness -to the assistant count ;
attorney , wltli the undcrstnndlnR that unless
loss ho so appears and gives the names o
the witnesses to support the rhargo the- In
formation will bo dismissed on motion nm
the ecsts taxed to him.
That In n'l cases of such nature reforre <
bv nny magistrates assistant county nt
torneylll file the necessary Information litho
the court referring the sameto him ; am
said assistant county attorney shall attem
to the prosecution of the case , giving tin
constable the names of the witnesses foi
the ttuto necessary ito be subpoenaed foi
the trial.
Council Uluffs has two magistrates , Jua-
tleo Ovfdr * Vlcn and Justice J. J. Ferrler
The latter signed the agreement when ll
was -presented to him by the nsslatnni
eounty attorney , but Justice Vlcn refused
pipferrlng to run his own court without
any suggestion.
Justice Vlcn , when asked what objectloi
he had to signing an agreement that was
only Intended to help save the taxpayers
expense , said ho did not feel that there It
nny iiMeiflty for an assistant county attor
ney nnd that he Intended , as he had done h
the past , to use his onn discretion as tc
filing Informations in cases 'brought bt-
fore him.
There la nothing In the law that compete
nny justice to refer nny ca'o to the assistant
county attorney before filing nn Information
and the consequence has been that tlu
dockets have been filled with the mosl
trivial of cases Involving nothing more sorl-
our than a mere neighborhood or fnmllj
misunderstanding or actions brought bj
porsors out ofspllo or revenge. The cost.-
In these cases never run less than $3 nnd
In many Instances amount to twice that
amount and these costs the county Is cnllo'1 '
upon to pay and the money haa to come enl
of the pockets of the taxpayers. Even In
cases \\hore the charge has been dismissed
against the defendant for want of prosecu
tion nnd the costs taxed to the plaintiff the
county Invariably has to pay them Just the
same , ns It la doubtful If there is n single
case on record where an attempt has bcei
made to collect the costs from the part )
taxed , It was to nvoid such abuses that Mr ,
Klmball submitted the agreement to the
Justices for their consideration and ac
ceptance ,

The science of osteopathy was discovered
hy Dr. A T Still ot Klrksvllle. Jlo. Dr.
Still reasoned that a natural How of blood
Is health , and disease Is the effect of local or
general disturbance of the blood ; that to
txcllo nerves causes muscles to contract and
compress venous flow ot blood to Hie heart ,
and the bones could bo used OB levers to
relieve pressure on nerves , \elns and ar
teries.
A slight strain or a sudden Jolting may
easily cause a displacement of bone , muscle ,
tendon or organ , and a consequent pressure
un the nerves , thus breaking the nerve wave
between the brain and the part Injured ,
and wo then may ha\o as a result any of
the numerous ailments caused from lack
of ncrvo supply to parts. Seldom is there
i permanent cure until the machinery la
righted. Ilcnco we treat lieadacho ( all
kinds ) , weak eyes , catarrh , hay fever , en
larged tonsils , goiter , asthma , broncliltls ,
leafness. Irregularities of the heart , nou-
lalgla or rheumatism ( of any part ) , spinal
