tuln 1'lnKineiii the ' Authorities
Hcllevc Their Order Is it
lust One,
Id accordanco with the Instructions given
by tht city council at Its meeting Monday
night. Mayor Jennings yesterday notified
tho railroad companies that they would he
henceforth required to maintain arc lights
Rt tho points where their tracks crossed the
streets of tho city. Thero are already
lights at a number of these points, which
liavo been maintained by tho city, but the
authorities aro of the opinion that the
burden should fall upon the railroads. In
addition to maintaining tho lights already
established, they will bo required to es
tablish lights nt points which aro not al
ready Illuminated.
Tho Intersections where tho railroads will
bo required to maintain electric lights are

Tho clfy council Is of tho opinion that
It has tho authority to "enforco tho main
tenance of lights at theso railway crossings
for tho benefit nnd safety of tho public.
Many of tho points where tho lights aro
ordered to bo :nalntnlncd aro regarded as
dangerous crossings and tho aldermen feol
that as long as tho railroads havo not been
required to koop flagmen at theso Places
they can havo no valid objection to main

COUNTY ATTORNEY'S REPORT
He SliiMin Hint Ofllclnl Are Conscien
tious In tlir Mnttcr of
Fees,
Assistant County Attorney" Kimball com
pleted his annual report for 1001, which ho
will submit to tho Hoard of County Super
visors today.
Tho total number of cases In the local
Justice courts was 251, and 71 outside, tho
cly. The convictions were 109; acquittals,
71;, dismissed, 10; pending, 46.
Tho total cost of theso cases In the city
wns $1,30$. 70, nn avcrago of $5.57 a case.
Tho cost outside tho city was $601.81, an
avcrago of $8.47 a cose.
Mr, Klmbnll In his report says:
Jt Will be observed thnt tho niunhpr nt
convictions is almost twice tho number of
acquittals, nnd' that a largo "number .of
cases aro dismissed. The overage costs
per caso Is uiuch lower In the superior
court than In tho other courts, for tho
reason thnt tho superior court' Judge nnd
tho city marshal are paid salaries und not
In fees. The averago cost per cane Is also
slightly vnrled from yenr to year among
mo courts auuMs uue ran en to tno cnarnc
tcr of tho cases beforo tho court. Thero
Is tho utmost harmony between the various
courts and this ofllce and nil nld in maklne
tno expense to tno county nominal, and
while tho Justice court olllcers are com
pensated on tho cenrehenslblo nlnn of fees
It should be said that all such officers with
whom this olllco haa work nro exceedingly
conscientious and might In many cases in
crease the amount of their fees wero they
so Inclined. The greatest savlntr Is made
In whnt wns formerly paid In witness fees.
This Is largely dono In preventing prosecu
tions ror tne purpose or drawing such fees
by calling only necessary witnesses, and
by ns far ns possible calling them but for
ono day; However, oxpenso Is not spared
when It Is necessary to tho vigorous prose
cution of the guilty, upon the principle
that tho purpose for which public oxpenso
Is made Is of moro Importance than the
mere amount expended.
Tho following Is a comparative summary
of tho costs and fees paid by the county
for coses under my supervision In tho
criminal courts of tho city. Eighteen hun
dred and ninety-six being tho. last year be
fore tho office wns created nnd 1S97 aro
omitted becnuso tho expenses have never
been computed for that year:

It will bo seen that tho total nmount ex
pended by tho county Is less for this year
than last, nnd that tno cost on nn averago
per case Is also smaller, but It can hardly
e expected that It will continue to no so
low nil of the time. It Is worthy or noto
that ncurly $3,000 less Is chargeable against
tho county ror ineso enses uuring mo yenr
than In 1890.

from the amount of business tboy have

Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure
A healthy stomach, cupabloof dlgcstlnt? a cood, (squnro meal,
Is a great blessing. It keeps tho body strong by insuring plenty
of nourishment. In fact, It means perfect health. Dut some
thing must bo dono when tho stoniuch is so tired that it can't
digest what you cat, for undigested food poisons tho blood.
Wo cap recommend a preparation that completely digests all
classes of foods that Is Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It gives tho
stomach perfect rest and allows you to eat and enjoy tho variety
of food that is necessary for maintaining health. It never
fails to euro Indigestion, after everything elso haa failed. It is
pleasant to tako and can bo used In all conditions.
"For many years I suffered from chronic Indigestion, and It
scorned as though nothing was going to do ino any good. On
tho advice of a friend 1 commenced using Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
It gave mo lmmedlato relief and I continued Its use, until now
I feel that I am cured. "Henry F. Cramer, Wcndclvillo, N. 'i .

Stiff Joints
vCi51 ffll What a stiff joint needs
VlllW'&Cl Vll m0rc than anything else is .
Omega Oil. The next need is plenty of massage, or rub
bing. The rubbing makes the blood flow faster, and the
Oil loosens up and softens the hard, stiff places. The first
thing to do with a stiff joint in machinery is to oil it,
and then work it back
and forth until all the
stiffness is gone. Now,
as a matter of fact, your
body is a machine, not
of iron, but flesh, mus
cles and joints, and you
want to keep it well
oiled with Omega
Oil if you expect to
have it in good run
ning order. This is
common sense,
and every one
knows it to be
the truth.
