Douclas oounty supports, directly and Ph

than would appear at first glnnre. Aftirie
from the regular army of county offlclnls
and their deputies and clerks, there. Is tho
very large array of tnlent, muscle and
cleverness nttsrhert to the district court In
one capacity nr another. Only a very little
thought Is required to reiillio thut this army
of court officials Is a big thing In Itself.
Tnrt of It lays off threo months In the ye;ir
and draws no salary; but there is another
part of It whlrh draws salnry all the year
round, that is paid by the state.- The total
bill Is In the neighborhood of $Ky0 nn
nualljv
To begin with there are seven- judges of
the district court in this county, each
drawing 12,500 it year. Theft there are
seven official stenographers, ticli drawing
tl.soo a year. These salaries are paid by
the state.
There Is one bailiff In each court with
the exception of the criminal branch, where
there urn two, making eight In all. These
bailiffs draw 1900 a year each, at the rate
of $75 a month. This pny goes on during
the summer vacation of three months.'
the four others and the hours of actual
session are shorter. Law Is scrappy nd
contentious; equity Is smooth and calm,
albeit strict on Interpretation.
Bo In computing the army that waits the
rail of the courts of Douglas county, and
gets paid for answering, we must count In
judges, lawyers, bailiffs. Jurors, witnesses,
hotel keepers, doctors, reporters, male and
femnlo. old and young in all a right goodly
number. '
And a late addition to the hosts that
wait on and enjoy some of the largess of
local Juftlce Is the Juvenile court, with Its
probation officer and a full set of Judi
cial machinery. This class of cases Is to
J add something In the number of witnesses.

Once in a while the county treasury gets

Jurors and Witnesses.
Every three weeks while court la In ses
ion 120 cltlaens good and true are drawn
v for Jury service. On art average 90 to 100
of these will be available for service, after
all legitimate cxcuhcs have been ex
hausted. These draw pay at the rate of
$2 per day for Ave days In each week, un
less caught on a case which drags over
Saturday, when they get pnld for every day

alt In the court rooms or corridors for
days. In some Instances, awaiting their
call to testify. Their fees, like the gas
meter, keep on piling up Just the same.
In the nscul year of 1903 the cost to the
county for witnesses and Jurors in the
district court amounted to $37,551.90. To
board Jurors on hung cases during tho
same year cost $704.25. Besides this the
grand Jury and Its witnesses cost $1.11.50.
Once In a while a physician Is called to
attend a sick Juror, though not often, and
the fee la $5.
i In the fiscal year of 1903 lawyers as
signed by the court to defend pauper
prisoners cost the county $.1,415. Figures
for 1904 are not available, but the cost Is
not likely to be any less; It will probably
bo more. This Is another division of the
Court army that Is sometimes lost sight
of; but Justice Is Joalous of her reputation
and will let not even the guilty man go
undefended.
. In a Smaller Way.
Justices and constables get In the way of
fees from the district court $300 to $400
year.. What are known as "fees In state
cases" are po bagatelle. They bring to a
largo number of people, In small amounts,
an average of $6,000 a year, .'"Miscellane
ous" will take $3,000 more, which getB Into
the hands of an unnamed but no. less sub
stantial portion-of: the army.- it
For 1904 the cost of witnesses for the
threa terms of the district court, aa shown
by the books of County Clerk Drexet, was
$3,009.40. This was divided for the three
terms as follows: Winter, $955.20; spring,
$644.40; fall. $1,459.80.
During the same year there was paid out
for Jurors' fees the following sums: Janu
ary, 6, $4,537.50; May 19, $8.b01.20; June 10,
$236; July 1. $6,375.40; December 81, $3,926.0
a otal of $23,676.30. To this should be added
the cost of subsistence, as noted above,
probably In the neighborhood of $800.
In passing It may bo said that the army
of Jurors maintained by the county for al
most two-thirds of the year Is not a very
hard-working detachment. Sometimes half
of the panel will be excused from day to
day, awaiting the argument of law points
or the convenience of the lawyers. It

It will be seen from the foregoing that

incidentally quite a little toward furnish

tertainment was amusing. The neat little
theater whs well tilled with high school
boys and their friends and every number
on the program was greeted with uproar

of the entertainment was a burlesque, "An

strength of the club took part and In
which the recruiting officer, L,teutuiiunt

any squud that has ever udorned the high

Ernest Hay ward was yolter. Everybody
did well.
The high school orchestra furnished
music for the evening In a satisfactory
manner. An octette composed of Messrs.
Mould, Ing, F. Hoffman and W. Hoffmun
Conunt, Rryson, Steel and Dorward, sang
pleasingly. II. Thorn was the accom
panist. Caroline Conklln played a . dif

he was required to come out and sing

There la to be a large fraternal picnic there

Last year the Omaha High school was
poorly represented, owing to conflicting

Waterhouse thinks the fete day Idea is a
good one and wants to encourage It. He
will take it" up with his students at an
early date and find out how many will go:

T. P. A. GROWTH IN NEBRASKA
State Now Entitled to Tea Delegates
In the National Convention
of the Order.
The Travelers' Protective association bow
has 710 members in Nebraska. This means
that the association is entitled to ten dele
gates to the national convention in Savan
nah, in place of nine. A spirited rivalry for
the additional place has sprung up. Nine
men were named at the state convention in
Nebraska City two weeks ago, but the
tenth man will be named by the directors.
The association has gained eighty-nine
members since the last national meeting
and It is expected that this will be made
100 within the year. Forty-four of these
members have ben gained since the Ne
braska City meeting. Nebraska has held
the steer-horn trophy fur the greatest an
nual per cent in gain of members for three
years, but will lose it this time. The as
sociation has grown ao large that the per
centage of gain is smaller all the time.
It Is probable South Carolina will gvt tba

will leave here May 9 for Savannah.

WOMAN RESISTS TWO ROBBERS
Miss Fanny Perry Puts to Flight
Pair of Highwaymen by
Prompt Action.
A lone woman, with no other weapons
than her arms and a handbag full of silver,
put two would-be highwaymen to flight irt
an unceremonious manner Thursday night.
The heroine la Miss Fanny Perry, solicitor
for the Child Saving Institute. She had
been collecting money all day and had a
goodly store of Mlver in her bag when she
pnwted along Park avenue between Mason
and Pacific streets soma time after dark.
After passing two client men who sat to
gether on the curb she was startled to hear
footsteps behind her and turned In time to
sea one of the men preparing to snatch her
bag. Miss Perry Is as husky as the average
man and she Is not afraid. The stranger
stopped as If uncertain whether or not to
continue hostilities, but when the angry
woman stepped toward him and swung the
heavy bag about her head he hesitated no
longer, but took to his heels. His compan
ion called to him not to run frAm a woman,
but he knew not whereof he spoke. With
a few quick steps she waa upon him, and
he, too, sought refuge In flight. The two
were still running when thpy went out of
sight around the corner.
Raid on tho Ratable.
While a social was being conducted In
the Westminster Presbyterian church last
evening It waa discovered that a gang of

succeeded in carrying off their choice of
the many good things the ladies had pro

covered the young fellows made a haxty
departure up a dark allpy near tne church
before any of them couud be recognised.
Dr. Thomas V. Moore was very Indignant
at the intended assault upon the leu cream
and cake, and at hla request a polio man
was sent to the church In ordnr that an
example might be made of some of the
bnys who have been very artlve In con
ducting such raids In that vicinity for some

"PlirlllS still by fame and by name. Empires rise and fall:
Statesmen come and go: winter follows summer, and night follows
day but Blind's Pltrlast is always the same, because it is brewed
under the same formula, from the best bops and malting barley that
money can buy, under the "Gund Natural PrOOItt." It is marvel
lously rich, nutritious and rejuvenating, and would gladden the
heart of the most skillful diplomat in Washington.
"it is sparkling and mellow, it is snappy and clear,
And your palate will tell you it's the finest of beer."
Aged for months and bottled only at the brewery. Sold at all high
class bars, but you must ask fpr it. Have a case delivered to your
home.
