L FOR H JAIL Prospects Bright for the Building of a New County Jail. The prospects of a new Ja'l have begun to take on a more pleasing aspect. A committee appointed by the Commercial club to procure a Petition of the business men of the city and county asking that the mat ter be resubmitted, laid the matter before the board this morning. The petition was filed. In looking the matter up the Com mercial club has ascertained that an other election will not bo necessary, as the vote already cast last fall was sufficient to carry the proposition. That the authorities had overlooked the most Important flection of the law governing the construction of public buildings and based their action, or rather non-action, on sec tion 30 of chapter 18 of the compiled Ktalotcs of Nebraska, whereas the lat clause of section 23 of the same Young Man Paroled. A complaint was lodged with the county authorities against Richard Schlater of Louisville for being an Inobrlate, and the board had a meet ing today and heard the evidence, and as a result find that the accused is a fit person to be restrained at the asylum at Lincoln, but with a view of having the young man reform him self outside the asylum, paroled him during his abstalnance from the use of alcoholic liquors. The matter was left in the hands of Marshal C. M. Seybert of Louisville to report to the clerk of the district court every week. The young man was Informed If he violated his pledge he would be promptly sent up for three years. lit' BOARD HOLDS MEETING Transacts Great Deal of Business at Their Session.

If I l'..l..,l'l..l. chapter Is the one which probably nmi c. it. .Ionian, county commissioners; controls. Section 30 directs the commission er to act In such matters when the Improvement has been ordered by two-thirds of the votes cast. While section 25 and lis amendments plain ly states that action may bo taken by the board when the Improvement of buildings Is ordered at a genoral or fpoclal election and a majority of the legal votes cast thereon shall favor the proposition. The last mentioned section Is sup ported by a decision of tho Nebraska supremo court In a case entitled Fen ton, vs. Yule, and reported In the 43 N. W. . In this case the court harmonizes the two sections of chap ter 18 by holding In Hiibstanco that flection 30 would apply only In Uioro liiHtances where not by Implication repealed by the amendments to sec tion 25. From the reading of Bection 25 and the decision above referred to, there can hardly bo a question but tho peo ple are entitled to have a new Jail, as a majority of the legal votes cast at tho election last fall have declared for the proposition. About all there remains to be done Is for the county board to Includo the amount voted for the Jail In the levy when It Is made this summer. This matter has been placed In the hands of the county attorney, and on his advice the commissioners will prob ably act. The most common causo of ln fomnla Is disorders of the stomach.

YOUNG MAN IS FINED FOR FIGHTING SUNDAY As a Beuil of the disturbance on the street last Sunday evening, one of the pugilistic gentlemen was com plained against by Chief Raluey and a warrant Issued for him yesterday. Ho was arrested and brought before tho court, but pleaded not guilty and t-ald he acted In self defense, and as there were no witnesses In court tho matter was put over until this morn ing, when three persons who saw the affray told tho court their version of It. After hearing the testimony the court did not agree with tho accused that self defense was necessary; that although the first blow was struck by the other party to the trouble, It had been provoked by the offensive lan guage of the prisoner at the bar.
