Ihc Court.House Dedication. ' The cxoreises dedicating the new county court house wcro hold yesterday afternoon. No programme wns pre viously announced nor was there an at tempt made to follow ono. The ad dresses were mostly impromptu , but perhaps wore none the less excellent on that account. For nn-hour or moro before - fore the exercises were began great crowds of peoplo'crowded the corridors and visited the various ofllccs and other rooms in the edilicc. These wcro mostly sight-seers who had not until now , visited the building : Praises of the structure and its beauty wcro upon cvqry tongue and a conscious pride'was 'in-every voice. The building wns in fairly'good shape'fpr inspection. Thcro' iVero occasional'traces of "moving day" which on account Of lack of time since the coming of the county officers into their now quarter1'had not wholly dis appeared. Among the visitors were many from distant parts of the county. Thcro wcro few'absentees among the members of Alio bar. Judge Deemer adjourned court iu Cass'county that ho might bo prc-ent. ' Judge Carson was also present , ns were also several legal ' lights fr.om other place's outside the - county , but embraced' in this judicial district. Shortly after 2 o'clock , the hour named for the beginning of tho'exer cises , the north court room was filled to its utmost i'apa'i'Hyas wcro also the corridors riders and all places wUhin hearing distance of the speakers. 'Mr. Under wood.chairman of the board of super- visorsj occupied the position of master of ceremonies. ; The exercises wcro ' opened with an invocation by the Rov. , T. J. Mnckoy , of St. Paul's Episcopal ' Church. The chairman read the report of the board , in their action as a build ing committee. The substance of this report has been already given inthe' columns of the BKK. Colonel D. B. Daily wofl introduced , as the llrst speaker. Ho reviewed briefly the history of the building from its in ception to 'its completion and paid the board of supervisors a well-dcsoryed compliment in the lact that the build ing was erected with duo economy and with no taint of boodle about it. There was absolutely nothing which would in terfere with making the day festive and one long to bo remembered , as that in whicli a glorious and grand thing had been accomplished in Pottawatta- mic county. Colonel W. II. M. Pusoy followed in the same vein. " lie said : "It has' been said that the history of a people in writ ten in its arts and architecture. In the light of this fact ho reviewed the his ' tory of the county. The first minister who came hero was , an itinerant Meth odist. Ho circulated among the gam blers asking aid for l is cause. These gen tlemen of the "green cloth" started the first church by donating every "jack pot" to the cause ! Ho traced the pro gress of.tho county until now and closed with this strong appeal to young men : "Not many days and our. silver locks will lie with thosoof our fathers. Young men you must take our places. What preparation arc you making-for * this re sponsibility ? How will you assume , these duties ? Will you stand upon tho' , street corners and loaf away the oppor - tunities of life , or will you take them up with resolute hands nnd strong hearts - and win from the futuro'a golden sue- CCHsV Hon. C. F. Loofbourow next appeared. Ho reviewed the admission of lojva into the union ; the opposition that existed in congress to admitting any portion west of the Racoon river , as it was - a barren waste , nnd a desox't. Now this was the greatest . corn producing county in the state. Ho referred to she differences between the legal jurisprudence of forty years ago and that of to-day. Ho appealed to the people to nwho this building what in name It is , a tompla of justice. Judge II. E. Deomoi' tpolcuf ) the same line of thought. Ilevo in this county where sentiment' ifc largely adverse to law "let justice bo done though the heavens full. " Judge George Carson reinforced the game sentiments. "Lct this bo your record , that-within these walls , every man , whether he bo rich or poor , shall have exact justice. I et the golden rule bo inscribed upon every heart. This is the basis of golf-government which is our sure foundation. Then wo shall have less use for courts and juries. Hon. D. C. Bloomer. Frank Shinn , Colonel W. P.SappClmrlesM.Harlo and E. A. Babcock , oiAvocapvoro called on ! and , in telling speeches , added to the merit and enjoyment of the occasion. t- Teis closed the exorcises of the day. There was no muslo , cither vocal or in strumental , which fact seriously marred - the effects of the otherwise creditable . programme. Throughout the entire ex- orcFbos there was a painful lack of or US ganization and perfection. With three .1- exceptions , the speakers apologized for lack of preparation , ns they had not boon previously notified that they would be called upon . Pottawattamie county has just com pleted ono of the llnest structure ? in the west. It was announced by the board of supervisors tliat the dedicatory ex orcises would bo commensurate with y ; the importance of the work now com pleted. This announcement was made throughout the county. Inquiries were made on every hand as to what these .11 exercises would consist in. but the re 50 plies were so meager and gave so little satisfactory information that the attend ance was materially decreased. Many persons from abroad who had iiftondcd bo to bo present did not appear , and a largo number residing in the city were thus kept at homo. The absence of the business men of the city was marked. That which might have been and ought to have boon u gain day for Council Bluffs and the county at targe proved to bo'butlittlo more than an ordinary oc casion , with all the attendant disad vantages of an impromptu gathering. loy S.

A scheme is on foot to make extensive changes in the Bechtolo hotel , whereby its present facilities will bo greatly in creased. As soon ns a meeting of the mortgagees of the property can bo ar ranged and some kind of a settlement made , the plans will assume dclinito shape. It is the intention to add an other story to the part already standing , and extend the whole as far back as the alloy. An elevator will bo put in nnd all modern improvements added. If built as planned , the hotel would then contain about eighty-five rooms , and would bo four tories in i hoighth. Some of the interested parties scorn to think that if such a change is made , it will kill the project to erect n now seven- story hotel that is now being agitated by the board of trade , but siieh an , idea would hardly bo entertained by others.

( Special Tele gram to the llKE. ] The supreme court de cided a very important cas.0 under the pro hibitory law to-day , making a now departure in the interpretation of the statutes. About a year ago a cur load of liquors , valued nt (8,000 , consigned to Hurlbut , Hess & Co. , wholesale druggists , arrived hero from St. Louis and was seized by a constable before It wns unloaded. The warrant for the seizure was sworn out on testimony that it was be- llovcd that the firm Intended to sell the liquor for Illegal purposes , instanc ing two cases of sales to ha- bltunl drunkards. The liquor wns condemned by a Justice of the peace mid ordered destroyed. The defendants appealed on the ground that for the sales in question they had the certificate of the buyer that he wanted it for legal purposes and they claimed that his signature excused them from further Inquiry. Judge Given , of the district court , sustained the defense nnd ordered the liquor returned , An appeal was taken to the supreme court und 1ms just been decided. The court holds that the signature of the buyer claiming Unit his purchase If for legal purposes docs not excuse the. seller from the necessity of finding out whether ho be or bo not an habitual drunkard ilnd so under the bun pf the law. It holds 'that the seller Is required to sntify himself that he is a proper person to whom to sell , before the sale is made , whatever 'application or other legal form ho may sign. This Is the llrst ruling on that point from the supreme court and it not only condemns the $8,000 worth of liquor but establishes a rule which will re quire liquor sellers to exercise great care in fill sales oven to Urn extent of llndlng out for what purpose the Hquo'r sold is to be used nnd by whom. _ Supreme Court Decisions.

Ho said the house bill passed by that body recogubed an ' unjust" discrimination , as did also the re publican platform and the law of Illinois. He cited a report made by Judge Cooley on the celebrated Standard oil Case of George Rice vs the Louisville & Nashville railroad company , where preference was given ns "unjust or unrensonnble.
