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.

Enlarging the Boclitole.
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.

Court Decisions.
Condemned to Destruction.
DCS MOINES , la. , March 7. ( 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. _

DKS MOINES , la. , March 7.In the morning
session of the senate , after several bills had
been introduced , Woolson continued his
speech commenced yesterday afternoon
speaking on the question 6f "undue or un
reasonable" discriminations. 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. " Ho
stntcd cases whore excursion rates hnd
been given to various religious nnd bene
volent societies ; tlcnjed that U. S. Wilson
had ever moved to strike out the words "un
due or unreasonable ; " said wo must let the
railronds uetermirio rates. Every state thnt
has allowed the commissioners to llx rates
has made these rules pn iaa-fuco ! evidence of
reasonableness.
Finn spoke again , favoring the bill without

Itcnl Wur Times ,
The "Union Spy" tjwnv 'another lat-Ro
house last ovettlWg. This -is ono'o'f the
best entertainments ever given-hero by
local talent. . The .participants do silr-
prisingly well for non-professionals , and'
few strangers , not knowing the forma
tion of the company , would suspect that
is as amateurish ns it really J9. The
'entertainment is n little lone , hut thcro
Bcotns no part which can bo spared , and
the interest is kept up throughout. The
scones are very realistic , and it pre
sents a m'oro vivid , picturing of war
scones than any others that can bo had.
The older people enjoy it for it brings
back these exciting djys , and they al
most live them over. The young folks
learn moro about the war In an hour
than they cad get by rending in months.
There is enough morrinlent interwoven
with the Mulder scenes to prove a happy
relief. The Dodge Light Guards make
a line appearance on the stage , and the
military movements are excellent. The
audiences have been enthu'siastio , and
no homo entertainment lias proved moro
thoroughly excellent nml enjoyable.
As the proceeds nro for the benefit of
the guards , the house to-night should
bo crowded , and a closing benefit given
which will place the treasury of this
military company in a plethoric con
dition. The company is one of which
the city may well feel proud , and the
boys surely merit support.
