Queer Prosecution.
The case of .lames LOCH , charged with
etnbe/.i'.ling from the Richmond Tea
company , came up again before Justice
Kiggs yesterday. The case is exciting
much comment , not only because of th"
largo amount which Richmond claims to
have lost by Lees' peculiarities , but on
account of the queer way the case has
been shaping. Now that Lees is ar
rested , the prosecution seems bent on
getting him released , and it looks as if
there was homo sort of an understand
ing between the pro ccut in and the
defense. Richmond was willing to go
on his bond , and has in other ways
showed a disinclination to prosecute
sharply.Vhon the case was called yes
terday Mynstor & Lindt appeared for
Lees and asked for a continuance. They
said that Attorney Holmes was really in
charge of the case , and they were
simply assisting. As Mr. Holmes could
not bo present thuy wanted
the case continued until some
moro convenient season. Colonel
Daily , the county attorney , was hot.
He said that ho had allowed the defend
ant to have two continuances. The
prosecution and the defense were prac
tically all defense , and if the prosecut
ing witness had shown half as much
anxiety to got an attorney for the de
fendant as ho had shown to get bonds
for him there would have been no lack
of attorneys , and the examination could
proceed. After some further sharp talk ,
it was agreed that the case .should go
over until this afternoon at - o'clock.
Attorney Lindt duMicd to have an op
portunity to examine the books of the
lompany. Colonel Daily remarked that
thiti was not a case of financial settle
ment between the firm and Lees , but it
was a charge of ombe//lemont. Mr.
Richmond , however , consented that Mr.
Limit might examine the books , and
gain such information as he desired to
help Lees out. There seems to bo a
strange relationship connecting the
prosecution and the defense , and public
curiosity is aroused to have the true in
wardness shown up.

At last it may be said , and said truly ,
that the credit of the city of Council
BlulTs is good at home and abroad.
That this is so is a cause for gratifica
tion to every property owner in the city.
AVhen the present council assumed con
trol of the city's alTair.i they found that
the bonds , executed on the various im
provements , paving , intersection , etc. ,
were depreciated in every market from
10 to 15 per cent. These securities were
being hawked about the country by
speculators who realixed a handsome
profit from their investments. When
Mayor Rohrer took his seat ho ad
dressed himself particularly to this
matter. Before the various committees
were appointed ho declared in open
council that the credit of the city must
bo protected and this responsibility
and burden must rest largely with
the finance committee. That com
mittee was appointed , with Alderman
Weaver as chairman. That gentleman
then held city contracts , which work
was to bo dono'during the present vear ,
and in order to release himself from all
possible criticism and the complications
which this connection would entail , ho
throw up these contracts. The action
of this committee then has been solely
in the city's interest , as no member o (
it has been directly boneliUed by this
change in tlie financial pohey. In plac-
Insr the city bonds at their 'par value
there were serious obstacles to over
come. A single instance will sulllco to
illustrate. The contract price for the
Broadway paving was jl.J ( ! bonds , 01
$1.5. " ) cash. Had the contractors re
ceived the bonds they would have sold
them at such a price as they could got
and reali/.e an immediate return. Coultl
they get Sl.oo they would ha\c
been satisfied , and the dilTerenci
would have gone into the pockets
of speculators- . The fa 'o of the bonds
( il.Ol per yard ) would have been taxed
against the abutting property. Yester
day , after a great deal of hard work
Chairman Weaver sold thcso bonds
amounting to $100,000 , at their pai
value , reali/.ing one hundred cents or
the dollar. This is a saving to the prop
erty owners of nine cents per yard. Ii
shuts speculators and places the
credit of the city upon a fcolid basis. Noi
alone have these bonds been sold , bu
there are ready buyers for the bonds tt
bo issued upon work not yet uonipletet
or begun. Honor to whom honor ii
duo , and the llnanco committee will
Mayor Rohror are entitled to the grate
ful thanks of the city for this change ii
financial policy.

Attorney Sims' Denial.
The Olobo , which is the rceognl/ei
organ of the democracy and of th
saloons , has been making as vicious at
tacks as its feebleness would permit
against Mr. Jacob Sims , who has bee
serving as attorney for the prohibition
ists. These charges are to the ollet
that Mr. Sims has been blackmallin
the saloon mon , and that money hu
been paid him at different times and b
dilTorent parties for the purpose of ii
ducing him to lot up on the prosecutioi
Mr. Sims has lived here for yearsan
has made for himself a record to honoi
able as to bo proof against such attack !
These who know him well deman
something strQiigor than the sttxtemei
of a democratic editor to cause them I
lese faith in his honesty. V/lmtovi
dilToroneos of opinion may exist as totl :
prohibition question , or as to the e :
1 pedioncy of an attorney being so earne
in the attempt to enforce the law , thei
are , very few who are tit all familiar wit
Mrs. Sims' character who will belie >
Unit ho cyor took a bribe Or ncceptt
money unlawfully.
Mr. Sims was asked by tv HUB mr
what ho had to say about the charge
"I have nothing special to suy , boyoii
the denial that tjiero is any truth to tl
charges. 1 will give $10 for ovcry 10
cents which they win prove ( lint
I took unlawfully' or dishonor
ably. U is said that naloon
men have paid mo money. That is In
one1 sense true , but it is only half the
truth. In all these saloon eases the law
gives the atto-ney a certain fee. When
judgment' ' have been obtained the court
fixes the amount of attorney's fee , and
this is taxed up with the co-.ts. In some
cases the saloon men have paid the at
torney fee to the clerk , sometimes to the
shoritT , and sometimes to me. In some
cases a saloon man has come to me and
declared his intention to quit the busi
ness and would sign an agreement to
that otTect. They did not want any moro
costs piled up. and would pay what had
been made , and also a reasonable fee.
In such cases as 1 have settled in this
manner I have charged only the mini
mum fee allowed me by the law. Some
who have thus agreed to stop have violated
lated the agreement , as I believe , and
gone to selling again. All such I begin
prosecutions against. Aside from tliu
attorney fee to which I am entitk-.u un
der the law. 1 defv any one to prove
that I have ever Uicen a cent. I have
been oiT i-od money time and again , but
have always refused to take it.and have
always informed the ones tendering it
that I was the attorney for thootherside
and could not accept it. Let them pro
duce any tlilTerent proof if they have it. "

Store Sewer Talk.
Contractor Moore makes an emphatic
denial of the statement that defective
sewer pipe is being used in any part of
tliu work he is doing under contract
with the city. The story that 1ms I > PCII
circulated that hu is using pipe which
has been condemned by Omaha con
tractors he pronounce * wholly false.
Ho says he has not used a foot of pipe
which was not shipped to him directly
from St. Louis. He says all the con
demned pipe in the. city is that which
ho has thrown out himself ; that he has
a yard to which this useless material is
taken ; that the yard is kept under lock
anil key for fear some of the pipe might
break out and get into a sewer. The
work on Sixth avenue is completed and
a largo number of broken joints are dis
tributed along the way This. hosiyslms !
probably given rise to the charges
\\hicli ifavo been made against the inn-
jrial he is using. Ho says ho is getting
better quality than has ever boon
sod in the city before ; that the pipe is
oing laid in sand , ( which has never
eon done before. ) As to the number
f connections being put into each lot ,
ic says ( and his statement is backed up
> y that of the city engineer ) in small
its , whore tlicre'is only one house , and
10 room for more , only one connection
s being put in ; but where there are
ots with a long frontage two and some-
imes three are put in. The reason as-
igned in that these lots are liable to be
ivided some time in the near future , in
vhich case ttieso connections would bo
oeded. This plan they think a better
mo than to be compelled to spoil sec-
ions of pipe , tear up the streets , etc. ,
n order to make these after
onnections. By having sewer eonnee-
ions each lot is made more valuable ,
ind as the work will have to bo done
.01110 . time it is better to do it now. The
naterial for laying the Seventeenth
ivonuo sewer is on the ground , and Mr.
Moore asks all person * who wish to
atisfy themselves regarding this mat-
, ur to come there and investigate for
honisolves.
How to Pave.
In view of the local discussion in re
gard to how wooden pavement shall be
aid , the following , from the last num
ber of the Engineering and Building
Record , is of interest :
In the summer of 1SSI5 a wood block
pavement was laid on Fifth avenue , be
tween Thirty-second and Thirty-third
treets. A good concrete foundation
ivas carefully laid to the proner grade
iintl transverse profiles ; on this blocks
f pine which had been dipped in dead
nl not thoroughly ereosoted were
aid in rows about one-eighth of an inch
ipart. Enougti bitumen was poured
nto the interstices to hold the blocks
n place , possibly a quarter of an inch
n depth ; the interstices were then
illed with a Portland cement concrete ,
the whole covered with a top dressing
) f hard clean gravel about the si/o of
, ioas , and when tlie concrete had time
to set trallle was turned on to the pave
ment.
This pavement has stood since then ,
t is believed. , without any other atten-
ion or repair : ) than sweeping. Ithasnot
oven received acoatingof gravel , which
n European practice it would have re
ceived , on the theory thai the gravel
rushing in between the end fibres of
the wood ill-events wear to some extent.
All this time it has been allnosl en
tirely free from noise. It has been
cleaner than any stone pavement in the
cily , and ha been the pleasiintest and
iafest piece of pavement in the city to
Irivo over.
Now through inefficient creosoting or
nheront weakness in some of the blocks
they have commenced to fail , and be
tween ono and two per cent of the pave
ment requires renewal.
Very Ijooso Ijnw.
It is but two nights binco a young man
of this city was mot upon the public
trcots by a prostitute and urged to ac
company her. Ho did so , and was-
horlly after sot upon and brutally
beaten by a couple of jealous thugs ,
Such instances as this of fallen women
parading the streets to ensnare youth'
ful victims are by no moans rare in this
city , yet the officials wink at it ant'
make no attempt to put a otop to it
Mayor Sawyer , of Lincoln , has jus
issued the following order to the mar
shal of that city :
I have been waiting patiently for yoi
to eradicate from our midst the numer
ous houses of prostitution that are i
curse to our city , yet they bcom to oxis
and flourish. At a recent meeting o
the police committee it was decided tlia
they must be broken up. Can you do it
If not , why not ? They have neither tin
law nor tlio public sentiment to sustaii
them , and I can see no reason why the ;
should bo tolerated. It is my order tha
you move on them at once.
Such an action on the part of Mayo
Rohrer , if resolutely followed up , wouli
soon do away with the existing state o
affairs in this city. The houses of ill
fame are permitted to run with will
open dooi-o , apparently without a though
from the city government , as long a
the depraved inmates are careful t <
contribute $15 a month to the city treas
ury. It is dilllcult to say just who is t
blame in the matter , but there i coi
talnly something wrong somewhere
The police say the mayor must giv
orders if ho wants the houses "pulled ,
while the mayor insists that Colone
Dnlloy is the prosecuting attorney , am
should take the desired steps. Th
same state of apathy and IndilTeronc
is noticed in regard to the closing t
tlip-.gambling houses , or .of rolegatin
them to the cocdnd lloors iintl bac
