The county commissioners arc In a woeful
ftato of "dumps" over a startling discovery
which they have made. Members of the
1 sard say that they firmly plugged up the
i jlgot of the county bar'l by cutting down
t Jo salaries of employe1 * and clerks to the
uno of $7,000 per year , but that the Judges
e.f the district bJnch have knocked out the
1 jng stopper and the county funds are run
ning out at the rate of nearly $ GOO per day ,
f.nd for wlilch the county Is getting abso
lutely no return.
One of the county commissioners yester
day , In sptoklng of the matter , said :
"On the first day of the February term of
court , which was Monday of this week , there
voro 150 citizens siminoned to do Jury duty.
Of thlo number all but seventy-seven were
excused from eervlng and these seventy-
'even men have been sitting about the court
rooms every day and doing nothing except
drawing J2 per day out of the county treas
ury.
ury."There ore five Jury rooms , presided over
by Judges Baker , Fawcott , Dickinson , Scott
and Slabaugh. Judge Dickinson Is holding
lourt in Washington county and Judge Key-
aor has been occupying Dickinson's room the
east three days with a Jury , hearing the
Hetzel-Benn tt capo. Judge Baker had a
jury one day In the Mack wso and Judge
Scott had a Jury ono day In the Knight-
Kenny case. This makes flvp days' service
of twelve men , or $120 for-.which there Is
something to show. During the four days
of this week the seventy-seven Jurymen have
earned ( ? ) JC1G , of which all but $120 was
paid for loafing about the court rooms and
corridors' . In other words , the county will
bo called on to pay out $136 for which It has
received no return.
"It Is difficult to say where the responsi
bility for this condition should rest. The
ludges have been In their rooms each.day
ind have gone through the cases placed on
their dockets. The two cases mentioned are
ho only ones which have been ready for trial
n the law courts. As other cases were
reached , attorneys for one side or the other
nrepcntcd reasons why they should bo con
tinued and the result has been that within
in hour after court convened every case on
the docket had been disposed of In some
manner and without calling a Jury.
"In the criminal court Judge Baker has
been somewhat unsettled by the serious Ill
ness of his wife , but ho announced himself
ready to take up yesterday any case the
county attorney had ready. Mr. Jqfferls had
four cases set for trial , but In none of them
was ho ready to proceed. Three of the
cases were for burglary and the witnesses
were not present ; the other case was one of
a colored woman charged with larceny from
the person. The dusky defendant , Lulu
Thompson , was out on ball and was con-
oplcuous by her absence when the tlmo ar
rived for trial. Court was therefore com
pelled to adjourn until afternoon. While all
these events were transpiring in the several
court rooms , the clock was registering an
other day and $154 against the county for
Jury fees. "
The county commissioners are considering
tho' advisability of holding a session with
the Judges and entering a vigorous re
monstrance against this waste of the county
money. They say that the Judges have the
p6wer to force some -of the many cases on
their dockets to trial and getting some
service for the money the county Is obliged
to pay out to Jurors.

I'romlNlnK to He Rooil.
Tha flrst business transacted In the crim
inal court yesterday was the arraignment
of Roy Fux , a IG-year-old boy who has been
In Jail for the past month on the charge
of Incorrlglblllty. The boy Its the son of
Nick Fox , a South Omaha , man , who killed
his wife about three years ago and escaped
( hanging by feigning Insanity. The boy
had been living -with his mother's father In
South Omaha and the old gentleman had
been unable to manage him. Ho would not
go to school , and preferred playing In thfe
streets to chopping kindling wood. Judge
Baker talked very klndlj to the little fellow ,
who protested , between his sobs , that he
was not a bad boy , but would rather play
than go to school. He promised that he
nouU go to cchool If the Judge would re
lease him , and then he cried vigorously when
the Judge suggested sending hln | to the
reform pchool. After admonlbhlng the boy
to go to school and try to make a man
of himself , the Judge turned him over to
his uncle , ulth the Injunction that If he
was troublesome heuould bo sent to the
reform school.
The attorney for Hoover , convicted of thn
murder 'of Sam DuBols and sentenced to be

lloleiiNcil by .Iiiilurit llaUcr on Writ of
HiilifiiM CoriuiM. *
Acting upon the hint thrown out by Judge
BakiT last Tuesday , habeas corpus proceed
ings were commenced yesterday In the case
ot Charles M. Bacliinan.
In the application for n writ of habeas
corpus , the attorney stated that Bachman
iwaa sentenced Juno 22 , 1591 , to ceryo one
} ear for the crlino of adultery , sentence to
cgmmenco oa the day when sentence was
pronounced. The same day the attorney
said Bachman was sentenced to sixty
days' Imprisonment for contempt of court
PU account of hU conduct during the trial
of tbo rage agnluit him for bastardy , June
21 , the attorney further nald Bachman
was convicted In the case against blm for
bastardy , and was sentenced to pay a fine
Ot | 200 , and to pay tbe jurnj of $2,000 , In
Installments ot 120 per month , for the tnip-
poit of the child , and to give bonds In the
Bum ot t3,000 , or remain iu Jail In default
ot such bond.
It was alleged ttut the child wai placed by
thn mother In the cuitody ot the Nebraska
Children's Home loclety , the surrendering
nil claim to the Hltte .one. The society ba
the child vtltb-.a futiHyNsre 10Iiis out of
Douglas county , where It has a good homo
and will not become a charge on the county.
It was claimed by the attorneys that the
sentence for Adultery ended June 21 , 1S95 ;
that the sentence for contempt expired July
1 , 1S05 ; that the fine of J200 was cervcd out
In Jail , the time expiring September C , 1S95 ,
and all other Judgments and costs In the
proceedings were served out In the same way ,
the tlmo expiring November 15 , 1895. H was
therefore urged that Bachman was unlawfully
deprived of his liberty and a writ of habeas
corpus was prayed for.
The order for a writ was Issued by Judge
Bckcr and the sheriff was ordered to produce
Bachman In court at 3 o'clock In the after
noon.
The attorney for Bachman called the Rev ,
O. I' . Qulvcy to the witness stand , who
testified that he was the stito superintendent
of the Nebraska Children's Home society to
which the child was delivered by Its mother ,
she plgnlng a paper releasing all claim on
Ihe child and agreeing to make no effort to
learn Its whereabouts. The child was placed
In a family amply able to care for It , and
wai at a point at least 200 miles from Douglas
county. The witness was not apkod to tell
the exact location of the child or the name
of Its new parents. Bachman's attorney then
read from the court records the eavcral sen
tences Imposed upon Bachman to substantiate
the statements made In his petition.
Judge Baker at once entered an order dis
charging Baehman from custody.

Councilman Kment has a Job on his
hands. He Is a housempver by trade , and
although he hadn't worked very hard since
ha broke Into the council , ho was not long
In discovering that the present house-
movers' ordinance ought to bo amended.
As the law stands , the corporations that
operate \vlrus aloni ; the streets ot tbo city
are compelled to raise the wires when
necessary to admit the passage of a house.
The law also provides that the movers must
pay the corporation for the expense In
volved. Kment opined thai when these cor
porations had a monopoly of all the streets
of the city , free of any expense whatever'
they ought to be compelled to move their
wires \\bt-n necessary without cost to the
citizens. Although ho had bcn In the coun
cil n year , ho fondly Imagined that the
Omaha city council could be Induced to in
flict this additional hardship on the poverly
stricken corporations. But he knows better
now. Mr. Kment got tlio housemovers to
gether and they haunted the committee
room In the city hall for several days.
Kment acted as their spokesman and ex
pended rnougli oratory to run a presidential
campaign. The councllmen listened. Then
the representatives of the corporations
whispered that to change the ordinance-
would be a great wrong , Inasmuch as house-
movers might 1'ien Insist on crossing streets
where wires were strung , when they might
avoid doing so by going a few blocks out of
their way. The Inference ) that * .ney would
have to move the house around by Denver
or St. Louis In older to get around the wires
did not strlko the councllnien , and Kmenl's
amendment has never got further than the-

PAVEMENT TO FAIR GROUNDS
Commissioners Propose to Macadamize
West Lcavenworth Street ,
TWO MILES OF ROAD TO BE COVERED

County Commissioner Klcrstcad has evolved
a scheme which will make glad the hearts
of all visitors and exhibitors at the state
fair , and the most Important part of the
whole matter Is that there la every proba
bility that Mr. Klerstend's plan will bo car
ried out. It Is nothing moro nor less than
the building of a macadam roadway to the
fair grounds.
There Is a balance of about $21,000 In the
county read improvement fund , This Is
the fund created from the rale of $1EO,000 of
bonds which were voted three years ago for
the paving of county roads , The commis
sioners decided to Improve three main roads
with this money and this work has now been
done. Military road has been paved with
Colorado cundstono a distance of two and
one-quarter miles from the city limits. Dodge
and Center streets have been paved with
macadam , the former n distance of six miles
and the latter a distance of absut five miles
from the city limits. The available balance
In the fund referred to can be used for no
purpose but permanent Improvement or re
pairing of paving already laid.
Mr. Klcrstead , as well as a few other people
ple , has a vivid recollection of the unpleasant
features connected with a drive to the fair
grounds last summer and he conceived the
Idea of utIIMng this balance In a way
which would be of service to the greatest
number. His plan is to construct a mac
adam roadway , commencing at the Missouri
Pacific tracks on Leavenworth street and
running west to the entrance to nimwood
park , thence south to the road leading to the
east gate of the fair grounds , thence west to
this gate and south from the gate to the
Southwett road. The distance by this route
Is two miles , aa shown by a careful survey ,
and on the basis of the cost of the macadam
roads -already constructed , about $ G,000 per
mile , this road would cost about $12,000 ,
leaving a balance In the fund of about $9,000
for repairs. As Leavenworth street Is the
line of the city limits between Forty-eighth
and Fifty-fourth streets , the roadway would
bo constructed north of the center of the
street between these points In order to keep
It out of lha city , and this would also avoid
Interfering In any way with the street rail
way tracks. Such n road would give a paveJ
roadway to the fair grounds via Center
street and also via Leavenworth street , with
the exception of a little mere than half a mile
between the tracks of the Belt Line railway
and the Missouri Pacific railway on Leaven-
worth street , which Is Inside the city limits
and would devolve upon the city to keep In
pass-able condition.
The county commissioners have been con
sulted In the matter and the board , almost tea
a man , is In favor of the plan. Mr. Kler-
stead attended the beet sugar convention at
Fiemont Wedn sday and was in consultation
with the members of the State Board of Ag
riculture. The members were highly de
lighted at the prospect of a pavement to the
fair ground ? . Mr. Klerstead bas also talked
with the members of the park commission
about the matter and they are strongly In
favor of a paved roadway to Elmwood park.

Relative to the charges made by the Board
of Public Works , that the Barber Asphalt
company was using old material In making
repairs on paved streets , C , B. Squires , man
ager for the company , says that the members
of the board arrived at hasty conclusions
through a misunderstanding of the situa
tion. Mr. Squires does not deny that the
company used old material In filling up the
holes on South Eleventh street , but contends
that In doing so ho > nas not breaking his
contract , or trespassing on the rights of the
city.
city."Every
"Every one who knows anything about
asphalt , " said Mr. Squires , "knows that It
cannot be successfully laid In the middle pf
winter. It has always been our practice
when holes were found In the streets to fill
them temporarily so that they would last
through the cold weather until wo made
the regular spring repairs. The filing of a
few holes wo do not consider street repairs.
H Is simply a temporary , expedient and Hip
spots are reajrfaced when we do our repairs
In the spring. The reason we use old ma
terial for this purpose Is that we cannot
afford * to start up our plant merely to stop
a few , holes. As a matter of fact , the cost
of working up the old material Is more than
that of new asphalt , but wo have to use It
In such a case as this. In order to keep the
pavement In good condition until the weather
is so tjiat we can make the psrmanent re
pairs. This has never been a secret , and
If Mr. llunro and Mr. Kaspar had told me
what they wanted I would have invited them
down to the plant when we were ready1 to
fire the kettles , and they need riot have
watched all night to catch us at It. This
Is all there Is to it , and I think the board
will change Its views when the matter Is
explained to It. "

noon as already announced , and forming In

the neighbors standing with bowed heads In a
lugubrious circle In his frcnt yard , In the
center of which lay old "Jack , " cms of the
handsomest St. Bernard , dogs owned In
Omaha. "Jack" was dead. He had been
poisoned by some miscreant , and died In ter-
Hblo agony. The grief oi Mr. Klerstead and
his family , as well as the neighbors , was
genuine , for "JacK" had been a member of
the community for eleven long years.

AMUSEMENTS.
H was not a good night for the theaters
laot night. The weather wis ccltl and bhis-
terftg , and n reside attractions were too
strong to bo overcome by the great ma
jority of theater goers. Those- who braved
the elements , however , found good entertain
ment At both houses , which will doubtless
do better business when the climatic con
ditions are moro favorable.
At the Crclghton Daniel Sully opened a
short return engagement , presenting hla old-
time success , 'Daddy Nolan. " Mr. Sully , In
the line of work with which ho Is chiefly
Identified , stands practically alone. There
are stage Irishmen without number , from the
Sir Lucius O'Trlggers to the outrageous typo
which steps out of the pngca of the Illus
trated comic weekly with green whlekers
and a face like a Darwinian Adam bcforo
the fall. Hut the prosperous , self-respect
ing Irish-American Is not so familiar a spec
tacle to theater audiences as by his numer
ical supremacy ho ought to be. Certainly
thcro Is no one now bcforo the public who
portrays him so delicately , ej vividly , am [
with tmch a marked absence of that exag
geratlon which rouses the resentment o
every honest Irish heart , as Mr. Danlc
Sully. It Is not hard to believe , after see
Ing him In a round of parts , that a San
Francisco committee of Hibernian dignitaries ,
m nil o up of men who had seen and ab-
hcrred the abominable caricatures commonly
preoanted as Irishmen upon the stage , and
being delegated to Investigate Solly's Im
personations , reported that hero at least
was a son of the old sod who would not
hold the green Isle up to ridicule , and whom
Irish eyes could beheld without blushing
for shame.
In "Daddy Nolan , " by no means new to
the local public , Mr. Sully has a part wlilch
calls for the best resources In his excellent
equipment. It Is a fine , strong character , as
ho depicts It that of the sturdy ex-pro
prietor of the corner grocery , proud of the
success earned by honest toll , and confident
of his ability to maintain himself In the
position which he has won ; but who , when
that success Is turned to the bitterness of
defeat and unmerited loss , and that position
Is swept from beneath his feet , yet keeps
steadfastly on , resolute as before , and a
man at all times. And It Is so admirably
portrayed that ono Is apt not to realize the
beauty of its fidelity to nature until one
thinks It over at leisure afterward. Ite-
presslon Is the salient characteristic of this ,
as of Mr. Sully's other Impersonations ; and
thcro Is no quality more Infallibly Indicative
of the true artist , or alas that It should bo
fo ! more generally found wanting In the
work of those who might come nearer to
being artists If they had It.
The sweet and homely story of "Daddy
Nolan" Is familiar , and would bo so even
if It were not told so often In one form or
another upon the stage. It is of a weak
and erring son , a sorrowing wife , parents
dishonored through the son's misdoing , and
a few stanch and well-tried friends. As
presented last night , even by a company
not specially made up with a view to the
requirements of this piece , It furnished
scenes of exquisite pathos and passages of
rare humor. Doubtless , certain rough places
In the performance , which were not dis
agreeably apparent last night , will bo
smoothed down when frequnt repetition
shall have brought added familiarity with
lines and stations ; but no great changes
are called for In view of the general ex-
csllenco of the performance , and one IB even
willing to overlook the fact that the bright
little soubrette , whose thoughts are evi
dently upon matrimony In the first act , has
not grown enough In the five years which
are supposed to elapse before the second , to
go into long dresses.
The company Is the same which was seen
with Mr. Sully a week or two ago , although
two of the women are out of the caet. Mr.
Mason affords a delightful bit of German
dialect work , Miss Mlchelsna carries with
signal success a much moro difficult role than
that uhlch "A Bachelor's Wives" allowed
her , and Mr. Mayall as the wayward son
strengthens the good impression which his
former appearances have made ; while Mr.
Hoblnori deserves o word of praise for hl i
clever work and Ingsnlciik make-up as the
expressman , and no notice of the evening's
entertainment would be In any wise com
plete without reference to the delightful
singing of Miss Michelena In Irish ballads.
.Same bill the remainder of the week , with
matlnco Saturday.
Mr. James O'Neill played "Vlrglnlus" at the
Body last night to an audience which at
least made up in warmth for Its lack of
numbers. It Is to be regretted that more
of Omaha's theater goers those who take
pleasure In the legitimate drama did not
wait before Mr. O'Neill's curtain last night ;
for a moro finished , a more oarefully pre
sented or a more successful portrayal of ono
of the heroic dramas of our llterture has
not been offered In the city for a long time.
The tragedy "Virglnlus" has been frequently
essayed before an Omaha audience. Play
goers here have seen It often sometimes
with pleasure again with mental fatigue ,
for sometimes Sheridan's Knowlcs master
piece has been attempted by men who have
permitted themselves to be deceived by the
Idea that adipose tissue and a bass
voles make up the sum and sub
stance of ability. Mr. O'Neill gave
an excellently conceived and finely
drawn Vlrglnlus. He avoided overacting In
those scenes In which the tension of the plot
Is drawn to the highest pitch , and he was
vehement enough when the lines of the play
called vehemence Into action. The sympa
thetic qualities of Mr. O'Neill's voice were
wonderfully adapted to the tender passages
between father and daughter , and It was In
these scenes that he was at his best.
Much of the success of the production was
duo to the admiral support given Mr. O'Neill
by Mies Florence Rockwell , the Virginia of
the cast. Miss Rockwell's face , figure and
manner adapt her well to the character. The
Applus Claudius of Mr. Hallett Thompson
was strong afterrthe > second act , and he was
admirably seconded by the Claudius of
Albert Sackett. Deyond a slight , but evi
dent unfamlllarlty with his lines a fault
which tlmo will easily correct Mr. John
T. Da Oez did a creditable pleep of worla In
his portrayal of the cynical but ever loyal
and courageous Dentatus. Mr. William
Pascoe , as Iclllus , was sufficiently ardent as
a woer , even If his eloquence was somewhat
prone to assume stilted attitudes when
apostrophising the Roman populace or de
fying the Roman tyrant. The balance of
the company might have been stronger had
the exegoncles of the plot needed moro
strength. Nor must the Roman populace be
forgotten. It ) was the eame familiar Roman
populace of yore. It roared Itself hoarse
with rage and shouted its approval with the
old Harney streets gusto. Out ono could
wish that Its legs would show thicker
through the pink fleshings , and that Us
knees would not seek each other's com
panionship with fa evident affection.
Mr. O'Neill and his company will present
tomorrow evening "Monto Crlsto , " In which
ha Is best known to the American theatrical
public. That his performance will be worthy
of the friendly greeting of a largo audience
goes without the writing.

"There Is a performance that la bullet proof
against timepaid a welhknown man of this
city the other day on the atreet , when he saw
the bills of James O'Neill in "Monte Crlsto , "
advertised for the Doyd tonight. "I remem
ber seeing O'Nelll'o first performance of Ed-
mend Dantes ten years ago at Booth's
theater , New York , and during my visit two
years ago to the Midwinter fair In San Fran-
CECO ! , I dropped Into Stockwell's theater ono
night , where O'Neill was playing , to see If
I could still be pleased with the old chestnut ,
'Monte Crlsto. ' I can assure you that I was
more than surprised when I found myself
sitting the play through , without even going
out between acts to sets a friend , and It was
all duo to O'Neill's performance , which was
as spirited , fascinating and effective as over. "
