Although decrees granting permanent In junctions under the Iowa liquor laws have been made by Judge Smith , Sheriff Morgan , whoso duty It Is to enforce the ordern of the court , has never yet seen anything In the shape of an execution by which ho can proceed to enforce the court's orders. Tills execution must come from some person In terested In the prosecution of the cases , and J. J. Shea Is the only person In Council Dluffs who has such an Interest. Shea ap peared yesterday uml asked to have two of the Injunctions set aside. One of the cases d'nmlssed was that against C. A. Mathvcn , who conducts a flaloon on the corner of Dry- ant street and Droadway , nnd E. B. Sanborn , the owner of ths building. The saloon keeper asserted that he had a receipt from Shea , showing he had settled with the at torney early In March , and the appearance deckel In the clcrk'u ofllco chows that Shea noted the dismissal of the cafe on March 5. Shea , It seems , overlooked both his re ceipt for the money paid to him by the ta- loou keeper and hs ! notation on the docket , for on April H ho took a default In the flame case on the grounds of want of answer. Two other casea , which were presumably set tled In the same way , Involved the pa loon privileges of James Rubeg and hla landlord , Anna WIttcnglll , and II.

Walking out of the church with a friend , whoso nnmo I have lost , there was a shower of eggs In the nlr. Hastily entering n hardware store nearby , the proprietor declined to shelter me , sayIng - Ing his store would bo wrecked by the mob If I remained. Making my exit by the rear door and gaining the sidewalk , with a hand , spring I jumped over the railing and landed fifteen feel below nt the bottom of a gully In a foot of water. "I started through the brushy under growth , away from the main street , for the top of the steep bluff against which Mc Gregor lay. And as I heard the angry voices of my pursuers and saw the gleaming of their lantcins through the woods , I stood not on the order of my going till I reached a sheltering thicket , where I thought I could safely rest. For half nn hour I sat meditat ing on what would the people of the north think If they could fully take In tlfc scene. A free citizen , whoso only offense was that ho asked loyal men to unite lu defense of their country against traitors , pursued as If he were a. wild beast by Infuriated men eager to take his life. It was the only tlmo I ever felt like despairing of my country. It was not the thought of personal danger , but that nn American should bo hunted down ns If he were a murderer. After waiting half an hour I heard a subdued voice calling my name. Ho Informed mo that the mob had dissolved nnd escorted mo to my hotel.

A recent Inspection of the wooden side walks by Street Commissioner Ross shows that In many places the stringers h.ivc rotted away while the top boards are practically In good condition. This will necessitate the layIng - Ing of new walks and will add an additional expense to the taxpayers. Some of the walks have been down for five or six years and while the planks have been replaced from tlmo to time , no attention has been paid to the stringers , which arc now too rotten to hold nails. Quite a number of property own era are Inclined to object to laying new walkn at the present time , but unless the work Is done the city will do It and charge tbo cost up against the property.

The United State * rollnvrlnir the Kx- niuiile ot Krnnce. French economists are congollng th m- schre for tbo gradual depopulation ot their country by pointing out that many ot the American states , Including the whole of New Bnglnnd , arc still worse off. The birth rate in France has fallen from thirty-three per 1,000 at the beRlnnhiR ot the century to twenty-two per 1,000 , and Is less than thu death rate , so that. If the present conditions continue , In about 200 yearn the French race will have become extinct. In many states of the United States , however , matters are even more serious. The birth rate In Nevada la 16.30 per 1.000 , to that , even II no more people should' emigrate from thai state , Us population would die out com ploiely In less than 100 years , Maine contra next with n birth rate of 17.09 per 1,000 which gives Us race about a century longer to exist. New IlampHliIro Is third , with 1S.4 per 1,000. Vermont Is fourth with 18.5 and , strange to say , California , which comes next , has n birth rate of 10.4 per 1,000 , or nearly 12 per cent Iras than that of France. This fact , In view ot the favorable climate , ample area and dlvera'ty of Interest ami employment charactrrtlstlc of the state , I : most striking. Following California Is Con nectlcut , which has a birth rate ot 21.3 per 1,000. Massachusetts has 21.5. UhoJo Island has 22n , a somewhat higher rate than the French , but fitlll Insufficient to prat cut the extinction of the present race within two or three centuries. Wyoming , with , Its 21.8 cornea between Massachusetts and Rhode Island , while Oregon has a rate of 22.G. Ii most of the ttates. even these which have a low birth rate , the population Is kept up or Increases , but the new blood cornea fron : Immigration. The conclusion to be drawr from the statistic ? ) compiled Is slmrtly that within a period varying from sixty to 200 years , according to circumstances , the Anglo Saxon race of Inhabitants ot New Knglam nnd the Pacific coast will bo replaced by another.
