CUTS DOWN THE FEE BILLS
Report to Be Submitted by Assistant County
Attorney.
JUSTICES OF THE PEACE ARE HIT HARD
ItulliiK In < " die KITrc-t ( lint Police
Oilier Are Not ISnIKIcil to AVIt-
nr i 1'Von When They
in Court.
When Assistant County Attorney Klmball ,
whoso duty Is to attend to the criminal
cases in the courts of the Justices of the
peace , presents his report for the quarter
ending March 1 to the Board of County
Supervisors It Is likely to contain a number
of surprises and the Justices are liable to
llnd that the costs taxed by them will bo
materially cut down.
Following the old tlmo custom , the Jus
tices in taxing costs have allowed witnesses
10 cents a mllu one way for the distance
traveled. The code provides that witnesses
shall too paid 5 cents a mlle for the distance
traveled , which comes to the same , thing
as 10 cents per mile for one -way. But
there Is nothing In the reports of the Jus
tices to show that the 10 cents per mlle
allowed Is not for both ways.
Whether the supervisors will allow the
Justices to correct their reports to which
they have sworn to the correctness thereof ,
Mr. Klmball said ho of course could not
say , but he thought not. The reports of
the different Justices of the peace , after
being filed with the Board of Supervisors ,
are referred to the asilstant county attor
ney and It Is on his recommendation that
they are allowed or cut down. In the
event of the board refusing to allow the
costs as taxed the only resource that the
Justices would have would be to sue.
The members of the city police force will
also llnd that they will bo affected by Mr.
Klmball's report. Hitherto It has been the
custom in the superior court and courts
ot the justices of the peace to allow po
lice officers witness fees and some of the
officers , especlal'y the city detectives , have
drawn conslderablo sums in this respect.
The code , however , provides that police
officers shall not receive witness fees for
testifying In the discharge of their duties
except on express order of the court. This
being the law , Mr. Klmball has cut out
from the costs taxed up by the Justices rtll
witness fees allowed members of the po
lice force.
Mr. Klmball's report will also call at
tention to the amount of costs taxed up
In criminal cases before the justices of the
peace In the country districts. The costs
amount on an average to about $17 a case
and the reports of the Justices show thai
there are as many acquittals as convictions ,
This Is considered excessive when compared
with the average costs In a case before
either of the two Justices In this city , which
are about ? G. The average costs in cases
before the superior court amount to aboul
$2 each.
Wanted Several good lady solicitors for

That the efforts of the ( Merchants' and

turned the compliment 1 > y providing an
elaborate inenu.
After the generous 'bill ' of faro had been
discussed to the satisfaction of all present
cigars were In order , chairs were tilted back
and the epcechmaklng commenced. To Vic
tor E. Bender was assigned the principal
und opening speech. In the immo of the as
sociation and the 'business men of the clt >
he extended a hearty welcome * to the now
proprietors of the Grand hotel and assured
them of the hearty support of the com
munity at large. Ho reviewed the work thai
the association had done and was doing , and
urged the necessity of all to pull together tc
keep going the movement that had already
brought several now enterprises to the city
and was reaching out for more. Hecognlzed

It was discovered Tuesday that tho'fish in
Lake MInnowashta , a small body of water
near Arnold's park , were seeking passage
into the larger lakes in such numbers as to
obstruct the channel nnd produce great loss
through suffocation. Warden Delnvan was
advised nnd iho promptly authorized relief
work to snvo the fish. Five teams and men
with soins worked all night transferring
them to the West OkoboJI. It Is conserva
tively estimated that game fish to the num
ber of 80,000 , most of them largo enough to
take n hook , were handled. The warden
came over today nnd In company with a
number of friends visited the scene. The
rush was much abated , but at the opening
of the channel fish were yet eo numerous
as to be easily taken with the naked hand ,
This exhibition In one of the smaller wntern
Is evidence of the practically Inexhaustible

Health Is not a ( luostlon of muscle ami
slmnv , but oC resistance and endurance.
It Is the weak , the wasted , the. tlilu
blooded who are always sick ; those who
have no resistive power , so that n mid-
don cold develops Into graver disease.
Kvery process of the body Is controlled
by the nervous system ; and Just In pro
portion as this nervous system Is weak
ened the whole body Buffers loss of re
sistive power. Over-work , worry , care ,
anxiety these are the chief causes
which sap the system of Its vital power.
The man who comes to his work In the
morning with a headache , who suffers
all day from dullness and drowsiness ,
who goes to his meals without an appe
tite , and tosses restlessly throughout the
night without getting his regular sleep ,
Is not likely to light off disease very
hard. The best thing for you , when yon
feel that your bodily energy la lacking ,
Is to seek the strengthening , power-pro

matter , says : The capital is $55,000,000 , ol
which $25,000,000 is 7 per cent preferred anil
$30,000,000 common stock. The capitaliza
tion was fully and promptly suhscrlbod by
the rolling mill Interests Involved and by
the underwrltlug syndicate in Xew Yorl <
with which the proposition was originally
taken up , no outside subscriptions being
solicited , though there have been many ap
plications for subscription rights.
. Tweaty-nlno rolling mill plants besides
ere properties and furnaces have been ac
quired. It is probable that six or eight other
mills will bo acquired later. The head
quarters will be in Chicago , it now se ms
certain , though some Idea was entertained
of Cleveland for n tlmo.
It Is stated that the cash working capital
of the new company will be J6bOO,000 prd

BRYAN TO PUBLISH A BOOK
Devoted to the ExiioNltlnn of Hla

tlon Others Contribute.
CHICAGO , April C. Hon. William J ,
Bryan Is to publish a book entitled "Repub
lic or Empire The Philippine Question , " in
which he discusses territorial expansion
from every standpoint , his argument being
supplemented by chapters dealing with the
various phases of the subject by Andrew
Carnegie. George P. Hoar , John W. Daniels ,
Henry M. Teller and others.
As to imperialism Mr. Bryan says : "Im
perialism finds Its Inspiration in dollars , not
in duty. It Is not our duty to burden oui
people with Increased taxes In order to give
n few speculators au opportunity for ex
ploitation It Is not our duty to sacrifice the
best blood ot our nation In tropical Jungles
In an attempt to stifle the very sentiments
which have given vitality to American Insti
tutions ; it is not our duty to deny to the
people of the Philippines the rights for
which our forefathers fought from Hunker
Hill to Yorktown. Imperialism has been
described as 'Tho white man's burden , ' bul
since it crushes the wealth-producer beneatli
nn Increasing weight of taxes , it might with
moro propriety bo called 'The poor man's
lead. '
"If the peace commissioners had demanded
a harbor and coaling station In the Philip
pines and had required Spain to surrender
the rest of the land to the Filipinos , as It
surrendered Cuba to the Cubuns , we would
not now bo considering how to let go of the
Islands. If the sum of $20.000,000 had been
necessary to secure Spain's release , the pay
ment of the amount by the Filipinos might
have lccu guaranteed by the United States. "
