The Hoard of County Supervisors ycster

as to the mileage of witnesses taxed bj
the Justices of the peace and allowed tht
full amounts ns certified to In the reports
In all the reports filed by the Justices Mr
Kluiball cut the nmounln In two , holdliu
that the law only permitted C cents pel
mile , whereas the reports show that K
cents was taxed by the Justices. The Ju -
tlcea , however , had In following an old es
tabllshed custom allowed 10 ccuta for the
mileage travel one way Instead of 5 cent !
pep mlle for the distance traveled bolt
ways. The board held that It was simply t
matter of bookkeeping and that It prac
tlcnlly made no dlffercnco whether 5 ccnti
was taxed up for both ways or whethoi
double that amount was allowed the wit
nesses for one way. It was suggested , how

law.

In regard to police officers not balng en.
titled to fees for testifying In criminal
cases lu the discharge of tholr duty the
board held with the assistant county attor
ney nnd In all Instances where such fees
had been taxed up by the Justices and 11
the superior court they wore cut out. Tin
decision of the board , which Is In accord
ance with the law , will deprive City Do-
teotlvo Weir of about $10 which otherwise
would have como to him ns fees for testify
ing In state cases during the last three
months. The other officers affected and the
amounts they will lose nro ns follows : Chlel
Hlxby , $3.fiO ; Detective Pinnell , $ u ; Jallei
White , $2 ; Deputy City Marshal Stockdalo
$3 ; Patrolman Gnllaghan , $1.20 ; Officers Al-
bro , Ed Smith , Swanson and Constable Al-
bertl , GO cents each.
In the case of George Williams , charged
with robbing a freight car In the North
western yards , over $80 had been taxed uf
as mileage for four of the witnesses wlic
lived In Chicago , .but were In this city al
the time they were subpoenaed. Thlt
amount , on the recommendation of Mr. Klm
ball , was cut down to about $3 by the
board.
In his report Mr. Klmball showed thai
the criminal cases In the superior courl
during the lost quarter were twenty-four ,
resulting In four acquittals , nineteen con
victions nnd one case still pending. The
costs of the twenty-four cases amounted tc
$51.90 , or an average of ? 2.1G per case. Ir
Justice Ferrler's court there were twentj
cases , resulting In two acquittals , six con
victions , seven dismissals and five still pend
ing , with costs of $122.15 , being an average
of $6.10 per case. In Justice Vlen's courl
there were twenty-eight enses , resulting Ir
ten acquittals , nine convictions and nine
dismissals. The total costs were $250.15 , 01
an average of $8.92 per case. In the courts
of the country Justices tnero were twelve
cases , resulting In six acquittals , ono dls-
missal and live convictions , the total costs
amounting to $210 , or $17.50 per case.
Last year the average cost 'of state case *
was as follows : Superior court , $3 ; Jus-
tlco Fcrrier's , $8.30 ; Justice Vlen's , $8.24
The assistant county attorney reported thai
ho was well pleased with 'the ' showing made ,

( liK-Nlloli ItlilNfil In Suit
by Mm. llemicr.
The suit of Mrs. Louisa H. Benner against
H. O. Ouren , an attorney , and Sheriff Mor
gan , tried yesterday before Judge Smith In
the district court , raises an Important and
Interesting question. The plaintiff seeks to
enjoin the sale of her homestead under an
execution on a Judgment on the grounds
that the homestead was purchased with
life Insurance money.
The plaintiff is the widow of the late M.
II. Benner of this city and nt his death ttliu
received $3,000 from a policy of life In
surance that ho carried In a fraternal order ,
With this money she says she purchased
the homestead which the defendants at
tempted to sell to satisfy a judment ob
tained against Mrs. Benner. The Judgment
was for a debt contracted for family ex
penses during the lifetime of Mrs. Denncr's
liusband.
The law exempts pension money and the
"avails" of life Insurance policies from at
tachment under execution on a Judgment
and the question that arises In this case
Is whether the homestead purchased with
the proceeds of the Insurance constitutes
an "avail" of life Insurance as Intended by
the law. The case was fully submitted nml
the court took Its decision under advise-
wont.
The Judgment on which It Is sought to
neil the homestead Is only for n small
amount , but was brought as n test case , a :
at Uio time of his death Mr. Bcnncr owed
quite a large number of debts , and If this
suit Is decided adverse to Mrs. Benner they
will be at once placed In Judgment ,
The heirs of the Into Mrs. Sarah Dallunl

N' . M. 1'uney as special administrator of hot
cutatu secured an order of court yesterday
postponing the hearing In tills matter until
after the Jury cases In connection with Mrs ,
Hallnrd's property are disposed of. Should
Mrs. Dullard's will be admitted to probate
In the meantime there will be uo need fet
the appointment of a special administrator
and the rase will be dismissed , but In the
event of the Jury causes for some reason
being continued to next term the court
would be obliged to make an appointment ,
and In that case the bearing on the objeo.
tlons would have to bo taken up.
In making the application for the post
ponement of the hearing the objecting hclra
withdrew all their charges of fraud and
fraudulent mismanagement In connection
with the management of the estate of the
late Dr. Samuel M. Ballard against Mr.
Pusey. They also withdrew the charge that
ho wus Indebted to the estate In the sum
of $10,000 as they had alleged.

court yesterday. James Storrlor answers
that ho took no part whatsoever In the
prosecution of Mrs. Cole nnd thnt It was
done without his authority or consent. Mrs ,
Storrlor , however , admits causing the ar
rest of her niece and says she had reason
to believe she was guilty of the theft ol

The following letter was received yesterday
by Captain Couslna from Depot Qtinrtcr-
i master Long :
I SAN FRANCISCO. April 3. Cnptnln L. B.
Cousins , Council Uluffs , In. : Referring to
your communication of the 29th ulto. . In
which you state that Wallace Bolln , quartermaster -
| termaster SBrgeant of the Fifty-first Iowa ,
tiled at Manila , P. I. , March 25 , of smallpox
nnd stating that the family nnd friends
wished to have hln body sent to Council
Bluffs for burial , If It IB possible to bu
done , I have the honor to state that on
January 26 there was sent to Manila n re
liable , undertaker and assistants with suit
able caskets provided by the government
with Instructions under the chief quarter
master at thnt point to disinter the remains
of deceased officers nnd soldiers and send
them by ths first returning transports to
this country without expense to the rela
tives. A recent cabblegram from the chief
quartermaster at Manila states that owing
to the existing conditions nt Manila the
dlslntorments for the present have been
discontinued , dlslntermcnts at Manila
1 being In charge of the chief quartermaster
1 at that place. Whether the health nulhnrl-
! ties would permit the removal and dlsln-
I torment of an officer or soldier who died
of smallpox , I cannot advise you , but would
suggest that you write direct to Lieutenant
Colonel J. W. Pope , chief quartermaster at
Manila , and also to the chief surgeon at
Manila , who can give definite information
to the health regulations In this regard.
If the remains of Wallace Bolln are
shipped to this country they will bo Im

The prospective decrease In the assess
ment of property In the city under the
new method of assessing Is giving the jnu-
unlclpal authorities much worry and they
have been putting their heads together to
devise some plan where reduction In the
revenues of the city can bo avoided. A
member of the finance committee of the city
council has suggested that when the council
sits ns a Beard of Equalization It ralso the
valuation of all property sufficient to make
the total assessment approximately what It
would have been under the old system oJ
assessing.
When City Assessor Hardln learned that
such a scheme had been suggested by one
of 'the city fathers he laughed at. It , say
ing ho did not believe In the first place
that the Board of Equalization had any
right to make such an Increase after he
had assessed the property at one-fourth of
Its value according to law. The only right
that the city council sitting ns a Board of
Equalization had In his opinion was to
equalize the assessments whereIt was
shown that a property had been assessed
at n lower rate than other property of like
value nnd character. He did not for a
moment believe that the city council would
attempt to carry out nny such plan , as It
would undoubtedly bring every property
owner In the city up In arms at once against
such a course.

I suffered from swimming and
dizziness in the head and from sick
headache , and couldn't get relief.
One day I read an advertisement of
Wine of CarduL I tried U , and
becar. to teel better at once. By
the time I finished the bottle I was
all right.

Headache ; in women are symptoms and danger signals.
They arc warnings that something is seriously wrong not in
the head , but in those intricate delicate and sensitive organs that
distinguish her sex. Here it is that the wrong must be righted.
While headache and dizziness arc signs of danger , it is such an
easy matter to drive them out. Wine of Cardui docs it by regu
lating the menses. When regularity is established , the pains not
only leave the head , but the sufferer finds herself feeling splen
didly in every fibre. Her health comes back , and there Is V
great satisfaction in knowing that life can be enjoyed to the full.
Wine of Cardui is putting gladness and sunshine into many wo
men's lives. It is curing their
