One of tlio Important revenues upon which
the Board of Kdiicnllon has relied In the
pant to maintain the public schools has bccii
the receipts of the police couit. Thrao are
mndo up of fines , not Including coats , col
lected for various Infringements , and have
amounted In some years to nearly $30,000.
Jloro recently , however , there hns been a
perceptible falling off In fines , the whole
rovciiuo from that source being virtually
wiped out In 183U. The receipts from the
jiollce court during the last ten years have
Ibcen as follows :

In lil minimi report , now In the hands of
Iho major , Judge Gordon gives other Inter
esting data relative to the administration of
the police court. The figures show that the
number nf dismissals almost equal the total
number of urrestH ; lhat the judge has tcm-
jiered justice with mercy to such an extent
that the amount Involved In suspended sen
tences almost equaled the total received In
lines and coats ; that the fines proper only
amounted to 3261 , whereas the costw footed
up $647.50. Thu recapitulation of the year
Is as follows :

Indue Cnrilnii KvplnlliN.
In his annual report Judge Gordon takes
Tiote of the falling off In receipts as'follows :
"Tho total amount of fines and costs col
lected is $008.50 , and the total number of
cases disposed of is G.G42. As compared with
last year , there Is a great discrepancy both
In the amount of money collected and In the
number of cases disposed of. "
Continuing , Judge Gordon says that this
condition Is an evidence of police efficiency
and Improvement In public morals. The re
ceipts last year , ho adds , came largely from
Immoral women , who were arrested monthly
l > y the police during the exposition period.
The policy was abandoned In November , 1S98 ,
ho points out , causing very largely the ap
parent shrinkage In receipts.
There wore no such regular fines Imposed
In 18U6 and 1S97 , however , when the receipts
( till were of material assistance to the school
board. Judge Cordon says on this point that
many more arrests were made during those
years , particularly of women , and that the
flecreaso can bo logically accounted for.
AVIitM'lH of .IiiHtliM * Closured.
There are numerous attaches of the police
department who find serious fault with the
Judge's habit of continuing complaints. In
Iho cases of non-resident complaining wit
nesses , especially , complaints have been
known to drag along from week to week un
til the Injured party has given up in disgust
nnd loft the city. This method of winning
suits Is adopted by police court attorneys
who secure continuances oi almost nny pre
text , causing the greatest Inconvenlncco.to
arresting partolmen on the night shift who
nro compelled to leave their beds at 9 a. m.
to visit the police court as complaining wit
nesses. Many times also the complaining
witness has lain in jail while the offender
was in the enjoyment of his liberty secured
through the worthless ) bond accepted from
Irresponsible police court attorneys. The at
torneys reap their reward when the law
breaker receives his envelope back from the
Jailer.
This practice became such n hardship that
Dfllclal notice of it was taken in the report
of Chief of Police Gallagher made to the
council on January 3 , ISflS. The matter Is
referred to In the following words : "Then
again our police Judge has so conducted his
court that the efforts of the police force to
itamp out certain classes of crime have been
llmost wholly frustrated. "
KlinlVoril for ( iorilon ,
Chief Donahue says that the condition com
plained of has been largely remedied nnd
that continuances nro much leas' frequent
than formerly. Since his Incumbency In the
olllco Chief Donahue says ho has no com
plaint to make of the way police court Jus
tice haa been administered.
Regarding the large number of suspended
Bcntences Judge Gordon explains as follows :
"I have frequently had occailon to sus
pend penalties attached to state laws and
ordinances applying to misdemeanors , but
while I do not believe In judicial Interfer
ence , I deem It more In consonance with civ
ilization and humanity that a distinction bo
made between circumstantial and habitual
criminals , and for this Benson I have when
the case required exorcised what I consid
ered righteous leniency. "

I'riiNjieet Hill Cemetery.
The remains of the late Charles J. Kar-
bach , who died Saturday , were Interred
yesterday in Prospect Hill cemetery. The
funeral , which was held from the Karbach
residence'SOS South Twentieth street , was
a notable event , attended by many promi
nent citizens. The pioneer element was
especially well represented.
Rev. Luther Kuhns of Grace Memorial
church was the officiating miplster. The
services were plain and impressive. The
clergyman talked at .length of the admir
able traits of the doceasd.
The pallbearers were : S. A. Orchard , A.
B. Hubormann , William Hahii , F. Stubcn-
dorf , Fred Behm nnd II. Meyer. A largo
delegation from the city hall turned out to
pay respects to the memory of the man who

ted with the force were also in attendance.
The procession to the cemetery was OHO
of the largest that nas been observed In
Omaha In recent years. Among the crowds

been In the employ of the deceased.
"DICK " 'BERLIN COMPLACENT
Not Very Mueli Worried Over llelntf
'I'nmfil I ) M > II liy Senator
TliurNtoii.
Failure of confirmation by the senate on
his appointment as census supervisor for the
Second congressional district because of ob
jections raised In executive session by Sena
tor Thurston does not seem to bo overshad
owing the happiness of R. S. Berlin. Refer
ring to the Incident , Mr. Berlin said :
"Congressman Mercer recommended mo
for the plnco because ho had confidence In
my ability to perform the duties , knowing
of my experlenco in the taking of the last
census. I am the only one of the six named
for supervisors of the six congressional dis
tricts In this state who had had such experi
ence and I have gladly assisted the other five
In every way possible. It seems strange tome
mo that 1 should be- turned down nnd the ap
pointment of the other five approved. Now ,
as I was not an applicant for cither the nom-
Illation or the confirmation , I do not see how
the failure of the senate to approve my ap
pointment can In nny way embarrass me ,
nor do I believe lhat It can hurt Congress
man Mercer politically , as his selection had
been quite generally endorsed by the presa
and people of the dlstrldt. "

j This unprecedented shipment of plow
I goods from the J. I. Case Plow works , Ra-
i cine , WIs. , to the Llnlngcr & Mctcnlf Co. ,
i Omaha , shows to what Immense proportions
the trade In farm Implements has grown.
Tlmo was when n few carloads of goods
t
i distributed from Omaha supplied the wants
I of the fctatc. The great Institution of Lin-
Inger & Metcalf Co. has grown with the
state until the shipments of tralnlonds of
goods have become a yearly practice with
them. This Is the sixth tralnload shipment
received by the Llnlngcr Metcalf Co.
within the last few years. The magnitude
of such enterprises may bo appreciated from
the fact that this train , which will arrive
today , represents nn outlay of about $ G5-
000. The train Is gayly decorated with
bunting nnd appropriate signs and lings , Is
pulled by a double-header engine and ntops
at all the stations along the line. Rcp-
rescntathes of the factory and the ilrm
hold an impromptu reception of Implement
dealers while the train stops at each sta
tion. An exhibition llatcar Is placed Just
In front of the caboose , on which are shown
samples of the goods carried In the train.
The merits of this popular line are explained -
, plained by n corps of competent salesmen.

After all , the man who stands up and
makes a fair light , though he be on the
wrong side , deserves more respect than the
sneaking hypocrite who smiles In your face
and stabs you In the back. The New Idea

Will the trust gang paste the above In

been our way If fighting for our rights ,
to conduct our store regardless of a "Job

o This idea that clothing must bo sacrificed at o
o o
o the end of the season. Jfunny isn't it ? 'Tisn't o
o funny , either , when yon look at it in the same o
o o way wo do. If all clothing stores followed our o o
o example , there wouldn't bo anything loft to o
o o sacrifice. Put the right price on them , in the o o
o right season , and there'll bo no cause for sacri o
o licing. If we say / / if this house should o
o o place a fabulous price on fall overcoats , be o o
o cause wo know you had to have them , wo would o
o have overcoats left other o
o over same as clothing
o
o stores do , and we'd have to sacrifice , but it's o
o different in this house. When you want over o
o o coats , we want to sell them , and wo. do sell o o
o them , and when the season is over our over o
o o coat stock is over at the same time. Good way o o
o to figure , isn't it ?

\ we shall not sacrifice fetylo and finish on any of o
oo our garments for the mere object of getting o o
