The action of Judge Monger will b ap-
proved In overruling the effort of the
Vnlted States dIMrirt attorney to dlay
and postpone the trial of Senator Dietrich.
When an Indictment van found against
htm Mm weeks ago the senator rienled
I la truth and declared that he should re
turn to Nebraska at onr-e and demand a
trial at the earliest possible moment. The
pre of the state and of the country uni
versalis a creed In demanding both of him
and of tbe prosecution a prompt settlement
by trial of the l-eue raised by the grand
Jury. The senator as a rltlsen has a right
to trial without delay, and there are spe
cial reasons of a pnblie character which
urge It forward.
The date, January 4. for which the trlM

to the prosecution,, la reasonably early,
giving the district attorney two weeks from
tba adjournment ef the grand Jury for
preparation. The prosecution has. In fact,
had many months to get ready. The sen
ator' a Case wax before the grand jury aa
long ago aa May, and It had been carefully
studied long before that time.
The whole matter Is an extraordinary one,
extraordinary in Its Inception, extraordi
nary In the methods which have been em
ployed In Its preliminaries, in the produc
tion of evidence. In Its exploitation in cer
tain, newspapers. In Its relation to personal
Interest and political matters. The fact
that a United States senator Is Involved
gives It a bearing of national importance.
In Nebraska especially its progress and
settlement will be regarded with Intense
Interest.
The people of this state bare no other
desire la this trial than they have had in
all the preliminaries leading up to It to
sea the troth and the right prevail. The
great mass of the people. In spite of sya
teraatlo and malignant effort In some quar
ters to becloud the Issue and to prejudice
tba case, are open-minded to the truth.
They are fair. They will await the full
bowing ef the facta. They want no guilty
man to escape and no innocent man to
suffer, nor will they be lenient if they And
It has been attempted wrongfully to de
stroy Senator Dietrich.
Tor Our part we are glad that Judge
Hunger, has firmly refused to permit the
trial to be delayed and that the case can
so soon be put In shspe to be judged by all
on Ita merits and on all the tacts.

The action taken by the city council In
ordering a contract made with the Ne
braska Telephone company for the Installs
tlnn of nine patrol boxea Is generally com
menced. It Is asserted on all aides that
the additional expense Is a small matter
as compared a 1th the benefits to be derived.
In the po'.lce dtpartment the office re will
be required to report at regular Intervals
day and night and communications may
be given them over the telephone and
much valuable time saved In the appre
hension of criminals. These boxes will be
so fitted that fire alarms may be sent In
and this will give the city nine additional
fire alarm boxes. The yearly rental for
each box la iSO and this Is considered ex
ceedingly reasonable, especially as the
telephone company will kep the boxes and
lines In repair. The contract now waiting
to bs signed runs for five years. More
boxes may be installed at any time the
council sees fit ts order the work done.
8o far nothing has been done towards
selecting the location of the nine boxes.
The police committee of the council pro
poses to meet with the Tire and Police
com m teal on and the chief of police and
the chief of the fire department and ar
range this matter. After the contract Is
signed It will take the telephone company
fully sixty days to get ths boxes In position
and the wires strung. Provision Is made
In the contract for the best of telephone
service over these lines.
Efforts have been made In the past to
Install this service, but as the funds would
not warrant the expenditure the council
was not In a position to consider a propo
sition of the sort. Now that ths fire and
police funds are in good shape, owing to
the sals of the overlap bonds, the city
officials feel warranted in going ahead In
making thla contract.
Jadge King laspsses ieateaces.
la police court yesterday afternoon Judge
King Imposed a number of county Jail
sentences. Ths first of importance waa
when William Clooney appeared. He wag
charged with being drunk and disorderly.
For this the Judge gave him thirty days.
Another charge of malicious destruction
of property was brought against Clooney,
and for this he waa sentenced to ninety
days In the county Jail. From ths testi
raony it appeared that Clooney had visited
the borne of his former wife In a drunken
condition and had broken up considerable
furniture. The two sentences will keep
Clooney confined until after the spring
election.
Jake Neff and Lewis Da via pleaded guilty
to the theft of a washing machine, as the
machine was found In their possession.
Each received a sentence of thirty days
In the county JalL
Antone Elstrom was brought In for the
same old charge of existing without visible
means of support.. He drew sixty day In
ths county JalL
Chief Briggs took all of these offenders
and Isaac Chambers to the county Jail last
evening. No complaint has been filed
against Chambers for murder yet, but the
co.inty attorney expects to mass the filing
today.' i
v . Sidewalk Bid Rejected.
Only one bid for ths construction of
permanent sidewalks has been received by
the city council and this is to be rejected.
Ous Hamll bid Utt cents per square foot
for ths laying of permanent brick walks.
This was considered entirely too high, so
no action will be taken. Hamll did not bid
on natural or artificial stone as called for
In ths advertisement.' No more attempts
will be made this year by the council to
enter Into contract for the laying of per
manent walks. This delay on the part of
ths council will give property owners an
opportunity to lay their own walks. While
thirty days' time is always given, the non
letting of this contract means that property
owners will have until spring to complete
the work. If walks are not laid by that
time the city will do the work and the
coat will bo assessed against ths abutting
property.
Lea Visits Frleada.
A. H. Lee, formerly one of ths traveling
