"W F. Chambers, the deputy city comp
troller, who reported to Commissioner
Uutler In the matter of the Jail release
probe. Jd: "I have Investigated the
booki In use at the police court and will
eay that a. few minor change which
can be made without additional ezpenre
nnd Very tittle lrrtreac In labor, will
Eire the deposition or the prisoner front
the time he It arrested until discharged
from custody; also the disposition of all
moneys rrcclvnj, whether for bonds or
sentences of fines and costs.
"It will also enable this department to
check the bills rendered for meals fur
Dished city prisoners by Douglas county
mi well as hote furnlshwl by the city.
"t attach sample of the Polce court
docket now In use. which If properly filled
In needs no change.
"Only one name should appear on each
somplainU
"rteturn on mittimus has never been
lhown on court docket and should be In
rach case.
The Present Srtem.
"The bonds for appearance are In most
cares accepted by the desk sergeant and
entered by him In his bond book showing
name of bondsmen, amount of bond and
s"ho for. The money so received la turned
over dally to tho clerk of the police
court, who receipts In the book for jt.
The police court clerk then enters same
In his bond" record and If not forfeited
they am receipted for In this book by
ny party who deposited them. If for
feited the docket number Is entered In
the elgnaturo column, which completes
the transaction.
"All fines and costs paid are received
by the clerk of the police court, who
makes a weekly report of them, to
gether with forfeited bonds, to the comp
troller's office. These reports' are
checked monthly against the clerk'a rec
ords and treasurer's receipt of cash."
The Situation Analysed.
The question of the Investigation finally
simmers down to this; One faction of the
city commission .feels certain that the
clerk of the police court will be hit and
the other la just as certain that tho city
prosecutor will have to shoulder the
blame for releases. And this creates an
Internecine strife that thoroughly dis
rupts any effort to proceed with the In
vestigation. The final action to be taken
will be Thursday morning, when ttie
council formally ratifies the new system
of bookkeeping and accounting suggested
by Emmet G. Solomon, deputy city and
county treasurer; W. K. Chambers, dep
uty city comptroller, and recommended by
Commissioner Butler.

according to W. Ilergtnunn of lliat place,
who was In Omaha today. I
Mr. Ilergmann says the alfalfa Industry !
has proved a nucccs In Dawes county and
the country north of there nnd it Is
thought by the capitalists that nil alfalfa
feed mill would be profitable. Iirg
quantities of alfalfa seed arc raised In
Dawm county, according to Mr. Uerg-
mann, who says that thousands of bushels
are already annually shipped out of thore.
Uawrs county has come to the front In
the last ten years," wild Mr Bcntmann,
nna we are now raising as high as thirty
bushels of spring wheat per aero. It used
to bn thought that corn could not be
raised there, but most of the fanners are
now raising some corn, nnd soma nf them
have corn that will run thirty-five bushels
per acre this yoar. fiomo of the fields, of
course, were caught by the frost this year,
and tho corn Is soft and fit only for hog
feed, but many of the fluids matured
nicely."

the support that hod been given them
by the progressives. There will be sev
