The New Police Force.

The police appointments are all made and
many expectant parties now breathe more
easily than before, although the announce
ment of the mayors choice brought disap-
pointment to some of them. Several of the
old force had great expectations of being
continued under the new administration,
even after they found it advisable to tender
their designations Immediately after the
municipal election in March, and they lave
been remarkable quiet of late, in hopes that
their offensive craftsmanship at that time
would be forgotten, and that the mayor
would again enroll them among the city's
guardians. But these illusions were roughly
dispelled Friday evening when the head
official of the city submitted the names of
the new appointees to the council, and the
aforesaid 20. ks, " together with other mem
bers of the old force, were left out in the
chilly atmosphere. The only ones who are
retained are Chief Mullen, who viii here
after pull the ribbons over the patrol team,
and pilot the 'yank 'em inn wagon
on its trips about the city, and
Patrolman A. j. Dyer, who is promoted to
the position of captain of police, and will
have full control of the night force.
The promotion of Mr.. Dyer is very salts
factory to the majority of the citizens, and is
a just recognition of his ability as q fearless
and efficient officer.
The mayor yesterday stated to a BEE re
porter that he was perfectly satisfied with
the new material on the force and believed
that they would give the city better police
protection than it had ever before enjoyed.
The new men will go on duty the first of
the new month, and uniforms will be pro-
cured as quickly as possible.
o. H. Lucas, chief-elect, is well and favor
ably known in the city, and 1t is universally
predicted that he is the right man for the
place. He was in charge of n Union Pacific
bridge gang for six years, and as he is some
what inclined RI military licpinlinn hic pr-
ders will probably be obeyed or he will know
the reason.

Boston Transcript: One of the pleas
ures of extreme youth is to walk in pride
in rubber boots. The naughty yet in
different air with which the rubber
booted small boy will swash through a
quarter of a mile of gutter must be
seen to be appreciated. AS the listener
was making his way past n OF the city

him two midgets of girls wearing rub
Der boots beyond their years. These
little girls yer walking through the

pride of ~conquering heroincs.

The proposed paving of Willow avenue
with brick meets with much favor. Brick
paving has been tried in other cities, and it is
said to stand well or residence streets, If it
can be made a success here there would be
much money kept right at home, instead of
being sent away for material. A long time
ago some hard burned brick were put in the
center of Broadway, opposite the First Ma
tional bank, right where there comes as much
and as hard wear as any spot in the whole
city. Anyone can easily examine those brick
and see how little wear there has been upon
them. They nave stood as well as any paw
ing blocks. 1t is proposed to try Willow ave
nue., and the result of such an experiment
would determine whether brick could be used
to such an extent here as its enthusiastic ad-
yocates claim.

Judge Deemer, who is presiding at the
Benjamin-Coff trial at Avoca, was here
yesterday, passing upon some motions and
other matters, which naturally fell to him to
look after. Judge Carson went to Avoca to
look after similar matters there, Saturday
being motion day in all the courts.
One of the matters which came up here
yesterday was the motion for a new trial in
the case of Hugh Thompson, found guilty of
bigamy. The chief claim in support of the
motion was that one of the jurors was so
stepped with whisky as to be unfit to serve.
Afiidavits were filed, signed by Ed. Phillips
and George Roper stating that the juror was
drinking during the trial, and after the case
had been submitted to the jury. Witnesses
were introduced on the other hand to i'm
peach Roper and Phillips, and break down
the force of their afidavits. The juror re-
ferred TO was George b. Miles, and he signed
an affidavit denying emphatically that he
drank auy intoxicants during the trial of the
case. A decision was not reached.

County Printing.

gather up the comparative figures in regard
TO the cost of Pottawattamie county printing.
1t shows that for the first quarter of the
present year Mills county paid for blanks,
books, stationery and printing s4l3.35; Ere
o county, SlSs,s7, and Montgomery
county S21425. For the same time and for
precisely the same work Pottawattamie
county paid as follows: Council Bluffs
Globe, $ ,320.32; Nonpareil, S97.6 IS; Avoca
Herald, Q 1.6S; making a total of 81, 500.6S.
In addition 10 this S25 was paid for litho-
graphing, Mills & Co. claimed $3.50 for
blank books, and ID. w. Bushnell, who deals
in books and stationery, was allowed S2l0.s5,
making a grand total of 81, 1922 3, or $1,000
moro than double the amount paid by the
three counties first named. These are cold
figures for the taxpayer, yet it will be TO his
interest to ponder them well.
