upper aldermanic body wonld suffer at
tue hands Of nonresident representa-
tives. He urged that fact as one of the
chief arguments against division. Mr..
Berkey said that there was a vast diff
ference between the council of to-day
and the council OF his day. He had
heard the clerk gabble off business by
the yard in the present council. and not
a member voting OH the measures read,
which passed unrecognized. Such a
state of affairs would not have been per-
nlitted for an instant in his time, and
with the additional security of a second
house it could not occur now. Aid Bot
replied that he was willing to shoulder
the responsibility for every vote he had
ever cast in the council since he had
been there.
Senator Lienau said he was not in
favor of division. The idea was not
popular, and though it might pass the
chamber OF commerce, the people
would vote it down. Col. Clough did
not believe i'll entering in the details OF
the proposition, but favoreda discussion
of the principles involved. He moved
to amend the resolution so as to elimi-
nate the clause to elect the seven
aldermen at large. Representative
Bell thought the upper house
should consist of eight members,
for representing the territory east OF
Wabasha street and give that to the
west. The resolution was finally
amended so as to read 'that in any
amendments there shall be provision
for two branches of the city council, u
in which condition it passed. The
ting then adjourned.

The jury Jumps On About Every
Neck in Sight.
Also make the following report in the
matter of granting liquor licenses, col
lecting fees, ETC.:
Investigations into the manner of
granting liquor licenses, collecting fees,
preventing the sale of liquor by un-
licensed saloons and inforeing gen
orally the provisions of the city ordi-
nanceS and the staIe laws governing the
saloon business, disclose careless andin-
adequate methods and deliberate multi
tication of the law, which ought to evoke
a public opinion sufficiently strong TO
correct the abuses complained of.
There is, in the opinion of this body no
series of laws which should he more
umflinehingly enforced, and none which
the city authorities regard with greater
indifference and contempt. A careful
examination of witnesses and thorough
investigation of the records bring to
light the following facts:
First. The detection, prevention and
punishment of the sale of liquor with
out license are all eenfded to one
person, the city inspector of licenses,
There is no check upon him, and no
official review of his acts. He is not a
statutory official. but a mere employe
of the police department. He makes
list, from personal inspection
of the saloons entitled to do
business in the city. Nobody,
apparently. ever sees this list, or COM
pares it with the list Of licenses issued

MURNANE INDICTED

And Gives Bond for Trial The
Explanation He Offers.
NJ. r. Murnane. who was indicted by
the grand jury upon charge of fraudu-
lently appropriating public money to
his own use to the amount of 1,50O, was
arrested Oh bench warrant yesterday
in his office as abstract clerk, and taken
before Judge Brill. Mr.. Murnane was
represented by d. w. Lawler and en-
tered plea of not guilty. Bond in the
penalty of $1,000, with James Cleary
and Michael Mullane as suretieS was
given, and the case continued.
In speaking of the indictment to
GLOBE reporter, Mr.. Murnane said that
the county had owed him claim for the
past forty days. which was allowed by
the board of county commissioners to
the amount of 1856. He also said that
he has been always willing to pay the
difference between this sum and $1,000,
the amount due the county for fees, and
had even delivered check to the proper
officials for that difference; but the mat
ter had not been closed up for some rea-
son that he did not fully understand.
In speaking of the charge made in the
general report of the grand jury as to
there having been $4,000 allowed for
pretended extra work of which S69S was
allowed January 81, 1891" he said that
the work for this money had been done
in pursuance of a resolution by tie
board of county commissioners adopted
in July 1882 which authorized certain
indexing and copying TO be done to an
amount not exceeding $500, in the
year 1890. This resolution was passed
upon the. recommendation of Judge
Ouis who had gone before the board and
stated that the work of indeXing books,
etc, should be done, Mr.. Murnane said
the work had been actually done and
that he had taken the sworn vouchers
therefor from the men doing the work,
and that these vouchers are now Oh file
in the auditors office. He also said the
condition of the abstract office IS first
class and that the work done has been
satisfactory to the. large number of
prominent business men having deal
ings with the office. He said also that
politics is at the bottom of the matter
and that some one has disposition to
injure and prosecute him because he
wants the Office himself and he will see
him out in the matter.
With reference to the statement in
the general report Of the grand jury to
the effect that the expenses of the alb
stract Office for 1889 and 1890 being s13,-
132.4S more than the receipts, Mr.. Muir
name showed statement of the business
done for each month of those years.
which reveals the facts that the receipts
of the office in 1889 were Sl2,031.23, and
for 1890 they were SS,039.25, aud there
are uncoIlected, fees amounting to S649.
The fees paid to the district court in
1889 amount to ST, 1855 and in 1890 to
10 f<>t no
those two years .$14,40o and leaving
balance due the county of s9S9.22. The
total business for the two years aggre-
gate $2l, 705.70.

THE ABSTRACT OFFICE.
The System, the Accounts and the
Commissioners Scored.

The jury made the following report
concerning the abstract office:
In the investigation of the county alb
stract office. we find from the evidence
before us, that it has cost the county
sl3, 132. 4S over and above the receipts to
run the Office for the last two years,
1889 and 1890. That large force of
clerks has been employed during much
OF the time. more than sufficient to have
had all the books in proper order. but
that many of the books are posted in
pencil and do not now show the book
and page where the instruments are re-
corded.
That s.. 200 has been allowed for pre-
tended extra work, $69S of this amount
being allowed on Jan. 81, 1891.
That the abstract clerk is and has
been for many months in arrears with
the county treasury for moneys re-
ceived: and that with the official reports
before the county commissioners from
this officer, who is their own appointee,
said board deserve severe censure for
the condition of affairs which we find,
and which could not have existed with
any reasonable examination or watch
fulneSS Oh their part.

THIS Is DIFFERENT.

The Jury Condescends to Be
Pleased With the Institutions.
The several committees that visited
the various county institutions madere-
ports to the following effect: The hos
pital was found excellent in condition
and management, but needed more
room, and the county commissioners are
urged to push to completion buildings
in course OF construction. During 1890
there were 926 patients cared for at an
expense of S24. 1888, exclusive of the
salary of the county physician, or at a
cost of sa6 per patient. which is more
economical than similar institutions in
Eastern cities.
The county Jail was found crowded
with United States prisoners who are

Prevention

Is better than cure, and people who are sub
ject to rheumatism can prevent attacks by
keeping the blood pure and free from the
acid which causes the disease This suggests
the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla, unquestiona-
bly, the best blood purifier, and which has
been used with great success for this very
purpose by many people.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has also cured innu-
merable cases of rheumatism OF the severest
sort, by its powerful effect in neutralizing
acidity of the blood, and in enabling the kid
neys and liver to properly remove the waste
of the system.

NEW LISBON, Wis, Aug. 12.-Camp
Douglas is in ruins. At about p. m.
the cry of fire was raised. 1t seems that
q lamp exploded in Buffmire's saloon,
but the flames had been nearly smoth-
cred, and thinking it was all over the
crowd left. The fire took new start
and in about ten minutes was beyond
control. The fire spread rapidly through
several business houses till it reached
the Camp Douglas hotel. 1t then crossed
the Omaha tracks and set fire to the
Commercial House and the depot. The
soldiers out at their camps were noti-
fed and assembled and succeeded in
saving nearly all the goods in the hotel
and stores, besides the whole of the
business part of the village. Many
dwelling houses were burned, there
being nothing left but few residences
in the southwestern part Of the town.
The wind blew from the south and kept
the fire burning so rapidly that the FIRE
engines from Mauston and Tomah.
which had been sent for, reached there
too late. The total loss is estimated at
about $150, 900.

BALFouR'S IDEA.

His Reasons for Favoring Local Govern
ment for ireland.
saoSDoN. Aug. 1e.--In his speech at
Plymouth Chief Secretary Balfour out
lined the ideas of local government
which the government proposed to en-
body in bill. He repudiated the view
expressed by Mr.. Morley that 1t was a
small home rule bill. He argued that
local government should not be with
held from Ireland for two reasons s.-the
tirst 9 sentimental one, because it had
Scotland; the second because it had
been repeatedly promised to Ireland. 1t
would be madness to allow councils to
administer the funds of any class not
represented in such councils by con-
trolling voice. Such permission would
convert them into engines of tyranny
and oppression. Mr.. Balfour exonor-
ated his opponents from the charge Of
obstructing his measures for the benefit
of Ireland.
