Sheriff Bowen to Live i'm the New
Jail Building.

The fact of the completion of the
new jail building was formally made
known to Sheriff Bowen Wednesday,
and'Thursday morning he commenced
moving his household effects across
the street to his new home.
The change will be welcome one
to the sheriff. From dreary, tumble
down old rat-trap he will step into
what is unquestionably the finest jail
building in the state, the name ''jail"
being applicable really to but por-
tion Of the building.
In leaving the old quarters the
sheriff accomplishes a worthy object
for himself and the public: He gets d
splendid home and he gives the county
an opportunity to forever remove an
eyesore and dingy blot on the beautiful
court house grounds. An unbroken
view of the county capitol and Jail
buildings are thus obtained from the
Omaha tracks. The work of tearing
down the old structure will be COM
menced as soon as the sheriff has
vacated the place, and Deputy Ewing
will have something besides cold
board floor to step his toes on these
cold mornings.

COURT DOlNds.
Jago Is a Free nan On Motion of the
County Attorney.

The habeas corpus proceedings in
the forgery case against Henry Jago,
of Madison Lake, were heard by
Judge eTuesdaymorning. On
motion of County Attorney Benedict
the case against the prisoner was dis
missed, there noG being sufficient evil
dence to hold him. 1t is rumored that
the Madison liveryman, who claims
Jago procured turnouts under false
pretenses, will now endeavor to make
a case against him.
A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of John Kramer, of Madison
Lake, whom Joseph Hettler says
handled him roughly at place in
that town on Monday.
1t is not believed that Judge Sever
ence will render his decision in the
motion for new trial in the Stein
Saulpaugh case before next week. The
arguments pro and con were a disap,
pointment 1t is expected that both
the opposing attorneys would make a
hard pull for their points, but even
Attorney Jones, in behalf of the
plaintiff, gracefully passed over many
points of exceptions made at the
trial.
Henry Jago was re-arrested this
afternoon on the charge of obtaining
livery under false pretenses, and
taken to Madison Lake for trial.
In Mrs. Splinter's suit for divorce,
the plaintiff was granted a decree,
and she decided over the farm in
Ceresco to Mr.. Splinter, who in turn
transferred a third interest to her
Both claimed the property.
The man Kramer was found guilty
of assault and battery and fined S.

instead of borrowing it," In proof of the
correctness of this view Mr. Atkinson
cites the fact disclosed by the census,
that during this period of increasing
product and augmenting wages accompa-
MED by lower prices, The farmers, espec
tally OF the West, have been steadily re-
deeming their lands from mortgage to
the extent of two-thlrds OF their mum Der :;
bly, in the grain-growing states, the in
creaed value of land between 1850 aud
1880 was more than equal to the whole
sum of the outstanding mortgages on

Mr.. Edward Atkinson in a letter to the
Springfield Republican. com bats the idea
prevalent, especially among the advocates
of tree silver, that the fall in prices has
besn detrimental to the agricultural
classes who are in debt. "Let it be as
snmed," he says, that farmer borrows
money at five, years. AT a given date
the farmer buys his land and borrows
money for the purchase of his tools end
other supplies, the market value of a
certain number of units of product for
the first year being we will say $1,000.
AZ the end of five years his mortgage
natures and at the prices of the date
products would only bring S700-which
brought 81, 1000 when the debt was in
Cured. In that aspect of the case he
must realize greater quantity in order
to pay the 1000 due. But in the inter
val other changes have occurred. His
old machinery has been worn out and
it's cost has been recovered by him and
Feinveated in new acknowledgements,
plows, mowers, etc. The price OF that
new machinery has been diminished in
fact more than the lessening of the value
OF his crop. 1t has become more effect
i've. He has learned bstter how to deal
with his land. He gets more varied
End larger quantity of products from his
farm with less effort than he did at the
beginning of the term. Hence it be-
comes less burden upon him to supply
the larger quantity of products that will
realize $1,000 for the payment of the
mortgage than he had been obliged to
exsrt In order to get the money when
he borrowed it, had he worked for it

Tax on rents is unconstitutional be-
cause it is tax on land, rents being
derived from land, and a land tax is a
direct tax. If this be SO is not tax on
tae products Of land, ON wheat for in
stance, unconstitutional? Wheat is de-
rived from land just as much as rents,
and il tax on the latter is direct tax
why is not tax on the former? Why
should not an income derived from agri.
cultural products be exempt just as
much as an income derived from rents?
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1895-04-11

The division among the judges on the
income tax was as little sectional as
political. Two of the four who pro-
bounced the tax unconstitutional are
f:om the West and two of the four who
declared to the contrary are from the
East. There seems to be no chance
whatever for any cutlery that the deois-
ion was affected by either political or
sectional considerations.

In a word, the room has the look Of a
retail clothing house, except that it has
no customers or statesmen. Orders come
entirely by mail, goods go by express.

diamond earrings, with brilliants as

of exquisite size and luster; topazes.
emeralds, brooches, pins, watches,
nothing pinchbeck, but all perfectly

way from poverty back to wealth
again through such sordd channels?
There is corps of jewellers cleaning
and repairing jewels and watches, eras-
ing all private marks, and making them
look like new for the country mer-
chant who comes to get stock little
below the wholesale rates; but this Is
neglecting the thirty-eight-cent coat
which, by this time, is away up on
the top floor, its price ticketed within
the collar. We climb the stairs just in
time to see the garment grasped by the
only man, who stands upright in reek-
ing garnet, bare to the elbows, sloshing
it with what looks like mixture of
mud and water, beating it with big
brush, sousing it In various tubs and
hanging it UP to dry. The process is
thorough, not only removing every
stain, but even restoring the nap to
shiny elbows. For special stains not to
be reached by this process are special
remedies-alkalies for acids mainly.

pressing, finishing; in a word, like
Burns housewife, they ''gae auld cloes
LUX amaist as weel's the new" Better
than that, or worse. They make them
look exactly new, neither more nor
less.
For presently, If we have patience,
we find our thirty-eight-cent coat
in the stockroom below, neatly folded
with others Of its like; and it would
take o wiser man than the present
writer to point out wherein it diff
fers from an absolutely new coat.
The nap is perfect. the binding fresh
