At the last session of the Legislature
have bill passed and signed by the
Governor making Jefferson county a
separate judicial district. Hon. w. o.
Smith is making an effort in the pres
ent session to have such bill pass.
Mr.. Smith. in his paper, says; "The
people of Jefferson county generally
are deeply interested in the passage of
bill that will afford them relief from
the present crowded and overwOrked
condition OF our courts. We have been
running behind for half dozen years,
and business has been accommodating
until it has become serious embai-
rassment There is evidently at this
time entirety too much work for one
judge. The judicial apportionment bill
in its present shape provides that JEFF
ferson county shall be constituted Il
separate judicial district, with Clarion
attached, and shall elect an additional
judge next November. The bill further
provides that the Governor shall ap-
point a judge, who shall serve until
January, 1896, and that when the term
of Office OF the present judge has ex-
pired, then the district shall have but
one judge. This is the arrangement the
Governor desires. He thinks it would
let us out OF our present difficulties
without increasing the number of judi
cial districts, to which he is opposed.
Should the bill pass in this shape II
would be certain to receive his sigma
ture, while an arrangement that would
leave Clarion, with only $4,000 popula-
tion, separate district might not
receive his sanction. II the population
Of the two counties continues TO increase
provision can be made for new judge
before the term Of the present judge
expires, and we need be put to ne
Inconvenience.

It's just like woman to scold about
the little troubles and be brave about
the big ones. To overestimate their
own beauty far less than they underes-
innate their own goodness. To faint at
mice and spank tigers with a broom
stick. To value baby above the world
or pug dog above a baby. To keep
nine commandments more easily than
the tenth. To look at the most unde-
serving OF men through the kindly spec
tacles of pity. To try independence,
succeed in it, but prefer it not. To toll
life long for social position, or throw it
away in an instant.

Newspaper men always know more
than they write: they always shield
more than they expose; they are always
more merciful than cruel, truly remarks
an exchange. The man who trusts the
average newspaper man may rely on the
fact that he will be treated fairly. 1t
is the mean, contemplate, suspicious
hypocrite that the newspapers are al
ways after. No manly man is ever hurt
by newspaper. And no one is quicker
to see the manner of men than the news
paper writers who study men and their
actions day unto day.

they had trouble.
Judge Miller said he could not find from
the proof that the preacher was guilty of
assault.
But said the Judge. when so many
people are suffering, it was no moro than
human that you should have permitted
this man to pick up few pieces of coke.
While there was no assault, it was certain
ly piece of inhumanity. The charge is
dismissed. and 1 think you had better
preach some other kind of gospel"

leve only those for whom it was the pur-

Storm Prisoners In the Line This
Morning.
Last nights storm had its effect on the
habitual violators of the law, and those
| who have homes were satisfied to stay in
them The many tramps in the city were
pretty well provided for, and only few
| of them were forced to seek shelter in the
| police stations. At the second precinct
| three able-bodied men, strangers in the
city, appeared and asked permission to
| stay until morning. They were accom-
modated, and this morning they were
driven through the snow to the Police
Court, where there were only six members
of Judge KimbalPs procession.
When tn, three men, answering the
names Otto Schmidt, John Wagner and
Frank Miller, appeared at the prison rail

they were liable to become chargeable to

They were given ten days on the farm.
His First Ofense.
Thomas Washington, a young colored
man, was in the procession because of his
conduct on the street last night.
Toms country cousin is visiting him, and
last evening he took him out to give him
an idea of the extent of snow storm in
the city.
While out seeing the town Tom INDUCED
in little spirits and then wanted to ride
home. He hailed snow plow, and, OF
course, the driver would not stop for him.
This angered him, and he directed a Volley
of profanity at the driver of the team.
Hes man of family" was Police
man Thompson's frank statement, and
1 believe this is the first time he has been
arrested
Il hope your honor will forgive me this
time" he said.
Nv hen We're you last arreSted?
Never before"
His personal bonds were taken
This man came to the station last night
and begged me to have him sent down.
said Policeman Mahl. He was talking
about a colored man named John Johnson.
''He said he had no home" the officer
added.
where do you belong?" the court asked.
Il belong here" was his response.
Have you a homer?

ANY place to go?'

Anything to eat?'
Not a thing"
You may have thirty days"
Had u Row.
The last man in the procession was a
young colored man, named Benjamin Pope.
He figured in a row in a saloon last night,
and even after being placed under arrest
he continued to use profanity. This is
what the policeman said, but the prisoner
denied it,
Judge Kimball took the policeman's word
in the case and fined Pope $40 or thirty
days.

GOT HIS MONEY.
Sam Sing Braved the Storm With
Satisfactory Results.

Policeman Bell OF the fifth precinct made
Sam Sing wade through the snow this
morning from his laundry on Sth street
southeast to the Police Court to answer
a charge of having sign in front of his
place in violation of law. When Sam and
his interpreter reached court they were
suffering from the cold and the appearance
of his costume called forth the suggestion
that he put his upper garment in his trou-
sers. Sam had been required to deposit
10 collateral at the police station, and he
had no idea of letting it go by default.
and SO he braved the storm and reached
the court in safety.
Sam told the court through his interpre-
ter that he had removed the sign.
The policeman said that the sign was a
small one. but it was attached to the porch
in front of his laundry, and other mer-
chants had made complaint against the
celestial because they had been made
to remove their signs.
Judge Kin1ball explained that he could
not have the sign attached to the realty.
but he could make portable sign of it and
use it if he keeps it within the legal limit.
Sam got his money back and returned
home.
