East Side Brides Who ''Take Back'
Their Rented Trousseaus.
From the New York Herald
Madison street braces up little down
near the police station. and thereabout is
a Fest of curious shops. One of them has
in the window, in English and Hebrew,
this sign:
wedding Dresses to Hire
I went into this shop the other day, ex-
planned after a struggle that I was
prompted by curiosity and not by a desire
to prepare for approaching nuptials, and
asked just what the sign meant.
The proprietor led me into a rear room
a sitting closet that reminded one of a
Turkish bath-lifted the lid Of big chest
and pointed out pile of white satin gar
ments, little faded, but wonderfully be-
flounced and bedizened.
There" he said.
And do women who are to be married
come here and hire these dresses and re-
turn them after the wedding?"
''Why?"
"Well most women here can't afford a
nice wedding dress, but they all want to
look beautiful on their wedding day, so I
have these dresses and SO they come to
me-
Then one of these dresses has been worn
by several women"
Maybe hundred. One dress costs them
a dollar, a better one two or three. 1t is
great risk. They are not always careful
the dress back to me with their own hands
the next day. / do not think there is much
money in the trade, though. Perhaps not
SO many get married now. Is the east
side getting rich that it can afford we'd
ding dresses of its own, or poor that it
cannot afford to marry?'
And l. not knowing, had to leave him
struggling with his own problem.

We believe that hard times, poor crops
and the various calamities that strike
the business column as it passes along.
hit hardest the honest retail dealer in
dry-goods, groceries, and the other nec-
essaries OF life, who has, by trusting his
customers through the pinch. endeav-
ored to help them solve their problem
Of living until better times should come.
Hundreds of families have thus been
helped through the past summer by the
retail dealer, at the greatest of risk to
himself. Many of them, here and there,
have failed in business because of it, or
partly because Of it.
If debts were not contracted, or If.
they could be paid promptly when due,
business men could meet their engage
ments. but when they trust customers
for goods and cannot or do not get their
pay, there must be an end, and it is
generally not in favor Of the dealer.
We all owe it to those grocers, mer-
chants and others Who have carried US
through the past summer, to meet our
obligations with them at the very first
moment possible.
Each amount may be small only a
few dollars, all the better for us-but
when footed up by the dealer, they
make a good, round sum, which, if he
had in "spot cash." would pay his bills.
take the burden of his mind, and lift
of his heart which has been his during
all the waking hours, for many past days
and nights.
Think Of yourself as in his place, and
you will surely make sacrifice in order
to square up" square is a good word1
and start again with fresher courage.
We happen to know with what anxiety
some of our best business men entered
the work Of the past summer, and how
nobly they have done their duty to their
customers. and the community Of busi-
ness interests of which they are an i'm
portant part.
When nearly every individual was
doubtful and respondent as to what the
outcome would be, and whether those
trusted for the necessaries of life could
be able to pay at the end Of the season.
these men took the risk and have carried
us through thus far -.
Now, let US give them a lift by paying
Immediately. If not all, then the greater
part Of what We owe them.

The books in the county treasureris
Office Of Platte county show that there
have have been received the following
fees since January 1st, 1892: Jury fees
in civil cases, $40; in criminal cases, $99
or total of s17S, actual fees paid over
to the county treasurer, by Gus Speice,
clerk, since 1892, or four full years.
Now, is it fact that We have had but
three jury trials, a year or have We had
more: The jurors who sat on the differ
ent cases will know it to be fact that
We have had more. II We had ten at
each term OF court and four terms per
year. it would be forty cases for which
should be turned over by Clerk Speice
in four years $500. As he has turned
over but s17s, he would have on hand,
on this basis, S622 Of county funds on
jury cases. The statute of the state
reads as follows, section 1923 page 700:
There shall be paid by the party against
whom q averdict is rendered, in the dis
trict court, a Jury fee OF five dollars, to
be taxed in the bill Of costs, and when
collected to be paid into the county
treasury; and for each trial by the court
fee Of one dollar, to be taxed, collected,
and paid in a like manner, for the use Of
the county" Section 3029 provides az
above, only a fee of six dollars is charged
in criminal cases. What has become Of
these fees?.
