 The present term Of the grand jury of the United States District court in Mill waukee shows the good effect of the law recently enacted placing the dis trict attorney and the marshal on reg ular salaries. At previous terms when those officers were paid in fees, the court was congested with petty cases by the deputy marshals largely to get the fees involved. As the Milwaukee of the court the corridors and the stair ways leading to the courtroom, and every available space in the railways, were thronging with the dusky children of the forest, either as principals or witnesses in cases that were so abso- lutely absurd that their presentation to the juryinen did little more than pro- yoke a semi judicial smile to be fol- lowed by a discharge. Indians were arrested on trumped-up charges, some of them two and three years old, and brought to Milwaukee at an expense to the government of hundreds of dol lars each, the greater portion of which went into the pockets of the marshal and the district attorney as fees. In- dians discharged from custody were advanced the money to return to the reservation on condition that they would prefer complaints against other Indians, and when. they were brought to Milwaukee as prosecuting witnesses in the new cases, the money advanced was deducted from their fees as wit nesses.

Some sleeved bodices are being fresh- ened up for the early season with braided bolero fronts let in at the side seams. A dark brown and red mixed front braided closely with black. A high ceinture of black satin may be added, the ceinture going around the waist while the bolero effect is only in front.

It has been bad year for State fairs in the West. Iowa's fair failed miser- ably. As for several years past, it was unable to pay it's premiums. Wiscon- sin, which usually has a good fair, found itself in the same financial trou- ble. when the fair closed, as Iowa, and had it not been for the public spirit of some of the citizens, would also have suffered the disgrace of not paying its premiums Ohio and Indiana both lost money on their fairs, and the Illinois fair did little better. By comparison the Minnesota fair was a great suc- cess, and that, too, despite the fact that it was free from the sensational attractions which have been added to such fairs elsewhere, and which have no legitimate place in an agricultural exhibition, or in fact anywhere else. Perhaps it was because of this clean character of the exhibition that the managers of the Minnesota fair netted the handsome profit of $10OOU.

cally settled upon Gould for Chairman
before they arrived, but Los Angeles
proved to be Of a different mind about
the matter and wanted the southern
end of creation recognized. William
L. Arthur had acted as Chairman of
the Republican Convention and Charles
A. Barlow did likewise for the Popu-
lists, and the Democrats from the south
believe the precedent should be recog-
Dized. They wanted southern man
for Chairman, and they wanted him
bad, and to that end commenced
boom for w. A. Ryan or Los Angeles.
AT first appearance the boom was no
larger than mans hand, but at a late
hour 1T had grown to gigantic proper

just as confident as they did earlier in

HORRIBLE DESTITUTION.
The SilverIock Children Have Been
Terribly Neglected.

The Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children have been for the
past two days investigating the case Of
the Silverlock children, which was re-
ported to it recently.
In consequence, a horrible state Of af-
fairs has been developed, which would
be unfit for publication. The mother
is serving q term in the County JAIL
and the father has been In the habit Of
giving the children some bread in the
morning, and then locking up remain
ing food and going away for the day
leaving them in the house in the alley,
between Q and r, near Seventh street.
He has, until a few days ago, been
employed at a salary Of SIS week, but
the officers Of the society who went
there yesterday say that such a sight
or squalor and wretchedness never be-
fore met their eyes. The four children,
ranging from to years Of age, and
one Of whom is an imbecile, had not
enough of clothes to cover their naked
ness, and their apology for a bed was
miserable makeshift. The neighbors
tell horrible stories Of the neglect and
insult to which the little ones have
been subjected It seems almost incred-
ible that such a state Of affairs could
exist IN a civilized community. The
children will to-day be taken to the
County Hospital for a few days and
cleansed and decentIy clothed, while
some plan Of taking care Of them is
evolved, and legal steps will be taken
to-day to remove one child to the Home

THE IROQUOIS RECEPTION.
The local Iroquois Club turned out In
full force to meet and greet their San
Francisco brethren and smoke the pipe
of peace preparatory to having their
initial meeting. The club was formed
about two months ago, at which time
officers were elected as follows: Pres
ident, e. G. Ely; First Vice-President,
C. T. Hughes; Second Vice-President,
A. Mazzini; Treasurer. F. t. Lyman;
Financial Secretary, G. Randall; Re
cording Secretary, J. II. Watkins;
Board Of Directors-H. M. sLaRue, "A.
c. Hinkson, P. Kelly, D. j. Mannix.
Owing to the fact that the officers
had been neither initiated nor installed,
they were unable to act, and 1T was in
order that proper initiation might be
had that the Bay tribe were invited to
sit around the camp fire and take part
in the council.
When the $40 train pulled in last
night the local braves were drawn up in
rather close skirmish line at the rail-
| road depot, each ready to emit the
Democratic war whoop and wave his
little hatchet" to his hearts content.
| band was in attendance which dis
coursed such airs as "Old Jefferson" !"
| s.n ri,op ND
Paradise Alley" and when the benign
| countenances and white hats of the San
Francisco tribe emerged from the train,
the band blared out a welcome, and yell
after yell went UP. Then there was
much shaking of hands and ton1a-
hawks, and the nimble-fingered gentry
tested several Iroquois' pockets, though
| with very scant result, before the line
| of march was taken UP for the local
| headquarters on Seventh street.
Allalong theline the city had turned out
| TO view the marching warriors, and they
were accorded a hearty welcome every
where. All the Roman candles in the
| city and many of those in San Fran
cisco had been bought up to be served
as sauce for the occasion, apparently,
for every warrior had his pockets full,
and the line Of march was fairly alive
| with fireba1ls.
The Sacramento club had the van
and, during the rests taken by the
band, put in the time uttering their
war whoop, which commenced with
something like "Rahl Rahi Rahl" and
ended with something which, when
| translated, meant "Iroquois" Colonel
Pealer had command Of the local Iro-
quois. and gave his commands with all
| the force of a Second Lieutenant In the
midst of a mob.
| Notable amongst the arriving war;
riors was the form of Max Pepper
| Even the most recent recruit would
have picked Max out for a politician Of
the first class. He was suavity itself
and yet the smooth wire-Worker showed
| through it all. Max Pepper was evil
IDENTIFY born to the business, and fell
naturally into his place.
Then about the center of the line
| came big John Fay, the Ironsides Of
| North Beach, and from somewhere, not

far away, came William J. Biggy, the
Senator who raised such a howl near
the close Of the last Legislature by de-
nouncing his fellows Senator Dunn with
having accepted bribes from various
corporations. Biggy, however, did not
come on the $40 train, but arrived
from the south, where he had been
spending his vacation.
The line of march of the braves was
on Second street to X, up K to Seventh,
and on Seventh to Pioneers Hall, into
which they dived and shut the doors on
the inquisitive crowd of sight-seers until
after the new club had been properly
acknowledged, and its members in
itiated and properly started upon their
career as full-fedged Iroquois braves.
Then the doors were thrown open and
q general jollification ensued, and all
went merry, notwithstanding that in
st. Louis things were settling down into
a state to be summarized in the phrase
Mckinley or bust"
Then at $40 o'clock another train ar
rived from the Bay bearing the resi-
due of the delegates from that locality.
and the crush around headquarters at
the Golden Eagle became sitting. The
delegates from the south had arrived
earlier in the day, as had also those
from many of the mountain counties,
and the mass of humanity in the shape
OF representative Democrats would have
been an interesting study had it not
been for the extreme heat. Here was
to be seen Pepper and j. j. McDade;

Among the newspaper men were seen
Charles Shortridge, editor of the San
francisco Call" Albert Scarf of the
Los Angeles Herald" Vrosier Of the
Los Angeles Times" while the San
Francisco papers all had the usual con-
tingent on the ground.
A feature of the day was a score or
SO Of quiet, unassuming women, dressed
neatly, but plainly, wearing red, white
and blue badges. They were very
hcme.ike women, these. and represented
the recently formed order of "anti-suf-
fIagists." They do not want the bal
lot; believe the home Is the place where
somans influence is most needed and

THE STEAM ROLLER.
Mayor Hubbard Wants 1t Kept
Constantly at Work

At the meeting Of the City Trustees
last night the following message from
Mayor Hubbard was received:
To the Honorable Board of Trus-
tees: The steam road-roller for which
you have contracted, and which has
been tried on the streets during the
past two weeks, I have no doubt will
be pronounced satisfactory, and as soon
as your board will officially ac-
cept the sames I would recommend
that the roller be kept in service as
much as possible.
All the graveled streets in the city
need to be rolled. The few blocks that
have been experimental on show con-
cluslVely that running this roller over
them is of great benefit. It prevents
cooolestones from working UP to the
surface. The weight of the machine
passing over them presses them back
into place and renders the street much
smoother. OF course, it will not ill up
depressions In the street, but it makes
a great Improvement, and we should
take advantage of 1t before 1t is put
into service on contract work.
I would also suggest that, in renting
the roller to contractors, the city fur
nfsh an engineer, fuel. OFF, ETC., to op-
crate it,and that the price to be charged
for the use of said roller thus equipped
be fixed at $40 per day, or S12 per half
day.
The engineer In charge of the ma
chine should have experience in hand
ling 1T, and 1T would not be advisable
to change the engineer evry time. a
contractor wanted to use it. In fact.
one man should be placed in charge Of
the roller and continue to operate it.
Il would also suggest that when the
roller is accepted by the city, a sheet
iron bin be constructed so as to enlarge
the space for holding coal, so that the
roller could take on a ton of coal at
a, time. This would save delays in
loading, and would be much more con-
venient in many ways The expense
would not be over $40 or S25. and this
would soon be saved by the difference
In cost between coal in bulk and smaller
quantities sacked.
AS business proposition, If this
roller is of benefit to the streets in pack
ing. leveling and smoothing them, as I
think all who have seen it operate will
assert, the city would without doubt
be we'll repaid for the expense incurred
by rolling 1t over the streets at all times
when not required by contractors on
new work"
