Ninth warders met at Robert Nc

and Endorsed DR.. A. w. Whitney for
health commissioner.
Some time ago q wave of economy
In municipal expense passed over our
city, in pursuance of which the sal
aries OF policemen and flremen were
cut" said a local justice of the peace
yesterday, but in looking over the
general expense account, it was found
that the municipal court was a ire
mendous luxury, and that from sc, 900
to $1,000 a year could be saved there
by doing away with the civil depart
ment thereof. For instance, during
the month Of February, the revenue Of
that branch Of the municipal court was
less than $100-while the expense there
Of was about $500 for the same period
but to throw dust into the eyes of the
taxpayers the madames were called
upon to pay a two monthly fine. thus
increasing the revenues of the GRIM
1nal part Of said court by nearly q
thousand dollars for that month. Sc
by punching the two together the court
made a good showing for February
but If the civil department of that
court had not existed the city would
have been nearly $500 ahead.
But to Offset the crusade against the
municipal courts, the gentlemen from
st. Paul and Minneapolis, with some
of the lesser lights Of the bar that
class of lawyers that hang around the
municipal court, like vultures hover
over carrion, have entered into con.
spiracy against the taxpayers and cit.
liens of the two cities generally by
abolishing the only courts that costs
nothing to the commonwealth, and are
least expensive to the litigants. and
are the true courts Of the people t.
settle minor differences With each 9th.

Gates Identifies Jester.

Guthrie, Ok, June 2S.-J. W
Gates, president of the American
Wire 81 Steel Co, yesterday identi.
fed Alexander Jester in Jail at TIE.
cumseh on a charge OF numbering
a brother of Gates, twenty eight
years ago in Missouri.
Ths Identification took place in
the jail at Tecumseh, whsre Jester
is confined and under most dramatic
circumstances.
Under Sheriff Ward had abou. Is
prisoners sitting together in the cor
ridor Of the Jail when the party en-
tered.
With scarcely a moments hesita
ton, Mr.. Gates. after a glance at
the prisoners, fixed his eyes on Jest
sr and walking up to him said:
"Mr. Jester, do you not remember
me?"
The old man stared at him for
moment when he dropped his eyes
and replied in an almost inaudible
tone:
"No."
"Do you not remember me trans-
ferring you from the Jail at Paris,
Mo, to have the papers read to you
for the murder Of ny brother?" ask
ed M Gates.
Jes;er made no response. His
head b mt further forward, his face
began working convulsively and
then hs broke down and bsgan to
weep
10 a minute or two he broksnly
replied that hs had forgotten.
Don't you think 1t is time" ask
ed Dir. Gates, ''for you to repent OF
the foul deed you committed when
you took the life of my brother,
then cat hole in the ice and showed |
his body through it,"
Jester seemed completely over |
come, and after a moments silence
murmured in broken tones:
God forgive me, God forgive
me-"
In few moments he recovered |
his composure to some extent and
begged Mr.. Gates not to talk any
more about his brothers death.
