JUDGE Wits opINIoN-NoJ JURISDICTION;

Judge 8. B. Witt of the Hastings
Court, rendered his opinion Monday
June 18th in the Jackson Ward Eiee-
tion Gases declaring that his court did
not have jurisdiction and he therefore
would dismiss the petition.

draw up this petition. Mr.. Walter
Christian was requested to furnish a
COPY of the record and by Friday

The remarkable part of the whole az
fair is that HIS Honor, Judge s. b
Witt admitted that councilmen are Of

dent that the Hastings Court has 1u-
risdietion so far as this specific statute
is concerned. He declares also that II

The Omaha road is, about to have an
addition constructed on the south end
of the baggage room at the union de-
pot. to be leased by the American
Express Co. and used for its night
transfer business The addition will
be twenty-five feet long and will be
of the same style of architecture and
same material as the present building.
The contractors were on the ground
yesterday taking the measurements
and will commence work as soon as
possible. The platform will also be
extended south.
Express packages for parties in this
city will be delivered from the depot
when this improvement has been
made Mr.. Haney will have direct
charge of this station, under the super
vision of Agent Pfeffer, and will have
room in the building and sleep
there. The new arrangement will
Tighten the work of the office and will
probably do away with the use OF one
of the wagons.

MR.. WHITE REMAINS.
Signs Another Three Year Contract With
the Deering People.

John A. White has concluded not to
leave Mankato, a fact which his
friends will be glad to know. When he
conceived the idea of organizing the
State Bank of Hendricks it was with
the intention of going there to super
wise the business personally, and he
resigned his position as general agent
for the Deering Harvester Co. This
step was taken June list last, to take
effect Sept. list, but later the program
was changed byMr. White signing an
other contract with the company for
three years. He has arranged with B.
E. Balquist, of Forest City, Iowa, to
take his place as cashier of the bank
at Hendricks, and this gentleman was
duly installed in the position Oct.
4th Mr. White has concluded to stay
by the Deering people and will push
their interests as hard as ever or
harder, if possible.
Hendricks is growing town located
in a beautiful tract of country, close
to a fine lake five miles long and one
and half wide, with nice pebble and
sand beach, pure water, good depot
and plenty of fish. The country tribu-
tary has been settled for 25 years
largely with thrifty Scandinavians and
Germans The town is bound to be a
good one.

BOTH ARMS BROKEN.

Carl, the eight year old son of
Charles Anderson, who resides on
North Sixth street was so unfortunate
as to have both bones of one arm and
one bone of the other elbow
broken late Saturday afternoon. He
had been practicing jumping from
high places all day, and concluded that
he would be able to jump from the
top of the barn, some eighteen feet
high. When he got up there, being
bare footed, he concluded to climb
down and put his shoes on first, but
before he could do so the wind forced
him off and he fell to the ground His
playmates informed the neighbors and
he was carried in the house and DR..
Warner was summoned. The lad is
now nearly HELPLESS, and is also suffer
ing from bruises on his shoulder and
scratches on his face.
