Law Index of Little Value.

Law Index of Little Value.
| once asked an attorney whether
an in,lex of law could not be made
such as those outside the profession
could use He said that an index
might be made, and in fact many do
exist but that it could not be put to
universal use because of the lack of
knowledge of basic principles and ia
miliarity of legal terms, and then told
the following story: An owner of
sugar camp had the misfortune to
have a neighbor who kept sheep. One
night the sheep broke through the
rail fence and drank the sap, upset
the sugar troughs and otherwise
played havoc in the camp. The owner
of the camp went to justice OF the
peace of little learning and plenty OF
books who had unfortunately been ad-
mitted to the bar. The case was stat
ed to the legal adviser, who said the
matter wa such perplexing one
that he must consider it for few
days before giving his advice. He
then told his client he thought it un
wise to begin suit as he could not see
as there was any cause for action
The client thought otherwise, an
said it seemed plain to him tina
where one mans sheep broke a fencq
and destroyed another's property T.
law would give damages. The att e.
ney replied, We'll, you don't KIN

tirely distinct from the forensic argu-

preston was that good pleader was

Aldermen Jugg|e a. Resolution
to Issue Bonds Last
Night.
SEVERAL AMENDMENTS.
When Resolution was introduced Alderman
at-Larse Eckert Found Fault with IT
and offered Two Amendments in Sue
cession Then The Matter was Laid
Over.

The building of the new tlre houses
got another set back, at the meeting of
the Board of Aldermen last night
when resolution to issue bonds was
introduced, iuggled for short time
with various amendments and finally
laid over for further consideration.
Alderman Campbell, chairman of
the fire committee, introduced two
resolutions, one called for the issuing
of bonds to the amount of $4,000 for
the purchase of and erection of houses
The other called for the issuing OF
81, 200 in bonds for the purchase of
new apparatus. The bonds were to
run not longer than thirty years and
might be redeemable at any time after
the expiration of five years. They
were to be of not less than $500 each
at a rate not to exceed Az per cent,
Alderman-at- Large Eckert found
fault with the five-year provision and
offered an amendment to make the
bonds for ten years. He then offered
another amendment to have the rate
of interest fixed definitely. By this
time the matter was sufficiently mixed
up to have it laiu over, which was
agreed to.

AMENDMENT TO RULES.
Aldermen Donovan introduced Amendment

The Board of Aldermen took action
last night to deprive the Alderman-at
Large of some of his power. The
rules of the council were amended so
that the appointment of committees
can be regulated by majority of the
board. AS the newly elected presid-
ing officer is Republican and q major
ity of the board is democratic, it is
probable there will be some differ
ences.
The amendment made last night
was presented by Alderman Donovan.
The article amended reads as follows:
''All committees shall be appointed
by the presiding officer unless other
wise provided sor. p"
With the amendment it reads as
follows:
"All committees shall be appointed
by the presiding officer or as other
wise ordered by majority of the
council. -
When John Pfeiffer. thA newl Z
elected aklerman-at-large, was ass
for a statement about the action, he
said there was nothing to say. He
declared it a matter of politics and
that the other fellow might have q
chance some day.
