PostOmce Needs More Room.


Postmaster Hazleton took advantage Of
Congressman Smiths presence in the city
yesterday to lay before him the need of an
addition 70 the federal building. The growth
of the business of the postofice has been
such in tie last few years that the present
quarters are entirely inadequate. Tho
clerks are so crowded that their work is
seriously ~hampe~ed, especially during a
busy period. Il is only a matter OF a short
time when additional room will have to be
provided.
This agitation for increased room at the
postofice is not a new matter. During the
last term Of l.. M, Treynor as postmaster
the attention OF the department was called
to the need Of an addition to the building
and Congressman Smith was then asked to
try to secure an appropriation from the
government OF SIC, 900 to purchase ground
for the proposed addition. 1t was then sug-
gested, and the same plan is now favored,
to erect a wing on the west side of the
building.
Postmaster Hazelton has forwarded to
the department in Washington the p;ans
and specifications for the new fixtures
needed in the postofice. Among other things
they call for 552 new lockboxes, 100 more
than the present number. The section now
used for general delivery fles will be util-
lied for the additional lockboxes in the
event of the department consenting to the
increase.

Matter. in bistrIct Court.

The defense in the sic, 900 personal injury
damage suit Of F. E. Bender against the town
of Minden began it's inning yesterday in the
district court and 1t is expected the Ease
will go to the fury sometime today, The
defense Of the town. which is putting UP a
vigorous tight, is based on several grounds.
The principal contention Of the town Is that
II was never legally Incorporated and there
fore not responsible for the condition OF the
alleged defective sidewalk. 1t is contended
that Bender was guilty Of contributory neg
ligence. Minden began doing business as
an incorporated town in 1890, but the rec
ords of the district court fail to show that
any commission was appointed to conduct
an election. or that the other requirements
governing the incorporation Of a town were
complied with. 1t is also commended on be-
half Of the town that its ordinances were
not legally passed as the clerk failed to
record the yea and nay vote Of the town
council. In a criminal case in the district
court about a year ago the court ruled that
the ordinance under which the defendant
was being prosecuted was invalid for this
reason. Counsel for the plaintiff. however,
contend that even II the court records fail
to show a legal incorporation, the town
cannot now, after having exercised the pow
ers OF an incorporation for twelve years.
shirk responsibility. The case. owing to
the questions involved. is attracting more
than ordinary attention.
In the case Of Dell, Hennessy against the
Milwaukee railroad. Judge Thornell over
ruled the motion for a new trial. The
plaintiff received a verdict Of 500 for the
killing of a horse.
County Attorney Killpack returned yes
terday from Avoca. where he attended the
opening OF the February term Of district
court. The grand jury had nothing to do
but to meet and adjourn, as the east end
Of the county this term presented a clean
bill Of health. No one had been held to the
grand jury and consequently there were no
Indictments to return or no bills to find.
The criminal calendar In the district court
here probably will not be taken up before
the beginning of March. To the county at
torney Judge Thornell stated yesterday that
he believed the civil business would keep
the court going until then.

COURTS COSTLY AFFAIRS
Taxpayers Of Po:tawattamis Required to
Put Up $4,000 Las. Year,
COUNTY AUDITOR COMPLIES FIGURES
Except saiarIes Of District Court
Judges Included I'm These
Figures.

That II costs the taxpayers approximately
$40. 900 TO maintain the courts and judicial
machinery OF Pottawattamie county VIII be
news. For the first time in the history OF
this county the county auditor is now pre-
pairing a financial statement, showing the
cost OF the various departments. This is
In accordance with the new Law. which
went into effect last July. and which re-
quires the count auditor to make a nnan-
cial statement in January of each year,
and requires the County Board Of Supervis-
ors to have same published in pamphlet
form for distribution among the taxpay-
ers.
The work of compiling this statement Is
a tedious one, as It involves the checking
over and listing Of every warrant drawn
on each OF the county funds during the IL
months. Yesterday County Auditor lines
completed the portion OF the statement,
showing the amount expended during 1902
for the maintenance OF the courts. and It
reveals the fact that 1t amounts to about
$40, 900 per annum in Pottswattamie county.
This amount covers the expense OF the
district courts in Council Bluffs and Avoca,
the office OF the clerk OF the district court.
the grand and petit juTies, state witnesses
in court and before grand jury and court
attaches, including court reporters. 1t
does not. however, include the salaries of
the district court judges, as they are paid
by the state. It includes, however, the
~county's portion OF the salary of the judge
CT the superior court, who receives $4,000
, per annum, half of which is paid by the
city. the judge Of the superior court also
acting as judge Of the city police court in
Council Bluffs.
The cost Of maintaining the district courts
in Council Bluffs and Avoca, including the
office Of the clerk of the district court,
amounted in 1902 to 1873, sS9.49. The grand
juries in both places cost s2,066.75. OF
this amount the member of the grand ju-
ries received as mileage and per diem ST.
092. 70, witnesses $S37.SO and bailiffs and
clerks S136. 20.
The cost to the county in 1902 for main
tanning the justice of the peace courts
throughout the county was S2,341.SS. The
justices and constables derive their pay
, from fees paid into court.
The cost Of maintaining a superior court
is a dead loss to the county and taxpayers.
as for a number of terms past practically
no cases have been tried in It, litigants,
as Q rule. preferring to take their suits to
the district court.
I County Auditor Innes expects to have the
entire statement completed in time for the
for the meeting of the Board Of Super
visors on February II.

there is a disease prevalent among the
horses on the reservation that threatens

other. 1t is a constitutional disease, pro-
duces suppuration, is incurable and inva-
riably fatal, although an infected animal
