JUVENILES SUCCEED ADULTS
Children at Detention House VIII
Receive Donations of the Y.
w. c. A. This Year.

The local Women's Christian Temperance
union will give its Christmas treat to the
children OF the Douglas county detention
home this year instead OF the prisoners Of
the county jail. as has been their custom
for many years.
This decision was reached at a meeting
Wednesday afternoon. after a spirited dis
cusson, in which It developed that the ma
jority of the members had long been OPP
posed to taking sweemeats to the jail and
had only continued the custom out OF re-
spect to Mrs. Jardine, who established 1t
years ago. The general opinion was -that
too much sentiment was wasted upon cal
loused lawbreakers that might be expended
with profit upon juvenile offenders, and
that, as Omaha and Nebraska have fallen
into the line of progress with a Juvenile
court and probation system. II is the bust
ness of such organizations as the Womens
Christian Temperance union TO give their
aid TO a work OF prevention rather than TO
the reforming of adults. many of whom.
according TO Sheriff Power preferred stay
ing in jail TO earning living for them
selves and family. The men at the jail
will not be entirely overlooked. and Christ
mas morning the union will give TO each
prisoner a spray OF holly with some appro-
pirate sentiment of Bible verse attached
by a white ribbon. the emblem Of the
Womens Christian Temperance union. In
stead of the fruit and candy that have
been sent In the past
The afternoon of December a. the union
will go to the detention home with a box
OF bon bons and fruit and a gift for each
child IT. that institution.

ENJOYABLE Parlor Meetlnn.

\ very enjoyable parlor meeting was
held at the home of Mrs. J. \, Ballan-
tyne ON the afternoon of December 10.
Some of those who had promised to
take part were unavoidably absent,
hut volunteers SO promptly tilled the
program that the delinQuents were
scarcely missed. There was a very
general discussion OF points outlined
In the program and many suggestive
thoughts engaged our attention. One
or two of the speakers did not cOufine
themselves closely to their own part
of the subject but stepped lightly over
the boundary line of their neighbors'
enclosures, but those thus crowded
upon only smiled and tackled of on
some collateral subject.
Apples raw. cooked and made into
cider We're treated with more or less
wisdom and some earnestness The
thoughts ! remember most clearly are
that the spring is the time to prepare
against wormy apples 10y spraying Sc
if We would avoid wormy social Condi
tions. the children must have nstruc
tiou. and better yet, example in the
right direction
That cider is dangerous is known b!
! experience and observation, Tha
there are all kinds and qualities q
apples, the sweet, the sour, the insipid
the misshapen, the wormy and the de
cayed. Men chat is, the whole human
family are like apples in this respect
That some apples of inferior Qualit.

A Goose Surprise.

Sometime ago c. II. Krahn invested
in a fine goose which was to he fat
tened for the holiday time, but after
eXpending considerable time in look
ing after his gooseship, one morning he
had disappeared, and there was con
siderable comment among the neigh.
bors as to what had happened to Mr.
Goose. Christmas night number of
the neighbors, about fifteen of them,
gathered together and proceeded to the
Nrahn home with a fine, fat roasted
goose and some other good things
which make Christmas cheer and sur.
prised the family, and told them thai
the goose had come back. Needless
to say the goose could not be reCoa
ni2ed without his feathers and thai
they had a good time for several hours
Mr.. Krahn says he doesn't care if his
Xmas goose does wander away if h,
will always come back in as good
shape as this one in time for the holi
day planned for him.

said To him: Maybe you want some
of it?" and as Lodge backed away
James followed him. Finally Lodge
reached out and seized James by the
arms James twisted his arms around
until he got the gun against Lodges
stomach and then fired. Lodge fell a
few moments later and died
The witness said that the crowd
used James pretty roughly beating
him up considerably about the head.
The district attorney produced
magazine belonging to an automatic
revolver and the witness identified it
rs one he had taken from jones few
minutes after the shooting
Cross-eNamincd, the witness said
that when James demanded the re-
volycr from Norton and Norton hesi-
tatcd to give II to him, he remarked
that If it was not given up he would
go and get a shotgun and spoil the
whole game.
A second witness was called who
corroborated the testimony of Gray
regarding the shooting, after which
a recess was taken until 10 o'clock
this morning.
The prosecution has not been able to
locate the revolver with which it is
alleged James did the shooting The
nearest they have come to it is to
produce the magazine that belonged to
an automatic revolver such as James
is said to have had. 1t is whispered
that there is a history attached to the
disappearance of the weapon, but it
seems certain now that the prosecution
will not be able to produce it,
1t is rumored that the defense Of
James will be that he had no intention
# shooting Lodge, but that when
lodge seized his hands the gun was
accidentally discharged

ABOUT BRIDGE BIDS
Commissioner Harding Makes Clear
Explanation Of the Matter.

Meadow Grove Ncb Dec. 26.-To
the taxpayers of Madison county: II
would seem from reading an article
which recently appeared in the Madi-
son Chronicle that the county board
might be prCjudiced when 1t comes to
letting the contract for bridge work.
The statutes provide that bridge work
shall he let by contract The board
advertised for bids. II did not bar
any one, and If any contractor accom-.
panied his bid with a box of cigars
did not see any, so that must be false
Our contract price for wood work any
length complete for 1905 is 81 35
per 'lnoal foot, so you see 1t requires
no expert to figure that. The question
arises how can the contractor afford
to do the work for so small a figure?
For the simple reason that he builds
bridges in about half the counties in
the state or half the states in the
union If he makes a profit, say of
$500 in one county you see they are
making a pretty good thing, whereas
that amount divided among our lum-
Der dealers would be very small The
tax payers get the benefit of this ar
rangcmcnt.
In 1904 the lumber dealers of Madi-
son county charged $27 and $50 a
thousand for bridge lumber. Our con
tractor furnishes bridge lumber for
$40 and $2S per thousand this year and
our home dealers say lumber has
raised $500 per thousand.
We have done more bridge and re-
pair work this year than in any one
year, and with ten mill levy this
year we have been able to meet all
our obligations. My intention is to
work for the best interest of the tax
payers of Madison county, and when
ever a bid for any contract or claim
comes before the board that think is
not just, | am ready to reject it, re-
gardless of friends or party.
John H. Harding,
County Commissioner.
