 DENIED BY GRACE
County Judge Gould Will Try Local Saloon Keeper Who Sought Writ oi Prohibition to Prevent Him From Doing Sc.

Judge A. E. Grace, in the Jefferson circuit court yesterday refused to grant the prayers of John F. Wells, 9 local saloonist, who sought to have a writ of prohibition issued to pre- vent County Judge Gould from trying him in he county court on charge of pertlitting gambling in his. saloon building. Judge Gould had cited Wells to aDpe Ii, ill his court and show cause why his license should not be revok- ed for that offense The petition was flied by Attorneys White and Altheim- CT, of this city, who contended that Judge Gould did not have the legal authority to determine Wells guilt or innocence of the charge. The attor- neys claim that tho defendant must be adjudged guilty of the charge pre- fcrrod against him, in the criminal court.
 County Judge Gould is in Wash ington at present, but upon his re- turn he will probably call the Wells case and pass upon it. If the evidence justifies it, Judge Gould will revoke the license of Wells and his saloon will be close'i.

How the Evil Ono Came to Be Popu-
IarIy Known as "The Old Scratch"
One of the many familiar names Of
his satanic majesty is 'The Old
Scratch" 1t is undoubtedly due to
the fact that scratching is so disa-
greeable that people thought it no
worse than the evil one. A scalp full
OF dandruff keeps one scratching all
the time; not only disagreeable. but
considered very inelegant in polite so
ciety-as 1t should be-because one
ought to keep the scalp so clean that
1t would not itch. To cure the scalp
of dandruff effectively, use Newbro's
Herpicides 1t kills the germ that Gre
ates the dandruff, which is prelimi-

Local Comment


Councilman Devine's position on this
electric light and gas ordinance might
be misunderstood unless person could
hear the doctor explain himself on the
subject Mr.. Devine believes that our
rates could be reduced in fairness to
the company, and he is going to favor
a reduction when, upon proper inves-
tigation, it appears what specific re-
duction will be fair and reasonable. Aoe
the doctor knows that If rates are ar
bitrarily set by ordinance, without
careful inquiry and investigation being
made. they will be knocked out in the
courts on the one charge that the
council did not inform itself as to what
rate would be reasonable one.
&
The thing that makes Councilman
Devine tired, however, is that the rec
ord is being confused. He contends
that all Of the rates now in force have
been enacted by previous city coun-
ellis, and that if they are wrong the
councils and councilmen who enacted
them should be censured rather than
the company abused. He says that the
company has always accepted the
rates established by ordinance. He
wants the record kept straight as to
who has been responsible in the past
for the rates now in force, and which
are too high.
On this point the less controversy
we have with Mr.. Devine the better,
for it is unquestionably. true that
electric light and gas rates have been
established by city councils. The or
dinances, however, have always been
the results of compromises between
what the council wanted and what the
company's lawyers would agree to ac-
cept without a lawsuit. This time the
company ought to be made to produce
its books and then rates could be es-
tablished which would be known to be
fair to the company. If the investors
can pay the interest on their bonds, a
reasonable depreciation charge, current
maintenance without including extern
sions, and can take out cash dividends
OF, s per cent on the amount which
they have actually invested in their
equity, the rest OF the earnings ought

York City. who will build the block
and remodel the frame building.
Mr.. Hot.chkss is represented In the
city by Mr.. l.. A. Davis, an architect
Of South Omaha, Neb. Mr.. Davis was
seen this afternoon, and said a brick
building OF not less than two stories,
and possibly three In height would be
built on the East Main street land.
The ground dimensions Of the build

deep as the lot, which is $50 feet 1t
may be decided not to build the entire
length Of the lot. The building. accord
ing to Mr.. Davis, is to be first class
and modern in every particular
Mr.. Davis said that no plans had
been drawn for the building as yet.
but that the general idea was to erect
a block having two store rooms on the
ground floor with either offices or
lodge room and quarters up stairs
This general plan may be greatly
changed should tenant be found be-

will be made to suit the renter.

made an estimate, that the building
would cost between $4,000 and $780,

To Move Old Home.
The old Getz home Is to be moved
onto the north forty-four feet Of what
was formerly the land owned by A. e.

building and for excayating the cellar
was let today. The work of moving
1t will begin Monday. The improve

cost not less than $4,000 and perhaps a
great deal more. The first floor Ia to
be rearranged into a fiat Of seven
rooms, exclusive of bath, and the up
stairs is to be made into flat3of six
rooms, exclusive Of bath.
Secured Property on Foreclosure.
Mr. Hotchkiss secured the Getz
property thru foreclosure proceedings
about two years ago. He has realized
that the property Is too valuable for
business purposes to be allowed to re-
main idle, and the Improvement con-
templated Is q move to realize on what
Mr.. Hotchkiss already has in the prop-
