Julia Ryan Hickey was born in the
/ county of Limerick, Ireland. 50 years
ago. Her girlhood was passed. in the
vicinity of the city of the violated
treaty, and she early learned the story
of the gallant defense of Limerick by
brave Irishmen and women. She
brought the true Irish spirit to her
American home and she retained her
patriotism to the end. She was one of
those Irish mothers who are fading
with the flight Of years: those mothers
who have put a crown on the brow of
Irish womanhood; who have suffered,
and sacrificed comfort and pleasure
for the welfare of their homes and for
their children's sake Those mothers
are passing from earth to their reward
in heaven. Three such mothers lately
departed this life in North Minneap-
oils
Mrs. Hickey came to this city 20
years ago, and here she lived with her
devoted sons and daughters. and she
rounded out her beautiful life in peace
and comfort. She was all a mother
could be. affectionate. kind, always
thoughtful Of her children's welfare,
and neighbor in fact and deed to the
sick and needy. Her memory will long
be cherished by all who knew her. The
Catholic church was her anchor. She
was loyal to the old faith and every
Sunday and holy day she turned her
face towards the Temple Of God. When
the infirmities Of age kept her indoors
sist at holy mass.
She died peacefully. her soul bathed
in the sunlight of Gods grace, her
loved ones kneeling around her bed,
the heart that had beaten so long and
lovingly grew still, the tired hands
were folded.
| The deceased leaves four sons and
five daughters. These are Patrick and
Michael of the fire department, James,
employed at the state capitol; William
of Chicago; Mrs. Mary White. Missou-
Ia, Mont, Mrs. Margaret Kehoe, wild
ow of the late district fire chief; Mrs.
John o'Neill, Mrs Aubert and Miss Ju-
liza Hickey.
Her funeral was held Saturday
morning with requiem mass at Ascen-
sion church. Her pastor paid high
tribute to her fidelity. her Christian
life and her devotion. to religion. The
pallbearers We're Peter Mitchell. Jas.

According to the semi-annual report
of the expenditures Of the various city
departments from Jan. to June 80,
this year, submitted by the city COM
troller, the departments are keeping
fairly well within their appropriations.
so far as can be determined at the mid
year scrutiny The city started out the
year with deficiency above appropria-
tions Of the year before, of $4s,s33.s4.
After making this up, there was left
from the new appropriations, total
of $1,447,396.l6 as the amount avail
able for 1908. The expenditures for
the first six months for all departments
totaled $715,5oo.91, leaving $7s1, 1,ss5.25
for the remaining six months. The
fire department cost the city $242,5S9.-
"a the last half year, as compared with
$159,s0s.14 for the police department.
The account for street opening ex-
pense" shows a remarkable state in
that the expenditure was much less
than half the total amount available,
being only s342, out Of total of $500.
The Bethany Home fund does even
better by having still to its credit the
full $50 allowed it for the year.

M, A. Hudson, Foreman Of the
Grand jury:
We, the undersigned. a. commit
tee appointed and duly empowered
to examine the dockets of the just
ices of the peace of this, jefferson
county, make this our report as the
result of our investigation
We find that some OF the magis-
trates fail to keep a record of fees
Of the justice and constable as re-
quired by law.
y We find that in some cases many
more witnesses than are necessary
are summoned, and in appeal or
felony cases are required to appea,
also before the circuit court, thus
entailing a heavy and unnecessary
expense upon the tax payers.
We find many cases which ar.
evidently frivolous prosecutions Ly
which unfortunate victims are sub
iected to unnecessary hardships, an
noyance and expense.
We find fourteen cases on the
docket of J. H. Brooks, j. P. OF
Pastoral township, in which infor-
nation was filed by the assistant
prosecuting attorney and then these
cases were dismissed upon his mo-
ton, after the victims had been
mu1cted in the sum Of $40 attor.
ney's fees, paid for getting them

Believing that publicity Is the
best remedy for graft and othe.
abuses in public office, we wish to
state plainly some of the facts which
we found to exist in the court OF
J. H. Baldwin of Washington town
ship, as revealed by the pages of his
docket, a transcript of few cases
from which is made upon the sheets
attached hereto and marked Exhib-
its A, B and c. It will be seen that
there are seven cases of felonies
here, filed upon information of the
assistant prosecuting attorney, and
all of them dismissed upon his mo-
ton at a cost to the over-burdened
and long-suffering tax payers .(of
Jefferson county of the enormous
sum of $149.65, as costs in only
seven cases. In some of these cases
the constable charges for summon
ing twelve witnesses, and in some

OF them ten witnesses. The consta-
bic also charges in some cases wit
ness fees for himself.
We have information that ne
groes have been arrested upon va
rlous trumped-up charges by the
constable Of Washington township
and carried out of the township in
which they lived, and brought be-
fore the court of Justice Baldwin.
This system of persecution has been
going on for years to the hurt and
injury OF the accused and to the
great annoyance, Inconvenience and
loss to their employers. We do not
attempt to characterize the pecu-
liar method of procedure observed
in Esquire Baldwin's court. but We
do not hesitate to say that the ef-
feet is to loot the county treasury,
and in the interest of the tax pay
ers we wish to urge the Honorable
county Judge to scrutinize with the
greatest care all cost bills presented
to him for allowance by the justice
of the peace and the constable of
Washington township.
Another matter which deserves
mention is the way in which the
amount of fines and, costs are as
sessed in gambling and bawdy
house cases, particularly. and in
some Of the other cases We find
what seems to be a uniform scale
Of fines and costs in these cases. Tn
gambling cases the fine is only ten
dollars, while the prosecuting attor-
ney's fee is twenty-five dollars In
baWdE house cases the fine is five
dollars, While the prosecuting attor-
ney's fee is ten dollars. In case
OF assault and battery we find fine
OF one dollar and the prosecuting
attorneys fee ten dollars. We. sue-
&est that in these cases there should
not be such a elaring discrepancy
between the amount of the fine AMI
the prosecuting attorneys fee. The
fine should be at least as large as
the prosecuting attorneys fee, If for
no other reason than to show that
the criminal statutes were not en-
acted solely in the financial inter
est Of the peace officers.
We would suggest that steps be
taken at once to COLLECT the amounts
due and unpaid by constables and
by county officers, whose legitimate
fees exceed the limit of 200 net.
