LAWYERS IN GERMANY.
They Cannot Advertise, and Their Fees
Arc Fixed by Law.

wv ssNSA W e0"s
The German law fixes the exact fees
which German attorney has to claim
for all kinds of professional work, and
the rechtsanwalt can charge neither
more nor less.
These fees apply to all matters of
the civil code and of criminal cases
The amount. according to the Green
Bag. depends exclusively on the value
of the object of coutention
1t is All old though still unfulf1led
wish of German lawyers to have a
now fixed list of fees. not made after
the old and low standard of the year
1879. but made with consideration to
the changrS-thc numerous decided
changeS-w which lave taken place since
that year.
The rechtsanwalt is attorney and
counselor nt lnsv al in one tin England
solicitor and hnrliSlnl, :" rechtsan.
walt can never ln. il business man. as
is the case in the Inltpd States.
The exercise of the law is not to be
considered IL calling of profession. but
is to be looked ON more as Il public
office. According to the lawyers code
of the LIST of July. 1873. Il lawyer is
charged publicly with certain duties.
He is Obliged TO have his residence
In the town or district where he is ap.
pointed ESQ called residence dutyl.
Further. he must conduct himself in
and out of office in Il way befitting his
professional and social standing-i. e.,
duty dae to his rank. Thus n lawyer
is forbidden to advertise in newspa-
pers. 10y canvassing, ETC.. or to buy
or take over a practice already made
us being unworthy of his calling.
His position in society is between
officials and scholars. aud through GUS
tom and law lie is compelled to keep
the position to the last degree. This
compulsion 10 keep ones rank has
given rise to the existence of COM
mittecs called embellishments, whose
duty it is to keep Il strict watch that
no lawyer dishoncrs his calling. These
committees have a strict code of pun
ishmcnt, ranging to complete expul-
sion from office in this way the law
yers in Germany have a good and hon,
orct position. In fact. there is scarcely
a country in which the lawyer enjoys
more respect and confidence.

''Do .sou think" asked Miss Darling

turnc.i Miss Anthony cvasively, 'but I
am sosure that Mr.. Pearson is pleased
with your work and wishes to retain
you in his employ that am going to
ask you to return to the Office now
with me. Perhaps in some way we
may learn something of him."
The two girls were standing before
Pearson's door, and Miss Darling was
searching in her hand bag for her du-
picate key when young man mp
preached, saying courteously, Were
you looking for Mr.. Pearson?"
YES" answered Miss Anthony
quietly Can you tell me If he will be
in today?"
~ think net. There are several i'm
portant cases before the grand jury
this term. and it's sitting may last
three or foIr days MORE"
Miss Antllony recognized her inform.
ant as a YOU. . architect who had an
Office in the same building.
II do NO. understand" she said
what has Mr. Pearson got to do with
tho grand jury?"
"Mr Pearson was seized yesterday
by United States Marshal Brown tc

tokened no enlightenment he went on.
when the grand jury was polled yes
terday there We're three absentees, and
In order to carry on the business it
was necessary to fill those vacancies
The absent men are Sick and 1T would
greatly retard the work Of the gov

Miss Anthony regained her poise.
would Mr.. Pearson have to go If he
did not wish?' in stately surprise.
"Yes; any citizen is liable to such
draft"
"But-but his own business?" inter
posed Miss Darling.
"Quite secondary matter in the
eyes of the law" replied the young
man.
"And in such Il case is no message
sent to the citizens friends" ques-
toned Miss Anthony.
Certainly! If Mr.. Pearson had any
clerk or secretary in his office the dep
uty marshal would likely notify that
person, and Mr.. Pearson could send Il
message to his family if lie has one"
Miss Anthony and Miss Darling ex-
changed glances. They knew that
Mr. Pearson had no family and at the
time of his unwelcomc seizure he had
no clerk. and Miss Anthony knew why
no message had been sent to her.
"And Mr. Pearson cannot come away.
He is-he is held there?"
"Held by the government" he re-
piled smilingly.
Miss Anthony thanked him cour-
teously, and he passed on.
Miss Darling unlocked the door, and
the two girls entered the office.
"Is the work Mr.. Pearson wanted
done all stenographic worE?" Miss An
thony asked.
Not all. There are some abstracts
to be copied and'-
81 shall help you," with gentle de-
cision.
When the grand jury adjourned
United States Marshal Brown handed
n note to Juryman Pearson.

Pearson. please come to me as soon
as you are released | think we had

Farewell Reception

Rev. Curtis, who was COM
PEELED by illness to resign his
pastorate of the M. E. church
at this place, took his depart
ure today for Omaha. Follow
ing the advice Of his physicians
he will do a good deal of travel
ing within the next few months.
He first will go to Chicago and
then to Madison, Wis, but ex-
poets to spend the most Of the
summer in Ohio and at the old
home in West Virginia. Last
evening Mr.. Curtis was tender
ed a farewell reception at the
Hotel Mccartney by Mr.. and
Mrs. McCandless. The oppor-
tunity thus afforded to bid Mr..
Curtis goodbye and to wish
him god-speed in his search for
health, was taken advantage of
by our people in large numbers,
and the hotel was thronged un-
til late. There is a feeling of
genuine regret that Mr.. Curtis
is obliged to give up his work
here, as in the few brief
months of his residence he has
not only won the esteem and
love of his congregation, but
the respect and confidence of
our people in general, who all
sincerely hope he will soon
again be restored to health.

The Death Sentence

The Death Sentence
1t has been proven, by evil
dence based upon authentic fig
ures t h a t capital pun
ishment does not play a very
important part in the prevent
ion of crime.
If we are to Judge by the
numbers of murders, in pro-
portion to the population, it is
an open question as to whether
it plays any part at all.
The outward sign of the pro-
gress of civilization is the value
that is placed upon human life;
and while we have abandoned
the torture chamber, the guillo-
tine and other barbarous forms
of punishment, in point of law
we still adhere to the primitive
idea that the most severe pen
atty is that of death.
In this respect we exhibit no
originality. Even our methods
are far from ingenious. We
criticise the people Of other
ages, and then, in a modified
form, we either duplicate their
devices or arrange a device
our own that accomplishes the
same result.
AS far as the victim is con.
cerned, in what respect is there
a choice between the guillotire
and the scaffolds? Is it the
sight of blood that makes the
former method more repulsive?
In one case the head is severed;
in the other the neck is broken;
and under a third and more
modern system the culprit is
literally burned to death by ell
ectricity.
When the breath has left the
body the crime is expiated in
the eyes of the law. One life
for another, and the page is
turned!
If this form of punishment
was productive of good; if it
could be- shown that by lawfully
killing the murderer the taking
of human life could be prevent
ed, there would he a tangible
reason for a continuance of
the practice.
But to go on in sort of way.
following precedent for which
no logical reas IN now exists,
taking life after life without
actually inhicting a lasting
worldly punishment upon the
convicted person-it is, to say
the least, a very crude meth cd
of procedure.
The writer believes, in co M
mon with others, that a person
of sound who commits murder
should be punished; but he does
not believe that cutting off the
murderer's head, breaking his
neck, or burning him alive, is
an adequate and satisfactory
way in which to achieve the
purpose.
On the contrary, it is the
theory of many able men that
the most effective form of pun
ishment is that which brings
the murderer to full realiza-
tion of his crime. If he is to
be- punished at all, he should be
made to undergo mental, in
stead of physical, suffering

There was considerable talk
on our streets today about the
new railroad shops. It was ru-
mored that a message had been
received to stop all work at once
but we have inquired of every
railroad official and have been
unable to find one yet, that has
received any message whatev-
er. Mr.. Jackson, resident en-
giner for the new shops, receiv-
ed a message to come to Boone,
Iowa, but we do not see any
reason for alarm.
Several stories have been cir
culated, but the most feasible
one, is, that Mr.. Jackson was
called to Boone to superintend
the building of the new shops
at that place, and some other err
gineer will be sent here, as both
the contracts are let to the sa-
me concern, so we are told.
Let US all look optomistic
about it and we hope, before
many days that work will be
progressing satisfactory on the
new shops here. Ootomism will
cure anything.
