COURT HOUSE CHANGES
Many of the Old Familiar Faces BE
Seen There No More.

Half dozen county officers, most
of them very much against their will,
and more than that number of depu-
ties and clerks, will retire from public
life to the ranks of ordinary individ-
uals early in the coming year In fact,
after the second Monday in January,
a casual visitor at the courth ouSe who,
for number of years. has been used
to seeing familiar faces waiting to do
his pleasure, will find many new faces
awaiting him.
Not one of the half dozen officers
but has been in office several years.
Some of them are finishing their sixth
year. All the rest are completing
their fourth year in the service of the
county.
On the first floor. provided the in
cumbents who have been renominared
win the election in November, there
will be but three men left-Treasurer
Weightman, Register of Deeds Tasker
and Assessor Haynes. OF course,
County Commissioner Simms whose
term of office does not expire for two
more years, will be on hand, and Shin
er also has been renominated. But
the sheriff's office and probate court,
the clerks office and the seat former
ly occupied by County Commissioner
Edwin L. O'Neil, will be filed with
new faces.
On the second floor, Bower, who
was appointed to fill a vacancy, ex-
poets to fill the place occupied for
dozen years by R. L. Thomas, former
ly clerk of the district court. And on
the third floor R. NJ. Lee, clerk of the
county court, who was not a candidate
for denomination, will step down and
out.
There are five deputies in the sher-
ifs office, three in the probate court
and three in the county clerks office.
Has anyone a place for these people?
They all expect to look for something
else to do between now and January
13, when the terms of Office of their
employers expire. Lee, in the county
court, has no deputies, and Bower, in
the district clerks office, has reorgan-
lied his staff and expects to keep his
clerks in case he is re-elected.

is IT WEATHER?
Does Heat and Cold Have Any
thing to Do With Divorced
Rain and Sunshine? Suits Fall
Off Last Few Days.

Perhaps it has been the modifica-
ton in the weather. some say so, but
whatever the cause there has been a
big slump in the divorce business at
the courthouse in the last week or
ten days. For the two weeks prior to
the present week the biggest divorce
business on record was done. The
suits filed, nearly all by women, av-
eraged more than two a day. Dur
ing the last week there has scarcely
been one such suit a day, the filings
returning to normal.
During the course of an average
year there are close to 800 divorce pc
titions filed. There are not so many
divorce DEGREES granted for some of
the suits are dismissed for want of
prosecution, and some of them are dis
missed at the request of the plaintiffs,
while once in while-although it is
seldom-a decree is denied after both
sides of a pitiful story are told in
court. sssl-
Hot weather seems always to be
one of the prominent causes for fam
lily trouble" one man who has had
considerable experience in divorce
cases declared. whenever the wealth
er gets uncomfortably hot you may
look for a big business in divorce suits.
1t has been so universal a rule that
am sure it has a great deal to do with
marital unhappiness.
Ever try to treat your fellowman
decently with the thern ometer how
ering around the 100 mark" he ask
ed, musingly. ''Well. it's a hard thing.
1t is still harder to treat ones wife de-
Gently. And so 1 suppose many hus-
bands fail, and their wives forthwith
rush into the divorce courts"

UNDER FALSE NAMES,
Becker Is said to Have Kept Numer-
Gus Bank Accounts.

New York, Aug. 1O.-CIoaking his
identity under assumed names, Police
Lieutenant Becker, now behind the
bars for the murder of Gambler Her
man Rosenthal, is said by members of
the states attorney staff to have de-
posted thousands of dollars in several
savings banks.
These deposits were the proceeds,
the public prosecutor believes of gam
bling, blackmail, and the search for
these savings accounts is being contin-
ued not only here but in Rochester
where it is reported Becker has an ac-
count under a name not his own. De-
tectives of the district attorneys of
fee say that two accounts, one in a
savings bank in Newark and another
in Elizabeth, N. j., belong to Becker.
The total of all accounts said to be-
long to Becker amounts to about $21,-
600. Becker's salary as a policeman
is S2,25O year. Several savings
banks officers are under subpoena to
appear before the grand jury to tell
of these accounts. The district alter
ney also has investigated the bank ac-
counts of two police inspectors. These

PUTS BAN ON CESSPOOlS

The principal business transacted
at the regular session of the council
Tuesday night was the passage of
the lengthy plumbing ordinance
made necessary by the building of
the sewers.
The ordinance, which will be
published next week, is modelled
after similar acts in larger cities.
with many OF its conditions modified
to suit a city of this size and to avoid
working a hardship upon anyone.
The act provides for the appoint
ment of a plumbing inspector and
defines his duties and fees. 1t also
defines certain rigid standards to
be observed in interior plumbing
and in making connections with the
sewer.
A rigid inspection of all existing
cesspools will be made and those
not in first class condition will be
ordered filled and connection made
with the sewer. No one whose cess
pool is found to be strictly sanitary
will be compelled to abandon it,
although no additional cesspools
will be allowed to be built within
any district served by a sewer.
All closet vaults within the sewer
district are declared a nuisance,
dangerous to public health. and are
ordered to be filled as soon as sewer
connection can be made.
