question has been threshed over and
over again in the council, with the
street committee and the contractors.
1t is nothing new to the present street
committee, the question having come
up for settlement years ago. If you
will examine the records of the city of
Salem you will find that, beginning
some years ago, no concrete pavement
contract has ever called for a mainte-
nance bond. All other contractors in
Salem, however, were literally COM
PEELED to give this bond. Why this dis
criminationl How is it possible for
any one informed upon the subject at
all to allow such safeguard to the
people to slip away from them2
True, councilmen are not paid for
their services in money, but all of them
that are not sleeping have an electric
light on their corner or have few
loads of gravel hauled for their streets.
Besides these little immaterial favors,
what of the honor falling upon their
shoulders from serving the interests of
the peoplei Now, that some criticism
has been given the action of the coun-
ell, the reply is made by the morning
"caucus" that the men should not be
criticized because they are working for
nothing. So far as that goes, the point
is well taken, but one fears that the
excuse is poisoned with bad medicine.
To argue accordingly it would test pub.
lie service and duty towards your coun-
try by matter of compensation. One
can hardly believe the council appre-
ciates this estimate Of their work of.
fered by the morning "moralist."
While it is almost an impossible
thing for the average man of intelli.
gence to discriminate between an at
tack upon policy or public action and
an attack upon individuals, yet it seems
strange that the. impersonal attitude of

city attorney discovered how it came
about that he got this unrequested
raise, he failed to voluntarily correct
the matter, but contrariwise, immedi
ately secured action by the council ap
proving the increase. Yet the Journal
is made a scapegoat in the face of this

essary abstract and list of witne sscs to the end that the county might be spared the added cost and trouble of passing cases on to subsequent ses- sions of the inquisitorial body.
 In a recent case, wherein charge of murder was made, growing out of a killing at a baseball game, 129 wit nesses were summoned. practically the entire attendance and members of both teams, where il was only necessary to examine seven witnesses to gain the evidence necessary to in dict. The remaining 122 witnesses were never summoned before the grand jury. but the county had to pay the witness fees just as though they had appeared before that body.
 Judge Grace heard the report of the grand jury and took occasion to thank the members upon the excellent work accomplished and for their prompt ness in concluding the session. He called attention to the fact that sev- eral grand juries had continued in session six or seven weeks without accomplishing as much work as the present jury had accomplished in the eleven days it had been in session.

NEGRO RESISTS ARREST;
 SHOT BY PATROLMAN

Charley Smith, a negro, who claims that he is an employe of the Cotton Belt, and who came here yesterday from Thornton, where he has been at work with an extra gang, was shot and slightly wounded at 2:40 this morning at Second avenue and State street,
 Patrolman w. F. Phillips found the negro asleep in an alley and after awakening him, started for police headquarters with him. The negro asked where he was being taken and the officer replied to the city jail. The negro then called the officer a vile name, grabbed hIs club from his hand and struck at him. Phillips lodged the first blow when the ne- gro aimed a second at him, mean time cursing him in a vile manner. The officer pulled his revolver and warned the negro to desist, and when he made the attempt again, the officer fired, striking the negro in the right hand, the ball passing through the "ball" of his thumb The negro was then anxious to finish the trip to the station house, where he is resting quietly today.

 returned 94 true bills and dismissed
 p cases.
 "All of our other duties," reads the
 report such as visiting the poor
 house, county farm and jail have
 been compiled with as previously re-
 ported"
 Captain J. D. Miller was formen of the jury and E. A. Howell and J. M. Hightower, clerks.

He
 also called attention to the custom of several magistrates who issued sum- monses for immaterial witnesses,
 causing a large and unnecessary ex-
 pense to the county.
 He asked that the prosecuting at torney require Magistrate R. J. Wat kins, of Wabbaseka, to make out and file the abstract and list of witnesses | in the case of the State vs. Hilliard Jeter, now in jail on charge of mur- | der. This case was referred to the
 next grand jury by the grand jury just

 There is note of picturnsoueness in some of the latest. costumes that is notably interesting and that prom ises we'll for the coming season. The great ateliers have not opened their doors, it is true, but there are always advance straws and those that are floating about just now are encourag- ing. Evidently designers are looking to the Pompadour period. While actual paniers are not seen, materials are draped over the hips and about the figure to give something of the same effect and the fichu meets one at every turn. A fascinating gown which bears the name of an import ant French dressmaker combines Q quaintly lowered silk With a plain one. There is a round skirt that is shirred about the feet to form a lit tie flat puff and to hold it in closely and shirred across the front at knee depth. This skirt is made of the plain silk. The over skirt, of tunic, is parted at the front and finished all around with a flat puffing and is looped up at each hip in a really coquettish and charming manner The bodice is made with low. square neck and long, close fitting sleeves and the main portion is en- tirely covered by a fichu of soft net edged with frills. There is a wide flowers in color.

Hairdressing Accessories.

Many attractive little accessories are to be found in the shops, which add effective touches to the up-to. date coiffures There are heavy plain hairpins, of real or imitation shell, to hold the knot in place when the hair is worn low, besides the more elaborate hairpins, mount ed with imitation jewels, for evening wear.
 The beautifully marked combs and barrettes of real shells are splendid for keeping the hair smooth and firm in the back when it IS worn high. Ornaments studded and inset with rhinestones are most ar tistic. French jewellery designers have produced an exquisite. combina- ton by using the rhinestones in 8 silvery metal that has the rhinestone finish. and this combination is to be found in bandeaux, barrettes mounted combs and hairpins.

 Everything now is garnished with ribbons. The new millinery for fall shows yards and yards of ribbon knotted into loops, tied in smart bows and twisted into rosettes. Ribbons sashes are more popular than they have been in years, and so wide and so rich must be the ribbon of which a sash is made-particularly if the sash accompanies a street costume Of handsome material-that the shops must reap rich harvest in this item of sash ribbons alone. Ribbons are used also to lace up slippers, for the old-fashioned laced sandal has re- turned to town and straps of ribbon entwine my lady's ankle and go criss cross upwards, some times as far as the knee Ribbons are used in- stead of chains to hold watch or lorg- nette-in fact the uses of ribbons are innumerable sat@the present moment
