!? ' CIT Y NEWS. $1,000 TO SETTLE The Amount It Will Cost Christo pher Norbeck's Bondsmen to Compromise. The Court Makes It Plain That Com promises Are Not to Be the Rule. J It will cost the Christopher C. Norbeck bondsmen just $1,000 to compromise the case against them by the state. If this amount is not paid on or before April 1. the bondsmen will be ma de to pay the full amount-$f.oon Such i: the effect of an order filed by Judge 1 larirson to-day. Th e case came up for hearing yesterday upon an applica tion of the defendants. Brando Sodini and Hichard J. Hill, for permission to settle their liability by paying the expenses in curred because of Norbeck's flight. Both Fides were heard at some lengtrt and it. was shown that the defendants hail al - ready paid out $1,500 and were willing to pay about $500 more, representing the state's expense. After Judge Harrison bad carefully con sidered the question and consulted with other members of the bench he made the order above noted and set forth the rea sons therefor in the following memoran dum: "This action is upon a penal bond, and in the interest 'of public policy it is deemed tliat parties signing bail bonds for the appearance of defendants, should un - derstand that the defendant is, in the contemplation of the law. in the custody of the sureties on the bond so long as be j Js on bail and until he \% discharged by the court. In this particular case the order remitting a portion of the penally on the bond is ia consideration of the fact that immediately upon the escape and flight of their principal. Norbeck. the bondsmen offered and paid a reward of $1,000 for his recapture and that they used, so far as the evidence discloses, even - effort to perform the condition of the bond and in view of these acts on the part, of the defendants it is deemed just that a portion of the bond should be re - mitted. But. we do not wish it under stood that this order shall be a precedent Because He Has" Been Over the Road.

"I'm not sure," said Mr. Holt, "th at the bishop's statement could be fully proved. I believe he has placed too much confi dence in the available statistics. These are not satisfactory.

Pur e Malt Whiskey. that the law'has. ncit remained the same, that many persons are now arrested for offenses not recognized by laws years ago. That's particularly true of children. Take the truancy laws. If my friends and I played hookey when I was a boy, we had to reckon with 'teacher' and with our own parents. Th e policeman, the constable, was out of the question. If we ran away with some crab apples from a neighbor's yard, we'd be safe enough if we weren't nabbed by the neighbor or his dog. But now there's a multitude of laws relative to trespassing, and these laws are fre quently enforced against children. Th e railroads, for instance, have had . laws passed to keep children from pilfering in railroad yards. Many 'kids* are arrested on that account. Th e laws themselves are necessary to protect the companies from heavy loss, but the children are no more criminal in spirit than was the bqy that used to sneak away with watermelons that didn't grow in his own yard Law's Ar m Is Longer. "T he fact is. industries have grown, communities have grown, and offenses that used to be dealt with by a domestic switch are now investigated by a digni fied judge and are solemnly recorded in the annals of crime. Juvenile courts in Chicago, the children's courts in New York, are crowded with cases. Bu t most of the little folks arrested are merely be ing warned or supervised ajs the result of some truancy or some other naughti ness of those bad boys that grow up to be our model citizens. It' s a step in the socialistic program,, a substitution of the law for the parent. "But the changes have usually been justified by the growth of American towns and cities, and that's probably another tiling that the statistical experts have not Grip, Colds, Consumption Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey Cures Grip, Colds, Catarrh, CoMsumption, Malaria, Bronchitis, Asthma and All Diseases of the Throat and Lungs Grip is an Infectious disease which attacks weak and strong alike, especially if 'the blood is sluggish, and generally involving the mucous membrance of the air passages from the nostrils down to and Including the lungs.

Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey not only kills the germs, but it stimulates the blood, aids digestion and tones the action of the heart.

"People forget that children are im proving in several respects. I think that they have learned new lessons in the Sun day schools and public schools. Our young folks nowadays are broader-minded than they used to be, more charitable, less self ish. A boy that's well reared now is not so likely to consider himself the only frog in the puddle and to despise all boys with fewer advantages. Children are less cruel to animals now. Boys and girls don't view the cat's tail as a natur al handle, and boys ha ve learned that it isn't very manly to kill harmless little birds." THE CAUSE OF HIS GRIEF. Youth's Companion.

Seymour, the popular lec turer on historical topics who delivered courses of lectures in the city several years, has returned and will begin this week an extended engagement with the Improvement League. While the pictur esque and entertaining side of his sub jects is not neglected Mr. Seymour gives particular attention to the educational side of his lectures, and they are espe cially suited for students. A course is being delivered in each of the high schools for the pupils and there will be one course of evening lectures given in All Souls' church. The Improveme nt League is one of the important forces in cultivating civic pride in the school children and it is hoped that it will be so effectual that the next generation will refuse to tolerate sucfh conditions as now exist in the streets of the city. One of the most interesting features of the league's work is the school children's gardens and it is to raise funds for this work that the lectures are being given. This work is very popular in the city and will doubtless receive the strong support of all, particularly the school chil dren and their parents. The first lecture was given yesterday afternoon at the North high school and the hours there are 1:30. Th e lecture next week will lbe on Queen Elizabeth and on March 23, "Japan and the Japan- ese." This afternoon the Central high school course began with "Pericles" and will continue on successive Wednesdays, the subjects being for March 18 "Haroun Al Raschid." March 25 "Marie Antoinette." The South high .school course will be given at 1:30 p. m . beginning to-morrow, with "Catherine. TJ. of Russia" March 19. "Passing of the Spaniard" March 26, "Japan and the Japanese." The East high school is to have two courses of lectures, one beginning to morrow at 4 o'clock on "Joan of Arc" March 19. "Francesco Pizarro" March 26. "London Tower." Th e other course will also be given at 4 o'clock beginning Tues day. March 17. with "Charlemagne" March 24, "Haro un Al Raschid" March 31.

The "total amount of the fund is only $653,763 instead of $1,241,000. Th e total amount of the leakage was $587,237. Mr. Nimocks finds that the fund was created in 1887 and that bonds aggre gating 1,000,000 were sold the following year. Additional bonds amounti ng to $150,000 were sold in 1892. Penalties and interest on delinquent assessments amounti ng to $76,000 have since been ad ded to the fund. Th e fund was over drawn $15,000 Dec . 31, 1902. Mr. Nimocks estimates that at least $130,000 of the $150,000 received from ex - cess assessments has been lost track of through errors made against the revolv ing fund in adjusting the accounts be tween that fund and the permane nt im provement fund each year. I t is also con tended that a great percentage of the loss w as due to assessmen ts becoming delin quent and finally being compromised for less than the full amount. Some of th o loss is also thought to be due to the* levy ing of assessments which were afterward annulled against exempt property.

Fir6tThat the city council investigate ths Item abore reported, showing fewer assessments to the amount of $65,560.23, whicb were an nulled after the construction of the improre meats, with the suggestion that the council order a reassessment of any of this amount which can. be legally assessed. SecondThat we recommend to the oonncll the advisability of passing an ordinance requir ing the city engineer and city controller to keep account with each stretch of pavement or curb and each sewer extension. In other words, to keep a construction account for each improve ment. ThirdTo call attention to a condition to which the attention of the council has been fre quently called, namely, that the system of ac counting between the city and county Is very lax, and, while it may not have resulted in actual loss of money. It Is undoubtedly respon sible for many errors in the distribution of taxes collected to the proper funds. A New 1'orlt judge has decided that a sand-, wich doesn't constitute a meal.
