made to enter Lamfrom's store some

with a diamond. The would be robbers

demonstrations made by the dog, and out
of revenge for the animals watch

good on the watch and only last sum

dogs is senseless and mean performance
Some dogs are worth keeping, others are
not, and there certainly should be some
discrimination made in getting rid of an
overplus of the animals if that is what
is sought.

Board Of Supervisors
tlOn.

The Jefferson County Board of Su-
pervisors closed their session of eleven
days at the city of Jefferson on Saturday.
The Board went through with the regu-
lar routine of business and also took the
initiatory steps towards the erection of a
new Court House, which nearly all have
come to consider much needed require
ment for some years past. The Board
voted in favor of erecting county build
ing to contain court rooms and county
Offices at cost not to exceed $50, 900, in
Guiding furnishing. Plans have been
called for and a committee composed of
A. Ell. Rogers, J. Whittet, W. Bieber, A.
d. Faville and 81. Haskall, has been APP
pointed to report on plan ana specifca-
tons at an adjourned meeting of the
Board to be held Tuesday, December g.
The Board had placed before them two
very fine plans furnished by Koch & Co.,
Milwaukee, and A. Kirkland, city archi-
tect of Chicago. 1t was decided to raise
the tax for the Court House in four an
nual installments Of $9, 900 each, and have
the building completed as soon as possible.
The Board reappointed the old poormas-
tiers George Trucks, of Jefferson, and
Thomas Baxter, Of WATERFOWL. A petit
ton was presented to the Board asking
that the $1,000 bail forfeited to the county
by the non-appearance for trial of
the bunko or three card monte men who
played their cards on some of our citizens
last summer during the visit of Coles
circus. be appropriated to the victims as
a reimbursement for their loss sustained
through the means of the confidence
game SO successfully played upon them, but
the prayer in the petition was denied and
the money remains in the county treas
ury where it will do the most good.
The tax to be raised in the county next
year will be $4,000 more than this
year, but this includes the $4,000 appro-
priated for the New Court House, making
the actual tax in reality $4,000 less, the
State tax being much lower than usual

The american Reprint t1r1he En-

We wish to call the attention of the readers
and thinkers of our city to this grand work. No
work of it's kind stands higher in the estimation
of scholars than the Encyclopedia Britannica:
Its great cost was the only hindrance to its gene
raj use. American readers generally could not
afford to pay ten dollars per volume for twenty
one volumes. And until the work was repninte{E
in the United States we were Obliged to content
ourselves with its possession in few of QUIZ Rad-
ing libraries
The work is now furnished in the american Re-
print at about one half its original cost and per-
feet in all its parts, every word cut illustration,
map and plate being honestly and faithfully re-
produced.
Letters like the following show what the Lead
ing men of the age think of this great work
