THE BONDS.

The argument used by those not in
favor of bonds is that it will increase
u taxes, which is not SO. Next week
we will prove, by facts and figures that
cannot be denied, that the taxes will be
at least three per cent less on the AK
able property of the county, by voting
the bonds than it will be if we do not.
We will present two tabulated state
ments of the various items Of expense
the county will be subject to, with and
without bonds and our readers can then
Judge for themselves and will have to
take no bombastic assertion that the
county will be loaded down with taxes.
It is claimed by some that the CHRoN-
ICLE should not have taken sides on this
question, that we are working an injury
to ourselves and would become unpopu-
lar. 1t may be that we are no aware OF
what are the duties Of a newspaper. One
thing is certain, if we did not think we
we're advocating the interests Of the tax
payers Of Custer county by taking the
side that We have, we should never
have taken it. We have never claimed
to be neutral on any subject that inter
ests the people, and never will be.
When we become satisfied in Our own
mind that such and such a course is
right the CHRONICLE will advocate it,
and is willing to stand OF fall on the
iss,1e.

The White House,

It's corner stone was laid on the 18th
of October 1892, under the superinten-
dence of Captain James Hobon, an Irish
architect, direct from Dublin, who ac
cepted the award of $500 (then thought
to be large amount) for the design.
He is buried in the Catholic cemetery
at Washington, and his descendants still
live in that city.
The British destroyed the building in
the year 1914, but it was rebuilt by Cap
tain Hobon, and was first opened for Wis
itors on January /, 1918.
The portico of four lofty columns, on
the north side, was added in 1929, dur
ing the administration of President
Jackson.
1t is lofty building, two stories in
height, with frontage of one hundred and
eighty feet and depth of eighty five
feet. The vestibule within the front
door is fifty feet long by forty wide. The
famous East room, which was finished
fifty years ago, is eighty feet long, forty
feet wide and twenty two feet high.
Eight large mirrors and three chande
liers, of crystal and silver, adorn the

we beg to ask for it the attention OF our read.

that could not leave my led. In tho summer
of 1877 1 was admitted to the City Hospital.
While there the doctors said l had 4 hole in

cial-At the morning dressing at $50 to
day, the presidents temperature was 98.4
pulse, 100 respiration, 20: He passed
the night comfartably, sleeping until 3 a
m., when he was wakcful for period Of
two hours, during which time the pulse
rose to 12O, but without the marked
elevation of temperature, which has
characterized the febrile disturb
ancc heretofore. After this time
he slept until morning. More lourishment
was given during tho night than for sew
eral nights past. In reviewing the case of
the president since his arrival at Long
Branch, it may be said that in spite of the
various septic accidents which have for
several weeks and do still complicate his
case, he has certainly not retrograded, but
on the contrary has made some progress
towards cOnvalescence.
Denial by the Doctors.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 15.-Drs. Agnew
and Bliss say there is no truth in the re-
port that an instrument will he inserted
in the presidents body to relieve the lung
of pus. DIR. Hamilton expressed the
opinion that the septic condition of the
blood will necessarily cause fluctuations
of pulse and respiration for the next five
weeks, when the trouble will be overcome
and dconvalescence he assured. He believes
tho president will ultimately recover and
be as we'll a man rs before the shooting.
