ed the following rnnnrt.

Hr. Chairman ana GtptleD.ea az N. board Of
SGpyrisOrs: Your court house and jail committee
beg leave TO report that they have had the bids for
the erection OF the court house, heretofore reported
10 this board, under Iteration and IN regard
the two lowest bids, those II Messrs Weiss Wolf,
OF Ottawa, for S@i5ii, and McNeal Son, Chicago,
for SOS i25 We would report that both Of the parties
have nceubcofc u with the request that they have
leave withdraw their bids and the checks accom-.
panyiug them, for the reason that they have made
mistake in figuring, on account of which their bids
are olow that they can not perform the contract
without serious loss To them and consequently they
are unable to give the necessary bonds for tn" faith
iu performance OF the work
Your committee having Investigated The matter
have come TO the conclusion that the statements
made by the parties named are true, and we there
fore recommend that the board authorize the com
mttee 10 return The checks To the parties ~ We pc
eye it would by unjust under the circumstances to
retain the money.
In all of which am Instructed 10 ask the concur
renee OF thi, board GEO. ". ARMSTRONG,

the board getting the power to build on
any other site than the old one il any
reasonable time, they would not pursue
their objections further, Notwithstanding
the serious objections urged against the
present location. And Notwithstanding
we are deeply impressed with the weight
OF these objections, yet 1t must appear To
all that the board have had Il long and
somewhat expensive struggle in bringing
the matter up to point where to all APP
pearanceS 1t has now about arrived,
where the yeXed question OF courthouse
may be set at rest. do not think it wise
to favor any project that would lndetn-
itely postpone the erection OF Il court
house, and it is my opinion that If the
majority report that has been presented
by the committee should be adopted 1t
will be almost certain TO bring about an
indefinite pOstponement of the erection
Of the building that is 50 much needed.
| believe the best interests of the county
demand a vigorous prosecution OF the
work of building u courthouse on the
present site, however Objectionable that
location may be, and | believe that the
request Of the petitioners cannot be con
Sistently granted.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

THE ROSES FALL

Our Rose was very pure and fair;
Too soft the sunshine could not be-
Too gently could not stir the air
That kissed her petals lovingly.
She grew so tail, so full, so white,
And shrinking from the touch of i'll,
She closed her snowy leaves at night.
While sunlight tinged the cloud-land still.
Too rough We thought each breeze that
blew
Ungentle seemed the summer rain;
We blamed the very dust that flew,
Which could not touch her with stain.
Dear Rose so fresh-so fair-so sweet,
Such stormy days must come to all,
And on the grasses at our feet
In snowy showers the roses fan.
We know the sun viii shine again.
That flowers will bloom when soft wind
blows,
Yet none the less We mourn in pain
Our summer joy-our fair white Rose.
Some day, the Love that waiting stands
To crown our life with glad repose,
VIII press into our empty hands
The flower it keeps for us-our Rose.

Oatmeal as Food.


The appetite often Graves food whic h
the stomach rejects but long period
of forcing enables it to receive it under
protest. Nor is it the quantity of food
that is nourishing, but the quality. A
pound of choice meat at twenty cents Is
worth as much for nutriment as two
pounds of inferior meat at ten cents.
An egg is one of the best and most nu-
tritious articles of diet that can be put
on table, and the less it is cooked the
more valuable its digestive and assiml-
lating properties. Since oatmeal has
become delicacy, retailing all the way
from four to twenty-five cents pound,
according to localities, people of wealth
add it to their cuisine as valuable
breakfast dish Carlyle said of Lord
Macauley "Well, any one can see that
you are an honest, good sort of a fellow
made out of oatmeal" There is story
told of a shrewd Scotch woman who
used to tell her fine healthy bains,
+" the one that eats the maist parritch
will get the maist meat" And when
the meat came there was no room for
it.
The apologist for u national dish
says: " Ii oatmeal can make such men
as Sir Walter Scott, DIR. Chalmers and
Lord Macauley, we may. well heap high
the porridge dish and bribe our children
to eat it. One thing We do know. 1t is
far better for the blood and brain thar
cake, confectionery. and the score o.
delicacies on which many pale little
pets are fed by their foolish, fond
mothers"

could do it tbet way-if he had thought
of it.

THE NIAGARA DoG.-The dog that is
lodged on shelving rock at Niagara,
from which escape, unaided, is impossi-
BILE, is a grand subject for inspiration to
inventors all over the country. and
many plans for his rescue have been Of
fered. One is to slipnoose him a sec
ond, to catch him with fishhook and
third, to let down basket containing
some meat, into which the dog will get
and be drawn up safely-if he has good
sense while, if he jumps out and Is lost
it will be evident that he was not worth
saving. The plan having the merit of
boldest originality is to lower down
another bull-pup, well secured by a
rope the two will clinch, and, as bull
dogs never let so, both viii be drawn up
safely, to the sound of vivacious music.

Married For Love.

The humanizing influence of that
darling red-cheeked little fellow who
calls him father brings a glow and rap
ture of the purest pleasure earth holds /;
for the man who has never felt the tiny
hand clasp his will always lack some
thing-he will be less human, less bless
ed than others.
This is the noble, the honest, the only
form of life that imparts real content
ment and JOY, that will make death
bed glorious and love see peace through
It's tears. II is so purely unselfish, 50

instincts it stimulates men to the best
deeds they are capable of. - Oliver.
