The periodically recurring cry,
1--WE must have a new court house, "
may in time set people to thinking
seriously about the matter, but just
now the wherewithal with which
to supply the great deficiency" is
very notieeably absent. 1t is a
thought, however. which strikes the
visitor to the court house very fOrci-
bly,. He finds the officials conf
planning about the smallness Of the
rooms, the insuffieieney Of the
vaults, etc etc. The comparatively
new vault Of the registers office is
already filled with books, and the
successors to the books already there
will have to "lay around loose"
The county clerks vault is a dark
and forbidden chamber, in which
the records have so accumulated
that, though they are too valuable
for destruction, they are yet but o
heap Of rubbish-with no suitable
place to store them away. The other
officials have reason to complain
also Of contracted quarters. The
court room itself lisa "den," which
the simplest scandal case ills to
such an overlooking that a person
from the fresh air is Overpowered
with a vOluminOus smell Of unclean
leather, and is struck at once with
the necessity Of a large, airy, we'll
ventilated temple Of justice to 1T
the times, the people, the customs.
Yes, the county has OutgrOwn its
court house swaddling clothes, and
in its present manly stature needs a
new building-nOt one stuck away
in one corner Of the town, but some
where i'm the midst of Salinas thTiv-
ing, bustling avenues Of trade.

BrookviIle Transcript:

A great roar Is being made by
those interested, over the fact OF
Lincoln county employing Mr.. Gar
yer, Of SHlina, to help the prOsecu-
ton in the case of the State VS..
Cleary for the murder of Turner.
Mr.. Carver is getting a fine reputa-
ton as a criminal lawyer, and he de-
serves il, as he has worked long and
hard for il.
Thomas Mullen, Of Terra Gotta,
was in town yesterday for the first
time in several months. He has
been working on the extension Of
the Santa Fe into COneOrdia. Mr..
Mullen Is very enthusiastic over the
prospects which Terra Gotta has for
a pottery establishment at that
place. Mr.. Mullen has spent con-
siderable time and money in work
ing the matter up and thinks that
success is now very near. We hope
that Il may be so.
A. n. Wilmington received letter
last Tuesday from parties In Ames,
Iowa, inquiring about the man Har-
Iigan who was burned to death in
the Lawrence House fire. The letter
states that the father Of the young
man died Of heart disease only a
few hours before the telegram was
received, which t0ld them OF the
death Of the son. This accounts for
the fact that no word was received
by Mayor Ebert In reply to his mes
sage. Mr.. Wilmington has written
the relatives fully about Il and also
referred them to superintendent
Carlton for further information.

will Of course tOOt their own horns.
Let's hear from some Of our college

the matter Is Of great Importance to
all of our citizens. VIII some one
tell US II our city fathers pay full

DIED OF HIS WOUNDS.
The Fatal Stabbing Of James Payne by
Dorsey Suber.

II was reported to the police of Lieut.. Guys
precinct yesterday that young colored man
named James Payne had been badly cut by
Dorsey Suber, at IT'S E street northwest
Payne's mother lived there with her son and
daughter, and Suber, who halls from Georgia,
boarded with them. Wednesday night late
Payne's sister, Mary Thornton, who had re-
fused to cook his (Suber's) supper. Mrs. Vir-
ginia Payne attempted to protect her daugh-
ter when, it is alleged, Suber drew knife,
threatening to carve her up. Suber then left
the room, and going into a back room seized q
lighted lamp to throw at Mary Thornton, but
Mrs. Payne grabbed it. Young Payne hearing
the noise appeared on the scene, and it is said
struck Suber. The men then clinched, but the
women got between them and the men fell
across the bed, when Suber broke away and
made his escape. Payne then found that he
was cut. Mrs. Payne was also cut in the hand.
DR.. G. g. Morris was called in and found that
there were several stabs about young Payne's
left shoulder and arm, but he did not consider
the wounds of fatal character. Payne, how
ever, died last night about $50 o'clock. The
police OF the precinct were informed OF the
occurrence yesterday morning, but the infor-
nation did not reach police headquarters till
last evening, and then Suber had made his
csCdpe SuDer mas uVeQ mere IOr the past SIX
or seven years, and was recently employed at
Moores restaurant on Pennsylvania avenue,
near 9Th street northwest. Mary Thornton,
who has known him for four or five years, says
he was always quiet about the house; she had
never seen him drunk, and on the night of the
tragedy he was apparently perfectly sober.
He is very light in color, with a freckled face;
is about feet or inches high, and will
weigh probably 165 or ITO pounds. He has the
scar of cut across his face, and the scar of q
bullet on his forehead
DR.. Morris states that Payne died from loss
of blood and the shock to his nervous system.
When the doctor was first called in the hem
orrhage had continued for some time, three
large arteries and one large vein having been
severed. The physician at once administered
stimulants to the patient, who was weak from
the loss of blood
THE INQUEST.
DIR. Hartigan made an autopsy on the body
of Payne this morning, and Coroner Patterson
will hold and inquest at IL o'clock tomorrow
morning.

From the Chcago Tribune
''lnasmuch as the animal you stole was only
colt, remarked the leader Of the regulators,
I'VE have decided to give you forty-nine lashes
with horsewhip instead of hanging you. But
we shall lay them on well''

said the prisoner, pale, but unfiinching.
What is it?''
Gentlemen, he replied bitterly, Il have not
always been criminal and an outcast have
moved in good society and know the customs
that prevail among our best people. I win
take as favor, gentlemen. if you will Law the
lashes on, as far as possible, i'm regular checks
or diagonals. Perpendicular stripes are NOT
