THE NEW DISTRICT.

Street. of Decatur, has introduced a
bill for new judicial district to be com
posed of the counties of Decatur, Raw
Inns, Cheyenne, Sherman, Thomas and
Sheridan. Chambers, of Sheridan, has
introduced another bill, which would
divide the present district east and west,
making each, five counties long and enc
wide. The first is liable to be adopted,
and ought to be. Possibly a compromise
will be made by leaving Sheridan in the
old district. Two shoe string districts
will be all right for the fellows in the
east end that can't all be judge if left in
the same territory. But that doesn't des
erve any consideration in the settlement
of the question. The social, political and
business interests of the people call for
square districts. Judge Pratt, looking at
the matter as fair man andrs jurist. and
not as scnemer, favors the same.-Mc-
Donald Times.

Among so many characters and where
all have rendered their parts in good taste
and such excellent manner it is difficult
to particularize. In the leading parts
VIZ. G. Weld as King, and Mrs. c. NJ.
Hovey as Queen, Mr. E. P. Hovey as Ha-
man. Mr.. E. VanMetrc as Mordecal, and
Mrs. E. VanMetre as Zeresh, Miss Jean
Jardine, Prophecies and Mrs. A. G Van
Petten as Mordecai's sister, the charact.
ers were well sustained and the solos and
duets were finely given. The young ladies
aud gentlemen supporters in their Choir
uses rendered some fine music The
childrens' chorus was very excellent and
reflects great credit not only on the little
ones taking part but also on their instruc-
tors. The house was crowded and liberal
applause was given at the close of each
scene. The company has provided apprO-
pirate costumes and will repeat the per-
Torrance with change of characters.
and is deserving of the most liberal sup
port at the hands of our citizens We
trust the house may be again crowded to-
night.

A NEW STRUCTURE.

Charlie Charn0ck,s store and Apart.
+ ment Building.
The Charnock building, on the corner
of Fifth and Main streets, is now COM
pleted and is rapidly filling up with ten.
ants. 1t is very decided ornament to
one of the best regions for business OF
residence in the city. From the pretty
little cupola which runs up from the cor
ner of the building one may obtain q
perfect view of all Los Angeles and the
surrounding country.
The building is of brick, and as it is
upon sloping hill it has two stories 10
front and three at the rear. The middle
story, which continues through half oil
the building, is what the architects call q
mezzanine.
In front on Main street there are two
large stories, 17x60 feet, with large show
windows, surmounted by quaint device
with arched lights. The ceilings are
nineteen feet high. Along Fifth street
The entrance to the upper stories is on
Fifth street, large doorway leading to
the stairs. In the two stories above

these are arranged in suitea There is a
long hall which runs the whole length OF
the building, and the rooms are ranged
on each side Of this. They are comfort
ably furnished, and have most of them
been already rented at prices which
make one forget that the "boom" ever
took place.
The architect of the building was
Harry Blackman, who built the great
exposition building at Sidney. He has
introduced number Of unique features
in the way of ventilation and lights
which render the building perfectly
adaped to the climate both in summer
and winter. The house is furnished
with all the latest forms of plumbing, and
the rooms are thoroughly desirable
either for Office or living purposes.
The building is one which is credit
to the city, and when it is filed with
tenants, as will soon be the case, it will
help to improve the business activity OF
that section.

That the City Attorney be instructed

seesment of 90 cents per front foot from

The property owners on New High
street, between Bellevue avenue and

the street paved with porphyry. The
street has been in the winter time
almost impossible, and as it is lined with
houses on both sides it is important thai
something should be done before the
rains commence in earnest. Usually
permission is given to grade and pave 9
street without much delay, but for some
reason the Board of Public Works in this
instance seems unwilling TO act promptly.
