THE NEW TURN HALL
Bids are Being Asked for its
Construction.
Description of the Building From
the Architects Plans.
It Will be Ready for Occupancy
Early in October.

The plans aud specifications for the new
Turn hall, drawn by G. s. Stout, were
accepted at a meeting held Friday night
by the building committee of the Turn.
verein society.
The building will be built on the lot
recently purchased on the corner of Six
teenth and Themes, which has an eighty
seven foot front on Sixteenth street and
ninety-two feet on Themes. The build
ing is tn be built of red brick with white
stone iacings and completed will cost
In the neighborhood of $4,000. The
Sixteenth street front will be a one story
building and the rear half on Themes is
to be the height OF two stories. The Six
teenth street end of the building will be
fixed up for a beer hall and restaurant
and will probably be leased to some good
party to be run in connection with the
rest of the building. The bar.room will
be on the corner of Sixteenth and Themes
and will be rather large, about 36x2S feet.
Immediately behind, opening out onto
Sixteenth street will be the restaurant,
which will be fixed up with a restaurant
range and the necessary apparatus. There
will be plenty of room as it will be 26x5O
feet.
The rear part OF the building on Themes
street will be thitty-six feet high and
fitted up as an amusement hall, with stage
and gallery for entertainments and will be
capable of accommodating !, 700 people.
The stage is to be a large one, 26x32 feet,
and will be sloped back from the front.
The hall is to be used also for dancing
and on that account the floor has to be
level. The stage, however, will be but
eighteen inches above the floor and as it
slopes back will give the same effect as
though the seats we're arranged in tiers.
A raised platform is placed around the
sides of the hall and above is a gallery,
capable of seating 700 people which is
swung from the ~rafters of the roof by
rods, thus doing away with supporting
pillars from the floor below. The build,
ing is to be fitted for both electric lights
aud gas.
The musicians will be placed in a pit in
front of the stage, and gain their places
BY mean of a stage entrance on Six
tenth street. The stage as to scenery
and modern appliances will be most com
plete, and the hall will be well adapted
for concerts, theatrical entertainments or
balls. The floor OF the amusement hall is
made double of hard maple, nicely fitted
to make a good dancing floor.
The building committee who have charge
of the matter are W. r. Schnitger chair.
man, L Kabis secretary, Joe Dillman
treasurer, with Fred Hoffman and A.
Adamsky as the other members.
The bids on the new building will be
received until the 18th OF June and the
building committee hope to have the hall
opened by the LIST of October.

necessary. To this, however, must be at
tAched this quRI6cation-that if the con
veyaDce made by the husband were OF his
homestead, the wife's signature is neces-
sary to the validity OF the deed. On Dec.
6, 1869, the following became a law:
Nothing in this act shall be construed
to prevent the owner and occupier Of any
homestead from voluntarily m~ortgaging
the same; provided, no such mortgage
shall be binding against the wife of any
married man who may be occupying the
premises with him, unless she shall freely
and voluntarily sign and acknowledge the
same, and the officer taking such acknoTl-
edGement shall fully apprise her OF her
right, and the effect of signing such mort
gage" This act applying to mortgages
only, it was, on March IL, 1886, amended
so as to read as fellows: Every owner
or ~occupier of a homestead as established
by this act. may voluntarily sell, mortgage
or otherwise dispose of or cucumber the
same; provided, that every such sale,
mortgage, disposal of or incumbrance shall
be absolutely void unless the wife of the
owner and occupier of such homestead, if
he have any, shall, separate and apart
from her said husband, freely and volun-
tarily sign and acknowledge the instrument
of wricing conveying, mortEaGinE, dispos-
ing of or encumDering such homestead, and
the officer taking her acknowledgment
shall fully apprise her OF her right and the
effect of signing and acknowledging such
instrument"
1t is understood that an appeal will be
taken from the decision rendered on
Monday to the supreme court of the
United States. In the event the decision
is sustained-as it undoubtedly will be
the law on the subject of dover, and the
signing Of deeds by a married woman
conveying property belonging to her hus-
band, the property in question not being
a homestead. will be aJ follows:
Since December 10. 1869, dover has
not existed IN the territory or state. and
no claiGo to dover can be set up.
Since that date, any conveyance of real
estate made by a married man, provided
such real estate was not his homestead, is
valid, even without his wile's signature.
From December 6. 1869, to March II,
1886, any sale OF real estate, comprising
the grantor's homestead, is valid. ever
without the wiie's signature, but a
mortgage on such homestead, without the
signature of the wife, is not good as
against her. Since March IL. 1886, aud
up to the present time, either a mortgage
or a sale of a homestead is not valid unless
the wife of the grantor sign the deed.
