COUNTY'S CAPITOL.
The Supervisors to Undertake
the Preliminaries.
SESSION TAKES PLACE NEXT WEEK.

No Necessity for Any Delay In Getting 1t
the Actual Constructios -rhe Present
Boards Proud Privilege In the Premises
Let 1t he Pushed.
The board Of supervisors meets in
special December session next
Wednesday. and the prime duty be-
fore it, as indeed the one which will
engage its thoughts for some time to
come, will be the matter OF the cree
ton of the new court house-Rock
Island county's capitol building.
The preliminaries are such that they
may be readily disposed Of without
unnecessary delay. The matter Of
placing the bonds and determining
permanently upon the site and plans
time. and as the present board,
prompted by commendable pride and
public spirit, is anxious to get the
work well under way this winter, it
is not to be doubted that operations
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
After having arranged for the bond
issue through the proper committee,
the board may be expected to APP
point its committee on construction.
and then a short tour NAV be antici-
pated preparatory to determining
upon plans. This need not consume
great deal of time, and then will
come the advertising for architec-
tural ideas. This proceeding should
invite proposals from the best talent
in the country, as Rock Island is out
after the handsomest building in the
state.
No Hurry About the Local Superintendent.
There has been rumor afloat of
late to the effect that an attempt was
to be made to have local superin-
tendent appointed at the very outset.
AID to give him absolute charge of
all matters pertaining to the build
ing, such as drawing of plans, etc..
the entire scheme being of political
nature. Such a course would not
only be unjust. but unnecessary.
From what can be learned through
in Illinois erecting new court houses,
have thought of the idea of a super
intendent until the plans were &C.
cepted. The board is capable of dis
posing Of all preiiminaries. and a
| considerable expense can be saved by
putting off the appointment of a
supervising architect until the need
of such an officer presents itself. I'M
der the actual construction. Then
the board will experience no diff
Guilty in getting plenty of good men
here at reasonable salary.
Local Labor.
The county should. as said
above. have the advantage of compe-
tition among the best architects of
the country on plans. but when the
design is accepted. the board should.
and doubtless will, stipulate as far
as it can within the law for the
work to be done by local contractors.
and that union labor. which did so
much for the success of the bond is
sue in the interests of home working
men. should have the fullsbenefits of
the money to be expended by the
county on the new building.

Nebraska has 4 case OF twins to
tackle. In Omaha 4 man was sentenced
to three years in the ~penitentiary.
Another man was sentenced to thirty
days in jail. They are OF the same
name and say they are twins.
BY some mischauce they were put in
the same coll in Jail. One OF them was
sent 10 the penitentiary to serve the
three years term. This man said he is
the ono sentenced to Jail for thirty days.
Then the other nan was taken to the
penitentiary. lie admits that hc is tho
twin brother Of the other prisoner, but
declares that he drew tho Jail prize and
that the other follow is entitled to tho
states hospitality for three years.
To make sure OF the right man both
are held in the penitentiary, and it is
said that both will be kept therefor the
full term. OF course there is no power
in the state to settle tho complicated
question in this way. One OF the twins
is entitled to his freedom after thirty
days in Jail, and ii by some.olicial neg
ligence the identity OF tho twins has be.
come so confused that the state cannot
slraightcn out, the tangle, this cannot
impair tho right OF thejail bird to spend
his thirty days in Jail and then 20 free.
Beyond question tho burden OF proof
is on the state to show which Of the
twins was sentenced. to tho penitentia-
~. The state cannot lawfully hold both
in the penitentiary. To do that would
be to lookup Tor three years in 4 iclon's
cell Q man Of whose trial, conviction
and sentence ior felony the state can
chow no record.
Already the mixing up shows an
"out" in tho countyjail, for tho county
record shows the trial, conviction and
sentence OF q man who has not been
pardopcd, has not been taken out dead,
ia known not to have broken out, and
is not in the Jail. Altogether this is o
remarkable case OF twins.
