of the nuptials of an octogenarian

played over Gauntlett's familiar
tune, which is also associated with an
other hymn, some of the naughty CHOIR

remarkable talent she, Icarus-like, once

The latest drama of the elder Du-

One of the earliest works of "AleXan-
DIRE the Great" this gentle romance
differs alike in atmosphere and treat
ment from his lustier stories of adven-
ture. The scene is laid in Holland in
1872, and the political conspiracy Of
the De Witt brothers and the tulip ma
MIA prove a historical background fer
the tender love passages from which
the drama springs. At the Haymarket

Maude will appear as Van Baerle, the
tulip-loving savant, and Winifred En-
cry as Rosa, the unlettered daughter of

The Jail-and Court House Problem.

We understand the present county
board received surprise when their
attention was called to the true situa-
ton OF the county buildings. 1t ap-
pears that the four Offices now occupied
by the county clerk, register of deeds,
clerk of the court and county judge
are badly in need of more vault room
for the safe keeping of the records OF
the county, and it is said that frequent
complaints have been made for a num-
Der of years past by attorneys and other
persons having business to transact in
the county Judges Office on account of
the Judges room being too small for
the number of people having business
there, especially on court days; and as
for our Jail, it is pronounced by most of
our exsheriffs and others to be the
poorest excuse of a Jail in the state, being
inconvenient, defective in strength and
proper sewerage. The clever criminal
crook soon gains his liberty by removing
bar from one of the windows or
cutting the hinges from one of the
doors, and in every case the sheriff is
charged with either completely or neg
-ligence. Much has been said and many
plans suggested by the different mem
bers of the board as the best and
cheapest way out of the present dilim
ma, but the most popular one seems to
be the remodeling of the lower story o.
the court house and the placing of
proper vaults in the different offices
there for the use of the county officials
and sell the old county building. 1t is
claimed by many that if full value is
realized for that property that it will
be sufficient to fix the court house up
IN good shape, and also put the neces-
sary repairs OF the Jail. The architect
employed by the board estimates the
cost Of remodeling the court house at
about 81 900. But this plan meets with
considerable opposition, as those op-
posed to it say that the court house is
not of sufficient strength to enable any
contractor to remove any part without
great danger to the building, and
therefore advocate the sale of the court
house and the building Of new one
close to the jail. But think this last
plan would be strongly opposed by the
tax payers of the county, as they have
not yet quite forgotten the cost of the
preoent court house. However, the
next County Board will have this mat
ter on their hands and will find it a
very interesting matter to dispose of if
they have any interest in the welfare
of the tax payers of the county.
