SMOKED OUT.
County Officials and Court House Wis
itors Undergo Fumigation.

Everyone who visits the court house
today is seized with a cough. The cor
ridOrs from the basement to the gar
ret. and all the offices which have not
been kept closed, are filed with the
fumes of burning sulphur. The court
house is being fumigated.
For the past two weeks there has
been a case of measles in the base
ment. Mrs Laptad, the janitress of the
court house, lives in the basement and
her little grandchild was taken with
the measles and had to be kept in Mrs.
Iaptad's apartments. The child has
now recovered, and the rooms were flu
migated with sulphur today. The fumi-
cation is not confined to the apart
ments where the chil$ was SICK but
the odOr permeates all parts of the
building, with the possible exception of
the district court room, which has been
kept shut in order to keep the fumes
out.
There have been an unusual large
number of visitors to the court house
today, and many people could not stay
in the building more than a few min
nteS at a time. The motion docket is
always called in the district court on
Monday morning, and brings so or go
lawyers to the court house, in addition
to a large number of spectators. This
is also pension day, ana several hun
dred people have visited the county
clerks Office to swear to their pension
papers.
LIT. GallanaIn, clerk OF the district
court, is troubled with asthma, and the
fumes We're especially offensive to him.
Il do not see" he said, why this fu-
migation could not have been done yes
terday when the court house was shut
up. But here the health authorities,
or who ever has it in charge, have
waited until Monday morning, the
busiest time of the week, for it."
Most of the other officers and those
whose business compels them to re-
main in the court house, had similar
complaints. They managed to get
along by stopping their work every few
minutes and going out to get a breath
of fresh air.
County Clerk Wright was the only
one who did not complain. He had in
tended to turn a lot of formaldehyde
loose in his Office to kill any possible
smallpox microbes which might dodge
in along with the crowd of poor people
who came to have their pension papers
made out. but the sulphur fumigation
saved him the trouble.
