Something Must be Done, and Done
at Once.

of citizens at the Court House yestcr
day afternoon, at which the project Of
building a new Court House and jail
was discussed, was the absence Of
members of the Bar Association and
the presence of business men and
farmers.
Hitherto the impression has gone out
that none but lawyers were interested
in the building Of new Court House,
so the lawyers have decided to turn
the matter over to the business men
and farmers aud let them present the
arguments to the people.
The circumstances which has
brought the Court House project prom
inentIy before the people at this time
is the obligation on the part of the
county to provide additional room for
the new Common Pleas Judge, who
will take his Office next spring. 1t has
been proposed that the County Com
missioners build an addition to the
present Court House sufficient to pro.
vide room for the new court. 1t has
been estimated that this addition would
cost anywhere from $1,000 to $4,000,
and If built would postpone the build
ing of a new Court House for at least
ten years. This being the case num-
Der of business men, farmers and tax
payers who have been opponents of
the new Court House project hitherto
have determined to do all they can to
prevent the erection of the addition
to the present structure and to have
the people authorize the construction
of a new Court House.
1t is proposed to convert the present
Court House into Jail and Sneriff's
residence. and to erect the new Court
House just west of the old one. Judge
Kohler remarked at the meeting yes
terday that the noise of the railway
and shops proves very annoying to the
court in the present structure and
that the plan of building the new
Court House to the west would do
away with this inconvenience entire
ly.
County Commissioner Brewster an
nounced that it would cost but few
thousand dollars to remodel the pres
ept Court House into very seryicea.
BILE jail. A modern roof could he
placed upon the structure and the ar
chitecturai plan could be made to con-
form to that Of the new Cour. House
After the committee OF citizens is or
gsnized throughout the county, mass
meetings Will be held in every town
ship in the county to present the facts
to the people and invite them to CO.
operatc in the movement, which will
be so greatly to their county's advan-
tage. The expenditure for the new
Court House aud Jail will be limited to
$500. 600 This, ii Is believed, will give
the county a Court House equal to
Warrens, which cost S225,0o0.

no credentials beyond a letter from
Miss Clara Barton to the effect that
