hundred communications have been re-
ceived, and Inspector White, in his travels
over the state, has met a number OF
butter makers who announce their in
tention to enter He is convinced that
there will be at least 200 competitors
and that the exhibits will prove success
ful.
The exhibits will not be restricted to but
ter, as cheese will also be displayed upon
the same conditions and the entries in
that line of dairy food promise to be

resolution was also passed authorizing
an additional bond issue of $4,000 to cover
the cost OF the site and the preparation of
1t Tor the Jail, thus making the total
amount of bonds issued for the Jail S2iO,-
COJ. The new bonds to be issued will run
twenty years at So per cent The resoIu-
ton for their issuance was offered by
Commissioner Wright and he stated IN
offering it that it would be necessary to
provide the funds before selecting a site.
Alter this the resolution for the site was
offered.
The credit for the selection, if there be
any credit, is due to Mayor Smith, and
Commissioners Webster and Gray The
mayor and the commissioners, with the
exception of Powers, decided last week
that the Tarbox site was the only proper
one. Powers was out of the city at the
time, but it is understood that on his
return he expressed himself as being in
favor OF the site. At any rate a meeting
vas held yesterday morning by Mayer
Smith, and Commissioners Gray ard Weh-
ster. The other commissioners saw fur
Their objection was futile, and SO the
resolution for the selection OF the Tarbox
site was passed without opposition.

Commissioner DonohJe was INN eiiat eiy
given notice to stop work on the excava-
ton of the court house square, and the
county attorney was directed to adjust
the contracts so that they will fill the new
site. The commissioners in executive ses-
sion decided to readvertise for bids for
tearing down the buildings now upon the
proposed site and for excavating the eel
lar. The bids will be advertised for and
opened Thursday at 10 a. m

chiefly of plate glass windows, which
will cause little trouble in the removal

ORIGINAL AWARD STANDS
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT
DENIES PETITION OF REY-
NO5.nS G co

A decision was fled in the United States
circuit court of appeals yesterday in the
case of Z. p. Reynolds & Co, appellants,
VS. The Manhattan Trust Company, rap-
pellees holding that the award to the APP
pellantS stand as it is.
From the original decision it appears
that the appellants fled a crossbill in a
railroad foreclosure suit in the United
States circuit court for the district of
Nebraska to establish a mechanics lien
against the mortgaged property in the
sum of $37, 400 for work done on the road
The road was sold under a decree of fore
closure and a bond given by the pur-
chasers to guarantee the lien. The ques-
ton at issue was referred to a master
in chancery, who held that the company
was entitled to a lien for $13,6O0. EXcep-
tons were filed to the report and a de-
cree was entered by the circuit court dis
missing the IenorS' croSsbnl and their
claim for a lien. The court of appeals
reversed the decree and sustained the de-
ciSfon of the master in chancery, and di-
rected that the case be remanded to the
circuit court, with directions to sustain
the ruling of the master, which was done.
Then followed the application for fur
Their relief which the decision of yester-
day denies.
