1t is known that the Commissioners
do not believe there is any room in the
new building for the various cOurtroOms
and accessories without crowding the
other municipal offices and making the
conditions the same as those now en-
dured. In apportioning the space the
Commissioners have been as generous
as possible with each department.
There is no room to throw away, but
just about enough TO guarantee the
comfortable administration of af-
fairs
Want New Quarters.
The Commissioners are anxious. how
ever. that the Police Court get a new
home, and If they decide adversely on
the proposition now before them they
will be none the less urgent before the
Appropriations Committee in Congress
that the item of s3S. 900 be granted.
Judges Kimball and Scott, in com
menting on the present conditions, say:
'sThe unsuitable character and unsan-
itary condition of the present Police
Court Building are a disgrace to the
Capital City of the nation. Not only mas

The Commissioners, in their estimates
to Congress for the next fiscal year.

All that could be learned from the
Commissioners today was that the prop

are considering it. No expression could
be obtained from Colonel Biddle as to
what disposition would be made OF the
request further than that If the Com
missioners approve the plans for the
new Municipal Building as they now
stand, il will signify that they prefer

Space Worth Money.

The publisher of newspaper
has one thing to sell, and one
thing to rent. He has the news
paper to sell, and the space IN
his columns to rent. Can anyone
inform us why he should be ex-
pected to give away either the
one or the other? He can, ii he
SO chooses and he does as a mat
ter of fact, furnish a great deal
of space free. But it does not
follow that he ought to be expect
ed to do so: 1t ought to be rec
ognized as a contribution, exactly
as would be the giving away OF
sugar or coffee by grocer. But,
strange to say, it is not looked
upon in that light at all; and yet
everybody knows that the exist
ence of a newspaper depends up
on the rent of its space and the
sale of the paper, just the same
as a merchant success depends
on selling his goods instead of
giving them away.

How He Met His Death.

The Charleston Gazette gives
the following details Of the death
of Frank Latshaw, a well known
oil man in Roane county, on
Thursday, brief details of which
are: A new rigging had just been
completed for the sinking of a
well near ANNA, and Latshaw,
who with T. G. Hall, of this city,
have the contract for the work OF
the company, had climbed to the
top of the frame work to adjust
the drill rope over the pulley at
the top of the derrick. He car
ried a Ratchet in one hand for the
purpose of trimming up some OF
the frame work at the top, and a
short stick in the other to use in
adjusting the rope over the pull
ley. When he, placed the stick
between the rope and the pulley
to guide the line into the groove
of the pulley it is supposed the
force of the movement of the rope
threw him off his balance and he
fell through the air, turning clear
over two or three times as he de-
scended, striking the hard board
walk between the engine and rig
cling. with fearful force. When
the other workmen reached his
side, all life had gone from his
body, and almost every bone was
broken

company, arrived in the city this
morning and the plans are being
rapidly pushed forward for the

In conversation with repre-

largest and most complete organi-
cation of this kind in existence.

Murderers Landed in the Pen.

The three Moore brothers, Rob
ert, Ollie and Hans, convicted on
Friday evening in the criminal
court of Lewis county of the muir
der of Benjamin Edgar, a farmer,
were received at the penitentiary
Saturday morning. H. Robert,
aged "a, and Ollie, aged % years,
will spend the balance of their
lives in the penitentiary. Hans,
aged 10, will be just twice as old
as he is now when he is discharg-
ed from prison. When the three
boys stepped from the train Ollie
and Hans were handcuffed tOgeth-
er and Robert had his hands man
acled together in front of him.
They were accompanied by the
Sheriff and two deputies. The
BOYS were awkward looking far
mer youths, tall and slender, and
dressed after the manner of the
average country boys. They ap-
peared to fully realize the ap-
palling awfulness of their fate,
and their eyes were downcast, to-
tally oblivious to the crowds OF
circus goers who were waiting at
the station. The murder for
which the boys were sentenced
was committed in Webster corn-
ty, but such was the feeling to-
ward them that court granted a
change of venue and the trial was
held in Lewis county. The boys
killed Farmer Edgar because the
latter objected to their keeping
company with his daughters.

He also stated, and it is a well

passed beyond experiment. They
are a proven success. They Gre

people to the city who spend

advantages are many and great.
In the past years hundreds OF
committees have been taught that
a carnival is the largest, best and
most lasting advertisement. The
people demand them and are not
satisfied without them. The pull
pit has cried out against immoral
hours. All amusements with the
Robinson Carnival company are
of a high moral character. They
are cheap, innocent amusements.
The company has demonstrated
there can be ample fun and frol-

The fun is the best that money
