Court House Extension.

The County Commissioners are In SEES

ness of various kinds and with Treasurer
Reed have the financial statement nearly
ready for the printer.
They have also made decided progress
in the purposed extension and repair oil
the court house, authorized by the legis-
lature in 1908 Plans were first made
for rebuilding the present structure
without any extension, but these failed
OF being satisfactory and were aban-
doned. Later plans have been made ard
specifications submitted for an extension
of 26 feet on the east end of the present
structure and quite extensive interior
alterations, and these plans were sub
and CITIZEN at the court house, yester-
day who appeared there Oh invitation Of
the board TO look them over and make
suggestions.
These plans as made by John C1lvin
Stevens, architect, on the ground fl 1or
leave the clerk of courts flee practically
as at present, change the registry oil
deeds to the rear of the building, mostly
in the proposed new part, giving to that
Office about double the space now used,
making it all fire proof. The county
commissioners and county treasurer will
occupy the space now used by the regis
try Of deeds. This uses up the south
side of the ground fl Dor. The north side
will be occupied by the probate court,
the grand jury, the county attorney, and
the sheriff.
On the second floor the court room
will remain practically as at present.
One Jury room will be eliminated and
some minor changes will be made on the
weet end The extension will be large
ly used on the second floor for the couL-
ty law library, while place will be found
for an attorneys room and room for
the presiding Judge, both opening into
the court room and into the law library.
The sum of about s35 900 is, or will
be, available for this operation, and the
plans and specifications are adjusted to
this amount, including necessary pur-
chase of a strip of land to accommodate
the enlarged building.
The gentlemen present seemed to b.
pleased with the plans after suggesting
sundry changes. We unde stand the
plans in all their details are not fully

with the work ard purpose to have i

and yeoman-soldiers, singly and in
groups, filtered quietly through the
shadows and placed themselves at
their chiefs back.
But though the kings brows had
met'for an instant in lowering arch,
some second thought controlled him.
When he spoke, his words were even
gracious: Il think the Lord of WARS
dale has the right of it. The crime
the boy purposed was not carried out
and in each case, Lord Sebert was his
captor l am content to trust to his
wardership.'
Seberts frank face betrayed his
surprise at the complaisance. but he
gave his pledge and his thanks with
what courtliness he could muster, and
releasing his passive prisoner, pushed
her gently into the safekeeping of
the old cniht. Yet he was not so
obtuse as to step back, as though the
incident were closed; he read the
kings infection more correctly than
that. Holding himself somewhat stiff
in the tenseness of his feelings, he
stood his ground in silent alertness.
A rustic of uneasiness crept the
round of the assembled mobiles. Only
the monarchs bland composure re-
manned unrufiied. Advancing with the
deliberate grace that SO well became
his mighty person, he seated himself
upon a convenient boulder and signed
the figure in the shadow to draw
nearer.
AS it obeyed, every one of the yeo-
men-soldiers strained his eyes in that
direction, as though hoping to surprise
in the great traitors face some secret
of his power, the power that had made
three kings as wax between his fin
gers! But just short of the fire-glow
the Gamer paused, and the hooded
cloak which shrouded him merged
him hopelessly into the shadow. Only
the hand that rested on his sword-hilt
protruded into the light. 1t was a
broad hand, and thick-fingered as q
butchers, and it was milk-white and
weighted with massave rings.

Keeping Voters from Polls.

Some years ago an Englishman,
when travelling in Spain, fell in with a
member of the national parliament
who opposed the government. There
had been a dissolution of parliament
and the Englisnman asked the Span
lard if he would be reelected. ooh,
no. he said, there is not chance of
it. Presently they arrived at the
principal town of this gentleman's
constituency and he received a regu-
lar ovation on his way to the hotel.
Surely" saiG the Englishman. you
are mistaken; you seem extremely
popular here" "Oh. yes," was the
reply, Il am very popular, but won't
get in, nevertheless" How will the
government prevent your getting ino"
was the rejoinder. "Oh, they have
all kinds of methods. | will tell you
one. They will fix polling place in
such and such d barn. A large and
very fierce mastiff is kept there and
when any one likely to vote for me
makes his appearance they will let tha
beast loose"
