The Times Position.

One of our business men ask
ed The Times today how it
stands on the Court House Bond
question. The Times is oppo-
sed to issuing bonds at the pres
ent time for a Court House, as
we believe the time has not vet
arrived to settle that question.
But we would rather see the
county build a good court house,
one the county the size of Har-
rison needs, than to appropriate
ONE CENT for repairs on the old
that is now used as a
Court House, as we think such
appropriation would be worse
than money thrown away. Har-
rlson Co has the wealth and pop
ulatlon to own a fine county
building, and if thepcoper time
had arrived We would be glad
to see one built one that would
be an honor to the county. We
believe this is a question for
the people of Harrison County
to decide for themselves, and if
they want to pay for an $S5, 900
Court House, we'll and good.

The board Of supervisors on
Tuesday employed an architect
to look over the court house
and report what was necessary
to put the building in a safe
condition. This action was
taken in conformity with the
report of the grand jury stat
ing that the building is unsafe.
This action while it might be
taken in good faith, looks very
much like a scheme to secure a
new court house for Logan,
with a view to hold the county
seat. If the house really needs
fixing, it has better be replaced
by a new one. Bat when this
comes to pass, a new location
should be considercl. Missouri
Valley is the proper place for
the county seat, being better
located with regard to railroad
facilities and much more con-
venient for the people in gen.
eral. AS long as the old house
will fill the bill the county seat
had better stay where it is but
when the new house is built,
build it where it belongs, at

Red Hot Suggestions.

You may have discovered
that you can not set the world
on fire; but that is no reason
why you should sit by with fol
ded hands and let some outsi-
der come in and feed his fur
mace with your fuel
There are no
IFS,
And's or
Butts
About it. There is only one
way to overcome this mail-or-
der competition and that is to
advertise.
An advertisement in your To-
cal paper telling the people that
you want their busines, backed
up with facts and figures, will
pay you a most handsome prof
it on the investment.
Tell the people what Mont
gomery Ward & Co., or Sears,
Roebuck & Co. charge for an
article and then tell them what
you will sell if for. Don't be
afraid to quote prices. They
are the most convincing talk
you can make.
Sentiment may have some
weight with some people, but
not with the big majority of
people. Quality for quality pri-
&c is what decides.
Take some standard article
and make a good price on it.;
then tell the people about it. 1t
may cost you a per cent in the
way of profit; but you will have
made one of the longest strides
you ever made in creating the
impression and convincing the
people that you can, and really
do meet catalogue competition.
Make it read as though it was
an everyday occurrence with
you.
The catalogue houses have
made their great reputation in
taking some standard article
like Uneda Biscuit and cutting
the life out of it to create the
impression that they sell every
thing on the same margin,
while you know very we'll the
relative profit on some other
items.
They take advantage of hui
manities child-like faith coup
led with their inability to COM
pare qualities and prey upon it.
Give a man a glass Of lemon
ade;; then blindfold and give
him a glass of sweetened water,
at the same time suggesting to
him that it is lemonade and he
will think it is.
Give a man a good bargain in
something that he is familiar
with; gain his confidence, and
the e rest will be easy sailing.
Try it.

WV. SOs
The Iowa supreme court yes
telday acted favorably upon
the application of r. A. Brown
& Co. for a stay of proceedings
in the Harrison-P Pottawattamie
ditch affairs pending the pros
ecution of an appeal from the
decision of the Pottawattamie
district court. This action effect
lively "ties up" the drainage
canal project until the hearing
on the appeal next January. No
bond was required of those who
were plaintiffs in the suit, and
this fact is a distinct disappoint-
ment to the legal represena-
tives of Harrison andsP Pottawat-
tamie counties, who We're insis-
tent upon the point that r. A..
Brown & Co., if granted the
stay of proceedings, should be
re luired to file a bond of from
$4,000 to 100000. 1t was
calculated that the carrying of
this point would embarrass the
plaintiffs to some extent, at
least, and might cause them to
forfeit the temporary legal adj
vantage rather than conform
to this condition.
Insisted Upon Old Contract.
r. A. Brown & Co., who were
among the unsuccessful bidders
for the ditch construction when
the contract was awarded in
September, are insisting upon a
right claimed under the award
made to them last year. The
firm then got its apparatus on
the ground and commenced
work, when the supreme court
declared the drainage law un-
constitutional and all work
was stopped. a new drainage
law was enacted by the legisla-
ture and the proceeding; for
the Harrison Pottawattamie
ditch were commenced all over
again, eliminating in the ad-
vertising for bids and the final
award without reference to
anything that had been done
under the law classed as un-
constitutional. With the opera
tion Of injunctions in the dis
trict court Brown & Co. have so
far prevented the joint board
of supervisors from signing the
contract with the successful
bidders, the Western Dredging.
company. When On the final
hearing in the district court

Co. was dissolved by Judge
Macy, Justice Deemer of the
