 Room Must Remain Open.
 The ladies' waiting room of the court house, in which the ladies of the city were recently permitted by the county commissioners to establish library, must be kept open for the original purpose or vacated as library. This was the decision of the board of county commissioners this morning when complaint was made that the room was locked and the key carried
 
 for the purpose for which it was con- structed.
 The order of the commissioners this morning to the sheriff was that he se- cure the key to the room and retain possession of it continuously, and see that the door is kept unlocked for the use of ladies as a waiting room.
