Editors Likeness Outlined In Pillar In
Senate Office Building.
There is only one picture in the new
senate Office building at Washington.
The face of William Randolph Hearst
ornaments the main assembly room of
the committee on claims. Senator
Burnham, chairman Of this committee,
didn't order the Hearst likeness and
is powerless to- direct that it be re-
moved-in fact. it might be necessary
to tear down section Of the big Office
building to get rid Of the Hearst face.
A few days ago one Of Senator Burn.
hams clerks discovered that the veins
in the marble of one Of the large pill
lars in the claims committee room out
lined a likeness Of Mr.. Hearst. Since
then hundreds Of visitors to the Office
building, including q dozen or more
senator's, have seen It. That's Hearst,
sure enough" said Senator La Fol-
lette when he visited Mr.: Burnham's
rooms the other day. Other members
of the senate agreed that the face in
the marble is a striking portrait Of the
New York editor. = q. -, s,*s

The Old City Charter Amnul1ed

Tuesday, by vote of 129 to Is, the
citizens of Elk Point voted to discard
the old special charter under which
the city was organized in an early day
and to re-incorporate under the state
law. Nearly all the old cities In the
state that held special charters have
already done this and the law careful
ly provides the steps to be taken to re-
organize.
At the regular meeting OF the coun.
Gil in April, the present council will
divide the city into three wards. The
section west of Douglas street will In
all probability be made one ward ani
the section east OF Douglas street will
be divided into two wards by Mair
street. There will be two aldermen In
each ward instead of one as formerly
The election will come on the thiri
Tuesday in April, the Goth. The new
mayor will appoint most OF the mino
officers instead OF electing them a
formerly.
| Strictly speaking there will be no re
incorporation. The vote Tuesday an
nuls the old charter. Hereafter the
city will have no charter, but will b.
governed under the provisions Of tb,
state law instead.

plete in its entirety that one hardly
knows where to begin TO tell about it.
There are four panels in the room,
made to represent four frames, with q
circle 10 the center to represent dome
with clouded heaven, and string
Of roses and cupids. Surrounding the
ceiling is An S-foet oval cove that has
historical scenes represented on the
sides In the front over the head OF the
Judge, is an imm nse elk's head pro-
ding from a dark background, with
plush curtains on each side that must
be looked at twice to detect the fact
that they are only painted on the
walls. One is almost relieved to know
for sure that the elk head is real. On
the right hand side is life-sized fig
ure OF the goddess OF justice that looks
as If it might have been taken bodily,
frame and all, from one of the recent
exhibits in the French salon, SO per-
feet is the work. On the left hand
side is a picture, that, If anything, is
better, when you stop to consider that
i. is original, Of the goddess OF liberty.
On either side are copies of the famous
paintings, 9x4 feet, representing 1.-The
Monarch of the Glen" and After the
Chase" In the back of the court room
is little painting that stands in a
class all by itself 1t is the great seal
Of South Dakota supported by two
dragons.
But why use up space In telling you
that the work is perfect? Take good
look at it and then try to 6nd better or
more diversified work in the United
States, You will travel far and be
subject to many disappointments.
The state legislature OF South Da-
kota need not look further than our
own state to find decorators for the
new state house. The firm OF John
Parr & Co., OF Yankton, are able to
produce work that will compare favor
ably with any work Of this description
ia the world. One of the company,
who is known as an artist throughout
New York, Pennsylvania and Mi
sofa, no less than South Dakota, said
that it was grand piece Of work and
that Yankton should feel proud that
they have firm able to do this high
class work; that the South Dakota
capitol need not look further than
their owe state, as there are artists
ia the state that are able to produce
work of any description and at a more
reasonable figure than any from the
outside. In justice to the tax payers
this old established firm should be en-
titled to some consideration. They
employ none but the best artists that
money and experience can secure and
are working hard to build up reputa-
ton second to none in the Uni ed
States. A visit to the Union County
court house will convince anyone that
better work cannot be done.

The Interior Decorations of the Court
HOuSe

Last week the improvements and
decoration of the interior OF the court
house, upon which John Parr & Co. of
Yankton have been working the past
two months, were completed. When
Judge Jones entered the court house
to hold the March term of court he
was greatly surprised at the change
that had been wrou sht, as pains had
been taken to keep these improve
ments quiet until they were complet-
ed.
We shall attempt no careful descrip.
tion of the decorations, as i, has been
well done by one who has travelled quite
extensively and observed closely. His
communication follows below, together
with letter from Judge Jones:
To the UNION COUNTY COURIER:
[ wish to congratulate the citizens
OF Union county upon the high class OF
workmanship displayed in the new
decorations OF your Court House. Hav-
ing seen this kind of WORK in seventeen
state buildings and over three hundred
court houses, will say, have never seer
better work in any one of them. There
Is refreshing lack of informality and
sameness so common in public build
ings, each room having a separate de-
sigu, yet beautifully harmonizing one
with another.
Entering the halls, one Is confronted
with wainscoting and arches that by
many will always be taken for real Sen-
pa marble. Oniy very close examina-
lion reveals the fact that it is the
artists work and not the MAI BILE cut
ter's. The other halls are decorated
and frescoed in leather colors, giving a
very pleasing effect and harmonizing
with the decorative scheme OF the
whole building.
Entering the little room used by the
county commissioners, we find it deco
rated ia four shades OF green, panelled
ceiling and eide walls in free hald re-
lief work, high lighted with gold, CIV
ing an effect that could only be pro
due, d by the highest class artist. The

John Parr, Esq.
Yankton, S. ID.
My Dear Sir:
desire strongly to commend you
on the elegant job of decoration you
did upon the interior of the Union
County Court House. TO see it, as did
without any previous hint of what was
going on, was most agreeable surprise.
Wherever permanent Court House
has been erected, the County Board
can do nothing that will afford their
constituents and themselves more
satisfaction than to paint up and dec
crate in a style as artistic as is your
work at Elkpoint.
Very Respectfully Yours,
J. w. JONES.
