Dirt and Cod at

Un~cleanliness of Building is Heaped

terferes with Business.

Although the mercury has risen out Of
door, the Douglas county court house has
not yet become any fiery furnace and the
business Of the county is In part at a
standsfHl and in part performed with great
diff iculty.
The v-niremen were excused until Mon
day and no jury trials are going on. The
judges on the equity side who have their
courts in the Bee building are of course
working regularly.
The offices In the court house have had
to be kept open. but the officials are work
ing at a disadvantage and with much dis
comfort. The girl employees in the office
of the clerk Of district court have reported
each morning and been sent home while
the men sit around swaddled like Arctic
explorers.
The rays of the sun burned brightly Fri
day, but found it difficult to effect an en-
trance through the far from clean win
dows of the building and the heat which
would nave been gained from this SOURCE
was thus lost.
The windows Of most Of the offices Of
the court house are in fact in a scandalous
condition. but not particularly different
from other conditions which an efficient
janitor service would obvlate. The dust
Of all the ages turks in every corner of the
gloomy corridors, though in the offices
there is left less dirt because the officials
would not stand for It in their personal
precincts. It is noticeable that the first
floor corridor, which is the one traversed
by the members OF the Board OF County
Commissioners is kept I'm better condition
than those upstairs by Janitor SJryker and
his men.

Is on the third Sunday in April to set
all the clocks forward to AS a. m.

workers and the people all over the
country to rise an hour earlier than
usual, without knowing it after the

schedules along one hour without
requiring any change of railroad times
