The grand jury banded in a
report on the condition of the
various county offices at the
county seat, and recommended
an addition to the present court
house for the purpose of hav-
ing additional room for the
necessary records. In their
judgement an addition should
be built for $4,000 or $4,000.
Necessary vaults should be pro-
vided for records but at this
time the tax payers of the coun-
ty will not stand for the erection
of a new court house. There.
is plenty doing in the way of
ditch taxes and more will be
levied in the near future.

The Omaha Bee, says: The
postoffice department has just
issued a new order relative to
the nonmailable character of
that variety of post cards orna-
mented with tinsel, powdered
glass and other matter that is
liable to come off the cards in
handling while in transit in the
mails. The new order directs
that such cards are nonmailable
unless securely and completely
sealed within an envelope and
are thus subject to letter post
age. Two or three bushels Of
these cards have already ac-
cumlated at the Omaha post
office and more are coming in
constantly. They will be pack
ed up and sent to the dead let
ter Office. This will mean that
all such cards will have to be
enclosed the same as a letter
and will mean considerable adj
ded revenue to the postal SER
vice.

A sudden idea flashed into the mind
OF the young detective. It was almost
as quickly put awav as it had come.
But he asked a question while under
the startling influence of tha1 idea
which he regretted the more when il
was answered
Was he at any other banks in Bal

"Oh. yes. sir the answer came back
glibly. 'He was at the Seventeenth
