LEAGUE HOLDS ANIMAL.
Yesterday morning Rev. Henry
Brink OF Orion delivered the sermon,
which was heard by the largest morn
ing audience of the encam pment. The
afternoon was given over TO the bust
ness session and in the evening the
Epworth league of the county held it's
annual meeting. The services We're
led by DR. f. F. Roe of Bradford. III.
The meeting was largely attended.
ATTENDANCE Is SMALL.
For several reasons the attendance
at the camp meeting this year has
been considerably lighter than usual
and it was this fact that caused the
discontinUance idea TO be broached.
Fewer OF the cottages are occupied
this year than ever before. and 10 a
considerable extent, less interest has
been shown. However. among those
who are at the meeting the best OF
spirit prevails and the meeting is

the encampment, and the biggest
crowd OF the week is expected to be
present. All through the week thsre
has been fairly good attendance at the
evening meetings, which is taken as
an indication of the fact that people
want to be present, but could not or
would not rent the cottages and there
fore had to go out when opportunity
presented.

IATENSER AFTER BUILDERS
Says They Must Heat Court House
if Work is to Be Accepted.
BUILDING COLD AND DAMP
In No Condition TO Have woodwork
Put On or Even 90 he stored
in the New County
building.

Notice that the new county building is
unprotected against cold weather and is
unfit TO receive wood finish, either for
storage OF for placing on the walls was
served upon Caldwell q Drake. general
contractors on the building, by John
Latenser, county architect, Wednesday.
Mr.. Latenser notified the general con-
tractor that none Of the wood finish
placed in the building in present ccadi-
tons will be accepted.
The situation appears to be the result
of the failure Of the county commits
sioners to adopt strong. business methods
in forcing the general contractors to pro-
coed properly with the building construc-
ton. From time to time for several
months the democratic board has made
sporadic shows OF disposition 20 stop
dilly- dallying with the general contrac-
tors and to force them to proceed TO the
completion of their contract, as the con-
tractors on the new Union Pacific build
ing or any construction work for a
private corporation would proceed. The
results have been conferences with
George w. Caldwell and Lester Drake.
The results of the conferences have been
promises by the general contractors,
Mr.. Latensers letter calls attention to
the fact that on several occasions he has
taken up with the general contractors the
matter Of closing the building and provid-
ing for temporary heat during the winter
months and to the further fact that a
month ago the matter was taken up by
the county commissioners.
But today, the letter says, the building
is cold and damp; woodwork has been
stored in the building and doors have
been vanished wood finish has been put
on the walls; there are fourteen plaster
ers, seven painters and sixteen carpenters
at work at the building, while the win
dows and parts OF the skylights are open
and the temperature on the outside is 81
degrees above zero,
A copy of MIR. Latensers letter was
filed with the Board of County commits
sioners, that they may know just what
the situation is. Until some arrangement
for heating the building is made by
Caldwell & Drake or the commissioners
practically no more work can be done on
the new building, unless warm weather
comes and continues.
building to he Heated.
Upon receipt of the copy of the letter
"a
of County Commissioners, ordered the
general contractors to suspend work until
the building properly is heated
1.-THE heating arrangements will be
completed in two or three days" said
Mr. Bedford. Caldwell & Drake will
have to arrange. with J. ]. Hanighen, the
heating contractor, about heating the
building, as / don't think the county has
to do it. II they can't thrash 1t out and
agree the county will have to do some
thing. 1 don't know but it would be bet
ter for the county to go ahead and heat
the building anyhow rather than let the
trouble cause delay. 1 don't think undel
the contract the county is supposed t.
heat the building while it is in process Of
construction, but maybe 1t would be bet
ter If we should do it,"

CADET OFFICERS TO
HAVE BIG THEATER PARTY

The Cadet Officers club of the Omaha
High school met in the assembly room at
the school Wednesday noon and decided
to hold a theater party next month. The
cadet officers will attend the party in
full dress uniform accompanied by
friends, and as there is a total of forty
four commissioned officers in the regi-
ment at present a good-sized party is
expected.
The officers held a lengthy discussion
on the question of holding the party in
boxes or in the orchestra, and finally
decided on the orchestra because none of
the local theaters could accommodate so
many persons in box party. Rex Houl-
ton, president OF the club, appointed the
following committee TO have charge of
the party: George Grimes, chairman;
sievers Susmann and VIII Noble.

Gated at Fifteenth and Dodge streets, is
not entirely completed, IL is understood
that the directors of the Hartman sys-

employment to several hundred men.
While 1t is not known at this time just
what move the Hartman men propose TO
make, reports come from the east that 1t
is more than likely that the shops will
be materially enlarged and that a number
OF new departments will be added. thus
