years performances will in every way
be up TO the standard of those which
have preceded it, and modestly as
seTts that perhaps il will be a little
better by reason of the fact that
many novel attractions have been i'm
ported from Europe, and in many
other ways the circus proper has been
bcautified and enlarged.
The policy of popular prices which
was inauSurated by the Sclls--FlOto
people three years ago is still in
force Up to that time no one in the
amusement business believed that it
would have been possible to have
staged such tremendous attraction
at the general admission fee of -
cents. But the Floto people APP
pear to have solved that problem
and are evidently making both profit
and patronage by reason of it.

COURT HOUSE
IS MAUS0LEUM
Recesses of Old Structure,
However, Yield Up Some
Valuable Information on
the History of the Build
ing

Since agitation faVoring the erection
of Il new court house was suggested
by The Republican several weeks ago
the age and previous condition Of ser
vitude of the present ancient pile has
been frequently asked.
Chief Clerk Miller and assistant
Standage took an excursion yesterday
into the musty tones of a long gone
decade. but emerged triumphant with
the information sought for. Il de-
velopci that in June 1879 a bond issue
of $4,000 was authorized for che con
struction OF court house in the city
of Phoenix
This establishes the age of the pres
ent structure at approximately thirty
three years In 1894 the quarters
being much too small a $25. 600 bond
issue was created with the proceeds
of which the annex, or the present Jail
section was built Thus the entire
plant represents total cost of $4,000.
There Is nothing fire proof about
the court house and it is a matter for
serious doubt if even the vaults wouhl
withstand the raVaGcs of Il fire Ev-
cry department housed within its walls
is crying for relief, ana the supcrvis-
ors are informally turning the matter
over in their several minds and tn"
issue is likely to become Il live one
very soon. for the conditions cannot
well go on as they are for an indefinite
period.
The suggestion which meets with
the greatest amount Of public APP
prevail is /" sell the present court
house square for business property. it
being estimated that $400000 could be
realized from such a sale. This would
enable the county To purchase 4 suit
sable site. convenient To the business
center. YET not on the main street
With the proceeds handsome court
house fitted for the handling or
growing and important jurisdiction
could be erected. ana large sum of
money be left in the treasury
