Reasons for Building

1T is a matter of public knowledge that
the question of building a new courthouse
has been submitted to the people in three
elections in the last six years, at which
elections the proposition of erecting a new
courthouse was emphatically defeated
The board, therefore. feels that they have
orders from the public against large ex-
penditure of money for the relief of the
conditions surrounding the present court
house, and yet no one will deny that some
relief is essential, not alone on the ac-
count of want of room in the present
courthouse necessary for the transaction
of public business with ease and conf
fort, but also because of the fact of the
imperative demand for fireproof record
rooms. The chances of possible destruc-
tion of the records of this county are too
grave to admit Of any further delay in
preparing a fireproof vault for their pro-
lection and preservation. The board feels
that it cannot make any further delay n
the matter of providing for the safety of
the county records. In doing so, with
very little additional cost, the additional
rooms above spoken of can be supplied,
affording grace and symmetry to the new
structure, and relief at least for several
years to come Of conditions which have
been portrayed by the press as insani-
tary and intolerable. Hence, the action
of the board in contracting for new adj
dition. Respectfully submitted.

Appointments of New Building

There will be provided in the new
building two fireproof record rooms, two
criminal court rooms, criminal court
clerks office, solicitors office. grand jury
room, educational department, sheriffs
office, rooms for the courts of common
pleas, Jail warden's office, additional jury
rooms, consultation room for Judges,
rooms for county surveyors, and two or
three rooms as yet unassigned
1T will be readily seen from the above
that the present courthouse will be re-
lieved of the criminal courts, and the
crowds of witnesses and spectators which
usually attend criminal court hearings.
Thus, the corridors will not be congested
on Monday mornings with jurors and wit
nesses as they have been for the last sew
eral years. The present quarters occu-
pied by the criminal courts will be used
by the civil courts and will provide ample
and comfortable accommodation for the
same. The removal of the sheriff's office
and the courts of common pleas and the
county surveyors, superintendent of edu-
cation, will leave ample facilities for
making suitable accommodations for the
tax assessor and tax collector and other
officers An additional elevator installed
in the new building will facilitate the

A SMART COAT FOR AUTUMN DAYS

a D4uA tVAA iVAA - u NV IN y
Could anybody find prettier,
smarter coat than this one for the
autumn suit? The ABRUPTLY cutaway
fronts and the slightly elongated back
give beautiful becoming lines. The
narrow Tuxedo collar and the rolled
over cuffs mean real distinction. Since
there is only one button, it can be
made handsome without undue cost
and the buttons OF the season are in
themselves a study. Besides being
smart. and becoming, the coat is
easy to make and that fact Is appeal
ing. The straight lines give slender
ness. The checked suiting illustrated
is trimmed with white hroadcloth but
there is a tendency toward the use of
rough and velvet finished fabrics for
fall and, among the new suitings. wool
velours. both plain and striped takes
a prominent place. Wool eponge Is
to be much worn too. and, for hand
some suits silk is greatly liked. moire
finished, ribbed and the poplin weaves
that have become such an established
favorites.
For the medium size. the coat will
require 3-S yards of material 27,
2 ga yards 80 or 2 3-S yards A inches
wide. with 3-S yard q inches wide for
the trimming.

No one to take your hand and hold it

No one TO pity, no one to caress,
None to speak tender word, none to

None to care if you should live, none if

None to listen to your plea, none to hear

No one brings you Just a flower, gath

No one to shed a tear, when your life is
