COURTHOUSE REPAIRS.
Considerable Progress Made During
Week.

Considerable progress was made
this week in the repair work on the
courthouse. Skaters have been at
work repacing the broken states on
the roof with new ones; timers are
putting in new guttering and piping,
painters have begun the painting Of
chimney tops, and glazers are re-
pairing the sash and removing broken
glasses and installing new ones in
their places. The partitions in the
ladies waiting room and the two pri-
vate rooms in the rear of the sheriff S
room are nearing completion and
the plastering material is on hand
ready to be applied. The small bal
cony in bfront of the building, on
7tla oraaf has
moved and windows to match the
others will be substituted for the
doors leading thereto. J. L. Messina,
who has the contract for this work
is on the job constantly and is con-
, tident of being able to finish the work
within contract time.
The work on the construction OF
the new vault has also been begun
The large cistern which was in the
way has been removed and the nee.
essary excavations completed anc
frames laid for the concrete founda-
ton; but owing to the congested con,
ditlon of railway transportation, con.
siderable difficulty is being experien
ced in obtaining gravel and other ma.
teral necessary for concreting. How.
ever, Mr.. J. I. Landaiche, who has
the contract for the building of the
vault, is hopeful of obtaining the ma
terial in the course Of few days
and when this is on the ground con
struction work will be pushed for
ward with the greatest expedition
In the meantime, due to the work
going on, things are very much upset
IN every room in the courthouse and
will continue so until the completion
| of the work.

A TIMELY WARMING.

In the press reports Of todav it
is stated that the Allies have at last
sent 4 atearn warning to Germany, de-
mandlng that that country quit hint
ing at war and to refrain from COM
menting on all questions concerning
the withdrawal Of the military com
mission in Germany. The Allies also
demand apology and reparations for
recent incidents at Passau and Stet-
tin, and warn the Germans that the
manufacture Of new war inventions
will not be permitted.
The Allies have been patient. very
patlen, and because of this patience
the Germans have become arrogant
and insolent. The warning sent to
them by the Allies may be needed by
the Berlin government, but if not the
Allies should at once use harsher
means to enforce their demands.
. In requesting an immediate reply
to then note tie A lies say their pa-
t'ence Is about exhausted. Germany
may learn that ''Patience sometimes
ceases to be a virtue," and if that
country continues its insolent policy
1t may find itself again bound tight
and fast by military occupation. not
only along the Rhine, but in Berlin.
