NEWmgOURTsHOUSE DOPE.

NEWsooURFHoUsE DOPE,
Ohm Lang, the. genial. and accommodating Register Of
Deeds, has become So accustomed to cramped quarters, that
when he moves into the large and expansive offices at the new
court house, he will carry a spool of thread with him to find
his way out. He got the idea from reading how Iheseus
found his way out Of the Labyrinth after Staying the Mino-
taur, @
Mich. Thomey is diligently p~racticing reducing exercises.
Those big columns in front of the new court house are rather
near together, and he does not want TO take any chances at
getting stuck between them.
vs. Judge Himsl is quoted as saying that he proposes to
wear a Wig when he sits in the probate court in the new court
house, and that he expects the lawyers. appearing before him
to wear gowns. IF we may be so bold as tosyenture a sug-
gestion, Judge, we would humbly propose that.he give that
wig to Jake Lahr, who needs it more.
3 ] Treasurer Kost has been seen proWaing around the cor
sridors in the new court house that leads to the office Of the
Clerk Of Court. Well, the clerk has laid in a new supply of
marriage license blanks.
1t is. rumored that the new County Attorney has pro
tested that there are not enough mirrors in the offices set
apart for him at the new court house. Commissioner Lair
promptly called Architect Day into conference and the
omission will be corrected without delay.
The Ssbunch'' at the new court house will sadly miss the
CHEEKY presence Of Mrs. Limperich, the efficient deputy clerk
Of court. The widows receiving county aid loved her for her
kindly advice, assistance and sympathy.
Frank Bettenburg, the softest-hearted deputy sheriff
in the United States, will have time to dry his tears when he
leads a poor prisoner through the long underground corridor
to the stern bar Of justice.
There is a strong movement on foot TO form an orchestra
in the new court house. Bill Boerger, who has been blowing
his own horn for so long, is expected to. play the bass tuba,
John Dominic. the tremolo flute, and Sheriff Schooner that
blamed instrument that you can push long and pull short.
The other Instruments will be taken overly some Of the nois-
lest Of the deputies, Ray Bruning being assured Of. one Of the
most prominent places.
Jim Quigley, on account Of his graceful gestures when
making a speech, has agreed upon as the wieder Of the
baton. Art. German, who is reputed to be making a lot of
money in his court-reporting, will be the angel for the ag-
gregation, and be responsible for the bills.
Jake Lahr, the veteran clerk Of the probate court. He is SO
systematic and %methodical that it is hoped that he can keep
track of all the false notes, as the members are to be graded
accordingly. He has expressed some doubts about his ability
to keep score on Meinz and Kruchten, but has. been offered
the use> Of an adding machine by Auditor Thomey, and in
that way may be able to keep the record. 1t is expected to
give the first concert atthe opening Of The court on January
second. In case there should be too largea crowd Of spectators
the concert would undoubtedly clear the courtroom very
speedily.
sion, considerably more than less. The practice will be carried
on in the jail, as Janitor Lengas has ruled that that is where
the crowd belongs while committing assault and battery on
the instruments that were originally constructed to be musical
IF handled properly.
