An Ontsldc Opinion.
"To tho porson who ever visited the
Lincoln county court houso," snys the
Kearney Democrat, "It certainly ap
pears that the county outgrow tho
present structuro several years ago.
If tho peoplo of that county value
their records, no better move can be
made than to provide some means for.
now building, and do it quick."

.TWINE3I 1VILL ERECT
TIIItEE STOIIY BUILDING
W. V. lloagland, A. J. Salisbury and
L. B. Dick, joint owners of tho 66x132
corner tract north of tho fedoral bulld-
lng, sold tho property Wednesday to
Dr J. S. Twlnem for a consideration
of $13,800. Tho said was made through
tho H. & S. Agoncy.
It Is tho Intention of Dr. Twlnem to
erect a three story building, tho first
floor to bo used for business houses,
tho second for offices and tho third
floor for hospital purposes. The
Twlnem hospital on west Fourth
street Is too small for tho constantly
Increasing business and larger quar
ters aro a necessity. Dr. Twlnem has
solved tho latter problem by purchas
ing the tract and using tho third floor
of the proposed building for hospital
purposes. With a floor area of 66x132
feet amplo provision can be made for
a modorn hospital of sufficient size
to accommodate the needs for some
tlmo to come.
The erection of the Twlnem build
ing will bo a distinct Improvement, to
tho business district of the city, and
will occupy a corner that is certain,
as tho city grows, to bocomo tho cen
ter of the business (district.
