THE HEW CASS COUNTY ARY COMPLETED Tho County Commissioners Visit the Farm and Inspect the New Buildings. Tiie . county commissioners yesterday visited I lie new county building' on the farm west of this city, which is now rea'dy for oc cupancy, and as a result of their trip were greatly pleased with the condition of affairs there. The new building is being moved into by Superintendent George Tains and family and in a short time they will be settled in the new quarters in the new build ing and the task of placing the inmates at the farm will be com menced. The building is a splendid appearing structure from the exterior, and the archi tect, Mr. Lawrie, has made the plans so as to make it strictly up-to-date and constructed along lines that will give the greatest ease in handling the old people who make their home there, and no detail ha? been overlooked that will serve to make the build ing modern in every respect. Throughout the building' everything lias been made in a simple and sanitary style that makes the structure an ideal one for the purpose that it is intend ed. A system of ventilators in the different rooms will make the sleeping quarters in the building much more sanitary than the obi ont's in the building that former ly occupied the site of the new structure. The building is equip ped in line shape for the handling of the work, in the kitchen ami laundry rooms, as in the laundry stationary wash tubs connected with both hot and cold water, have been placed to allow the handling of the work, and the kitchen, too, is fitted up in a spbndiI manner that will make the work there a pleasure. In each room on the first and sec ond floor there are ample closets and finely equipped bath rooms and toilet rooms, which are also one of the great improvements over the old building and tliey are so situated as to be of easy access to the old people. The lighting system of the building is another point that deserves a great deal of praise, as the lights are all of the latest type of ceil ing lights and they are ample to suit the needs of the family of the superintendent and the in mates. Take it all over the building is a luinhty fine structure and the contractor, Mr. Hedding, has given the county a fine building that they ran be proud of, and tin commissioners are deserving of much credit for having se cured it at such a low price. Play at the K. S. Hall. The ohemian Catholic Dra matic club has made arrange ments to give another of their pleasant dramatic offerings at the K. S. hall on Saturday even ing. April 25, and are making every arrangement ' make the eent one of the most pleasant e-r gi-n by the society.

THE LAST IN THE FAMOUS BRIDGE CASE BETWEEN SARPY ANO CASS COUNTIES What will probably be the last chapter in the famous Louisville bridge case between Cass and Sarpy counties was enacted yes terday afternoon when the board of county commissioners received a warrant for s'HUi, representing the interest on the principal of S3, 000 which was assessed against Sarpy county as their part of the case, which they lost in the supreme court of the state. This case occupied the attention of the district curt of Sarpy county ami the .stale supreme court, being tried before that body several times and remanded, but the court finally found for Cass county and awarded them judgment for the amount prayed for, with interest. The lawsuit arose over a bridge at Louisville which this county was forced to maintain entirely, as Sarpy coun ty refused to contribute a cent toward its maintance. The bridge has long since yielded to the elements and been washed away.
