Those who have met Charles II.

remarked the unusually pleasant
appearance of this gentleman and he
has a good cause for the joy that he
is showing, as on Saturday the stork

Wallace Warner and left with them
a fine eight pound boy who has been
named Charles Harry Warner so that
the event has been doubly pleasant
to Charley Sr., in having the new

From Wednesday's T'ally.
The Cass county court house
which has for several years been bad
ly in ne,cd of repair is at last to have
the proper attention given to the
roof of the building and be put in
proper shape so as to save the coun
ty taxpayers the expenditure of a
great deal of money.
The roof of the building has been
in had shape for a b ug period of
years and the breaking of the cop
per flushing caused the water to seep
into the intirior of the roof and
which has finally nsulted in the rot
tening away of the ends of the beams
that support the ceilings of the
rooms below and as a result the plas
tering in the large district court
room has fallen in a large sort ion
and more will follow if the damage
to the building is not r paired at
once.
The best method of doing this has
been considered bv the board of com
missioners and in order to more ful
ly cope wmi i in- mailer me noant se
cured the firm of Burlinghoff & Davis
of Lincoln, on.- of the loading firms
of architects of the state, to take up
the matter and tive the board the
benefit of their expert advice. Mr.
(J. A. I.urlin-.'hnf:" came down from
Lincoln this morning and with the
board of i-omii: issioncrs made a per
sonal inspection f the damaged
portion of the building.
It has bceti thought that perhaps
the repair of the rotten trusses and
the removal of the heavy tiled ceil
ing which weighs 50.000 pounds and
replacing it with a steel ceiling
might eliminate the danger, to the
building.. Mr. r.urlinghofi" after an
inspection of the building recom
mended the placing of a new steel
truss in the portion of the building
occupied by the court room that
would strengthen tile protecting
trusses now holding up the roof and
which would permit the repair of
the rotted wooden trusses. lie was
also of the opinion that the easiest
and cheapest way to permanently
remedy the trouble would be the use
of the truss and the replasf ering of
the room that would do away with
the necessity of the removal of the
heavy tiling on the ceiling which
would cost quite a large sum and
not be as satisfactory as the reten
tion of the fire proof tiling.
The board has decided to take the
necessary steps to keep up the pro
perty of the county and work will
be taken up as soon as the plan
of the architect are fully made. The
present board of commissioners rec
ognizes the necessity for action that
should have been made many year;:
ago by other county boards but. the
burden has been passed on until the
necessity of making tho repairs to
save many thousands of dollars has
been acted on by the present board.
