Many who before voted against the
building of a now court house now sa ;
lint they will vote for it , provided tha
norno assurance will bo given that the
final cost will not exceed the orlglna
appropriation of not inoro than $150-
000. It Is safe to say that tha present
county board , with its well known [ con
sorvalivo policy and careful mrnagomont ,
rrill adopt only such plans and make
such contracts an are within the amount
voted by the people , and the people
generally have sudicioni confidoncd in the
board to rest assured of this fact. As
to future boards the people have the
matter in their own hands. Lot them

tainly they ought to elect uono others.

A FATAL WRECK.
Another Aretolcc ! Gira his Opinion of
liic Old Bnilfling ,
Proposals From TlionoVIIIhiK to
Runt to tlio County.
The county board mot again yesterday
morning and talked over the court house ,
and its crumbled condition. Contractor
Murphy was outside superintending the
work of prouping up the walla with tola-
graph poles , while a number of citizens
from various parts of the county were
strolling about inspecting the building
and chatting with the supervisors. Tliroo
remonstrances were presented to the
board , urging the body not to call
another special election , but to repair
the old building oa well as possible.
Those remonstrances were signed In all
by 150 names , not a very heavy showing
certainly.
In response to the request of the board
Mr. George R. Mann , the St. Joe archi
tect , was present tp inspect the building.
Mr. Mann's opinion haa special weight
not only because ho is a non-resident , but
were because of his high rank in his pro
fession. no haa auporintondod the erec
tion of Havorly'a theatre in Chicago , the
Paxton house in Omaha , the union depot
at St. Joe , costing § 150,000 , and that at
nannibal , costing over § 100,000 ; the
'
court house and jail'at Marysvlllo , Mo. ,
the court house at Rockport , Mo. , that
at Albany , Mo. , and at Sit. Ayr , Iowa ,
besides the now board of trade building
and other largo buildings In St. Joo.
Mr. Mann'a opinion of the old court
house woo freely and frankly given , it
being that the building was In a danger
ous condition and liable to fall , llo ad
vised the board t'o vacate It. The
trouble , in his opinion , was with the
foundations , which troro giving away at
both the east and west undo , and it was
not practical to attempt to bruoo it up
for any great length of time.
A number of proposals wore received
by the board from these willing
to furnish temporary rooms for
court and county purposes , until a new
court house could bo built. Mr. Dohany
oflbrod the third Door of his opera house
building , with five rooms on the second
floor , for ofticoa , at $1200 a year. An
other proposition was to use Bono's hall
for a court loom , with two rooms below
for iurloi , an ollico In Burnham , 'fully &
Go. 0 building for recorder , ouo in the
basement of Shugart's block for treasur
er , another ono in the basement also for
auditor , and the room in the roar of
Odoll & Day's ofllco for sheriff , the whole
rental to bo $1800 a year , Still another
oiler Trim to use the Masonic hall and the
first tloor of the building , the hall to to
used only during the day time , and the
whole to bo heated by steam , the lease to
run two years at $3,000 n year.
Mr. L , Horace Everett also called the
attention of the board to his stores on
earl street and otlior rooms suitable to
county purposes.
In the afternoon the following report
was presented to the board , but all fur-
, her action was pootponod until this
norning : -
To the honorable , the county board of
uporviiors of Pottowattamle county.
In compliance with your request 1 have
; lvun your court house building a thor-
ugh examination , and I unhesitatingly
ironounco it unsafe. 1 find that the side
nd roar walla have spread until thuy
lave forced the anchor plats from the
anchors , and that the second story joists
uro entirely out of the second story
walls , and only rest on a narrow ledge at
ho top of the first story wall ,
These walls are now sprung so badly ,
and the joists have sagged to such on
extent that the joists are now acting as
lovers , exerting themselves to throw the
walls farther apart. *
The building can possibly bo made to
land for some llttlo time by means of
props , but the remedy will only bo tem
porary na the props will soon sag , thus
allowing the walls to again move out , and
the movement only nuodu to bo small to
lot the second story joist fall.
I have boon asked by your honorable
body , If it was possible to remodel the
building so as to make It safe. While
possible , it Is not practicable , ns the
fault lien entirely hi the foundation , and
to take out the old foundation and re
build ono sufficient to support 'tho super
structure would cost more than to build
n now house equally as good as the old
ono wus when now.
I find that your vaults are so badly
cracked that should your building burn
thuy would nflbrd you no protootion but
would rather act as a furnace with your
books and papurs as fool ,
1 hardly deem it necessary to make a
raoro detailed report , as the matter can
ba summed up as follows : ,
First The building as it now stands la
unsafe and those In it remain at a aerioui
risk to their Hues.
Second It cannot bo made safe , ex
cept temporarily , without spending more
than it would cost to remove the present
building and build a now ouo that would
answer the purpose nf the county muoli
bettor than the old ono ,
Respectfully submitted.

"Lovo and Law , " a well-wrought rnolo
drama , is now current at the Fourteenth
Street Theatre. Mr. Milton Nobles i
the author of this play , and ho acts in it
as the here , Felix O'RfifT , an Irishman ,
and , it is noodlota to add , a universal
genius. * * The scene of the play la
laid in Now York , and it contains in its
last act n surprisingly iflVctivn situation ,
the burden of which is skillfully bnrno
by Mr. Nobles. N. Y. Times , April 2. ,
1881.
1881.Tho Denver Tribune-Republican ol
Decembers , says of "Lovo nnd law : "
"Lovo and Law" is superior to any of
the Loi'.don melodramas which have
scored Btich tremendous success during
the past four or five years , and , by add
ing spectacular effects lo its production , it
could bo made still rnoro entertaining
than it is. The play is Intensely dramat
ic nnd sensational and yet it Is kept neil
In hand , and the situations are all within
the legitimate bounds of the story and Its
natural nurroundlnps. It ia > i bettor play
than "Tho Streets of Now York , "
which had n famous run some years ago ,
and IK ft Hog n til or ono of the best Ameri
can molodranwB wo havo. It la well
balanced and is cleverly gndod to the
climax.
The nuppoiUng company is In ovcry
respect excellent. Wo congratulate Mr.
Noblea upon his success. Ho dosrvcs it
the more because ho has forced recogni
tion from n part of tha publifi which hnd
looked with disfavor upon his work for
years ,
