THE NEW COUET HOUSE.
The roadera of the BEE have already been
furnished in these columns with a thorough
description of the now court house. In this
connection , however , a brief resume ofita
new features will not be ill-timed :
The court house was commenced in May ,
1682 , E. E , Meyers , Detroit , Mich. , being
the architect , and J , F. Coots superintendent
of the buildingTha structure , Including fur
niture and retaining wall , has cost the people
§ 245,369 74. Ot this amount 5120,309.71
has baen already paid , leaving $125,000 yet
to be disbursed. This sum has been provided
for by the issue of bonds of S125COO , bearing
C per cent interest.
The building is of the massive classical
style , 120x137 feet in size , there being eight
stories , Including the basement floor and the
five stories of the tower or dome. The buildIng -
Ing is constructed entirely of Berea , O , , sand
stone , galvanized Iron , and cast iron , the
foundation being of limestone and the sills of
granite , The building Is thoroughly fire
proof , and In point of aafety from nre no
structure ever erected can surpass it. The
mam entrances are on the north and cast , and
are heavily recessed , flanked by four heavy
columns , with capitals , which support a col-
onade with a largo balcony. Entering the
building , the first floor is found to bo divided
into four sections or quarters by two corridors
riders which tun transversely north and
eouth , east and west intersecting each
other in the centre. In the northwest sec
tion of the first floor nre the recorder's office
and ihe county clerk's private and business
offices , together with n massive fire proof
vault. In the southwest quarter ia the coun
ty court room together with three smaller
ones county judge's , sheriff's , and jury
rooms. There ia also a larcro vault sixteen by
nineteen foet. In the northeast section ore
the treasurer's private and business offices ,
together with the district attorney's office ,
and a fire-proof vault. In the southeast sec
tion are the offices of the county superinten
dent of schools , private and business , and the
sffice of the county commissioners. There
are four entrances to the first floor , with ves
tibules , the entrance on the north side having
three double doors , the others being single
Leaving the first floor by tha heavy iron stair
case , in the northwest section of the second
floor , is the law library room , separated by a
small corridor from the grand jury , witness
and ladies waiting rooms. In the southwest
quarter Is the judge's chamber , to
gether with the room and vault of
the clerk of the court. In the northeast sec
tion is the largest room in the building , the
district court room 45x70 feet , into which
open , in the southeast section , the attorney's
consultation room and the judge's private
office. Qa the west side of the second floor
in the itsir-caoo loading to tbo third floor. Ia
this story all the rooms will ba lof t unfinished,1
but on the snn.o general plan as the rooms on
the first and second stories. A central shaft ,
technlolly called a wolMiolo , runs from the
Intersection of the first floor corridors clear
through to the very top of the dome.
Leaving the third story by a winding iron
stair case , ono aicenda to the first floor of the
tower. In this tower their are four storie * ,
provided with balustrades ornamented with
massive iron columns of the Corinthian pattern -
torn which are topped with elaborate frieze
and architrave.
The fourth and last story of the tower Is
very small , On each of the four aides are
placed the glass dials , five feet in diameter , of
the monster clock which is to bo placed at
some future day on this floor. All these
stories ore surmounted by the dome. This ,
taken m its entirety , is the most splendid
feature of the structure , being ornamented by
a series of cornices , consoles , and pediments.
The boll of the dome is an Irregular nuadrlla-
tera' , supported and ribbed by massive iron
beams and covered with zinc. Standing on a
pedestal on tlio topmost extremity is a towerIng -
Ing figure of Juttlca.with the symbolic scales
a beautiful cllmnx to this palatial structure.
The lighting of tlio Interior is effected by
largo windows placed nt regular intervals ,
surmounted by cornice and pediments of or
nate figure , Tlio roof Is of tin , On the four
aides of the roof in the center of each side
stands a largo gable , with frieze cornice and
pediment , while Grecian urns of beautiful
design are placed along the edge of tha roof.
The cornice elfects of the roof are plain but
handsome. All the galvanized iron work of
the exterior of the building has been painted
and sanded , giving the exact appearance of
stone and marble. The building is heated
by steam , and ventilated according to the
latest and most perfect plans. All partition * ,
of roof , aides and ceiling , have been thorough
ly concreted , making the structure absolutely
fire-proof ,
THE OLD ,
In this place a brief sketch of the old court
house Is given , as being apropos.
Situated in a small hollow on the corner
of Sixteenth and Farnamstreets , surrounded
by a growth of ancient foliage , stands the old
court house of Douglas county. Aged and
Infirm , uwnyinp and creaking before e\ery on
slaught of the rustling wind , the old house la
In tha last stages of dissolution. Erected in
the pioneer days of Omaha and reaching
nack to the early period of territorial history ,
to rrplete with tha int"restli > g and amnilug ,
the old courthouse might ba made the brolliio
source ot many an article of interesting ro-
ulnlience.
The structure is now being torn down ta
aiaVe way for n new and modern bnildincr ,
md before many weeks shall have passed will
b ono of the land tturks swept away by the
rapid advanca of civilization.
The brief stretch could be supplemented to
an unlimited extent by the detailing
ot varied rominticoncoa connected with the
oldlhonso , Hut tha inex > rab'o law * of time *
n d space will permit only the briefest reference -
enco to the various phases of storied lore
which arr connected with the building.
The court houio was erected In the year
1859 by the pioneers of the county , who
thought that the growing demands of the city
and county called for some such efllciat centre.
Ia the spring of 1857 the city conncll deed
ed to the city , "In the consideration of the
sum of 81.00 , " A block then known as 'Was-
Ington tquaro , bonndcd by Fifteenth and Six
teenth and Farnam and Douglas streets. All
of the lot * , with the exception of those occu
pied by the building , were sold. The pro
ceeds were applied to the erection of the court
houso. James E. Boyd secured the contract
for the building. The brick work was done
by Armstrong & Bovey , while John Davis
did the carpenter work. The structure was
finally completed In 1859. Btnco that time It
has been occupied by the county officer * , the
district court , police authorities , cto. It has
been repaired many , many time ? , nnd still
stands , as ono of the old landmarks of planner
days.
days.Tho old court house has been the scene In
early days of many an exciting opisodo. In
1801 Bouvo and Her , two desperadoes , were
nrrottcd for attempting to outrage a Mrs.
Taylor , living near the military bridge , nnd
for plundorlnp her house. Public sentiment
ran high against such lawless deeds and ono
night before Bonvo had been accorded a trial
a body of citizens broke Into his cell , took
him out and hung him to n beam in the entry
hall. Ho died "game , " and would make
wmfession of his crime.
Lynch law seems to have boon greatly in
favor , In the toriltorlal days , and n stillenrjioc
lynching occurred. In tha month of March ,
1858 , two men , liradcu and Daly , were incar
cerated in the city jail for horse stalling.
Citizens broke Into the sheriff's oflico in the
court house , which was then nearing completion
tion , and seizing the keys , unlocked the cell
in which the two culprits had bonn placed.
The two wretched men were then driven rapIdly -
Idly nway In n northern direction , and the
next morning their lifeless bodies were discov
ered hanging to n tree situated two miles north
of Florence on the main road.
Ono of the most exciting scenes over wit
nessed around the old court house was In the
month of Juno , 1870 , when Barney Doran
was Incarcerated in the city jail. Doran was
the murderer of Constable Jerry McShaue.
Ho was guilty of the crime of adultery , and a
warrant for his nrroat was placed In Mr-
Sbnno's hands. When brought to bay and
ordered to give himself up for arrest , Doran
diow out a long knlfo , and made a number of
desperate lunges at his captors. Lawyer
Thomas Mulcahey was with McShano at the
time , and was dangerously stabbed in the
breast , McShano , however , was more seri
ously injured. Ho wag stabbed in the riftht
temple by Doran , and shortly afterward died.
Doran was immediately arrested and placed
in the city jail , During the day , and most of
the night , the court house ana jail were be
sieged by a crowd of men determined to lynch
the murderer. All day long the masses of the
anpiy and oxcltod populace surged back nnd
forth , In front of the building , devising ways
and means to effect the plan of dealing out
summary justice to the offender. By the
reatloes vigilance of the authorities , however ,
the schema was thwarted. Doran was tried
and given ten years in the penitentiary. Ho
had been but a low months in the penitentiary
when ho managed to break out , nnd ho has
never been seen since.
The district court rooms up-stairs also fur
nished the people of Omaha lu the early days
with a theatre rude to bo sure , but perfectly
adapted to the wants of the amusement lov
ing public. The chairs were properly rearranged
ranged , while the platform , n very small
affair was fitted with a drop cut tain in the
Rhnpo of bed blankets sewed together. The
scenery waa painted on bed sheets. It is said
that one of the first stars that held the boards
of this remarkable theatre was little Kay Tern-
pletan , accompanied .by her father and
mother , who wore traveling around the coun
try giving variety performances ,
In early days the court house was the scene
of much social festivity. In the old district
court room the great balls and parties were
held always well attended and always en
joyed.
From this brief , hasty and necessarily in
complete sketch , it will be seen to what an
extent the old court house figures in the early
history of Omaha. The ancient structure has
long lived and served , bnt the "day of Us
dissolution is now at hand. " Erected at a
time when the city of Omaha was In her beginning -
ginning , it is crumbling to decay when the
period of her gruatness is dawning.
THE FEATHERED SONGSTER
And Hid Enemy , tlio Small Boy An
Unheeded Ordinance.
"Why don't the BEE call the attention of
its readers to the depredations which the boys
ore creating in the way of killing birds and
robbing bird nests In different parts of the
city ? " asked an official of a reporter to-day.
"You hate no idea , " he continued , ' to what
extent this malicious and worse than uiolosj
practice Is being carried on. Private grounds
are invaded by those ruthless youngsters who
not only rob the homos of the f eithorod song
sters , but kill the birds themselves , for no other
purpose than of furnishing a temporary pleas
ure , cruel and depraving in its nature , Some
thing ought to be done , or tha birds will bo
driven from our parks and the priyato
grounds where heretofore they have enjoyed
the blessings of Immunity from the attacks of
the wicked small boy. "
The city council about this time , three years
ago , passed an ordinance providing a penalty
for offenses of this class. It was passed on
account of tbo urgent demands of the citizens
who requested that steps be taken at once to
remedy the evil , For the benefit of those
Interested it is in the main reproduced :
"It shall ba unlawful for any ; person to
ciuelly , inhumanly , or unnecessarily kill , tor
ture , injure , or in any way interfere or tor
ment any birds of the insectivorous order ,
having and making their abode within the
city limits of Omaha , or interfering In any
manner with their nest , or destroying the
same , or stealing any eggs that may ba found
therein , or destroying or interfering witlutho
same.
Any persons violating the provisions of the
the above section , ( hall , upon conviction
thereof , be fined in ft sum not less than $5 or
moro than $25 , and for asecond _ or subsequent
violation thereof , in addition to fine , such per
ron may be imprisoned not to exceed thirty
days.

BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.
A. Diamond Bc rf I'ln.
A Rood story is told on a certain well known
clothing merchant on lower Farnikm itrcat. It
Is rather too lich to keep , It appear * trut
the gentleman , who Is ( In his own opinion ) n
iplcndld judge of the crystal gem , sawn
bcaullfnl little diamond in ft charming setting
of golden bric-brac , K scarf plnof mo beauty.
The jewel was In the possession of a Tenth
street harbor , Mnurtco Hobsllng. The cloth
ing merchant , without any Bolicltntlon on the
part of the owner of the beautiful Itttlo gem ,
remarked that ho thought ho should like to
buy It was positive that It waa a pure dia
mond. However , before ho mndo Iho pur
chase , ho would like to apply an Infallible
test that of dropping the stone Into A glass
of water nd noting tha divergence of
the scintillating rays. The glass of
water was procured nnd the test proved per
fectly satisfactory. The diamond pin WAS
immediately purchased for n good round sum
by the merchant , Mr , lloboling declining to
say anything about the value of the jewel or
the propriety of the bargain. The now owner
at once took the gem to an tip-town jeweler
who pronounced it a two-for-a-ccnt glass
pin , with n cheap brass sottlug. Mich as
fresco the bosom front of the habitual pop
corn eater ,
It has cost the vendor of coats , pants , nnd
voata about ton dollars to date in the way of
drinks in endeavoring to "suppress" the tale
of his "diamond pin. "

A Suspect Arrested.
Tuesday afternoon Officer Turnbull ar
rested Charles Pitta , n , colored man , resident
on Eighteenth and Cuming streets , upon sus
picion of being the man who stole $100 from
Fiold& Farnsworth Monday afternoon ,
It seems that ho found some money
near the sill of his back door
stop , and has been spending it
quite freely of late. Moreover ho has boon
telling conlltctlng stories as to how the money
came there , nnd as to the _ amo.unt.
A piece of panor. containing a1
cash memorandum which had been in the
safe of the drug store , was oho found in
Pitt's coal bin. Those circumstances , com
bined with others , load Officer Turnbull , who
has been working upon the cnso since the
commission of the crime to bsllavo that ho
has the right man , The hearing Is sot for to
day.
$ T The Itoynl Bfikiug Powder possesos n peculiar merit that is not pos J
sessed by any oilier leavening ngont , It provides broadj biscuit , cnke ,
muffins , or rolls which may bo cnton when hot without inconvenience
by persons of the mostdelicnto digestive organs. With mojt persons it
is necessary that bread raised with yoaat should lese its freshness or be
come stale before it can bs eaten with safety. The same distressing ro-
ults fol low from eating biscuit , cake , pastry , etc. , raised by the cheap
inferior baking powders that contain lime , alum or other adulterants
The hot roll and muffin aid the delicious hot griddle cakos. raised by
Royal Baking Powder , are as wholesome and digestible ns warm soup ,
moat , or any other food.
Another greatly superior quality possessed by the Koyal Baking pow
der is that by which the preservation of important elements of the Hour
is efl'ected in raising the bread by the mechanical operation of the gas
without fermentation. Yeast , and all baking powders that produce the
leavening gas by fermentation , as is well known , destroy n portion of
she nutritive elements of the flour , nud particularly those which arc the
most healthful and the greatest aids to a perfect assimilation of the
food. The Royal Baking Powder , while perfectly leavening , retains
without change or impairment all those elements which were intended
by nature , when combined in our bread , to make it literally the ' 'stolT of
life. "
No leavening apont ; or bailing powder , except the Eoyal Baking Pow
der , possesses these great qualifications.
