BROUGHT TO GRIEF AT LAST jcouoraical Scheme of County Commissioners Ends in Confusion. DOUGLAS ADDITION SALE DECLARED VOID /oininUslonnrs Sold Ilio l.otn and Ilullt the County Hospital with the Proceedi Now they Must Kefiind the Money. The county of Douglas wakes up this uornlng to the full realization that it has large-sized debt on Its hands , one that it upK | > sed would never bo incurred. Some years ngo when the question of mllding a county hospital was being agl- ated the county was the owner of a largo root of land that is now known as "Douglas addition , " being located a short distance vest of Ilanscom park. The boom was on , ind a happy thought struck the coinmis- toners , who were then looking after the velfare of the county. They would plat the and into lots and have an auction salo. Vith this Idea in view , they made the fall election of 18SU carry along with it a propo- ition to offnr the laud for sale. Other mat ers attracting the attention of the voters , only a small proportion of them paid any bought to the proposition to sell. A major- ty of the voters failed to cast their ballots 'or the proposition , and the scheme foil through. There the matter rested until the spring of 1837 , when the county commissioners or dered u special election to carry out the deas originated the fall before. At the pring election there was no other subject up for consideration and the proposition to sell received nearly every vote that was cast. \ilvertlsomcnts were inserted in the dally lapors n I when the sale took place It was ; uo talk o the entire country. There wai a jand to usL'ourso sweet mush ; and a barbe cued ox tJ sitisfy the cravings of the inner So the Lots Sold Mcely. This condition of affairs continued for several days , during all of which tlmo the selling of lots went merrily on , some of the purchasers paying cash In full , while others bought upon the Installment plan that were kown to the real estate men of the town. At last the sale was over and the county commissioners discovered that they had disposed of 21.1 lots und had gathered something like r > 0 , )0 ) into the treasury. With this money the construction of the hospital was commenced , nnd as far as the history of that institution is concerned it Is familiar. A couple of years ago there were many of the lot purchasers who concluded that they had paid dearly for the whistle aud at once they began casting about for a way out of a bad Job. Some of them deeded back to the county anil lost what they had paid in ; others paid up the interest and secured an extension , but there were some who thought that the bolter way was to go Into the courts and light the thing to a finish. Among these who were of this opinion , Charles B. Keller und ex-Judge Doano floured. They hold that the sale was Illegal and void for Iho reason that there was no. authority of law for the ordering of the second election , authorizing the sate of the lots , Took Tholr Bargains Into Court. Aftir that a large number of the pur chasers Jumped into the legal arena , al agree ng to stand by the decision In the Keller lor and Doano case , Several months ago the Issues were Joined and the case was argued buforo Judge Davis , cJt-County Attorney Mahoney appearing for the county. The ar guments consumed the time of the court for nearly a week , nnd then the case was takoi under advisement , where it remained untl yesierday , when Judge Davis handed dowi his opinion , holding that the election wa void and that lYio title to the property nove May Sale in Wash Fa brics Hot the Ex traordinary Value. 20 pieces Domestic Gingham , regular l"je and Ific , now " > e. lo pieces fast Jlliack Chevrons , cheap at H3c , now lllje , 25 pieces Fancy and Black Saloon , worth i2. c nnd , ' ! 0c , now loc. !

The decision applies to all of the lols sold at either public or private sale. Uy the terms of Iho decision the county is re quired to rufund the purchase price and in terest in all cases where a demand for the return of the money has been made. Individually the members of the county board oppose the return of the money until Iho higher court has passed upon all of Iho questions. If they did not want to carry Iho suit to the supreme court , they say that it would bo impossible to make the payments now , as all of the money arising from the sale of the lots has been disposed of , having boon put into the hospital and Is beyond Iheir reach.

Spent $100 In DruBclita nnd Doctor- . Completely Cured in Ono Month by CUTICUHA. HKMKDIKS ut Cant of 83.00. Now n Strong , Uosltliy , ITiUl-tVelght Chilli , fjeo Portrait. When my little girl was one month old , she had a scab form on her face nnd it kept spreading until she was completely covered from head lo foot. We doclored for it , bul she did not improve , and finally the scab started to fall off , and then she had boili. She had a- man/ as forty on her head al one time , nnd as many more on her body. After a boil would break the scab would form again. When she was six months old she did not weigh seven pounds , a pound and a half less lhan she did when she was born , and her slun started to dry up and got so bad that she could not shul her eyes to sleep , but laid with them half open. About this time , al the earnest request of friends , I started using the CUTICURA Remedies , and i one month she war ( oiHptclely tiireJ. The scab and boil * were entirely gone and she slepl and ate like another baby. The doctor and drug bill were over one hundred dollars , the Cuticura bill was not more than Jive dollars. My child is now two years old , and is as strong and healthy as any child of her age , and I can truthfully say it is all owing to the CUTICURA REMEDIES. See photograph inclosed. I will willingly write to any mother whose child has skin disease , giving full particulars of how I used them. Yours with a Mother's Dlessing , MKS. GliO. II.
