COUNTY BOARD AT LAST ONE
Members Finally Discover Something
a Which They Can Agree. De
mand for Court House.
Commissioners Ti'inor and Bruning re
turned Thursday morning from Minnea
polis, where they examined the court
houses in the Twin Cities In order to get
new Ideas for the proposed Douglas county
building. .'
"Douglas county is certainly behind the
times In Its public buildings as compared
with Minneapolis and 8t. Paul," declared
Mr. Tralnor. "Both cities have beautiful
buildings, but they are larger than we
would care for. In some respects they are
111 arranged and our plans are belter than
theirs In some particulars."
Bruning returned with. the belief that it
would be hotter to build a separate Jail
building than to place the Jail on top of the
court house, as contemplated In the plans.
The Jail and court house are separate at
8t. Paul, and the authorities are talking
about constructing a tunnel from one to the
other.

NEW PARK BOARD BY COURT
District Judges Decide to Appoint An
other City Commission.
MAY BE THE PRESENT MEMBERS
Heturn to the Old System J. Y
Crala;. Who Ha Moved Oat of
Limits of the City, May
Be F.xcepted.
The district Judges have decided to ap
point a full and complete new Park board
undiT the power conferred by the city
churter, to take the place of the present
board appointed by the mayor and city
council.
The Judges made this announcement
Thursday morning after a number of con
ferences. The appointments under the law
must be made the second Tuesday In May,
which this year will come on May 12. It
Is believed that the decision of the Judges
to exercise this power will result in a suit
to determine their right to do so. The Judges
have not determined yet who will bo ap
pointed, but in order to prevent a long
legal fight It is hinted they may appoint the
present members, with one possible ex
ception. As the two boards would be com
posed of the same members the chances
for a legal fight would be small.
The single exception is J, Y. Craig, who,
it Is said, has forfeited his right to mem
bership on the board by removing his resi
dence outside the city limits to near Forest
Lawn cemetery, of which he Is superin
tendent. The law provides the members
shall be resident freeholders of the city. If
sll the other present members were reap
pointed they would not be in a position to
contest their own rights under the ap
pointment. ,
Return to Old System.
The action of the judges is a return to
the old system of appointing the board,
which la still in use aa to the flouth Omaha
board. For a number of years after 1889,
when the present section of the charter
was paired by the legislature, the Judges
performed the function of appointing the
park board. In June 1898, the supremo court
in the caec of the state against Frank K.
Moores decided the appointment of the po
lice board by tho governor was an unwar
rantd Interference with local self-government
and the judges acting according to
the spirit of the decision relinquished the
right to appoint the Tark board. In 1901
In the case of Redell against Moores tho
supreme court reversed Itself and upheld
the light of the governor to appoint the
police board. At that time the Judges dis
cussed the advisability of resuming the ap
pointment of the Park board, but decided
not to. Since about 1898 the mayor and
city council have been appointing, though
without authority of law, it la asserted.
The, present decision of the judges Is
based on an opinion given by Judge Red
Ick In (he suit of Wall Weber against the
city of South Omaha. In this case he held
that the appointment of the South Omaha
Tark board by the judges Is legal, the leg
islature having a right to confer that power
on the judges if it desired. Last winter a
demand was made on the Judges that they
appoint and after holding the matter in
abeyance several months they decided to
do so.

ground to the garbage company that It
might dump there, but the United States
engineer In charge, has stopped the dump
ing of garbage or earth at the foot of
Jones treet, and at the present iime the
land is idle.
"If tho harbor line Is established some
thirty to forty feet from the present bank
of the river and a wan built, the docks
would be given that much more ground
within a year, as the whole front behind
the wall would be filled within a Rhort
time with earth, garbage, brick, iron and
other materials, which would make a. solid
! foundation. This would give a dock some
seventy-five feet wide by 0 feet long, and
wagons could easily reach the steamboats."
The attitude of Mr. Reed in the matter
Is to encourage the building of docks and
the opening of the river, and ho is holding
the land for the purpose of giving boats
an opportunity to land.

"The box of .candy was left while every

SEED OF SEW COURT IIOISE
What the Last Grand Jury Reported
on This Subject.
PRESENT BUILDING OUTGROWN
i
t twenty Jail Itrmaads
Itrllrf Contemplated
Immediate
r I'rnponfil Honda for Com
blned (oart House and Jail.
"The people who are to vote on the court
houso bonds next Tuesday oimht to he
Impressed with the urgent need of now
court house facilities," declared one of the
Judges of the district court. "The last
grand jury report went into this quite fully,
although It did not put It strong enough.
Conceding that the bonds will be voted now,
to have a new court house ready for oc
cupancy, will take at least three year?.
That means that at tho earliest we could
not get into our new building before 1911,
and at our normal rate of growth, we would
by that time be unable to do anything
(satisfactory In the present building, that
has teon doing service for more than
twenty-five years. Just hunt up that grand
Jury report and let tho people read It
again."
The last grand Jury made two reports,
both cf which are on file in the district
court clerk's office, signed by W. H. Crary,
foreman, and till the other grand Jurors.
The parts relating to the court house situa
tion nre s follows:
l'resent Facilities Inadequate.
'Having merely called attention to a
few of the bad conditions existing In the
county court house, and believing that the
county and city should lead In public im
provements rather than follow private en
terprise, recognizing that the present court
house is scarcely large enough for a county
of one-fourth the T'opnlatlun of Douglas
county, and that the growing population
of tho county must of necessity greatly
increase the business, and if action is taken
now looking to tho changing of present
conditions, It will probably take four years
before a new building can be completed.
"The suggestion has been mado that It
would bo w!9e to sell the present site be
cause it Is valuable. IT It is desiraoie
enough for a, syndicate of half a dozen
men to own, we do not believe it is too
valuable for the great syndicate of Doug-'
las county to own, besides, when a new
location Is sought, property In that location
would immediately become very desirable
in the eyes of the sellers. Litigation would
naturally follow the removal from the
present site, thereby causing another delay
of perhaps four or five years, with a prob
abln relocation on the old site.
'Everyone knows that tho New York I.lfe
building, as well as others, wore located as
they are on account of the location of tho
court house, and no one with like interest
would be inclined to sit quietly by and
sec it moved elsewhere. We believe the
present location an Ideal one, good founda
tion, no slde-lilll proposition or filled ground
to contend with.
I rsres Voting: of Bonds.
"Believing that Douglas county can well
afford to hae anything it needs and wants,
and that It is with the county as with In
dividuals, there are some things that they
cannot afford to do without, we would
therefore recommend and urge that the
county board submit to the people of Dong
as county, at an early date, a bond proposi
tion looking to tho erection of a good,
modern, up-to-date court house and jail,
costing from $1,000,000 to 11.600.000. Some
thing that every citiaen can "point to with
prldo and let the people decide whether or
not they want . such a building and Im-provemenits-as
will bo a credit to our city
and give lt that momentum leading to fu
ture growth and greatness.
"The preliminary report on the Jail aftor
the personal Inspection by the grand jurors,
makes it clear that a new Jail is imperative,
and that If it were not to be provided In
connection with the proposed new court
house it would have-to be built right away
at a considerable cxpenso as a separate
institution. The grand Jury's report de
clares: "In view of the frightful conditions found
there we deem it our duty to report them
at once.
Demand For Better Jail.
"The Jail is in all respects unsanitary.
Upon entering we were greeted with a
nauseous, stifling odor that was positively
sickening. We are Informed that there is
ro remedy for this as conditions now exist.
"Wo found that it la necessary to re
quire six men to sleep m a small cell
scarcely large enough for one. We found
that there are 128 persons confined in the
jail at this time and that OiIh is far be
low the average, and yd thera Is not room
for the proper ace m mod a lion of more than
one-fifth that number: and that at times
there are as many as 1T men, women and
children crowded jv.to .'he3e miserable
quarters.
"We find that it Is freiuently necessary
to confine In onetom 10J men and boys of
all ages, conditions and color. Here are
prisoners charged with all the various
crimes from vsgrwicv to murdor; here vile
and wretched criminals, old and hardened
In the business are huddled together with
young men and toys, who are often tho
victims of misfortune rather than crime.
The result can scarcely Le imagined; much
less described.
"The Jail was erected many years ago,
at a time when the needs of Douglas county
were not one-fifth what they ars today.
"The only remedy is a new, modern Jail
building, one that Is aaniliry and can be
ventilated, one that Is largn enough, so
tnat the old and vicious criminals can be
separated from thojo young men and boys
who have taken their first step In wrong
doing. "The members of the grand Jury feel
confident that whenever the citizens of
Douglas eojnty become familiar with the
conditions heiin faintly described they
w 11 not only sanction the erection of a
new jail, but wli demand of those in au
thority that lmniedlice steps be taken to
bung this about."

ABOUT ADVERTISING NO.
. The Neighborhood of
........ . , A
Your Advertising
By HERBERT KAUFMAN.
Circulation is commodity which must he bought with th
, -
same common sense used in selecting potatoes, cloth and real
estate. It can be measured and weighed it is merchandise with
a provable value. It varies just as much as the- grocer's green
stuff, the tailor's fabrics and the lot of the real estate man;
Your cook refuses to accept green and rotten tomatoes at the
price of perfect ones. She does not count the number of vege
tables that are delivered to her, but those that she can use. When
your wife selects a piece of cloth she first makes sure, that it will
serve the purpose she has in view. When you buy. a piece of
property you consider the neighborhood as well as tlw ground.
Just so when you buy advertising you must find out how much of
the circulation you can tise. You must consider the neighbors
where your copy will be read with the same thoughtfulncss that
you devoted to selecting the 'spot where your goods arc sold.
A dealer in precious stones would be foolish to open up in u
tenement district, and equally short-sighted to tell about his jewel
ry in a newspaper largely distributed there. Out of ten thtT.sand
men and women who might see what he had tocs-ay;n.oit)('tjjtf of Jhejn
could afford to buy his goods. These ten thousand readers would
be mass with out muscle. He could make them willing to do busi
ness with him, but their incomes wouldn't let them become cus
tomers. ,
One of the greatest mistakes in publicity is to drop your lines
where the fish can't take your bait. ; '
Circulation is, as you see, a very interesting subject, but
very few people know anything about it. It would Surprise you
to know that this ignorance often extends to the business offices
of newspapers. I have known
the class of their readers and have met hundreds of them who had
the most fantastic ideas upon the figures of their circulation.
While I would not be so harsh as to accuse them of anything
more than being mistaken, none the less their tendency to infect
others with this misinformation renders it extremely advisable
for you to become a member of the Missouri society arid "be
shown." v ...
You don't want a circulation statfinent. You, don't under
stand the tricks in their making. Circulation statements, usually
sworn to are dust to blind the eyes of the advertiser to a
paper's delinquencies in producing results. Make the newspaper
which carries your advertisement show you the list of its adver
tisers. The supreme test of the advertising value of a newspaper
is does it carry the bulk of the advertising! A newspaper which
prints the most advertising, month after month, year after year,
is always tho best medium. This is true in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, as well as Omaha. v
