WOULD ERECT A FINE MUSEUM ( oiitr rtnnlulosrr HrtlTee that Kalrage fmra Old trwrt!' Wl Be BmttMfmt to Piwlde m PabUe Aadltarlanu The old court hou. which will be vacated an aoon aa tha new "county building I completed, will probably ba offered to th city aa a gift by the board of county com missioners, the conditions of the donation to be that the city remove the atructure from the county's around, wreck It and drvote tha salvage proceed to the construc tion of a publlo auditorium and museum It would be a $12,000 or 115,000 gift to the city. The Idea of the donation hae occurred to Jeff W. Bedford, chairman of the board of county commissioner, who ha been turn ing it over in his mind for several weeks. If ha ooncludea that the offer would ,be advisable he will Introduce a resolution covering tho proposition next Saturday or a week later. "I am considering It,- said Mr. Bedford Tuesday, "That doesn't mean that I have decided to do It. I haven't made up my mind whether It would be a good plan or not. On tt faca It looks advisable, but such a move must be considered thoroughly before any action Is taken, even before put ting to op to the board a all. "Tha most th county could get out of tha old . building would be ttf.W0 or 115,000 net That's what we would bave left out of the aalvage after paying the wrecking cost. Tha city needa a publlo bunding, one In which various organisations oould hold meetings and conventions of one kind and another . at little or no expense. The Audi torium does not answer tho purpose. I don't consider a public building now. My Idea la for a building of two stories; one for a meeting place and one for a museum. I understand the Iininger collection of an works and curios would be given the city If It had a piaoe to put it. I have no doubt that other collections would be donated. "With a Hi.000 or $15,000 start the city might he able to erect such a building and I think the money would be wen spent. It's not Improbable that suitable ground would he "donated or sold at a low price. This that I have told you la Just the Idea as It has occurred to me and without any refer ence to the objections that can be raised." SHE CHARGES FRAUD IN WITHHOLDING ALIMONY Woman Asserts Former Hvskamal Has Caslre with Bister to Keep Money front Her. Mrs. Mary Cronln, who a year ago got a divorce from Michael Cronln and an ali mony Judgrosnt for $20 "a month, never has been able to collect a cent, notwith standing that Cronln has a good position In the Union Faclflo shops. Bhe appealed to Judge Estelle Tuesday to help her collect by disallowing an assignment of Cronln'" wages made in favor of his sister, Mrs. Hannah 'Davis of Council Bluffs. J. B. Palmer, attorney for Mrs. Cronln, charged Cronln and his sister with fraud, declaring that .Cronln does, not owe Mrs. Davis anything and the two simply have conspired to keep Mrs. Cronln from getting the alimony the court awarded her. A little more than a year ago Mrs. Cronln got her divorce, but before she could col lect any alimony Mrs. Davis filed the as signment, which purported to have been given her by Cronln for $1 and other valu able consideration. Judge Redlck refused to set aside the assignment, but held that it could be good for only one year. Mrs. Cronln, waited a year and made another ef fort to collect, out found Mrs. Davis had filed a new assignment given her for $1 and other valuable consideration. Mr. Palmer declared that the filing of the new assignment Just before ths year expired Is evidence of fraud. !h,.T COL. D. E.

The High Cost of Living Every business should have an Economic Excuse for existing. While many people patronize a Cleaning Estab lishment for Aesthetic reasons, a far greater number of our patrons come here for Economic reasons. They have learned to reduce the High Cost of Living by sending their old and soiled garments to us to be Cleaned, Re paired and Pressed, which often put enough Life into them to make them do another season and thus save the cost of new ones. There are hundreds of suits, both men's and women's, doing duty In Omaha today that were headed for the "Discard" last fall and were only saved by a suggestion from us or some of our friends. Think this over before disposing of those old clothes that are hanging in your closet and send for one of our price lists, which will show you the cost of doing tha work.
