"Objectors to the estimates for
restoring the records should re-
Lmember that this work will be' done
by clerks worfyinjy by the day and
bonds will be iSsued just as fast as
is necessary to pay the clerks," said
Commissioner Unitt. "If the records
in the register - of deeds are re
stored for $150,000 we simply won't
issue the rest of the- bonds. But if
our estimates were too low we
couldn't get additional money to
complete this .work."

MAY ADVERTISE
BONDS TO REPAIR
THE COURT HOUSE
Expect Resolution to Pass To
day Sold asWork
Progresses. . , .
The board of county commission
ers this morning probably will pass
a resolution calling for adver
tisements for the sale of $800,000 of
bonds for the repair of the court
house and the restoration of county
records destroyed in the fire of Sep
tember 28.
County Attorney Shotwell drew
up the resolution in legal form.
Never before in Douglas county
havv five men passed a resolution
involving so much money. Usually
the people have to vote on bond
issues. In the present instance the
state legislature at a special session
called by Governor McKelvie fol
lowing the riot and fire of Septem
ber 28 gave the Douglas county
commissioners authority to issue
the bonds.
Delay of Month.
Delay ' of nearlv a month was
caused when citizens objected to the
hiring of John Latenser to make the
repairs. Then committees of archi
tects, engineers, contractors and
laymen were appointed to make es
timates of the cost of repairs and
committees . of abstractors and
real estate men to estimate the
cost of restoring the records.
The Citizens and Taxpayers'
league objected to the estimate of
$50,uuu to restore the records in
the register of deeds office and of
$40,000 to restore the records in the
treasurer's office. The county com
missioners cut these to $235,000 and
$10,000 respectively.
Itemized Cost.
The resolution to be passed calls
for issuing bonds of Douglas coun
ty to cover the following items:
Repairing, the court house and
furniture and fixtures: for the
court home .1548,000

My, Heart and My Husband
ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of V
"Revelations of a Wife r '
What Dicky Suggested After Major
Grantland Had Helped to
Revive Madge.
I wondered idly, with what faculty
I had left -to wonder, why Hugh
Grantlan and not my husband had
been first to notice my illness.
I had not realized in the first ex
citement of the accident that I had
been subjected to an unusual shock.
Then, too, before Dicky's protect
ing arms coum shield meHhe steer
ing wheel had struck my side vio
lently. I had not noticed it at first.
but as I sat by the roadside watch
ing the two men at work upon the
cars I began to feel more pain, and
Dy me time Major Uratland looked
up at me I was woefully faint and
ill.
At the officer's words Dickv
looked sharply at me. then both
men hurried to me.
"What is it, sweatheart?"
"I fear you are ill, Mrs. Graham."
Dicky's Plan.
Outwardly, one was the anxious
query of a husband, the other the
conversational courtsey of an ac
quaintance. Yet through my pain
and faintness I recognized the same
drawn, tense note m both queries,
and realized that one man was no
less worried than the other.
I rallied myself with an effort. I
have the horror of the hopeless-cUng-vine
type of woman, who faint
at every accident, and I tried to
make my voice strong and casual.
"I am absolutely all right," I said.
With the cheerful accustomed ac
ceptance of husbands, Dicky's face
cleared.
"Are you sure?" he asked per
functorily, then he added enthus
iastically, "I have itl Grantland, I
wonder if it would trouble you too
much to take Mrs. Graham along
with you? You "can leave her at
the little inn in the next town, and
then I can go there after her. She
can perhaps find a place to lie
down."
Major Grantland hesitated for
only the fraction of a second. But
I knew that for some reason he did
not wish to grant Dicky's request.
Then his face set into the grim
lines I knew so well, and he bowed
to me with the funny little, awkward
manner which had made"" me sure
when I first met him that he was
unused to the' society of women.
"I am only too happy to be of
service to Mrs. Graham. ' But if I
am to assume charge I must insist
upon her taking a bit of first-aid
treatment of mine. She has had a
greater shock than we realize.'!
His hesitation before the pronoun
pointed his meaning so clearly that I
wondered if Dicky could fail to
catch it. If he had shouted "you
realize" he could not have made his
meaning clearer.
. Sudden Distaste.
But Drcky was either abtuse or
preserved a poker face, for he
laughted heartily.
"If it's the right kind of 'first
aid," I wouldn't mind being revived
myself."
"Unfortunately, I am not provided
with that variety," the officer ans
swered, and in another minute or
two with swift deft movements he
had produced a small drinking cup,
water from a thermos bottle, and a
tiny vail from which he carefully
poured a few drops of liquid.
Then he crossed to me and bent
toward me.
"Drink it quickly," he said to me,
and I knew that he had observed the
faintness which my husband failed
to see.
I drained it obediently, and lifted
my eyes to his searching anxious
ones as I returned the cup. But
there was a gleam in them that made
me drop mine again.
"Thank you," I murmured, and
was furious to find myself as tongue
tied and embarrassed as a school
girl. ' i .
He made no reply, simply stood
waiting until the color came back to
my face. I knew that it had re
turned, for I felt my cheeks burning.
The pungent revivifier he had given
me was certainly a potent one.- In
a few" minutes the terrible faint
ness I had felt completely disap
peared, although the pain in my side
remained.
"Whenever you are ready," he said
quietly.
"I am ready now," I returned, and
he quickly put out his hand to help
me up.
I looked around for Dicky and saw
him standing by the side of 'bur own
car, evidently taking stock of the
injury. He wheeled quickly as we
approached him.
"Well, old dear, you don't look as
if you required any first aid now!"
he said cheerily, wisn i naa some
of that dope, Grantland, to give this
car. She certainly needs first aid."
"We'll send a surgeon, back,"
Major Grantland promised as he
assisted me into the front seat of
the machine. I wondered why he
did not put me in the tonneau. It
was certainly not want of thought,
for he made the cushioned seat still
more comfortable with a folded
robe. I saw Dicky's eyebrows go
up and had a sudden distaste and
shrinking for the little journey.
(Continued Monday.)
"Lightless Nights"
Again in Omaha; Move
To Save Coal Supply
"Lightless nights" started again in
Omaha last night.
The sub-fuel committee requested
the Nebraska Power Co., through
J. E. Davidson, to turn out all dis
play advertising signs in the city in
order to conserve fuel. This meas
ure went into effect last night and
caused about 500 signs to be turned
out.
The lights will remain out until
the acute fuel situation is relieved. .
Mr. Davidson says the people of
Omaha will help if they will be
conservative in the use of electricity.
GET ARRESTED IN
OMAHA AND HAVE
RIDE IN A PACKARD
i
Four City Commissioners Vote
to Buy High-Priced
Cars. i
"This is ruthless extravagance,"
asserted Mayor Smith yesterday in
the city council chamber, during a
discussion of the purchase of two
new automobile patrols for the po
lice department.
Police Commissioner Ringer, sup
ported by Commissioners .Zimman,
Towl and Falconer, voted to pur
chase two new Packards at a price
of $5,712 each. Mayor Smith and
Commissioners Butler and Ure voted
against the resolution.
Hold Special Meeting. v
The decision to buy these two
new automobiles was the culmina
tion of a spirited situation. In the
first instance Mr. Ringer asked the
council to approve his recommenda
tion to buy two used Packards at a
price of $6,144 for the two. The
council approved that recommenda
tion Thursday - morning and then
rercinded its action, deciding to hold
a special meeting yesterdav when
the automobile men appeared in the
council with their arguments.
1 The cars which were purchased
were the highest priced of anv of
fered by the bidders.
Ure Against Purchase.
An interesting phase of the sit
uation is the opposition of City
Commissioner Ure to the purchase
of these expensive patrols for the
police department, in view of Mr.
Ure's support of Mr. Ringer during
the recent days of stress for the
police commissioner.
"These cars will never be bought
if I can help it," said Mr. Ure. ,
