THE COURT HOUSE

Items Picked Up About the County Capitol. Already nine marriage licenses have been issued this month, “and still there’s more to follow.” —o — Joseph W. Coen has been appointed administrator of the estate of the late John F. McColly. —o— That old moss-covered case of Jacob F. Heinzman vs. the board of commissioners of Jasper county for extras on the new court house and which has been lying inactive in the White circuit court for some six or seven years, has been set for trial there next Monday, but whether or not it will be tried is problematical. —o— The liquor licenses of Conrad Kellner and August Rosenbaum will expire at 12 o’clock, midnight, Monday, Sept. 17. Henry Hilderbrand’s license will expire at the same hour next Friday, Sept. 21, while Geo. Strickfaden’s license will run until midnight of Friday Oct. 12.

In copying the proceedings from the record these amounts were there left blank, so that the auditor might fill in the amounts necessary as soon as he learned the railroad and other corporation assessments in the county, as we later learned, but the item was inadvertently put in type and run in the paper, when it was intended to be left out until the amounts were filled in. These special gravel and stone road levies have now been fixed and as follows on each SIOO valuation: Keener, 80 cents; Gillam, 60 cents; Hanging Grove, 40 cents; Marion and Rensselaer, 35 cents; Marion-Jordan-Carpenter, 5 cents.
