THE COURT HOUSE

Items Picked Up About the County Capitol.

Howard Burr pf Goodland was over Wednesday as a witness in the Carr ditch proceedings. Isaac Klght, trustee-elect of Union township, was down from Fair Oaks on business Wednesday. -"-O'" ■ 1 D. J. Pettet of Wolcott and John: W. Taylor of Carpenter township were in the city Thursday as wit-; nesses in the Carr ditch hearing. It was thought as we go to press, Friday afternoon, that the remonstrators in the Carr ditch proceedings would finish their side of the case yesterday, and that court would then adjourn until Monday, when the petitioners would be heard as to the contested remonstrators. No doubt it will take several days yet to finish the case.

The cwnty commissioners will meet next Wednesday to let the annual contract for stationery and to close up the business of the term. All appropriations lapse Jan. 1, and all parties now having warrants due them Trom the county or who may have allowances made to them at this special session, should not fail to take up same before Friday, Jan. 1. Remember this and act accordingly.
