Considerable excitement prevailed at the court house about 10 o'clock this morning when large volumes of smoke were discovered coming from a long crack In the wall on the east side of the building just above the vault room. It was discovered that the smoke was coming from a defective flue leading from the county clerk's office and It was necessary tor County Judge R. W. Marsters to have the fire In that office extinguished before the circuit court .could proceed with out fear of a conflagration, or a repe tition of a number of years ago when the court house was ravaged by flames. Hereafter, until the necessary re pairs are made to the flue the force in the clerk's office will have to don "seal skins" to endure the mild win ter climate. A fire would be utter ly out of the question unless the in habitants of that neighborhood were furnished! with gas masks. That some extensive repairs must be made on the present court struc ture seems inevitable. Otherwise the county records are in danger. This fact was brought forcibly t. view this morning.

L Eddy has been retained as counsel for the plaintiffs while Neuner & Wimberly are looking after the Inter ests of the defendants. WHY GIVE PRESIDENT . . (By Associates Press.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.
