FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1903. COURT HOUSE TO BE BUILT Plans of the Structure Are Approved hy Judges. Seventeen Grand Juries En dorsed the Movement for the Erection of a New Temple of Justice. Aftnr ten years' agitation by the pro moters of the plan and ten years' bitter legal lighting by those who opposed the Improvement because of the expense, the 51,000,000 court bouse for Luzerne county is to be built. The judges on Monday, in a long opinion, approved the plans of Architect P. J. Osterling, of Pittsburg, and awarded the contract to Wilson J. Smith, of Wilkesbarre. Building Inspector Brlggs yesterday granted a permit for the erection of the new courthouse, and Contracter Smith says that there will bo no further delay. The excavations will be started at once and the stone masons and others will begin work. An effort may be made to have the supreme court consider the case again, as members of the Taxpayers' Associa tion allege that It will take 83,000,000 to complete the work, despite the fact that the contract 19 let for 8050,000. The site Is to be the river front, three squares from the centre of the town. The square where court houses have stood ever sioce the county was pretentious enough to think of a government of its own will now revert to the city and be turned into a public park, the city having given In exchange another site for the new building. The new building has come only after seventeen grand juries, iu no uncertain language, have declared the present structure unsulted to the needs of the county, unhealthful. unsanitary and liable to fire which might destroy mil lions of dollars' worth of papers and In volvo the county in countless legal difficulties. The fact that the county has only 81150,000 to spend on the building now, and that it will cost more than 81,000,- 000 to complete, did not deter the judges from approving the plans for the Im provement. They said that the county was wealthy enough to complete the building when It was necessary to do so. Meeting of Council. Council met In adjourned session Monday evening with Messrs. McNeils, Doggett, Wm. Gallagher, Carpenter, Illncer, McLaughlin, Crawford and Ward present. A resolution was adopt ed fixing the salaries of all officials the same as last year.

THEATRICAL "My Friend From Arkansaw" Mr. Sherman thinks is his best and brightest play. He thinks so because It has a strong plot to It. Not just a slender thread of a story to hang the dialogue and the characters on; but a plot strong enough to keep our interest iu his people alive, while he tickles our ears with his dry and scintillant wit, and pleases our analytical faculty with the quaint humor and the genuine pathos; and, above all, tho reality of his char acter drawing. Tho plot is a pretty one. Tho actions are lively and the situations are sensational; that Is, they have in thein more of the human 'emotions which interest the human heart. Mr. Sherman has considered the craving of the modern audience for dramatic action, and with that view he has determined to make "My Friend From Arkansaw" one of the best and strongest comedy dramas ever presented on any stage. t t t Wm. A. Brady's production of "Way Down East," which will bo given at the Grand opera house soon, Is a story of homely country life in New England, and it has all the virtues and simplicity in the telling to make a groat and en during play. There are types of char acters in it which are familiar to all, and the author and collaborator have succeeded in painting them true to life. Besides this, the play has real humanity In its moments of dramatic Intensity, and a heart Interest from end to end. Scores of ministers have used it as a text, and hundreds of others have given It their unqualified endorsement. t t t "One Night in .June" will bo the at traction on Monday evening. The tone of the play Is pure and sweet, and proves that tho better nature in humanity prevails. A story of county life, the sweet remembrance never grows old. It goes right to the heart of every man, woman and child. A re freshing change from tho old wornout. X X X "Uncle Tom" drew an audience which filled tho opera house Monday evening, and the show was as enthusiastically re ceived as ever before. 0118 HsrWill Start a BntAuntVltie-il, Save Your Money.
