He says the auditorium was to have been used for public hall purposes that the county could not dispose of the ground in this manner without a vote of the people.

He holds that the lease is a cloud on the county's title to the ground. The land on which the auditorium stands belongs to the county. The auditorium association leased it for a. term of twenty-five years and agreed to place thereon a building worth fifteen-thousand dollars. County Attorney Tvrrell said ha A hot.

Rewlc'iW- the Lincoln: audltoriuni association said: "The lease of the Lincoln commercial association wasv assigned to the Lincoln auditorium association January 11, 1904, and the association has complied with every provision contained In the lease. Tha: revenue derived from the leasing of the building does not pay the running expenses, maintenance and repair. There has been expended during the last few months. In and about, the building, some 1800, In whitening the ceiling and Installing some 750 electric lights. The association has no way of meeting these obligations, by pro- viding entertainments for which- they I make a charge.

i i "It Is the present Intention of the management to put on moving pictures for which an admission charge of five cents will be made. It will also provide a summer garden, where patrons may be entertained with orchestra music and may buy refreshments. "The garden to which objection Is being made is enclosed by a sheet Iron fence, five feet, nine inches- capped with a threer Inch projecting cornice, and above which a two foot, half inch square mesh wire fencing Is placed. The fence' will 1 be painted dark green and the cornice and the wire white. On the west side and adjoining tne building there is a hanging gate eight feet wide which allows free access to arid from the building.

The grounds have been used by children for football, baseball and other sports and were worn almost bare. The weeds and grass are to be removed and the 'surface Is to be covered with two inches of sea gravel. The- garden will be lighted with five hundred electric lights. "I believe there is ai demand' for such an amusement place Inp the center of the cityi and It is In answer to this demand from the public that the plans have been made.

want to Know it. We must have some way to! maintain the auditorium, and It is only by giving pay entertainments in Hhe place tht this can be done. .1.

Location for It Has Wot Yet Been i Decided Upon. i- Now that the new city has about been completed, and the city offices will be moved into it within a short time, the question has arisen as to whers the health office vfill be located.

At the present time the health office and office of street commissioner occupy the same room. Only a single, deskis provid-edfor the street commissioner and sidewalk It occupies one side of the small room and I the desk for the health officer occupies the other. In the mew building it sis planned to give tho street commissioner and his assistant, the sidewalk inspector, the use of the two southwest corner rooms on the first floor: The entrance to these rooms is from the large rotunda or public space. The committee having the city hall In- charge have decided that the health office should not be located where people on entering it would come iri contact with people having business tn the city hall. The health officer ana his assistants have to come in contact with contagious diseases a great deal, and in times when smallpox is preva--lent persons who have been fn contact with the disease go to the health office by the dozens to be fumigated.

"It Is a great wonder," said Street Commissioner Hensley, "that we have not all taken the smallpox, because dozens of people who had been where smallpox was, or who even had the disease, have icome to this office to see the health 'officer, or to be 'fumigated." Under the present condition, the office1 -of; the health, officer anil street commissioner ha an outside entrance, and persons entering do 'not necessarily come in contact -With persons of lbe caher or with the "public, other than those might have bus-nesSjWlth either 1. these two But has decided that the offlce 'jjnust not be. -located in the; new city Jfiall, where the, public might' come in contact with persons having, businesu- there Chairman Biahoo of the committee stated yesterday that he was not; sure that the office would be moved from its present location, because after the other offices are moved to the new quarters It would be sufficiently Isolated.

Fire Still Mystery. i i AURORA, June 15. The origin of the fire which destroyed the building of the Aurora normal school and business college Wednesday still remains a mystery. It is quite assured, however, that the lire was of incendiary origin. There had been no fire in the building for seveal days.

On Wednesday evening the building was locked up for the night and all the windows were closed and made secure. When the fire was discovered several windows were open, as though someone had gained entrance in that manner. -The young man; who turned in the alarm at the pumping: station has not been found yet either and his knowledge of the' fire would, it Is thought, be interesting. It is stated that the school will be rebuilt. A good Insurance was carried on the building and fixtures and this sum will go far toward rebuilding.

The loss, however, Is considerable because of the Inability to-carry ion the college wo4 when it is In a growing condition. It will be difficult to secure temporary quarters, i' The property was worth before the fire $15,000. i Sews Briefs From Arapahoe. ARAPOHOE, June 15.
