COURTHOUSE BEGUN IN 1867 Macoupin's Officers Built More Extrav agantly Than They Anticipated, Though Without Graft, and Two Generations Have Worked to Burn the Last Bills. Residents of Macoupin county. 111., had two independence days recently at Carlinville, the county capital, when the last bond of indebtedness of what is probably the most famous court house in the United States was burned. For over forty years a debt large enough to stagger some states has been hanging over the heads of the taxpayers. The amount of bonds and Interest bearing orders issued by the county court in the construction of a fine courthouse was about $1,400,000. but the cost of litigation plus inter est added a large amount to the origi nal sum. In some respects the courthouse at Carlinville is a mystery.

It is claimed that the commis sioners never expected to erect such a fine structure, but overreached their plans. The second excuse is that a building of the kind would prevent the county from ever being divided and the capitol removed from Carlinville. Building Started In 1867, It was at the March term of the county court in 18G7 that an order was Issued for the construction of the new building. T. L. Loomis was appointed county agent to close and sign all contracts made by the commissioners. During the summer and autumn of 1SG7 the work of excavating for the foundation and getting the building under head way progressed rapidly. fly 1 . i a . ine carnnviiie citizens were sur prised at the scope of the plans, but their shock was mild in comparison with that of large landholders, who ex pressed their indignation when they went to town. The first report made Dy ioomis showed a total expense of $49,942.53. A year later this had grown to $449,604.67. and the building was only a skeleton of the complex structure. A total of the expenditures for 1869 was $838,540.77 At last the building, with its splen did dome towering skyward, was ready for occupancy. And then the troubles of the taxpayers really began. It seemed for several years that the debt would be the ruin of the county There were lawsuits, then indignation meetings of taxpayers. A majority of the board of super visors was fined for contempt of the federal court for refusing to make a Just received a nice lot of fur hats going very cheap 98c and now 3.25 save money. oul Dont forget to call for your ticket with cash purchase.

Accusations have often been made that there was a lot of graft In con nection withthe building of the court house. It was never really shown that those directly Interested in the erection of the building had withheld any of the county's money. However, there was a woeful waste of money in the construction of such a largo building, according to the general belief of the taxpayers. The Carlinville courthouse Is a mas sive structure of brick and iron, faced with limestone. It was built with the expectation that it would endure a century. So far there have been but few repairs made, most of these being changes in the system of heating. m Fresh Meats, Fish and Dressed Foul Russia Gets Steel Contract.
