County OfrIeers, Fees

The Columbus correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, of Tuesday, in refer
ence TO legislative matters says:
Some time since Mr. Boyce, of Colum-
biana, introduced bill reducing fees of
county officers from 20 to 30 per cent. 1t
was a general bill, and was so described
in this correspondence, but excited so
much opposition from other committees
that between the second and third read
ings a clause was inserted limiting its op-
erations to Columbiana County-a big diff
ference. The amendment escaped my at
tention, and when the bill passed [ set
forth its provisions as found them in the
bill book, thereby bringing perfect flood
of inquiries. Columbiana alone has her
salaries lowered; other counties continue
on the old schedule. A general bill to the
same effect, introduced BY Mr.. Booth, will
come up for third reading tomorrow.
The Committee on Finance held the bill
a long time and made no recommends
ton, but the House finally took it from
their custody. The trouble with it, as
with all such bills, is in grading the coun-
ties. If the smaller counties are rated at
living salary, the same percentage
would be too much for the larger coun-
ties; and the converse difficulty would
arise in reducing fees in more populous
counties. When it is added that many
members only want an excuse of some
kind for voting against such bill, it will
be seen that its chances are not brilliant

Before You Ruy Examine
An Astonishing Fact

A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The re-
suit of these diseases upon the masses of
intelligent and valuable people is most
alarming, making life actually a burden
instead of pleasant existence of enjoy
ment and usefulness as it ought to be.
There is no good reason for this, if you
will only throw aside prejudice and skep-
ticsn, take the advice of Druggists and
your friends, and try one bottle of Green 5
August Flower. Your speedy relief Is
certain. Millions of bottles of this medi-
cine have been given away to try its vir-
tues, with satisfactory results in every
case. You can buy Il sample bottle for IL
cents TO try. Three doses will relieve the
worst case. Positively sold by all Drug
gists on the Western Continent.
