COURTHOUSE EMPLOYEES.
An Attempt to End the Financial Trou,

- A"Pb w Emu tne rluGuclhl 1TOuDl6'
Ever since thirteen weeks ago there has
been trouble between the County Commits
sloners, Board of Control, County Treasurer
Fratz and the Courthouse employees, and
all on account of the fact that the latter
could not get their salaries because the
Commissioners would not send in the
names OF the appointees to the Board of
Control.
One of the County Commissioners jani-
tors named John Koehler, sought to get his
money some days ago by mandamus pro-
ceeding in the District Court. The case has
not yet been heard.
To-day there was a new phase in the case,
Sheriff Weber, through his attorney 7. C.
Campbell sending in a communication
asking that the Clerk be instructed to give
transcript of the proceedings of the meet
ing in which the names of the appointees
in the Sheriff Office and Jail were presented
be given to the Sheriff.
Mr.. Reardon moved that the request be
granted.
Mr.. zumstein wanted the matter laid
over.
A regular war of words ensued.
Mr.. Zumstein then offered all amendment
that the communication be received and
filed. The vote on the amendment stood
all yeas
This ended the matter, although Mr..
Campbell claimed that the transcript had
been allowed.
Mr.. Fratz, the County Treasurer, also
asked for transcript concerning his ap-
pointrnent No action was taken on this.

equality with indexes owned by private
persons and, further. in order to facilitate
the business of this Office, l recommend
that,
The indexes to the Geographical Index,
now comprised of three books, one
for each series, be revised and
consolidated into one which, in
addition to showing in what book and
and page OF the general index any in-lot,
out-lot, subdivision or section can be found,
shall also show where the plot of said sub
division, &c, is recorded, and that a dupli-
cate of same be made as soon as finished, as
this book is constantly in use.
That the indexes to plots, surveys
agreements about streets or alleys, now
comprised in six books, be consolidated in
TO one and that the plats be indexed under
the various names and titles by which they
are known.
That an alphabetical index be made un-
der the Jones system of all mortgages
left for record from the year 1860 to
the present date. This would insure perfect
safety in an examination for membranes
upon real estate, as the one index would be
check upon the other.
Public interest requires that the above
ought to be done, and under the authority
given you request that be permitted to
make said indexes at such compensation
as you may deem just and proper.
In this connection | will also add that
several of the books now com prising the gem
eral index need recopying, and this should
be done at once, as they are torn
and soiled, while in others the writing is
nearly obliterated by being worn and by
operation of time. would be pleased to
have your Board visit this office, and make
personal examination of the wants of
the same. Respectfully,
FRANK BRUNER, Recorder.

every member OF the bar.

The Long-distance Walker.

Madame Anderson at half-past o'clock
this morning had finished four hundred
and sixty-two miles of her walk, and is still
in good trim. At times she will appear
dull and drowsy, and then again she will
brighten up and be as lively as a cricket.
The task Madame Anderson has under
taken is evidently difficult one, and if
she accomplishes it she certainly deserves
credit Crowds of people still continue to
visit her, night and day.
