officers who prefer that each treasurer
and auditor should have system of his
own, by which irregularities and peccu-
lations can be covered up. A uniform
system is, however, demanded, and will
sooner or later be adopted. The system
of Capt. Mills would greatly simplify
county accounts and no doubt save
thousands of dollars annually.

GOOD FUR WHATAILS HIM
An editor down there toward St.
Paul has been sick and that accounts
for the shortness in his last paper. 1t
varied so mucl, from its usual fairness
and perpendicular dullness that he had
to apologize. And this reminds us
that lie Ought not to be sick. What he
wants is more climate. Down this way
we don't talk of much else in these dull
times. We go it strong on the climate,
money or no money, business Or no
business. We mix in u little religion
and temperance with it, but climate is
our staple and specific remedy. We re-
commend it to the aforesick editor.
Take IL just before meals and just after
meals. Shake it up we'll and take it in
wardly and rub it in we'll on the out
side. We know cases Of chronic and
virulent laziness which have been cured
by it, when all the doctors had given
them up.
MINOR ARRIVAL.
On Thursday morning last, at the
Worthington Hotel, !. son. Shell must
have had some premonition Of this
event, judging from the preparations
around the Hotel. He had just built
on a $500 addition, put double floor,
four-burner chandelier, and lot of
new spittoons in the Office, and furnish
ell the windows inside with those hand
some Slated Philadelphia blinds. In
short, it looks like good preparation
to make for such little guest, but then
quality amounts to a good deal more
than quantity. Nine pounds Of ones
own baby is worth !. ton of foreign i'm
migration. Milton will please credit
us with three Of the best cigars in the
show CASEY
