It was rumored on the streets early yester-
day forenoon that a singular suicide had oc-
CURED in the East side. Upon investigation
the rumor proved too true. 1t seems that
l. ycurgus L. Lane, better known az king"
has shot himself through the head, and
death ensued in twenty minutes. Deceased
resided at No. 622 Monroe street and was we'll
known, az he has long resided here and was an
esteemed citizen. He was a nephew of the
Messrs. Lane, of the firm of Merriman, Bar
rows & Co., and has been in their employ until
last Thnrsday. He was steady, industrious
man, 50 years old and had ccumulated suffi-
cient amount of this worlds goods to be con-
sidered in comfortable circumstances.
This, with the fact that heretofore he has
been of sunny disposition, makes it hard to
find q cause for the terrible act.
For few days past he has been rather
gloomy, and complained of not feeling welt.
He seems to have contemplated suicide, as he
had frequently handled q revolver; had called
on his mother and asked her to pray for him,
aud, upon writing letter, told his wife it was
the last he would pen.
Yesterday morning he complained of feeling
unwell, and his wife said she would 20 after
some water. While she was absent he went
up stairs, sat down on the bed, placed
the revolver at the back part of his

about twenty minutes but continued in an un-

and mystery will probably surround this sim

Hou. Henry NJ. Knox, Public Examiner:
DEAR SIR: l am in receipt of yours of recent
date inclosing classified lists # claims allowed
by the board of county commissioners of Ram
sew county, and paid to certain county officers
of said county, in addition to the salaries al
lowed by law, and asking if the claims 40 al
lowed were legal demands against the county
of Ramsey. In reply have to say, that it is a
well settled rule that person accepting pub
lie Office with fixed salary is bound to perform
all the duties of the Office for the salary. Nor
is the rule changed, although the labors and
duties of the Office are subsequently increased.
If the law imposing the additional labor and
duties does not give compensation in express
terms none can be recovered for the additional
services. Whether the pay shall be increased
with the burden is question for the legisla-
ture. l Dillon, Municipal Corporations, SET.

This exception has application to those

in the first instance, and this latter provision
has stood as law during the operation of all the
acts; but since April 1, 1872, and down to the

CONCLUSION.
must only take the space to say, in conclu-
sion, that this report although so long, is not
in the nature of the case exhaustive, but only
indicative. 1t has been possible only to look
carefully into the work here and there 30 a. to
cover the most important of the various de-
partments of the business OF the accounting
officers. thus giving sample of each. The au-
ditor informs me that the entries upon the an
nual tax duplicates cover some 40, 200 descrip-
tions of property, and learn from the treas
urer that at least IL, 900 receipts are issued by
farious and complicated transactions through a

is to be reached) absorbs an amount of time in
credible to those not acquainted with the vol
ume of work performed by the county officers.
Add to this the fact that with each backward
turn in the records moro complications arise,
and the work is more and more fraught with
obstacles and difficulties to be surmounted, and
it is safe to say that no one who has not at
least full year of time at his disposal can do
any thorough and exhaustive work in thus di-
rection.
Such an amount of time have not felt at
liberty to devote to any one county. l have not
and cannot feel that the act creating this office
intended that the incumbent should 60 back
indefinitely into the archives of the past. and
were it 50 intended it would be physically i'm
possible. It cannot reasonably be expected
that the examiner can, in addition to the cur.
rent work, do more than to indicate the charac.
