New Years Day passed off quietly
in this city. Quite number of gen.

were SO graciously received by the
ladies that they vowed that on next
new years. they would make better
Preparations and enter more enthusi-

did not think the services of profes-

petition by tender like contract
work, or the furnishing of supplies.
he believed such course was quite
unusual in the case Of attorney or
others employed by the county, but
as this course had been taken on this
occasion, he had only to say that, if
the commissioners were satisfied
with the professional services he had
rendered and desired that he should
continue to serve in the capacity of
county physician, he would agree to
serve for one dollar less than any
othos tender made.
DIR. Dawson's professional services
having been highly satisfactory to
the commissioners and to the prblic
and as his offer was the lowest, he
was unanimously reappointed at
$459 per year. The conditions of the
advertisement did not obligate the
commissioners to accept the lowest
bid, but as DIR. Dawson has consent
ed to serve for less than the lowest
tender, the county saves some money
and it il presumed all will be salts

Tie Aesthetic APOSTLE.

NEW YORK, January 3.-A chilled
crowd of esthetic human beings beat
their hands and stamped their feet
on the dock this morning while wait
ing the Arizona, on which was their
apostle, Oscar Wilde. The big ship
stuck fast on q bank of mud twenty
feet from the dock. Tugs pushed
and pulled the Arizona's- engines
worked vigorously but the mud was
victor for . time. While the fight
between steam and mud was in pro-
gress the shivering mass of humanity
greeted with rounds of applause
the towering form on the Arizona's
deck. 1t was that of man youthful
in appearance. He stood six feet
four inches. He has n smooth face
and long, flowing locks. An over
coat of bottle-green cloth, fur lined
aud fur collared, seal skin cap and
yellow kid gloves made the man more
conspicuous. 1t was Oscar Wilde,
the poet and journalist.
81 am here to lecture and see the
country" he said, with q hearty
laugh. "Will stay long? Really, l
cannot say. 1t depends upon cir
eumstances. Ny fellow voyagers
have given me such q glowing de-
scription of the country that am in
love with it already. want to see

Last week the RECORD noted the
general feeling of interest on the part
Of the tax-paying in consequence Of
the increased rate Of taxation this
year. Now this fs as 1t should be.
No matter what public improvements
are made or who spends the town
funds, one thing is as certain az
death and the measles. and that is,
the Taxpayers will ultimately have
to foot the bills. This is the reason
why the RECORD desires to keep the
public posted on the manner in which
the town and county affairs are man.
aged and not with a view to cast re-
fiections on the town or county of
ficials, as the Reporter and some
other foolish people Seem to imagine.-
So far as the RsconD has published
or commented on the AFFAIRS Of the
town or county, the officers seem to
have discharged their trust in most
creditable manner. II in the future
it should be found that any Of them
have failed to do so, the res spoEsibilis
ty will rest on them and not With
the RECORD for unearthing the nat-
ter. It is due to the present towlf
board to state that the increase in
the city taxes this year was owing to-
the compromise of the bonded i'm
debtedness of the city with the rail-
road company. Fifty thousand dol
lars in bonds and accumulated inter-
est, amounting to about $22 1000, were
compromised for cash payment Of
81 900, aud the return of $50, 900 rail-
road stock. To raise the cash, ~ 600
bonds bearing 10 per cent. were is
sued and taken by Mr.. Reynolds, of
the Fremont County Bank, at par.
One half of this amount has to be-
paid in 1882 and the other half in
1883. There is no question but this was
q favorable compromise for the city,
and there can be no doubt but the
plunging of the city into the original
indebtedness was a very unwise piece
of business. The taxpayers should
keep their eyes on public affairs and
prevent repetition of such foolish
ness.

The last Reporter asks /:


Will the town board please inform
the young man that presides over the
columns OF the RECORD of their out
goings and incomings. He has a right
to have his inquisitive mind satisfied,
and we opine that he will have every
one of the board banished to the FIJI
Islands il they don t report 10 him a
little more regularly than theyFhave
heretofore done. j
1t is quite unnecessary. The Re-
CORD ryoung man" can always find
out for himself enough to satisfy the
cravings of his inquisitive mind, and
at the same time he tries to find
items of news to satisfy the minds Of
an inquisitive public. One. would
be led to believe from reading the
Reporters comments on the Rec
oRD's enterprise in being first to
publish interesting local news, that
il regarded the matter as an infringe
ment on its own patent insides" and

RECORD has rendered good service
to the town board as well as TO the
taxpayers by publishing reports OF
the town meetings. 1t has good rea-
son to know that all concerned are
well pleased to see the proceedings

to be anything about the matter
which any one wants to conceal, aud
there certainly should be nothing
about the management of public af.

wish to destroy they first make mad''
and SO it is in this case. Here is how
the Reporter shuts its eyes and butts
against the truth:
TIE statements made are all cor
rect, except the following: The
RECORD has no more evidence that
the track on River street will be re-
moved than il had six months ago.
The town board never sent Marshal
Frazier to Colorado Springs. Mar
shall Frazier has not been to Colorado
Springs to confer with the railroad
people, nor has he been there at all.
The railroad people did not assure
Marshal Frazier that the track would
be removed s'in accordance with the
terms of the agreement formerly
made respecting the matter" The
remaining portion of the article is
correct in every particular, and even
If the RECORD was wrong in some of
its statements, it deserves great cred
it for its unlimited stretch of imagi-
nation.
The facts stated by the RECORD
can be proved by every member of
the town board, and by Marshal
Frazier himself. He was instructed
by the board to go and see the rail-
road officials at it's meeting held four
weeks ago last Monday. The RECORD
reporter, who was present, was re-
quested by Capt. Ferrier in the open
meeting not to publish the matter in
that weeks report of their proceed
ings, SO as not to stir it up before the
railroad officials had been seen, and
the request was Joined in by the
other members. The matter was
omitted accordingly Marshal Fra
zier afterwards reported to the
RECORD that he had visited the rail-
road officials-leaving town for that
rnrs>e.-> -. si.a ,niallt the tr1mn Mas
hsif hanged and thus accounting for
his absence that highland had q
satisfactory interview with General
Palmer who, he said, assured him the
track would be removed in accord
ance with the agreement. During
the past week the RECORD was
shown letter on the subject from
the railroad officials 10 Mr.. Skeele, in
which they excuse the delay on ac-
count of the absence of Mr.. Bass, the
attorney of the road.
It seems almost incredible that any
one could be SO stupid as to rush in
to contradict statement which can
be sustained by SO much proof. The
RECORD regrets its neighbor did not
enjoy the holidays better. 1t is dys-
peptic and has had bad attack of
the night mare.
