COUNTY AUDITOR.

Now that the census returns show that
Sedgwick county is under the law is first
class county with five thousand population
to spare, the appointment Of county audi.
ter will be in order. This officer will be
appointed by Judge Sluss under the law.
His bond will be in the sum Of $50,OOO, and
to a very large extent he does the bushes,
ordinarily done by the county board, espec
tally all OF the mere routine business such
as the examination and auditing Of
bills, etc. The commissioners witt
an auditor will have occasion for very few
special meetings. The auditor under the
law will make up minutes and itemiZcd ac'
counts of all his allowances and transac
tons, which exhibits must be promptly
published in the official paper of the county,
so that every taxpayer may see for himself
just what is being done. When thi,
officer will be appointed we are
not advised, but Judge Sluss being
a prompt officer IL may be looked for at any
hour. The place is not an easy one to ill
and any one but competent accountant il
likely to get into trouble. He must no,
only acquaint himself with good many
laws including those governing the com.
mlssioners, and those governing each cOun.
ty officer, but he must familiarizc himself
each. In fact, a good lawyer and good
business man combined make a good audi.
tor. The pay is 81 900 per year.

DEPUTY ycvnrY CLERK.

For months past it has been evident to the
county commissioners that greater force
must be employed in the Office of county
clerk. Mr.. +. p. Ford, with all his expe.
rience in the position, aud the help Of one
or two assistants, found 1t impossible to
keep abreast of the work. The commits.
sioners could give him no legal relief I'M
til the result of the census of this spring
should. be returned. This result was
reached yesterday, when it was
found that surplus of nearly
five thousand population was left to go on.
1t was no wonder that one clerk could not
do the work. As soon as the result was
reached the commissioners in pursuance OF
law resolved to appoint q deputy county
clerk Immediately. The place was offered
by them to Ed. A. Dorsey rs being the man
Of all others the best posted and best
qualified for the large amount Of extra
work to be done. He accepted, much
to Mr.. Ford's satisfaction, and
will enter upon the duties imme-
diately. Mr.. Ford believes with such eff
cicnt aid that the work OF the Office will be
brought up in very short time. As to the
EAGLES opinion Of the appointment,
knowing that the county clerks books are
the check on every fund, officer and treas.
urer in the county, from county treasurer
to treasurer of school districts, and know
ing Ed. Dorsey to be one of the most com.
petent accountants in the whole state, we
have DO hesitency in saying that the com.
missioners did very wise thing, whatever
may be said by personal enemies or local
politicians.

TERRIBLE WARNING.

A man by the name OF Newton Onwaler
in the act OF opening bottle of beer yester.
day in defiance OF the statutes in such cases
made aud provided, and in the absence OF a
letter from Governor Click promising a
pardon, cut an artery at the base of his
thumb with the broken neck, which he had
knocked of because OF the stringency Of the
cork-screw market. The wound was deep
and severe aud bled SO profusely that he
bound it up and started down the
street. When in front of Lawrence's drug
store he tainted and fell from the loss OF
more blood in quantity than the bottle con-
tanned beer. lie was picked up and con-
veyed into the rear Of the drug store, when
Marshal Cairns and John MurtEy stopped
the flow OF blood by pressing the artery
high up under The arm until doctor could
be called. The boys laughed, but not so
Newton who had close call. We hope
this may prove a warning to those who are
SO anxious to get at the contents Of bottle
that they cant wait for Il corkscrew.

DEATH or NON. o. .. emmeRr.

The Topeka Commonwealth Of yesterday,
as also the Emporia News, contained an
nouncements Of the death ut Albuquerque,
New Mexico, OF Hon. David B. Emmert.
At first We could hardly credit the sad
news, but late last evening We we're told
that telegram had been received in this
city in confirmation. The editor Of this
paper first formed the acquaintance of Mr.
Emmert at Topeka, in 1859, when he
worked with him. We Afterwards re-
newed our friendship while he published
paper at Auburn, Shawnee county, called
the Docket. In 1868 or 1884 Mr.. Emmcrt
became the proprietor Of what is now the
daily Fort Scott Monitor, in which he Of
fered us half interest il we would 60
down from Burlingame, where we were
then located, and take charge OF 1t,
as he had so many other things
to. look after, he had no time to give to the
paper. We knew him Is chief clerk Of the
Kansas house of representatives, a. Uni
ted States land officer of the southeastern
land district, and later As resident Of this
city for several years and a clerk In the
land Office here. In all these places and re-
lations we knew him rs an honest, earnest,
upright man, possessing more than ordi-
nary powers Of mind, soul filed with
charity for the frailties and shortcomings of
his human brothers everywhere. Since his
removal to Mexico, We have often heard
from him directly by letter. for he had the
EAGLE follow him to his new home. As
secretary OF the New Mexican Annual
Fair association he had formed a
wide and favorable acquain-
tance with the people throughout
New Mexico. When We last saw him he
informed US that he was prosperous in his
business and happy in his new surround
ings and was never stronger or more
healthy in his life. 1t seems that his death
was sudden. His wife and children will
have the warmest sympathies Of large
number of people in this city.
"Why is life given
To be thus wrested from us? rather why
Obtruded on us thus! Who, IL he knew
What we receive, would either not accept
Life offer'd. or soon beg to lay it down,
Glad to be DISMISSED iQ peaceT'
For it is a weary interlude of long woes
and brief joys, vain hopes and vainer fears,
and why should we hesitate to have the
days cut short in number, knowing as we
do their perils and unrest. Then to noble,
warm-hcarted Dave as We bid him farewell
we bid him rest. -
