A GENTLEMAN who has official relations
with the county board remarked few
days ago to the writer: "are you aware
that the present county board is first
class one2" The several towns and wards
exercise great good judgment in choos-
ing their chairman. Very rarely there
is contest for this important office and
it seems to be understood that this posi-
ton belongs to the fttest man. 1t is
doubtful whether any county in the state
can present better board than the one
which has just adjourned, and in fact
for years there has not been single act
of the board justly deserving unfavorable
criticism. The members act upon every
thing brought before them in spirit of
justice, and are not Influenced by person
al friendships or enmities. 1t is bold,
outspoken, candid board, and not a
member of it is the creature of any one.
1t is no longer sectional and the 'ayes"
and "noes" on important questions are
mixed indiscriminately in regard to
locality represented.
The practice of returning good men,
bers from year to year, has largely
brought this about, and gives the board
familiarity with business which en-
ables it to act promptly and intelligently.
There is not even suspicion of jobbery
in any action of the board, and lobbying
is practically unknown. The people of
the county have reason to feel proud of
their representatives.,

EVERY fall Two Rivers throws time
out of joint and gives 1t limp forward
to the extent of three quarters of an

been the disturbing influence, seeking to
steal little daylight from the morning.

light is now introduced and the factories
look brilliant in the darkness, and work

The building of the breakwater under
Eighth street bridge is regarded with
great doubt by Mr.. Crosman, as he thinks
it will be an injury to the lower docks
He suggests as plan to secure stiller
water in the river the dredging of slips
near the shore line extending out from
the harbor. These would materially
lessen the force of waves in the harbor.
Breakwaters, he thinks, are apt to create
bars

The terrible effects of dynamite explo-
sions is due to the raoidity with which
the explosion is transmitted, being at the
rate of "a, 900 feet per second. It needs
no confinement, the pressure of the air
being sufficient. There is popular ia l.
lacy that dynamite works downward only.
It works in all directions like any other
explosive, but its action is so rapid that
the air offers full resistance. Of course
its action on the atmosphere cannot be
computed.

THE MURDER CASE.

The examination of Morris was resum-
ed on Friday last and continued inter
ruptedly to the present. The testimony
of Mrs. Albert Schneider and Mr.. Michael
Herr had reference mainly to the time
which Morris reached the ball the night
of the murder The substance of sheriff
Murphy's testimony has been given in
these columns before. Anthony Morris's
testimony simply showed that the state
of morals in that community was as bad
as the most depraved imagination could
picture and corrupting to most startling
degree.
Will Morris shot a dog some time ago
and the dog was buried. Lately the
carcass was e1humed and the shot extract
ed was compared with that taker from
the wound in the girls head. DR.. Luh
man compared them by weight and found
but little difference, but stated that ami
NAL matter adhered tothe shot and might
have affected its weight. The grade of
the shot could not be ascertained by the
eye as it was considerably fattened. The
doctor washed the shot taken from the
dog but the washing would only remove
loosely adhering foreign substances.
Tuesday evening, the gunsmith en-
ployed by Lade, was put upon the stand.
He had made an examination of the gun
owned by Morris and says he found a
paper wad in the bottom of the barrel.
He is still on the witness stand as the
paper goes to press. This is the last
witness the state will call. What the
defense will do is not known. 1t will
probably introduce testimony.

THE county board has taken pretty
decisive and intelligent action on the
Newton murder case. In case the pres
ept examination should fail reward of
81, 900 will be offered for the discovery
of the murderer, and Judge ellison will
be requested to provide for grand jury
to investigate the matter. The appoint.
ment of grand jury furnishes a better
opportunity for the discovery of all facts
as it takes testimony without reference
to any particular person and on the facts
presented frames an indictment. The
is most laudable and the guilty person
is going to find it difficult to escape.

The people of Gasoony, France, have
had the same trouble with sand dunes
which the people near Two Rivers have
been experiencing of late years. An en-.
gineer succeeded in making the movable
dunes permanent by planting trees, and
thus preventing their further spread
inwards. But the permanent dunes were
being invaded and to protect these a
palisade was built with interstices so that
the dune formed there would have it's
steep side toward the sea. This solved
the problem and the sand invasion was
prevented.
