The Chairman said he had received
five more bills. which were referred to
the committee on Claims.
Mr.. MARsDEN presented the creden-
tails of Gottlieb Wehrle. the newly
elected supervisor of the village of Fem
nimore. On motion of Mr.. BARLEY, Mr..
Wehrle was admitted.
Mr.. HER called attention to a tran
sient pauper, Bernard Spelan. whom he
had brought to the poorhouse. He had
lived temporarily in several towns, and
had been resident of the county two
years and half; was subject to epilep-
tic fits. He had been TO the poorhouse
in Galena from the effect of an accident.
He was sent from Platteville to James
town.
MIR. MACARTHUR denied that, and said
they shipped transient paupers back
where they came from, but did not put
them off on their neighbors.
Mr.. WATSON: Why was he not sent
to Galena, if he had been in the poor
house there? If these transient paupers
are sent to the poorhouse here, it will
soon be full.
Mr.. HER: He is really resident of
Grant county. He was only temporarily
in Illinois, and was disabled by an acct
dent.
Mr.. WATSON: You ought to furnish
a history of the man, and if he belongs
to any town. let him go from that town;
but if from no particular town let him
go upon the county There have been
several complaints of paupers being
shipped into towns where they did not
belong. They should be traced up and
sent where they belong.
The Chair said he would like to have
DIR. Hier state his case to the district
attorney and get his opinion on it. He
also wished all the members to take care
not TO burden the county with transient
paupers, but when transient pauper
came along to try to get rid of him by
sending him back where he came from.
The board knew that he had saved the
county $500 or $500 year by guarding
against nonresident paupers being put
upon the county.
MIR. ID. F. Brown referred to the
matter of new claims coming in, and
said it was impossible for the committee
on Claims to complete their labors, and
moved that all bills not yet referred to
the committee be considered in commit
tee of the whole. Carried.

the act of the legislature in regaiI.. IN
the burial of Union soldiers, and the

board of each town be appointed as the
committee on the subject. 1t was so
voted.
