doing court business this hot weather.
he looks about worn out and will evil
IDENTIFY be glad when the term is
finished. He is a courteous and ell
Gent officer and his Office is always
made pleasant resort for all, with the
exception Of evil doors.
Treasurer Cooper and his deputy, E.
II. Dingee, are both rushed TO take in
the last half of taxes ds fast as the peo-
pie want. Their fast way Of doing
business, however, permits them to
wait on customers as eXpedltiously as
clerks in a frst-class dry goods store,
and none are kept waiting but few
moments at time.
County Clerk Mike Bert is always at
work and only stops to answer queS-
tons, which he always does in gentle
manly way and seems both willing and
anxious to furnish any information de-
sired.
District Clerk Anderson attends
strictly to business and from all ap-
pearances is filling that important office
to the entire satisfaction of all. The
duties of his Office are complicated and
require level head TO keep things
straight, which, we are happy to say,
lie possesses.
Probate Judge b. w. Peck seems to
enjoy the confidence, not only of the
attorneys who practice before his court.
but of all who have any kind of bust
ness there. He is said to cling TO facts
and to apply good judgment in all of
his decisions, rather than to stick to
technicalities, and if we are not very
much mistaken this course will win
every time.
Recorder of Deeds Nichols is on his
second year in that office, and we have
yet to learn of the first man to find
fault with his way of doing business.
| The recorders office may be said to be
the most pleasant of any to do business
with. 1t is mostly clerical work and
what it wants is close application to
business, and this qualification Mr..
Nichols surely possesses.
Superintendent Ford may be found
at the high school building every fore
noon, SO long as the normal institute
lasts, attending TO the details of that in
Stitution and giving aid and counsel to
instructors and teachers alike. lie is
serving his second term in that office
and has SO far given universal salts
faction. The general condition Of the
schools in the county shows marks OF
advancement, large share Of which
may properly be attributed to hard
work on his part.
County Attorney Biting divides ny
his time between district court work
and advising the county commissioners
who have had the intricate work of
euualizing the assessment for the past
two years. lie is making a splendid
record so far and has the ability, as
well as the disposition, to make sue
cessfui county attorney.
a. g. Romig is seldom found in his
office as his work is mostly i'll the field
but it is conceded that he is performing
MS duties with equal pleasure to him
self and honor to the county.
The county commissioners are en-
titled to the thanks Of all for the man
uer in which they manage the affairs
of the county. Much fault will he
found with them if they do their duty
bnt they are all men of experience and
of sound judgment, and they generally
chew to the line, let the chips fall
where they may" and so long as they
do this they will have the support of q
large majority of those who placed
them in office.
Coroner Keller has been just lately
appointed and has not yet been able tC
exhibit specimens of his skill in ''sit-
ting down on folks" but we have nc
loubt he will do the work with much
grace if he ever gets chance.
Taking them together, Dickinson
