SUFFICIENTLY SOAKED
About the Handsomest July Rain
on Record.

During a large portion of Monday
night rain fell at this place. The rain
was general throughout this county. The
falling moisture was absorbed by the
thirsty ground. The ground could hardly
be in better condition for growing yege-
tation than this rain left it. July rains
have not been uncommon here, but this
was the most penetrating one which we
remember to have seen at this place.
Some fields of corn had suffered serious
ly for want of rain. In the majority of
cases this rain has revived the corn, and
the prospects for fair crop OF this desir-
able cereal are very good.
The blowing for fall wheat-sowing can
now proceed swimmingly.
It is not difficult for the old settlers to
see that the agricultural conditions in this
county are improving with the flow of the
years. Slowly, do you say? This is
inevitably true of region where man
had to build UP nature.
Ii people who are living on rented lands
in the East, or who own small, but high
priced, farms will see their own best in
terests, they will come to Trego county
while lands are cheap, and settle upon
broad acres of their own. AS we are in
the habit of declaring, they can not afford
to wait for boom. This county is as
good as it would be if boom were now
on, and the chances for securing choice
and cheap locations are infinitely better
under the conditions which exist at pres
ent.

CORN CROP.
Something of a Mirror of Its Con-

south of Wilcox township, Travelled early
in the week to G. W. Tunnels, sixteen
miles east. He reports corn in good con-

VIM. Davis, of Franklin township, was
in town on Wednesday. He says early
corn in that, the southwestern township
of the county, was nearly destroyed by
the drouth in the spring. The late corniis
looking well, and something of crop is
expected.
A. j. McCollum, of the Saline valley,
six miles northeast of Wa-Keeney, reports
the corn crop out there in a promising
condition.
O. A. Cortright, whose farm is five
miles southeast of Wa-Keeney, reports
the corn in good condition in his neigh
borhood.
Geo. V. York, living ten miles north
west of Wa-Keeney, says the early flint
corn which he planted has been killed by
the dry weather, but that his ordinary
yellow corn looks we'll. He speaks hope
fully of the corn crop in his neighbor-
hood.
Our Collyer correspondent says this
week: Farmers are all smiles. While
the rain came too late to save the flint
corn, other varieties promise fair CROP"
Ex-Sheriff Baker and Thomas Caddick
Travelled fourteen miles northeast of town
early in the week, returning by the way
of Ogahah. Mr.. Baker says they did not
see piece Of spoiled corn.
Aaron Adams, living some six miles a

he has one piece of poor corn and one
good piece. He expects something of
crop in his neighborhood if the rains con-
tinue timely.

CHARGES AGAINST COUNT OF
FICLALS,

The Tribune of last week contained an
editorial article charging County Commits
sioners Welch, Kessler and Ridgway with
having overdrawn their legal compensa-
tions in the year 1888. That paper relied
for its proof upon Section 13 OF the act
relating to counties and county officers,
which is as follows:
"The board of county commissioners
shall meet in regular session at the coun-
ty seat of the county, on the first Monday
of January, and the first Monday after the
first Tuesday of April, and the first Mon
days of July and October, of each year,
and in special session on the call of the
chairman, at the request of two members
of the board, as often as the interest of
the county may demand; ProU1ded, The
pay for such service, including all regular
and special meetings, shall never exceed
the sum of one hundred dollars for any
one year"
And upon Section Is, which seems to
to add force to Section 13.
Had the Tribune looked futhur, it would
have seen how deceptive the language of
that law is. The supreme court of the
state, to whose analysis of any given state
law all must bow, decided, at its January,
1883, term, that
eve (the supreme court do not think
that said S13 includes meetings OF the
county commissioners to equalize assess
ments, or to levy taxes, or to canvass cleo
ton returns.
The case which the supreme court
passed upon was from Norton county, and
the county board, as plaintiff, had secured
in the Norton county district court a
Judgment against A. S. Burroughs, a for
mer member, for having overdrawn the
100 per annum allowed by Section H.
Burroughs appealed to the supreme court.
Now, to come back home: The Tribune
claims that during the year 1883 our
county commissioners drew the following
amounts: WEIGH S165; Kessler Sl6S;
Ridgway, S159.
1t will be seen from the supreme court
decision, whose gist we have given above,
that these commissioners were entitled to
three dollars each per day, in addition
to the amount of 500 for the year, for
meeting to equalize assessments, to levy
taxes and to canvass election returns. It
will be seen plainly that this permissible
excess above the 500 annual pay includes
tina meetings to canvass the returns osthe
township elections, the returns OF the gen.
eral election, to levy taxes, and to sit as a
. board of equalization.
We have not the time to investigate, at
present, as to how many days were con-
sumed on these accounts in 1888. 1t is
sufficient to say that. when three dollars
for each commissioner for each day thus
employed is deducted from the amount
which the Tribune charges him as having
drawn, there will be no amount over 500
upon which to base the suggestion of
frand. The year 1883 was one which drew
heavily on the timeof the commissioners;
and the World, after taking the time to
look into the matter, has no doubt of their
complete innocence in the eyes of the law.
