A Slight Misunderstanding.

A prominent lady, northwest
of town, stepped into large grocery
store in Mexico this week to pur-
chase some sugar. She asked the
efficient clerk how he sold it by
the barrel and he replied five fifty.
Mrs. -, remembering the de-
cline in the price recently, told the
clerk she would just take barrel
and for him to have it put in her
wagon, which he did. On going to
settle her bill she was much sur
prised at its amount, as it was a
little less than $40. She took the
barrel of sugar and the clerk has
been trying to sell every lady
who comes in the store a whole
hogshead every since. The sales
man meant sugar could be sold at
5 lie. per pound by the barrel,
and the lady thought sugar was
selling at $3.50 per barrel, since
the Mckinley bill had become a

Audrain to be a Dry County.
A Recount and Reinstatement
of The. Law Demanded.

through their attorney, s. W.
Buckley with writ Of mandamus
signed by ]. L. Smith, presiding
judge of Kansas City Court of Ap.
peals, ,returnable on the 11th day ot
May, commanding that the vote be
re-counted, and that if any irregu.
larity might have occurred, to be
corrected. The vote stood l ,256 as
opposed to selling Intoxicating
liquor outside of Mexico, and 1,12G
in favor of selling liquor. The
Kansas City Court of Appeals re.
Gently decided a similar case in
Ray county. The following ex.
tract from the opinion, shows the
position the court takes in regard
to the questions involved:
"We are thus called upon to de.
eide whether the omission of the
clerk to cast the vote within the
time limited by the law bars or
prevents its being done afterwards.
The statute is as follows:
Sec. 55O6. "The clerk OF each
County Court shall, within five
days after the close of such elec-
ton, take to his assistance two
Justices of the Peace of his county
or two judges Of the County Court,
and examine and cast up the votes
given" !
"We are not in doubt as to what
is the proper construction of this
section. Its true meaning is this ::
That to the end that there may be
no unnecessary delay in the result
of an election. The clerk is COM
manded to ascertain that result
within five days. The statute does
not 60 to the election, but merely
to the action of the clerk. 1t i'm
poses upon him a duty which he
ought to perform as directed, but
it no where attempts to relieve him
of that duty in case he fails to per-
form it within the time stated. In
other words, the statute does not
absolve him from performing this
important duty, merely for the rea-
son that he failed to perform it as
he should have done. This statute
enacts two things; one, duty ; the
other, a time for its performance.
The duty must be performed as re-
quired by the statute. 1t should
be done within the time stated, but
if not, it yet remains a duty. II
is altogether unreasonable to say
that because an officer willfulIy, OF
inalvertantly, fails to perform 8
duty effecting the rights of others
or, of the public, within the time
commanded, that he will thereby be
excused from performance after.
wards. II there was any good rea
son for such construction we woulc
give it effect, but in the absence oi
any we shall not do so, especially
as auch Interpretation of the Law
would nullify elections in all cases
where, from any cause, the time
had passed without performance
The case shows that respondent
endeavored to perform his duty a,
he understood it, and we are not in
clined to permit an honest miscon
struction of the statement to abro
gate the election. A pre-emptory
writ will be awarded. All concur. >
