THE SUPERVISORS WORK.
Transactions OF the Board at Yesterdays
Session.


Session.
At yesterdays session of the County
Board of Supervisors, the busInes was
transacted as follows:
A communication was received from
c. b. Crosby, of Plymouth, giving an
exhibit of the costs of collecting taxes
under the proposed county system, and
what the costs are now under the State
system through the Auditor-General.
He estimates that $l95. 1850 would be
saved by the change. The communica-
ton was referred to the committee ap-
pointed to ask the Legislature to amend
the delinquent tax law.
The Building Committee reported
progress IN the construction of the
court house, and that the total pav-
ments on contract and for extras TO
date aggregate $ll0,053.95. The extras
amount to S10,S40.3S, including con-
crete for foundation and extra iron
anchors in various parts of the build
ing. The committee report: "In max
ing up the monthly estimates your
committee seek to carry out both the
spirit and letter of the contract, and
although the contractor himself sharp
ly dissents from the committee as to
the amounts allowed on these esti-
mates, we still are confident that we
have allowed payments quite as rap
idly as careful business prudence will
warrant. We have now left under the
contract S60,777.s3 as yet unused.
During the last month we have had a
careful and thorough estimate made
by our architect, Mr. Osgood, and
superintendent, Mr.. Woodward, of just
the amount required to finish the
building in exact accordance with the
contract. and this showing was
that while there was margin
remaining over and above what
it would cost to complete the building,
yet the margin did not amount 10 the
10 per cent. which the contract provides
should be retained. President Dicker-
son, of the Construction Company,
claims to have carefully prepared an
estimate showing a much smaller
amount required to complete the build
ing and he urges the committee to
make larger estimates. Until some
good and sufficient reason presents
itself your committee will follow the
tOlscINatitt COURSE ae HcIcloiOIt. ne
building has now so far advanced that
steps should be taken toward furnish
ing the court room and various Offices.
While the furniture and fixtures now
in use in the county offices may be
used in the new building it will be but
q small part of the furniture needed,
your committee are advised that firms
VINO make a speciality of furnishing
pubic buildings are ready to submit de-
signs and estimates for contracts. This
refers to firms ip our own city and else
where. We recommend that parties be
invited to present designs, plans and
estimates for furnishing the building
and submit the same, sealed, 20 the
board at the June session. We also re-
commend that estimates for elevator
and connections be submitted at the
June session." The report was adopted
and the recommendations coHcurred in.
The Building Committee also reported
that the plumbing work was being put
into the new court house aud recon-
mended that the electric wiring be put
n at the same time.

Liberty,

Oh, liberty thou art the God of my
idolatryl Thou art the only deity that
hates the Bonded knee. In thy vast
and unwalled temple, beneath the
roofiess dome, star-gemmed and
luminous with suns, thy worshipers
stand erect. They do not bow or
cringe, or crawl, or bend their heads
to the earth. The dust has never
borne the impress of their lips. Up
on thy sacred alters mothers do not
sacrifice their babes nor men their
rights. Thou asked not from men
except the things that good men hate,
tho whip, the chain, the dungeon key.
Thou hast no kings, no popes, no
priests to stand between their fellow
men and thee. Thou hast no monks,
no nuns, who in the name OF duty muir
der Joy. Thou carest not for form
or mumbled prayers. At thy sacred
shrine hypocrisy does not bow. Fear
does not crouch, virtue does not
tremble, superstition's feeble tapers
do not burn; bat reason holds aloft
her inextinguishable torch, while on
the ever broadening brow of science
falls the ever coming morning Of the
better day Ingersoll.

RAINFALL AND TEMPERATURE.
Population In tho United States Donsest
with Moderate Rainfall.

Population in tho United States Donsest
with Moderate Rainfall.
The census bureau has aseertained
that the main body Of the population Of
the country inhabits the region in which
the annual rainfall is between so and SO
inches, thrce-fourths Of the inhabitants
or thcreabouts being found there. On
either side, as the rainfall increases or
diminishes, the population diminishes
rapidly. .,
The arid region of the west, says the
Pittsburgh acknowledgement, where
the rainfall is less than 80 inchcs-a re-
gion which comprises two-ffths of the
entire area of the country-contains 1T
present less than 8 per cent. of the
population. The greatest density OK
population is in the area enjoying from
40 to 81 inches of annual rainfall, tho
average of this region being SO inhabit-
ants to the square mile.
The most favorable conditions of hui
man life would seem to exist where it is
neither too wet nor too dry, and we
have had an illustration of this lately
in the large increase of the death rate
from diseases induced or fostered by ex-
cessively wet weather.
The census bureau also investigated
the distribution of population with ref
erence to the mean annual tempera-
ture. Elaborate tables are given
which show that in 1870, 1880 and 1890,
more than half the population was liv-
ing under n temperature between As
and SO degrees, and that between As
and 60 were found from 20 to IS per
cent. of the inhabitants. Only trit1e
over per cent were living where the
temperature was greater than 20 de-
grces, while in the region whose tenn
pcrature was above IS degrees the num-
Der of inhabitants was tri1inE.
The number of inhabitants to the
square mile not only expresses the dem
sity of population but also gives a
comparative measure of the absolute
number and the increase in absolute
number.
The greatest density is and has been,
since 1870, where the temperature
ranges from so to So degrees. From
this as a maximum it diminishes rap
idly both with an increase and decrease
in temperature, The most rapid pro-
portional increase in population has
taken place ct the two extremes, where
it has treblcd during the twenty years
intervening between 1870 and 1890,
while in the same time it has increased
but 80 per cent. in the most densely set
led group.
The average annual temperature of
!. he United States, excluding Alasl1 q
rom consideration, is So degrees. The
average annual temperature under
which the people of the country live,
taking into account the density of set
Element, is practically the same.

THE OLDEST LIVING NAG.

A Kentucky Animal That Carries . Deep
scnr from the. Mexican War.
The oldest horse on record is owned
by Mai. Robert Mas, of Louisville, Ky,
who possesses papers proving it's age to
be something over forty-Seven years,
SAYS the Memphis Commercial. Ivan
hoe, as he is called, is large bay,
with Il white spot on his forehead, and,
up to II few years ago, of gentle, af.
fecJlonaJe disposition, puI has grown
pcevish and capricious with his increas-
ing age. This, however, is only shown
toward strangers, while he is devoted to
his master and his children, who play
about him with perfect fearlessness.
lvanhoe was stolen several times dur
ing the civil war, but invariably made
his way back in safety to his pasture,
having contrived in some way to escape
from his cnptors.
He bears on the right flank the scar
Of n gunshot wound received in the
Mexican war, at the battle OF Buena
Vista, while ridden by Mai. Mas
grandfather. 1t Is over thirty wears
Since Ivanhoe has known bride or har-
ness, but spends his days strolling about
his pasture, into which he will allow
no other horses to be placed, but will
resent all intrusions with vigorous
use of his teeth and heels. His facul-
ties all appear unimpaired, with the ex.
ccption Of total deafness, resulting
from severe attack of disease prev
alcnt few years ago.
Far from being feeble, Ivanhoe moves
brisltly about, and will often permit two
/ or three of the, younger children to
! mount and ride him about the pasture.
He has, however, lost nearly all of his
teeth, and lives upon boiled corn and
other soft food. lie made his last mp
pearance in public at the cattle fair held
in Lexington last fall, and came home
completely dcnuded of his name and
tail, by people securing thus relics OF
the oldest horse known.

Denver Titles.

DENVER, Oct. 29.-Property-owners in
Denver are terribly worked up over a
deed offered for record at the county
clerks Office this week. The deed il
made by jeff Hildreth to Martin E. Cole
and transfers to the latter 48O acres o.
land in the heart of the city of Denver
Title to the land is claimed by right OF
redemption, Hildreth claiming to have
settled on it and acquired a right Of pos
session thirty-two years ago and that he
has never been dispossessed of it. The
real estate exchange refuses to recognize
the validity Of the instrument, but they
will put up a large bond in order to pre-
vent it's going upon the records. The
land in question is worth several mill
ions, and should the deed be sustained
by the court it will involve hundreds of
citizens in endless litigation. The gen.
eral impression, however, is that the deed
is worthless.
