More County fraud.

This week We have examined little
deeper into the affairs Of the county hos
pita and have become more and more
convinced OF the rottenness Of that in.
stitution as carried on by the late con.
tractor, DIR. j. Z. Lappeus
In the matter OF the care, etc., OF II
B. Cox the hospital books show that the
amount charged was $l6 50, while Lap.
peus presented bill for and collected
from the county the sum of $3l 95 A
omparison OF the whole bill presented
by L,ppeus for the quarter with the hos
pital books shows that that gentleman
collected an excess OF $40 80. This was
quite nice little sum for the doctor to
tuck away in his inside pocket.
Again a matter has been brought to
our notice in regard to one of the patients
who recently died in the county hospital,
John Bartel. At the time Mr. Bartel
entered the hospital, so we are informed.
he had several hundred dollars and was
the possessor OF fine gold watch and
chain. At the time Of his death he had
thirty dollars in his pockets and, it was
alleged by former friend, had more on
deposit in one Of the business houses in
this town. There seems to be little use
In inquiring into these matters because
the board of supervisors, whose duty il
is TO look after the financial affairs Of
the county, will not pay any attention
whatever to representations OF fraud and
peculations from the county treasury.
The physician employed by the county
should have charge of the hospital at
White Hills, but the board in its wisdom
saw ut to delegate powers to parties in
that place to look after the sick when at
the time it had no more power to do 80
than any ordinary citizen. A contract
was let to j. Sed Dean, about the first
OF January, to take care of the INDECENT
sick OF this county and if there is any
sick to take care OF in any part OF the
county it is the duty Of the physician
under that contract to assume charge.
Therefore all moneys paid out by the
supervisors in White Hills could be col.
lected from the supervisors or their
Dondsmen. Especially is this the case
where physician fees have been paid out
where the so.called physician was simply
a nurse. The various Gums paid to s. j.
Bagley could be collected from the rd,
as Bagley had no deploma on file as re.
quired by law, and the fact Of his filing
such bills for services as physician sub
jected him to arrest and imprisonment
There is strong probability Of the
law phase of these matters being looked
into carefully in the near future.

Senator Chandler, Of New Hampshire,
has scheme for the reconciliation Of
silver. II is in effect that a monetary
conference of all the nations CT the earth

and, in the even, Of failure to agree, tina,
each separate state agree on the single

this proposition.

A bitter fight will be made by the lead
miners Of the west against the proposed
reduction OF the tariff on lead ores. The
same rule applies to lead miners as to
that OF other producers and we see no
reason why the duty should not be
stricken off. The greatest good to the
greatest number is the motto of the west
as well as that Of the democratic party.
