money ia covered into the treasury, they

bonds since, we have had the denominations
stipulated in the contract.
COUNTY EXPENSES.
"While investigating the causes of the in
creased Indebtedness of the County, we have
been met by the Auditor and Commissioners
with the statement that 1t is impossible to
ruu the County on the amount of taxes that
ent valuation" We must emphatically deny
the truth of theabove statement.
1t is the intention of the undersigned to
run the business of the County on an eco
nomical and straig ltforward plan. To allow
no bill which is exorbitant or unjust, nor to
discriminate or make allowances in favor of
any persons not entitled to the same or not
allowed by law.
Had we been required by law to pass on
the justness of the bill of said Committee for
their labor ($126 apiece for making said re-
port, counting actual number of days devot-
ed on said report, the above resolution
or intention would have sunk 'out of sight"
for shame, or an allowance made for half of
said sum.
If this Committee had gone more accord
ing to "cus.om," (Which custom they so em-
phatically denounce in their criticisms of the
Auditors allowance), in regard to the time
used in making said report, or what is re-
ceived in other Counties for the same work,
they would have made the report in or s
days instead of AZ days.
Respectfully submitted,

Treasurer's fees. including clerk hire,
amounting to $c275, instead Of being taken
from all funds, is now required by the Gar
Der Law to be paid out Of the county fund.
The amount paid for making new indices
at the Recorders Office. including books for
same, Is over 5000. We are not RESPONSE
hle for the contract warranting this expen-
diture, for said contract was entered into
before this board entered upon their duties
as Commissioners. These two amounts
alone more than account for the increased
Indebtedness in the said county fund.
BRIDGE FUND.
We deny, and can fully substantiate the
fact that their statement, "That the con-
tracts for stone work for bridges are eft by
private contract, Ia entirely grouudless,
that this Board of Commissioners has never
let any stone work without giving due no.
tice in each instance that work will be let at
public outcry to the lowest bidder, and that
this Board never made the statement that
such work will not last to exceed 10 or II
years." In no case has this Board paid over
sixteen dollars per cord for such work.

No. 700 as fair sample showing the expense
of locating county ditch. To disabuse the
minds of your readers concerning this state
ment, we give synopsis of the proceedings
of the above named ditch.
The petition was filed Dec. 18th, 1890,
with George Russell, Auditor. The Joint
Board viewed the same and reported June
Sth, 1891, and ordered the engineer to survey
the same as petitioned for. The first hear
ing was set for the 18th day of Sept, 1891
a quorum not being present further proceed
ings were adjourned until the 29th of Sept.
1891, at which time petition signed by var
ious parties was presented for the extension
of said improvement. The Joint Board then
+, adjourned until Oct. 9th. 1891, to give them
time to view the route of extension. On
said Sth day October, the Board found in
favor of said extension and ordered the Aud
itor to notify the Engineer to survey and
level the route as extended and to report the
same before Nov. 9th, 1891. The Board met
on Nov. 5th 1891, pursuant TO adjournment,
at which time they found that the Engineer
had not sufficient time to make his said re-
port. They then adjourned until Dec. 2lst,
1891. The Board found that additional
claims for compensation and damages had
been filed, therefore adjournment was had
until the 18th day of January, 1892 On said
day petition for cutoff was filed by VIM.

adjourned until Feb. 3, 1892. at which time

the debt of $572. I6 lost on special work, and
have balance OF $3665.33. which is $29.02
less than the Auditor is entitled to receive
for 27i4 months service on direct salary
alone. But this sum is every cent that he
has left after paying clerks for work actual
ly performed. which is a monthly compen.
sation of $1S32S. which is $1.06 per month
less than the law allows the Auditor of Hen
~ county on the basis of population alone,
and after condemning the Commissioners
for allowing. and him for accepting illegal
fees. it turns ont that he has proven himself
a very stupid thief for not securing at least
his legal salary of $134.34 per month. This
Committee surely must have noticed the
bills of the Prosecuting Attorney allowed
and paid during the year, and it seems
strange that not one word was said in that
report in reference to any of these bills; per-
haps they were all as economic as was desir
ed by this Committee for this particular Of
fee, which will soon have to be occupied by
new incumbent. The Auditor thinks that
these two members might have struck blow
at extravaganza and immortaliZed them
selves by making truthful comment on
some of these bills allowed and paid this Of
ficer, who above all oehers should teach aud
practice economy after beng SO literally
paid for legal advice to County officers, but
with an unparalleled ingratitude for unpre-

and ungratefully signs report con-
demning innocent officers. The Auditor has
no desire to wrong any man, and in neither
malicious nor indicative spirit, but in an
; ingenious spirit of honor and integrity,
| he will submit the following state
| ment, to-wit: From the 14th day of
September. 1891, to January 1st, 1894, the
Prosecuting Attorney has drawn from the
| Treasury of Henry county on forty-three
| different warrants issued from the Auditor
office the sum of $6322.29 compensation for
| salary, services rendered, and expenses. He
reports to the Auditor of State the sum OF
$206. 25 as clerk hire paid for the two years
preceding September 1st, 1898, and for the
| four succeeding months at the average
monthly rate for clerk hire reported for last
year, this sum would be increased to the ex-
tent of $67.0S, making total of $27333,
which, lat that rate, would leave for incumbent
the sum of S604S.96 or $2l9.96 per month or
| $8.45 per day for TIC days. Now if this Of
ticer has been employed all this time as has
been the Auditor and Lis clerks, then this
statement does justice to him, but if any
part of this time has been devoted to other
work then he has all the advantage of this
additional time.
| The Auditor takes no pleasure in this con-
troversy, but he has been brought into
| line in the defense of himself, and indirect
| ly in defense of all who have been misrepre-
sented in this report, and as this committee
has referred to the Auditor and Commits
sioners uniustly in connection with the diff

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an inhamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have a rumbiing or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition. hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
is nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
