The Road Records.

The Dispatch goes crazy over the
terrible condition Of the road records
of this county, and Of course lays the
blame all upon the popullsts. The
last entry made upon the road record
by county clerk, was made by Mr..
Barnes in October, 1890. AT that
time the entire county was controlled
by the republicans. The road record
was taken from the clerks office, and
placed in the surveyors office, and it
is supposed that the latter officer was
to keep the work up, The commits
sioners proceedings do not show by
what authority this change was made
In 1890 Mr.. Graf, who has since died
was employed to bring the roads up
this was done, and it may be possible
that these records were taken from
the one Office to the other at that
time, and the surveyor kept them up
ever since.
Mr.. Arnold took his seat in Janu-
airy, '92, served two years and was
succeeded by MIR. Thornton in "a

Pratt in looking up the law regard
ing roads, as the county is defendant
in several road cases, discovered that
the road records should be kept in
the clerks Office, and very properly
called the attention of the Commls-
sioners to the fact, 80 that now they
are where they belong. The records
were taken away during republican
rule, and if they are in the awful
condition that the Dispatch claims
It's party must shoulder the blame
However the road records are not IN

Mr.. Hugunln's Fees.

The Dispatch twists up a sad story
of some campaign liar who charges
Mr.. Hugunin with getting forty cents
for filing seed grain notes, and as
usual makes blunder after blinded,
and says; IF Mr.. Hugunin had ex-
acted the fee in advance as he had a
right to do, he would have had 5000,
and could have invested 1t in county
warrants so as to be bringing him in
"a per cent interest, but instead he
has not received a single penny"
Now what are the facts: Every man
who received seed grain from the
county, had to give note for the
grain, together with forty Gently addi-
tional for recording and releasing.
At the July meeting of the COM
r1lssioners Mr.. Hugunin filed bill
for $203,55, for recording seed notes
which amount was allowed, and
warrant No. 1902 was issued for the
same. This warrant was presented
for payment, but not paid for want of
funds, and now is drawing 6 per cent
interest. The warrant is at this writ
ing at the county clerks office. Some
time ago the Dispatch said that the
seed grain notes would give Mr.. HUI
gunin $500 worth of recording. Pos
sibly the Dispatch is a "yillianous
liar and assassin of private character. "
We certainly hope that no populist is

Mr.. Thornton's Case.

A correspondent who signed his
name "Kansastater," seems to have
stirred up a hornets nest In a COM
munication published two weeks ago.
Mr.. Thornton asks us to publish the
facts regarding his bill of SIG, and
we will endeavor to do 80. A year
ago last spring he called the attention
of the commissioners, when they were
in his Office, but not in session; to the
fact that the law did not require him
to make out a list of lands for the as.
SCISSORS, one of the commissioners
called his attention to the fact that
section 6,903 says: The county clerk
shall deliver to the assessors on or be-
fore the first day of March IN each
year in which an assessment of real
estate is made a list of the taxable
lands or town lots in his township or
city as the case may be, which list
shall show the assessed valuation of
such lands or town lots at the last
preceding assessment. Upon this
Mr.. Thornton made out the lists, and
presented a bill for SIG When the
bull came up for payment the com
missioners objected to allowing it, and
by mutual consent it was referred to
the Attorney General, who said that
the county was not liable The COM
mlssioners then rejected the bill and
advised Mr.. Thornton to get his pay
from the assessors, twenty-five of
whom put in a bill to the county for
$500 each, and the money $500, was
turned over to Mr.. Thornton. In
some cases Mr. Thornton advised the
assessors to put in a bill for $6 each,
and TO pay HIM "a Of the amount, the
assessor to retain g. None of the
assessors however did so.
The Dispatch says that Mr, Thorn
ton saved the county at least 1916 by
making out the rolls, and that Mr..
Arnold owes the county $649. In as
much as MIR. Arnold did this work
and received no pay for it, it may
possibly be an act of justice to him
for the county to allow him 1915 for
his work. If 1t IS worth that much
for MIR. Thornton to do the work, 1t is
worth equally as much for Mr.. Arnold
The law regarding the making out
the tax lists in another place says:
$500. Each assessor shall make

afflicted with nervous disorder, but was
careless, apparently indifferent to the out
come or he may have lessened his chances
for recovery by treating with physicians
who had little CT no knowledge of such af-
fections, or by deluging himself with worth
less so-called remedies. His case was q sad
one, but no worse than that of any other
nervous sufferer, who has nervous or sick
headache, biliousness, dizziness, irritabilityt
melancholy, failing memory, hot flashes,
fainting, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia,
sexual debility, epilepsy, etc. The same or
similar consequences are likely to result to
any one who has any of these advance
symptoms of an awful end. Do not hesitate

in Roman times. 1t seems that it was q

until the last few years. Excavations dem
