Thew Sue the COUNTY.

Sheriff Herman F. Binte and Deputy
Sheriffs John B. Becker and John
Becker have appealed from the decis-
ion of the county board disallowing a
portion of their bills presented at the
last regular session of the county board.
The committee on sheriffs' accounts
very properly refused to allow certain
charges which were illegal and abso-
lutely unjust. 1t is our opinion after
an examination Of the bills, that the
committee should have gone further
and cut out large amount of exhorbi-
tant and unjust charges. In those cases
all the equity is in favor of the county
and if the county is ably defended we
have no doubt but what a judgment in
its favor will be entered. We have
heard a number of prominent citizens
of the county remark that they would
like to see General E. S. Bragg en-
ployed on the part of the county,

Waterworks at Court House.


The system of waterworks at the
court house, which was ordered by the
county board at its last session, and OF
which we made mention in previous
issue, has finally been completed to the
satisfaction of the building committee.
By changing the pump, the Rider hot
air engine, which Messrs. D. & F.
Kusel, of Watertown, furnished, now
pumps from 700 to 900 gallons per
hour, according to the speed, into the
200 barrel tank located in the attic of
quantity of water is taken from the
we'll, it still continues to flow at the
surface, which is certainly an indica-
tlon that the county will have ample
water for many years to come. Messrs.
d. q F. Kusel deserve the highest
praise for the perfect manner in which
they have installed the whole system
at the court house and jail AS mat
ter of fire protection alone to these i'm
portant buildings, the installation of
this system is invaluable and it's cheap
ness in cost and efficiency Of service
reflects high credit upon our county
board and upon the contractors, al
though the latter, owing to the errorin
calculation at first made by the engine
company, will probably come out be-
hind in their figures. Jefferson Banner

Free Libraries.

The Wisconsin legislature of 1895
provided for the establishment of the
Wisconsin Free Library commission,
whose duties are to give advice and
counsel ''to all free libraries in the
state, and to all communities which
may propose to establish them, as to
the best means OF establishing and
administering such libraries, the seec-
tion of books, cataloguing and other
details of library management. The
commission may also send it's MEM
bers to aid in organizing new libraries
or in improving those already estab-
lished." The commission includes
three ex-officio members and two ap-
pointed by thegovernor. The -officio
members are President G. K. Adams,
of the state university, State Super
intendent j. @. Emery and Secretary
R. G. Thwaites, of the State. Histori-
cal society. The members appointed
are Miss l.. E. Stearns, ofthe Milwau
kee public library, and f. A. Hutchins,
of Baraboo. Mr.. Hutchins is chair
man and Miss Stearns secretary.
The commission has prepared
handbook giving the text of the law
under which free libraries may be es-
tablished in Wisconsin, the general
arguments in behalf of such libraries,
hints AS to the arousing of interest in
them and suggestions to boards of
trustees and librarians who are
building up new libraries. These
hand-books will be sent free on APP
plication to the secretary.
The following list includes those
towns in which free libraries are in
practical operation: Milwaukee, Fond
du Lac, Neenah, Green Bay, Merrill,
Ashland .Oconomowoc, WestSuperior,
Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire, Menom-
onie (2), La Crosse, Sparta, Grand
Rapids, Beaver Dam, Fort Atkinson,
GAINESVILLE, Beloit, Monroe, Mineral
Point, Madison, Belleville, Washburn
and Wauwatosa Oshkosh is about
to establish library and other
towns are agtating the subject.
There is not only q growing interest
in the founding of free libraries but a
disposition to make those already es-
tablished more useful and more help
full to the public schools. The com
mission is not only willing but anx-
ious to help in both these lines and
will welcome the opportunity.

Watertown's Gusher.

Residents of Watertown, Wis, are
very proud of their new artesian we'll,
which is intended to supply the water
for the city's waterworks.
The work was done by S. Swanson,
of Minneapolis. Water was reached at
a depth of 525 feet, in great quantity
the flow being at the rate of 500 gallons
per minute. The we'll will be sunk
still further, to 200 feet if necessary
when Mr.. Swanson expects a flow OF
at least 1000 gallons per minute. 1t
was the intention of the city's authori-
tiles to sink several wells in order to Sc
cure an adequate amount, but it is now
believed that one will be sufficient The

CONGRESSMAN COOPER, of the First
Wisconsin district, does not agree with
the president in the opinion ex-
pressed in his message that reform of
the financial laws of the country will
bring relief to the treasury. "It will
be remembered" says Mr.. Cooper,
<'that no trouble was experienced
with respect to the gold reserve so
long as the Republicans were in pow
er, and their policies were in force. I
believe that if the treasury balances
were on the right side, even the exist
ing financial laws would be adequate
to the situation. am opposed to a
policy which makes only a deficit
certain, and continuing to raise rev.
enues by taxing our own people.
Such is the policy advocated by the
president, and I believe that it should
be met by the Republican majority in
the house with a proper measure for
increasing revenues along lines in &C
cordance with Republican principles.
[ believe the house will be able to
formulate such a bill, one that
will perhaps not meet with the entire
approval of -protectionists but
which will be AS strong in this partic-
ular as it would do to send to a SEN
ate wherein no party has majority,
or to a president who has so lately
expressed himself as still bitterly
hostile to the protective policy
