There will be a house cleaning in
the sheriff's Office the 18th day of Jan
uary, 1896.
There will be a new landlord at the
Sumner County Hotel after January
!, 1896, and what relief it will be to
find a man in charge.
The case Of D. NJ. Osborne & Co.
against A. Graf, tried in the district
court in the fall of 1890 was argued in
Supreme court on the 7th inst. c. E.
Elliott appeared for Osborn & Co.,
and Thomas George and W. W
Schwinn for Mr.. Graf.
Now that the Doubleday Fee and
Salary law has been in force since
January, 1894, wonder if Sheriff S. S
WOOdcOck will return to the proper
parties the hundreds of dollars of il.
legal fees exacted by him? Come,
Still, be man and square up with
the boys.
The court house fee grabberS sent
upa wall of woe when they learned Of

District Clerk J. D. Simpson mournS
over the direful calamity and says
when Murphy gets on the board
trouble begins. Simpsons bills have
been allowed in full by the present
board.
The case of State VS.. W. ]. New
bold. involving the cOnstitutionality
OF the Doubleday fee and salary law,
was reversed by the Supreme court
last Saturday. This is the case in
which his Honor, Judge ]. A. Bur-
nette, handed down a long opinion
holding the law unconstitutional. 1t
is unfortunate for our great constitu-
tiOnal Judge that the Supreme court
had the last guess. W. ]. Newbold
will now have the pleasure Of turning
over to the county about $500 which
he has wrongfully withheld during
the past year. James Lawrence was
attorney for the State and W. W.
Schwinn for Newbold.
Gessrs. Peters & Nicholson, of New
ton, Kansas, attorneys for the Fidel-
lily and Trust Company, the surety on
the First National Banks bond, mott.
fed the commissioners that it would
be necessary for the county to file its
claim with the receiver of the bank,
and when the claim was allowed by
the receiver, the Fidelity and Trust
Company would have something to
work on. This means delay and We
fear it will be good long time before
the county will get the 9,S96.37 tied
up in the defunct bank. Commits
sioner ESpy's salt works fuancieriDg
will soon get all the county funds
sailed down for keeps. The same
surety is on the bonds for the other

Trying to Be Facetious.
lake County Patrict.l

What is the matter with Kenosha,
anyway? Are the city fathers still
under the hypnotizing influence of that
big official blow out, or what?
On Friday of this week they forward
ed to City Clerk Thacker an itemized
bill against the city of Waukegan for
$65.O0, which they claim due to the
city of Kenosha for surgical attention,
board, etc., given to Lon Ward.
Lon Ward! Why, there was such a
party used to live here, but we believe
he has not been resident for several
years past, and what of it, anyway
The city of Waukegan don't owe him
anything as we know of.
And if he chose to move up to that
back number place, known on the map
as Kenosha, and fill up on club house
tanglefoot whiskey, and trip up on one
of her defective sidewalks, which are
very numerous, and break leg, that's
his own little popularity, not ours, and
either he or Kenosha viii have to stanC
the damage. $50 did you say, Mrs
Kenosha? Well, we guess not.
[Waukegan's board of aldermen once
acknowledged the claim to be a jus
one and said it ought to be allowed
but it seems by the above that that cit.
| is not in the habit of paying its debts
