Yours respectfully,
NICHOLAS BERG, County Treas
The committee recommends that the above re-
port be accepted and placed on file.
The Finance committee made the following
criticism in regard to the way the records were
being kept by the clerk and treasurer:
To.The Honorable, The Board Of Supervisors
of Wood county, Wisconsin:
Gentlemen.-Your Finance committee having
been assigned various reports OF certain OF the
county officers Denomination and consideration
desire to state that we have looked these
reports and we find that the amount of money as
shown on hand by the reports of the county
clerk and county treasurer is correct but with
reference to the books of these two Offices while
there is evidence OF m1sappl1cat1on OF any OF
the county funds its interests, apparent, there
is ample evidence Of errors of entry discovered by
us in the limited time wehave had to make exam-
nation these errors in entry seeming to be lack of
understanding the part OF the present clerk
and treasurer to properly keep the books and
papers in conformity with the heretofore estab-
lished methods. Some of these errors now made,
the number and character of which your COM
mittee can not determine without a thorough
examination from beginning of present term OF
office January 7th 1895 in detail, may be Or lead
to serious complications in the future if not speed
lily adjusted while there exists liability of farther
matters of similar character
Now, Therefore your committee would recon-
mend that your honorable body employ or en-
power the Finance committee to employ suitable
person or persons to examine and correct such
errors as may be found to exist, in any Of the
Offices properly coming under jurisdiction of this
committee determine the exact standing Of said
officers with the county, and establish the proper
methods Of keeping the accounts and papers for
balance of terms of said officers.
We also recommend the purchase of a suitable
new County Land Book and the purchase Of new
"Abstract of Sales" book both for the county
clerks office, Immediately, and have same properly
written up. Respectfully,
L. NJ ALEXANDER, Chairman,
CHAs. HEUER,

HUMBUGGED!

Was it nightmare?
1t seemed to be space of some
three days. The passions of the peo-
pie were moved tremendously. Mill
ions on millions of hearts wildly
throbbed with tumultuous emotions.
A message from the President of
the land had kindled the martial en-
thusiasm, the glowing patriotism of
the people, For our honor, our in
terest, our pride were at stake. And
we said he should fight the bully
Britons rather than suffer their inso-
lence.
At his word the country leaped up
as one man.
Congress did his bidding. They
gave him the Investigating commits
sion he requested. They gave him as
much money as should be required.
He shall choose the commissioners.
He desired to have it so. Its opera
tions shall go on as long as he will
even until November, 1896.
Then an immense sensation Surged
like a tempest through the markets
and exchanges of the world. The
chuckling ShylOcks reaped vast
profit from the common, honest man.
for all prices ran down, and Growers
friends on Wall street and Lombard
street swept in the plumber. But at
last the wreckage was unmanageable
and a huger devastation became viSi-
BILE. Then the Shylocks began to cry
Hold Enough!
Meanwhile crafty Grover was trying
to wrest from Congress in it's excite
ment another big block of plumber in
the form of an authorized bond issue
But Congress began to smell mischief
and stared aghast!
Hold! Enough! cried Wall street
and Lombard street.
Then Grover called the command.
ing officer of the army and said: '"Tell
those d fools that we have only
three guns to protect our shores, and
war-talk is an absurdity for us fol-
years to come"
Has the country been fooled?
Has Congress been fooled?
Is it possible? Is it a dream? Great
God? The cowardly fraud!-[ Leaven-

in destitute circumstances. 1t will
appear from this that fanaticism is
still to be found in the churches of
Kansas and of kind SO gloomy, dense
ly ignorant that we can't help being
reminded of the dark ages when on
account of religious fanaticism and
moderation blood flowed like water.
We don't believe that a circumstance
like the above could possibly occur in
many communities in Kansas or the
United States for that matter. Such
fanaticism is akin to anarchism and
can never flourish on American soil.
We have scarcely words to express our
supreme contempt for such self-styled
christians They haven't brains
enough to become christians although
their names may appear on the church
register. There is nothing personal
NOR local in these remarks. Our
preachers and church members are too
practical and broad minded and have
too much business sense to make it
possible that such thing could ever
occur here. "He that proVideth not
for his own family is worse than an
infidel" comes from the highest au-
thority and no genuine christian can
ever disregard that precept. There
is not now and never can be any war
between the A. o. U. w. and kindred
organizations and the church.

FULLY SCOTT has declared in favor
of fusion between Populists and DEM
OcratS in this state next fall. Tully
should get possession of that letter
he wrote A. III. Cox about eighteen
months ago.-[Gove County Leader
Tully Scott is nothing but a tin
horn politician. Last year he wrote
an open letter opposing fusion from
principle and said, that Though the
heavens should fall' he could not and
would not sacrifice his manhood and
political principles by advocating
fusion. He said much more in the
same strain. The letter can be pro-
duced any time. Now he is advocat-
ing fusion more strongly if possible
than he opposed it year ago. He is
only making himself ridiculous in his
desperate attempts to break into
some party or other and we trust he
will succeed. Tully Scott is a very
small man with an inordinate desire
for distiction. Our local pride-Mr.
Scott having at one time been a resi-
lent OF Wa-Keeney -constrains us to
draw our criticism as mildly as posi-
bly, which we have certainly done in
view of all the facts.

THE Leavenworth Times gives it
out that Cyrus Leland and his lieu
tenants have already decided who
shall be delegates to the Republican
National convention from Kansas.
The Times is little inclined to be
sensational on political subjects
and it may not have taken proper pre-
cautions to verify this rumor before
giving it to the public as a fact. Last
week we decided that Cyrus himself
should be delegate at large and gave
our reasons, but if we discover that
he is naming all the rest we will re-
tract what we said then and will de-
eide that he must not go. We dislike
very much to be compelled publicly to
take anything back but we will do it
in this instance. Seriously if Mr.. Lee
land intends to assume the attitude
of political dictator the sooner he is
deposed the better and when the time
comes his lieutenants VIII all go down
with him.

IF Judge Sutton is candidate for

make this statement as a surmise
merely but from expressions made by
our republicans. Judge Sutton is a
man of ability, is peculiarly interested
in western Kansas and is neighbor.

Brother Cook, of the Cove County
Gazette, is evidently under conviction
but just what direction his discrimi-
mating mindwill eventually take seems
to be predetermined right at this mo-
ment. In his last issue he says that
Cove county is unanimous for ingalls,
not even excepting himself and he
says it in such way that it is evil
dent he is proud of it. In another
column he pronounces the following
eulogium upon Judge Sutton:
''Some of the papers that are preju-
diced with Judge Sutton's nativity
thinks his being a New Yorker, and
so recently from that state, units
him to be United States senator from
Kansas. From what we know of
Judge Sutton, he is intensely Kansan
and we know of no one we would
rather trust with our interests than
the Judge, and we believe that the
new representatives elected to the
legislature next year will attend to
the business. we will have a western
man for the next United States sena-
tor from Kansas"

IT appears that the people of the
United States are not SO unanimous
for war over the Venezuela question
as was Indicated last week Mass
meetings have been held in New York
and elsewhere to protest against the
Presidents war message and the war
sentiment. Notwithstanding the
President struck the responsive chord
when he delivered that message to
Congress and if we understand the
sentiment of the American people
there will be no bulldozing by Great
Britain over the Venezuela matter.

THERE will be no holiday recess for
Congress this year. The President is
in another dilemma and the Republi-
cans are called upon to assist the adj
ministration. A bill was introduced
on Thursday to increase the revenues
and prevent deficits in the treasury.
This will be known as the tariff bill
and will become law when signed by
the President and will remain in
effect until August l, 1898, when by
its provisions it's operations will cease.
Another bill was introduced as an
emergency bill and provides for the
issuing of per cent. five year bonds.
