ers have had this phase Of the case
under consideration and as a result
last Friday, November 90, 1896, was
set apart by the board for the consid-
Grafton of this perplexing problem.
County Attorney Woods as usual
had nothing to report and the usual
call for assistance was INDUCED in at
the same time claiming that as coun.
ty attorney he had absolutely control
of and dominion over the whole case.
As the board after nearly fifteen
months waiting had despaired ofre-
ceiving the necessary legal relief
from the source provided by the
people at the polls, the members in
Dictated that they would consider the
question of employing legal counsel
to assist the county attorney in the
case.
1t is at this juncture, that the wise
choice Of the people at the recent
election of the next county attorney
was demonstrated.
Mr.. Ivan D. Rogers, county attor-
ney-elect, had been watching the
proceedings, and asked permission
Of the board to say that at the recent
election he had been chosen, and il
he lived until January II, 1897, he
expected to fill the Office of county
attorney of Sumner county, Kansas.
That the law of Kansas makes the
county attorney the legal department
of the county, and prescribing his
powers and duties gives him the en-
tire management and control of the
public business of the people of the
county who elected him. That the
county commissioners have no more
power to contract with other parties
to perform his duties than the coun-
ty attorney has to appoint an addi-
tional county commissioner to assist
them in discharging their duties.
That the county attorney derives
his authority and power from a high.
er source than the board of county
commissioners; that he was chosen
by the people to administer the
county's legal affairs, and that what
he desired to impress on the board
was that having been so commits.
stoned by the people, he proposed
to do it, and expected to receive the
compensation provided by law in
such cases, which he considered am.
pie; and that as soon as he entered
upon his official dulles, he proposed
to take charge of and manage anC

control those cases under considera-
ton, no matter in whose hands the
board placed them by private con-
tract.
This statement from man elected
to the Office of county attorney was
a new thing to the board; didn't
sound like anything they had heard
come from that office for quite a long
time.
The board took a recess for recov-
cry after having received such a
shock from the man who is to fill the
office Of county attorney for the next
two years.
The board then proceeded to inves.
tigate the position of Mr.. Rogers on
the question at issue, and found that
that eminent jurist, Justice Valentine
Of the Kansas supreme court, in the
case of Clough VS.. Hart, reported
in Vol. s Of the Kansas Reports at
page 4S7, had used the following
language, which has several times
been affirmed and is now the settled
law Of the state, viz:
"The county attorney is elected
by the people Of the county, and
for the county. (Gen. Stat. p 9SS,
IS 1857 He is the counsel for the
county and cannot be superseded
cor ignored by the county commits
"sioners. His retainer and employ
"ment is from higher authority
than the county commissioners.
The employment of general at
torney for the county is not by the
claw put into the hands of the COM
missioners, but is put into the
"handS Of the people themselves.
"The county attorney derives his
authority from as high source as
"the county commissioners do

reasonable to say that the county
attorney could employ another
| aboard of commissioners to transact
the ordinary business Of the coun-
"ty, as it is to say that the county
commissioners can employ another
attorney to transact the ordinary
illegal business of the county. Both
would be absurd. 1t is the duty o.
Il" the county attorney to give lega
advice to the county commission
"ers, and not theirs to furnish lega
advice to or for him."

A LAWYER at Last.

A Lawyer at Last.
1t is very seldom that the benefits
to accrue to the public from change
Of county officials becomes apparent
before the officer takes his official
seat, but we congratulate the tax
payers of Sumner county, that such
has been the result of the late cleo
ton.
While the actual change does not
occur until January II, '97, yet some
ofthe benefcent effects of a change
of administration in the countyattor-
ney's Office were seen on last Friday.
As our readers we'll know at the
time Of suspension of the First Ma
tional and Sumner National banks
of this city, the county Of Sumner
was depoSitor therein to the extent
of about $4,000. These funds were
secured in addition to the assets of
the bank by the Fidelity and Deposit
Co., of Baltimore, Nd. It is need
less to say that with the exception of
a 10 per cent dividend amounting
10 about $4,000 paid by the Sumner
National bank the funds are all still
where they were at date Of suspen-
sion.
The board of county commission
ers have worried great deal about
this amount of the funds of the coun-
ty being tied up.
The legal department Of the coun-
ty seemed to be absolutely at sea,
when the subject was under consid-
Grafton; and upon the plea that no
county attorney should be charged
with the responsibility of attempting
to conduct such big lawsuit, the
matter stands just where it did fifteen
months ago. Meanwhile the board
of commissioners were of necessity
compelled to increase the levy oftax-
alton this year in order to obtain
from the tax payers, sufficient funds
to meet the expenditures of the coun.
ty, in view Of this $4,000 not being
accessible for that purpose.
During all this time County Attor
ney Woods has been drawing his sal
airy Of $500 per year and the Law
providing that in addition to thei
salary " county attorneys" "shall b,
allowed 5 per cent" "on all monte
collected by them" gin favor of tn
state or county"
Notwithstanding that this extr
compensation Of $4,000 was provide
for the county attorney if he woul
proceed and collect these funds VI
not wheel in the legal machinery {
the county has been turned lookin
in this direction.
The board Of commissioners hav
for year been appealed to by til
legal department Of the county
employ and furnish additional leg
counsel to aid it in this case and f
which the law already provide
$500 annual salary and special is
in this case Of $4,000. Be it said t
the credit Of the board, or that poi
ton thereof which withheld its gel
crosby, that it has persistently r
fused to bestow on other counsel tn
peoples money for services which ii
law prescribes is the duty of the cou
tyattorney and for which ample cor
pensahon is provided by law.

and influence exerted in various d
rections in favor of employing add
tional legal counsel to assist Il

There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We
refer to Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
When it is kept at hand the severe
pain of a burn or scald may be
promptly relieved and the sore healed
in much less time than when mrdi-
cine has to be sent for. A sprain may
be promptly treated before inhama-
ton sets in, which insures a cure ia
about one-third the time otherwise
required. Cuts and bruises should re-
ceive immediate attention, before the
parts become swollen, and when
Chamberlain's Pain Balm is applied it
will heal them without matter be 'ng
formed, and without leaving scar.
\ sore throat may be cured in one
night. A piece of flannel dampened
with this liniment and bound on over
the seat of pain, will cure lame back
four hours. 1t is the most valuable,
however, for rheumatism. Persons af-
hicted with this disease will be de-
lighted with the prompt relief from
pain which it affords, and it can be
depended upon to effect a complete
cure. For sale by all druggists ard

In Blows Away n Pile OF Money.
The days are long past when we Eng
lish sang in free and easy way:
Two Jolly Frenchmen and one Portugee,
One jolly Englishman could lick them all three.
We are ready enough now to give our
possible adversaries all credit for pluck
and perhaps for technical skill, and yet,
as regards practice in the use of their
weapons, we still have them at an i'm.
measurable disadvantage This factor
is commonly omitted from newspaper
comparisons, but it would probably have
more weight than any other in deter
mining the issue of an actual struggle.
Two duelists may each have lion hearts
and each the best Damascus blades, but
if one has ten times more practice in the
art of fencing than the other it is long
odds that he will win. So it is with our
navy. 1t has far greater knowledge Of
ships, acquired by actual firing practice,
than any other power. And the reason
of this is precisely because such knowl-
edge is very expensive thing to ac-
quire, and England is the only nation
that cares to afford it.
! LII Is pTODdDl6 UuaU WOeT0 rTdDC6,
the next naval power, spends a mil
lion in sea cruising and gun firing, we
spend five. From every gun in our navy
having caliber of 10 inches and under
there are fired each quarter eight rounds
of ammunition by way of practice and
from all guns heavier than 10 inch four
rounds quarter, irrespective of the ad-
ditional rounds used in the annual
''prize firing" The heavy expenditure
involved in this item alone may be hint
ed at by observing that every full round
fired from 8 inch gun costs ZIG, from
an 8 inch gun ESQ, from 10 inch gun
e123 and from the 49,. % inch, or 10
ton gun, as much as $500. And these
figures are only small part Of the
story, for the life Of very heavy gun
is not a long one, and though inch
gun can fire as many as 500 rounds, 70
or 80 full rounds are the limit of the
10 ton. After firing that amount they
will both require new inner tube, a
costly matter enough. -Chambers' Jour-
nal.
