A Fair Warning,

The following from the Peters
burg News (Republican) is a iair
warning to the Democrats OF Dupois
county. as to the way the Repubii-
cans expect to mix things in Du-
bois c.:unty at the November eiec-
ton over the Judgeship. But II
anv republican made the assertion
that Hundreds Of democrats havn !
sense enough to stamp their ballots
the way they want to vote. II was
q moor tribute to the intelligence OF
his neighbors, and the ballots VIII
show it is not true. But, ITO De
forewarned is forearmed" and there
i no question but every voter Will
know how to stamp with care, and
every democratic nominee will get
the full poll. The vote between
Traylor and Ely will be determined
when either Of them gets the Demo-
cratic nomination.
.The action Of the convention
was the wisest possible-the loglca
result Of a majority OF forty -tw.
leading and representative Repuolii
cans-Republicans chosen by thel
: political parties in the two countle

J niece of political wisdom, tor

Traylor, Of Jasper, continues to

| I find that there have been no permits for
the sale of Intoxicating liquors. since 1888, a
date prior to the period covered by this ex-
animation. therefore make no report with
reference to the fee collected for issuing
permits and the return of .-liquor affidav-
[, its which belong to the county general fund.
Clerks of the District Court
Stenographer Fees
find that during the period covered by
the examination that your different clerks
have accounted for these fees by having the
| county treasurer receipt the docket for the
same, except in four cases during the term of
MIR. Metz. and during all the time Mr.. Nutz
served you The fees collected by Mr.. Nutz
amount to S13-50; and while the statute pro-
vides for the payment of this fee to the
county treasurer, it has been the custom to
turn over the funds on hand to their success
ors in office.
Your present clerk received from his pre-
decessor. Mr.. Hutzel. sum that corresponds
with this amount which had come to him
from Mr.. Nutz his predecessor. Neither Mr..
Hutzel nor Mr. Gibson know what funds the
same was supposed to cover. 1t is therefore
reasonable to believe that the same covered
the stenographer fees collected during the
term of Office of Mr.. Nutz. and Mr.. Gibson
has paid the amount. S73 so. to the county
treasury.
1t might not be out of place here to call
your attention to the fact that in 1898 the
Legislature passed a law providing that in all
mortgage foreclosure cases where the stenog-
pher was not actually employed to take
testimony, no stenographer fee should be
charged. Acting under that law. your clerk
has not charged the fee in number of cases.
The supreme court declared this section of
the Law unconstitutional and the stenogra-
pher fee should therefore be charged in all
cases.
jury Fees
Under this head find that it has not been
the custom to charge Jury fee in civil
cases. 1 call your attention to Section No.
3041. Compiled Laws 1889, and recommend its
adoption.
1 find that all the fines shown to have been
collected by your different clerks, have been
paid to the county treasurer.
Witness and Appraisers Fees
Under this head find that it has not been
the custom to observe Section 1868. Compiled
Laws 1899. which reads as follows:
1T shall be the duty of the clerk of the
ing to any other persons. to hold the same
subject to the order of the persons entitled
thereto. and to pay the re-
quest; and if such fees shall not be called for
the officer shall pay the same into the
county treasury and take a receipt therefor"
From the fee book find that there wit
ness fees remaining in the hands of your diff
ferent clerks as follows. except noted:

Free Coal and Seed Grain Distribution

In the matter of the distribution of free
coal and seed grain" / have to say that this
subject is one that partakes more of an in
dividuaI opinion than of an expert examine
tion of accounts. As my opinion would be of
no more value than that of any other. 1 re-
frain from giving it. believing statement of
the facts they appear on record will better
show what done in this matter and
enable you to form unbiased opinion of
the business of the claim allowed for this
purpose
At the regular session of the state legis-
lature i'm 1895. that body passed three bills
two on the subject of free coal and one on
the subject of seed grain Those with
reference to coal" were chapters l. and 40
at pages 43 and SO respectively in the session
laws of 1895 Chapter 242 at page 3I. same
laws. refers to seed grain" careful pc
rusal of these bills does not show that any
provision made for the payment of any
sum for the distribution of free coal but
section of chapter 242. which refers to seed
grain" reads AS follows:
The b oard of county commissioners shall
receive the sum of two dollars per day for
the time actually employed in carrying out
the provisions of this act, but such compen-
sation shall not exceed the sum of twenty
dollars for each Commissioner the same
