THE COUNTY CASE.

During any time for the past
dozen years or more those who at.
tend courts and legislatures have
been familiar with troubles arising
over the indebtedness of old Alturas
county. These troubles have not
yet been settled, Notwithstanding
the fact that the legislature has
time and again dealt with the
question, making numerous efforts
to bring about an adjustment. The
last legislative effort was in the
creation OF the new counties of
Blaine and Lincoln by acts approx
ed March 5 and March II, 1895,
and the latest appearance of the
old trouble in court was on Satur.
day. when the suit brought by
Blaine against Lincoln for an ac-
counting was argued before Judge
Stewart.
When Alturas ard Logan cour-
ties were abolished and Blaine
county created out of their terri
tory, the county of Lincoln being
Immediately afterward set off from !
Blaine, a method was provided by
the legislature for adjusting the in
1ebtedness of the two old counties
between the new ones. Under this
legislation Messrs. Lalk and Mall
)ry were appointed by Lincoln and
Blaine counties respectively as ac-
,ountants. They made report of
he amount which Lincoln county
hould pay to Blaine in settlement

B. Kingsbury and Lyttleton Price
for Blaine, Mr.. Kingsbury formally
moving for judgment for $685.
3S1.O9,
The attorneys Tor Lincoln county
first challenged the jurisdiction OF
the court. They held that the ac
countants were agents of the legis
ldture and that their conclusions
could not be reviewed by the court
The only remedy available for any
injustice was in appeal to the legis
lature. This contention was reiter
ated by Mr.. Williams at every point
throughout his argument. They
also contended that the language
of the statute with reference to the
value of the court house must be
followed and that it was necessary
to deduct the amount from Lincoln's
portion of the debt. The recent
decision of the supreme court in
the usury case came in for a good
share of consideration IN connection
with the referees rejection of the
item of compound interest, the
Lincoln attorneys insisting that his
action was correct and the repre-
of Blaine as vigorously
it. The gentlemen rep
resenting Blaine county maintained
that the court had jurisdiction.
The accountants had not properly
discharged their duties, they had
lot followed the law providing for
heir appointment. and it was COM
,etent for the court to review their .
cts ana correct any error. The
was concluded at an eve
ing session.

Lincoln assessment of 1894, upon
which the apportionment was to be
made, was $1,011, ,479.5S and the
Blaine assessment 81 ,399, ,310.71.
The accountants found the net debt
of the two old counties which was
to be apportioneG to be $411,3S1.73.
Blaine claims it should have been
S570,603.35. The accountants fixed
Lincoln's percentage of the debt at
ALL and Blaine's at $50. Blaine
county claims the percentage should
have been; Lincoln, 41.9569,
Blaine, 5S.O431.
The accountants found the
amount of the debt to be paid by
Lincoln was $169,O77.S9, less the
value of the court house premises,
$41, 200, or 1927, 7,377S9.
They fixed Blaine's amount at
$242, ,330,83, plus the value of the
court house, or S4,O03.93. Blaine
county claims that the amount to
be paid by Lincoln is 1929 463.69
and the amount to be paid by
Blaine $317,439.69.
Under the acts of the legislature
Blaine county assumes all the in
debtedness, Lincoln paying Blaine
her proportion, and the complaint
in this case asks that Lincoln coun-
ty be required to pay Blaine $685.
407.48. A contention over the
value of the court house premises
also enters into the matter, it be-
ing contended by Blaine county
that they were worth only $4,000, |
this accounting for the difference
between 1925, 1850 and the amount
Of judgment asked for.
The act providing for the appor.
ionment of the debt, after making
provision for determining the
lmount to be apportioned, provides
or the appointment of appraisers
o appraise the value of the court
house property. They shall report
o the accountants, who must
harge the amount so reported to
he county of Blaine, and add it to
ler ratable proportion of the in
ebtedness ascertained, as herein
equired." The accountants as
umed that if the value OF the pre-
lises was to be added to Blaine's
ortion of the debt it would have =
} be deducted flom Lincoln's por-
on, and acted accordingly. In
le hearing before the referee
incoln county did not introduce a
atement of her claim. The referee :
ports that the basis of apportion :
ent was reached by an eXamina- .
on of the original records OF "
laine and Logan counties and
tual computations therefrom. He CT
und the present value OF the court pl
,use to be $4,000. This he charges
Blaine county but does not de.
ct from Lincoln. He finds ho
aine's portion of the debt to be TT
1O,459, plus $31 COO, or $341 ,459. tr'
ncoln's county's proportion is tn
rs, ,406.43. Cash in the treasury sic
1 other small items amounted to
1918, making grand total Of
)4,05741, the actual indebted of
IS of Blaine county. for
n his report the referee finds an cou
n of $2S,713.04 OF compound in yea
sst which he holds is not proper I 80
;hargeable as an Indebtedness Of mo,
inc county and is therefore not will
uded. The

Woman's Home Missionary Society.

WOudu IlOIUc NllSSIUudTy oUSICtys
The Montpelier district of the Woman,
Home Missionary Society met in conven-
ton at the Methodist church Wednesday
and Thursday Of this week, and had a very
successful session. There were about &c
delegates present from out of town, and
the meetings were distinguished by their
interest and good attendance.
The convention opened Wednesday
afternoon with conservation service lee
by the district president, Mrs. H. F. For
rest Of South Londonderry. The greeting
from the church was given by Rev. F. w.
Lewis, and from the auxiliary by Mrs. f
L. Putnam, the response being made by
Mrs. H. C. McGlaufin of Brownsville.
After solo by Mrs. II. f. Williams, &C.
companied by Mrs. B. E. Foster, praye,

was repeated in the evening. Papers on

them by the choir and violin offertory by

Rev. H. A. Spencer of Springfield, who
was introduced by the presiding officer,
Mrs. Forrest
MIR. Spencer, whose remarks were lis
tened to with the deepest interest, took
for his subject the Woman's Home Mission
airy Society and dwelt on the significance
of each word of that title. He paid high
tribute to Woman and her work in the
church, and CALAMITY declared that the
first descriptive adjective of the society
sufficiently explained its great measure of
success. During the 16 years of its exist
ence, more than score of homes for the
education of girls had been established in
widely separated parts OF the country.
These homes take girls of all ages and by
a judicious course of training help them to
develop into good and useful women. Mis-
sions, he said, meant the spread Of the Cos
pei, and he pointed out the striking differ
ence between devotion to society and to
society.
Following the address came an anthem
by the ctoir and a recitation by Miss Caro-
lyn Smith.
Thursday morning, the devotions were
led by Mrs. b. E. Foster. Reports from

A Remarkable ResuIt--..-faCts Of Much
Interest.
How the Morality Rate May be
Lessened.

With scores of people suffering from
rh umalism, neuralgia, and kindred
diseases, it is evident that the following
letter which was published once before
in the Record did not have their read
ing.
II certainly is convincing, and if it's
advice were + lowed by more, the NOR
ality rate would be materially lessened.
Since this letter was printed, Re-
cord correspondent has investigated the
facts thoroughly and finds that they
are vouched for by Mrs Cleaveland's
neig hbors and friends. Her husband
is ,nductor cleveland, who has b Ell
with the Central Vermont r. r. for
twenty Yeas.
The letter is published in full as re-
ceived, and strikingly verifies the say
ing, "Truth is stranger than fiction "
To the Editor:
l have a marvellous communication
to make and one that feel it my duty
to send to you for publication, much
as l dislike seeing my name in print.
For three ears | have been able to
walk but very little, and it was seld m
hat could sit up over half day at a
time. None of the ply siciaDs seem.
to understand my case, some calling it
neuralgia or rheumatism, while others
said that nv sufferings were eau ed by
ulcers. Any way, none Of them helped
| ue. and after spending hundreds of
| dollars, became utterly discouraged.
/ finally went to New York, where
for two months / was under the care of
me of the most eminent physicians of
that city. But my sickness and help
less ess were not bettered. My husband
was talking to a friend; w H. Greene,
station agent at Burlington, VT, about
my unfortunate condition, and Mr..
Greene strongly urged him to have ne
try Paine's celery compound. / used
three bottles, aud with SO much benefit
that | continued its use. Today I
walked down town, half a mile or more
cid some shopping, called on a friend
and then walked home again. l am
doing all my Homework, something l
h we not done in years.
My restoration to health is solely due
to Paine's celery compound. 1t Is this
medicine which has changed me from
a suffering, helpless woman to my pre-
sent condition of health and strength.
[ hope you will publish this letter and
spread as widely as possible The know
ledge of a means that will bri health
! and happiness to homes where sickness
and suffering make life burden.
