Commissioners Proceedings.

Mondays meeting of the Board of Com
missioners was the frat Of the year and two
newly elected members took their seat;
John Simpson, who was elected for
long term for four years, and james Giles,
who was elected for the short term of two
years. Luke Syphus, the holdover member.
was elected chairman for the next two years
after new members has taken the oath Of
office.
The FIRST business taken up was the ap-
proval of the newly filed bonds. One by
one the were examined and approved and
with each approval term of the old officers
expired. The bonds contain the names of
the old sureties, principally the business
men of Phoebe and DeLamar.
Geo. S. Sawyer appeared and wanted as
suranees that the interest tax wonld be
levied to pay the claim of Samuel Davis of
San Francisco. but the assurance was not
given, the desire Of the bond being TO await
the maadatot. vrdsr'ot the caurt for the ror-
pose
"a petition was filed from Hiko asking fo
the appointment Of Louis Stern as Justice of
the Peace. The appointment was made,
bond in the amount of 100000 to BE- filed
within 80 days.
The subject of employing a physician for
the county at stated monthly salary was
discussed, but was not determined upon
principally for the reason that it is question
able where one will be most needed, at
Phoebe or DeLamar.
Sheriff Prudential submitted to the
Board the name of Jake johnson for Deputy
Sheriff, and of John Ewing for Deputy
Assessor, each at salary of $50, per month.
These appointments met with the approval
of the Board aud was so entered. This con
tinues the arrangement OF the past year by
which saving of several hnndard dollars i
made over what would be required if each
deputy was employed to perform work only
when needed.

THE BROKEN KEY.

Tho young and pretty bride felt wor-
ried and out of sorts. Only short eight
weeks ago she married her dear Gus,
and had followed him to his home in
W., and already he had begun to neglect
her, to go out of an evening and to leave
her alone in the big house. He had tried
to convince her that he could not alto
gether neglect his former friends and
companions and that she ought not to
object to his meeting them on two even
ings every week and to pass an agrcea-
bic hour or two in their company over
friendly game of whist, but she sim
ply did not comprehend how he could
enjoy himself without her; how he
could ever think Of going anywhere
without taking her along.
sob, the dreadful evenings have to
spend!" sho complained, with tears in
her eyes. II am obliged to sit here all
alone because l have as yet had no
chance to form any acquaintance here.
Naturally get homesick. Often 1 feel
like leaving everything and taking the
train home to my parents.
"Would it not be better, darling if
you went to bed and tried to sleep?''
"That is just where the trouble is, "
she replied, still i'll tears 81 am afraid
Our servant sleeps way up III the attic.
She wohld not even hear were anything
to happen to me-
"Why you foolish child, what is there
to be afraid of? What is going to hap
penn"
"Are not the papers every day full of
burglaries and robberies?" she persisted.
'"Think of the many strangers that flock
to well known health resort like this.
Nothing is impossible under such cir
cumstances.
The husband looked thoughtfully at
his sweet bride.
"No, dear; do not want you to
brighten yourself into illness. Ipromise
you herewith of my own free will'-the
poor fellow could not help hoaving
sigh as he said this to return promptly
at II O'Clock whenever go to meet my
friends. 1t is impossible for me to with
draw myself from their society alto

make fun of me and call me henpecked

before the hour OF IL, the streets being
full OF life and traffic. Goodby, darling,
and please do not feel lonesome.
Annie sighed and submitted resigned
ly to her fate. She read awhile. She
then took up her embroidery, present
for her mother. She played Il game OF
solitaire. and finally she paced restlessly
up and down tho room. AT home there
had been I. largo family circle; hence it
was very trying to her to be left so much
to herself in her new surroundings
At 10 o clock even the familiar noises
Ill the kitchen ceased, for the servant
had gone up stairs to her attic, and the
poor woman felt the old feeling of dis
tress and fright creep over her. The sit
ting room was located at the rear of the
house, and there was hallway between
1T and the front rooms. She therefore
could not hear the usual noises. A
deathliko silence reigned in the room.
Tired and yet excited, she threw herself
OH the lounge. She sadly reflected why
beerhouscs and card parties had been
called into existence. BY and by her
thoughts became more and more con-
fused, and she fell into sound slumbcr.
1t was 1l:05 O'Clock when Gus arrived
breathlcssly and posthaste at his house
door and tried TO fit his key into the
lock.
Poor fellow! Had evil spirits con-
spired to get him into trouble? Click
the key broke i'll two, and tho bit stuck
fast i'll the keyhole, handle and barrel
alone remaining i'll his hands
He knocked, he called, he knocked
again and louder-for unfortunately
there was no house bell; all in vain.
Il hardly think my wife has retired as
early as this" he reflected, "but of
course she is III the sitting room, and
most likely she cannot hear me. " Once
moro he knocked, this time very loud.
He called until his voice was hoarsc; no
reply.
70 fill his cup of misery to the brim
it commenced to rain, and ho was with
out an umbrella
Perhaps Annie has gone to bed aft
er all, " he thought, shivering and drip-
ping wet. Shall go to hotel? No!
What would the people Think Tho only
place that know Of that may still be
open is the railway depot, for there is a
train arr wing ut midnight"
He went down the street In a pouring
rain and mt last found himself in the
waiting room of the station.
"a glass of beer, sir?'' asked an ell
tcrprising waiter. Gus shook himself.
He felt chilly. punch, he said, land
make it hot!" He drank one glass and
then another and still another to while
away the time. He was the only person
ehere IL due time the last train had
arrived, and he could stay no longer
They were about to close up.
In sheer desperation he looked at his
watch.
1t was O'Clock when he emerged into
the street, and it had ceased to rain.
