COUNTY TREASURES CON-
MISSIONS.
The Commissioners and Auditors fail to
Agree, and the Court will Settle II.

By the act of 1884, the compensa-
ton of the county treasurer is to be
fixed by the commissioners, with the
approval Of the county auditors. On
last Saturday Commissioners Krick-
baum and Kitchen Gordon being
sick) submitted the following to the
auditors.
Resoioed, That the full compensa-
ton for the County Treasurer for the
year beginning the first Monday Of
January 1897 shall be three per cent
on all moneys received and paid by
him, saving and excepting that said
Treasurer shall only receive II per
cent for moneys paid by him for the
redemption Of county bonds and the
interest on the same, and that said
Treasurer shall only receive Il per
cent on moneys paid by HIM for any
one item Of repairs or improvements
to any public buildings, or any county
creek or river bridge, where the cost
of any such item of repairs or improve
ments shall exceed five hundred
dollars, and that the said Treasurer
shall only receive 1! per cent. for
moneys paid by him for the construc-
ton iof any new public building, or
new county creek or river bridge or
any road or appoach to such bridge,
where the cost of any such building
or bridge or any such road or APP
proach shall exceed five hundred
dollars, and that said county Treas
urer shall receive no per cent or COM
pensation for moneys paid by him in
the payment or discharge of any sums
which may be borrowed, without issu-
ing bonds, by the present board of
Commissioners, and if a new bonded
Indebtedness becomes necessary, the
said treasurer shall only receive one
half per cent. in paying out the pro-
ceeds of sald bonds.
The auditors declined to approve
of this proposition, and SO under the
act of 1875 the court has power, in
its discretion, to fix the Treasurer's
compensation finally.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Mr. Platt will return to the Senate
after an absence of nearly sixteen
years. Instances are very rare of mon
being returned to the Senate after so
long an absence. Sixteen years are Il
long time in politics, and very few, in
deed, survive the changes of such II
period. When Platt first entered the
Senate. in 1881, Grover Cleveland had
not yet been elected Mayor of Buffalo,
and was unknown. He returns to the
Senate just as Mr.. Cleveland retires
to private life. The rise and fall Of
David h. Hill are embraced in the
same period. OF all members of the
Senate, when Mr.. Platt was sworn in,
March A. 1881, only fourteen will be
there when he takes his seat, March A.,
1897. These fourteen Senators are:
Allison, Frye, George, German, Hale,
Harris, Aldrlch, Hawley, Hoar, Nor

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1897.

A proposition to investigate the
state treasury is before the legislature.
A senator said the other day that he
wanted to know whether it is true that
large sums of state money are deposit
ed in certain favored banks, without
interest, and that in consideration
therefor these banks have loaned
large amounts to prominent politici-
ans, and that as the money has not
been repaid, the state treasurer can
not pay the appropriations to the
public schools because the banks have
not got the money to do it with.
Let the investigation go on by all
means.

CabinetD
"It is no Kindness" said a member
of Congress, the other day, ito ap-
point n poor man to n position in the
Cabinet. The salary Is not sufficient
to do more than pay the rent of n
properly furnished house, and it takes
about four times the salary to live and
entertain, not extravagantly and
showily but in a manner consistent
with the high position. The conse-
quence Is that to keep anywhere near
the pace set by his colleagues, poor
man uses up the small savings of n
lifetime.
Fortunately, the men mentioned in
connection with Mr.. McKinley's Cabl-
net are some of them wealthy, all of
them Possessed of fortunes adequate
to meet the demands of the position,
and Of agreeable social qualities. The
place the Shermans occupy in society
will scarcely be changed by Mr.. Sher-
mans acceptance Of the premiership.
They have for several decades enter
tanned frequently and elegantly, but in
quiet and conservative manner. The
only difference the new position will
make is that AIRS. Sherman, as wife
of the Secretary of State, will have
precedence after Mrs. Hobart, and
will receive more visitors and make
fewer visits, it having become an es-
tabllshed custom that the women of
the cabinet shall not attempt to re-
turn all the visits upon them in per
son. SENATOR.

The New Revenue Law.

Tai South ,;t! Bend for instance, only
six Buildings will be- taxed under the
new law. All others are exempt. The
owners Of most of these never asked
for such relief and were willing and ex-
pected' to pay "a. $ on them. Hardly
a single house on the ocean beach and
the property of the summer resorters
will be taxed, as they are not worth
over $500 exemption allowed by the
new law. In no other section of the
country are taxes paid 4. as promptly as
they are upon the ocean beach prop
erty. Buildings may go free, but that
helps the farmer very little who has
wrested his farm from the wilderness
Of stumps and roots and who must
now pay the more for the work he has
performed in clearing his land. Taxes
must be raised somehow; Heretofore,
personal property has paid less than
its share. Hereafter, it will pay prac-
tlcally nothing. Real property must,
therefore, assume the extra burden.
An increase in the rate of taxation is
inevitable, and the farmer, is the one
who will suffer.-South Bend Journal.

Peculiar Parts to Be Regarded by Those

REGULAR Parts to Be Regarded by Those

There is no danger in eating soft
shelled crabs" observed an epicure, ''if
they are fresh, but they are poison if
they are not. They should be well sea-
soned, and an extra lot of pepper put
on them as a precaution, especially if
the weather is very hot when they are
eaten, or if they are eaten shortly be-
fore one retires. 1t is the habit of many
persons to eat soft-shelled crabs at
night time. do not know but that they
taste better then. 1t is somewhat dan
gerous to many to drink milk after eat
ing crabs. Milk seems to develop the
collie that follows eating soft-shelled
crabs with some persons.
Another thing that should be re-
membered, and that is that a sharp
thunderstorm will kill soft-shelleld
crabs, and even the hard-shelled crabs
at times. Unless the soft-shelled crab
had been cooked before the thunder
storm, think the safer plan would be
to decline to eat it. Under all other
conditions there is no danger in partak-
ing of them, for do not think anyone
would be criminal enough to cook Il
dead crab, hard or soft shell. The
proper way to kill a crab is to throw
him into kettle of boiling water. /
know that some people think this is
cruel, but it is no more cruel than to
stab them with a needle or kill them
with chloroform, as I have known some
extra sensitive persons to do"

FORGOT HIS NECKTIE.
Embarrassing Situation Of a Young Man
Out West.

Out West.
In these days of cheap neckwear a
man is poor indeed who cannot afford a
large collection of ties. There is one
young man in this city, however, says
the Denver Times, who would have
willingly paid five times the cost of a
cravat, if necessary, few days ago.
He is a genius in his way, and, like most
of his tribe, requires a guardian. 1t
was on a bright, warm morning, not
long since, that he sauntered from his
home, just about shopping time, and
in his absent-minded way wandered
downtown. AS he walked along Six
tenth street people gazed at'him curl
ously, and some were ill-bred enough
to laugh. Their curiosity was lost upon
him, however, for he was far away in
reveries of the bright, happy times
when editors accept everything that is
offered without even asking ambitious
young authors to ruthlessly cut manu-
script "to satisfy our readers" He
wandered into crowded drug store,
and, elbowing his way through the
throngs of well-dressed women, asked
for his favorite phosphate, and then
continued his stroll until he reached
the office of the Times. Then some one
asked him why he did not dress before
coming on the street. He looked up in
mild amazement, sought mirror, and
then made a rush for the nearest hao-
erdashery. Since then he has become
possessor of complete collection of
ties, and when he sees his sister wearing
the choicest specimens, his hand I'm
variably seeks his collar band to see if
he has again been neglectful.
