A KICK REIsTERED.
A Statement by Vim. DeFriez on His
Bid to Examine the County Books.
DeLamar. New, March IL, 1897.

Bid to Examine the County Books.
DeLamAr. New, March IL, 1897.
To the Editor of the RECORD:
see by an announcement in your valu-
liable paper of the 4th inst. that the bid Of
H. w. Miles to 'examiue" the county books
for the wears 1891 70 1896, and also the
township books of DeLamsr for the sum OF
$500 was accepted. But it don't state that
the writer al-o put IN bid to do this same
work for Sl95OO. aud that the last clause,
referring to the DeLamar township b.oks,
is put 10 to maliciously reflect discredit up-n
the per. onAl character Of th- writer. who
was formerly justice Of the peace Of Della.
mar township, and the Justice Docket is the
only township hook, and to vitiate the
minds of the Hon. County Commissioners
agsinst the writer, ami 10 infer to them
there was something crooked with said
docket, that this should be a reason to re-
fuse the writer's bid of Sl95.00 as stated
The writer deems it high time he should
make this known to the tax payers of the
county, for such is the case, and protect the
reputation of himself and family, who have
had shots of similar nature aimed at them
previously from the same source, else, by
should the township of DeLamar be singl,
out any more than any other township in
Lincoln county but to deprive the writer of
honestly earning $685. 90 for the support of
himself and family, and that, under the
guise of official advice and duty, the motive
is too transparent, as every body who knows
the former justice of the peace of DeLamar
township, knows that all his official acts
have been performed openly and above
board and strictly in accordance with the
law and testimony, and If it is the desire OF
the taxpayers, does court full and impair.
tial investigation and examination of his
docket; but as everyone knows such an ex-
animation was not necessary in this, any
more than in any other township, any more
than it is an exposure of individual spite to
prevent the writer obtaining an honest liv.
ing for the supporting of his family, and also
to influence the Hon. the County Commits
sioners to accept bid for 100000 when the
writer sent in his bid at the same time to
properly do the same work for $l9500
The Hon. the Board of County Commis-
sioners are thoroughly acquainted with the
writer and know from the positions he has
held in various m rcautile establishments in
he is thoroughly competent to perform the
work and duties required.
For the protection of himself, his family,
his bondsmen and his friends in this county
the writer is impeled to make this state
ment and to expose a system Of persecution
that should not be tolerated nor counter
anced. Live and let live. Z"
Yours truly.

DANGER IN FRESH EGGS.
Fatal spores Which Are Found Upon the
Shells.

Shells.
When, in the brave. unscientific days
of old. the tvrant got TO think that the
sort of dinner to which he was accus-
toned might be apt to disagree with
him very seriously. he took to dining
upon eggs, and he cooked the eggs
himself. The repast might be frugal
one, but he could. at any rate, console
himself with the reflection that it
couldn't be toxic. That tyrant, il he
read the scientific journals, wound know
better to-day, and, even il his hens
performed their office in his presence.
would be careful to wash the new.
laid egg before he cooked il. For now
adays we have mycelium and he fatal
spore. When, but yesterday, a hundred
eggs were set, with experienced hens
to sit upon them, who. never neglected
their duty for moment, the result was
bare score of chicks. On each un-
fruitful egg was presently remarked
just the kind of smudge which has hith-
erto been held by connoisseurs to hc
the surest outward and visible sign OF
the nearness of an eggs laying. Sci
ence, however, decided that the smudge
meant mycelium, that the spore had
penetrated the eggshell, and had slain
the chick within. And science proved
its assertion by ocular evidence. Fur
ther, it showed that there was myeelt
um in the straw of the nests. that the
straw had got a little damp, and that
the hen had failed to hatch the egg
because she had hatched the spore. But
the spore will hatch just as well in the
ordinary temperature of a room, and
once entire, does well within the hu
man. Hence the ablutonary process
in the case of smudged eggs of the mos
undoubted freshness is strongly recon-
mended.-Pall Mall Gazette.

haps few lines from the sunny
south msy be OF interest to your
many readers at this time, when
they are in the midst OF snow and
ice. The expression, sunny south, +"
however, is Q misnomer at present,
st least. The weather hiss been fine
here during December. until last
Saturday, when q sleet storm set 10,
continuing Sunday and Sunday
night, and yesterday the effects Of
the storm were to be seen on all
sides. Telephone and electric light
wires were down in every part of the
city. The electric car service was
badly demoralizsd, although the
management is deserving OF great
praise for the efforts put forth TO
keep the cars moving. The excess
sive weigh, OF snow and sleet DAM
aged a gre Vt many roofs, and in some
OF the large wholesale houses to the
extent Of several thousand dollars.
But wha, seems the greatest pity is
the wreck OF Ornamental trees and
shrubs on many Of the fine lawns in
the city. The magnolia trees in par.
ticuiar, with their large glossy
leaves, which remain green all the
year. could not bear the heavy
weight, and many Of them are COM
pletely ruined. The storm was the
most severe Of its kind in the recol-
lection Of that famous individual
found in every locality-''the oldest
inhabitant."
One thing here which seems very
strange to northerner, Is the
Fourth Of July aspect connected with
the approach Of Christmas. Shop
windows are filled with skyrockets,
Roman candles and fire crackers,
and the small boy with toy pistol is
right in his element. Hand sleds
and skates are something which
young America in this vicinity knows
but little about.
This slect storm causes a grea.
deal OF suffering among the poorer
classes. who are not at all prepared
for cold and snow. In ordinary win.
ter weather here, whenever there is
heavy white frost, men who are at
work out of doors have to build 8
fire to work by. and now it is toe
wet for anything out Of doors to burn,
so they cannot work at all. But
they have happy disposition, and
as soon ss the snow has disappeared
they will enjoy the Sunshine, and
make no preparation whatever for
the next cold snap.
