COUNTY BOARD IN SESSION.

The Commissioners Met in Session and
Appointed Banking Depositories.
The county commissioners met in.
special session Saturday to finish
up few details which were left over
from the last session. The board ap-
pointed R. G. Warne & Co. as the
county depository for the sale of all
schoo; books under the new law, and
also allowed the western tier of town
ships depository, where the people of
that locality can make their purchases
in the school line.
The First National bank and the
Mitchell National bank of this city and
the Mt. Vernon bank were appointed
repositories for the reception of the
county's cash. The first two named
were allowed SIS, 1000 each and the lat
ter 81 200, the banks to pay per cent.
per annum for the use Of the money.
The bonds of each bank we're presented
and accepted.
The board inspected the Cox bridge
northwest of town and accepted the
same.
The county commissioners adjourned
Saturday evening, and they succeeded
in making the German Post an official
paper. The Post also published the
proceedings OF the recent meeting of
the board and the bill for the same
was allowed, despite the fact that it
was not an official paper, and against
the protest of the two republican mem
bers. This populist board, however,
proposes to see that the populist news
papers are to be taken care of.

WHEN TO SHOOT CHICKENS.
\ Misunderstanding as to When tn
Chicken Season Opens In this state.

A Misunderstanding as to When the
Chicken Season Opens in this State.
Watertown Public Opinion: Mr.. J.
b. Troeh has received the following
letter from Attorney-General Grigsby,
dated at Pierre, July Goth:
Replying to your favor of the 10Th
instant, will say that Chapter "a of the
lave of 1893 provides that no prairie
chickens shall be killed between the
first day of January and the first day of
September and no wild dnck between
lSeptember."
Attorney-General Grigsbys state
| ment as to the provision of the law Of
SO is correct. But all the same people,
have been shooting chickens on and
after August 18th. We cannot cite the
decision. nor can we tell what court
rendered it, but somebody was arrested
for shooting chickens before Septem-
ber 1st after the 1893 law was eracted
and the case was heard by some court
in the state. 1t was that courts opin-
ion that the law was not and is not
valid and that consequently the law in
force previous to the passage of the
chapter in question was not validly
repealed. This previous law made it
lawful to shoot chickens on and after
August 18th, and sportsmen have gem
orally accepted the courts decision and
have governed themselves accordingly.
This statement of this case may not be
accurate in all respects but il is nearly
so rs our memory serves u.s.. We be-
believe the supremes court was not
called upon to review the decision of
the lower court. If any of our readers
can give the exact facts in relation to
this matter it would doubtless please the
people interested, and especially those
who may be contemplating the slaugh-
ter of chickens on and after August
18th. They, of course, do not wish to
''run up against the law" AS we have
suggested, this statement is based upon
memory only, and is amendable if
erroneous.

Vile" said Mr.. Doyle, land he sur
prised me by his reasons for the dis
charge of the white employees at
Spreckelsville. He told me that the
men were incompetent to handle the
laborers, and he intended bringing men
from California who would do better
work, at $50 per month. This surprised
me, because L always understood that
the men had been in the employ of the

He thinks he can get men in San

Boote has a different idea from that
advanced by Labor Commissioner Fitz-

with the murder of an interpreter.
They were convicted of manslaughter

Below is copy of the protest filed
with S. G. Wilder, secretary of the
Hawaiian Jockey Club:
Honolulu, June II. 1897.
''Mr. S. G. Wilder. Secretary Hawaiian
Jockey Club, Honolulu:
sir hereby enter a respectful
protest against the decision of the
judges in the eighth race, Oceanic
Steamship Company's cup, three-quar-
ter-mile dash, Hawaiian bred, in favor
of Amethyst, as / claim the race to
have been won by Antidote. The
judges held that although Antidote
passed the wire ahead of Amethyst, the
race could not be awarded to Antidote,
on account of his having been taken
off the track before the weight of the
unQeF WHICH lie was
was taken. The jockey who rode An
tidote tainted directly after this race
was run, and Antidote was taken from
the track before the weight of the sad
die was taken through inadvertence
and wholly without my knowledge,
consent or connivance. Within a few
seconds after this race was concluded
| reached my horse, Antidote. with the
clerk of the course, and. at that time,
the saddle had not been removed. My
jockey having then recovered, offered
TO have his weight taken but this the
judges refused to permit and awarded
the race to Amethyst.
81 now contend and am prepared to
conclusively prove that the jockey who
rode Antidote weighed more than
enough to fulfill the requirements of
the rules of the club without account
ing the weight of the saddle.
Being member of the Jockey Club,
and conceiving that an injustice has
been done me in this matter I desire
to appeal and do now appeal from the
decision of the judges awarding said
race to Amethyst, and respectfully re-
fer to the following gentlemen, who
will testify in support of the facts
herein recited, to-wit: Mr.. VIM. VOL
tiers, Mr.. Gus Schuman, Mr.. G. B. Will
son, Mr.. George Paris, and the Messrs
Halstead.

your obedient servant.

Commissioners of Education.

The regular session of the Commits
sioners of Education was held Thurs
day afternoon at the usual place. All
of the members were present. The
main work of the afternoon was the
discussion of the schedule of teachers,
which took up nearly all of the time.
After the members thought they had
talked enough about it. they left the
matter to the Teachers Committee to
decide on. It will be remembered that
the classification is an attempt to
get a schedule of salaries, this to be
dependent upon length of service, quail

from Ohio must 60 home to vote. and he

that times are hard and money scarce.

This ~ an unusual proceeding in Wash

into what straits the Republicans uf Ohio

committee. the secretary of each depart

boys what must be done this canvasser
presented each clerk with a free ticket

back. The clerk was instructed when
he reached Columbus to report at the

Joe Brown Gets Eighteen Years in the
Penitentiary.
Portsmouth, Va, Oct. 27.-Joe Brown,
who brutally murdered his wife last
spring on the Deep Greek shell road by
cutting her to pieces with an axe, was on
trial in the county.court again yesterday,
the last jury ha wing disagreed, standing
nine for murder in the first degree and
three for acquittal. Judge George ID.
Parker defended Brown and Captain
Marshall prosecuted.
AS the commonwealth could not show
any motive for the kllliu0,i it having been
done while Brown was very drunk, he
was allowed tc plead guilty to murder in
the second degree, and the jury fixed his
punishment ut eighteen years in the
penitentiary.
On the LIST of April last he went to his
home Oh the Deep Greek road, and, with.
out any motive whatever, crushed the
woman's head in with an axe Not salts
fled with this, he cut her throat with a
razor from ear to ear.
Brown seemed satisfied at the verdict
and thought himself very lucky to escape
the death penalty.
