The Tribune is determined
find fault with the county commits
sioners. 1t charged them with ex-
tlavagance when they fixed their
salaries $500 less than the maxi
MIN. The Legislature fixed the
maximum at $1,000 because 1t was
believed that compensation was
fair for the service required in GER
tain counties. Nez Perez county
requires more service from these
officers than any other county in
the state. They placed their pay
at $500. The sheriff and assessor
were given the maximum. Why
was it extravigant for the commits
sioners to accept $500? The Trih'
une doubtless has private troubles
and personal grudges, but it might

lie affairs. The republican officials
are redeeming this county from

and unless the organ of the part,
can blind the people it will hav'

paign. Every department of count,
affairs shows saving under repub

An Object Lesson for Farmers.

Last spring, SAYS the World-Herald,
a Nebraska farmer, having some wheat
in his bins and needing some barb
wire to fence in a pasture, went to a
hardware dealer in his market town
and said:
II want to get 600 pounds of barb
wire, but have no ready cash.
However, have some wheat. which
is worth 80 cents a bushel. How
many bushels of wheat must l bring
to town to sell for enough to pay YOU
cash for the wire?''
Barb wire is worth q. 80 per hun
dred. If you want TO trade wheat for
that much wire YOU must haul in
~ and clio bushels of wheat"
Circumstances over which he had
no control prevented the farmer from
hauling out the wire at that time.
But last week the same farmer went
to the same hardware dealer and said
Il couldn't get around to that wire
deal last spring, but I'm ready for il
now. I'll haul in the % and Clio
bushels of wheat tomorrow and get
that 600 pounds of WIRE
.'Ah, but you'll have to haul in
more wheat than that" replied the
hardware dealer.
"Why?' queried the farmer.
Wheat is worth just as much now a.
it was last spring.
Very true" replied the dealer.
"but the wire is worth more. 1t has
gone from $3.50 per hundred to 1910
per hundred"
Wire has gone up and wheat re-
manned DOWN." asked the farmer.
The wire trust"
The farmer walked out in a thought
full mood. He was thinking now
prosperous he was when what he sells
remains stationary or decreases in
price. while the prices of what he
must buy keep going up.

Couldn't Change the sirn.

England is said to be the freest coun-
try in the world, but its freedom does
not extend to the alteration of a public
house sign by a licensed victualer.
This was proved at the South Hants
Brewster court, where a brewer asked
leave to alter the name of an inn from
The Duke of York TO The Panther
Admiral Field, NJ. P, who acted as
chairman, asked the reason of the pro-
posed transformation, and was inform
ed that the applicant owned another
Duke of York, some distance off, a fact
which was liable to cause confusion in
business. The admiral, however, con-
sidered it discourteous to the brave
old Duke of York to put a panther in
his place. Eventually the application
was refused.
A similar fate attended the request
to change the name of a house from
The Royal Oak to The Radstock, Ad-
miral Field urging that Lord Rad
stock, as an eminent philanthropist
and Christian man, might justifiably
object to his name being thus taken in
vain. and the justices. perhaps out OF
regard for French susceptibilities, also
rejected an application TO change the
sign OF The Alma tavern to that OF
The Fashoda--London Telegraph.

A SPONGE IN HIS BODY.
Queer and Fatal Result of q Surgical
Operation.


Operation.
DIR. Morestin, a Russian surgeon,
who had been treating a woman for
recurring assesses, announced the
recovery of his patient the other day.
He had removed from her a pair of
physicians hemostatic forceps, four
inches long, which had been acciden-
tally sewed up in her body four years
before.
Said a New York physician: "a short
time ago an up country doctor came to
the city to be operated upon for the re-
moval OF the vermiforIn appendix, al
though l understand he never had APP
pendicitis. He did not improve after
the operation, and one night he died.
There was an autopsy, and it was
found that a sponge had been sewed
up in him. Yet have known of many
forceps, clamps and other metal instru-
ments to be forgotten and left in pa
tients, and the latter get well.
"Sponges are bad. From their very
nature they become collecting agents
and soon poison the body. The smooth
metal objects, on the other hand, are
apt to work their way into the ali
mentary tract, and then they soon pass
needles which have staid In the hu-

Ing their way out of the system or
of old soldiers who still carry the
bullets shot into them during the civil

in the human body.
''The most wonderful case of all was
that of an insane man whom 1 saw in
an asylum in Lancaster. Pa. He took
10 swallowing things in the carpenter
shop and before he was stopped he had
gulped down 40 nails of all sizes,
some buckles, piece of old iron, some
screws and lot of other things.
'All Of this hardware was extracted
and the man recovered. He is still liv-
ing and still a Iunatic."-San Francisco
