COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The rush in the matter of redemp-
lions, assignments and tax compromis-
es was up to the standard during the
April term, but in other respects the
business was light.
In the matter of treasurers fees in
redemptions and assignments theBoard
| made a special order disseminating the
practice of charging fees and the treas
urer was authorized to draw these pa.
| pers free of charge. ,'sz's
| The pauper medical practice was let
to DR.. A. S. Cloud 1T the second district
for the sum of $3.50 per annum, and
to DR.. j. K. Osborne IN the first and
third districts tor $50 per annum.
E. II. Nixon and L. w. Stout were
appointed to assist the probate judge
in examining the treasurer's books next
quarter.
j. 3. GanO was employed to put II
dykes on Elm Creek east and south of
town to keep the creek in present chan
mel to protect the bridges. He will re-
ceive Sis for the work. Commissioner
Nay was authorized to do the same at
the kiowa river bridge. His compen.
sation is not stated.
The Lincoln Library will have to pay
a rental fee for the use of the room in
the southwest corner Of the upper story
of the courthouse in consequence of an
order made by tho board. The rent IS
fixed at so cents per month.
I The Medicine Lodge Cresset was
awarded the county printing at IS per
cent of legal rates, so the record which
we haye seen says. From other sources
we learn that under q special contract
the rate is fixed at 80 per cent. We
could not find anything in the minutes
relating to the job work and we sup.
pose the publishers of the Cresset will
receive whatever they ask for that class
of work. The matter of county print
ing il fully discussed elsewhere.
We would like to publish q list of re-
demptions, assignments. etc., but our
time and space are too limited. They
were very numerous.

pENITEHTIARY 1wlNE.

The last legislature made. provision
| for the establishment of q Irvine plant
at the state peDitentiary. In compli-
ance with the act. the Directors. after
having carefully investigated the diff
ferenr plants and the machinery in the
| market. let contracts in May for the
| machinery which the manufacturers
agreed to furnish by early fall. Many
things interfered so that the machinery
could not be made, tested and accepted
until the middle of January and the
output of the plant for this years har-
vest will be limited to about months.
Since the acceptance Of the machinery
the plant has been in continuous opera
ton and will furnish about one mil.
lion pounds for delivery by June Is.
The twlne is put up in sacks containing
ten balls weighing i've pounds each and
no package will be broken for shipment.
The closing OF the Philippine ports
for several months caused an extraordi-
nary demand for Manila hemp from
rope manufacturers and there will be
no Manila Irvine on the market this
year. The penitentiary output has
been pure sisal, but standard Irvine will
be furnished II there is sufficient de.
mand to justify Its manufacture.
No agents will be employed and the
output will be sold directly to the farm
ers in not less than 100 pound lots. I'm.
der the law, preference will be given
to orders from Kansas farmers and no
twine will be sold to other states at the
present time.
The statement has been made In some
newspapers that the penitentiary Irvine
would be sold at 10 cents; but this
statement was unauthorized. The
price was not fixed until the meeting
of the Directors on March q and is 10a
C. per ID free on board cars at Lansing.
Printed applications can be had by ad-
dressing the warden al Lansing, and

CITY AFFAIRS.

The new administration was sworu
in last Friday night. They did not
transact any business until Monday
night. At the meeting on Monday
night the following committees were
appointed:
Finance. e. Read. F. NJ. Shell,
Jas. Dobbs.
Streets and Alleys-Jas. Dobbs, A.
d. Shaw. l.. M. Axline.
/ Cemetery-A. D. Shaw, Jas. Dobbs,

M. Axline.
The bonds OF G. w. Horney. city
clerk. w. H. McCague. police judge,
and J. B. Stockstiil, street commission
er. were approved.
l.. NJ. Axline was elected president of
the council.
VIM. Axteli was appointed superin.
tendent Of the pumping station and
water ditch subject to contract to be
drawn up later.
VIM. Martin was appointed superin-
tendent of water works.
The INDEX was made the official pa.
per on motion of Councilman Axline.
The rates are the same rs those receiv.
ed during the year just closed which Is
so per cent of legal rates. The favor,
though . small one. is nevertheless ap.
preciated. The courtesy OF Mr.. Axline
who is publisher Of the Cresset and a
member OF the council, 10 valued more
highly than the patronage.
The council met again last night and
discussed the matter of permitting
stock TO run at large. Mayor Chandler
and the council say that the stock or.
dinance must be strictly enforced and
it is their intention to see that it is
done. If the marshal cannot do it, as.
sistants will be employed. It is hoped
they will make it ''sJlck" this year. It
is useless to encourage tree planting
and other public improvements as long
as they are not protected.
So far there seems to be perfect har-
mony between the mayor and council
and we believe they will give tho city
good service,
