Gathmann shell, loaded with high
explosive, will occur shortly at the
Sandy Hook proving ground. AS the
explosion of the charge is expected to
wreck ship within radius of 100 feet
of where the she'll falls, it is presumed
that the waters about the Hook will
not prove a popular cruising ground
for the next few days.

County Affairs.

The board of supervisors have been
working on the reports of officers for
the year just past and summing up
the treasury deficiency. The reports
show that in 1899 the total warrants
drawn during the year to reach the
total of 2s,s57 62s and the total receipts
from all sources to have been 81, ,767 .58S.
OF this amount 6,664.50s went direct to
the school fund and of course was dis
bursed through the orders of the diff
ferent school boards for salaries and
expenses.
The deficiency in the general fund
for the year amounts to 3754.54S, much
less than expected. In the expendi
ture of the past year are many road
improvements, the purchase of a pest
house for 200s, the graveyard at 75s,
courthouse well at 1908, smallpox cases
1179.65s and bills of 1898 l79O.3Ss, max
ing total of extraordinary expense
approximating 3435.O3s. With this
showing the county dads have just
about lived within their means. They
have had difficulties to contend with
and surmounted that no other board
has had to face.
Had the railroad company paid its
tax for the year the county would
have been away ahead and the tax levy
for 1900 would be about 2.50S on the
1908. Taken all in all our county dads
are to be commended for the good
work done.
With the offices the incumbents
have shown high degree of compe-
tency and in the office of recorder is
this more apparent than any other.
The work done in this Office during
the year has exceeded by far that of
any year in the history of the county,
and nice margin Of profit has been
paid into the county. The work has
been kept we'll up and the books are
ideal specimens of the penman's art.
Sheriff Hubbs makes good showing,
having collected licences to the amount
of 5.377s and poll tax amounting to
1,2S7.50s.
The Treasurer makes a showing in
the shape of a small delinquent tax
roll and the Probate Judge a cleanup
of his probate docket. Judge Blakely
makes satisfactory statement of
county affairs from the standpoint
of the District Attorney.

We are sorry to learn of the terrible
misfortune that has befallen Miss Kate
Sherman in the loss of the sight of one
of her eyes. The young lady has been
under the care of a specialist in Los
Angeles, but the disease had gone too
far to be remedied when she was
placed under his care. The other eye
is now entirely well. A few days after
the young lady returned from Phenix
her left eye became infiamed and the
inflammation extended to the other
eye. At first it was thought to be a
bad cold that had settled in the eyes,
but it was later ascertained to have
been poisonous substance that caused
irritation and blood poisoning. We
hope that in year or so nature will
assert itself and that the sight can be
restored.

The loss to Wall street brokers by
the three severe reverses to the Eng

over 1oO,OOO,OO0s, caused by the depre-

land amounted to almost a panic.
Panicy prices now prevail on the Lon
