rHR ATTORNEYS FAIL TO AGREE.
Cheshire and Remiey Dissent rs to the
Duty of sheriff In Criminal Cases

Cheshire and Remiey Dissent as to the
Duty of sheriff la Criminal Cases.
Des Moines, Nov. l9.-Attorney Gen
eral Remley and Assistant County At
torney Cheshire do not agree as to what
fees the sheriffs are entitled to collect
and apply on their salary accounts. Re-
Gently Mr.. Cheshire gave it as his opin-
ion that the sheriff must do the work in
state and county cases, which includes
all the criminal business, for nothing and
that in this county Sheriff Mattern must
make his salary of $500 year out of
collection of fees in civil cases. Sheriff
Mattern took issue win Mr.. Cheshire,
insisted that he could not make his sal
airy out OF the civil fees and appealed to
the attorney general for an opinion. The
attorney generals opinion is to the eff
feet that the sheriff shall collect the cr<m-
inal fees the same as civil fees and that
he shall deduct his salary from the whole
amount of the collections and turn the
balance over to the county clerk.
MIR. Cheshire is not wiling to accept
the opinion of the attorney general as
final and acting on his advice the board
Of supervisors still refuses to pass on the
sheriff's bill for criminal fees. AS re-
suit the probability OF settlement of the
differences out of court is no nearer than
before the attorney general rendered his
opinion.
Furthermore h,r. Cheshire has given it
as his opinion that under the law the
sheriff is not en- led to the collection Of
a fee for feeding or caring for prisoners
in the county Jail and that hemust do this
out of his salary. The sheriff says that il
this is true it would take all his salary
each year to pay for lie keep of the pris-
oners. IT is quite likely that a suit will
be brought at the January term of court
by Sheriff Nattern to determine all these

ROADS OF sAwDUsT.
When Properly Constructed, and
Then kept in Repair, They Civ
Excellent Service. !

Any strong, ibrous substance, and
especially one which holds moisture,
such as the refuse of sugar cane or
sorghum and even common straw,
flax or swamp grass, is useful in road
making. Spent tanbark is of some
service, and wood fiber in any form
is excellent. The best is the fbrous
sawdust made in saving shingles by
those machines which cut lengthwise
of the fiber into the side of the block.
Sawdust is first spread on the road
from eight to ten inches deep, and
this is covered with sand to protect
the road against fire lighted from
pipes or cigars carelessly thrown or
emptied on the roadbed. The sand
also keeps the sawdust damp. The
dust and sand soon become hard and
packed, and the wheels of the heav-
lest wagons make but little impress
sion upon the service. The roadbed
appears to be almost as solid as a
plank road, but it is much easier for
the teams. The road prepared in this
manner will remain good for four or
five years and will then require re-
newing in ONE parts. The ordinary
lumber sawdust would not be so
good, of course, but if mixed with
planer shavings might serve fairly
well.-Boston Transcript.

K GRAPE JUICE.
When Only Small Quantities of Fruit
Are Used Directions Here
Given Are Sufficient. .

Select choice, sound Concord grapes.
If you buy them use none that are
broken or moldy. Pick from the stems,
wash, place in a colander for the dirty
water to drain off, then place in a
white enameled preserving kettle. To
each ten pounds or six quarts of the
stemmed grapes add one quart of cold
water. Place over the fire and boil
hard for ten minutes, or until the pulp
is thoroughly cooked and broken.
While the grapes are cooking frequent
ly stir with a wooden spoon. Remove
from the fire and express the juice
through a cheesecloth bag. Replace
over the fire. Add a very scant half
pint of graduated sugar to each quart
of juice. Remove any scum hat arises.
When the sugar is dissolved, and the
liquid has reached the boiling point,
strain through a c~heesecloth or jelly
bag. Replace over the fire to keep it
very hot while bottling. Bottle, cork
and seal. Use bottles that have been
thoroughly cleansed with water as hot
as can be safely used. They should be
filled while warm. To prevent them
from breaking while filling, place in
them a clean wire of sufficient length
to extend into the funnel. In using
fruit jars insteod of bottles, a large
spoon is better than a wire. Do not
use an iron spoon. Do not allow grape
juice to remain in a tin vessel one
minute. If the hot juice is strained
into a crock, the crock should be pre-
viously thoroughly warmed or moder-
ately heated to prevent breaking.
Keep in a cool place.-Philo S. Dill
