ATTORNEY
APPOINTED
The Commissioners Select H.
Warren as MIR. Murphy's
Successor

The county commissioners early
this morning cnose Mr.. Harry War
rem to fill the unexpired term Of
Frank X. Murphy, district attorney
and county superintendent of schools.
1t was a marked case of the Office
seeking the man-and it sought him
early Mr.. Warren was awakened cut
of sound sleep by County Clerk
Dunn, who notified him of his cleo
tion, and that his presence and imme-
diate acceptance of the Office were
very much desired by the board.
The appointment of Mr.. Warren
appears to be a highly popular one,
and the action of the board meets
with commendation on all sides.
Mr.. Warren is an attorney of ac-
knowledged ability; and a man of
sterling character. He will beyond
doubt administer the exacting duties
of his Office capably and to the full
satisfaction of the taxpayers, and all
who have business with the office.
Although accepting the office with
some reluctance, Mr.. Warren imme
diately filed his bond, qualified and
is now busily engaged in the discharge
of his new duties. His friends are
highly pleased over his appointment
and feel that the county is to be con-
graduated on securing a man of Mr..
Warrens standing and ability, when
the compensation is so small.

diction is made that by the close Of
the fiscal year the excess will have
reached s5O,OO0,OOO. This showing is
particularly gratifying in view of the
fact that during the same period the
expenses of the. government have ex-
ceeded those Of year ago by $30,000,-
OC0. The increase in receipts is due
to increased Importation, most of the
growth being in manufacturers sup
plies. The available cash balance in
the treasury is $72,OOO,O 900, in addition
to which there is a credit in the Ma
tional Banks of $15O,OOO 900 in round
numbers. Secretary Shaw1s scheme
for refunding the national debt is
meeting with unexpected success, up
wards of $3O,OOO,OOO worth of the
higher interest bonds having been Of
fered in exchange for the 2 per cent,

A
VACANCY
No Successor to Commission
er MOrey Has Yet Been
Named

The vacancy in the board of county
commissioners still exists. the board
feeling it is powerless to appoint a
successor to Mr.. Morey until his res
ignation is rendered to the board as
such. 1t is understood that Governor
Sparks thinks an appointment of a
successor would be legal, since he has
the resignation rendered to him, but
after getting legal advice the board
concluded that it had no authority
to appoint a successor to Mr.. Morey
until official notice of his resignation
was received from him.
w. H. Holt was re-appointed sheep
inspector for the ensuing year, and
qualified as such officer this morning.
The board did no further business
except to allow some of the bills that
had been presented, and has not yet
adjourned.

Bro. Jones Encouraged

An exchange says: One Sunday, not
long ago. in a town not more than
1000 miles from Reno. a newcomer
named Jones went to church and de-
posted 500 in the contribution box
when the deacon passed his way.
The preacher not being used to such
generosity on the part of his regular
parishioners, inquired of the stranger
as to the reason for it. Mr.. Jones
said that he had just started in busi-
ness in the city and wanted to help a
good cause The preacher returned
to his pulpit and announced that he
intended patronizing Mr.. Jones and
asked of all his congregation who
would do likewise to stand up. The
congregation arose en- masse. While
the flock was still standing the
preacher asked Mr.. Jones what his
business was, Jones replied: I'm a
saloon keeper"
