which he was born that they called
him after 1t, 'Alatow-Tam Chiboulak'."

Among the bills reported passed at
the recent special session OF the Legis-
lature was one replacing the salary of
the county judge of Lincoln county at
5000. When the measure was first
passed in 1895, we are informed, il was
entirely satisfactory to the people Of
the county, and would undoubtedly
have continued in force but for the
discovery of one of those somewhat
common legislative bulls which rem.
dered it ineffective. II 5000 per year
was not too great a salary for the
county judge Of Lincoln county eight
years ago, then it is certainly a very
modest remuneration for that official
now. And citizens who were satisfied
with the law eight years ago can oppose
