TO ABOLISH
FEE SYSTEM.
Movement Started in Esse,
County TO Place Sheriffs on
a Salary Basis.

There is q movement under way,
backed, according to those who are
likely to know, by the republican
organization of Essex county, in favor
of the enactment of a law at the next
session of the legislature for the abol-
ishment OF the fee system in the
office of sheriff, in counties OF the first
class, that is, Essex aud Hudson,
and the establishment of a fixed
remuneration for the lncumbsnts. 1t
is even maintained by the knowing
ones that before the matter ends
there will be an attempt to make the
salarv plan for county offices operative
III over the State, which would mean
a radical change in most counties in
the State, in which not only in the
sheriif's Office, but those of surrogate,
register and clerk, the fees go to the
itiice- holder.
The platform of the republican
party is Essex county ut the last cleo
tion practically pledged the Essex re-
presentation to work for the abolish
nent of the fec system in the sheriff.
,fice at the next session of the legis-
ature, and the proposed bill first re-
ferred to is nc moro than O fulfill
nent of the promise given or implied
1t has gone SO far that some of the
prominent lawye rs of the party have
zen asked to consider the form of q
IL which would provide for putting
the sheriffs of Essex and, Hudson
ounties on salary and arranging mat
ers so that the fees coming into the
fices would be turned over to the
counties.
= Among those consulted was County
Counsel Joseph L. Mum, who said
Yesterday that he had been asked to
nelp in framing such a bill, but furth
err stated that the matter had only
been Brought to his attention within
he last few days and that nothing
leflnite had been accomplished as yet
The suggestion had not even gone 50
far, he said, as to include one as to the
amount which the sheriffs should re-
ceive.
With regard to the proposition to
iraw a bill which should cover all
the counties in the State, Mr.. Mum
said that no such plan had been in
sluded in asking his advice as to the
frst-class counties bill.
"I would not say" ne said, "that
such a measure might not be brought
up before the legislature adjourns,
but l can tell you that of the sort is
on the stoc ks now"
The bill relating to the sheriff 4
offices in the irst-class counties,
should it take form and pass, would,
of course, lie drawn so as to take
effect after the election of the success
ors Of the present incumbents.
1t is said that the republican organ
cation in Essex stands solidly behind
both proposed measures and will
work hard for the success OF both.
1t is not anticipated that there will
Do much opposition to a bill relating
% the sheriff's offices in first-olass
counties, carrying a salary of 81, 500 o
year for sheritf's, but it is rather ex'
pected that there will be a fight
against the other. There IS good
authority, however, for the state
ment that there will at least be al
attempt to put the proposed genera
bill through.

WASHING WITHOUT WATER
IL Like Trying to Get Rid Of Dandrufa
without Herpicide.

Did you ever see any one trying to
wash themselves without soap or
water?
If you did what would you say OF
him?

rid of Dandruff and to prevent Bald
ness by feeding the germs which cause

Shakhe Station, five miles north, the
report that the Russians had bonn
barded the station applying to the
bridge, as the station is now beyond
the sphere of their operations.
The heavy concentration of both
Russians between the Mandarin and
the railroad makes certain a tremen-
dous collision at this point. A portion
of the Eighth Army Corps, which had
reached Harbin, is hurrying south
ward.
While the Japanese evidently are
determined to pursue the policy fol-
lowed by them since the beginning of
the war of concealing the extent of
their losses the War Office believes
that their casualties must be at least
three-fourths as great as those of the
Russians probably in the neighbor-
hood of 10000.
The weather has again become clear,
but 1t is very cold, and the soldiers
are reported to be suffering. A cor
respondent wires that two Japanese
were found Friday night by a detach-
ment of Cossacks. They were uncon-
scious and half frozen and conveyed
to the Russian camp, where they were
cared for.
