Attacks Salary Law.

Columbus, o., Aug. o. With the
object of testing the validity OF the
county commissioners salary law,
suit has been filed In the common
pleas court by County Prosecutor
Taylor on behalf of Ohio. The suit
is brought against the individual
members OF the board of country
compassed by the last Legislature,
under which the commissioners are
to receive $750per year In counties
where the property valuation is
$4,000, 900 and $3 additional for
every 100000 above the $5 100000 on
the tax duplicate, total not to exceed
$500 per year.
This law the petitioner CLAIMS in
creased their salary from $1,000 to
$3,45O, which works great and ir-
reparable injury to the county.
The law is attacked on the ground
that it conflicts with section 2, arti-
Gle 20 of. the constitution of Ohio,
which is to the effect that no law
shall be passed which increases the
salary Of county officials during the
same term the law is pa ssed.

Four Score.

On August 14th. our good friend
and stalwart Democrat, A. j. Bur-
CESS, of Gore, celebrated his 8Oth.
birth anniversary. There were
present about seventy five relatives
and friends, and a royal time was
had. Among those present were
sixteen grandchildren and five
great-grand-chlldren. 1t was GER
tainly happy good time for all
and the good old man, was about
as young in spirits and good health
as his visitors and well wishers.
We do hope for many more happy
anniversaries for our four-score
friend, and we believe ne will be
granted many more. His son-in-
law, Jacob Eberts and family, of
Columbus, were among those pres
ent to help celebrate.
