Kelley had been arrested by Of

is one of the largest items of ex-

The sum of $4,000 was voted to

This is about one-touth of the cost

New Method of Handling the Money.
Chairman True introduced a re-
solution to change the system of
handling the money belonging to
the county. Siuce the beginning of
of the countys affairs it
has been the practice for
the countv treasurer to receive
money from all sources, and give
receipt in return. According to the
re solution passed by the board it
will be necessary to pay all money
to the county clerk who will give
receipt, fill out the stub in the
book, record the amount in another
book and turn the money over to
the county treasurer who will also
give a receipt to the clerk, fill out
stub and keep a record of the same.
When money is to be paid out OF
the public fund it will be necessary
to procure an order from the county
clerk on the city treasurer. This
change was made on the request of
County Clerk Junge and County
Treasurer Witwen. The new method
makes a complete record and check
on handling the money belonging
to the county.

When Chairman True raped for
order this morning some of the
members of. the board desired to
again consider the matter of estab-
fishing county training school as
voted Yesterday.
Supervisor Dickie moved that the
resolution to established the school
in Sauk county be reconsidered.
Supervisor Devor said he desired
the board to understand the scope
of the proposition and for that rea-
son desired a time to be fixed for the
question to be discussed.
Supervisor Hirschinger said he
preferred the whole matter settled
at once.
Superintendent Snyder was pre-
sent and stated that about eight
years ago county training schools
were established in Dunn and Mar
athon counties. He then gave the
WORK done, expenses and general
purposes of such institutions in the
other counties. Many questions
were asked concerning the state
ments made Yesterday and as print
ed in the last issue of this paper.
Chairman True was of the opinion
that the establishment of such a
school would probably be of no
advantage to the cities but for
Sauk county as a whole it would be
an excellent move.
Supervisors Barry was highly in
favor of establishing the school.
It was decided finally to esta blish
such school. All of the members
voting for the school except Dickie,
Devor and Wilkinson.
County Superintendent Snyder
thanked the members of the board
for the interest taken in the
matter of advancing education in
Sauk county.
Chairman True then appointed
Supervisor Cooper, Hirschinger and
Paddock to confer with Superinten-
dent Snyder as to selecting a place
for the school and the other details
necessary.

as signed by J. S. Trip and E. G.

A Peculiar Bill.

FGCuIidr Dill,
The bill of Gilbert Lee amounting
to 5000 was not allowed. On ac-
count of so much interest in the
case and the law concerning the
claim it's history will be given. Pre-
vious to last March Mrs. Lee be-
came feeble in mind and it was
deemed best to remove her to the
hospital. In March Mr.. Lee desired
to sell some of the real estate and
it was agreed in court that the
property could be sold providing
that the sum of $4,000 be paid to
the county to aid in the support of
his wife. It was then the law that
a husband must provide for the
support of his wife when in the
hospital in case he was able or in
case there was property. In April
Mrs. Lee passed away. In May the
supreme court decided that the
husband was not liable for the care
of his wife when in the hospital.
In June the legislature passed a
law making it obligatory for the
husband to provide for the wife
when in a hospital. On the advice
of the district attorney the COM
mittee recommended that the claim
be disallowed, which was done.
There are several cases of the kind
in the county and the present de-
cision of the board will no doubt
prevent them from asking for funds
already paid the county.
The soldiers relief committee re-
ported that she sum of 4473.77 was
on hand.
The sum of 500. 48 was voted to
the town of Sumpter for road i'm
provement and the sum of 81, ,000.0 90
was voted to the town of Baraboo
for a like purpose.
The committee appointed to pur-
chase the Mcclure farm for the
county reported that the land had
been purchased at cost of $13. $50.
90. The farm includes 2O54 acres.
It was voted to purchase a new
volume in which to record mortgag-
es.
The sum of 81 ,450 was appropriat-
ed to build new cement walks about
the court house.
Supervisor Devor complained that
the assessors failed to report the
number of acres in the towns and
number of lots in the cities and
villages. This is needed as matter
of information.

A situation is described in the Nov
vember Wisconsin farm crop report,
issued by Secretary John M. True Of
the state board ofagriculture, that
shows that the farmers OF Wiscon-
sin have been fortunate in the sea-
son of 1905. Their corn was of high
quality and was harvested in good
condition, they had planted a large
acreage and the price is high. They
and with the failures of the potato
crop in other potato states Wiscon-
