LEGISLATURE
Proceedings of the SOIOns
at Columbus.

Columbus, o., Feb. 22.-Wednes esday
was a county salary field day in the
general assembly. The house passed
the Wilson county salary bill by vote
of 101 to 9 and the senate gave its ap-
proval to the. Berry county salary bill
by vote of 81 to 8.
The Berry bill provides a slightly
higher range of salaries than is pro-
vided in the Wilson bill, but there are
other radical differences and it is like
ly that conference committee will be
appointed by the house and senate to
harmonize the views on the salary
question as expressed in their re-
spective bills.
The Wilson bill provides that all
fees shall be collected and turned into
the treasury and shall constitute a fee
fund. The aggregate amount allowed
for clerks, deputies and other expenses
in each office is to be fixed by the
county commissioners and is to be ap-
portioned by the. officer as he sees fit.
All clerks and deputies must be paid
before the officers salary can be
drawn and If the remainder is not suf-
ficient, the officer himself is the suf-
ferer. This provision is designed to
promote economy. A penalty of $4,000
fine and forfeiture of office is provided
for violation of the proposed law. The
bill was amended so as to provide that
1t shall go into effect January 1, 1907,
but shall not affect the salary of any
officer during an existing term.
The maximum and minimum sala-
ries fixed by the bill as it passed the
senate are as follows, the intermedi-
ate salaries being determined by a
schedule graded according to popula-
ton along the lines of the Wilson bill:

to investigate charges of cruelty and
other things preferred against the

Governor Mickey found that there
had been some cruelty inflicted by at
tendants upon patients, but the attend
ants who were guilty of cruelty had
been discharged some time ago by DIR.

AANDcAR'S WILD RUN.
Broke Loose and Ran Down Hill From
Ealrfax to Anoka.

Fairfax Sun Review: Monday after
noon as Section Foreman Stanek was
working about the railroad yard at
this place his hand-car, which he had
left standing on the track, blocked,
became released in some way and
started down the track for Anoka.
After informing Station Agent Ed
ems, who Immediately wired Anoka,
MIR. Stanek started down the track on
the run to see If he could not stop the
car. The accident happened about 2
o'clock in the afternoon and Stanek
and Mr.. Edens were both a little bit
anxious, for fear that the car might
be derailed or go past Anoka and thus
delay, IL not cause an accident to the
passenger train coming up. However,
word was got to Anoka in plenty OF
time and when the car came sailing
around the bend into the town 1t was
stopped Mr.. Stanek, who started OIL
shortly after the car went covered the
Intervening miles between here and
Anoka in remarkably short time,
reaching there in a little less than an
hour after he lett fNlrlaN. IL anyone
has an idea that he didn't go n mighty
good stepping stunt, just let him get
out and try to run eight and one-third
miles In less than an hour. When sta
mex reached Anoka he was as wet from
perspiration as though he had been
completely under water, and was al
most exhausted, but he Immediately
got onto the handcar and pumped and
pushed it all the way back up here
alone, reaching here about 4:l5 o'clocR
very muchly "all in," but elated tt
think that no harm had come from his
little cars escapade. The grade be
tween here and Anoka is one of the
steepest on the Northwestern system
and had not the car been heavily load
ed 1t would surely have left the track
1t must certainly have attained n great
speed on the down trip.

A fire which had started mysterious
| ly in the barn of J. l.. Lynde on South
Ninth street at 6 o'clock last night,
did little damage. The fire department
was called out but did not make the
run, as the flames were smothered be-
fore they had fairly started. The fire
started in the curtain of a little toy
theater, in the loft, and was discovered
by Mrs. John Walters, who rushed to
the scene and eXtinguished the fire.
1t is said by those who saw the let
ter which was written by Mr.. Wolfe,
farmer at the insane hospital here, to
| Governor Mickey, that the matter will
not be dropped by Mr.. Wolfe when he
learns of the result of the governors
investigation. Mr. Wolfe, in the let
ter declared that unless the things to
which he referred were publicly in
vestigated, he would give a copy of
his letter to newspapers in the state
for publication. There is no fear of
the result of this attack, even If it is
made.
