EXPERT SERVICES COME HIGH
IL Cost County Nearly Two Thousand
to Check Up Omcials.

VI
Contracting with the National Account
ing company of Des Moines to check up
the accounts of the outgoing county Off
GERS has proven to be a costly experiment
for the taxpayers of Pottawattamie
county, and the expense, it is said, ex-
ceeded by far what the Board of SUPER
visors anticipated the work would cost.
Under the contract the board agreed to
pay for the services OF an expert &C.
countant at the rate of 1850 a day. The
records show that c. ]. Richman. the first
checker sent here by the Des Moines COM
pany, drew pay at $3.50 a day for sixty
one days. or a total of $51S.5G. c. A..
Pierce, who succeeded Mr.. Richman.
worked sixty-nine days and drew 1856. so.
In addition to the two experts, Frank Van
Brunt and Jay Cleaver. two young men
of this city, were employed as assistants
at SO a day each. Van Brunt drew for
thirty-nine days and a fraction S1l7.35,
while Cleaver. who is credited with forty
eight and a half days, drew $155.16
This makes the total cost OF checking
the offices 31,377.50, but this, however,
does not include the expense of checking
up the books and accounts OF II. V. Batty,
the former clerk of the district court.
For this work the National AccountinS
company drew s5S4.45, making the total
cost of checking the offices 81, s61.95.
Prior to the contract with the Des
Moines company the checking was done
by local experts, Thomas Bowman and
Spencer Smith, who checked ali of the
offices, received in all but 3536.74.

Little Nation Counselled by Russia
to Its Territorial
Claims.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 1.-The Russian
government has sent a telegram to the
Servian government counselling Servia to
renounce all territorial claims and await
the decision of the powers.
According to the official version this ad-
vice was given in response to a note TO
the new Servian cabinet assuring Russia
of Servia's sincere desire for peace and
firm resolve to abstain from any provoca-
tive or aggressive acts.
The Russian minister at Belgrade has
been instructed, in communicating to the
Servian government, to assure Servia that
its demands for territorial compensation
would find neither sympathy nor support
among the powers and might entail war

Wage Exemption Matter.

Laboring men are preparing savagely to
attack the latest of the wage exemption
bills before the legislature, This bill pro-
vides in brief that in regard to the earnings
of a resident debtor 10 per cent OF such
earnings shall be subject to execution upon
judgment obtained for personal and family
necessities and this is TO be for a period
Of ninety days. In other words, as the
laboring men say, the attachment is on a
ninety-day basis, so that in reality it is
80 per cent of the monthly wage of a debtor
that is subject to attachment. This pre-
sents the matter in a form a little different

Franklin Model d

Model D i not a big expensive machine. 1t is OF moderate
size, a~bundantly powerful-an automobile you can afford to
own and to use every day.
You can make speed with Model D and make It comfortably.
1t does not fatigue the passengers or by its ioltng dissipate the
power. Its fu~n.elliptic springs and Eliminated wood chassis
frame absorb and neutralze the shocks from road Inequalities.
Model d is commodious and strong without excessive
weight. Not only does it ride comfortably, but with its air
cooled engine it has plenty ofreserve power. 1t is quick to Get
away and quick to stop. You can use the horsepower and not
strain or rack the automobile. In Model d you get full value
of automobile enjoyment.
The only way to fully realize Model D is to use it. Weigh
ing, as it does, one-third less than the average watercooled
automobile of equal ability, it gives the minimum tire and
operating expense.
This is the fifth year of Model D.. 1t is a tried and proven
Standard-the ideal automobile for alLaround service.

State Fair OnerinEs.

Secretary Simpson in going over the ac-
counts of the state fair, made the discovery
the other day that as a matter of fact the
state has not been advertising the total Of
premium offerings as large as the offerings
really are. He had an exact computation
made and finds that this year the premiums
in cash foot up over $1,000. From year to
year there have been additions made to the
list and 1t had been some time since a
computation was made, and it Is a hard
task to figure it all up, The state has
been advertising less than it has really
been offering. Included In the cash offer
ings is about 1900 of money from outside
sources, such as $3.50 from the Shorthorn
association, $3.50 from the Angus associa-
ton, 800 from the Herefords, 500 from the
olled-Durhams, $3.50 from the Belgians,
etc. Last year the state fair paid in actual
cash $50, 900 in premiums.
The matter of the right of different per-
sons employed about the legislature to Sc
cure stamps from the public supply has
been turned over to the office of attorney
general for a legal opinion in the matter.
State officers want to know who's who In
such matters and to have 1t determined
once for all how money or state property
can be secured for use. Opinion is divided
and it appears that the statutes are not
as clear as they should be in regard to
some things.

Survey of the Rivers.

The plan for the survey of the rivers of
the state with a view to disclosing their
value for water power or for navigation
will be materially changed. A bill was in
troduced by Mr.. Moore of Wapello pat
termed somewhat after the laws In New
York and Wisconsin and calling for the
modest sum of $4,000 for the work. Now 1t
Is found that the federal government con-
templated something along the same line,
and action on the Moore bill has been de-
ferred until 1t is known just what plans
are to be carried out by the federal COM
mission. Then a bill will be passed for
some kind of a commission to cooperate
in Iowa with the federal commission in
survey Of the Des Moines, the Iowa and the
Cedar rivers. 1t is possible that in case IT
is found impracticable to make an appro-
priatlon for this work a commission will
be organized of men who will undertake
the work without compensation, the sur
veyors and investigators, of course. being
paid, So earnest are a number nj men in
this matter that they will undertake to or
ganize a commission without pay to direct

NfIOm a SlaII correspondent
DIES MONIES, March I.-(Special.)-Th
druggists of the state are much alarmed
over a bill which has already passed the
senate and may possibly pass the house.
This Is a bill which is intended to aid in
the reformation OF those who nave become
addicted to drug or liquor habits and who
have taken a cure for the same either
at private Institutions or at the state hos
pital. The bill was recommended by the
board of control and it forbids all sales
Of liquor or narcotics to persons who have
taken the cure" unless upon a prescription
of a physician.
But as the bill has passed the senate, -
said a prominent Des Moines druggist, at
will simply compel every druggist in the
state to take OFF his shelves all the pare
goric and collie cures we have. One Of the
~best-known of the latter contains a large
amount of both morphine and chloroform,
and everyone knows that paregoric Is a
narcotic. 1t will not alone be trouble over
liquor sales to strangers who, II afterwards
develops, have at some time in some state
taken a cure for the same, but 1t will pre-
vent ordinary sales of many substances to
persons who use them rightly"
1t is said that the druggists have taken
counsel of an able lawyer and have been
advised that the bill in it's present form will
have an effect not at all intended by those
who voted for it.
