The Board of County Commission

mp another batch of routine work,
| such as has engaged it's attention for
some time past. AT it's last session
1t received reports from county OIL
Gals for the year just closed, which
make favorable showing Circuit
Clerk Brown reported receipts OF
$408.55 in excess of expenses for the
last six months, and of $34S57 for the
first six months of the year. He had
1887 Instruments to record during the
year.
Ex.Assessor and Treasurer Nellis
reported $3,184.14 balance in the
county treasury which he turned over
to his successor, Capt. Lippitt.
The board is in quandary over the
situation with respect to the sheriff's
office. EX-Sheriff McManus reported
expenditures to the amount of $3.50
for the time that he held the office
under the governors appointment
This sum he paid out of his own
funds, as he held the office during a
time when nothing was coming in Elk.
Sheriff Davis, however has made his
report up to the close of November
covering twelve days of the time dur
ing which Coroner McManus was
sheriff. Mr.. Davis does not recognize
his removal by the governor and the
appointment of DR.. McManus as valid.
md has taken action to set it aside,
ienying the constitutionality of the
aw under which the governor acted.
This action may not be finally ad.

MOUNDS, ILL.


The business men and citizens in
general of Mounds have received a
New Years present that is apprecia.
ted by all. The gift is from the Home
Telephone Co., and is in the shape of
a cut from $500 to $500 per month
for business phones. This ends the
telephone war in Mounds and the
happiest man over the outcome is
Willis Friganza, manager of the local
office.
Mounds has over 800 voters in the
city limits, according to the census
just taken for the purpose of deter
mining the exact number. This shows
a great increase over last year, over
a hundred more. This will give Burk-
vile precinct nearly 900 votes at the
next general election. This number
will be plenty, added to the villa
Ridge vote to elect the next county
officials.

warded to the examining commission
OF Copenhagen University and that
tho commission is examining them
win be made in the Poltiken tomor-
row. The receipt OF these records by
the university was made known in
these dispatches last Tuesday.
AS the diaries contain nothing in
the nature OF a scientific evidence be-
yond what was supplied in the type,

versity by Walter Lounsdale, DIR.
Cooks secretary. the commission can
not, of course. alter its decision that
the explorer had produced nothing to

merely a matter of corrtesv. The

Gated in advance by the decision
based upon the examination Of the

Thus. from one point Of view, Coo!
is simply forcing upon the commits
.on a work of sunererogation. From
qnother point of view, he has taker
step which may result in the las
shreds of the reputation left to hin
eng torn away. Rumor says that
TIC commission has examined the
original diaries by microscope and
has found traces of pencil alterations
which concmsiyely prove that Cook
endeavored to interpolate into the
original diaries certain entries sug-
gested to him by observation of a
Journey to the pole furnished by Cap
ain August WedeI Loose in New

Il this rumor, which some believe
to be well founded, should prove t.

H THEL lived on a large estate in
h a quiet little country village. In
u front of the house was a beauti-
full lawn where flowers and trees grew.
Back of the house Ethel had a gar
den of her own, in which she raised
flowers. She did as she pleased with
these flowers and many of her friends
We're delighted to receive a bouquet
from Ethel's garden.
In the summer when sweet peas were
in the height of their leauty. Ethel cut
several punches of them each day. She
decorated the house with them, but
stu had some to spare. She said to
her mother, Mother 1 wish l knew
some one l could send these flowers
to. 1t seems as if all of the people
around here have plenty of sweet peas
in their own gardens.
One day Aunt Helen came to spend
her vacation witl9Ethers mother. Aunt
Helen was a charity worker among the
poor people in.-the slums of a. large
city. When Ethel took her for a walk
about the garden she was surprised to
see the flowers growing in such great
profusion.
"Oh, Ethel" she exclaimed, II wish
I had some of those flowers in the city.
They would cheer up many poor suf-
ferer You country folks do not ap-
preciate your great blessings. Here the
flowers are dying and in the city there
are children who never have a flower
of their own. If you could see them
looking in the florists window, your
heart would ache for them"
when you go back to town. Aunt
Helen, we will cut all the flowers for
you to take with you. l know it is
shame to let them go to waste, but as
l told mother, all the folks around here
have flowers in their own gardens,
replied Ethel.

fore breakfast. We can make them
into tiny punches; then we will go
into the city on the early train. l will
take you to visit some of my pro-
teges. You can give them the flowers
and see for yourself how my sick folks
will appreciate them," said Aunt Helen.
Early the next morning Aunt Helen
and Ethel were in the garden. When
they had finished they had basketful
of tiny punches of sweet peas. Ethel
called them fairy wings because they
were sc dainty.
Ethel was proud of her flowers. Many
were the envious glances cast toward
the flowers by the people on the train
After leaving the train they boarded
a trolley to go into the lower part of
the city. AS they neared the slums
Ethel said, "Oh, Aunt Helen, l don't
see how people can live down here.
1t is so hot and dirty"
MY dear, they don't live. They mere
ly exist. You should be thankful that
you live out in Gods own country,
away from the sin and strife of large
city" replied Aunt Helen.
At the corner of little street they
left the car. "The first person we
will visit is little Johnny Kane. He is
a little newsboy who had his arm
taken off by trolley car"
