In meeting as short as that of the

will be, the County Court of Maury
county met Friday, authorized the
loaning of the sinking fund, and ad-
journed. The meeting was pursuant
to call issued by Judge w. o. Cor

the sinking fund and for the transac-
ton of any other business that might
come up. But the County Attorney
rendered an opinion in which he held
that the court could consider no bust
ness other than that specified in the
call, which narrowed proceedings
down to point where all the fun was
spoiled.
The court was called to order at 10
o'clock by Judge Gordon, the invoca-
ton being delivered by Esq. VOORHEES,.
A roll call showed fifteen members
present, an exact quorum, two others
coming in later.

Special to The Herald
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 9.-The
Independent judiciary candidates to-
day issued an address in reply to the
proposition for a separate primary
from the State committee. They de-
nounce the proposition as a subter-
fuge that does not remove and was
not intended to remove the objections
to the first primary plan. 1t still, they
say, leaves the nomination of the
judges under the autocratic control
and domination of the Governor.
1t seems, they say, to array them, as
candidates, against the candidates
whom the Governor has selected. They
have no assurance Of good faith in the
light of the committees action two
years ago In changing the plan after
the election had been held. The con-
ditions have been entirely altered
since their refusal to enter the prima-
ry as first ordered, which places the
plan now offered in light different |
from what might have been If origi-
nally proposed.
The Governor, it is said, has pro-
posed to crush them and they can't
trust their candidacy to his keeping.
1t is not their own personal interests
that is at stake, they say, but the in
dependence and integrity of the courts.
The address is signed by Judges

FARMER HANGS HIMSELF
Reason Ben Johnson of Rio Ended
His Life Is Not Known.


Rio, Dec 30.-The lifeless remains
of Ben Johnson, farmer near this
place were found hanging in his barn
yesterday by one of his children. The
man had evidently committed suicide
and had been dead some time before
the remains were discovered. No
cause for the deed can be given by
the family. Mr.. Johnson was a well
known farmer living about a mile
and a half south of Rio in Knox coun-
ty, having a wife and three children.
He recently made a deal whereby he
came into ownership of a farm on
Pope creek and expected to move to
the location within few days, He
had planned sale which was to be
held shortly and has been busy with
moving plans for some time.
Yesterday morning he was appar-
emily in his usual health and frame
of mind and went about his work. He
was last seen alive about 9 o'clock
after which he disappeared only to
be found hanging in the barn at
o'clock.

IN BURLINGTON
Result of a Rock Islanders In
vestigation as to Commits
sion Form.
is WORKING FINE THERE
Meeting in Behalf of the Proposition
Sunday Night at the
Rink.

Following the circulation of certain
rumors in this city to the effect that
the commission form of government
( recently adopted in Burlington, was
not proving satisfactory, Dr. Louis Os-
Strom wrote a letter of inquiry TO au-
thoritative sources there and the re-
plies he has received are indicative OF
the fact that the people of Burlington
/ of all classes are strong for the new
plan of municipal government based
on their experiences SO far, Rev. c. J.
! Sodergren, vice president of the Iowa
conference of the Augustana synod re-
plying to DR.. Ostrom's letter says: CAS-
TO the rumor in circulation that the
commission plan is a failure in Bur
lington, that we all want to get rid Of
it, and are very much Disguised with
it. you can nail that as lie. On the
contrary it is a success in Burlington.
We all want to keep it and are very
much pleased with il. Something of
course depends on the men placed in
office. A plan is only a tool more or
less perfect, but given the right kind
of men this is the best tool yet. This
is the general concensus of opinion
here in Burlington. Everybody feels
too that they will get a square deal.
GIVES SOME FIGURES.
My own reasons for favoring the
plan are in part as follows. The po-
lice court has been turned into a
source of revenue. Last year there
was a deficit of 81 ,0S4. This year (bas-
ed on six months) there will be sur
plus of S2,9S0, making a saving Of
S4064. During six months last year
the lighting of the city cost $1,349. For
the same six months this year, SCI, a
saving of $1,2S1. This year the city
gets two percent and more cash dis
count on bills paid where before it
asked and got nothing. Twentyeight
dollars was saved on hose alone in
two months. This year we got 1891
in dog tax, last year nothing and we
employ no dog catcher, only a solicit
tor The city gets interest on its de-
posts now, nothing. before. The may
or says that the plan has saved the
city $4,000 in the last three months.
There is small chance of graft under
the present system. All sessions are
public. all accounts accessible. Any
commissioner who fails in performing
his duty can be relieved of his commits
sion at any time. These are a few of
the many reasons that favor the plan
