boys which make quite goodly num-
Der got together and cleaned up the
yard and moved their mother, Mrs.
A. Spena, into her pretty new cottage
just north of the J. ]. Keraus home.
The boys cleaned up the yard until it
was spick and span and after placing
the furniture in the house, every
thing was ready for occupancy.
They received their reward in the
shape of an excellent dinner cooked
by their mother. Mrs. Spena now
has the neatest cottage in town.

During the four years ending Janu-

named below reported fees collected
in amounts as follows, to-wit:
Probate Judge. 8 S72 80
County Clerk. k. 687 80
County Treasurer. ... los so
Clerk of District Court. $50 80
4 In addition to the fees in the above
list, these four county officers received
salaries from the county for their
four years work as follows:
County Treasurer. 3434 40
County Clerk. k....... 29I2 10
Clerk of District Court. 80. 1849 IL

These figures are official but they
do not include the clerk and deputy
hire allowed to the county clerk and
county treasurer The probate Judge
and clerk of the district court do not
get any allowance for clerk hire or
anything else on the side. If they
need any help they must pay for it
themselves. 1t may be seen that one
of the four officers reports more fees
than any two of the others almost

yet he is at the foot of the list when
it comes to salary recognition. This
is not wholly the fault of the law.
1t is on account of the way the law
is applied in Trego county. 1t is evil
dent that the more the officer does
for the county and future genera
tions, the less the county does for
him. The more work the less pay,
comparatively. He cannot by faith
full and conscientious work increase
his pay one cent. AS the law is APP
piled in this county the officer gets
just as much for doing nothing as for
hard, honest work. AS applied here
the law practically puts premium
on dishonesty and careless work. 1t
discounts fidelity to public duty and
faithful, efficient public service. But
it is not altogether the fault of the
law 1t is the result of a penny wise
pound foolish policy which punished
the public servant for his honests
and efficiency. The more honest any
careful he is, the more punishment
and the less appreciation he gets. 1t
would appear that public servants
VINO are faithful under such circum-
stances deserve something better
than gratuitouS libel, to say the
least of it.

CONFIRMATION N IS LACKING
Persistent Rumors In Circulation That
McManigal Has Made a Com.
pIete Confession.

Los Angeles. CAL. April 29.-Al
though 1t has been reported for sew.
eral days that a confession had been
made in the dynamite conspiracy case
no official confirmation was forthcom-
ing, but Ortie E. McManigars actions
tended to confirm the belief that he
would not accept help from the union
attorneys who are to defend the Nc
Namaras, joint defendants in the
Times explosion case.
He declined to see Attorney Job
Hartman, former Socialist candidate
for vice president and counsel for the
Mcnamara brothers.
District Attorney Fredericks had
said that the prisoner would see none
of the lawyers associated with the
defense and McManigal later con-
firmed this personally to Hartman at
the Jail.
Hartman upon emerging from the
sheriff's office declared that John j.
Mcnamara and his brother James are
now the only ones in whose behalf
the defense would center it's efforts.
The only visitors McManigal willing
ly receives are men from the district
attorneys office, Sheriff Hammel and
operatives Of the detective agency
that rounded up the alleged conspira.
tors in the act.
All the detectives who came West
with the prisoners Wednesday called
upon McManigal and found him in a
mood more jovial than at any time
since he is alleged to have made pre-
liminary confession to William j.
Burns in Chicago.
E. R. Mills. local agent of Detective
Burns, said that two other arrests
are impending and that "they will be
