THAT SMALLPOX BILL.
County Auditor Expects to Trim Sew

Larimer that number of items do not
constitute an emergency expense that the
county board may pay.
The bill, as filed with the county clerk
is for 1882. 25-the total expense of the
epidemic. Among the items Larimer IS
not sure can be paid by the county is one
of salary for the superintendent, amount
ing to something like $500. Other items of
repairs he believes do not rightfully be-
long to the account, and he calls atten-
ton in a report filed with the county
board this morning, to a large amount of
money paid to DR.. o. F. Narcotic and
several nurses, which he is not sure al {

Larimer also calls attention to the alb
sence of receipts and says he believes re-

fore the bill is allowed.
THE purpose of the city seems to be am

the former agreement" Larimer notes,

city and county were to divide the eX-

paid an aggregate of 1885, being $40 a day
for the time he spent in fighting the cpl

might be said against tobacco chew

Local Fights Will Play Part.

Local Fights Will Play Part.
Added to the complicated situation
as affecting the state tickets of both
parties, are local conditions that are
expected to largely affect the result of
the primaries and to call to the polls
a tremendous vote. In almost every
county both the Republicans and
Democrats have stubborn fights for
county offices. 1t is in these fights that
the element of personal friendship en-
tiers to a great extent and the county
contests will hold the party vote close
to the lines.
1t is a free guess on the results of
tomorrow's primaries. The big vote
that is assured, the factional feeling
that has been aroused and the stub
born contests in both parties are fea-
lures that cannot be overlooked in
basing a prediction on the results. In
