Messrs. C. B. Ellis and E. B. HoX-
sey. expert examiners for the state
of Iowa. are in DenisOn this week
checking over the books of the differ
ent county officers The work will
probably require months time and
the county is to pay the expense. The
examination is made under new law
that has recently gone into effect and
mot because of any irregularities on
the part of the county officers. The
different officers of every county III
the state are to be examined in like
manner some time during the year.
The method Of having state eXamin-
ers go over the county records does
away with the checking heretofore
done by committees from the board of
supervisors and will no doubt prove
very much more satisfactory. The
gentlemen in charge of the work here
do not hesitate in complimenting the
local officers on their system of book
keeping and the manner in which all
of the public records have been kept.
Mrs. Henry Slender was up from
