SUPERVISORS CHACRINED

ScavengerS or the county, the
board of supervisors met in ex-
traordinary session some weeks
ago, and all members being
''Teepleized' answered aye to
the roll call. The occasion be-
ing one of great moment it was
deemed expedient to hold the
meeting as a Star Chamber ses-
sion. For this reason we were
unable to give the proceedings
at the time as the record was
hidden from the public, and after
a lapse of several weeks no min
utes of the events have percola-
ted thru the official organ of the
gang that usually publishes the
padded proceedings of the board.
But from outside sources we
learn that the county attorney
featured at the Star Chamber,
being hastily summoned before
the solemn assemblage and
placed on the carpet for alleged
infractions of the rulers of
''TeepIedom. {" He was minute
ly interrogated by the members
of the august body and it's clerk
(Teeple) relative to his personal
conduct and concerning several
symptoms he had already shown
during his short official career
differentiating from the well
known anchor of "TeepIe boss
ISM" It is reported that the
answers of the attorney were
not satisfactory to the STAID
members of the solemn assembly,
Whereupon, the bell-wether of
the board, as spokesman for it's
clerk (Teeple), announced, that
the board had the goods on the
attorney and that he was. COM
manded to resign and that he
better do so at-once to save his
bacon and further exposure.
To the chagrin of the august
body the attorney appeared def
ant and refused to obey orders.
Commenting on the matter he
inferred that the board and its
clerk (Teeple) could go fishing
as far as he was concerned. Dur
ing the discussion that followed
it developed that the attorney
had as much authority to demand
the resignation of the members
of the board as it has to ask for
his. In the mixup that ensued
the board was advised that. the
proper method of removal was
by recall or impeachment, and
over these matters its clerk
(Teeple) had no jurisdiction.
The august board being non
pulsed by such bold effrontery
on the part of the attorney, even
in the face Of the well known
rules of ''Teepleized" procedure,
the Star Chamber meeting of
the solemn assembly adjourned
sine die. But at the next regu-
lar meeting of the board, the
members still chafing under their
defeat in attempting to remove
the county attorney, proceeded
to employ assistant county
attorneys, and drew on t h e
county exchequer in payment
for their retaining fees. This
extra expense for legal SER
vice is being inc urred over the
objection of the county attorney
who has not asked for assistance.
He seems of the opinion that if
the board and it's clerk (Teeple)
are doubtful of his ability to prop
erIy handle the legal affairs OF
public interest he should be ac-
corded the privilege of selecting
his own help instead of being
hampered in his duties by a
multitude of incompetent barn
acles more adopted to hedging
the wheels of justice than lend
ing helping hand.

If You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon for
gotten The reason is plain-the
article did not fulfil the promises of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly to a medicine. A medic
inal preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy

many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every case
il shows excellent results, as many
of my customers testify. No other
kidney remedy has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who
have used the preparation, the sue
cess of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
due TO the fact, so many people
claim, that it fulfils almost every
wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
