REPORT HERE.

The report of the auditors who
made an audit of the books of the
County Officers has been received
in this city, and has been filed. Mr..
Oscar who resigned as County
Clerk December 1st and has been
awaiting the report has made a
complete settlement with the county
in accordance with the report and
all of the affairs of his office and
has been given a receipt in full. In
fact practically all of the funds were
on hand in the hands of the County
Treasurer before the auditors had
completed the report, and only
awaited the report to wipe the slate
clean. Mr.. Oscar has decided not
to be candidate for the position
again when the board meets. He
has several fattering offers one of
which he will accept, and will leave
in few days for Madison where he
will confer with associates. The
Auditors who went over the books
state that the records in the offices
examined were in fine shape, and all
the misunderstanding have been
cleared up.
