Los ANGELES, June 25-SittinG
by the bier of Mrs. Annie Ritz Mi
litz, founder of the Home of Truth,
followers of the cult today watched
their teachers body and waited for
the spirit of life 10 return.
Dead for three days despite her
promise to reinhabit the flesh with
in that time, there was no sign of
life in the corpse before them, yet
the faithful few did not falter III
their belief.
An extension of three days more
time was asked owners of Pierce
Brothers mortuary, where the body
lies, members of the sect agreeing
that if their leader does not return
to life within that time, they will
be certain she is happier where she
is.
Attendants ;at the undertaking
parlors agreed that the body shows
no sign of decay and appears very
lifelike. At Mrs. Militz' request,
the corpse was not embalmed.
For 80 years the teacher has
preached the gospel of "the Truth
of Jesus Christ, - which includes the
belief of the resurrection of the
body after death. She has hundreds
of followers all over the world, and
her passing is admitted supreme
test of the truth of her teachings.
Attending physicians, lacking the
vision, say she is dead:

REPORT OLD AND new COUNTY REGIME
CONTINUED from page oe)
How They Did 1t

Looking under the head of examiners Notes." anC
under the subhead County Commissioners" the reader
should digest the paragraphs telling of the deal with w
H. Slayton Company to pay them S7,750 for legal work
proceedings in connection with refunding bonds.
Near the close of the report under the heading Com
parative Statement Of Warrants Issued" are found the
startling figures that summarize the work of the Poplar
administration. In 1920 they spent 1894, 954 in running
the ounty-considerable more than than a thousand dol
lars for every day of the year. In 1921 they spent $685.
405 for the taxpayers. By 1922 they were becoming
alarmed and thinking of election, still they went through
$224,114, over $500 per day.
Cut 1t In Two
Then the "Clean House administration took hold
under a promise of economical and honest government
ming the county during 1923 for $122, 106. No wonder
the examiner is led to comment that this comparative
statement is very interesting" And that a noticeable
reduction in the operating cost of the county has been
made in the past year" which may Eventually place the
county on a S sound financial basis"
A big item in the saving of $4,000 for the county,
during the last year, was the more than S17 1000 saved in
Most of the rest of it is no doubt accounted for by the
vigilance of Commissioners Lesson and Young in handl-
ing claims and disbursing the county's money.
Promptly Filed
1t should be noted that this report was dated at Helena
on February Is, 1924, and was filed in the Clerk and Re-
corders office of this county on Feb. Fl, 1924. Consider
ably faster work than in 1922 when the report was not
filed for months after it had been received by the Board,
and the people of the county got their first chance to read
it through the activities of newspapers of the county other
than the official paper.
In this last report the examiner takes the precaution
specifically to direct that "this report must be published"
with the commissioners proceedings. Hence The Herald
is able to reprint it from the official paper, The Poplar
Standard.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-03-27

We find that this office has created a fund known as witnesses and
tons given out by the Board of County Commissioners. Witness and juror
general fund in the order of their registration. All balances in the witness
and juror fund must be returned to the general fund.
The cash accounts reconcile with the accounts in the office of the clerk
and recorder.
The treasurer should set up a investment account to take care of the
sinking fund investments and such accounts must be carried in the general
ledger and N the monthly balance sheet. The county clerk will AIRY a
like account OF his books.
COUNTY CLERK AND RECORDER
The fees collected, from cities and towns for registration books must
be entered in the fee book and RENTED in the regular manner. The regis
traton book fees for the years 1920, 1921, 1922 and 1928 were all turned
over to the county treasurer while making the examination.
We were unable to find an accounting for the absent voter application
fees, under Mr.. John C. Dryers administration in the amount of S199. 20.
We were advised that SOM of such fees were collected and the receipts
used for postage, ETC. However, this is a fee of the county clerks office
and should have been accounted in the same manner IS all other fees. The
above balance due should be RENTED to the county treasurer.
The commissioners minutes are written up to December 1. 1928 signed
by the chairman of the board of county commissioners and attested by the
county clerk.
The official bonds of county officers arc regular, filed and recorded ex-
cept the bond of Mr. Hardie is not recorded.
The bonds of the justice of the peace re not approved by the onn+v
clerk and recorder as required by law.
COUNTY DEBT
