DUTIESSADLY NEGLECTED
TheCommissioners In a Dilemma-^Treasurer Kessler'e Balance^Sheet-Cant. Shepherd's Pe^^tition-Other Matters.
Bitte.Juno 21. ^ Owing to another^n^ ccssarj absence of the county attorney,^the county commissioner!! were this mora^^ine; again deprived of hi^ valuable advice^willed they had been promised and which^they needed on several important matter*.^H^- had lieen ordered to be in attendance^but sent word with the auditor that he was^net ready to report. The commissioners^^ ere utterly disgusted and in their di-^lenMM they sent for Judge McHattou and^asked him what power the board had to^compel the county attorney to attend to^his duty.
Doyou ask me as your attorney or as^judge of ihe district court,^ usked Mr. Mr-^li.it ton with a smile. ^If as nn attorney,^the rule is to put up a retainer llrst.
ChairmanMeQuecney replied that his^opinion was asked as a judge and county^officer, and if he would not give it in that^capacity, then they were willing to pay^liim as an attorney, but 1 lie judge said that^under tho peculiar circumstances sur^^rounding his position os a district judge ho^could give no opinion outside of court and^not unless the matter was brought l^cfore^him in the form of some legal proceedings.^Mil h as a suit or application. He assured^the commissioners that they bad his pro^^found sympathy but he could give them no^more. ^1 feel for you,^ he said, ^but I can^lint reach you.
Theboard thon decided to go to some^out.-ide attorney for advice, cost what it^uill, but tbey did such things before and^the county attorney afterwards came in^ami told the board that it had no right to^do it without consulting him and that tho^bill incurred was illegal.
Woare simply up the stump.^ said^Chairman McQuccncy, ^and must dance^to Baldwin's fiddle.
Severalprominent attorneys who have^been consulted in regard to tho matter^have declared to the commissioners that^the county attorney is absolutely supreme^in bis office, and that no body, commis^^sioners or judges, have any jurisdiction^ever him. The law gives him absolute^power, and while there is u law to regulate^every other officer in the state there is^none that can reach a county attorney^who does not freely choose to do his duty.^The commissioners concluded that they^were powerless in the matter, anil decided^to employ outside legal advice necessary^to transact their business. They were^urged to stop tho attorney's salary, but^they did not think they had the power to^do so.
Thecommissioners were at work to-day^on the treasurer's books. That otliccr sub^^mitted the following balance sheet for ap^^proval, showing tho amounts in the differ^^ent county funds for tho quarter ending^June 1:

Bittr.June 21.^James H. Wallick's^'^Cattle King,^ which opens Thursday^evening, is a little out of the order of^remedy dramas. It contains many new^features and tableaux of a sensational^order, and abounds in startling scenic^effects, thrilling climaxes and exciting^situations. The comedy element pre^^dominates to a great degree. The special^^ities, music, singing mid dancing are^catchy and interesting and are presented^by a number of well known si^eeialiy^artists. The plsy possesses symmetry and^tells the story of a hero whose heart is^always in the right place. It has a fensi-^ble plot null is presented by n company^that is strong individually and collectively.
Mr.Wiilliek. the representative of the^hero. Taylor, is a robust actor and one^that holds the attention of the audicno^through tho entire performance. Of^i-ourse. Mr. Wallick's famous horses^come in for a large share of attention^during the progress of the play. In fact,^thev are no small part of the production.^Haider was once ow nisi by the noted out^^law MSSS James, while the others were^reared and trained bv Mr. Walliek nt his^stock farm in New York state.

The^stench that arose from it was enough to^turn the strongest stomach and s|m^il al^^most anyone's ap|^etite for breakfast, anil^the faucets were turned oft a good deal^quicker than they were turned on. At the^hotels the guests were compelled to put^up w ith mineral w ater or champagne.
Duringthe afternoon several fire p'ugs^were opened in different parts of the eily^and an effort made to clean out the mains^by letting several hundred thousand gal^^lons go to waste, but the effort fuiled. for^the water seemed to get dirtier and^blacker c\cry minute instead of growing^clearer, and the hydrants w ere finally shut^off. The patrons of the company will con^^sequently he compelled toilrilik and mas^^ticate hair, blood and other refuse until^the supply is exhausted.
