The Bonril was called to order promptly
I at 9 o'clock Saturday morning. The min
Iutes were read and approved. Roll call
showed oame attendance m the rest nf the
week. The committee to settle with the
sheriff reported. Report adopted.
The finance committee reported that, to
raise the fund necessary to meet the cur
rent expenses of the county, a tnx levy of
40c on $100 would be necessary. Supervisor
Griffin sai l he thought the rate too high ; he
thought the Hoard should get along with
smaller expenditure. Supervisor (iibbs guid
that an assessment of less would not meet
the requirements; that S0o on $100 would
make a deficit of $:i(),000. On motion, the
I report of the finance committee was adopted.
I Then came a great deal more
COAL.
The queHtion of who should pay for the
I coal used by the sheriff for culinary purposes
was called up as a special order, in pursu
ance of Friday's vote. Supervisor Norton
rose and held forth at coniiJerble length

i.V THE LETTEH,
The story K'Oes, that w ben E. Rowimiiii

used to come to the window for hi mail. Mr.

sheriff. lie protested violently.
Supervisor Grillin said that he did not
know of a member of the Iioard whose mo
tives and whoso honesty had nut been as-
siiled by ihe gentleman from Karl; that he.
for his part, hivd nlwayg attributed hnnesl
motives to enry member, even to the geutle
man from Karl. (Applause.) Ho saw no
Swede came he wasn't recognized. Ho called reason for supposing that the salary commit.
tee had been anything but honest, and he
hoped that whichever way the Board chose
to decide the coal matter, there would be no
more foolish accusations of crookedness aud
disuoriesty.
Supervisor Lewis seconded tho remarks of
the gentleman from Utien. lie said that the
gentleman from Karl was just making a rash
to the clerk, '"Is there any mall for virf
"What is the name, please?" enquired the
courteous clerk. The old Swede seemed puz

"Du kiwi,.'" said he; "Do name is on He

Wiekhain, of the I'tlca O'axtte, bus a
turu and each said, iu substance, that it was
only one of a long list of attempts to get
thing paid for twice, and there was great
corruption in the Board.
The Chair then announced the committee
to draft proper resolutions on the death of
Mr. Butterfield : Superiors Lewis, Slaier
hofer and Bowen; and tho committee on the
care of Mr. Reddiek's grave: Supervisors
Lewis, Hollecker and Green.
On motion of Supervisor Ktdes, the roll
was called, an I the Supervisors answered
with their claims for mileage and per diem
for the Septembir maeting.
Supervisor Rrigs stated that a portion ol
the county firm was badly in need of tiling,
and moved that such improvement be made
Carried.
Then came a little trouble about Ihe

Supervisor Lewis moved that the commit
tee on public grounds and buildings be in
structed to propi-rly fix up the grounds of
the eounty court house and jail. Supervis
or Fischer moved to lay the question on the
table till the next meeting in December.
Supervisor Griffin objected to the delay. He
thoHght the present condition disgraceful.
furthermore, ho saul he had it on very ex
cellent authority that the city could and
would lay new sidewalk? around the court

in favor of the county paying the sheriff's
coul bill.
Supervisor Fischer then arose, and he
went for Doc. Norton. He said that the gen
tleman from Karl was a pettifogger at home,
was trying to secure a re-election by making
himself a nuisance to the Board, and was,
indeed, in Air. Fischer's opinion, no good
anyway. He (Fischer) was for paying for
the mule: When Nature first made a mule,
she immediately discovered her mistake and
stopped right there.
Mr. Wiekhain seemed to think it miirbt be
this way with bis press. "You see," explain
ed Mr. Wiekhain, "this press la worked by a
crank," pointing to tho handle on the wheel.
'I work it myself, so." We looked at Mr
Wickbam and smiled. Mr. Wiekhain became the coal. He felt sure there had been no
meditative for a moment, and then laughed a secret agreement. The Board had cut down
nervous laugh, and continued: the gberitTs salary SoOO. in view of furnish
