Some Things The Superior Did

The board of supervisors did some queer thinigs at their last session Friday, one of which was to rescind the oíd resolution allowing1 the circuit judge $100 per year for railroad expenses, he mot to Teceive or use railroad passes during his term oí office. This was a proposition from the board itself, some ago, and Judge Kinne has always implicitly oteyed the request. A certaini leader of the free silverltes on the board has for a long time had this sticklng In his eye or throat, and so he induced another member to offer the resolution. It w.as carried, but after a committee had waited upon the Judge, and had the conditlon of affairs explained to them, they at once very wlsely reported ini favor of re-enacting the resolution. Then they demaiuded of Ex-County Clerk Bansingburg the $100 the statute says he should have deposited when he demanded a re-count of the -votes - which amount they failed to find on deposit - and as a salve to his wounds allowed him $100 for canvassing the electlon returns ; whatever that mlght have been. Another rfeht t hing they did do that was right. They allowed the probate office $400 for clerk hire. This will go to the probate register as a pieceout for the starvation, salary he was allowed at the great whlttling of salarles last f all. There was a rumor about town that after the board had worked three days at $96 a day, over a ten ceat cut om one of the deputy sheriff's bilis, that they would: vote apon a resolution reduclng tlneir own salaries from $3 to $2.99 a day, with no pay for Sat-urdays and other days not actively in session, but no one had the courage to do it, and they all drew their pay for $3 a day, Saturdays and Mondays included.
