It was evident tlint tho latter will claim

It Is shown that tho prlvnto estates of

Itccorilcr Smith IIcipi-iiiIiicm to IJn
forcc Ills Claim on (lie Coauly.
As it result of tho Board of County Su
pervisors refusing to nllow his bill for
clerk hire, County Recorder Elmer E
Smith yesterday dispensed with tho services
of his two assistants. This will leavn tho
work of tho ofllco to bo performed by tho
recorder nnd his deputy. Wllllnm Lnrscn.
Mr. Smith will bring suit ngnlnst tho
county to enforce his claim for clerk hire,
I'lidcr the law tho county recorder Is
permitted to retnln $1,500 per nnnum out
of tho fees of tho olllco as salary nnd ho
Is further nllowed ono deputy nt $900
year. Recorder Smith says tho wprk nf
the office cannot possibly bo kept up by
himself and one deputy, nnd this Is gen
ernlly conceded to be the fact by tho
county officers, but tho wording of the
statute puts a stumbling block In thn wny
of tho board nllowlng tho recorder nny
think for clerk hire.
Last year Recorder Smith paid for clerl
cal work $1,458, Just $52 short of his full
balnry. On nn nverago. over GOO Instru
mcntB aro filed for record each month, all
of which havo to bo copied Into tho records
nnd compared. This, It Is claimed, Is mnro
work than tho recorder with tho assistance
of one deputy ran possibly perform. Spong
ing of tho matter yesterday, Recorde
Smith said- "I do not Intend to work any
longer for the glory of tho thing, and havo
laid off both my assistants and tho office
will havo to get nlnns as best It enn wllh
out them. Tho work of tho omco Is bound
o get bciumi nnd I no punno win do uic
sufferer, hut 1 cannot help It. Until the
board scee fit to allow me sufficient to pay
for tho necessary clerical help tho office
will huve to do without It. 1 havo quit
paying for It out of my own pocket."
On the part of tho county bonrd it is
said that It would be perfectly willing to
allow the recorder all tho holp necessary
If It could sco Its way to do so legally.
ltecorder Smith expects to Ilia his suit
against the board In tho district court to
day, and tho court will ho naked to set nn
early dato for hearing It.

for tho famous Tlppecanoo club in this city,
which is in reality a stato club. The old
Tlppecanoo voters, or those who voted for

pared a fine silk bannor to go to tho county
which showed tho largest republican gain,
or gain In republican majority each year, a
county to hold It ono year and tho banner
to bo awarded each year. This was in the
campaign of 1SS0 nnd a magnificent banner
wns prcpnred. Now a now banner Is bo
Ing propured, which will bear on It the
nnmes of tho various counties ot tho stato
which havo hold tho bnnncr and tho years
they woro entitled to It.
Tho banner has circulated about a good
deal. Hero Is Us record: Winnebago
county, lf)8!i; Clay, 1800, and in succession
tho following counties: Dubuque, Scott,
Plymouth. Scott, Howard, Seott, Decatur,
Scott, Monona lust year and this year again
to Monona. Scott county got tho banner
four times by manifesting great fickleness
In voting. Monona mado great gains two
ears In succession, as It wns tho only
populist county In tho stnte and tho pop
