In the county clerk's office yes tcrday morning Fred R. Ginn took the oath of office' and became clerk. For the present at least he will be assisted, by John E. Evans, whose familiarity with all county business makes him a valuable as sistant to Mr. Ginn. Mr. Holtry will assist in the office for a few days and will then devote his time to his ranch south of Hcrshey, though the family will continue to reside in town. During his four years' incumbency Mr. Holtry proved a very efficient and accomo dating clerk, and retires with the good-will of all. In the treasurer's office Mr. Scharmanu succeeded himself, and will retain Ed S. Davis as his deputy. This means that the affairs of that important office will be conducted for the next two years in the same capable and efficient manner that has marked the past two years. Judge Baldwin succeeds himsclt as county judge, and enters his seventh year in that capacity. So successful, so impartial, and bo careful has Judge Baldwin been in the discharge of his duties, that it is likely that he can retain the office by yirtue ot the votes of the people as long - as he may desire it. At the county jail Lincoln Car penter succeeds Tim Kcliher as sheriff. Mr. Carpenter moved his family and household goods over from Buchanan yesterday and is now busy getting "thingB fixed." He has named as his deputy V. C. Foldeu of Deer Creek. Mr. Car penter is a careful, resolute man, and his deputy bears the same reputation. It is therefore certain that the business of the sheriff's office will be well conducted. The retiring sheriff, Mr. Kcliher, has made a good record, and proven a popular official. His plans ior the future are a3 yet indefinite. He has moved to the Ouimette house on the corner of Third and Dewey street. The board of county com missioners is composed of James S. Robbius, M. L. McCullough and John D. Keliher, the, latter taking the oath of office yesterday. Mr. Rabbins was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of L. Carpenter, and by virtue of the appointment becomes the chair man ot the board. To have two new men on the board at the same time is something that has not occurred in Lincoln county for many years. Mr. McCullough has been a member of the board for two years and during that time has attained a thorough insight into county business. He is therefore in position to acquaint the new members with the exact condition of aifairs. O. V. Neale, county superintend ent elect, will assume charge of his office tomorrow. Mr Neale has been principal of the Sutherland schools and thought it beat to finish out this week's teaching, though he waB entitled to take pos session of the office yesterday. Mr. Neale is a well known educator, having taught in the county and in this city for a number ot years. He is an energetic, pains-taking man, and weare Confident will render com plete satisfaction in 1 he discharge of tiisduties. Miss Thoelecke, whore tircB from the office, will accept the principalship of the Sutherland schools That she has been a thoroughly competent and popular superintendent no one can gainsay, arid she is certainly entitled to credit for the advancement the county schools have made during the four years they were under her supervision. C. P. Koss retains the position of county surveyor, the voters last fall having re-elected him. Mr. Ross has performed the duties of hiB office well and economically during his past incumbency and will continue to do so. Our fusionist friend Dr. McCabe succeeds D. W. naker as coroner. The office is not, as a rule, an im portant one, but' the duties which the Doctor may be called upon to perform, will undoubtedly be well done. To the outgoing officials our best wishes tor future success is ex tended: to the new officials con gratulations and the wish tor pleasant dffice duties are extended. COMMISSIONERS' ritOCEEDINGS.
