Which simply illustrates what is liable to happen when wc are foolish enough to send IJIxby "sapheadb" to make our laws. Sometimes we are mighty well pleased that wc arc not a part of Kansas. Hoiiso Hull Number L'3ll If enacted into law would abolish the olllee of the clerk of the Dlstiiet Comt in this county, which illustrnUs the fact that anything is liable to happen whenever a legislature gets to woik. There is enough for the members of tho No ' braslm legislature to do if they will conlliiu themselves to the real needs of tlie people and we see no reason whyn county with fifteen thousand population needs it clerk or the district court and n county with fourteen thousand population should not. If this ofllce WrtS abolished in thlscouuty it would cost those who have need of the ofllce from three to tin times as much as it does at tho present timo We trust Hint our representatives will give this their attention and defeat the measure.
