Supervisor (lender has overdrawn his
legal salary to the extent of $Mi.lH.
This is tho teport of tho special eom

previous meeting of tho hoard mi mo

Snpui visor lleht refused to sign tho
report, so it Mauds as tho report of
.Supervisors Ooet. nml Swnnson.
Tho report wns written by Goetz. It
points out that the statute limits n
supervisor's salary to fiiOOnyonr. It
finds that during l0l Supervisor
Krnst drew out n tolnl of $740. M). It
linds that Supervsor Hentler drew ont

8HOUU) SHOW OAUSK WHY TIIKY
SHOULD NOT i'AY TO THE
COUNTY (JKNF.UAL FUND THE
AMOUNTS ILLEGALLY DRAWN.
No sooner wns the report read thnn
Mr. lCrnst was on Ins feet. He object
ed to having the report show tho
amount ho bad overdrawn until ho had
nil opportunity to explain himself. , Ho
mid Hint le and Held hnd agreed up
n u division of their work mid that
he did not like to have the committee
brand him us a criminal. Ooet. secur
ed the floor mid made a sensible talk
on the duties of tho supervisors and
the laws which control them. Ho said
the committee would not bo hard ou
the offenders by beginning action
i imii'st them at onro but that a roa-soitiihl-o
time would bo given them to
show why thny had not violated tho
1'iw. Ir was luft to Supervisor Men
der 'igain to show tho temper for tho
mix ring. He secured tho floor with
grent vehemence and indignantly
moved tho old familiar motion for
"nu immediate trial, a trial nt ten
o'clock tomorrow." He declared he
could prove his innocence. At the
next meeting of the board Messrs.
Ernst nml Homier will appear to show
whv tlmv should not pay back about
f.'iOO to the county.
What turn will be takei then can
not be guessed. Eveiyono agrees that
supervisors like a thousand othor
pnhliu nlficors niton enrn morn than
the Jaw grants' Hut all peoplo agree
that it is dangerous to permit public
offinors elected to nilniiuister tho
laws, themselves to disregard the laws
which regulate their salaries. If tho
peoplo of Platte county -wnnt to tram
ple tho law under font to pay this ex
tra ?.()o just herame these officers put
in their time, then they will be so
conscientious as to insist on paying the
same men for the time tliey spent in
Lincoln Inst winter looking after tho
interests of Plitte county tax payors
ami the Standard Hrnlge Company.
While the Journal will gladly print
in full the defense ol the supervisors
who are asked by n oniinnittrn made
up of both political parties, to "put it
bark, ' the v nlict is nlriudy tunned
in the minds or the nulilie It says
to every public oflicer, " It you don't

PEACE EFFORTSARE SINCERE
President Roosevelt Has No Advices
Warranting Pessimistic View.
Oyntor, Hay, N. V., July 19. No ad
vices, either from this country or

plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan.
Ou the contrary, It can bo said that
such advices as the president has re
ceived Indicate that u sincere effort
on the purl of the representatives of
both belligerent nations will be made
to reconcile their differences and ne
gotiate a treaty of peace that, will be
permanent. The terms that Japan
will propose have not. beeu made
known, evMi to Mr. Roosevelt, and
they piobably will not he until the
conferees asi.eiuble as a peace com
mission. 'Flint the Ifimu will not bo

the president has Intimated to the
