The Board of Supervisors yesterday in-
atructod the county attorney fo confosa judgment -
mont in the action bi'ought by Henry Wiese
and othersagainat thq Board of Supervisors.
( in ( Ida actIon the property owners of Avoca
\ sought a reduction of the assessment of a
) large amount of property from the figures
placed , by Board of Superve'ars. When
the nssesrincnts Were returned It was found
I thai 'the agrlcultural lands in the township. '
, I in which other town.9 of the county were
situated were assessed at a much higher rate
than were the farm lands hying in the
township around Avoca. The supervisors accordingly -
cordingly raised the valuation about 200 per
cent , and the property owners brought the
suit to. have the assessment reduced. An
examination of the books showed that in
the other townahiips certain lands had been
assessed at a high rate as farms hands , when
they should have been assessed as town
propcrty. This brought Ihie average below the
assessment of tue Avoca hands .ind led the
eupervisor to ir.ake the increase. When the
matter was finally explained and understood
there was no obJeticn to the reduction asked
L in the suit brought by the property owners.

Judge Smith was once interested as attorney -

' by one of the attorneys. Now when that
attorney is anxious to get to trial the judge
of hIs own motion refuses to take up the
' trIal , and the attorney took an exception
to the court'a ruling. The case has been
down to the supreme court and back so
often that it is familiar to every judge
on the bench and is about as far from being
settled as it wa several years ago , when
Obarhiolzer failed in the cigar business and
ICir.ports sought to get a foreclosure of a

The board of supervisors Is discussing the
advlslbiiity of making a change in the manner -
ner of printing the claims allowed by the
board from term to term. The practice has
boon to print an itemized showing of the
allowances. and the result is that a very
large amount of newspaper space at so much
per line is charged UI ) to the county. The
supervisors have an idea that the law will
be complied with if they lump the items
under different bteads , For Instance , the
Item "witnesa fees , district court , 322'
% would only require ono line of paid epaco In
the official organetto , while the publication
of each Item would require several hundred
lines. No action was taken , but tliO change
will probably be made if the board can see
Its way to make It and stiil comply wIth the
law. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Georga Ramsey , a middle-aged man , is
being held in the city jail pending an inquiry -
quiry into his sanity. His case is a partic-

the youngest a babe of only a few months ,
and the eldest not over 7 years old. He told

All day Sunday ho sat on his bed In the'

wife and the enforced separation from his
children. After talking a moment grief
paralyzen his tongue and his speccil becoms
thick and maudlin , like the tones of a man
