The law providing for an In crease of pay of supreme Judges from $4, 000 a year to $8,000, also provided that It should go Into effect January 1 next. But the attorney general holds that this date for the operation of the law relates to other matters thn that" of salaries snd that by the terms of the constitution of the state the law In fact went Into effect last July. As Judges cannot receive an Increase of salary during the terms for which they are elected, only two of the Judges, both having been elected since the law went into effect, are able to get the larger pay now. The matter had been submitted to the at torney general by the state auditor. Two Ifew Iowa Banks. The Union Savings bank of Ames became Incorporated today; capital, $25,000; A. H. Munn, president; H.

In th district court today Judge Thornell ren dered his decision la the rase of Nelson against Harriaon county. This esse was brought to enjoin the Board of Supervisors from issuing bonds to pay a large amount ot unpaid warrant lasued by the deposed board on the ground that th warrants wars Illegal. The court holds that a mem ber of the Board of Supervisors may not us bis . own team and help to construct fills, etc., even though done unler the cam of contractor; that a dealer Is not Justified In charging an exhorbltant fee for furnishing lumber under contract with the board, and that the board has no authority to buy real estate tr a poor farm without submitting the proposition to vote as con templated by the Iowa statutes. This saves to the county an amount aggregating $8,875 for two supervisor districts and whsn th litigation Is concluded will have saved the county In the neighborhood ot $15,000 for the whole county. ettl Daasaae Cases.
