CLERK BATTELS STATEMENT CORRECT Board of Sapervlsors Fixes Salary of Iter. Henry Del.ong, Probation Officer, at Fifty Dollars Per Month. Supplemental reports were filed with the Pottawattamie county Board of Super visors yesterday by the checking commit tee. W. B. Reed and J. M. Matthews, with reference to their findings In the offices of O. O. Balrd, county recorder, and H. V. Battey, clerk of the district court. The previous report on the affairs in the record er's office was to the effect that a fee of 75 cents was being charged for the recording of a certain class of chattel mortgages, and that 70 cents only had been reported on these Instruments, that being the statutory fee. Mr. Balrd was called before the board and asked to explain th situation, and he said that he was following the custom of the office, but would turn over tho amount the committee might find to be the differ ence withheld, on a re-checklng of tho books. Upon going over the hooks with Mr. Balrd's book of original entry, which was not used before, the committee found that the amount of the difference was $270.85. There was $2.96 due the recorder, the sum being made up of fees reported in excess of those received on certain Instruments. Supervisor Baker Inquired as to whether the committee had observed the practice of Mr. Balrd's predecessor, and In answer Mr. Reed said that they had not Investi gated the books prior to Mr. Balrd's term sufficiently to make any statement as to them. As to the affairs in the office of the clerk of the court there appears now to bo no controversy, the supplemental report of the committee agreeing with that of Mr. Battey as to the amount of money In his hands April 3. It Is shown that the clerk had $1,242.28, and all but $24.75 of this amount Is held either by order of the court or because the time has not arrived when It shall be necessary for the clerk to turn over the un claimed amounts to tho county treasurer. The amount last mentioned might be the subject of controversy as to whether It is made up of claimed or unclaimed fees. If they are claimed they are rightfully In his hands, and If they are unclaimed they should be with the treasurer. They are amounts due attorneys with whom he has accounts and he holds that they are claimed, and Informed the board that Judge Wheeler Indicated hlB belief to be tho same. The several items of county costs, the account of which In the previous report Mr. Battey objected to, were placed by the committee In the list of items erroneously checked. Office In Good Condition. Mr. Matthews stated to the board that the affair In the office of the clerK were In better shape than ever before, and ex plained that this was nut made a part of their report because the committee did not consider it a part of Its duty to report on other than the finances of the office. In accordance with the resolution au thorising the employment of an assistant to the deputy clerk In the office at Avoca, Mr. Battey named Laverne Tolllnger, the board allowing $200 per year for clerk hire. The original action of the board author ized Deputy Clerk J. M. Tolllnger to hire his assistant, but as the clerk of the court has the authority to employ tho men' In his offices the resolution was reconsidered and the privilege given to Mr. Battey. Under the new law fixing compensation for probation officers, who have hereto fore been compelled to give their services free of charge, the board fixed the salary of Rev. Henry De Ixing, who has served three years In that office, at $50 per month. Judge Wheeler brought the -matter to the attention of the members of the board and Informed them that the statute gives him the right to fix the salary. He pre ferred to leave the matter to the board ...... w- rw t it i,t o.. ! . ..io .hi. th.v Atn The board solved the problem of cutting down expenses on telephones by deciding to leave connections with both line In the offices of the auditor, sheriff and clerk of the court and one tn each of the offices, giving the officers the right to make the election of the telephone to be used.

Memorial Exercises la Park. Captain J. J. Brown of the Grand Army of the Republic committee that haa charge of the Memorial day exercises, haa made a requeat of the Board of Park Cotnmls- sionera that Fairmount park be placed at the disposal ol the veterans May 80. -The oldlers feel that the march up Oakland avenue to Falrvlew cemetery, which had been made prior to last year. Is too much for them, and It was found that the park waa a more desirable place for the exer cises for this reason. Fairmount park can be reached by the street car line and this la an advantage the veterans desire to U C C I, THE ICE CREAM MAN avail themselves of this year. The speeches will be delivered from the handstsnd on the hillside. The board granted the re quest. Secretary W. H.

Tn the district court yesterday Judge Wheeler wss occupied with the trial of the case of Elisabeth Flower against the Con tinental Casulty company, the suit being to recover tl.ono, the amount of a policy, of which the plaintiff was the beneficiary, held by Robert C. Flower, her son, who met death by being etnick by a Great Western train. Nearly all of the testimony had been taken at the time of the adjourn ment of court In the evening. The com pany Is contesting the payment on the ground that the policy provided that In case death was by accident because of the carelessness or negligence or the violation of any law by the Insured, the company would be liable for only lino.. The claim Is made that It was by an act of carelessness on his part that he met death. The sum of $10n has been tendered In payment, and the other $900 Is contested. The question at Issue Is as to whether or not Flower met death while standing beside the track, being struck by something projecting from a car. as Is claimed by the plaintiff, or whether he had climbed onto a car and was thrown under the train, as is Claimed br the defendant company. Nellie Sweeney, a little girl who witnessed the accident, tells a story In substantia tion of the latter. Another . witness said he saw a car door swinging as the train passed him, but he did not see the accident. There Is a suit for $20,000 pending against the Chicago Oreat Western Railway com pany, brought by C. A. Flower, executor of the will of Robert C. Flower. Petersen & Schoenlng sells matting.

NORTHWESTERN EARNINGS SHOW GAIN Cashier Ware of the Seymoar Rank, Whose Defalcation Embarrassed the Bank, la Sick and Likely to Lose His Mind. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE8 MOINES, April 26. (Speclal.)-Re-ports of the Union Paclflo Railroad com pany to the executive council and on which the assessments are based show that the road's net lose more than doubled on Its Iowa mllage, though on Its gross busi ness on the entire system there was a big Increase in the business done. The road has 2.08 miles of trackage In the state of Iowa. Every year the road reports a loss on Its Iowa business, though there is a big Increase reported on Its business on the entire system, due to the fact that the report gives the trnnsfer charges be tween Council Bluffs and Omaha as the earnings of the Omaha side, and the execu tive council of Iowa, which assesses the Iowa trackage, believes that these earn ings belong as much to Iowa as to Ne braska. The gross earnings of the system reported to the executive council are $42,110,429.19 and the operating expenses $23,478,722,88, leaving the net earnings for the system $18,037,700.31. On the Iowa busi ness the road reports the gross earnings $U27,i04.83 and the operating expenses $3n, 752.87, leaving a loss of $81,148.04. One year ago the net lows was reported as $32,814. The last taxes paid were $23,486.85, and the year before the taxes paid were $11,138. The assessment of the company by the executive council each year waa the same and the Increase In the taxes paid In Iowa Is therefore due to the Increase In tlie taxes levied locally In Pottawattamie county. The Northwestern road also filed Its re port today jrhlch shows that the net earn ings during 1906 were $23,888,000 for the en tire system. On the Iowa business the gross earnings were $14,636,209 and the op erating expenses $10,888,352, making the net earnings $3,748,057. On the business of 1906 the net earnings of the road in Iowa were $3,602,81. Ware Vnder Trained Karae, Cashier Le Roy Ware of the Seymour bank Is In the hands of a trained nurse, according to Information that reaches this city today. Officially It Is said that the shortage of Ware will reach about $160, 000 at the least, but unofficially from other sources it Is said that the shortage will go considerably more than that. A doctor was called from Centervillo today for Ware, and it Is asserted in Seymour that there Is danger that Ware will Uise his mind. There Is little doubt here now but that speculations caused the downfall of Ware. These speculation were not perhaps made by Ware himself, but the money was advanced by him from the bank funds and were Invested by other persons, with the understanding that he was to get the bulk of tho profits. There would be no surprise If a receiver for the bank waa asked for by some of the depositors. When it was expected that the shortage would amount to but $40,000 or so it was known that the stockholders could meet all short age, for the capital stock Is $80,000, and this Is assesslble up to the full face value of the stock. Now there are fears that the loss cannot be made good. Hunter Recovers Sanity. Matt Hunter, the man who killed Homer Holland, a Drake university student, and who went Ineano at the Fort Madison pen itentiary by his refusal to work and take exercise, has nearly recovered his sanity at Anamosa and has consented to go to work. Hunter's refusal to work was a legal question for a time.- The warden refused to begin his sentence till he began to work, because he was sentenced to hord labor. Under the strain of solitary con finement his mind gave way and he was sent to Anamosa. Within the Inst week he has consented to take work In the tailor shop. William McWilllame, the man who killed his entire family and was sentenced to hang. Is now entirely Insane at Anamosa. Old Bids Not High Bnooajh.
