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

Matters In District Cnmrt.
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

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

pletely confounded his malicious traducers and vindicated both the Doctor and
his medicines. In consequence, his medicines have enjoyed a popularity and
increase in sale of late, amounting almost to a boom, and i't is believed that this
greatly increased demand is due largely to the fact of Dr. Pierce's open, honest
way of treating his patrons and patients by reposing conriili.nce in those who
trust in him and his medicines. He has no secrets to withhold from them.
He publishes the composition of his medicines openly and above board, so thai,
all who use them mny know exactly what they are taking. Tims they are
placed in a clans all by thematleta and cannot be considered as either secret or
patent medicines, for they are in (act neither.

Even In the chronic or ulcerative stages
