While no charge of extravagance can or haa been made against the outgoing board, It la rea lised that tho coat of running the county has materially Increased In re cent years. The first step taken In this direction was In cutting down the amounts allowed "to county officers for clerical help. The treasurer's applica tion for a clerk at $600 per annum was rejected, and $200 allowed for clerk hire; ' The deputy treasurer will receive $700. In the county clerk's office a deputy at $700 has been allowed, but In stead of a recorder at $00, clerk hire to the amount of $250 was deemed suf ficient. Sheriff and superintendent's salaries were fixed at $1,200. MtORT TIME AXD-NO SIPPMKS Burlington Adopts Btreaoonaly Rlajld Policy of Retrench men t. PLATTSMCUTH, Neb.. Jan. 19.-(Spcilal.)

RIO JANEIRO, Jan. 1.-Rear Admiral Roblcy D. Evans, commander of the Amer ican fleet, took occasion today to express ppreclatlon of the magnificent reception accorded tha fleet by the Brazilian govern mcnt and the Brazilian people. A serious attack of rheumatism, from which lm suf fered soon after leaving Port of Spain and which has persistently troubled him ever since, has prevented his enjoyment of the many receptions and entertainments or ganised In honor of the visitors, but has In nowise lessened his appreciation of tha efforts of the nation to make the sojourn here a pleasant and a memorable one. The admiral Is now anxious to press on to his destination. All the vessels are In ship shape' and have taken on their supplies awaiting only the signal from the flagship to weigh anchor and begin the third wing of the Journey to Magellan, a distance of Z.60O miles or morePunta Arenas, on the east coast of the Brunswick peninsula, the most southerly town of any Importance of the world, will be the next stop. Admiral Evans said today that he did not anticipate any difficulty lnthe passage of the strait of Magellan by the fleet in regular column formation. The so-called dangers of the strait he does not consider serious and he believes that tha fleet of battleships under his command, with the accompanying flotilla of torpedo boats, will make the tortuous trip without a Jar. Midshipman F. 11. Roberta, the executive officer of the destroyer Hopkins, which arrived here with the flotilla yesterday was removed to the battleship Vermont today suffering from a fractured leg. As alstant Paymaster T. K. McMillan of the Virginia has been transferred from tha vessel to the Truxton. Paymaster William II. Doherty of the Missouri, whom Admiral Evans ordered before a general court-martial for absence from duty without leave, has been ac quitted.

Whistles all over the district blew, while crowds cheered In the streets of Ely and every bell In the town was ringing. Ah!" This was the first exclamation of Bailey when he reached the outer air. Without another word he tottered forward Into the arms of comrades who stood ready to assist him and was led to the change room of the Alalia shaft, where In a few minutes he recuperated. 'Is that you, ArthurT" queried Fred McDonald as his brother stepped forward and embraced him after nearly seven long weeks of separation. "By George, It cer tainly seems good to be out of that hell hole," lie said as fq waa lew away, tell ing his brother In a high-pitched voice of hla terrible experience.

From the bottom of the 'compartment In which the men were working to the pumping sta tion, a distance of eighty-five feet, a series of rickety ladders offered the only means of escape. With falling rocks'' and timbers streaming down upon them the five men struggled up these ladders. . Hulf way up falling timbers knocked the two Greeks from the ladder, killing them.' Bailey, McDonald and Brown managed to reach the pump station. Its well timbered roof withstood the rock and timber that came down the shaft and offered them shelter and safety Here for the first day after the cave-In the men crouched, while at Intervals they could hear the rocks and timbers crashing above them. At first It was thought that all the men had perished, but twenty-four hours after the cave-in the three, men who occupied the pumping station managed to make themselves heard by tapping upon the six Inch wate.r pipe that stretched from the pumping atation to .the aurface.

"Publishers are probably unduly appre hensive as to the effect the new regula tions of the Postofflce department govern ing expired subscriptions will hsve on the ordinary newspaper. "It is not the purpose of the department to in any way embarrass the business of legitimate publishers, but, on the contrary, to be of material help to all such.

"The new regulations do not provide that copies of publications may not he mailed to persons whose subscriptions are not paid In advance and that where cople are so sent the publication Is liable to be debarred from the malls.

It Is more convenient for those who contest homestead entries and claimants in contested cases. A large majority de sire to have these cases tried in the land office. There were 500 witnesses at cases tried at Broken Bow during the first eleven months of 1907. 4. It Will be more convenient for the large number of homestead entrymen making proof within the next three years, about 1,800 in all. 5. There Is a large amount of business transacted at thla office as evidenced by the records for tho first eleven months of the last vear, as follows: 581 homestead entries. 11 final proofs, 82 cash entries. 122 plats. 87 applications to purchase Isolated tracts, now pending In the general land office; 82 applications to amend home stead . entries, 51 eaaes of United States against homestead entries disposed of, homestead applications and final proofs rejected and other business which did not appear In the report of the office; 4,077 let ters written, besides a large number re turned to writer with reply endorsed on them. 6.
