Relative to the matter. State Auditor Howard said this afternoon: Replying to the Journal article of toda will say that the county treasurer exam iners purchased this mileage for tlu office. We have not had time to checa up the Journal story as to amounts, but presume it is somewhere near correct.

This accounts for the grand total being much larger. REAVIS WILL ADDRESS AUBURN COMMERCIAL CLUB AUBURN, Neb., Dec. $. (Special.)
