COUNTY COUNCIL CUTS ESTIMATES IN MET

Reduces Appropriations Asked By Surveyor and Assessor—Inspects Glenn Home Property.

The county council met in its last day's session Wednesday morning and worked until 10:30 o'clock, when the members left for the Glenn home to rqake an inspection of the property there and take dinner with Superintendent O. B. Lawrence. The council finished up the budget submitted down through that portion of the estimate of the county commissioners that covers the cost of assessing in the several townships, but had not reached the items covering the appropriation for the poor farm purchase or the electric elevator at the time of adjournment. But few changes were made in the budget, and these were In the way of reductions. County Surveyor Anderson's estimate of $1,500 for fees for surveying work was reduced from $1,500 to $500, the assessor of Honey Creek township had his estimate cut $100, while the same fate fell to the assessor of Riley township. The estimate of the Prairie Creek assessor was $387.50, and President Rigney suggested that it ought to be raised 50 cents and thus make even money, but the original estimate was approved. A separate ballot is taken on each item in the budget, County Auditor Wallace calling the roll.

At the afternoon session the council voted $5,000 for the new electric elevator, the vote being six to one.

The sum of "$4,800 also was allowed for the building.of a new school at the Glenn home.

Another Atmageddon on Chalons' Plains

LONDON, Sept 9.—10:06 a. m.—If inspiration means to the French soldier what it did in the time of the first Napoleon, the situation today on the allies' center, on the historic field of Chalons, should offer compensation for a disheartening month of rear guard actions.

At any rate, the allies, now superior or at least equal in numbers to the Germans, evidently have begun the offensive. At least 3,000,000 men are engaged on both sides, and as the center of the allies lies on the plains of Chalons, true to many prophesies, another Armageddon may take place where Attlla, surnamed the "Scourge of God," was defeated by the allied Visigoth* and Romans.
