There is considerable speculation as to who- will be appointed the superintendent ot construction of the Marble ditch. It will pay |3 per day and furnish employment for two or three years In all probability. The man selected should be competent and should bear in mind that he is employed to safeguard the interests or the taxpay-, era who are building the ditch. He should see that specifications are filled to the letter. Charles R. McFarland, the court stenographer, whom Judge Hanley has friendly nicknamed “Packey,” although he has none of the pugnacious tendencies of his illustrious nicknamesake, Is now putting on more style than any man in the courthouse. He has been supplied with a fine quartered oak table for his courtroom work and it is about the nicest piece of furniture in the building. The former table was too high and too cumbersome, but the new article ot furniture is just right Good 4-foot wood delivered at M per cord. HAMILTON A KELLNER.

GOOD NATURED ACTION BETWEEN COUNTY OFFICERS,

Recorder Tilton and Auditor Leatherman Ask Opinion on Release of School Fund Mortgages. A friendly action that affects neither personally has been instituted between Recorder John W Tilton and Auditor James N. Leatherman. It seeks an order of the court to establish whether the auditor’s office should pay the recorder’s office for attesting marginal releases of school fund mortgages. The parties submitted to the court the proposition for an opinion, upon an agreed statement of facts, and each signed the paper submitted to the court Judge Hanley found several sections of law bearing on the matter "at issue and construed them to clearly determine that there should be no payment by the auditor for the marginal release of school fund mortgages. The court’s opinion was exhaustive, setting forth the sections of the statute that supported his opinion and stating that there would be no advantage to the co'Unty by the payment and that it would materially complicate the bookkeeping. The court’s opinion will probably be brought to the attention of the accounting board and it was to avoid a controversy with the advisory board that the opinion was requested. . ;

Cecil Clouse, who was working at Vincennes for some time, came home about three weeks ago with a carbuncle on his back. He has since then been confined at the home of his father, Levi Clouse, and has been having a lot of trouble with the “pet.” It is on the left shoulder at the back and is about the size of your two fists. It is showing some tendency now toward healing. , One of the best companies of musicians that were ever engaged to give a concert in this city will be here tonight at the Presbyterian church.
