OTTT SALARIES'
At the conncil meeting last Tuesday evening the following salaries for city officers were agreed upon. Mayor $1,500 00 Treasurer 4,000 00 Clerk 1,600 00 Deputy Clerk 780 00 City Engineer 1,400 CO Street Commissioner 1,000 CD Marshal 720 00 Market Master and Janitor 500 00 City Attorney ............. 1,000 00 Each School Trustee 200 03 Each Member Board of Health 160 00 Asst. Street CoanmiMloner per month 55 00 Each two-horse team on streets ... 8 00 Each street laborer 1 50 Each dty comigilssloner per day. 3 00
These are the same as last year In addition tbe treasurer is allowed three per cent, on delinquent tax collections, and must day his deputy from his allowance. The chief of police rocives $1,000 and chief of the fire department 1,080, these figures being fixed by ordinance. An amendment to the fire department ordinance was proposed. It changes the salaries to these figures: Chief, per month 85 CO Amdstant chief* per month .-. 70 03 Chief of Are alarm, per month 7 0 0 0 Each fireman, per month 00 00
The amendment was laid over for two weeks, whe nit is believed it will pass. There certainly should be no objection to it, as it enly puts the fireman on a level with members of tbe police force, although they are on duty ail the time, and when their services are required they incur greater risk.

A bridegroom must be a man of nerve if he expects to retain his equilibrium on all occasions. It is very seldom, that a newspaper man starts on a journey leaving his nerve at home, but such a case evidently happened this week when one of the local fraternity started on his bridal trip. He had bis trunk marked in big letters with name and destination, but when he reached the Big Four depot he had so far lost control of his faculties that he selected a Boston drummer's baggage and had it checked to his destination. The drummer' arrived on tbe scene of aclion^a few minutes later, soon discovered the mistake, and traced :t down. But it required the combined efforts of that drummer and the bride seme time to show the journalist his error and correct the mistake

COUNTY ASSESSOR
The first thing done by the county commissioners when they met last Monday morning was to elect a county commissioner. It took only one ballot te decide the matter. Erwin S. Erney received two votes to one cast for Frank Schmidt, the democratic candidate. The bond is $5,000, the compensation $3 per day, and tbe appointee serves until his successor is elected and qualifies in 1892. Immediately after his election Mr. Erney appointed as his deputies Ben Stunkard, city W. S. Burgan, Lost Greek, and J. D. E. Kester, Prairie Creek. Their work* will be in the office, and will be confined to hunting up property which in some mysterious way has escaped taxation. Their compensation is $3 per day and their services will stop July 4th. The assessor's work will commence just as soon as the township assessors make their returns to the county auditor and -the latter official turns the books and papers over to him. One of his principal duties will be to look after corporations, of which Seotion 61 of the new law says:
