Hon. John Jl. Bust liri' gs Action Against Two County Ottivial. Yesterday afternoon John R. East tiled suit against Auditor Ilinkle, Treasurer, T. H. Sudbury and the County Commissioners. The complaint in full as filed is as follows : State of Indiana County of Monroe ( ss. In Monroe Circuit Court, Oc toher Term 1S95. John R. East vs. johnathan M. Hinkle, Auditor, John R. East being iirst duly sworn on his oath says that he was on the 25th. day of April, 1S95, and for many years prior thereto, has ever since been and now is a bona tide resident of Monroe County and was then and is now the owner of real and personal property subject to taxation in said county of the value of at least one thousand dollars, that on the said 25th. day of April 1895 the said defendant Jonathan M. Hinkle was and for more than two years prior thereto had been the duly elected, qualItlgdqud acting Auditor of said County of Monroe. That on said date the board of commissioners of said county had been called to meet in special session for the purpose "to attend to bridge business and appoint a superintendent of workhouse and any other business that may properly come before them." That such notice was issued on the 20th, day of April 1S9S calling said board to meet on the 25th day of April 1895. Did not in any way or form show or express on its face than on emergency existed for the calling for said board to meet on said date and that no emergency did exist for the calling of such board together that on said date the defendant Johnathan M. Hinkle without the knowledge of this plaintiff presented to said board a claim for a large sum of money alleged to be due him for salary, -tcwit the sum of Eighteen Hundred and thirty dollars and seven cents, which claim to said amount was then and there allowed by said commissioners and by them to be paid out of the County Treasury; and thi said Hinkle then and there ordered as such Auditor to draw a warrant for such sum payable to himself as such Auditor. That at the time of the decision of such board in making such allowance this plaintiff was not present, did not know of said allowance until the 8th. day of June 1895. That at the time of making said allowance the said Johnathan M. Ilinkle in violation of his duty as such Auditor and as affiant verily believes for the purpose of preventing an appeal being taken from such decision he wilfully failed and refused to publish in any newspaper whatever published in said county that said allowance had been made until the 9th. day of June 1895, and that during all of said lime there has been published in

said county at least four weekly newspapers of general circulation as also two daily papers. And that said failure to so publish such allowance was as aifiant believes done for the purpose of preventing an appeal being taken from said allowance within thirty days

from the date of same. Affiant further says that said allowance so made was in addition to the salary allowed him by law and was unauthorized in any manner or form whatever. That this affiant has ever since been and now is aggrieved by the decision of said board in making said allowance and the order thereof has been kept a secret from the public by said Auditor for the purpose of preventing an appeal therefrom and a trial of the merits of said claim. That had this affiant known of the existence of said allowance by said board he would have appealed from said order and decision of said board within thirty days from the date thereof but that by reason of the conduct of said Auditor as herein set forth he says that he has been prevented from taking such appeal. He further says that he had no knowledge whatever of the existence of such decision and allowance and had no notice either actual or constructive of its pen dancy or that the same had in any way been allowed until the 8th. day of July 1895, when on learniug of the existence of said order he at once commenced to prepare this appeal from said decision and now files an appeal bond payable to the said board of commissioners conditioned for the payment of all coss which may be occasioned by this appeal, and that he will duly prosecute said w 1 1 . appeal lo enecL ana pay vvnaiever judgment which may be rendered against him by reason of such ap peal. That he is interested in the result of such decision as a taxpayer of said county as herein before set forth. Subscribed and sworn to before me this .... day of July 1895 Auditor of Monrqe County. Deputy Grimes states that the allowances were made according to law, and that there was no veil of secrecy spread over the Board's actions. The decision of the supreme court made it proper for the commissioners to make this allowance and it was done on the basis of the law of 1879. e claims Auditor Hinkle had not drawn his fu!l salary under the acts, of 1891, since-September, 1894.

Hilton, state a?nnt of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Kentucky, says: "In 1889 and '90 I had two severe attacks of LaGrippe, the Jast one attacking my nervous .system with such severity that my life wiis despaired of. I had not slept for more than two months except by the use of narcotics that stupefied me, but gave me no rest. I was only conscious of intense mental uvakness, agonizing bodily pain and the fact that I was hourly growing weaker. When in this condition, I commenced using Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. In two days I began to improve and in one month's time I was cured, much to the surprise of all who knew of my condition.
