ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS STREET'S SHORTAGE. [t Seems to Have Been a Mere Campaiga Yell, toard Simply Wanis Reports in Detard There has e ynsiderable talk caueed by the charge of the democratic an a before election that County fow days Clerk Street was short 89,000 in his ac ints, It was r on the eve of the | election, aud 1t was impossiblo to place the matter in a complotely satisfactory showing to tho voters without going the books in detail. aw rcquires that the clerk shall ix montha make a statement ¢f un- clatmied witnees feos and pay the amount of such monies_over to the county treas urer, who would then bocome the cus. todian of the money, instead of tho clork, This Jaw has been iznored by all clerke, and the county board has never insi on such a tranefer. In fast the matter has been allowed to go along loosely by county boards as well as county clerks. One of the reasons for the precedent thvs established is that witnesees generally apply to the clerk and expect to get their money from him, 1f the ‘unclaimed witness fees are turned over to the treas urer, then when a witness is to bo paid, he gots a certificate from the olerk, pro- sents it to the auditor, the auditor draws an order on the treasuser, and the latter paysit. This red-tape businessis avoided by the county clerk keeping the fund and paying from it direct, av least that is ono of the excuses given for the failure to turn over the amount on hand at stated periods. The onlysafe and straight way, however, is to do as the law requires, and while county clerks have been negligent, the county boards have also boen negli- gont in not demanding such roports and transfers. The present county board concluded that it would turn over a new leaf and have the law strictly oomplied with. Accordingly a resolution was adopted calling upon Clerk Street to make the required report. As tho matter had been allowed to_run so long this report could not be made up in a day or a week. The board employed Mr. Ware to check over the books, and Mr. Strest employs Mr. Elies Sears to assist. Mz, Street on learning that the board wanted the monies put in the treasurer’s hands in- etead of kept by him, had drawn a ch to co the amount, as he figured it, and h placed it in the treasurer's hands, but when it was decided to make a dotailed examination he recalled the check, thinking it preferrable to hav the exact amount agreed upon by all parties before traneferring the fund, The cry of ‘shortage’ seems therefore decidedly premature, and sprung ss it was iudicates more of & desire to def Street than Lo protect the pul or to got at the real facts. The following shows the action of the board L2asolved, By the board of supervisors of Pottawattamio county, Iowa, that S D. Street, clerk of the district and circuit courts in and for said county, be and is hereby required to make to this board a full and complete report and accounting of all moneys collected and received by him for costs paid him as clerk, und court costs during his term of office n such clerk, commencing January 1, 1881, and from that time to the present, also that he make a full and complete account to this board of all fines, penaltles and for- feitures collocted and paid him as clerk of such courts within said time in said court which are unpaid to such wit- nesscs, and what he has done with the same, and that ho bring bfore the board with said report propez vouchers from the treasury for all moneys colloctod by him within' said time and paid into the county treasurer, and that he also state ald report the title of all causes in ch fines have been imposed and the same has not been collected, and what aro the prospects for the collection of the same, and that suoh report be made in writing duly verified wnder oath to the cftect that the same is full, true and com- plete as to the matters and things re- quired to bo reported upon by 1he resolu tion, and that said clerk make sach report to this board on the 17th day of Novem- ber, 1884 While Mr. Ware, who has examined the books, says: I have just completed my examination of Mr. Street's books and accounts but have not prepared any report yet. |1 find by a caretul examination of the accounts on the book of the county clerk that there is & discrepancy between the amount of his recoipts and his expendi- tures,” ? iThe amount 1 am not yet prepared to give, a8 | have not compared his books with the treasure’s necounts, The amount is small, 8o far as I have been able t cortain, and the rumored shortage of §¢ 000 is a gross exageration,” The ehortage consists principslly in unclaimed wituess fees and unpaid fines. The facts of the case are these is no evi denco of dishonesty in the accounts, Mr. Street has allowed himself to be bull- dozed by certain attorneys into letting these discrepancles creep into his ace counts. The matter has “baon misrepro- sented and, | thiok, Me. Bireet's state- ment of accounts, whee finished, will place them all right.” Mr. Street, under such showing of facts, should not be condewned until he has had time to present his side of the matter, Then, if not satisfactory, 1t will be time enouzh to make charges. o — Telephone to No, 113 for dry hard stove wood and kindling, Big supply.

Littler, of Davenport, while read- ing election bulleting in Chicago, was relieved of his gold watch and chain. He bought a $12 nickle watch to supply the emergency, and three days later that was picked. Among the amusing bets on the result of the campaign was one between Keith, of the Denizon Bulletin, and Mr. Kreid- ler, cashier of the Crawford County bank. The bot was on the success of Mr. Pusey, and the loser was to sit on the town pump while he masticated a yard of bologna snusage.
