surate with Mr. Baker's proposal, which

proper to say that no man can feel

pore to me a course so discreditable.

to respect this law. Mr. Baker, know
ing full well what tha law requires of
me, walU-uaUl-hais sure I have made
tha purchase of a new and expensive '
plant and am preparing to Install It;
then, finding ha has failed either to
bulldosa or 'deal' -with me, he seems
to repent him of his paat career and
offers to glva tha atata tha remains of
his plant as scant and tardy restitu

hos his " 'donation' has no string to
It. I trust the state will accept , tha
offer of his plant, sell It off for old
junk and put tha money In tha con
science fund where It properly belongs.
"Borne good will have coma from my

in breaking the strangle hold that Mr.

. The . world's leading authorities on

has been no more Important contribut

therefore that the Individual records
made by the leading manufacturers are
of mors than passing Importance to the
world of human events. For tha first
time Jn man's history a certain epoch
of productive value (as distinguished
from artistio results), haa been marked
by the world's acknowledged lead

a matter that must bo considered aa or

has been made that

While this. In Itself, Is a remarkable
record, how much more so Indeed does
It become' when ona takes Into consid

The . universal recognition ' .that has
been bestowed upon the Stelnwuy Piano,
further exemplified by trie aoove L
mentioned total value of pianos pro

Indeed closely alllea; that the leading
musical authorities, aa well as the gen

Whether nearly. all tha work none by

the court house' yesterday afternoon,
when a letter- was -'received" " trom
County" Judge Webster In which It was
asserted that only eight of Mm Fields
denutv assistants are deputies, while
the remaining is are employed as -"ad
ditional help, temporarily, to perform
special -work.
The letter was sent to the oounty
vlerk la refusing to grant ths petition
of a number of male employes for In
creases In salaries. After reviewing
the law which provides for the sppoint.

elerk'e of floe, tha -letter aaysi .-
"That Is the onlv provision made by

"The temporary anbtstsuits for special
work here provided for may properly
be paid such reasonable compensation
as this court may fix. but such em
ployes are not .'deputies.' The term

Question of Authority. ,JL
Under this leW of the statute taken
by the county court tt appears that tha
employee who ara deputies have author
ity -which those classed as "additional
help have not, and that there Is a
distinction as to tha character of tha
service to ba rendered. Every ona of
Mr. Field's force haa constantly exer
cised authority aa a deputy . county
clerk, such as administering oaths. Is
suing licenses and performing the same
duties that Mr. Flolda may perform.
The question was asked whether such
duties were not . Illegally performed
when done by those employes who are
merely "additional help." Mr. Fields
said he bad not made any distinctions,
but had sworn all his assistants as
deputies," and If he were forced to dla
tlngulsh who were deputies and who
were not .ha could not tell which fhey
were. , ' .
"Every person "I now have employed
Is absolutely necessary to transact the

Mr. Flelda yesterday,' "and I do not
