YE ard of County Commissioners Restored the Bounty r^f|h'en rio on Wolves Tuesday. re's a Tangle Over the Action of a 7, Former "Assistant" County Physician. *&- .T^he court house has been a busy pla^e this week, the old" and new boards of county commissioners being in session. Monday the old board met and cleaned up what claims had been hanging fire and then adjourned sine qie' J,he official tenure of Commission ers-, Cundy and Burnhelm expiring with the act. Both these officials have attended to the duties of the office in an admirable manner and retire with excellent records. ^The new board met Tuesday and the first.business to be transacted was the election of a chairman. L. S. Libby ^fe chosen to preside over the deliber- #!ions of the board during the coming y^ar. and, having once before accepta bly filled the position, there can be no ub't as to his qualifications. The mbers who succeed the retiring of Tials are T. F. Norton, of Cove, and M. Peterson, .of Borgholm. Both good business men and will doubt discharge their duties most ac TO,bly. he-of the first things that came up v?& a petition from the residents of Pagei praying that the bounty on wolves be restored. The petition re cited that the wolves had become both numerous and dangerous in that vicin ityland that the farmers had suffered several losses...of live stock in conse quence. After considering the matter theibbard decided that it would be well to-'jfe^tore the bounty and it was conse quently done. came what at first threatened be-a serious wrangle over the for- mation of anew school district at Bock. The town of Borgholm is at present onel" district supporting four schools, oneMn -the southeast portion of the bovtfgi, another in the southwest, anoth er fnthe northwest, and the fourth at Bbcli)'near the center 'Of the township. Thciirflitrietjfche eojBixii^j^.er^^w^re requested to set off was -that at Bock and the opposition came from the northeastearn part of the township, which at present has no schoolhouse, but has helped to build those of the other portions. The residents feared that if this district was set off they would not be able to secure a house for their scholars without building it unpaper, aided. Oil was finally poured on the troubled waters and the petition was allowed to go by default, with the un derstanding that when the northeast ern portion had been provided with a building there would be no objection. to.the separation. The road at the brickyards bobbed up again serenely and those interested in its establishment were out in force. The board finally laid the matter over for investigation and a committee will go over the ground to estimate the amount of damages and other items of cost. "When they report the road will be taken up again. Attorney Gorman, of St. Cloud, ap peared before the board with a claim for. 160 odd dollars due a hospital in that city for the board and treatment of Daniel Alguire, claimed to be a Mille Lacs county pauper. I twas shown the board that Mr. Algaire was taken to the hospital from Kanabec county and was accompanied on Jibe journey by a Kanabec county consta ble and Dr. Bacon, of Milaca. Alguire was formerly a resident of this county but two years ago next June sold all his property and removed to Kanabec. In the following September he was taken to the hospital.. \Later the hos pital authorities received a small sum of money and with this a letter -stating that this was the last of the patient's money and that when that was expend ed the hospital must look to Mille Lacs county for its pay. This letter was signed by Dr. Bacon as assistant" county physician and the hospital con tinued to treat Mr. Alguire on this au thority. The county commissioners were somewhat surprised when the let ter was given in evidence, as this was the first knowledge they had that there had ever been an "assistant" county physician, the authorized phy sician for that year being Dr. O. C. Tarbox, of this village. The bill was finally laid over for- investigation, The commissioners are not just isttre that the county-is liable for the amoitnt asked, for in the first,place:Algn.ire was a resident of Kanabec at the time he was taken to St.. Cloud an- i- th second place they feel that no such should have been in curred without tlieir knowledge. 1 I bill of expense foreh6bii T&e board was engaged in selecting the list of names from which* will be selected the juries for the April term and the poll lists of the different towns were thoroughly conned.' The board took up the matter of offi cial printing and thre being butane bid that business was reSdily disposed of, the UNION being designated as the official paper for the year. Several petitions for the formation of new school districts were presented, but being improperly drawn the board was forced to reject them without ac tion. The work of allowing a few bills fin ished the business of the meeting and the first meeting of the new county board was at an end. The board- starts out in a very busi nesslike manner and those who had business before it are satisfied that the interests.of Mille Lacs county are safe in its hands. HAS OTHER TROUBLES. Dr. Malloy, Quito Well Known Here, Was Arrestee! at St. Cloud. On complaint of Geo. Green, of Sauk Rapids, Dr. H. H. Malloy was arrested by Constable Klein at the Grand Cen tral Saturday on a warrant issued by Justice Brodhead, charged with ob taining money under false pretenses. Mr. Green alleged that he paid Malloy $15 for a truss represented to be good for certain purposes but which upon being worn was found to be worthless. The doctor was released upon a show ing that he had sold the trusses to others and they had proved satisfac tory. Mr. Green was in the city to day and says that Malloy has sold the same truss for $5, and he doesn't think he got a square deal by any means. St. Cloud Journal-Press. A Little Out of Season, Bat Good. A Bridgewater man, who shall be nameless here, like most of us, is ter ribly down on flies. He has been known to throw out a cup of coffee with three flies'floating in it, and when he finds flies in his syrup he begins to buck right then and there, and it takes four men to hold and make him spread it on his pancakes. He uses sticky fly paper to good effect^ and fairly gloats over the flies he catches. But it is getting dark and we must hasten on with our story. He placed twoflypa pers on two ^cgairsr^and placed them near the window. He came home, late the other evening and what did he. do but plump down in one of those chairs. He got up and pawed at theflypaper, but he could not get it off without tak ing off his pants. He took them off, aod while tearing frantically at the fly sat down in the other chair. Alexandria Herald. Tersely Put. There are fifty-one rural free deliv ery routes in Minnesota. There are sixty-three applications for routes on file at the postoffice department at Washington. Twenty-six routes have been established in the State during the year. Thirty-one postoffices have been discontinued by the establishing of this service. Several new routes will be established in Minnesota be fore the close of the year. Nearly two millions of dollars will be spent during 1901 in establishing this service throughout the country.Jordan Inde pendent. "An Advertising Talk. A New York dry goods merchant has related his experience as a newspaper advertiser and among the pieces of advice which he gives to others is this: "It is a mistake to only advertise at in tervals. The man who does this loses the cumulative benefit of publicity. His business name is not kept constant ly before the public. He is virtually a new advertiser every time. It is profitable to cultivate among the peo ple the habit of looking every sday for your announcement." There is a growing sentiment among the business men and heavy taxpayers that the electric light plant should be shut down at midnight.- After that hour there is practically no electricity used until 5:30 or 6 o'clock in the morn ing and the plant is run at a dead loss. It is estimated that the village ex pends $2,000 per year for the run dur ing these hours for-which it never re ceives a penny in return. The new council may take action on tha matter. A number of Knights^of Maccabees secured a liberal supply of refresh ments Monday evening and started out to interrupt the regular meeting of the Ladies of the Maccabees. The deed was successfully accomplished and and all present enjoyed a pleasant social time until the wee sma' hours of ther morning. ',,_,... The''financial' report of the village of Princeton shows that.our finances are in better condition at present than they were a year agomore than $2,000 to the good, YOLUMEXXY. NO FROM THE PHILIPPINES. *~T*fJ&r A Letterj.Rron* Former Member ofLCom-, _/T paoy M. **S-~ -^Lawrence Jasmine, who served in Company in Chattanooga and I now serving with the 46th in Luzon, writes the following letter to a friendT under date of'Nov. 23: "Company comprises many Min-*' nesota boys, among whom were First Sergt. Miller and Corp. Johnson, who were killed. Sergt. Miller had been first sergeant of the Winona guards for several years and was in the Twelfth Minnesota volunteer infantry/as was Corp. Johnson. They were both fine lads and are a great loss to the com pany. "Marriage here, although consid ered holy, is not looked upon as any thing serious. "One morning I strolled in the church in Daet, and upon entering was almost knocked down from the bad odor which came from two bodies in the corner of the church. Upon ask ing one of the-padre's servants why the bodies were kept in the church, he said the relatives were poor and were trying to borrow enough money to pay the padre for burying them. "There is considerable trouble in the towns over the return of the friars, who have been ordered to r.eturn by the bishop. A petition against them was gotten up by the people and pre sented to the military governor, but it had no weight. "Land is badly mixed up, and in many instances there are two or three claimants for each lot, owing to Span ish corruption, and one has about as good a title as the other. I think that if the Spaniards were expelled from the islands the natives would be more contented. "I think that if the officials would be very severe they would hold a stronger hand in handling the natives, as they impose on you every time you show them any leniency, and if you give them one yard they want ten. "There is skin disease here called the adobe itch, which prevails all over thg islands and I think it comes from germs in the water. It commences by little red pimples and gradually eats into the flesh, and I have seen natives with holes eaten by this itch big enough to put one's fist jo'^. All the boys have had it more'or less. ^ABother' detestable thieg here is a' tiny red ant. I is small, but does*big damage. No food stuffs can be kept^ anywhere five minutes that they do npt get on it by thousands, and many dayV we have drank our coffee without sugar\ on their account. All dining tables and cupboards have to be kept stand ing in plates filled with coal oil or water." Our Neighbors Quarrel. O. P. Trace, who has been school su perintendent of Benton county for sometime, was the minority candidate, but as his opponent is an alien he re fuses to surrender the office. Miss Mary Brett was the one receiving more votes than Trace, and it is claimed that census records show she has claimed to be a native of Ireland. Miss Brett now claims she was born in New York, and says she will have the_ office.Little Falls Transcript.

Prof. Li. W. Ballard is preparing to give a musical entertainment in.a short time. He has quite a large chorus in this village, besides numerous private pupils and the entertainment will doubtless be a very enjoyable affair.
