Major Camp", who lias made a tour to the logging regions, reports that very few if any of the logs cut last winter Will fail of coming into the boom this year. This will be good news to the prairie country especially, as all luive been anticipating high prices owing to short supply of lumber. Rev. J. Klepper, the pardon broker, of Stillwater, has been rebuked by the Presiding Elder and a committee of Methodist ministers, as having been guilty of conduct "highly imprudent and reprehensible in a Christiau minis ter." The new tax law provides that the tax levy in townships, for road and bridge purposes, shall not exceed five mills, and the amount for school dis trict purposes shall not exceed nine mills for the support of schools. As sessors are required to meet at the Au ditor's Office on the last Saturday in A pril instead of the first Tuesday in May as heretofore. The most cowardly and disgraceful admission which has been made by a newspaper in along while is that made by the local paper at St. Peter, in which It admits that it has refrained from publishing matters connected with the asylum in order that the feelings of friends might not be wounded. In deed! Smother all facts concerning in efficiency, brutality, and murder, be cause the feelings of some official or his friends may be wounded! THE SOUTHERN MINNESOTA. The Washington corresponde.it of the Pioneer-Press says: J. C. Eastonand wife, of Chatfield, •re visiting the capital on a tour of ob servation. I am told that Mr. Eastou lias been in Ne York and succeeded In raising money enougli to extend the Southern Minnesota railroad from Winnebago City to Fairmont and that the road to the latter place will be fin ished by July 1st. BEECHER SCANDAL REVIVED. Mrs. Tilton is out with another letter confessing adultery with Beecher. W thought when we heard that Tilton was hanging around seeking inter views with his wife, that some more devilment was in the wind. It was shown on the trial that she had no pow er to resist Tilton and he has forced her to another confession. Now if this blackmailing fellow, who lias spent so many months trying to prove himself a cuckold, can be kept away from Mrs. Tilton, she will take it all back agiin and re-assert her innocence. Poor, weak, loving, foolish wife, and most infamous wretch of a husband! It AILKO AD PROJECTS. The St. Paul & Sioux City Company have several new railroad projects on hand. The one to which immediate at tention is given is a road from Luverne down the ltock ltiver Valley to ltock Kapids. A meeting was held recently lit ltock Rapids at which both Gen. liishop and Gov. Miller was present. Another project we hear of is a branch load west from Sheldon to head off the Milwaukee and St. Paul. A branch from Worthiugton to Spirit Lake is al so talked of and the Deacon reports President Drake as saying that he is ''looking with a longing eye in tl a', di rection." This "Garden of the West" will soon be gridironed with railroad tracks. LAND SALES li TItK ST. I'. 1VL & SIO UX CITY COMPANY. A Pioneer-Press reporter recently ob tained some interesting figures from the land department of the St. Paul & Sioux City railroad. The sales of the com pany for the three months ending March tflst were 56,000 acres. Seventy per cent, of these were in March. These (inures include only actual sales in which the formal deeds or concracts have been completed. This does not include the Liishop Ireland colony, (35, "tHXJ acres more,) the Otld Fellows' Col ony of three townships, nor the lied Wing settlement in this and adjoining counties, embracing about 20,000 acres. Gen. Bishop reports that the earn ings of the road for the past three months have been 40 per cent, greater than for the corresponding months of 1877, and for March they were 79 per cent, more than for March of the pre vious year.

J. E Warren, a Chicago man, writes from Minnesota to the Chicago Trib une, some capital letters upon the ad vantages of Minnesota. In one of them he says: If the advantages of this region were only adequately made known, there would surely be a great How of labor from the cites and places where it is not wanted into a region like this, where every variety of labor is needed and where it is certain to meet a rich reward. Therefore, as we have insisted from the first, the State and the railroads should be liberal in making our advan tages known. We are caught just at the time when all the world is on the move without the documents and the facilities for giving the desired infor mation to immigrants. The niggardly appropriations of the Legislature and the indifference or penny wise and pound foolish policy of our railroad companies is in marked contrast to the 'liberal advertising measures of the States south of us. We are constantly receiving evidence Which shows that not one hundredth Iwirtr of the barbarities practiced at St. *ete Insane Asylum have been made public. It is time that davlight was allowed to dawn upon this wretchedly and wickedly managed concern.—St. Paul Griobe.

EDITO A A N E ..Your corre spondent^ over the R0m de plhme\ of "Worthington," makes, in last week's A A N E some very frank admis sions, and in connection, uses queer logic and makes erroneous quotations. from the laws in order to prove that our Cottnty Treasurer is holding his office legally. In the first place, he represents that the law gives him until the first of March to file his official oath and bond. It clearly does not do any such thing. It says he shall, before entering upon the duties of his office, file his official oath and bond with the Register of Deeds. In connection with this, in the same chapter, and in the sectionimme-. diately following, it says, "lie shall file his oath and official bond as required by the precceding section on or before the 15th day of January, and his refus al Or neglect to do so shall be deemed a refusal to serve." Now, surely this does not leave any thing to be done in the matter after the 15th of January, except the approval of his bond, which is clearly required be fore he enters upon the duties of his office. He admits, (and correctly too,) that a refusal or a neglect to qualify within the time prescribed by law creates a vacancy that the County Board had then the right to appoint. A they neglected to do so, he infers that the right to hold the office again reverts to the former claimant. By what course of reasoning, or by what authority he arrives at these conclusions he does not condescend to inform us. If the office was vacant on the 16th of January and he admits it, certainly it would remain vacant until it was propelly filled by legal appointment as the law directs. The matter is not left to the discre tion of the County Board, but the law itself declares the office to be vacant. We ask again, would any showing that the claimant could make at a fu ture time of a willingness to serve change the edicts of the law? He says an officer of this village went through his term of office without giv ing bond or taking the oath of office, and assumes that such action was val id an 1 proper but it was not a similar case. With regard to that office, there was no especial provision of the law making it vacant on account of such neglect. He cites dicisions of courts in cases similar to the one above mentioned that do not apply in this case, because the especial provision of law making the office vaca.it in case of failure or neglect is not so specific nor so posi tive in its application to any of them, as It is with that of County Treasurer. There is an especial provision of law applying to tl.c custodian of public funds in addition to the provisions of the geneial laws which apply to other cases. He says that Judge Dickinson held correctly in a case in this county "that the word "shall" as used in the stat utes, is simply "directory." That was in the case above mentioned where the law had not in specific terms declared the office vacant. In that cas the of ficial bo: 1 could have declare 1 the of fice vacant, hut had neglected to do so. In this case, they clearly had nothing to do, or to say about it, except to ap point to fill the vacancy, and the law clearly points out how that shall be done. He does not claim nor does any one else that its requirements have been complied with. He takes the ground that the bond must be approved at the January meet ing of the County Board. We find nothing to justify such a conclusion and as the Boaid was not in session, the bond could not have been presented nor approved prior to the 2'Jth of Feb ruary. We have not boen able to fn that fiere is any set time for the approval of the bond except that it must lw up proved before lie enters upon the duties of his office. But he is required to file his bond with the 1{ giatur of Deeds on or before a certain date as above men tioned, (and he could do that whether the board were in session or not.) sub ject of course to the action of the board at a future meeting. In reference to legal precedents he siys: "When the l.tw says an officer may do a certain thing, it means that he mvt do it, if the rights of th public or third party require it." In this case, the lights of the public require it. "When it says one shnH do a certain thing, it is merely directory and means that he may do it. unless the failure to do it would result in an injury to the public or some third party. In this case, it could result in an injury to the public. His bo idsmen are sureties for the faithful dischaige of his duties as a le gally qualified public officer. They have signed his mil under the repre sentation, and with tie belief, that he had a legal right to hold the office. They had a right to believe that he would not be allowed to hold it other wise. If in this they have been deceiv ed, if the party to whom the bond is payable has been a party to this decep tion, it would give it the coloring or' an intention to defraud, and would justify an application to the Courts by the en dorsers to have their names stricken off or the bond canceled, and if these were shown to be the facts, there is not a court of equity or of law that would re fuse it. The County Board were cognizant of the fact that his right to hold the office had been forfeited prior to the date of the bond, prior to the time when it was signed, *aled and acknowledged. The date shows it. They were aware of the fact that he had then by a neglect of official duty placed himself in a posi tion which would (if known to his sure ties) have been a sufficient cause for de clining to go on the bond. And the County Board ha no moral or legal right under the circumstances to accept it without first notifying the sureties that such was the fact. An official bond partakes in some re spects of the nature of an endorsed note. If any of the duties secured by the endorsers are neglected, they are entitled to notice as soon as the facts become known to the supervising board, otherwise they are exempt the same as endorsers on a note would be if it were not protested for non-payment. They are sureties for the faithful per formance of duty, and they are entitled to notice of a neglect so important in its nature as to vacate, according to plain provisions of the law, this right to hold the office. Such notice would give them a chance to withdraw and shield themselves from further respon sibility. In this case, the sureties would take the position of endorsers on a note whereon such endorsement had been made when the note was already past due, when the time had prised in which it should have been protested without the notice of protest attached or consent to wave protest theendoisenijiit would not be valid. There is not a banker or a business man in the State that would advance money on it in a busi ness transaction. If your correspond ent knows anything he knows as well as he knows that he has got a nose on his own face, that the bond is not worth so much as a five cent piece. A learned barrister, a profound ju Ige of tht law, has rece.itly given an opin ion in open Court in tins county, where in he showed clearly that ebster's Dictionary waj the legal standard by which to construe, determine, and de fine the me'-uiiug of words used in our Statutes. Had your correspondent con sulted Webster, he would have found that the words 'shall" and "may" can not be used interchangeably to express the same ideas that the two words are not "identical," that they have not in any respect the same meaning. Possi- bly he intended that they should only be so used when,the interest of clients demand it. It lists lieenv^mooted ques-~ tion as to whether the sun regulates time some people claiming that mod ern mechanism is the correct standard. If the latter, and there has been a ne glect to wind up the clock, then the sun must stand still, the earth cease to revolve on its uxis until the time piece is again started, then the two can work together in unison and in harmo ny witn each other. The question in this case is whether the law shall be twisted and bent in every conceivable way in order to make it conform to the crooked doings of of ficials. Or shall the officials them selves he required to regulate and straighten their own movements in ac cordance with plain strict and stern mandates of the law. A CLODHOPPER. A SEXSIRLE VIEW. The Sioux City Journal of the This is in the line of the plan we sug gested last week. Articles should be prepared showing the advantages and prospects of the State at large, and to this should be added an account of each county and vicinity in which the paper is published. A supply of tins si .Id be printed so that every resident of the State could have copies to send to friends in other States. TELEPHONE AND PHONOGRAPH. "Annus Mirabalis" everybody ex claims (in English, however.) This is the year or age of wonders. The tele-, graph and the telephone are establish-' ed facts and the phonograph fol lows close upon both. Clairvoyants are telling us all about the in habitants of the other planets and Spiritualists profess to be in daily com munication with the denizens of the Spirit-world, from whom tiny are le irn ing the most beautiful and wonderful things that have ever been revealed to mortals. The Sioux Falls Pantagraph, speak ing of the phonograph says: As has been pointed out by ano'her in describing this wonderful invention, we are now in presence of the startling possibility that the voices of the dead may be heard so that as we keep by us the likeness of a friend, and his writ ten words we may also preserve his tone and accent. Music is no longer evanescent, the voice of great singers will not die with them, but leniain as long as the metal in which they are em bodied lasts. The remark that "we are now in presence of the startling possibility that the voices of the dead may be heard'' has been realized in way which the Pantagraph did not probably suspect. A least so says the Ne York Tiibune in the following article copied from that paper of March S: Ghosts are playing away on one end of a telephone 11 San Francisco. A gentleman, who has a wire between his house and his office, was explaining the apparatus to some friends in his parlor one night when a response was sudden ly received from the other end. The signal caused great surprise, for he had locked his office door several hours be fore. "Who is at the other end?" he called through the speaking tube. "You would not know me if I told you," was the response. He seized his coat and hat, went to his office and found it just as he had left it. empty, with the gas barning and the dojr se curely locked. lie locked the door a gain, went home, tried the bi-U-sigual, and at once received theauswer: "You would not know if 1 told you who I am, but you will see and know hereaf ter." The company weie frightened and the telephone was shut up for the night. On the following day the wire was carefully inspected from end to end and there was no evidence that it had been tapped or cut at any point. Meanwhile a Spiritualist, who had heard of the mysterious messages, beg ged for an opportunity to test a theory which he had formed, and to prove that the telephone was destined to de velop a perfect and ready means of communication with the spirit world. The manifestations are said to have been startling. HARD OX THE MINISTERS. Moody says there is too much rotten ness in the church, and he wants the church to wake up and purge it out. He says that "men join the church for the purpose of obtaining position and tli3 confidence of society, and soon we hear of defaulters iu $200,000 or $300, 000. Some ministers are so anxious to have a long roll of names in their church that they hustle in anyone who comes i'long, without regard to fitness. We want down-right honestv iu the church. And then he adds "that he knows of ministers who are doing more harm than infidels.—New York Sun. Moody knows whereof he speaks. He is not himself a minister depending upon a particular church org-mizition for support. went forth without any "ho'y orders," with no "call" but the call of the Spirit within him and he has done and is doing a work simi lar in kind and extent to that of the Apostles. How, iu his honest, simple, John-the-liaptist soul, he must despise those soft-h.mded, dilletante, society seeking, worldly minded, compromis ing ministers who are the ride and not the exception iu the churches of to day. N wonder the people are sick and tired of the old churches, from which the Spirit has departed, nn no wonder they flock to hear the Moodys on the one hand, and the Swings, Che neys, Colliers and Frothinghamsou the other hand. "Mene, mene, tekel, up harseu," is written on the walls of the churches to-day, and out of the pjople, (not out of the preachers and theologi ans,) God will raise up anew church "wherein dwelleth righteousness." Bishop Iceland, of the Catholic Cuiirch, who resides at St. Paul, has a contract with" the Hjiilroad Company for Seventy Thousand acres of land. The colony limits extend nine miles north and nine south of Adrian, and six miles east and six west, making'a territory 18 miles north and south by 12 east and west. The railway lands within this limit which are not occupi ed by coloHsts within two years will revert to the company for sale. Most of the settlers are Germans from the East and will begin to arrive at their new homes by 5\pril 15th.—Adrian Cor respondent Sibley Gaz/'tte, CATHOLICISM AND SPIRITUALISM. W 7thscribe says: We ought to do more than we have been doing to attract the attention of immigrants. Our railroad land corpo rations, it would seem, might to good advantage unite to some extent in ad vertising the country in which their lands are located and in acquainting home-seekers with the general charac ter of our lands,soil, climate, etc. The local press in its own effective way however, is to be regarded as the most useful agency that can be employed in this immigration work. And it ought to be employed. The labor should not be expected of the local newspapers as an entire gratuity. Local societies should be formed for the purpose of en couraging immigration, and these soci eties should collect statistics and col late facts and see that they are pub lished in the local papers, the papers scattered and the publishers called up on to bear no more than their fair pro portion of the expense. a Ohio, contains the following: Mrs. Andrus the entranced and paint ing medium (of Cleveland) together with her husband have been guests for some days past in the families of J. it. Haines and C. C. ManfulL,©f our citv' Mrs. A while heavily, blindfolded and when entranced (or controlled as she claims by a spirit) will read-, any thing, answers readily any questions, discuss on any subject infinitely better than when not under control, and questions that, none of her listeners or questioners could possibly answer wete they put to them. When under, this spirit control she will describe the spir it frienls of the person jshe.is talking to," tell how^ong tTiey have been in the spirit life, when and where they died, what di ease they died with, and de their complexio.i, hair, eyes, etc., as perfectly as could their niost inti mate earthly friend. Very frequently some spirit friend as described by the controlling spirit, either wife, mother, husband, sister, brother,child, matters not who, if asked to do so will take control of the medium and the control ling spirit leave and in this event the inquirer and investigators can ask any private and secret question Known to no one but themselves and their de parted friend, and they will get more accurate and satisfactory answers than they themselves could give as well as recognizing the voice as they knew it on earth. A PECULIAR TEST. Last Thursday it was noised on our streets that a prominent member of the Catholic Church and a worthy citizen of our town, Mr. Thomas McKeniry, had said he knew that this medium could not read one of the saint books after the priest had blessed it, and pass ed his hands over it. The report prov ing to bo true, and Mr. McKeniry be ing anxious to put the medium to test, was invited by Mr. Muiifull to his house in company with a large number of gentlemen where he was assured the test would at least be attempted. Noae of the company so far as we know that gathered to witness the test, were Spir itualists. The medium was undTbad conditions having been thrown from a sleigh and cousiderablv injured. But hearing that a crowd had gathered to witness her read a certain book, and satisfactorily answer questions, after being blindfolded by a committee of their own selection, she expressed her self not only wi ling but anxious to be put to the test, stating that it matter ed not to the spirits what kind of a book they wanted read or questions icy wanted answered, and that of her self she could do nothing. She wasby blindfolded by a committee selected bv the Catholic gentlemen and approved by the crowd. A pad of linen twehe thicknesses together with two pieces of harness leather were placed over each eye, and reaching from above the eye brows down to the opening of the nose, then a heavy linen bandage covering the pads bound them tight to the flesh. In a few minutes she was entranced and a str nge voice speaking thrc-igh the medium called for any one to ask questions and to produce anything they wanted read. Letter after letter, pa per after paper, was produced and ev erything accurately read to the wonder and satisfaction of everybody. Mr. McKeniry then came forward with his book—and all breathlessly awaited the struggle between supposed infallibility on the one hand, and Spiritualism on the other. A quick as Hash the spirit voice read aloud from each page of the open b.iok and pointed to the latin sen t-nces. Mr. McKeniry expressed him self as perfectly satisfied that she could -ad his book as good as he could. Tlt^ nee then asked if any one was di.-sat- Tied to blindfold her, the medium, anv way they liked. They all answered ley were tlwirono-Mv satisfied. She icn invited Mr. McKeniry to bring his p. icsts up ami all of the priests that in Wanted that they might move tin inds er hei and do as they pl ased but that she would read their books just the same. Watches were then produced she would then instantly de scribed tie watch and tell the time. Old photagrai lis were procured, pic tures of individual.-) present but taken in their youth, many years ago in stantly she would say whose they were and when they weie taken. All ex pressing themselves satisfied, and all questions answered, till no one would ask any more, the seance closed. Mrs. Andrus is an elegant lady, and has made many friends among many of the more ortludox chinch niembeis who once thought that Sphitualisls were different from other people. The sub ject of Spiritualism is interesting hun dreds in our community, and why should it not be discussed'and investi gated as well as any other s.ibject: if false, let us expose it and put it down if true, let all enjoy the secrets of the undoubted immortality. Tlu Washington correspondent of the Pioneer-Press gives a list of the ap propriations for the improvement of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ued Riv ers, and says: These are all the items which I be lieve are of immediate interest to the Northwest. Credit is no doubt due Mr. Dunnell, as a member of the com mittee on commerce in the house, for the first two items I have quoted which give $350,000 for opening and idening the channel of the rivet from St. Paul to the mouth of the Ohio. This is the first time, it must be recollected, that any specific appiopriation has ever been made for this purpose. It happens that Dunnell is about the only member of the committee on com merce, which reported this bill, whose constituents are immediately and vi tally interested iu the improvement of the upper Mississippi. The other mem bers are mostly from the southern and middle Slates, and therefoie the more credit is due Mr. Dunnell for Ids efforts in obtaining so large a sum for this purpose as $350,000. NOTICE.
