The County Commissioners met Tuesday and are finishing the annual statement business. FOR SALE.—Second hand bedstead, chairs, table and dining room carpet. Cheap for cash, at this office. Boys and girls will find something of interest by reading the article at the bottom of this column. We hear that O. Bigelow & Co., are about to open a grocery store in connection with their meat store. The County advertises elsewhere for bids to take the county funds on de posit. The returns are finally all in from Westside and the result is 26 majority for Miller and 38 for Mills. Sabbath School at the Congrega tional church next Sabbath at 12 o'clock. There will be no other ser vice. J. Limbert, who is going into the stock business, purchased 10 year lings the other day of the Coveys in Elk. Mr. L. wishes to purchase more. We have had a number of applica tions for that "cow" as the farmers wish to introduce the stock in this county. We introduced that cow into nearly every family hist week If it is all the sime to Dannell we would like to hear "them" 100 gnus which he promised us when the contest was decided. The attention of Dannell is called to a little quotation which he has made several times since election thus: They laugh best who laugh last. W. A. Peterson has the sole agency for the sale of Mark Twain's Tramp A broad in Worthington. No one else can get the book to deliver. He will call on our business men in a few days. A good joke is told on the county and our shouting Methodist friends. The Court Rcotn was let to the M. E. church and of course they had a rous ing good time right over the county of fices. Result, 60 odd dollars rent and about $100 repairs. SWEARING.—Dan Rohrer is the Dan dest fellow to swear to things. The other day he had an affidavit all sworn to on Friday night and the events sworn to did not occur till the next day at 10 o'clock. This was in the mat ter of taxing the costs in the Sheriff contest case. B. W. Lyon is out with a new Puz z:e which will be found in our adver tising columns. The problem we sup pose is to sell goods below cost and still get rich at it. At least it will pay to call on him and see how he does it. This cigar which we are now smok ing, you will observe by its fine flavor. is one obtaii.ed from that special brand recently received by our friend Mc at he McManus Bouse, and it sells for a nickle. ROOSTERS WANTED.—At this office. None need apply unless they are of the breed which can be printed in a news paper. There are so many triumphs in the election contest following one an other that we need afresh rooster every ew weeks. Scribner's for April has several arti cles on w-od engraving as anew art in dustry. We have been working that vein for sometime, experimenting on ronsteis. trains, cows, etc. It adds much to the interest of a newspaper, See advertisement for bids to make some changes and repairs in the Coun ty offices. The partition between the Treasurer's office and the brick vault is to be taken out, thus enlarging the room and the Register of Deeds is to change offices with ths Treasurer. A door to be put into the Sheriff's office, making an entrance from the outside and the east side. THAT THROUGH TRAIN.—We heat frequent inquiry now about the through tram from St. Paul to Sioux Falls. We learn that the rolling stock has been or dered and that the train will be put on early in April and will leave St. Paul at 7 a. m. and reach Sioux Falls at 7 p. m. The Sioux City Journal thinks that morally things are carried to Fa fine point in Worthington when a vote is taken on billiards and croquet. Next year we expect to have the question of "dance or no dance" decided by a vote. Some of the clergy are* wrastling" with this seductive and destructive evil, and the people will be called on to put it down with a high hand and outstretch ed ballot. Another wedding at the McManus House. Mc, has fitted up a bridal cham ber and if the thing continues he will have to "take orders,, and be prepared to tie the gnrdian knot himself, or else keep a clergyman on a salary for that special purpose. N.B. To the girls. We are board ing at the McManus now. April Foo— The decision of Judge Cox in the Auditor contest case arrived on Satur day night last. The majority for Mills is 38. If we could have another contest or two Miller and Mills would come out with a "unanimous majority.'* We have a notion to put Turner and Carrier in a bag and beat them with a bologna sausage for not contesting also. If Turner had stood and Carrier had contested the election of the little pill ist, they would both have been elec ted. However glory enough. THE CHA TTEL MOR TVA GE LAW. The Journal of last week contained a communication giving an account of the taking of a quantity of property from M. A. Doane, of Elk, by E. Cooper, of Adrian, under a chattel mortgage-. We interviewed Mr. Doane on the subject, who informs us that Mr. Cooper came with Mr. Nelson and one of his employees from Adrian and took the property by force, overpower ing Mr. Doane, who warned them off and resisted the taking of the property. The property taken consisted of a team, cow, wagon, harvester and some other property. Mr. Doane informs us that he had a written con*ract to pay for the team in breaking but the breaking was not furnished. His brother, Mil an Doane, had also purchased a team of Mr. Cooper, giving chattel mortgage on the same property, and he had mere ly a verbal contract to pay in breaking. It was under this second mortgage that Mr. Cooper claimed to take the prop erty. Mr. Doane brought an action against Mr. Cooper for tresspass and damages and also began an action in replevin with H. J. Ludlow as bondsman. So much has been said about this case, that some remarks upon the chattel mortgage law are demanded. We un derstand that no one holding a chattel mortgage has the legal right to take the property without the consent of the mortgagor. In most chattel mortga ges there is a stipulation that the par ty holding tie mortgage may proceed to take the property when he deems himself insecure, but he has no right to do so unless the party consents to surrender the property. He must, if tlip party refuses to give up the prop erty, proceed to take it by legal pro cess. TOWN OFFICERS. RANSOM. Supervisors—R. H. Belknap, Chair man, F. F. Burdett, Wm. W. Herdic. Clerk—C. W.

Ewing, sends us a pamphlet, contain ing maps and descriptions of the Lead ville mining district, in which he is largely interested. He is President of one of the mining companies, with head quarters in New York, and has "struck it rich" as the miners say. We hear from another source that his broth er Tom, who was up for Governor of Ohio last fall, has recently made $200, 000 out of a Leadville mine, which will more than cover his campaign expenses. If the General is forming any new combinations and wants to let "an old friend of his youth" in on the ground floor, here we are. We have a few No bles county orders we can turn in, and besides we're "chock full of days work." PERSONALS. A letter received trom attorney Wilson, of Olathe, Kansas, says he will be here the last of this weeek with his family to locate. Clerk of Court Carrier has appoint ed I. P. Durfee deputy. Ed. Buchan has returned from St. Paul and is fitting up rooms on 3d Avenue for a photograph gallery. Revival meetings are being held by Rev. Peterson, of Worthington, in the Swede district east of here.—Madelia Times. Worthington Advance: Rev. J. W. Lewis was in town yesterday. We hear the Elder is talking of go ing to Worthington to live.-Pipestone Star. WOLF BOUNTY.—A friend up in Willmont recently killed a wolf and came to town to get the bounty. He was not on hand within the 20 days re quired by law and failed to get the bounty. The other day he found a dead wolf which had probably been poisoned, and came to town with the scalp. He was too conscientious to swear that he killed the wolf and failed again to re ceive the bounty. It is very much to be regretted that Turner did not "stick" in the contest as Commissioner, and that Carrier did not contest the election of the Lillipu tian Barber. Both would have won by the throwinjr out of Westside. Since tue Rohrer-Town gangbegun the con test, they should have had their plates full of it. We should have "fought th* devil with fire" and mads a clean sweep. What is home without a baby? Many children have coughs and colds just now, and should have the greatest care, and a bottle of Dr. Marshal's Lung Syrup. Price 25 cents, 50 cents and SI a bottle. Sold by Miller & Smith.

Enlarged and Jmp^ved—List of tlie Additions—Seven Run of Stone and 100 Barrels a day. The enlargement and improvement of the Okabena Mill having been com pleted and the mill fairly started up, on Monday last we were shown through the establishment by Mr. Lowe. Some account of the mill as improved will therefore be of interest to our readers. The cost of the improvement is lrora $12,000 to $15,000.* The enlargement of the building consists of an addition on the northwest side in which there is a feed mill complete, with one run of four and a half stone and all the appli ances for grinding feed, making corn meal, rye flour, etc. This we shall name the "Rye and Indian" department, by consent of Mr. Lowe, with a view to se curing the attention of our Boston friends. A brick addition has been built on the south side comprising new boiler, engine and wheel rooms. South of these is the hay shed, separated from the boil er and engine rooms by massive iron dcors. In the way of machinery, the addi tions are: 1. One new run of stone fitted up from the rough. 2. A set of rollers for crushing grain. These are made of chilled iron, twelve inches in diameter by 30 inches in length, and small as they are in size, their weight is 2,300 pounds. They are equal in capacity to one run of stone, and have also the cloth for making meal. 3. New bolting cloths throughout. These cloths are made in France of the best quality of silk, twisted and sp.in, and woven into cloth, the finest of which contains 650 squares or openings to the square inch. These little open ings are exact squares, all of the same size, and bound at the corners so that each little square maintains its sizsaud place with as much certainty as the squares in window sash. 4. A new steel boiler, 60 inches by 16 feet, with 60 three-Inch flues. 5. A quantity of new gearing, so that now the mill is run altogether with bilts and beveled gearing.* There are two of the famous mid dlings separators, two smut machines and one cockle separator, in the mill. The full capacity of the mill is six run of stone, besides the feed run, capa ble of turning out easily and regularly 100 barrels of flour a day, or 600 a week. If run at the very fullest speed, under home-stretch pressure, the mill is capa ble of producing 150 barrels of flour a dav. The feature of greatest interest to all visitors from abroad is the fact that the fuel used to generate stean is our own prairie hay. These weir, we believe, the first mills in the state to use hay for fuel, and after several years of ex periment, it is found to be a decided success, greatly decreasing the cost of fuel and making a market for a vast quantity of hay which otherwise would be useless. The mill is now owned by the Oka bena Mill Company, the chief stock holder being E. F. Drake, of St. Paul. The Superintendent and chief miller in charge is Joseph Lowe, one of the best millers in the west, while E. Y. Reid, of st. Paul, represents Mr. Drake's inter est and is on duty at the mill. The book-keeper is the popular Frank Lew is and the two assistant milleru sire Marcellus Webb and Chas. Rogers. Geo. Rose, one of the well-known stand bys of the mill, is in charge of the feed mill department. Wm. lloiiciiaii has charge of the packing department and A. S. Husselton, the long-tried reliable, is the engineer, and holds the lives of the "passengers" subjpet to the throttle-valve under his baud. These, with one or two assistants for general work, complete the force of the mill. LETTER FltOM A CLERGYMAN. A clergyman from an adjoining coun ty writes and says: "I preached in this town yesterday and saw here for the first time acopy of vour paner. I like its motto very much indeed, and I particularly like the prac tical application of th? motto which is made in the "Free Opinion" column. I think you are in error in your opin ion about nnett and I feel sure you are about Coinstock. Here is a minister very much after our own leart, a man who believes in "free thought, free speech and a free press." But we are very sure we are not in error about Bennett and Corn stock. Weare just as surj) that Ben nett is a martyr for free thought and free speech as ever any man was iu the darkest ages of Europe. And we are just as sure that Comstock is as infa mous a persecutor of men and as much an enemy to human freedom, as the worst devotee of priestcraft and king craft ever was. A man whose con science is so wavped that he can think he is doing right when he hires men and women to commit crime and then has them arrested and punished for it is either a|poor monomaniac or a tricky villian. A man who can boast that he has driven fifteen fellow mortals to su icide, isfitonly to be spit upon by Chris tian people. Longfellow has declined three times foreign missions offereu him by the gov ernment.—Exchange. He declined to serve the government in a small office that he might better serve the race in higher work. "Be thou a poet rather than a king." THE ROBBED MAN. The individual named Turner who has been running the store west of Nachtwey's for sometime, turned up missing the latter part of this week. He went south on the train, "giving it out" that he was going after goods. But when it was discovered that he had been running his business on tick, and that he was in debt for rent, board and stock, his creditors began to smell a rat, and seized MI what goods he hadn't car ried off in his pockets.—Lansing Jour nal. The same chap! He was headed off at Worthington, one dark night, when the moon was bright, and reliev ed of fifteen thousand.—Sioux Falls Times. Oppression after eating. Many per sons, after an ordinary meal, feel a sense of weight and discomfort in the region of the stomach, the sure sign of an imperfect digestion, and probably the forerunner «of settled dyspepsia. Nothing will relieve this oppression like the Peruvian Syrup, by the stimu lus it gives to the digestive powers. Fishing tackle of all kinds for sala ty' S. A. DAVIS. MARRIED.

The Worthington ADVANCE is mis taken about tlie location of the Metho dist minister wljose liberal discourse was favorably commented upon by the Press. But its point is well taken that the doctrine that "heaven and hell are iu the breast" of every man, instead of being located afar off and in a tutiire world, is not a new idea.—The Glencoe man of course had imbibed a very old idea—common to all broad-niii ded men since the earliest dews of time. Editor Miller recalls a poem which he wrote long ago and had published in a Virgin ia paper, fairly embodying the same idea, and which concludes thus: «i,We: bear within us that which makes us blest. •rAnd Heaven and Hellare carried in the breast. It is when we see that this sentiment has taken root where only harsh and crude dogmas have hitherto appeared, that we feel that an elevating wave has rolled over dry deserts, and so claim a progress. Of course the true poet and seer are always right and always ahead in the grand march of mind.—Farm ington Press. A CHICAGO PAPER FOR NOTH ING. SPECIA A NNO UNCEMENT. We take pleasure in announcing that we have made arrangements with the publisher of the Chicago Weekly News which enable us to club that paper with the ADVANCE at the very low price of $i.00 per year in advance, thus making the Chicago News free. This is beyond question the first time that a metropol itan weekly has been brought within the reach of subscribers for nothing. For the small amount of $2.00 a year our readers can place themselves in command of the whole situation. All events of interest, local, national and foreign, will be presented completely and promptly by one or the other of these publications. The single feature of full and trustworthy Chicago market quotations will ffe worth, to many of our readers, more than the additional amount involved in the clubbing ar rangement. To those who are notft« miliar with the character of the Chics go News, we would say it is the best representative of independent journal ism in the West. The Weekly News is a large eight column folio, "cram full" of telegraph and general news, short and pithy edi torials on the topics of the day, written in a familiar yet incisive style, and in all its departments evidently aims to give facts in few words, without the verbiage and fine writing which render so many of the large metropolitan jour nals "a weariness to the flesh." Facts, not words, appear to be its motto. We trust that all our readers will a vail themselves of this unusual oppor tunity of securing a Chicago weekly pa per for nothing. Specimen copies of the Chicago Weekly News may he^een at this office. PRESEli VA 27 VE COMPO UND.
