THE r USgIA " S7'OTE.

A writer in the Window Reporter,
from Mountain Lake. rather takes
stock in the ''wa,,ton peryersion" no.
tion about using corn for fuel. lie
says:
Notwithstanding the common sense
and practical wisdom Of what you and
the Worthington ADVANCE say about
using corn for fuel. in your issue of
Dec. l2. I must confess Of good deal
of tie old fashioned New England hor-
ror of waste. especially the waste of
what God designed as IN article of
food.
lie then advocates the use OF the
Russian stove. as used by the Menon-
ties about Mountain Lake, and says:
In the Russian stove. or through
them, is the solution Of the fuel Qucs-
ton. The dead grass which every au-
tumn is burned to our loss and distress,
can keep us comfortable in the winter.
A few thorough brick layers and lit
tie ingenuity would give us furnace
in our homes which would be clean,
comfortable. and even beautiful. I
have one which is by no means what it
ought to be. but had acres Of wood

KEEPING COUNTY ACCOUNTS.

hkEklNG COONl1 ALCOUNIH.
Public Examiner Knox has made his
first report. in which he says that the
systems of county bookkeeping, espec-
tally by County Treasurers, are very
defective and that there is scarcely any
check on the mal-appropriation of pub,
lie money. The systems differ and but
few counties have a good system.
Mr.. Knox submits Il new plan for
receipting for tax collections which he
thinks will secure uniformity, act as a
check upon deputies and employees. and
control the taxes.
Tint u change is needed. we have
heretofore mad occasion to show in our
mention Of the proposed system Of Capt.
Mills, Of Bigelow, in this county. The
Captain has given much thought and
labor to perfecting hls proposed system,
which would apply to the keeping of
county accounts in every State, and We
hope that he will yet secure its intro
ductjon. The statements of Mr.. Knox
Rbundantly confirm those which Capt.
Mills has heretofore made as to the un-
reliability Of the present system and
the great need of change.
BY combining Mr.. Knox's plan Of re-
ceipting for taxes with Capt. Mills i'm.
proved and thorough method Of keep
Ing accounts, we have no doubt that
the system would be nearly perfect.

EDITORIAL CONVENTION.


We have received the clrcnlar an
nouncing the Twelfth Annual Editor
ial Convention Of the Minnesota Edi-
tors and Publishers Convention,
'whicl, is to be held at St. Paul, ON We'd
nesday, January Is, 1870.
The circular mentions as one Of the
topics likely to be considered, the fol-
lowing:
Should the Legislature again be re-
quested to repeal the law giving news
papers $4,000 exemption? A printer,
Ike other workman, ought to have his
tools exempt. that is, whatever is nec-
>essary to carry on his business. Pub
fishers in Minnesota have had their
newspapers suppressed and their busi-
ness ruined by trumped up executions
gotten up for the express purpose of
putting them out Of the way. We hope
II the convention takes any action upon
this matter, it will not recommend the
repeal Of the law. An amendment re-
'ducing the amount exempted might be
well enough. But it would he singu-
lar spectacle to see the editors Of Min
nesota assemble and recommend such
legislative action as would leave them
at the mercy of any political opponent
or tricky lawyer who might wish to put
them out of the way.

THE BRASS KETTLES.

II. Simmons, of Westside, in this
county, writes AS follows to the Jack
son Republic about the little testers:
The farmers are crying out hard
times, light crop of wheat, say from 10
to Is bushels to the acre, quality poor
and oor price, from 80 to 43 cents per
bushel. There is but little wheat that
graded higher than NO. 3, and to reject
the brass kettle is what beats the farm
er. This year it put his wheat one
grade too low every time. This is done
by filling the little tester very lightly.
have tried this 1T the village of Adri-
an to my satisfaction. have tested it
when full and it weighed Sc pounds,
and have filled it light and it weighed
d9. want to know which of the two
is right. That makes at least 10 cents
per bushel difference with the farmer
and a clean profit to the Minneapolis
mills, as they buy all the wheat. A
loud call should be made to the Legis-
lature ut this session to enact a law
prohibiting this mode of testing. II

merchant, his trade is light and the

APPLE BUTTERED HIN:

Rev. J. W. Lewis was advised, the
day following Christmas, Of an express
package awaiting him at the depot.
Arriving ut that place he found u keg
of about five gallons capacity whose
oaken slaves and strong iron hoops
were strongly suggestive Of beer. The
Elder at once resolved himself into an
investigating committee and drove in
the spigot, when a strong refreshing
odor of-apple butter assailed his nos
trils. Mr.. Lewis conveyed the prize to
his residence when the head was re-
moved and further investigation re-
vealed snndry jars of various size con-
tanning jelly. jam, and other delicacies.

CHICAGO, April "a scandal was oc,
casioned Gu the North Side some time
ago by the attention paid to Mrs.
Henry Gelderman by DR.. Henry Mey
rr. The improperly Of his addresses
arose from the fact that Mrs. Meyer
and.Mr. Grld-rman had shortly before
died under circumstances which taken
in connection with the subsequent con
duct of the surviving ones were deem
ed suspicious. The two bodies were
exhumed, and after careful analysis,
just completed, large quantities OF
strychniue were found in the system Of
AIR. Grlderman, and the stomach Of
Mrs. Meyers was found impregnated
with cAichine. The C0roner's jury to-
day, after hearing the testimony OF

mending that DR.. Meyer and Mrs. Gel :
