The large number of dwelling houses

The County Commissioners We're in scs-
sion the first of the week, and considerable
business was transacted. A statement of
the proceedings will appear in next issue.
STRANGE.-It is curious how many jur-
ors are sick and anxious to be excused,
but, it was ever thus, and probably will be
until the position is made an elective
office.
Our streets present an unusual busy and
bustling appearance, the large number of
strangers in attendance at court, contribute
largely towards swelling the ranks of the
crowds to be seen daily.
ANOTHER. Welcome of Donnel-
ly having purchased the building formerly
occupied by Jack Walker, has removed
his stock of liquors from Donnelly, and
now has his bar in full blast.
Parties who own grain fields in the vici
nifty of town, complain of damage by the
town herd. The herder had better look
after his cattle or they will be put in the
pound and he will have to pay for it.
The festival yesterday, given under the
auspices of the ladies of the Congregation,
al Society was one of the most successful
of the season and quite handsome sum
was realized, the receipts netting $75.
| Now TRoT.-A notice elsewhere, calls
the attention of holders of county orders,
to the fact that ali outstanding orders
which have been presented up to date, will
be paid on presentation at the Treasurer's
office.
FORCE OF HABIT.-Shcriff Landberg is a
very good officer, and has the name of at
tending strictly to his duties, but, lor'
bless you it is only force of habit, fol
when he sneezed audibly the other day, ht
jumped up and called for silence This il
the first case ON record of man Calling
himself to order
Coop ENoUGH-That Treasurer White
ley is good and efficient officer, is attesteC
by the fact that he has out of the eNtir,
population of village taxpayers, but fou
names delinquent on his books. Of thi
number, two are non-residents of the vii
lage, and not in range of the Treasurer
!; seductive Establishments.
LEGAL.-The following representative

in attendance at this term of court now il
session. c. J. Thompson, ST. Paul; F

WETNEss rain, rain, is the sun
total of the weather record for the past tw
weeks, and no little apprehension is felt TO
the growing crops, although, as yet, hu
little damage has been done except in yer
rust, yet this is quite often seen in wet sea
sons, and no injury will result until th
straw commences to joint.
DAMAGE.-One day last week hous
owned by Mr. Catlin of Big Stone Count
was completely wrecked by the wind
Mr.. Catlin lives near Moonshine Lake, O
the northwest corner of town 1913, rang
45 and parties who were passing at th
time, say the house was lifted about tie
feet from the ground and then suddenl
went to splinters as though an explosio
had taken place. The building is tot;
wreck, hardly vestige being left, fortt
no one was injured.
VIOLATION OF LAw.-We were show
an anonymous letter from citizen {
Donnelly recently received by commit
sioner Hall. in which the writer complain
that one of the saloons of that town is Ike,
/, open seven days in the week, and asks IL
authorities TO interfere Mr.. Hall reques
US to say that the commissioners can tai
no notice of anonymous communication
= but if the party who wrote the letter,
any other party, will make proper cor
plant, the authorities will take immedia
s steps to punish the offender.
PAR.-It is a source of great satisfactie
to have our county finances in such conc
;. ton, that the orders are worth their fa
value, and not only is it satisfactory, b
it also reflects great credit ON our coun
officials, the Commissioners especially,
= it is only two years since the orders we
not worth, for immediate use, over sevent
five per cent. Since that time, we hav
- although subjected to the heavy expense
usual in all new countries, gradually be,
paying up old debts until now we are e
abled to make prompt payments of eve
debt incurred This is business.
