ENGLISH ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE.
The January number of the Eng
lish Illustrated Magazine is more
than usually attractive one. Besides

thew Arnold, Mr.. Archibald Forbes
contributes "reminiscences OF the
Franco russian war, entitled, The
En- peror and His Marshal. This
paper is brilliantly illustrated. An
article on the Piano has illustra>
lions showing the various stages of
its development. Professor Geikie
has a paper on Rivers and River
Gorges, and the inimitable Calde-
colt has illustrated for its pages the
fable of the Hares and the Frogs
not forgetting a modern application
thereof The first four numbers of
this magazine contain 272 pages of
closely printed type, illustrated by
1872 wood engravings, and its pr0jecs
tors are justly proud of the fact that
all this art and literature has cost
the reader only the moderate sum of
soc. 1t must be said of the text and
illustrations that they are of SUBJ

TO MULTIPLY
Candidates Getting to be as MI
merOus as Blackberries
in June.

The political pot is beginning to boil briskly,
and candidates are getting to be as plentiful as
blackberries in June. Among those whose
names are mentioned in connection with the
more prominent positions may be mentioned
that Of Fingal G. Enger as candidate for
commissioner from the third district. Mr..
Enger is a resident Of the upper portion Of the
county, few miles from Newburgh, and is
probably the Oldest settler in Steele county. A
Norwegian by birth, he has risen from posi-
ton Of comparative poverty to one Of wealth
and influence. He enjoys the confidence and
esteem of his neighbors and would make a
good commissioner: Though bitter opponent
of the formation of Steele county, having i'm
mediately after its formation instituted a suit
believe that time has convinced him Of the fu-
tlity Of further opposition, and his election
would be followed by the withdrawal of all
opposition and the unifcation of all the peo-
pie in working for the welfare of the county.
In the first district the names of L. G. Day,
J. X. Joslyn, Laor King, Major J. A. Grey. In
the second district, N. A. Carpenter, Il. w.
Wallace, and several dark horses In reserve.
For register of deeds, 4. J. McMahon, e. S.

w. P. Miller. For assessor, Ole J. Cultum, J.
w. Wheeler. For superintendent Of schools, R.
H. Simpson, G. A. Winchell. For probate
! Judge we have heard no names mentioned. In
addition to the above there will probably be
quite number of others whose names have
not yet been mentioned.

The Picnic.

The Sunday school picnic at Peddler's cross
ing, or pavidson's grove, yesterday, was very
pleasant affair, until the rain Interrupted it. A
large number Of the hest people in Hope were
i'll attendance, With tho Hope brass band, and
goodly number from Cooperstown. The
children dined royalty. and then their elders
proceeded to perform gastronomic feats only
heard Of IN this glorious climate; but the wind
came up, the lightning flashed, the heavens
rumbled, the rain fell and routed the picnic
ers, who fled to shelter. The enthusiasm was
somewhat dampened, until Mr.. w. R. Wild
den volunteered to entertain the party with an
exhibition Of his trained horses, Nevermove
and Standstill. They performed very nicely,
to the great delight of the children, who had
never seen anything like it. Tho exhibition
illustrated what kind words will accomplish,
with dumb ANIMAL before the rain set in
Messrs. Norris, Miller, and Wallace addressed
the party, and Miss Lee, Of Hope, recited q
very appropriate poem. 1t is TO be regretted
that greater attendance from Cooperstowp
was not d.-Co0perst0tcn Courier,

Tower City Storm.

From resident Of Tower City tho Fargo

the acreage Of wheat mentioned destroyed by

FINANCES
Extyavagant Stories Told for Po-
litical Effect Set at Rest
Figures Contrasted.

The financial statement made by the county
clerk should be carefully scanned by each in
dividual taxpayer, as it will furnish him with
the exact expenditures of the county for the
past year, and thus set at rest the extravagant
stories that certain individuals either through
Ignorance, or for their own political purposes,
have been scattering broadcast ovor the county,
to the injury Of both its credit and its fair
name. There is quite. difference between
$S,677.17, the actual expenditures, and tho
$4,000 OF SIS, 600 that these parties have been
alleging. When it is borne in mind that the
county was created in opposition to the wishes
of considerable portion of the people in
cluded within its boundaries, that legal pro-
ceedings We're instituted to test its legality,
that it was without credit, that the act creating
it provided that no taxes should be imposed
until the year following its organization, it
would rather seem to us that the commission
srs deserve the thanks of the people of the
county for tho limits within which its indebt-
edness has been kept. To Offset this indebted
ness the county has assets of permanent
character amounting to $4,000 in round num-
bers. Exception has been made by some par
ties to the amount allowed by the county CON-
lnissioners for transcribng the records from
Trail and Griggs, and one or two have gone
80 far as to declare that these records were not
essential. Have these gentlemen ever stopped
to consider that the autonomy of Steele county
would not to-day have been complete without
these records? How many of those who are
cavaling at the action Of tho commissioners are
aware OF or have taken the trouble to ascertain
the cash outlay that these records represent?
How many OF these gentlemen are aware that
nearly $1SOo Of the s., 600 was paid to officials
of Trail and Grlggs for comparing and csrti-
flying and to the parties who did the work Of
copying? How many of these gentlemen
who are finding fault would have advanced
the money necessary and taken the risk, small
though it might be, OF the validity of tile
county being established? Not one. Nay, to
| SO step further, did not some Of these gen
tlemen refuse even to accept the county's Or
ders for supplies that were n0eded2 But now
that the clouds Of doubt which have over
Swallowed the existence Of the county are about
passing away, and which they in measure,
whether knowingly or not helped to sustain,
they are ready to step to the front rs the cham
pions of economy. We venture to say that
there is not another new county in the Terri
tory that has encountered anything like the
difficulties which has surrounded Steele county
that can make as good showing.
