recently purchased vast tract of land of
over 100, 900 acres in extent in southwestern
Minnesota and have made their Office head
quarters at Pipestone City, in which county
(Pipestone) they have large amount
of land. These gentlemen have
not only done good deal

they have invested a large amount of money
in this state, and by their efforts are intro
ducing a thrifty population from England
and from the more easterly states They
have improved farms as well as wild prairie
land for sale, and give the most desirable
terms to purchasers.

life to his youthful bride. After the ceremony
the newly married twain repaired to the home

ssratuitOu~ Advice.

ton Burch is te endeavor TO contain himse
We believe he will find it prudent At this par
ticular time to restrain his virtuonS lniig
AS far as possible. The temper of the people
OF this county just cow is hardl, in the proper
state 10 relish any impertineut insolence from
Mr.. Burch 1t would lie far better for him
under all the circumstances, not 10 he too pr-
cipi,ate in vindicaiing himself from The "Sus-
picion against my conduct IS llor which h"
says was conve,.d in M article in the TINES
h.t 70 proceed with caution n | circumspec,iou
and endeavor 70 prove his innorrnce Of the vel
justified suspicious which have been directed
against him rs clearly, consistently and quietly
as he can. II is probable that lie vill have an
opportunity to do this in Court. and it may he
as well for him 10 postpone his vindicatiou
until that time.
The TINES did not charge Mr.. Burch with
completely in the escape of Brooks. Although
there has been and is strong and natural sns-
picion against Burch in This connection in the
community, The TINES did not voice III sus-
piciou. We merely stated facts Of which W.
had authentic Information. that the accused is
s7n in-law Of Washington Burch. the j,i'or
and that the iilor reported that he lost he
keys OF the shackles on the night ,f the escape"
Now while pretending to deny the latter part
of this statement, Mr.. Burch in the "card"
= hich h- has bad fxed up fully admits the
statement to be true While going into gre.,
circumlocution about the sheriff large pistol
and the "hole in his porket" and how he ''pur-
sued the fugitive and lost the sheriff KEYS
on the following day, he admits that h>
night cf'the esrape ''in The confusion etc, " the
keys Of the schdckIes which he carried were lefr

Now in point Of fact the keys Of tie ,'"ckies O.
Which there utre Tut one sat and they an the pos
session Of Burch, were found on the ground
outside of the j,il on The night Of the escape by
Mr. La Vega Burcb, who gave II EN- TO the
sheriff. So the proof is clear, as said, that
Mr.. Burrh the jaior, parted with the keys OF
The shackes on the night Of the escape. We
hope Mr. Burch will be able to establish the
fat that he lost them Sin the confusion and
ex itement at ending Brooks's escape" for we
have had no i'll feeling against Burch but the
disagreeahle fact remlins to be explained tha
these keys we're found in just about the situa-
| ton they might have been in if they had been
furnished to the prisoner for the purpose Of
making his escape.
So if Mr.. Burch is not guilty of the charge
of comp'icity of which he is susPcioned. but
which We have not charged and DO not now,
he has been particularly unfortunate in having
bee, made the sole custodian of his son-in law
who was imprisoned upon a charge which
might have carried him to The gallows; and
in having so m,ny awkward circumstances al
ten ling his escaIe. Uud.r all the circum-
stances we think it behooves Mr.. Burch to keep
cool.

Indignant Tax.Payers.

Since it was announced iE our last week 5
lature to make any change in our expensive
and badly conducted system of mending the
roads, some of our good, but slow citizens seem
to have suddenly walked up to a realization of
the fact that about $50 0Oo more of the taxes
wrung from their labor are TO be thrown away
upon the roads befol; any change can be ex-
pected. There were some active citizens in
town on Tuesday loudly agitating the matter.
These gentlemen were willing to 60 on to An
ma polls with petitions which they say every
taxpayer in the county would sign asking n
change of the system or to do almost anything
else to accomplish the end But they were in
formed that it was too late then, as the time
fol the introduction of bills into the Legisa-
ture had already expired There is no doubt
that if such action AS is now proposed had heen
taken earlier in the session. that the desired
change could have been effected, and we are
conscious of having fully discharged our duty
in repeatedly calling attention to the matter
and urging the importance of such action but
nothing was done and it is now of course too late
to accomplish anything in the Legislature.
These gentlemen say that they were lulled
into a state Of inactivity by the promises OF
Dr. Lancaster in this regard, and much indig-
nation and dissatisfaction at the failure OF that
gentleman to make any effort to redeem hi
promises were expressed. The dissatisfaction
with the present system is said TO be great and
universal among the taxpayers of the county,
and there is talk of calling meeting of tax
payers to protest against the manner in which
the peoples money is being squaudered upon
this service as now conducted, and to urge up
on the commissioners to exercise the discretion
some amendments to the system.
If such meeting could be had, even now,
some good might result from it. We believe
that, as the corps are now organized, it would
be true economy to appoint general suPerin-
tendent of skill and judgment and let all the
several corps operate under his orders and d.
rection. The So, 900 DOW expended is utterly
thrown away, and it would be true economy
10 spend an additional 81 900 for the purpose
of having the labor skillfully directed to the
making of permanent repairs. 1t is probable,
too, that if the work was under the superin
tendence Of competent and careful man, who
would require the laborers TO render full work
as other lahores in private employment, and
would keep proper account of the expendi-
lures of the service that he would very near'y,
if not quite save the amonnt of his salary.
as body before the commissioners with such
Il accommodation that Iie board would rot
feel AT liberty TO disregard their request II
such meeting should be called 1t ough, to he
fully and promptly responded 10.

Marriage Fee Bill
The bill reducing the m rriage license fee
fr m 81 so to so cen 9, which had pissed the
Senate some time since under a suspension OF
the rules passei the House last week, and now
only awaits the Governor signature to become
II law. There is variety of opinions as to
whether the Governor will sign the bill or not
but the prepo n lerance as far as we can judge,
ems to be in the affirmative. In long edi-
torial on this subject last week, the Calvert
Journal after speaking in the exemption from
taxation of rich corporations who own large
landed property in the State, concludes very
truthfully as follows: "Glndly would we say
do away with the marriage license tax, could
every dollar of the real and personal property
Of the State be made to pay Its just proportion
of the taxes but as it now stands, the 81 900
derived from this source, if taken from the
revenue of the State, must be made good from
The struggling farmer and other owners of real
property. Instead, therefore, of repeating this
tax, we would have these sources increased,
knowing that every dollar thus raised is a dol
lar taken off that " hich has to be supplied by
general taxation.
