The County Seat
Question.

The latest news regarding the county
seat is that Parker has not a sure thing
of it, but that 1t may yet COME to the
proper place-Hurley. In the mean
time j. V. LAMsoN wishes to an
nounce to the people of Turner
county that he has again assumed full
CONTROL of the business Of Lamson &
Smullin, and that he intends to make
it an object to all close buyers Of
LUMBER, COAL and HARDWARE to
give him Il call. Special low prices
given on BARB WIRE and FENCE POSTS
for spring trade. Farmers you may
have to go to Parker for the present
to transact your county business, but
you must go to j. V. Lamsons, Hurley,
when you want to build ii you desire
to buy cheaper than at any other place
in Turner county. This is business
and don't fail to give it attention.

The New Era never entered combin.
alton with the Hurley Herald or Cen
treville Index, avowed enemies of Par
ker. o, No. That you tried to help
US we fail to see, and thanks to Mr..
Bertelsen for not taking your "wlll you
walk into my parlor talk. You know
that you lie when you say that we ever
made you Il promice that we did not
fulfill as well as it was possible for us
to do, and we thought we made it very
plain to you upon changing our tactics
to capture the county printing. We
did not promise men to support them
for office till the 11th hour and then go
back on them, as several have told us
you did, and then laugh at them besides
and we challenge you to bring man
who will say that we promised to sup
port him for office and did not do it.
We don't change over the writings of
our correspondents to strengthen our
case as you repeatedly do; we believe
in free, open expression of the people.
We did not swing that bogus bonus in
the faces Of the 1000 voters of the
county, as genuine when you knew it
was not, and then have the gall to
afterwards "leave the issue" of your
acts in the past with these same people
We have the word of the Messrs. Bert.
elsen and Kaufman, besides others we
might mention, that you tried to foil
us. You know that we showed our
hand very plainly all through the pro.
ceedings to get the printing, and when
you say anything to the contrary. its a
/ lie and you know it. Give us a little
i truth if you can, Charley. just for Il

Chief Justice Trip rendered de-
cision at Sioux Falls Tuesday, which
may, at no very distant day, cut con-
siderable figure in this county. The
cashier OF the First National bank of
that city had issued check on that in
stitution which set forth the fact that
there was $4,000 deposited therein,
subject to the call of the county treas
urer. knowing full well at the time
there was no such deposit there. The
county commissioners received this pa
per in their settlement with said treas.
urer and deposited in another bank, to
whom the First National refused to
pay the amount called fort saying that
no tunuS We're there for that purpose.
Judge Trip decides that the issuance
OF this paper for the purpose of deceiv-
ing the commissioners comes within
the statutes of fraud. The bank has
been closed. The question now comes
fairly before the voters and taxpayers
of Turner county as to whether or not
the isstauce by G. w. Stone & Co. and
the Citizens bank, OF Parker, of certifi-
Gates of deposit and delivering the
same to the county clerk, setting forth
that there %as in each of those banks
$1,000 in cash to be donated to Turner
county, was not also a fraud. There is
no doubt that Il great many voters
were deceived by these certificates into
casting their votes for Parker for the
county seat, and when the banks re-
fused to deliver the funds to the COM
missioners on said certificates, did they
not lay themselves liable under the
| statute of fraud.

Monumental Economy.
To De Editor Of the Press:

10 Ut EutJOF " Wt Ttoo.
The conservative and economical spirit
shown by the present city government in the
matter of donating the Market Square lot for
the monument site cannot be condemned.
With an annual tax rate of over Q per cent.
of all our taxable property, any action on
the part of our city fathers to reduce the city
income, or impose increased or new expenses
without corresponding saving in some
other direction, is suicidal Notwithstand-
ing the constant increase Of our taxable val
uation, chiefly in real estate, the expendi-
lures more than keep pace with it. We
cannot exterminate the Back Bay nuisance
root and branch because we cannot stand
the necessary taxation. We cannot have the
cellars of our schoolhouses cemented, nor
decent ventilation provided, because the out
lay of a few hundred dollars is more than
the taxpayers can stand Il. e., in the pro-
fessed opinion of our economical city govern
ment)
Nevertheless, this same conservative, fru-
gal city government has not hesitated to put
the city to an extra cost in two years, includ-
ing to next October, and thus adding to our
tax burden, not less than $4,000 for the
mere show produced by electric lighting!-a
boyish, unnecessary, foolish freak. Under
the present contract the city treasury is ex-
when we lighted by gas. More than this, the
reduction in price of gas, which has been
going on from year to year, is now neces-
sarily stopped, and thus every consumer
feels the effect. Is it an Improvement, or
such as necessity called for? Is the game
worth the candle? Is the beauty or safety
of the city enhanced by the unsightly and
dangerous poles in the streets and on the
buildings, with their top structures; by the
hideous contrivances stretched diagonally
across the avenue corners, and the crooked
wires everywhere? Yet for these, and in the
vain attempt to light with electricity, with
out going deeper for motive, there is de-
voted more than enough money to make up
the loss of rental on the old Market Square
building and pay interest on all debts and
expenditures necessarily incurred in its re-
moval and in furnishing ward room and
armory.
Now for plan to secure the site. Let
electric lighting prosper in its proper indi-
vidual channels, but the city should drop the
business as soon as possible, certainly by
October 1st, and return to the safe, satisfac-
tory and always reliable gas. With this
burden off we could well have our monument
where it ought to be. Let us, by all means,
express our sentiments by our votes, but fire
no blank cartridges. VETERAN.

The pay of PRAYER for Colleges.

Apropos of the day of prayer for colleges,
to be observed by union services tomorrow
at the Free street church, the following facts
may be of interest: There are now some
$4,000 young men and women in the 800 col
leges in our land. Slightly less than fifty
per cent of these young people are profess
ing young Christians. In every college in
the United States, with one or two excep-
tions, some religious services are held. In
157 of the 800 colleges, there are Y. NJ. c.
Associations. In the remainder the Chris
church under which the college was founded
or with some other church in the college
town. Over 100 students professed CONVEX
sion last year, and nearly 10000 students
have professed conversion at colleges during
the past eight years; $40 students are candi-
dates for the ministry, and 1877 have offered
themselves as foreign missionaries. There
are over eighty Young Women's Christian
Associations in colleges for women with
over 1000 members. There has recently been
great religious movement among the En-
glish and Scotch universities, and board of
the best men of Cambridge University, En-
gland, has recently started as missionaries to
China. At the meeting of the Free street
church tomorrow at 1880 a. NJ, representa-
tives from all the colleges and seminaries of
Maine will be present and report for their
institutions, and letters will be read from
the leading colleges of New England. The
services throughout the day and evening will
be unique and full of interest
