THE JOB They PUT UP

Didn't Pan Out and TeIegr aphic
Hearts Are to Be Made to
Ache.
The Press club have a matter on their
hands that is liable to cause some feel
ing, and perhaps some hearts to ache in
telegraphic circles. They contracted
with the Western Union Telegraph
company for the exclusive use of the
Western Union bulletins from the night
of the election until the contest should
be fully determined, let the time be one
day and night, OF six or more. The con-
tract was put in writing, $50 and the
price agreed upon paid to the operator
here. The Opera house was hired
and bulletin boards covering the entire
stage were put up at al expense of an
other $50. During the day preceding
the election some parties induced the
operator to solicit the club to allow
them the bulletins III private room,
but the club voted that as they had con-
tracted for the bulletins exclusively,
and had been too large expense to pre-
pare for giving them to the public, they
should not be given out at any other
place than the Opera house. This
somewhat enraged those few who did
not want 10 UllISlG Will

of being contaminated, and they found
person in the city who had private
wire to his house and induced him to
steal the kilograms for them. This was
in due time reported to the club, who
sent members to the operator, who ac-
cused him OF knowledge of the affair.
He professed innocence, but acknowl-
edged the individual referred to did
have private wire in his residence,
and said it tapped the Western Unions
lines in Aberdeen, but that he would
sever the connection and stand by his
written agreement. The club supposed
he had done so, until two days after
election, when they aScertained he
did not sever the wire, but that
dispatches, many more in number
than the club received at the opera
house, were received at that private
residence and was given out. During
Tuesday evening, however, it became
evident that dispatches were being
given out by some one, and parties were
put on the watch, and ascertained that
such was the fact beyond doubt, and
the club accused the operator of playing
dirt in the matter, but he stoutly de-
MED it. The opera house was crowded
full, but the audience was clamoruS to
have the giving out of bulletins at any
other place stopped, and the club de-
termined to refer the matter to the
superintendent at Minneapolis, and
wrote out the following telegram:

FARGO, Nov. 16.-The sheriff-elect of
Cass county, c. W. Smith. was born in

Further along in the report we find
the following interesting matter, all of
which speaks well for Cass county:
CASS HAD IN ITS TREASURY
Jan. /, 1887, balance of 1923, 1856, and
its receipts during the following year
increased this amount to S925,376.11,
much the larger portion of which was
derived from taxes. There were five
other cOunties-Grand Forks, Pembina,
Richland, Trail and Walsh-which had
considerably larger balances to begin
the year with, but their receipts fell far
short of those of CaSS-the only one APP
preaching them being Grand Forks,
which had $172, $3.50, as against Cass,
$3O2, O97.45. The total receipts for the
thirty-SiX counties amounted to $2,204,-
067.09
THE STATEMENT OF EXPENDITURES
shows that CaSS county paid into the
territorial treasury curing the year ST.
3SS,SS, while Grand Forks county, which
came next, paid S1l,24O.U1. For the
support of schools Cass paid, in special
taxes, S44, 1869, and by appOrtionment,
S21,937.39, making in all $66,093.9S.
Grand Forks county paid out for the
same purpose S50,2l3.94, and all the
others fell considerably below either of
these. The total amount paid by the
thirty-six counties for the support of
their schools, by special tax and appor-
tionment, was $500, 440.74.
This is a fine showing, and one of
which the citizens OF CasS may well be
proud. E. S. Tyler and his deputy. Mr..
Hayden, have worked hard in this new
office, created by the legislature of
1875, and have won the confidence and
esteem of all the officials with whom
they have come in contact. No better
territorial officer has ever been APP
pointed than Public Examiner Tyler.
