The board received unique COM
munication from Johnston Mealey, OF
Howard Lake, who appears to be pub
lic-spirited citizen for revenue only.
MI. Mealey's first suggestion to the
board is this: 81 have been down to the
city and out to the poor farm and find
that the county are still using my
eighty acres for pasture, and that it has
been of great value to them for the last
ten years. Now would like to ask
the commissioners to pay the taxes"
But he does not show his
really large. Bill-Kingesque heart
until later. Here is what he has to
offer: eff the county would want
county park that they could fix up to be
very attractive and beautiful, something
that would add greatly to Hennepin
county attractions, with a fine obServ-
atory and fountain flowing from the top
of that hill, all around terraces and cir
cling walks, there would be nothing
grander, more healthful or beautiful in
the Northwest. l will offer this now to
the county for sale, and they can buy it
better from one person than when it
falls into many hands. Please let me
hear what you think of this" But Mr..
Mealey's aesthetic soul warnings meet
no responsive chord in the hearts of the
cold county commissioners, so his COM
munication was referred to the COM
mittee on poor farm with the certainty
staring it in the face that it will event
ually find resting place in the waste
basket.
A petition was received and referred
to the committee on lake Improvements,
requesting the dredging out of Excel
siOr bay, Minnetonka, as its present
marshy condition is dangerous to pnblic
health.
Supt. Thompson, of the poor farm, re-
ported receipts and expenditures for
the month OF August as $403.16 and
S246.47 respectively. There are now
foItyfour inmates of the farm, de-
crease OF three.
The board appropriated several hun
dred dollars to aid various towns in road
improvements.
Out of thirty applications. for tax
attachments, twenty we're allowed.
Capt. Tirrell, clerk OF court, trans
mitted to the board the report of the
grand jury on the jail, previously pub
lished, and it was placed on file. The
board then adjourned until June %.

Judge Lochren yesterday had under
consideration the suit against the Mani
toba railroad company, now the Great
Northern, by q. w. Shepard, to recover
twice the value of car of wheat, which
the railroad company had stored in a
public elevator without the consent, it
was alleged, Of the owner of the wheat.
The wheat spoiled, and, under the state
law, Shepard sued to recover twice its
value. The action was dismissed on
the ground that Shepard had not de-
manded the return of the wheat.

THE BOARD OF TRADE.
That August Body Discusses Per
tinent Subjects.


Tue board OF trade held a rather un-
important meeting yesterday morning.
The report of the committee Oh legisla-
ton was read, which favored the postal
telegraph scheme in the following
words: "Resolved, That the board of
trade of the city of Minneapolis favors
the establishment of a limited postal
telegraph system substantially as out
lined in Senate File 1857, and respect
fully request our senators and repre-
sentatives in congress to give the same
their support The report was
adopted.
There was a considerable discussion
about the river improvement appropria-
ton, and Capt. Reno read d letter from
Congressman Snider, in which he stated
that he did not think there would be
any difficulty in getting the necessary
appropriation through the house. The
Window silver bill came in for share
of discussion, and the following resolu-
ton was fnally adopted: Resolved.
That in the Judgment of the board of
trade of this city, the financial and bus
mess condition Of the country makes it
desirable, if not imperative, that this
session OF congress should not adjourn
without passing some bill of the general
tenor and purport of what is known as
"Windom's Silver Bill" as originally
introduced; and, resolved further, that
a copy of the foregoing resolution be
transmitted to our senators and repre-
santativeSo

JUDGE REA's SUCCESSOR.
Col. r.. @. Benton Has Already
Been Decided Upon.

M. P. Bremen, A. j. Shores, Judge
Daniel Fish, w. E. Hall and all the
other members of the barwho have been
mentioned as possible or probable sue
cessors of Judge Rea on the district
court bench, some two score in all, may
as we'll continue right on attending to
their law business. Judge Rea's sue
cessor has been decided upon in the
mind of one Merriam, governor OF
Minnesota. The man who Will
wear the ermine which will
fall from Judge Rea's shoulders is Col.
r. G. Benton. at present local counsel
for the Great Northern Railroad COM
pany. Col. Benton has certainly been
decided upon. That the selection will
meet with general approval is a fore
gone conclusion. The only objection to
the appointment of Col. Benton so far
voiced is that he is too old. A district
judgeship is not by any means a sine
cure. A Judge must work hard and
many hours, and the judges on the
bench of the Fourth district probably
do as much real work as any lawyers in
the city of Minneapolis. But, although
an old man, Col. Benton is still as vigor-
Gus, mentally, as ever he was. His legal
ability is, moreover, unquestioned; and
that, as soon as he takes his seat IN the
court house, he will add honor to his
high position, is the unanimous opinion
of the HeDnepin county bar.

The Census EnumeratOr Is Abroad
in the Land.

The Census Enumeration Is Abroad
in the Land.
When the aggressively Independent
citizen of Minneapolis is approached by
mild-mannered person this week and
is asked several impertinent questions,
the aforesai dcitizen must not become
angry aud attempt to emulate Lord j.
L. Sullivan or Sir Pietro Jackson. The
mild-mannered person is census emu
merator, there are 156 of him loose in the
city, and he is only doing what he is
paid for doing, or is doing for future
payment. He asks these questions be-
cause he was sent out yesterday with
instructions to ask them. A man named
Porter who has an office in Washington
is responsible for the impertinence, and
one E. j. Davenport is carrying out the
scheme in Minneapolis. There are, as
before stated, 1876 census takers in Min
neapolis. and twenty more in the out
lying towns of the county. Each of
them is provided with blank on which
are printed about score OF questions,
and the answers are to be filled in
about 1900 times by each enumerator,
as there are supposed to be somewhere
near 1000 persons in each census tax
er's district. In addition to filling up
those blanks the official nose counter
must every day, as the sun nears the
Western horizon, write on one of Mr..
Wanamaker's new postal cards the re-
suit of his days work, and must also
make similar report to E. j. Daven-
port. Therefore treat the census taker
kindly ,sbecause his is hard task
and he isn't over well paid for it. He
receives cents per head for all heads
counted, cents for each surviving
person or widow OF person who served
|. in the late war, tor each person men
tally OF physically defective, and for
each prisoner, pauper or homeless child |;
2 cents for each death reported and 20
cents for each manufacturing estab-
lishment. He has two weeks in which
to do his work, hence he will not be
very wealthy when he gets through.

DID, oN was struck by by a falling piece Of
timber and sustained broken leg, and
that that leg will always be shorter than
the other. The defense is that the

gence.
