The attention of citizens is called to
the manner in which the records or min

kept. Now none, or only slight min
ute of such doings upon slip of paper
stuck on pin is the only evidence and
this is placed in locker in the vault ana
the key carried off by one of the select
men. 1t should be borne in mind that
most, if not all matters acted upon ofhc-
tally, are such as should be of public rec
ord and should be kept where and in
such form that the public can inspect
them, if necessary. The town provides,
or it should, book in which all minutes
of the doings of the board should be
anu LIldb pOOh htp1 "iiCiO opiCA
records are kept. The board should
have a secretary, whose duty should be
to record all action taken, together with
the yea and nay votes. This is an inn
portant matter, as sometimes it might be
necessary to determine whether certain
vote had been passed, which might in
volve the town to considerable extent,
of money and, as the conditions of things
now stands, there is no definite and accu-
rate way of determining. 1t would seem
that the members themselves would have
sufficient pride to have their votes re-
corded, because occasion might arise in
which they would wish to set themselves
right before the public. 1t would, at
least, be extremely convenient and graf
| flying to the public to find out what had
been done and how faithfully their SER
wants have conducted themselves in the
interest of the town. ~

Last September cattle dealer
named Mason G. BrOwnlee, had gold
watch valued at 1925 stolen from him.
He was riding into Mendoza on pass

the theft was committed. Engles-
kirchen was suspected, but when the
police went to arrest him they learned
to their sorrow that the bird had
smelled a rat and flown. At the Janu-

kirchen was indicted for larceny, but
the indictment was suppressed. Short

at Mendoza and was arrested. A few

Horse Matters.

There appears to be some little
timidity among horsemen who have
nominated colts for twO-year-Old
stakes, in the Illinois Valley circuit.
over the fact that some Of the great
two-year-olds have been nominated.
Secretary Hess has assured these
gentlemen that they need have no
fear, as it is probable that the big
ones will not start.
Following Is the program for the
four days racing in each city of the
circuit: First Day-2-year-Olds and
under, 2:35 pace, 2:26 trot, a-mile heats
running. Second Day-4-year-old and
under, 800 trot, 2:34 trot, mile dash
running. Third Day-3-year-olds and
under, free-for-all pace, 4-mile heats
running. Fourth Day-3:00 pace, free
fOr-all trot, 2:45 trot, lt-mile novelty
running. A splendid program.
In circular to horsemen, Secretary
Hess says: "Our management is
liberal, our tracks fast, our audiences
large, so if you want to show up good
colt come and see us. Many meetings
are previous to and following us. Pre-
ceeding us is the Illinois Central cir
