Those Special Election Bills,

1t is now more than year since the
LOTTERY Special Election" took place,
and Lyon is the only county in the State
that compelled the Board of Examiners
to allow its just claim against the State
by action in the District Court. Esmer-
aida county is now talking OF sueing the
State for its unpaid balance This, the
Enterprise thinks unnecessary. 1t says:
The counties should not institute suits
against the, State now, but should all pre-.
sent their unpaid balances for payment.
The question has already been decided
by the Supreme Court in the case of
Lyon county against the State that the
State was liable for all bills incurred at
the special election that are legitimate in
their nature and not exorbitant, and the
State will not now stand any more law.
SUITS. The several Boards Of County
Commissioners should therefore present
their bills against the State and have
them acted upon. If there are any items
of expense included in the bills that are
not authorized by law, or any over.
charges, the Board of Examiners will
promptly either reject or scale down
such bills. Ever since the horizontal re-
duction of the special election expenses
was made by the Board of Examiners,
the Enterprise pointed tout the way te
collect the bills, and if the road had beer
followed as it was clearly traced out tn {
matter would have been settled long ago

A DANGEROUS Trick. Some miscreant
last Saturday or Sunday morning stuffed
some cloth down the stove pipe that con-
meets with the heater in Jos. Phillips
barber shop. On building fire in the
heater Sunday morning Joe noticed that
it did not draw well but attributed the
lack of draught to sooty stovepipe and
thought he would wait until the next day
before cleaning the pipe. The heater
smoked too much during the day how.
ever, so he took the pipe down in the
afternoon to clean it and found lot of
cloth packed in the pipe tight and
charred from the heat. Had it taken
fire in the night it might have caused
much damage as the cloth was in the
pipe where it goes through the roof and
would undoubtedly have set the roof
afire. Whatever motive the party do.

New Fair Ground Building.

Plans for the main building to be
erected on our fair grounds, as drawn
by Architect Mayberry, of Winona,
were placed in the hands of Secretary
Dornberg the past week. The design
is for a building "a feet square, with
cupola and flag staff, and though sim
pie in arrangement, it is long step
in advance of the old building both in
appearance and adaptability to its
purpose. Elsewhere bids for erecting
the building are called for, the officers
of the fair having decided to build as
soon as the contract can be let to ad-
vantage. Architect Mayberry kindly
donated his services in drawing the
plans.
