A Natural Sanitarinm.

The my riad-minded SHAKESPEARE says:
Throw physic to the dogs" A great
many people have an idea that Mother
Nature has provided remedies for all
the ills that flesh is heir TO. and that they
can be found without the Intervention of
medical colleges or drug compounders.
In support of this they point to thou
sands OF people who have regained
health at the various medicinal springs
that send forth their healing waters in
various parts of the United States. In
the West, the most celebrated of these
natural sanitariums is the Hot Springs
of Arkansas. In curative power it out
ranks all others in the world. The av-
erage number of visitors is over one
hundred thousand a year, coming not
only from all states in the Union, but
Europe and South America. The best
route to the Hot Springs from the North
west is THE Burlington" which has
its own track from st. Paul and Mime
apolis to st. Louis, making close con-
nections with trains for the Springs. 1t
also runs every Sunday evening
through sleeping car from the Twin cit.
les to Hot Springs without change.
ANY agent of "Tbe Burlington" or con-
Meeting lines can supply you with tick
cts, or you can write to w. J. G. Ken
Won. Gen. Pass. Agent, c. B. & N. r.
r., St. Paul, Mimi.

The Treasurers' Bond.

EDIToR HERALD-Dear sir: You
comments IN recent issue of the HER
AID. on the work of the Committee ap-
pointed to examine and pass upon the
bonds of incoming County Officers may
be misleading to some of your readers,
though doubtless unintentionaIly so.
While bond of $4,000 as you state.
might afford ample security for any
sum likely to remain in the Treasurers
hands. at any one time; the laws of the
State Chap. 81 Sec. 40 plainly require
of the Treasurer, bond in twice the
amount OF all taxes directed to be lev
led for the fiscal year. This sum was
$40, 9SS. OF being one half the amount
of bond given. In matter of so much
Importance, l cannot think that either
Treas. Neaville or the tax payers of the
County will censure the Committee Goa
their strict Compliance with the law in
this case. ID. f. Brown.
1t was not supposed the commit
tee had exceeded the letter of the law.
The amount of tax levied the past ten
years have varied very little. and it has
always been considered by the Board
that 100000 complied with the spirit of
the law. as the county school tax does
not appear in the Treasurers hands at
all. that being settled by exchange of
receipts with the town treasurers who
paw 1t directly to the school districts;
then there is from $1,000 to $4,000 of
tax paid in county orders where no mon
eY is handled leaving az the out side not
over $4,000 liable.to be paid to the Coun-
ty Treasurer and that is usually re-
duced by delinquents. Last year the
largest amount in Treasurer Neavilrs
hands was $4,000 in February, and
that did not remain over a day or two.
We still think a S145,000 bond where
only $4,000 is handled at one time is
too much.

II is freely admitted that those
sections of the state where the Farmers
