lie came to reside with Mr.. Mackay in
this county, about six years ago.
At very age Mr. Boyes became a
member of the Presbyterian church in
Scotland, and when the disruption
took place which ended in forming the
United Presbyterian body, he became
a member of it, and continued in it's
fellowship until he came to the United
States. He was early identified with
the Sunday school cause in his native
land, and was very active in forming
and sustaining Bible schools as oppor-
tuaity afforded. He was very dill
gent student of the Bible, and very
able and intelligent in his exposition
Of its lessons.
About sixty years ago he and one
other citizen of the Lochmaben parish.
in his native land. signed the total abb
stinence pledge, and the Two for long
time were the only representatives of
that movement. 1t mattered nothing
TO him whether others agreed with him
or not, for he was willing to be alol e

prompted him to engage He was, un-
til enfeebled by old age, always efficient

CAPITALISTS WILL LEAVE
MINNESOTA.

S. F. No. 1, reducing the legal rate
of interest to 6 and s per cent, provides
that if the amount fixed by law is ex-
ceeded in any case the whole of the in-
terest and principal shall be forfeited :.
Now it is we'll known that nearly all of
the Eastern money loaned in Mime
sofa is loaned by agents and not by the
principals themselves. If any of these
agents should be unscrupulous enough
to charge somebody wanting money
real badly SIS extra for the accommoda.
ton, or should charge interest and
commission amounting to dollar or
two over the amount prescribed by law
the Eastern money loaner is the one
who is going to suffer to the extent of
the whole of the interest and principal.
Now there are hundreds of money
loaners III Minnesota doing business
for Eastern capitalists and many of
them are honest men who would not
practice usury to the extent af cent,
and again there are men who will take
SIS or $40 bill in return for an ''ac~
cOmmOdatiOn" whenever they can get
it. These same men may have been
doing the honest thing by the Eastern
money loaner for years, but the very
fact of there being a possibility OF the
principal and interest being forfeited
for some trivial overcharge on the part
of the agent is going to make capital-
lists look for some other place to invest
their surplus cash. Although they
may have the u Ost confidence in
their agents so far as they ara concer-
ned, they have no guarantee that they
will live up to the letter Of the law
with the mortgagor, and they are liza
bic at any moment to receive notice
that a mortgage of one, two or five
thousand dollars with accrued inter
est has been forfeited because the
agent has charged a bonas.-DelanU

The London Times speaks out boldly

we'll to reprobate resort to violence,
but in such circumstances as these,
what way is there for emancipating the
community from an intoierahle tyranny
excepting to resort to violence? The
law requires trial by jury, and trial by
jury has been reduced to farce by the
knowledge possessed by every juryman,
that if he cOnvicts a member of the

RECORDERS REPORT.
To the President and Trustees of vi
lage of WOrthingtOn:

To the President and Trustees of Vii
lage of Worthingt0n:
In accordance with a provision OF
our Charter, requiring the Recorder to
furnish an annual report of the years
business, have the honor to herewith
submit my report.
At the election Of 1890, there was a
majority for license, and as the ordi-
nance which had been in force in other
years, was not in perfect harmony
with the latest laws governing the sale
OF Intoxicating liquors, \ new ordi
nance was drafted by tie village attor.
ney to conform with the laws, and
unanimously adopted by the Council,
and the licenses were issued in con-
fOrmity Herewith.
Among the first meetings of the wear
plans for the work necessary to be done
on the streets were fully discussed, and
the work for the season laid ont. The
street commissioner was instructed
and from that time the work was done
Systematically. In fact. should say
it was a continuation of the plan Of
work of the year before. 1 am glad to
say that the new way of raising the
tax for street work through the regu-
lar tax levy, has been ve:y satisfactory
AMI the amount of work done has been
much in excess of former years for the
same outlay.
Early in the season, the street com>
missioner estimated the amount of
lumber needed for crossings and walks
which the city would be obliged to put
in and bids were submitted by our
lumbermen. whereby a saving of nearly
$40 was made.
The ordinance to regulate and IL
cense hawkers and peddlers was
amended by making the Incense So a
day.
The alleys between lots 4 and 5, and
8 and 8, block 26; and 17Tand 18, block
1S; were vacated according to law
The report Of the street commissions
er will show where the new side walks
have been put in, also the new cross
ings. His report will also show the
work done on the streets in accordance
with the plans decided on early in the
season.
Not knowing whether license money
would be available for the next year,
I made an estimate that we would
need 81, 900 to pay all expenses for the
year: but as we had about 50, 500 on
hand, it was thought best to cut the
levy down to $4,000. Consequently
| the levy was made as follows: General
fund. $500; road and bridge fund, ST.
600; special fund, $780,. interest fund,
5000; total. $4,000.
Mr.. Bennett having resigned the Of
fee of justice of the peace, Mr.. J. Cor
don was appointed to serve the unex-
pired time.
At the meeting Dec. 81, the recorder
read summons served on him for the
vi'tage, in an action brought by Daniel
Rohrer as ~ttorney. to recover on an
old claim against DR.. A. P. Miller,
made in about 1872 or 1873 against the
property where the village office now
stands. It was referred to the village
attorney for the proper defense.
During the latter part Of the year
and especially during the winter, there
has been much agitation of tho subject
OF water works. Meetings were held
where all parties were given chance
