OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
MAPLEToN, March 5, 81.

John n. Sprague found his money
which was lost last Monday. 1t was
found by Carl Sanders on the sidewalk
in front of Mr.. Troendle's store. Carl
had used sixty dollars of it and had
started for parts unknown when the
constable overlook him at Winnebago
City. He had deposited the money
with the landlord of the hotel. Mr..
Sprague recovered $40 of the $500.
Mr.. Fred Busse committed suicide
by taking half box of Trough on
Rats" Tuesday evening. 1t is most
unfortunate affair. Five of his nine
children died of the most malignant
form of diphtheria; two of them were
son and daughter which were
grown to man and womanhood. Dur
ing their illness the father could not
be persuaded that they needed medi-
Cal help, in fact, could not be persuad-
ed that they had the fatal disease. 1t
has since preyed upon his mind to such
a degree that he committed the terri
BILE deed. He was good neighbor and
very just in his dealings with the pub
lie.

ciety elected the following officers fer

LEGISLATIVE ECONOMY.

The present legislature, which will
grove to be the most expensive in the
history Of the state, already having
more useless employees than any of
Its predecessors, gives promise of
making anything but commendable
record for itself in many respects.
A vein of what may be called a
humorous economy" has struck the
Finance committee and should their
recommendations be accepted and
adopted, Minnesota will not be look
I'D upon as the state of progress which
has heretofore been of her boastful
cardinal virtues. 1t has been decid-
ndf6o>cut the expenses of the Dairy
inspection department, down to
$4,000 per year. While the depart
ment has likely been unduly extrava-
giant in the past, the limit fixed for
expenses by the committee will rem
der it practically useless. 1t were bet
ter TO abolish the whole office than to
cripple and impair it's usefulness by
insufficient appropriation. 1t has
been decided also, to draft a bill to
abolish all the state militia with the
exception of one regiment and one
company of artillery. Sen. Hompe de-
sired to do away with the appropria-
tion TO newspapers for publishing the
session laws, and thus leave the pub
lie in ignorance of the laws passed. 1t

would be bette r to abolish the legis-

would be better to abolish the legls-
lature altogether.
BY vote of 9 to the committee
determined to recommend the reduc-
tion of the proposed appropriation OF
800, 900 to the Worlds Fair to $50, 900.
Senator Hompe, Representatives
Sheets and McGrath were willing that
no appropriation at all be made for
the purpose, Mr.. Hompe claiming
that his people did not want it, and Mr..
Sheets stating that because
he could not go to the fair he
did not want any one else to 60.
If this action is sample of the in
telligence and public spirit OF the
committee it is to be pitied. Left to
popular vote, the people of Mime
sofa could be trusted to make a liberal
appropriation for this great American
celebration, and if the legislature
shall fail to do so it will exhibit lack
or knowledge of public sentiment dis
creditable to it. From what has al
ready been agreed to in the way of
'sretrenchment" it is not too much to
expect that the various state institu-
lions will suffer from lack of aid at
the hands of this committee. But it
is hoped that when the various meas
ures come up for consideration before
the committee of the whole enough
members who have an interest in the
prosperity of the state will be found
to guide Alright the final actions OF the
