without Knife or Fire.

Mr.. S. E. Carmichael, a prominent
citizen of Henrietta. Texas, writes: !
wish to tell YOU what Swift's Specific
has done for my wife. Several years
ago there appeared a splotch on the cor
ner of her nose which gradually increasd
in size, and became quite painful; on
washing her face it would frequently
bleed. The doctors called it cancer, and
advised that it be removed by the knife
or burning, stating that it never would
do to neglect it. My wife refused to
have it cut or. burned but at the same
time it continued to grow worse. After
a time she commenced taking S. S. S.,
which effected an entire cure. She used a
half dozen small sized bottles. We both
think there is no medicine in the world
that will equal Swift's Specific, and we
would like for all sufferers to know the
benefit she has received from it"
S. S. S. cuIes blood diseases of this
character by forcing the poisonous germs
and the poison also. A valuable book
on blood and skin diseases will be mailed

The Chute su~vev,

The st. Cloud Times has the following
bit of interesting information CLEANED
from the court records:
About seventy answers were filed. with
the clerk of court to-day, by N. H. Miner,
as attorney for the interested Sank Cen
tire parties, Sin the matter of the pro-
ceedings to enforce payment of the taxes
onreal estate remaining delinquent on
the first Monday in January, 1892 for
the county of Stearns, State of Minneso-
ta," Directing to the proceedings.
This matter dates back two or three
years, when Robert Ltftz was County
Auditor. While he held this office, he in
structed the county Surveyor to make
survey of Sections 8, 9, 10, Is, &c and
Robbins & Mendenhall's addition to
Sank Centre. This was dene because
the descriptions ofland were too lengthy
and, as the county auditor claimed.
could not be easily designated. The sur
yeY was made, but when he bills of the
County Surveyor came before the Board
objections to their payment were raised
by the owners of the Auditors Subdiyi-'
sions (now so-called) upon the ground
that they had never been notified by the
County Auditor as required. These bills
applied to the expense of the auditors
survey in sections 8, Is and Robbins &
Mendenhall's addition. The case went
to- the District Court, where the survey
was held to be illegal, because of the
failure ofthe County Auditor to notify
the property owners of the necessity
therefor, and giving them the privilege
of making it themselves. Consequently
these bills have never been paid. 1t was
once thought that the case would go to
the supreme court but no appeal has ever
been taken. asr -..
The county commissioners, however,
allowed the bills which pertained to the
survey of sections 9, 10 and 16; contrary
to the opinion of the county attorney.
as that official asserts. The bills having
been paid the auditor made the assess
mentt against the property, which were
included in the taxes for 1889.
In their answers to the proceedings the
owners object for the reason-as they
claim-that the land is not described by
any legal, authorized or known descrip-
| ton Thereof, the auditor having listed the
property according to the plats returned
| by the county surveyor, which have been
declared illegal by the court. The re-
spective owners state that part of the
| tax was illegal and assessed without
authority for the sole purpose of raising
money with which to pay the costs OF
survey, plating and recording of a plat
of the said piece or parcel of land (de.
scribed in each case) together with GER
tain other lands in the town of Sank
! Centre, designated as auditors subdivi-
sion of sections 9, 10 and 16, which said
surveying and plating was done by the
county surveyor of said county by the
pretended direction or request of the
county auditor. 1t is claimed, that the
plat was not necessary, and it is further
stated that they offered to pay the taxes,
excepting the cost of the survey, but
that the Treasurer refused to accept it
in part.
Theca will come up at the next
special term which occurs on the Goth

Sheriff Hamerell's handsome resi-

desirable residence portion of the city
was destroyed by fire on Saturday last.
The loss is 81, 900 and insurance 81 200.
The many friends of the genial Sheriff, in

in his misfortune. The total ineficiency

Joseph Capser was made chairman of

position upon the face of the globe than
that of. an unsalaried officer Of small

and faithfully he may discharge the oner-
ous-duties deyolving upon him he may be
assured of more kicks than ,ha'pencs-
