The Australian System.

County Auditor Frank Ellenbecker is
in receipt of the following circular let
ter from Fred. p. Brown, Secretary of
State, in regard to the operations of the
Australian system of balloting:
OFFICE OF SECRETARY Of STATE1
STATE OF MINNESOTA. I
ST.. PAUL, May IL, 1892.
To County Auditors and Boards of Com
missiOners.
GENTLEMEN The election law of
1891, bringing the entire State under the
so-called Australian system of voting in
General Elections, imposes important
duties upon this department, upon the
county auditors, upon county boards,
and city and village corporations within
the several counties; all of which must
be performed in consecutive order, to
secure a valid election.
1t is made the duty of this department
to furnish the necessary printed forms
and blanks for conducting the elections
and the state and presidential ballots
for voting.
The necessary blanks will be forward
ed in due season by this department, in
accordance with the law, to the county
auditors, who are, in turn, to distribute
the same to city, village and township
clerks within their several counties.
Your attention is called to Section
two of the election law requiring town.
ships casting more than 400 votes to
have the same divided into two or more
election districts. Under the law, it
will be nearly impossible to cast the
vote of any district containing 400
voters.
For the purpose of obtaining uniform
ity in the manner of voting and to pro-
vide the necessary booths and ballot
boxes, and pencils. and to procure these
necessary supplies at reasonable cost,
it would seem advisable that the chair
men of the town boards, or town clerks
of each county, should meet in conven-
ton and agree upon the purchase Of
these supplies. The law being silent as
to the manner of securing booths, 1t be-
comes the duty of the town boards to
furnish the same for the election dis
trict within the towns, and the village
and city councils to make provisions for
their several election districts.
F. p. BROWN,
Secretary of State.

WILL LOSE THE LOGS.

From the Grand Rapids Magnet.
During the winter considerable dissat-
isfaction wasexpressed by severallum-
bermen, at the contract obtained by
c. A. Smith Il Co., for the privilege
Of cutting logs on the reservation.
1t appears that Smith & Co. were
not satisfied with obtaining very
favorable contract, but took advan-
tage Of matters and cut class of
timber not included in the agreement.
A government inspector has been up
at the reservation, and from the fol-
lowing telegram from Washington,
which appears in the Minneapolis
Tribune of the 21st, 1t seems they
will lose their logs.
Messrs. Smith and Bassett, of Min
neapolis, were at the land department
today trying to get an order for the
release Of large quantity of logs
which special agent Of the govern
ment is holding in the Winnebagosh-
ish dam. The firm were given per-
mission year ago to cut dead and
fallen timber off the Leech Lake and
Winnebagoshish reservations. There
was a stipulation that the work was
to be done exclusively by Indians.
Complaint was made that great
deal Of green standing timber was
cut and that the foreman Of the
camps, teamsters, sawyers and many
Of the choppers were white men. An
investigation was ordered and the
special agent reported that 80 per
cent Of thee l,gs were from green
standing timber. All the logs in
sight were seized by the government
agent several months ago. Smith &
Basset claim that if the men disregard
ed the requirements of the government
it was through ignorance, but they did
not admit that the order had been Vi
olated. They also claimed that white
men were only employed in respons-
ible places. The statement Of the
special agent regarding the violation
of the orders were so positive that
Commissioner Carter was compelled
to deny the application for the release
of the logs which will probably be
sold for the benefit otthe government.

Italian family who wandered years
ag, to the American frontier as a
Catholic priest and was stationed in
this country for. a time. Later he
went to Wisconsin, married aud re-

went.to South America. He had one
daughter by his marriage, and after
going to Brazil suddenly disappeared.
Years passed and he was supposed to

What Will They Do For Little Falls!

A number of prominent Northern
Pacific officials were in the city last
week, among whom were w. G. Mel
len, general manager; w. e. Kimber-
ly, general superintendent; Frank
Green, division superintendent. The
party visited the Barge w orks, being
shown over the great plant by Capt.
McDOugall. After taking q run to
the Freeman mill and to the Leigh
coal docks the party returned to the
Union Depot. 1t Is rumored that
the Northern Pacific intends to put
on the lakes a merchandise packet
line between Superior and Buffalo,
and that they came to this city to
consult with the Barge Company
officials relative to the use Of the
whalebacks for that purpose. Mr..
Mellen says that their company is
ready to do their share towards
building a half miIlion-dollar union
depot. "

A, Good Plan To Advertise This City.

A Good Plan To Advertise This City.
A very large number of people be-
sides the politicians will be attracted
to Minneapolis and St. Paul during
Republican convention week, COM
mencing June Z, attracted by the
greatly reduced railroad rates from
all parts OF the country. Some will
come to see the convention and some
to see the country. A prominent cit
izen suggests that it would pay Lit
tie Falls to distribute among that
crowd a liberal supply OF printed
matter: describing the advantages
this city offers to Investors, and in
this way induce many to visit this
place and Investigate it. The cost
Of the work would not be great, and
the profit would possibly be large.
The Northern Pacific has advertised
Il special rate for that time from the
cities to western points and return.
Our citizens should consider this mat
ter. as it will probably be brought
up for public consideration within
a few days. s-s.s
The Prison Mirror remarks: There
seems to be some doubt about Min
neapolis being able to furnish suff1ci-
[ent accommodations for the crowd
that will attend the National Com
vention. We have two hundred va
can't rooms here, and the short run
between saltwater and minneapolis
would Ia q pleasant little Journey. B

YOU have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re
