FOR $4,000.
n Libel Suit by Joseph Hennen
We. the Transcript Publish
ing Co. for that amount.

We are indebted to Sheriff Houde
for pleasant call today, and he left
a little mementO in the way of q
summons and complaint in the action
OF Joseph Hennen vs.. the Transcript
Publishing Co. for $4,000 for publish
ing statements about him that
were ''wholly false, untrue, defama.
tory and libelous, and for the pur-
pose Of injuring, maligning and de-
flaming this plaintiff and his good
name among and with the people
and public OF said city and said
county.
When 10 first served notice that
our "Needs A Cat'' article was false
we retracted the damaging state
ment, and announced in these
columns in leach and every issue O
said paper OF said date'' that he did
not need a cat. We had sup.
posed that the "amende honor
able" was satisfactory, and it
seems that it was within $1,000 of
being SO. Ii saying he didn't need
one cat only left $4,000 coming to
him, we presume that if we had said
he didn't need two cats it would
leave balance Of only $2500. If we
knew just the number of cats he
doesn't need, we would say so, and
square the bill.

FROM SATURDAYS DAILY.
To con.ider Plans.

Peter Musser. of Musca tine, Iowa,
president of the Pine Tree Lumber
company, will be in Little Falls on
Monday next with others interested
in securing better railroad facilities
for Little Falls. and will confer with
our citizens as to the best means OF
obtaining the desired improvements.
Various plans have been considered
by Mr.. Musser and citizens of this
city and county, and the propositions
will probably take definite shape
after further consultation. The
proper apportionment Of the desired
aid IL one OF the most important
questions. The county should do
It's share In assisting and the parts
most directly benefited should bear
a heavier share of the debt.

The reader of this paper will be

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-

Senator Buchanan has lust sold hi

Senator Buchanan has just sold his
wool from his large flock of sheep,
and received Ii cents pound, about
two-third of last years price. Buck
says there is a pretty good story 60
ing around among the sheep, that he
overheard them chuckling about.
A traveller in his jOurneyings passed
near a man who was shearing sheep.
The shearer had the sheep in the un-
usual position of standing ON his
head Willie he was removing the
fleece. The traveller suggested that
was the wrong way to hold his
sheeplets, and that the animal should
rest with his head UP, body erect, in
which position it conformed to the
due and ancient form. The shearer
replied that he knew what he was
doing, that he was a Democrat and
ashamed to look a sheep in the face.
Considering the Democratic demands
for free wool the feelings of the man
were justified.

The Pine Tree Lumber cOmpany's

The Pine Tree Lumber company s
assessment for taxes now reaches
$3.50, 1000, and the county tax rate is
S.s mills, thus they pay 1928 ofcounty
taxes. The total Increased county
tax by voting $4,000 railroad bonds
in place OF $25, 600 Water Power bonds
would be $3.50, of this the city OF
Little Falls would pay one-fourth, or
$500, leaving $3.50 for the entire bal
ance of the county. The voting of
the railroad bonds and the building
OF the railroad. will result in doubling
the business of the Pine; Tree Llm.
her company at Little Falls, and
they would then pay, over $1,000
county tax, or more than the entire
county outside of Little. Falls would
pay for the railroad bond interest.
On the score of economy every prop
|erty owner in any part Of the county
could well afford to favor the rail-
road scheme. Other manufacturing
plants will he added to Little Falls,
and the county taxes from them will
greatly exceed the few hundred dol
lars that outside towns will pay on
the railroad bonds. Any farmer who
will figure the bond plan out for
himself will see that the county, rail.
road bonds will decrease rather than
increase his taxes.
The increase mentioned in the Pine
Tree Co.'s assessment is only an ex-
ample, az all assessments in the city
will be increased, as they have been
during the past few years. County
bonds for a railroad will be no bur.

Peter Musser arrived in the city
yesterday, and is today consulting
with parties interested in providing
better railroad facilities for the city
and county. He met large number
of our citizens this afternoon at the
directors room of the First National
bank. The amount of municipal and
county aid that will be necessary to
insure the construction Of the road
will be 100000. 1t is probable that
the Water Power company will, in
accordance with it's past intentions,
cancel the water:power bonds it the
necessary aid cal. he voted Ito bring
another line Of road to the city
Little Falls city will be asked to vote
all it can, under the per cent limit
provided by. law, and Morrison
county will be asked to vote slightly
more than the old water power
bonds in exchange for their cancella-
ton. Belle Prairie, Little Falls to wn
and Pike Greek will be asked to- vote
slightly less than their present water
power bonds, as they have lost some
of their territory to the city they
rightly ask that their debt be re-
duced, and it is also true that their
valuations would not allow as
heavy a railroad bond debt as they
now carry. Just the amounts asked
from different localities are not yet
known, but the total must reach
100000. 1t is probable that the
proposition will be MAIDEN the name

road company, which was organized
