about these days. but it may come out

this summer than it has been for years

last tramp this year. would then come
back and be contented to put in what
little time have left here or here abouts.

1T is high time this discreditable bust

The democrats, it must lie admitted,
had a somewhat difficult game to play,

a little less crafty and little more

wise choice. The real winners have been
the republicans, who have been gaining

Hon. w. E. Lee and family will leave
Long Prairie the latter part of this month
to go to st. Cloud, where Mr.. Lee will
begin his duties as superintendent of the
state reformatory in that city, to which
he was elected short time ago. This is
much earlier than they expected to go.
as when he was elected superintendent
by the state board it was the intention
that he should not take charge until
Ian. next. The change in time is due
to the fact that D. E. Meyers. whom MIR.
Lee succeeds, desires to remove to CALI
fornia at an early date, and to enable
him to do so the state board held meet
ing in St. Paul this week when it was
decided to have Mr.. Lee take charge OF
the reformatory on Sept. /, as above
stated. The family does not expect to
leave until about the last week in Aug
ust, but Mr.. Lee will be in st. Cloud
more or less all of this month, to become
accustomed to the duties pertaining to
the office. In Mr.. Lee and family taking
their departure from our midst, Long
Prairie loses one Of ITS very best families,
and all here with one accord regret TO
see them remove from among us, and
while talking with MFR. Lee yesterday he
stated that it was with deep regret that
they were going away from this place.
Here they have lived constantly for the
last sixteen years and are personally ac-
quainted with everybody, old and young
and can only think of this town as their
home in all that the word implies. Here,
too, MIR. Lee has extensive business in
terests, which is another reason why lie
naturally regrets to leave the town.
Bur, on the other hand, the office to
which he has been elected superintendent
Is one which he could not help but ac-
cept, as financially it is better than being
governor of Minnesota. It pays saIa-
ry Of $4,000 a year. and Mr.. Lee viii
hold it as long as his work proves salts
factory to the reformatory board. 1t is
a non-politieal Office, and as long as MIR.
Lee proves efficient, which we predict
will be for some time, he will be retained.
Besides, it is good Office, being mainly
