happened, aud to use a familiar
phrase, the Democrats weren't in it.
The appointments created considerable
surprise and comment, especially as the
contest has been waged with consider
able feeling. if not bitterness, and in
connection with the fight there is a good
deal of history, which may come to the
front later.
However, the agony is over, and
everybody is thankful for that.

look up a certain matter regarding you

"Of course the idea IS for me to pro-

sTILLwATER NE VS..
The Washington County Printing
In q Legal Snarl.

The board of county commissioners
had very interesting session yeSter-
day. preparatory to letting the contract
for the county printing for the year. In
years gone by it has been the custom
for two of the county papers to combine
in the printing matter, but this year
there is another paper in the field, and
the commissioners hoped to save the
county considerable money. The bids
of the Messenger and Gazette, opened
yesterday, were little below the legal
rates, while that of the Saltwater Amer
lean was down to bedrock prices. There
being question as to whether or not
the American could be considered a
legal paper. because OF the fact that
it has not lived up to ali the require
ments of the law defining legal paper.
adopted by the Legislature last winter,
the contract was not awarded yeSter-
day, but the matter was referred TO the
county attorney for his opinion, and the
board took recess until next Monday.
1t is highly probable that the legality of
the law itself will be tested, no matter
which of the three papers receives the
printing, and that it will be carried into
the courts is foregone conclusion.
A winter carnival will be held at the
st. CroiX ice rink next Saturday, which
promises to be one of the grandest
affairs of the kind held in the Northwest
this winter. A street parade at~tloon
will be one of the best features.

IHaC OF bringing bChe1g ana
Floyd Back From England.
The county commissioners resumed
yesterday morning the session which
was adjourned from Monday. The board
transacted considerable routine bust
ness. The most interesting matter con-
sidered was the bill OF expenses in
cured by Detectives Hoy and Lawrence
IN bringing back ScheIg and Frank
Floyd from England. Hoy's bill is
l,75725, and that of Lawrence is
81, 304.30. The expenses looked pretty
stiff To the commissioners, but County
Attorney Nye called attention to the
good work of the detectives, and init
mated that they secured a plea of
guilty" from Scheig, which saved the
county some uncertainty and consider
able expense. The board approved the
bills.
The petition of F. E. Griswold for
permission to go before the supreme
court on behalf of the county and argue
in favor of the courts sustaining its
former decision declaring the issue of
new courthouse bonds illegal was de-
MED. Standing committees were an
nounced for the ensuing year. The
board decided to retain Gunner as
draughtSman in the county surveyors
office.

The governors decision in this matter

pretty generally that his eXcellency

Democratic candidates actively in the

between some of the friends OF Daven-

out Of the question TO bring about the
