CITY MAY CONDErlN.
Senator Barr's Bill Remedies any
Defect in the City Charter.

Ex-City Attorney Young, in speak
ing of the power of the city to con-
denim private property for public uses,
said today:
"The charter reads that when pro-
perty is condemned, the parties
against whom the cost is assessed re-
ceive a rebate of ten per cent if they
pay by a certain date. If they do this,
then the city has to pay the ten per
cent, which some have held it had
no authority to do, and this has re-
suited in the condemnation provision
OF the charter being questioned as to
its validity. Senator Bars bill,
which has now become a law. rene
dies any possible defect in our char
ter by giving all cities the power to
make up deficiencies in assessments
levied to pay for property con-
demned. The city may now go
ahead and condemn property without

ESTABLISHMENT OF SECTIONS
AND PROPERTY LINES.

The bill introduced last winter in
the senate by Senator Barr, providing
for the establishing of sections or
property lines in every township in
the state at the expense of the prop
erty affected, has, we understand,
passed both houses of the legislature,
and awaits the governors signature to
become law. The bill provides that
the county commissioners of any
county may cause to be surveyed, To-
Gated and staked out any or all Sec
tion or property lines pertaining to
any section or group of sections, or
any township upon the petition OF the
town supervisors, or at least two tax
payers in each section to be surveyed.
On the filing of such petition with
the county auditor the board at its
next meeting shall fix time and place
for the hearing of the same, which
shall be at least one month ahead,
and shall cause to be published in the
official paper of the county notice of
date of hearing, with full description
of the land to be affected by the sur
vey, and the names of the owners
thereof.
On the granting of the petition, the
board shall appoint a surveyor and
enter into contract with him for the
performance of such work, notice of
the same to be published in the Off
cial paper.

Section five of the bill provides the
manner in which all lost government
corners shall be re-established, and
also the establishing of property lines
as set forth in the petition, and the
preparation of a plat of the same.
Sections six and seven provide for the
approval of the plat by the county
commissioners. and it's filing in the
office of the register of deeds.
Section eight provides that the sur
veyor shall submit to the board an
assessment upon the lands surveyed
to cover the entire cost. This assess
ment is not to exceed cents per acre,
except for tracts containing less than
ten acres. nor shall it exceed 50 on
any farm. The assessment, upon
being approved by the board ana pub
lished in the official paper, shall be
entered upon the tax duplicate foi
the current year by the county audi
tor against the respective tracts OF
land so assessed, and the payment OF
the same shall be enforced In the
same manner as that of regular taxes

POSTOFPICE LOCATION.

While in the city a few days ago,
Postoffice Inspector Wood talked
with several parties regarding a new
location for the postoffice, in antici-
patton of moving out of the Young
Mems building until the new building
is completed. He looked over Ell. G.
Aker's store, in the south half of
which the postoffice was formerly To-
Gated, but did not give any intima-
tion to Mr.. Akers of his purpose. No
one seems to know what the govern
ment intends to do, and it has not re-
piled to the Y. M. l. Co. proposition.

CRUEL TREATMENT.
Joseph EngIehart Pleads Guilty to
PitchfOrking Horse.

HumaneOfficer Sheldon swore out a
warrant Saturday for the arrest
of Joseph Englehart, on the charge of
cruelty beating a horse and sticking
the tines of pitchfOrk into it. There
were half dozen spectators to the act.
When Englehart was arraigned this
afternoon and asked to plead he said
emphatically, 81 want to see the man
that brought them news up here. "
Judge Shissler explained to him that
this could make no difference, when
he asked the court, eff you had a horse
that wouldn't go, what would you dO?''
The court was unable to say what he
would do in such case, and Engle-
hart added: GAS long as | have right
to do it, I'll do it. | don't deny but a
lot of them stood around there and
seen me do it," AS he would not plead,
but demanded to see the man that
brought "them news" the court set
the trial for Monday morning, and
placed the bond at 5000. Englehart
thought the matter over for awhile
and then concluded to plead guilty,
maintaining that he had right to do
what he did, as the owner of the
horse, Mr.. Kuntz, had told him to do
it. He maintained to the court that
if he had horse that would not go, he
had a right to punish it until it did if
necessary. He was fined $685..
1t appears that Englehart was driv-
ing team up the north Front street
hill with a load of manure. Either
the horse was una BILE to go up, or was
balky, and to make him go, pitch
fork was used a number of times. Mr..
Kuntz claimed that the horse was not
injured and was "red-headed over the
arrest, SO to speak.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
Tramps Undertake to Break Into
Nyquist & VERSIONS Store.

At about 1:30 o'clock Saturday
Chas. Anderson, who works In John
Klein & Co.'s undertaking depart
ment, started for home along the
alley back of the store, and ran up
face to face with tramp. AS he
passed along he heard low whistle
from back of w. w. p. McConnell's
store, and saw two other tramps
crouched beside wood pile. Helm
formed Officer Mcdonald, and the
latter went through the alley and
found one tramp, whom he locked up.
When he went back he found a man
in the area back of Nyquist & liver
sons store, who pretended to be very
drunk. This man was the one that
Mr.. Anderson met first a short time
before, and he had not shown any
symptoms OF drunkenness then. The
three men were finally rounded up
and placed in the lookup, with Officer
CIRCUITS aid The trampS were re-
leased this morning about s O'Clock
and ordered to leave the city.
This forenoon a FREE PRESS re-
porter desired to see just where the
man stood who was found in the area,
and on investigation found a broken
butcher knife, and woodwork around
the pane of glass by the window
catch cut away and the putty re-
moved. The tramp had evidently
been at work on the window, and in a
few moments more would have been
in the store. He pretended to be
drunk to throw the officer off his
guard, and claimed that he had been
trying to find a place to sleep in the
area. The spot was well concealed by
big dry goods boxes, and the wonder
is that the officer saw him at all.
The parties are the same ones that
S. G. Peterson claims held him up at
about O'Clock, an account of which
is given in another column. Whether
anything will be done about the at
tempted breaking into Nyquist q
IverSOn'S has not yet been decided.

The bill before the legislature TIC
compel the proper observation OF
memorial day is stirring up a large
amount of opposition and it ought to.
If those who are advocating it were
aiming to bring the day into general
disrepute they could noG go at it in a
better way than through the agency
of this bill. Instead of promoting
the liberties of the people. it tends to
restrict them by forbiding the free ex-
ercise of their desire upon that day.
Memorial day ought to inspire the
greatest patriotism, but law which
would forbid the people to indulge
in games or any innocent recreation,
would simply breed contempt and
lead to discomfort. Influence will do
far more in regulating the observances
of the day than will laws which re-
strict actions and take away liberties.
The day for blue laws is past, and
with the proper cultivation of patrio-
tism the call for them would disap-
pear.

patrons has increased to FOL, but the
! number of volumes remains I'M
changed, there being 1850 volumes for
circulation to supply the demand of
70l patrons.
Notwithstanding our limitations,
unavoidable in the outset, the neces-
sity for this public library was so gen.
orally felt that our list Of patrons is
steadily increasing and they all and
each seem to fully appreciate such adj
vantages as we are able to offer them.
your board of directors will pa
tiently await the time when, with our
many deficiencies supplied, and with
a wider range OF reading IN all DEPART
ments, we can more fully realize the
objects and benefits TO the community
which your honorable body had in
view in the establishment OF this in
stitution."
