IRREGULARITIES
In the Work of Ex-City Recorder
Frank |. Gleason.

For the past two weeks there have
been runors flying around regarding
irregularities during the term of Frank
l. Gleason as City Recorder of Red
wood Falls, that gentleman having
served about two years in that capaci-
ty. The rumors were confirmed at
special meeting of the finance COM
mittee of the city council held last
Friday evening for the purpose of
Investigating the administration of
Mr.. Gleason.
Itappears that as soon as Mr.. Dick
inson returned to the Office of Mayor,
he at once commenced an examination
of the financial condition of the city,
and in going over the statement made
by Recorder Gleason and given out
and published as his official statement,
he noticed that the official had not
included in the report the receipts of
his Office for placing the names of can
didates on the city ticket for the cleo
ton of 1894. After the report was
made out, it appears that Mr.. Gleason
turned over $35 of this money, and
this will appear in the financial state
ment of 1895, to be published next
December. According to the books,
Mr.. Gleason is SIS short, and interest
on the total amount, if the council
chooses to enforce the rule.
Another matter in which Mr.. Glea-
son has failed to turn over money
paid to him to be paid into the city
treasury, according to the findings of
the Mayor and finance committee,
which consists of Aids. Mead and
Burmeister, is the money derived
from the dog license. There were 21
dogs licensed during the year at the
rate of $l each. Of the amount Mr..
Gleason has turned over $11, leaving
him still $40 short. One of the dogs
licensed was female, and the ordin-
ance requires fee of 81 or $3 for the
same, but Mr.. Gleason claims that he
only received 81, and the the commit
tee does not care to push the question,
and will accept the 81. At three
o'clock Mr.. Gleason had not yet made
up the Deficiencies.
There are runors of other small
deficiencies, but The GAZETTE awaits
action of the finance committee.
City Attorney Pierce, when ques-
toned as to these irregularities, denied
positively that they existed, and when
asked whether the city would prose
cute said that there was nothing to
prosecute. Mayor Dickinson con-
firms the statement of Irregularities.

BIG GUN.
Senator peterson's Judgment Gre
ates National Comment.

Ex-senator Peterson has been the
subject of great deal of comment
eyer since he got $4,000 judgment
against the Western Union Telegraph
Co. Papers all oyer the United States
have commented on the judgment.
Here is one from Town Topics, New
York, that is couched in tones deep
and sarcastic:
The fame of the little, old-fashioned
Teutonic borough of New Ulm, Min
nesota, has hitherto rested chiefly up
on it's stubborn and heroic resistance
to the bloody Sioux, back in 1862.
Those we're frontier days, however,
and the valorous deeds of that time
are mere memories now. To-day New
Ulm is right in the centre of our mod
ern civilization, and instead of fight
ing aborigines, it's denizens, after the
fashion Of the day, wage relentless
warfare against the corporations,
'those great foes of the liberties of
the people, And. though the New
Ulmers may strike but few blows,
when they do strike they hit exceed
ingly hard. Thus, only last week, q
Jury of twelve good men and true"
in New Ulm awarded a verdict against
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany of $4,000 for transmitting a
message to ex-senator Sam Peterson,
of Minnesota, about two years ago,
which contained merely the words:
"Slippery Sam, your name is pants.
It will at once strike everyone that
the moderation of the jury in award,
ing SO small a sum for SO gross libel
was most praiseworthy. The query
will also present itself to the thought,
full readers, wherein did the chief libel
consist! Was it in the seductive, al
lucrative phrase slippery Sam" or
in the shameless statement "your
name is pants3" The offense in both
cases is so grievous that it is difficult
to say which is the worse. It is rath-
er funny, moreover, to think OF q cor

poration like the Western Union be-
ing mulcted $4,000 for the indiscre-
tion of allowing itself to be made the
medium for calling an honest legis-
lator slippery individual. The West
ern Union ought to know that men,
bers of legislative bodies in this coun-
try are as much above suspicion as
Caesars wife, and, above all, that
their names are not "pants." The
company ought to congratulate itself
upon the smallness of the verdict, and
henceforth notify its patrons that they
will not be allowed to call anyone
"pants" by telegraph, unless they first
deposit $4,000 as a guarantee that
the respective individuals name is
actually "Pants.''

wife, so must the dairyman look for
certain points to have good dairy
COW. see my friend, A. D. Stewart,
says there are $50 cows within a radi-
us OF 6 miles of Redwood Falls with
which to start a cooperative cream
cry. Now | do not wish to discourage
any one but I would bet a cookie that
not half that number if fed as dairy
cows should be, would pay for their
feed. | will give few points of a
good dairy COW, and here let me say
they are confined to no particular
breed of cattle but. may be found in
every breed, even among scrubs, but
of course more can be found in those
varieties which have been bred for
the dairy for generations. A good
dairy COW may be from small to large,
and in mixed farming 1 would prefer
a good size,so that if the calf is raised
to steer he may be worth feeding.
Like the honey bee, the butt end of
COW is the business end, so taking our
stand behind the COW she should ap-
pear to us broad across the hips, the
thighs wide apart, and the space filed
with broad deep bag, and her body
appear like wedge, tapering to her
muzzle. Her tail should be thick at
the butt nicely tapering, and finish up
with a brush of fine soft hair. Now go
and look her in the face, and she must
have broad muzzle with large nos
trils, lean, thin head, fine, smooth,
tapering horns Gf she has any, fine,
thin ears, yellow cclor inside and a
soft, mild eye Juno was styled by
the Greek poet ox-eyed. Having ex-
amined both ends we now take view
broadside. She will appear rather
ewe-necked, sloping shouldered, but
deep from withers to dewlap, and a
reasonably straight back line. Her
udder should be long and deep, with
good sized and tapering teats set we'll
apart. Now feel her skin; if that is
soft and velvety, if she has large milk
veins running from the front of her
bag forward and also over the udder;
if she has fine, soft hair on her bag
that. feels like new canton flannel, she
will pass muster, and you need not
stand for dollar or two in price for
she will be worth more in the dairy
than whole herd of female steers. I
have said nothing of the milk mirror
or escutcheon as it would need illus
trations to describe it, but enough
points have been given, SO that any
one can take them and select a really
good COW. I find as I have already
occupied considerable space on the
first half of my subject, it would make
my article too long for one paper so
will write on feed, labor and market
in nv next. JAMES ARNOLD.
