STREET ER's object IN supporting dem
ocrats last fall IS beginning to be exem-
plifed. Since Franz VOLTS instalment
into the Office of commissioner of the
Third district, 1t will be noticed that
Streeter is again working in" his old
time bills for job work, etc, as if there
was no other job Office in the world.
Last summer the work was let to the
lowest bidder, which was nothing more
than fair, and at the same time saving
the county at least one.third on what
they are now paying; but, since Mr..
Wolf has taken his seat, together with
Mr.. Margach, streeter has majority of
the board which he can dictate to and
bulldoze, and thus get anything he
wants at bis own figures. -Winona Times.
The above paragraph Is as utterly false
as was the statement last fall in regard to
the writer's taxes. Last summer the two
publishers bid on a job of printing for
the county. The Record man put in his
bid, and then the Times man wanted to
ind out what his competitors bid was,
so that he could bid lower; but he failed.
Streeter's bid was lowest, and the work
was given to him by Chairman McLain,
whose action was absolutely fair in the
whole transaction. At the beginning of
the year about $50 worth of Job work
was needed, and the commissioners were
all favorable to getting the work done by
the Record on the basis of the bid under
which the work was done last summer,
knowing that good work could not pos.
sbly be done at lower figures, and recog-
nizlng the advantage Of having Job print
inE done where it can at once be obtained
if needed in hurry. The editor of the
Record was not present "bslldozing the
board" when the work was ordered by
the commissioners, but was in Bismarck.
BE left fer that city Tuesday morning to
gaze upon the states notables at the re-
ception to the new officials, and did not
know until his return that the printing
had been ordered, which, we understand,
was on Thursday, the last day of the ses-
sion.
As most of our readers probably know,
all public printing In newspaper has lts
price fixed by law, and good share of it
is required to be printed IN but one pa
per, although for several years it has
| been printed in both of the newspapers
in this county. Before making out the
bill the Record man applied to the
county auditor for the bill under which
the previous job Of printing had been
done; but the auditor, after thorough
search, was unable to fnd it. Thereupor
the bill was made out as near as could bt
remembered on the basis of the old bid
and we are confident that in some item
the last bill was the lesser of the two.
Now, to show the unfairness Of th'
publisher Of the Times. Our readers hav,
undoubtedly noted that the itemized &C

Annual Meeting of the Women's
Board Today.
Enthusiastic Gathering at Berkeley
Temple, Boston.

BosToN, Jan. 16.-The 9th annual meet
ing OF the Women's Board of Missions
representing Congregational churches in
the eastern part OF the United States, was
held in Berkeley Temple this morning,
beginning at 10 o'clock. The board has %
branches whicn embrace 1923 senior aux
iliaries with an estimated membership
of about 10000 and 545 junior auxiliaries
and mission circuits with about 10000
members. Miss A. b. Child, secretary,
presented the report of the Home depart
ment. Mrs. s. b. Cnpron, after five years
of successful work in Chicago, has been
appointed a member OF the executive COM
mittee. A special effort has been made
the past year to secure new members for
auxiliaries. One branch reports GOO new
members at tho close OF the year, and
there have been decided gains in others.
Upward of 10000 meetings OF boards
and branches, auxiliaries and mission
circles have been held during the year.
The junior work of the department has
year in the cradle roll, with near
ly one thousand names on the list;
in the mission circles, with about 5000
members; in the Sunday schools, In
Christian Endeavor societies and junior
auxiiaries, also with 5000 members. The
contributions from all these sources have
amounted TO SlS,5G3.9i.
The financial estimates for 1895, pre-
sented in November, showed an increase
OF more than 5000 over those of 1894. In
1894 the total amount received was s101,-
S9S52 in contributions, slO, 1851 less than
in 1893; s2i,550.jj In legacies, s2i3632
more than the previous year, making the
total decrease ss323s9.
Reports were presented showing the
number OF female schools AMI missions
and "Biblc Women" maintained by the
board IN foreign countries, and in each
instance the reports showed a wide in
crease and development OF the work dur
ing the last year. The morning session
was closed with prayer.
