PAID ONE AT A TIME.

Pennies Not Legal Tender In Amounts Of
More Than Twenty-Five Cents.
There is a postmaster in a little town
not far distant. who is noted for the
amount Of authority he is inclined to
show. in trivial matters. "A short time
ago, says the Mount Morris (Mich.)
Union, a: business man of the place app
peared before the stamp window of the
office and demanded 300 one-cent
stamps, for which he laid down an equal
number of pennies. Here was good
chance for the authoritative gentleman,
and with a view of teaching his impor-
tance, he picked IS pennies from the
heap, handed out Is stamps and showed
the rest of the money to the would-be
buyer with the remark that pennies
were not legal tender there in amounts
of more than rs cents.
Expostulation was in vain, the post
master cited the law In the case and that
seemed to settle it. With a malicious
CLEAN in his eye the buyer swept the re-
manning pennies into his pocket and
mildly, inquired; Il suppose I can get
a one-cent stamp here for q penny, can
T?'' Certainly said the man at the
window. 'Then give me one.cent
stamp said the other laying down the
money. It was handed to him, and he
demanded another and another after
that. Several peopleshad come in in the
meantime, and were impatiently watt
ing their turn at the window, but the
obdurate buyer kept on gravely buying
one-cent stamps on the installment
plan. Seeing determination in the face
of the other, the postmaster offered to
arbitrate, but it was Of no avail. He
continued to buy as long as his money
lasted, and triumphantly departed
amidst the approving smiles of the
crowd. 80

Don [: d! Stop

HOW 10 CURE YOURSELF WHILE
USING IT. III

The tobacco habit grows on man UNI;
til his nervous system is seriously Affect
ed, impairing health, comfort and happi-
ness. 70 quit suddenly is too severe a
shock to the system, as tobacco to an in
veterate user becomes stimulant that
his system continually Graves. "Baco-
Curo'' is scientific cure for the tobacco
habit, in all its forms, carefully COM
pounded after the formula of an emil
nent Berlin physician who has used it in
his private practice since 1872, without a
failure. It is purely vegetable and guar
anteed perfectly harmless. You can use
all the tobacco you want while taking
"Baco-C euro" It will notify you when
to stop. We give a written guarantee to
cure permanently any case with three
boxes, or refund the money with 10 per
cent interest. "Baco- euro" is not SUBJ
stitute but scientific cure, that cures
without the aid of will power and with no
lnconvenlence. 1t leaves the system as
pure and free from nicotine as the day
you took your first chew or smoke.

TY POUNDS.

used tobacco in all it's forms. For twen-
ty-tive years of that time I was great
sufferer from general debility and heart
disease. For fifteen years I tried to quit,
but couldn't. I took various remedies,
among others "No-T -Bac," 'The Indian
Tobacco Antidote," "Double Chloride Of
Gold," etc., ETC., but none of them did
me the least bit of good. Finally. how
ever, I purchased box Of your ''Baco-
euro" and it has entirely cured me of the
habit in all it's forms, and have increas-
ed thirty pounds in weight and am re-
lieved from all the numerous aches and
pains Of body and mind. I could write a

The Annual !! ]! i Meeting


The annual meeting Of the board
of county commissioners held at the
court house this week was not lacking
in interest. It took three days to trans
act the business that came before the
board
Among the most important transact
ions was the decapita alton Of three officials,
viz: q. j. Redmeyer and Filing Olson,
road commissioners Of first and second
districts, spectively, and Mrs. Nc Mil
Ian janitress. The former was removed
upon pition Of a number Of citizens OF
the Lntsen district who wanted a. w .
Peterson appointed to succeed him.
The board did not see fit to appoint Mr..
Peterson SO they rendered the position
to Alex Easier who accepted. Those
who know Mr.. Easier say that he will
make a first class official in that capacity.
The removal OF Mr.. Olson was due to
complaints made by q number of men as
to his fairness in distributing the work
e1u4 W d p0UluIOA1 dSh1uS 1Ol LIS 1eLAOVdle
Mr.. Olson was removed on Monday and
his son, Ole, appointed to succeed him.
On Tuesday Ole came before the board
and declined to accept the position
Whereupon Chris Hottie and Olof Berg
lund were offered the position, neither of
whom would accept. The crew that
have been working with Mr.. Olson
came up Wednesday morning and
protested against his removal. After
hearing their side Of the story the COM
missioners decided to retain Mr.. Olson
whereupon he was reappointed. Ben
Scott was appointed janitor, TO succeed
Mrs. Mo MILAN.
It was decided to secure pieceof land
for poor farm and accordingly COM
mittee was appointed to look up loca-
ton. The object Of this is to secure
employment for those whom the county
has to aid by giving them work on the
land. We believe this to be an excellent
idea, ,@, /. 3 4 5.
