Now the Sequel.

Another turn has been given to the
now famous Herman Miller case and
this time the burden is on the plaintiff.
1t will be remembers that the case
against Marshal Spaulding for taking
the plaintiffs team in out of the last
blizzard of the season was tried before
Justice Sanford by change of venue
from Judge Bouck. No appearance
was made by the village on account of
the agreement which it's attorney
holds was made when the case first
came up, but last Saturday he went out
to see what sort of a record the docket
of the country justice bore. He found
that the report that judgment had
been entered against the marshal was
unsubstantiated by the records and
here hinges peculiar condition. In
all replevin suits bond must be given
to carry the suit to Judgment and in
case of failure to do so the property
must either be returned or the costs of
the suit paid by the complaining party
No judgment having been docketed it
will now be necessary for Mr.. Miller
to return the team to the village and
make a settlement and if he fails to do
this his surety will be called upon to
put up the plunks. Marshal Spauld-
ing is feeling very we'll, thank you.

They ] WONT DO It.
The County Commissioners Refuse to
Grant the Foley Bean Request
for a Tax Reduction.
The Levy Of 1897 Must Stand, But a
Correction Will Be rIade in the
Assessors 'oS Work.

The reader will notice by the report
OF the commissioners proceedings pub
lished elsewhere in this issue that the
board refused to grant the application
OF the Foley Bean Lumber company
for rs per cent. reduction of their
taxes for 1897 ....' -
At the time the application was
made the company claimed that the
lands had been wrongly assessed, much
OF the pine having been cut off without
efecting reduction in the assessors
valuation. To prove this assertion the
assessment for 1898 was exhibited and
sure enough the records showed that
the assessor had evidently gone by the
records in the town clerks Office and
assessed the lands at the same figure
as they were in 1895, which assessment,
by the way, had been corrected by the
board of equalization at the time the
company recorded it's deeds over two
years ago.
The commissioners Immediately be-
gan an investigation which resulted in
the discovery that the tax which the
company asked to be abated was with
half dozen exceptions fairly assessed
and the valuation of the land was just
what the board of equalization had de-
cided was proper and which the COM
pany had also accepted. The half
dozen exceptions referred to would
make only about 800 difference in the
tax, while the reduction asked
amounted to nearly $4,000. When the
facts were known to the commissioners
they Immediately voted to reject the
application and the company will now
be obliged to put, the full amount
with the penalties, excepting of course
the errors in the assessment of the half
dozen forties above referred to.
The assessment for 1898 is greater
than it was for 1897 but this matter
will be corrected by the board so that
the company will not be obliged to
com plain of unreasonable taxation
when It comes to pay the tax due this
year. AS there was no error in the
1897 assessment there is no good rea-
son why the penalties and interest
should not be paid.

Isanti has again suffered from a
visit from burglars and as usual these
marauders managed to leave no clue.
The Changers of Waldo were the
losers, their store being entered and
now their stock is short several suits
of clothing and the till is shy S12 in
cash. The store is located on Ole
sWicklund's premises and that gentle
man was in Minneapolis the night in
question, fact which was probably
we'll known to the thieves. Isanti
should make special effort to secure
the arrest of these thieves and by deal
ing out fit punishment warn others to
beware Of preying on their neighbors.

~GREcN GOODS" GAME
Fraud Order Issued Against Two
 PIackS in New York.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Acting As sistant Attorney General Barrett of the postoffice department gave out tde following statement today:
 Moore & Co, No. 65 West Broad way, New York, and the Bonanza Jewelry Co.,, 1922 Park avenue, New York, have recently been operating through the mails the old green goods scheme in slightly modified form. The first circulars sent cut by this company called attention to some jewelry which the company had for sale. The jewelry was not praised very highly, but especial emphasis was placed upon the fact that each pin or piece of jewelry was attached to a long green card having picture of the Washington monument on one side and a picture of George and Martha Washington on the reverse, and the price mark $1 in each corner. The further description indicated that the promoters were dealing in counterfeit money. To those who wrote for fur ther information, if the surrounding circumstances seemed proper to op- crate the scheme, the promoters would send a piece Of cheap jewelry pinned on a genuine $1 silver certificate. This would bring in an order probably ac- companied with $40 or $1OO for a lot of the long green cards, and iL reply the promoters would send only the lot of cheap jewelry pinned on cards which in no way represented dollar bill A fraud order was issued against these concerns by the postofice Ge- partment on the 9th instant.

THE BATTLE DESCRIBED.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-A special to the Times Herald from Murpheysboro, Ill, says: "One of the dead negroes at Carterville is preacher, the others are laborers. One of the negroes when first shot started to run. He was shot again and fell. One of the white men then ran up and shot him through the head with a rife.
 "The shooting took place immedi- ately in front of Mayor Zimmerman house and in full view of several la dies seated on the porch. Before the noise of the first shots had died away the streets began to fill with excited armed men. After the crowd of ne groes had been killed and scattered it was the evident intention of the in furiated miners to go to Greenville, where the big non-union negro camp is located and finish the work. All afternoon an angry crowd of men pa trolled the streets. Later the project ed trip to Greeneville was apparently called off,

the carriage Of slaughtered animals, after an existence of nearly two hun dred years, has been abrogated by the United States since it's military cccu- patton of Cuba.
 After making a legal argument in support of their claim that the secre- tary of war has full powers to grant the permit to land the cable in Cuba, the tatement of the Commercial com pany says, in part:
 ''Whatever the power of the secre- tary of war may be in time of war, this is a time of peace, and in time oi peace wherever the American flag floats there law prevails, ard not ar bitrary power.
 fIf cur proposed cable were about to disturb the peace or create a monop- oly or interfere with trade, or obstruct navigation, the government might le gally forbid it. but, inasmuch as this cable will destroy the monopoly and will aid trade and will facilitate com merce, we defy the legality of prohibit tion by the government against the cable being laid. In your letter you re- fer to the act of congress which pro hibits the executive department from making grants in Cuba But that act does not prohibit a cable, which we propose to lay without any grant whatsoever. The act was passed to limit the power of the secretary of war and net to increase it
 ''We have accepted in writing the pest road act of congress of 1866. By so doing we .iare authorized by the terms of the act to lay our cable under all navigable waters of the United States. The act controls the United States government everywhere. It binds the United States government whenever and wherever the govern ment is in control of navigable waters. If such control is temporary, this act of congress applies and continues so long as the cortrcl continues

Affair tn Hyde Park Proved Spirif-

London, Sept. 17.-Although the weather today was beautiful, the much talked of demonstration in Hyde park, London, against the verdict of the Rennes court martial recondemning Dreyfus on the charge of treason, proved a spiritless affair
 A few thousand collected around the seven platforms, but they were mainly boys, servant girls and idlers. Very few Jews or foreigners were in evil dence. A large force of police in 8J- tendance had nothing to do, as the demonstration could not possibly be more orderly. The speakers were in no way influential Most of the inter est centered around the platform where MT. Hartzfeld, a relative of Dreyfus, delivered an address.
