A County Loan of $4,000
From State Trust Funds
To Pay Outstanding
indebtedness, Will
Be Submitted TO
The People.

We print in another column a
a notice of special election IN the
several towns of this county, to
vote on the question of author
ling the county board to make
application to borrow S35, OOO.-
90 from the state Trust Funds,
payable in four equal INSTALL
ments, at three aud one half per
cent. interest, for the purpose of
paying outstanding indebtedness
of the county, which indebted
ness is in the shape of county
orders, judgments and court
house bonds. IF this loan is
made. the county will be on a
cash basis and if the county af
fairs are MANAGED as economi-
cally in the future as they have
been during the past year, coun-
ty orders will represent cash for
all time and the rate Of taxation
will be much less than heretofore.
We are in favor of the loan for
two reasons: = First, because,
with cash in the treasury, the
county can do business from ff-
teen to twenty-five per cent.
cheaper than it is possible ,.nder
the present system, where coun-
ty orders are discounted from
five to fifteen per cent. and in
many cases, where orders are
put in judgment, from ten to
twenty per cent. additional is
added in costs and thereby, the
county is compelled to pay in
terest at the rate of six per cent.
on one hundred fifty per cent. of
the actual value of the service
rendered of material furnished.
Second, because the principal
and interest of the loan must be
be paid in the short space of four
years. IF the loan was made for
"a longer period, a larger part OF
the property of the county now
in The shape of pine timber would
be. cut and removed and thus es-
cape it's share of the burden.
We are of the opinion that the
county board acted wisely in
submitting the question of MAX
inga short time loan and we be-
lieve that the people who are in
terested in the upbuilding and
development of the county should
advocate and vote for the loan.

of refinement, a womanly wo-
man.

"Ioe" is one of Villas County's
bright, energetic citizens, who

county clerk in 1897 and is now
special deputy game warden for
the 9th. Congressional District.

Elections were held in twelve
states Tuesday, the results Of which
are eminently satisfactory to the
Republicans, with a single exception,
the loss Of Maryland through split
in the party. Kentucky, however,
goes Republican as an offset. Ohio,
Mass, Iowa, n. r., N J., Penn, S.
D. and Kansas are all IN line.
1t has been intimated BY those
who claim to be in the confidence Of
the President that the forthcoming
message to Congress will recommend
action against the trusts as combines
to interfere with trade. is highly
probable that definite policy on the
subject win be proclaimed, or recon-
mended, which will be a statement
ofprineiples ofthe Republican party.
This statement of principles will be
conservative, necessarily SO, because
it is the practice Of the Republican
party TO put into practice IFS
professions. 1t is fun for the party
that is out of power to promulgate
lofty sentiments with the knowledge
that they will never be in position
to carry out their abstract schemes.
The editor of the Mondovi Herald,
like Gov. Scofeld, is not in accord
with the Republican party upon the
question of national expansion, as it
at present confronts us. He seems
to be hurt by our statement that OPP
position to the efectual possession of
our island acquisitions is of no con-
sequence. Is it of any consequence?
His confession in the following is evil
dent that it is not: ut is probable
that the majority Of the people of
this country would vote for territorial
expansion II they had the chance.
Certainly they would. Then Of
what consequence is opposition? 1t
cannot change the conditions.
Why, we have the islands. They
just fell to us-eame to us by chance.
We are in situation where we
cannot retreat. Whether it is a
physical impossibility or not is of
no consequence, it is a moral inn
possibility, and the judgement of an
immense majority of the nation is
that we viii not retreat. 1t would
manifest a spirit of pusilanimity,
cowardice, to reeede. And those are
terms that must not be used
especially when with hundred
thousand men under arms,

A party was given at Rob Germans
Saturday evening. A very pleasant time
was enjoyed by all.
On Friday morning between the hours
of one and two our quiet village people
were aroused from their slumbers by the
alarm of FIRE. Every man, woman and
child who heard the alarm started out,
and on reaching the spot it was found
that NJ. w. McInerny's blacksmith shop
was on fire. All possible aid that could
be gotten was brought and every one
worked like major, but the fire was
under such Roadway before it was seen
that nothing could save the shop. The
men then turned to save the /. o. o. F.
Hall, but it was SO close to the shop that
this too was impossible with only pals OF
water. Seeing they could not save it
they broke in the door and got out such
things as could be handed through
windows. The fire then spread to the
O'Connel house occupied by H. Miller.
They managed to save their household
goods and everything with the exception
of few cans OF fruit and his potatoes,
which were in the cellar. The men had
all they could do to save the Tousley
house and the church.
Eugene Coon has returned from Hud-
son where he has been at work for some
