THEY HAVE APPEALED.
Houle and Bellefeuille Begin an Action to
Recover Damages Caused by
County Road.

The 1uatter OF a settlement OF
damages for the new county road,
running from this city to Buh town,
which has been in the courts and be-
fore the board of county commits
sioners for some time, is as far from
a settlement almost us ever.
In the first place the town OF Belle
Prairie, backed by the board OF
county commissioners, laid out the
road, which divides two 100 acre
farms, one belonging to Honore
Houle and the other to Leander
Bellefeuille. Andrew Racine was
employed by the town to do some
work ON this piece OF road, and
Honore Houle brought an action
against Mr.. Racine for damages, and
was slwardedI 1925, with the costs
assessed up against Racine. This
case went through both the justice
and district courts and the plaintiff
won on the ground OF the illegality
OF the laying out of the road.
Then came the hot fight before the
county board at a recent meeting
against the laying out of the road
again. Houle and Belefeuille lost
their cause before the county board
and the road was laid out again, as
is supposed legally. A committee of
the board, composed ofGeo. LaFOnd
and Fred Lakin, was appointed to
look over the road and make an es-
innate of the damages to these two
farms in particular. They are said
to have estimated it at $3.50 each
but the: board in laying out the
road awarded only 800 each as
damages.
TheKaction brought by Houle and
Brllefeuille:: is an appeal from the
award of damages by the board.
They ask for $500 damages each.
The residents along the line OF this
road. are nearly all in favor OF it.
and they will, no doubt, make u
desperate fight to carry it through.
The road lis said to be Il great
damage to these two farms, and
while the question of the laying out
OF the roadiwill very likely be sus-
tanned, it is not probable that the
court will.raise the award OF dam
ages.

Nick Hennen, OF Pierz, says that
one reason for the delay in threshing
In his town is the very soft condi-
ton Of the ground, making it i'm
possible to get the heavy threshing
outfits from farm to farm. This
trouble was especially great in the
district east of the village.

When the governor of Mime

When the governor of Mime
sofa declared at the recent
reception of the Thirteenth
Minnesota that the time of the
usefulness of. the American
soldier had forever passed, he
made an absurd break that his
supporters are making all kinds
of explanations about. The
Little Falls Herald explains
that any fair-minded person who
reads Lind's address can see
that che meant that if the ideas
of Imperialism are carried out,
there will be no place for vol.
unteeer." Then the Herald
further observes:
"To carry out imperialistic
designs, a large standing army
is necessary, both for purposes
of conquest and to repress the
workingmen at home, who, fol.
lowing the example of their
employers, combine, and then
go on a STRIKE"
So to explain what Lind
meant about the usefulness of
the volunteers, it is necessary
to show that he referred to "im.
perialism," and no one has at.
tempted to give clear idea OF
what 'imperialism" means in
connection it's use as above.
But it is satisfactory to know
that even in the imagination Of
the Herald the designs of i'm
perialism do not contemplate
any Coxey's army of the unem
ployed.

Another year of great bust
ness activity is promised the
United States. The construc-
ton of great ships, railroads.,
cars and bridges will be greater
next year than this, and the
iron industry will necessarily
be larger than in 1899. With
abundant crops to be marketed,
and the great manufacturing
and constructing enterprises
busy-the good times should
continue as long as wise govern
mental policy prevails. And it
certainly does look like four
years more of Mckinley.

Next Tuesday there will be
several state elections. There
is much speculation in Ohio as
to the vote for Jones, the indie
pendent candidate for governor.
There seems no good reason to
expect that his vote should be
large, yet both Republicans and
Democrats profess to concede
him 10 to Is per cent of thevote.
1t looks like a game of political
bluff. Bryan is devoting the

Opposition Fails

At meeting Of committees from the
various citizens associations at 1874 +
street northwest, last week, the action
OF the Business Mems Association, in
making plans for a huge peace festival
celebration, to be held in this city in
May, was indorsed, and arrangements
made for the selection OF large general
committee, composed of representatives
from all the organizations. A number
Of special committees in charge OF differ.
ent parts of the celebration are to be
appointed in the next few days.
Considerable feeling arose over the
statement OF Mr.. Somerville, that the
Board of Trade considered itinadvisable
to hold peace carnival this year in view
OF their own centennial celebration
year hence. 1t was the first sign that
had been given OF any jealousy on the
part of the Board OF Trade towards the
Business Mems Association, and it was
resented as it deserved. Secretary
Mexican said that the peace celebration
was an assured fact; he hoped that no
one would throw any obstacle in its way,
whether through Individual effort or
through any organization, and he did not
believe that the peace celebration would
endanger the centennial celebration a
year hence.
Notwithstanding the opposition of the
Board OF Trade, the peace carnival will
be given. This much is assured. The
tide Of travel will wend its way towards
Washington next May, ano will be
rewarded with a spectacle to equal those
Of New Orleans, Kansas City, Mobile,
Memphis, and other cities.

When the Thrift Took Eject.

The Attorney General has approved
the rulings of the Board of General
Appraisers, made October s, 1897, as to
the time when the new tariff act went
into effect. The board held that the act
did not become operative until six
minutes after four O'CLOCK on the alter
noon Of July "a, 1897, that being the
precise moment at which the tariff act
was signed and approved by the Presi.
dent. This ruling of the board has been
affirmed by the United States Circuit
Court for the District of Massachusetts
and bv the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals for the first circuit.
The department has uniformly held
that the new act went into effect at
midnight on the 23d of July, which is
sixteen hours and sx minutes earlier
than the time fixed by the Attorney
General. Customs officers have been
directed to forward to the department
the usual certified statement for refund
of excess duties collected on goods
imported between midnight on July %
and 4 ;o6 O'Clock on the 24th,

IMPORTATION FOR BREWERS
AND OTHERS.
Sunday Beer Selling.

Many complaints having reached
them regarding the sale OF liquor on
SUNDAYS, the Commissioners last week
urged the passage of ball to prevent
this evil. The measure is believed to be
primarily directed against those brewer
les which have been charged with doing
an extensive business on Sundays by
selling their product in kegs, Some OF
the beer is said to go to private houses,
while the bulk of it is drunk by crowds
gathered on vacant lots in the outskirts
OF the city, where the cheering fluid
soon arouses them to a state Of hllaritY,
which, however pleasant 1t may be for
them, is by no means relished by the
residents of the vicinity,
NJ. l. Weller, who ecently appeared
at hearing before the Commissioners,
made the statement that alter careful
investigation a single brewery had been
found to sell as many as 200 kegs OF beer
on one Sunday through this illicit trade
At the suggestion of the Commissioners
Mr.. Weller, assisted by Attorney
Thomas, had the bill prepared and
introduced into both houses o. ofCongress.
1t is a very brief measure, containing
but two sections. The report of the
Commissioners is entirely favorable,
and, in fact, they urge the speedy
adoption Of It, so that il may be applied
at once, They recommend few verbal
changes, and the addition OF a clause
permitting the breweries to sell beer on
Sunday when the sale is for shipment on
that day to some point outside of the
District. With these amendments
adopted, the bill would read as follows
"That it shall be unlawful for any
maker, brewer, or distiller OF beers or
other intoxicating liquors IN the District
Of Columbia, or the agent or servant OF
such maker, brewer, or distiller, or the
agent or servant Of any maker, brewer,
or dlstiller OF intoxicating liquors outside
of said District to sell or deliver any
intoxicating liquors in the District of
Columbia on the first day of the week.

is for shipment for some point on that

cution in the name of the District of
Columbia be punished by a fine of not
less than $3.50 nor more than 500 for
each and every offence"
In commenting on the bill the Com
missioners say IN part:
"The Commissioners are heartily in
favor of this bill and cannot urge too
strongly its passage. Reports from
the Police Department regarding the
disgraceful and outrageous conduct OF
persons made drunk 10y the use of beer
sold them from some of the breweries
in the city renders this a matter of very
great importance, and the Commls-
sioners venture to EXPIRE SIS the hope that
the bill, with the few changes which are
suggested, may be passed at this session
OF Congress"

Local Rotes.
WmLet the Court Decide.

Secretary Long has referred to the
Court of Claims the question OF deter
mining the amount of bounty, II any
which is due to the officers and men OF
the cruiser New York, as the result OF
the battle OF July ), off Santiago. The
New York, Il will be remembered, was
commanded by Admiral Sampson.
The question of whether the New
York participated in the battle will,
therefore, be settled judicially. Under
the law, bounty is paid "for each per
son on board any ship or vessel OF war
belonging to an enemy at the commence.
ment OF an engagement, which is sunk
or otherwise destroyed in such engage
ment by any ship or vessel belonging to
the United States" If the enemy's
force is superior to that OF the United
States, the officers and men are entitled
to a sum equal 10 S7oo per head for each
person on the enemv's ships, but the
highest rate otherwise is only 500,
When the court takes up the matter for
consideration. it will be claimed by the
officers and men OF the ships which were
actually engaged in the fight that, with
the Spanish land batteries, the Spanish
force was superior to the American fleet
provided the New York was not present.
The court will therefore be compelled
to decide whether A dmiral SIMPSONS
ship actually participated IN the fight.
By referring the question to :he Court
of Claims Secretary Long has avoided
the responsibility Of deciding a contro'
versy which is. s.naturally, embarrassing to
the Navy Department. The officers and
men Of the Brooklyn, Oregon, Indiana,
Iowa, Texas. Gloucester and Vixen are
concerned in the decision. These ships

Pre- sidential Gifts.

The President is constantly IN receipt
OF gifts OF various kinds from all parts OF
this country and Europe. Oftentimes
these presents are Of intrinsic value, in
which event they are invariably returned
unless, Of course, the giver happens to
be a personal friend of the President.
Small favors are generally turned over
to one OF the charitable institutions of
this city. Whenever present IS sent to
the President he directs that ITS receipt
he noted and the person making the
present receives an autograph letter OF
thanks. Senators and Representatives
often tender the President some iavor as
a mark of their respect and esteem.

1t is to BE Prescribed by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
Commissioner Wilson of the internal reve-
nue. bureau has sent the following circular
to collectors of internal revenue:
referring to the non-competitive exam
ination required by executive order of May
%, 1899, for appointment to excepted places
in the internal revenue service, your atten-
ton is called to the fact that under the
terms of said order the non-competitive ex-
animation referred to is to be prescribed by
the honorable Secretary of the Treasury,
not by the civil service commission.
THE matter of the character and scope
of the examination to be prescribed for
the internal revenue service is now under
consideration by this department, and as
soon as the question is determined and ar
rangements are made for holding the exam
nations collectors will be promptly advised.
Pending such advice collectors will in no
instance make application to the civil SER
vice commission for such examinations, nor
seek information in regard to them from
that source AS heretofore stated, neces-
sary appointments to excepted places in the
internal revenue service may be made in
advance of the examination.
