During the severe thunder storm last
Wednesday evening, which passed over
this village, lightning struck the Meth
odlst church weather vane, knocking it
down. 1t also broke off about half of
the steeple, demolished one side of the
belfry and tore off a large part of the
boarding from the front side of the
church, tore up window castings and
did other damage. Very little damage
was done inside. The WEATHER vane came
down with such force, it imbedded itself
n the window casing on the ground
1oor next to Mrs Wadleigh's. Nothing
was set on fire, which was remarkable
n such a case.
Not much has been done hayng the
)ast week, but most farmers were very
dad to see the rain as it was very dry.

It IS not SO Bad.
The Recent Decision on the Anderson
Law Has Not Injured rlille Laos
H. County Much. 0
The County Finances Will Not Be
Crippled by the Other Tax Law b
*,s"$*z 5z s.t 81 Decision, Either. @ ...z +.

The effect Of the decision of the
United States court in the Anderson
tax case is not so bad as far as this
county is concerned as was intimated
last week. Little will be refunded by
the county, as the tax on the greater
part of the railroad lands is still delin-
quent, the company discharging the
tax liens only when transfer was
made. There are about IS, 600 acres of
land held by railroads in this county,
all but about 2, 800 acres of which be-
longed to the St. Paul & Duluth. AS
these lands are no longer in the pos
session of the company they will here
after be taxable, Though the Ander-
son tax law is wiped off the books it
has accomplished much good in that it
has practically forced the railroad
companies to sell the greater part of
their. unused lands and they will
therefore pay taxes to the State and
county hereafter in spite of the decis-
ion.
The other decision which declared
the tax law of 1897 unconstitutional
will not injure the county's finances,
either. Although practically all the
lands offered at the forfeit sale under
its provisions were sold, the county re-
ceived only about $3.50 which it can be
called upon to refund. The bidders
who sought to avoid the payment of
county taxes by bidding in the lands
for the State tax really did the county
good turn, for the lands are now in
the exact condition they would have
been in had the sale never taken place.

something About Keith's New Metropolis
In The Wilds Of Beltramt County.
I The following from the Border Bud

ters at Big Falls: .@ r. E..
1 Daniel Campbell, who recently made
final proof upon his homestead at the
Big Falls Of the Big Fork river, has
sold to the officials of the Minnesota g.
International railway seventeen acre
tract, the consideration being $4,000,
the greater part of the amount having
already been paid over to Mr.. Camp
bell. @ .s %.& 81. e.
\ 1t is to be used, so it is stated, for
depot and yard purposes, probably a
power house may be erected thereon,
the tract skirting the majority of front
bordering on the falls. r..
Mr.. Campbell states that, although
he has some tempting offers, he will
reserve the remainder until such time
as he can find a buyer who desires a To-
cation for a pulp mill, or failing in
this, dispose of it In town lots. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Campbell's belief the
embryo town will assume practical
shape during the coming winter.
The right of way for the railway is
to be cut through to that point, and a
store established by firm at present
established at Bemidji. There is also
talk of a saw mill, though we believe
this is not as yet an assured fact. An
attempt will also be made to establish
a post Office at an early date. He
states that many settlers are hocking
to that section, and that liquid refresh

DUNN'S "REMENIBER."

State Auditor and Tracts of Land Sold
-.9*S Under Recent Forfeiture Sale.
State Auditor Dunn has issued a cir
cular to county auditors, instructing
them as to how to treat tracts of land
which were sold at the recent forfeited
tax sales for taxes delinquent in 1895
and prior years, when the purchasers
refuse to. pay taxes delinquent for
years subsequent to 1895. In his letter
Auditor Dunn says:
'ln many counties in the State, it is
the practice to take only one tax judg-
ment against real property: subsequent
taxes, when delinquent, are merely
added to and become part of the orig.
inal judgment. The recent forfeited
tax sale included delinquent taxes for
1895 and prior years. Those tracts
sold at the forfeited sale to an actual
purchaser, who has refused or neglect
ed to pay the subsequent taxes 1896,
1897, 1898 and 1S99) therefore stand on
the records without Judgment for the
taxes that are delinquent. The ques-
tion has arisen how to treat such tracts
to obtain a judgment for the taxes tn at
are delinquent in order that collection
can be enforced. In my opinion, one
Judgment should be taken for all the
years that are delinquent.
Remember this circular letter re-
fers only to tracts sold to an actual
purchaser at the forfeited sale, leaving
the 1896 and subsequent taxes unpaid.
All tracts that were bid in for the
state rest upon the Judgment already
obtained and are not referred to in this
connection.
'Remember, also, that the penalty
of Is per cent. only for each year
should be- added to the taxes, because
interest begins to run from date of en-
try of judgment and not before ST.

almost complete and Mr.. Woodcock
said this morning that his firm would
begin to buy timber as soon as snow
came and would probably start up
about the first of the year.
All the machinery is new and of the
latest type and the firm expects to be
able to turn out about 10000 hoops and
$4,000 feet of lumber per day. To
operate tie plant to its full capacity
crew of about thirty men will be neces-
sary. The company expects to pay
about SIS per thousand for first class
elm logs and thus the farmers will find
a market for something that hitherto
has been worse than worthless to them.
Last winter many land owners offered
to give their elm trees to anyone who
would cut them down and remove
them. The UNION predicts that the
new industry will prove to be a good
