SURETY COMPANY BONDS.
County Commissioners Cannot Legally
Paw for Them.

A dispatch from Winona says that a
letter received from the state attorney
generals office sustains the contention
of County AttorneyAnderson and turns
down Public Examiner Pope. At the
time County Treasurer Crise was sus-
pended on account of a shortage and J.
E. Kaiser was elected to succeed him.
Examiner Pope recommended that the
commissioners require him to give a
surety company bond and the commits
sioners pay for the same. Kaiser was
ready to give regular bond with per-
sonal securities, but took out a surety
company bond with the understanding
that the commissioners would pay for
it. The action raised a protest and
written objection was filed with the
commissioners against paying the bill
for the bond. The decision received
today is to the effect that the commits
sioners have no power to require a
surety bond and cannot legally pay for
it.

NEW CLAIM APPEARS.
Notes for $500 and Interest not on
F0wles' Bros Schedule of Liabilities.

An examination of the bankrupts
was had Monday afternoon before
Referee Flittie in the case of Fowles
Bros. w. N. Plymat, trustee for the
estate, B. G. Taylor, attorney for the
trustee, and A. E. Clark, attorney for
the bankrupts, were present.
1t was brought out in the evidence
that the capital originally invested in
the business by the firm was 50, 700,
whilethe amended schedule of liabilities
is over SO, 900 and the stock appraises
at something over $1,000. 1t developed
that a claim for about 81, 300 from
E. E. Witherby, of Chicago, a brother
in-law of the Fowles Bros, had been
inadvertently omitted by the firm in
making up the schedule OF their LA
bilities, as were also several small
claims, aggregating about $500.
The books show that during the
nineteen months that the firm was do
ing business 7. W. Fowles drew out al
average of $145 month, and A. S.
Fowles an average of 800 month
The total amount of the expenses of al
kinds was about So, 900.
The So, 900 borr ovid from Mr.. With
erby is not recorded on the books, bu
the firm claims that the money was
turned into the business except $4O0
which was used by A. S. Fowles ant
which is in addition to what the book
show that he drew out.

GOV. LIND IN TOWN
Will Not Make Any Anti=Elec'
ton Predictions.
Believes That the People Will Support
Mckinley In the China Trouble.
Regardless of Politics.

Gov. John Lind arrived in the city
Monday and was guest at The
Saulpaugh until 10 80 a. IN. Tuesday,
when he took the Omaha train to Ma
della, going thence to Fairmont over
the new line He will visit the sum-
mer school at Fairmont in compliance
with promise made, and will return
to st. Paul by way of New Ulm.
Mr.. Lind was looking well. When
asked his views in regard to the out
come of the national election next fall
he said that the man who could make
prediction on that would be more OF
prophet than a philosopher. He thought
that some people who voted for McKin-
ley four years ago would vote fol-
Bryan this year. He did not think
that silver would be the leading issue,
but that questions growing out OF the
war and industrial movements would
take the lead.
In regard to Minnesota, Mr.. Limo
was very non-committal but gave II
out that he probably would not decline
a denomination. He said that no mat
ter what action the convention took,
he expected to take the stump in the
state, although he had made no poll
tical speeches thus far.
When asked what effect the trouble
in China would have in deciding mex
falls national election, Mr.. Lind re-
piled that he did not think that il
would have any effect one way or the
other. He thought that the entire PEG
pie would support the administration
of President Mckinley in the steps
that he might take to protect Ameri
can citizens in China and American
commere there. He did not think tha
these steps would result in war, but /.
war came 1t might have an effect il
the political campaign, as the Ameri
can people are essentially a peace low
ing nation and are averse to war.
Mr. Lind did not care to talk mucl
for publication. He said that he hat
not been around the state much, an(
did not venture a prediction as to thu
result on governor.
Speaking of the case of VIM. LEM
Mr.. Lind, who is one of the three
members of the pardoning board, sai(
that he had given careful considera
tion. 1t would come up at the October
meeting again.

FAIR PLAY WANTED.

Editor Free Press: Why did the
committee appointed by the board of
trade to hunt up the inequalities and
favoritism in assessing property in
different localities in the county re-
port the assessed valuations on the
property of only two of the commits
sioners-Graff and Borchert? 1t looks
a little strange. Will the committee
please make the report on each of the
other three commissioners and also re-
port the amount of their personal as
sessment? 1t certainly looks unfair to
report on two and say nothing about
the other three.

If the weather is fair for few weeks,
the threshing season will be short.
The yield will be great for the amount

make little money. While the chintz
bug has done little damage in places,
even that foe to the farmer has not
been as industrious as usual, or else
was not as numerous as feared, and
while some fields on the prairie are
light, the crop in general is greatly
ahead of calculations. The oat crop is
a practical failure, but the corn crop
promises to be very good. On the

A NEW CHARTER.
Aid. Meyer Favors Doing Away With the
Board of Public Works.

Aid Meyer believes that the city
charter should be amended and is
thinking of taking steps in the fall to
have Judge Cray appoint new char
ter commission. He believes that few
amendments to the charter would car
ry. He favors abolishing the board of
public works and having the work
done by the city engineer and the
street committee of the council, be-
lieving that such a plan would be
more economical as well as simple.
There are a few other changes that
could be made and the charter submit
ted,to a vote of the people with more
chance..of it's carrying than if it was
loaded down with amendments. One
reason..why the last revised charter did
not carry was the fear that it made the
city government more expensive to
conduct.
The general opinion seems to be now
that the foreign ministers at Picking
are alive. In fact, this view is prac-
tically demonstrated by letters of a
late date which have been received in
official quarters from some of the lega-
tioners giving some of the details of
affairs at Picking. The current opinion
in all official circles now is that the
legationers alive and are being held as
hostages by the Chinese authorities
who threaten to put them to death if
an advance is made by the allied forces
on Peking.

Is Of prime importance that a sufficient
water supply be obtained. The asso-
citation in all probability has nearly
enough pipe to make connections at
almost any point the main may be
run but the present pipe will have to be
dug up and laid in the new place.
