ADDITIONAL BONDS.
Supervisors Have Power to Com
duct Business of Towns. i

On account OF the different towns
having Eoted to issue bonds for road and
bridge purposes the bonds OF the several
town treasurers have been found made
quate to cover the additional money.
The question whether the boards Of
supervisors have tho right to demand
additional bonds has been raised. At
tho beginning Of the year the suporyis.
ors fix the bonds at what they suppose
will :bo twice the amount of money on
hand :atsany one time. 1T 10 not reason
able to suppose that they would or could
ask at that time enough bonds to cover
any possible action OF the people. The
several town boards will no doubt zee
that the money 10 amply secured.
The relieving letter from the Attor-
4nsy General is sef-explanatory and is
pertinent at this time. 81

Mr.. g. H. CARHARr,
Town Clerk,
Grand Marais, MINI.
DEAR SlR:
ION state in your favor OF the 18th
inst. that the town board OF supervisors
OF tho town Of Grand Marais at meet
ing held on the 2lst day OF March fixed
the bond OF the town treasurer at 81 goo;
that by reason of the bond issue in the
amount of $4,000 for road and bridge
purposes it 10 now considered desirable
TO call for additional security from such
town treasurer. You asksif the board Of
supervisors may lawfully require such
additional security from such town off,
eial.
Tho statute provides that the bond
mhall be given IN double the probable
amount of money TO be received by him,
which amount shall be determined by
the board OF supervisors. The board OF
supervisors, in my Judgment, are author
lied to demand of the town treasurer adj
ditional security Of any time they see ct,
Yours very truly,

Conditions OF speed on Raalroaas. B
Railroading has already been pro-

adopted he must be called upon to

The rail joint must either be abol-
ished altoge either, making the lines com
tinuous by welded joints, as is done.
in the best street railway practice, or
mechanical joint better than any
yet made must be invented. But more.
Important than all will be methods OF
preventing collisions while dispatc-
ing trains at short intervals. Since
electricity will be the motive power,
il is possible that this may be SO APP
piled as to make it impossible for two
trains to be run into each other even
by intent.

NEW HAT FRoM PORTO RICO.


One Of the things our new island pos
sessions have brought us is new
kind Of summer hat. It comes from
Porto Rico and is made Of woven grass,
says the New York Sun.
The color is . bright tan, the shape
OF the Fedora, and the cost liz small.
The hat has not become very popular
yet. but few are seen in New York
streets and many more In the sub
urbs.
In its simplest form the hat has 8
wide band Of the same material and
the same color wound around the
crown. but some of the bands are dyed
red and blue, and the hats ornamented
with these are very gay indeed. "A
variation from the usual form is q
sombrero ahape with an extra wide
brirn. s#ss 81 Hs
The advantages Of the hats are
lightness and GOODNESS. The slightest
breeze penetrates the woven. grass.
The principal disadvantage is that If
once wet they shrink. and to counter
act this az far as possible each hat
contains q strong leather sweatband.

Killed by Lightning.

The shocking news of the death
of young Aaron Glover by lightning
Tuesday afternoon created intense
excitement in the neighborhood OF
Crystal. Jeptha Glover, his father,
lives on the Troy and Hickman
road, near that place. Tuesday af-
ternoon he and Aaron, about five or
six years of age, we're out where
Mr.. Glover was at work. A storm
was brewing and the father told
Aaron to return to the house. He
was joined by couple of compan-
ions when he reached home. 1t
seems the boy had either just reach
ed the gate, or had been in the
house and was coming out to meet
his companions, when an explosion,
caused by the lightning playing
upon clothes wire stretched from
tree to a nail in fence board
near the gatepost, killed him in
stantly. He was picked up by the
youthful comrades and taken into
the house. The father and mother
reached home about the same time
Just after the accident. Mrs. Glover
had been visiting a sick neighbor,
Mrs. Hutchinson.
1t is useless to try to tell of the
anguish of the parents upon be-
holding the lifeless body of the lit
tie fellow, few moments before in
the bloom of health, the only son
and child, upon whom was lavished
the wealth of all their affection, the
life of the household.
1t is the saddest accident which
has occurred in that community i'll
many day, gloom hanging like
a pail upon the ueighbors in their
sorrow and sympathy for the
grief-stricken family.
Young Aaron was a grandson Of
DR.. c. p. Glover, and there are
host of relatives to grieve over this
sudden and distressing death. The
remains were inferred at the Gem
etery at Antioch on Wednesday

Some Of the Teachers.

We are glad our Board of Educa'
ton selected a man so ably quail
fed for his position as is Prof. p
H. Eley, of Harvard University,
who has just been elected principal
of our Public High School.
Prof. Eley was born in Franklin
County, Tenn, 20 years ago. Hav-
ing entered the University of North
Carolina when a mere lad, he con.
tinued his studies, graduating with
high honors.
After teaching five or six years
he determined to take post grad
uate course at Harvard University.
While attending the University
Prof. Eley, besides winning other
honors, won a gold medal in an
interstate collegiate oratorical
contest.
Prof. Eley will be instructor in
languages and mathematics IN our
High School, and it Is safe to say,
that when our boys and girls have
completed the full High School
course Of study. under his tutelage,
they will be prepared to enter any
college or university in the coun-
try.

ABOUT TELEPHoNE sERvIcE.

In an account of the proceedings
of the Board of Mayor and Alder
men last week respecting the Indie
pendent Telephone Company we
simply undertook TO report the
statement of Mr., Wright, repre-
senting that company before the
Board.
If we should venture an opinion
it would be to say that a new tele-
phone exchange, operated by the
Independent Company with list
Of subscribers, would require the
necessity of two phones in some Of
the business houses and thereby
double the cost to some of tele
phone service. They would have
to be connected with the subscrib-
ers to both the Independent and
Bell lines in the city in order to
reach all their customers, and
hence would entail hardship by
the introduction of the new com
pany.
This would be true unless the
new company should absorb, by
means of superior system, all the
subscribers of the company now
operating here, and that seems
hardly probable, for theAmerican
and Bell companies have as fine
instruments as are in use when
they find it necessary to keep them
in perfect repair. We have little
cause to enter complaint against
MIR. Temples management. He is
a busy man, and while there have
been some complaints lodged
against company, we feel sure he
is not responsible for some of the
mistakes it is claimed they have
made in not giving us as good serv-
ice as they do in the cities and
larger towns.
We hope Mr.. Temple will con.
tinue TO improve the Bell service,
SO as to preclude the possibility Of
any other company operating here
