REPORT OF GRAND JURY
COURT HOUSE AND COUNT POOR FARM
A Plain Statement of Facts rom Repre-
sentativeS of the COuaty sworn to
Protect Public interests.

To the Public OF yinneshiek
County,
We, the Grand Jury OF 1yinnesheik
County for the year 1902 tael that it
is our duty to lay before The public
the great danger which co 'ronts them
in the absolute lack Of protection
which is afforded the cOu ty records
by the present inadeq ,te court
house. 1t is apparent is that If
misfortune were TO occur , us situat-
ed as we are at present, th consequent
ces would be irreparable nd many
man who deems his titles secure
would find himself involved in liti-
CATION that would not b. possible were
he afforded protection he is really en-
titled. 1t is fact that the old court
house, built half century ago does
not fulfill its present mission. Some
thing must be done, either oney
must be expended in enlarging the
present structure or new court house
must be built. We see. no economy in
patching up the present structure,
but be that as it may, but one thing
or the other should certainly be
done, and that soon. We will add
that apart from the danger to records
is the other fact that for the transac-
tion of business of such county as
Winnesheik the building we now
have is entirely too small. and we
earnestly recommend that the propo-
sition offered to the electors at the
coming election be supported by every
person having at heart his own well
fare, that of his family and the
county as whole.

Sudden Death in Burr Oak.

Mr.. Alfred Perry, one of the we'll
known residents of Burr Oak town
ship, passed away early Friday morn
ing, without a moments warning
He was at Burr Oak during the day
in usual health, and that night retired
as usual. During the night his wife
heard him make strange noise, and
rising, attempted to waken him, but
found him dying, and he passed away
without waking, presumably from
neuralgia of the heart. Mr.. Perry
had resided in Burr Oak township for
many years and was man highly es-
teemed by everyone for his upright
ness and manly character. The
funeral services were held from the
home Sunday noon, Rev. Dick officlat-
ing, with interment in the cemetery
at Hesper, the Masonic lodge of Burr
Oak, assisted by delegation from the
lodge of this city, conducting the
ceremonies at the grave.

SUBSCRIPTION LAWS
Seven Laws Compiled From Decisions
Rendered By United States Court

Many readers have from time to time
requested information concerning
newspaper subscription laws. Seven
have been compiled from decisions of
the United States Court, and embody
points that bother many newspaper
publishers. The seven are:
l. Subscribers who dc not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their sub
scriptions.
2. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals the pub
Usher may continue to send them un-
til all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the post
Office to which they are directed they
are responsible. until they have settled
their bills and ordered them discon-
tinued.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former address they are held respon-
sible.
8. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
otnue or removing and having them
uncalled for is prima facie evidence
of intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue taking it, otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send it and the
subscriber be responsible until an
express notice, with payment of all
arrearages, is sent to the publisher.
Z. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
any one for fraud who takes a paper
and refuses to pay for it. Under the
law the man who allows his subscrip-
tion to run along for some time un-
paid and then orders the postmaster to
ask it refused" and have a postal
card sent notifying the publishers,
leaves himself liable to arrest and
fine, the same as for theft.
1t will be seen that many disputed
points are disposed of by these deci-
sions, which are certainly only just.
If subscriber doesn't want to renew
his subscription let him notify the
publisher. The second decision given
here will be surprise to some of the
publishers, who believe they must stop
a delinquent subscribers paper if Or
dered to. The delinquent must pay
up if he desires to discontinue his sub
scription. Otherwise he is held re-
sponsible for as long as the paper is
being sent to him, whether he takes it
from the. post-office or not. .-Newspa-
perdom.

An observing farmer says: "There
are some curious things about corn
and one is, where do the red and
speckled ears come from when you
don't plant any but white corn? And
another is why don't we find an ear
with AN odd number of rows on it?
You can find a four leaf clover, but
you never found an odd row on an
ear of corn yet 1t is always fourteen,
sixteen and twenty or some other
even number, and we would like to
know about its mathematics and what
objection nature has in these instan-
ces to odd numbers.
