 The reception rendered, on last Monday night at Moose hall, by Geo. w: ChiIson to his friends of Valdez, was we'll attended and vastly enjoyed by every one present. Dancing began early and was carried on till late hour with short intermissiOn to rest and eat.
 If anyone, who remembers the Candy Kitchen when under the management of "Taffy John" would see the place now, as altered and improved by Miss Boas, they would fail to recognize it. Miss Boas deserves credit for the taste dis played in fitting up her Candy Kitchen. She also serves select quality of ice cream and soda water.
 The Home restaurant, under the management of Mrs. Allen, is very neat. home-like place where meals are served at any time be- tween the hours of in the morn- ing and 9 at night. Mrs. Allen excels in the Sunday dinner she serves and it is rapidly becoming one of the treats to look forward to. The ice cream and soda water also seems to attract attention, as that branch of the business is we'll pat rOnized.

The paper of the day was a review
of Prof. Clark's book on ''What
Shall we Think of Christianitys'
by c. Fl. Curtis. The association
decided to observe the same hours
of service this summer as last be-
ginning with the first Sunday in
April. It was decided to take a
religious census of the town and
also to observe in special meeting
the Passion week Of Our Lord in the
several churches and later to hold a
union religious service under
capable leadership. It was the
sentiment of the association that
there should be good enthusiastic
special religious service in which all
the denominations of the town
could engage. 1t was also decided
that e collection be taken in all the
churches in aid of the north
European famine sufferers. The
next meeting will be held Monday
April 9Th. Rev. Carl Anderson of
Luverue, MINI, will deliver the
paper of the day.

TO WEIGH MAILS.
Commencing March 4 All Mails
Carried on Railroads Will
Be Weighed.

The weighing of mail by the rail.
roads will be commenced Wednesday
March 4th.
Once every four years period OF
about thirty consecutive days js
devoted to weighing the mails as a
basis for contracts between the
government and the railroads. Each
mail car is equipped with platform
scale, and on the larger aud more
impo- tant runs. special men are put
on to do the weighing.
The weigher has to record the
weight Of all mail handled and the
number of miles carried, and fill out
four reports blanks for each trip he
makes. One of these reports he
retains, sending the other three to
the district superintendent.
The railroads carry the mail for
Uncle Sam under contract, receiving
for the service remuneration based
upon the volume of business. The
government furnishes the men to
handle the mail and the railroad
companies furnish the cars. While
the pay received by the railroads de-
pend upon the volume of business,
the rate is changed only once in
four years, the contracts being made
at a specified rate for that length of
time
Other methods of adjusting the
remuneration which the railroads
are to receive, have been tried, but
the present method Of weighing the
mail at the beginning of each four
year period and using the result as
the basis Of a four year contract is
the only particular scheme that has
been found satisfactory to all
parties concerned.

went to the jury Tuesday afternoon.
Some court cases were taken up
while waiting for the jury to return
verdict in order to have these men
to serve as jurors in the Clock case
if wanted.
In the case of Hilstrom vs. Albin-
son reported as being verdict for
Hillstrom, it is really final settle
ment Of their differences and the
situation is such that both may
claim they have won their case.
The case of Clock indicted for
holding up Martin Levine went to
the Jury about two O clock Wednes-
day afternoon and a verdict of not
guilty returned about nine o'clock
the same day. Defendant was dis
charged from cauiSs5fy.. y" ..z@ss
The sign case was continued until
next term of court. Arthur Bishop,
Max and Will Sufterin were brought
into court Thursday afternoon to
be sentenced. Attorney Parsons
pleaded for the leniency of the court
It had come to his knowledge that
one of the main witnesses before
the grand Jury had tried to get the
defendant to steal stock and bring
it to his place to be disposed of,
that Bishop, knew nothing about
the deal until the day before tho
hogs were stolen and advised the
others not to do it. It was done
under the impulse of the moment.
The Sufferin boys had been good
and kind to their mother. The
court told the boys that stealing was
the poorest business he knew of.
After a few futher remarks,
sentenced the Sufferin boys to re-
formatory at st. Cloud and Bishop
to Saltwater on the reformatory
plan.
The court was closed soon after
this.

Village Election. .
Will Be Held Tues
"A. day, March IL.

The annual village election occurs
two weeks from today, Macrh 18th.
Who are we going to have for village
officers ID the question frequently
asked Some partially answer their
own question by saying ':none of
the old officers will be elected, -
which in some degree looks strange
because Of the manner Of their
selection which was supposed would
enable the best men to be named.
Perhaps they were. The assertion
is yentuIed that none of tho present
council want another term. At the
time Of their election much was
expected Of them especially on
economical lines. As to improve
ments they were handicapped by q
large Indebtedness, this prevented
any expansive improvements of any
character. however some are under
way when completed will result in
economy. The Installing of electric
meters will prove q financial gain
to the village fortwo reasons. First
the consumer is either obliged to
pay rental or buy the meter. If
the first named plan is accepted,
the village realizes usurous profit,
il the latter plan is accepted the
consumer is out the use Of his money.
until he moves out of town or sells
his property and the village is tran
sacting business on the consumers
investment, go in either case the
village is the gamer, as the minimum
change for light service remains the
same. This plan being arbitrary
will show an increase in the
revenues in the light department,
but it required no skilled financier-
ing to bring about this result;merely
4 determination to increase receipts
without just consideration.
The present council have demon
strated their courage to put into
effect such measures as they deemed
best, and also enforce such measures
They have at all times enforced.
the law as they understand it, with
out fear or favor, and it is frequently
said, they done so when it effected
them as individuals but at the
same time they are considered by
all as being our best citizens. They
have been instrumental in laying
many fine side walks which add to
the pleasure comfort and safety of
the citizens, and nothing, represents
a town 80 advantageously as good
sidewalks, we'll kept.
As to a joint caucus being able
to select the best men, such a
meeting is not better qualified to
do go than if they were held separ-
ate, but, it virtually throws the
responsibility of the character of an
administration on the no license
and high license people together.
