VACCINATIONS
Chas. S. Mason Unjusny Censured.

To the Citizens of Washington Couu-
ty:
1t has been reported to me that | am
being unduly censured for the passage
of an an ordinance by the County
Court at its April term. 1904, requiring
compulsory vaccination in SAID county,
which ordinance has been published,
both in pamphlet form and in the pa
pers of the county.
In juftice to myself, and to show you
that this criticism is unwarranted,
permit me to say: That the ordinance
referred to was passed by the County
Court during my absence, and without
any knowledge or information on my
part that such an order was prepared
or would be presented to the court for
its action.
The first information | ever had of
such an order was when it was passed
to me as Clerk of the Court, to be en-
tered of record. as the action Of the
Court.
For the purpose of informing the
people Of the county of this action of
the court, I certified the order from
my record, for publication, as was my
official duty, and this was the extent
of my connection, in any way, with
said ordinance.
Respectfully,
CHAs. s. MASON,
County Court Clerk.

We can understand why Roosevelt is
so DESTROYS about adiourning the pres.
ent session of congress. The minority
through John Sharp Williams, Cochran
and others, have battered down the
doors of the Republican citadel, and
the administration is fearful lest they
storm it and rout them before the ad-
journment comes. They dread further
agitation of their misdeeds, and they
do not court further exposure. AL

pied by Gen. John T Richards and as
sisted by Smith Byrd has been turned
over to the governor and VIM. G,

ed very satisfactorily and the board Of

Assistant Inspector General of all the
homes and do away with the local con-
struction department. W. Ct. Mathes

'tCARLlSLE" MAY GET OUT
HIS BROTHER is EXPECTED IN
SOME QUARTERS TO PUT UP
THE NECESSARY $500.

II understand the proposition is to
remove him from the state. If he is
guilty you will never see him again, in
all probability not with $500 cash
ball. said Judge Brooks yester-
day afternoon in denying the appli-
cation for Attorney Frank Larrabee
for a reduction Of Harry Silberberg's
bail from $4,000 to $500.
Mr.. Larrabee made the formal
application, stating that Aaron Sill
berberg, brother of the prisoner,
was a reputable business man of Den
yer who could furnish $500 cash bail,
but no more. If the prisoner were
allowed to go to Colorado for a few
months he would be well enough to
come back and stand trial.
IT do not feel like reducing the bail
at this time,'' said Judge Brooks.
In Spite Of the declaration by Mr..
Larrabee that Aaron Silberberg
brother of the prisoner, could furnish
only $500 bail, it is believed by those
closely watching the case that $500
bail will soon be furnished and Gar
Isle" taken out of the state. Judge
Brooks ruling means that 'Carlisle's
friends must either raise the $500
or let him stay in Jail. Because of his
condition the latter is regarded as q
dangerous alternative, and it is be-
lieveds the $500 will soon be forth
coming.

BIGAMY CHARGE
MADE BY A WIFE
SAMUEL HARGRAVE ACCUSED OF
PLURAL MATRIMONY.
Viva @. Hazards Complaint Says He
Wife, Then Deserted Her and Mar
ried Third Time-He Asserts In
nOcence.

Dashing Samuel Hargrave, six feet
tall and a perfect Gibson model, was
this morning arraigned in police court
on a charge of bigamy. He was ar
rested on a complaint sworn out by
Viva G. Hazard, whom he is said to
have married in Minneapolis about
two years ago and Is accused Of de-
serting soon after. He waived exam
ination when Assistant County AttOr-
ney Writ Wilson informed the court
that the case would come before the
grand jury this afternoon. Bail was
fixed at $1,000. ;.:.s ~. i
Since Hargrave or, Samuel G. Haz-
gard, as he was known to her, left her
destitute in Minneapolis, the complain
ing witness has looked up his record
and now charges that he has married
two women beside herself. The COM
plant alleges that his first wife lives
in New York and further charges that
he is now living with the third wife,
formerly Miss Linda Burfie1d. Miss
Hazard says she does not know the
name Of the woman living in New
York.
Hargrave had nothing to say except
that he would answer all questions at
his trial if indicted. He had retained
Frank M. Nye. His acquaintance in
Minneapolis is extensive especially
among business men with whom he
had dealings as an insurance agent.

WARM HERE, COLD IN EAST
New York ShIvers with Mercury Almost
at Its Lowest.

All the cold weather this morning was
reported from Boston and New York. The
mercury had risen twelve degrees at Min
neapolis to the same number Of degrees
above Zero but the record at Boston was
2 below zero and at New York 4 below.
Mild as this appears in local eyes. 4
below zero is only two degrees higher
than the lowest temperature registered
at New York within the last thirty years
Boston boasts a temperature minimum Of
IS degrees below since official records
were taken, and a Vermont station some
distance north Of Boston, glories in the
greatest cold" Of 80 below.
Thus New England which used to shiv-
err before the war; at the name Of Min
nesota, has itself suffered from winter
temperature but nine degrees warmer
than the most severe cold on record In
st. Paul or Minneapolis. For within the
last thirty three years the very lowest
twin city temperature officially estab-
lished was Al degrees, and that was
reached but once.

the Motion Under Amusement.

ing, in an appeal for a change of
venue to Roseau county in the case of
Thomas Jones and Thomas Z. Laugh
lin, to collect $10,5OO for railroad ties
furnished to the Minnesota & Manito-
ba Railway company.
In a way the case is one Of inter-
national interest. The Minnesota &
Manitoba company in building it's Sc
miles Of road in northern Minnesota
contracted with Mackenzie, Mann &
Co., Of Winnipeg for 1876, 900 railroad
Ties. IhlS company sublet to
Robert Rogers, now a member of the
Manitoba cabinet. and he in turn sub
let to. contractors whose affairs be-
came involved.
Liens and chattel mortgages were
placed on the ties lying at Warroad
and when the railway company's en-
gineer attempted to remove them he
was arrested. This was in October,
1900, and altho the ties have now been
lying on the roadbed under the rails
for three years the suit for their value
$10,50Q, Is still going on.

Unless Mayor J. c. Haynes takes

keepers that they will gladly move.
It is understood that all the pro-

with any orders as soon as they come.
The exception happens to have the
