THE ELECTION.

The big thing comes off next
Tuesday. In Cherokee county the
Democratic will probably win out
because they have made air tight
and harmonious fusion with the
Populists, and when this is done
the Republicans have little show
for their white alley. The Demo.
Gratis certainly have cause to feel
proud of their candidates. They
are all representative people, who
stand well in their respective COM
munities, and nothing can be said
against them. 1t may be safely said
that the Democrats will win in
Cherokee county.
In the state we look for the Re-
publicans to win except on state
treasurer. Tom Kelley SCENE to be
big load for the Republicans TO
carry.
The Third congressional district
is a puzzel, and may prove a sur
prise If the oil men all work for the
success of the Democratic ticket,
and we have heard that 10 what
they intend to do.
Nationally We have nothing to
say. Both sides make extravagant
claims.
The amendment providing for the
election of state printer should be
beaten. Both parties agree on this.
The state printing should be let by
contract. Vote against the amend
ment.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE TREAS
URY.

II has been customary for the
county treasurer to file his annual
report not later than the 4th Mon
day in October. The report for this
year has not yet been made known.
What is the natter Is the treasurer
holding back the report purposly,
until after the electionf Ever since
Mitchell, of the Columbus Ad,o-
cate, began assaulting the charac'
ter of Frank Hoover, the ex-county
treasurer, Franklin Elliott, the pres
ent treasurer, has stood quietly by
and let the work of the vilification
go on, when he has every reason to
believe Mr.. Hoover strictly honest
man. He has heard Mitchell's eff
fort to show that Mr.. Hoover is
defaulter, to the amount of seventy
thousand dollars, while Mr.. Elliott
knows that, after five years in the
Office Mr.. Hoover, on final settle.
ment, wac found to owe the county
one dollar and thirty-eight cents.
Let us see something about the
running behind of the general fund
of the county. When Mr.. Hoover
succeeded Andrew Shearer, in 1893,
the general fund was behind about
$4,000. Hoover had the Office five
years, and at the end of that time
the general fund was behind about
$4,000, the increase in the five years
being about $4,000, or a little more
than 5000 year. While the report
is not yet made known, as to the
amount the fund 10 now behind, 1t
has been learned that it is not less
than $4,000. Taking $4,000 from
THE leaves $4,000 that the fund has
run behind in one year of Elliott's
term of Office. Mitchell holds Mr..
Hoover responsible for the fund be-
ing behind when he delivered the
ONCE to Elliott. If that 10 right,
then Elliott 10 responsible for the
fact that the fund ran behind $4,000
In the first year of his term. II this
is q political matter, which party lie
to blame the mcref
Then there 10 another matter.
Under the treasurers who served
before Elliott, whether they were
Republicans or Democrats, when
there were idle monies In other
funds, a transfer was often temper
ariiy made, to remain until the gen.
eral fund was. replenished. This
saved the county good deal of in.
terest, probably as much az 500 a
month. While II was not in strict
conformity to the law, the county
treasurers have done this right
along. Harry Sadler, a Republican,
says he did it. Watts, a Populist,
did it. 1t was done by all of them,
to save the county from paying in
terest. 1t 10 said that Elliott 10 not
doing IL. He endorses the war
rants; the banks take them, and the
county pays interest on them at the
rate of six per cent.

Naturally Governor Bailey's
statement, given out az officially as
the chief executive of the state,
created a sensation. II showed
conclusively that the investigation
had been started. not as a political
move for revenge, but at the re-
quest of both Kelly's friends and
his enemies. Most men are honest
and those who are not hate to see
dishonest men holding positions
of trust. In the language of Joseph
Folk, the CRATER il neither demo
crst nor a republican; he fastens
himself usually to the party in
power, because il is through the
majority that he succeeds. All
over the state the republicans pa
pers are condemniug the official
record of Tom Kelly in terms that
conuot be misunderstood. They
are demanding his. defeat. But IL
does not and really should not stop
with Kelly. The "house of Burton"
should be weeded out.

Schools I ook Up !:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The fall term Of school has
begun, and the bright scholar is
again in evidence. Called upon
for an essay upon some well
known city, responded as follows:
Minneapolis is composed mostly
of SWedes and flour mills. She
also has some Norwegians, but
the folks there are mostly
SWedes. The chief industry Of
the city is printing newspapers
with the largest circulations in
the world and throwing rocks
at ST. Paul. When any great
thing comes this way, Mime
apolis must have it first, then st.
Paul can have what's left. The
other day it got a cyclone first,
then blew it down to st. Paul.
The Mississippi river goes
through Minneapolis first and
carries Minneapolis typhoid
fever germs and other disease
bacteria and dumps them into
st. Paul, then sympathizes with
the poor old town because she
doesn't grow. Minneapolis
boasts Of her st. Anthony Falls
and pretty girls, but her Falls
are artificial and Pa thinks The
beauty of her girls are likewise.
Minneapolis isn't very great
shucks, anyway, and will never
I be much bigger than Grand
Forks.

talking excitedly in Spanish. Brown
WAS half asleep in the bow. when sud

we listened, almost under the stern of

out of the water, as She was light.
We must have held on there for

there came a pause. / saw Browns

out of his pocket; then he silently mo-
toned Emilio to shove off, which he
did quietly enough. with the revolver
covering the nape of his neck. Brown
wouldn't say a word until we We're
alongside. Then he motioned to Emil
lilo to jump aboard, followed him, n
waved him down the fore companions
way With his revolver, and then slid
the hatch and bolted it behind him.
This done, he walked to the after com

who came up on deck IN his pajamas.
What's up?" he asked, in the quick,
aggressive way he had. l don't ever
remember having seen Boles sleepy.
See that little brig over there by
