Hayfeld, Transcripts: Preparations
for a settlement of the affairs of the
Sergeant bank, wrecked by Cashier
Fred Blanch this spring, are progress
sing rapidly and the stockholders hope
to effect settlement with the creditors
OF that institution upon a basis of be-
tween so and 80 per cent.
Minneapolis Tribune: Some news
papers cultivate the fiction of their
powerful political Influence as they cul-
tivate fctions about their circulation
| and the value of their advertising.
What the public wants from newspapers
is truthful and impartial information
| about candidates for office. 1t wants
little advise and will have no dictation.
Lime Springs Sun: Misses Nina
Baldwin, of Spring Valley, Florence
Cross and Miss Thompson, of Austin,
| are the guests of Miss Florence Nash.
Miss Cross is the daughter of George
Cross, the genial conductor who takes

Spring Valley Mercury: We are re-
liably informed that Arne Anderson,
living three miles from Grand Meadow,
sold to the International Harvester
ComI anv one and one half acres of flax
from which he realized $H3.67. The
acre and half weighed 1850 pounds,
and the price per ton $l130. It seems
to us the above is far the best way to
market flax.
Candy News: The Austin TRAN
SCRIPT agrees with the breckenridge
Telegram that the "Dunn Jackasses"
are devoid of horse sense, and so do
about $50 other Republican papers in
the state. Oh, yes, 1900 majority for
Dunn is we'll enough for fools to talk
about, but there are thousands of re-
pubiicans who would as soon believe
he will be that many behind the RoOse-
velt electoral ticket.
Preston Republican: "Saw wood
and say nothing" is very good max
i'm at all times but especially in these
times. Nobody need let politics worry
them except the professional politi-
clans. There is plenty of work to do
gathering the great crops which bounti-
ful nature has provided; preparing for
the coming winter and helping those
who need help. Political parties do
not make the weather. cause spots on
the sun or control the markets.
Decorah Republican: Our school
superintendent for four years past,
Prof. E. L. Cotfeen, and family, have
begun residence in Mason City that,
we sincerely hope, will be as congenial.
successful and advantageous as their
Dec0rah associations have proven. That
they will be missed in the social circles
of which they have made themselves a
helpful part, goes without saying.
They carry away wealth of friendship
and good fellowship that is unmarried
by single cloud or discord.
| Midway News: Next to lieutenant
governor and speaker of the house the
two most important positions connect
ed with the legislature are secretary of
the senate and chief clerk of the house.
1t may not be too early to suggest that
G. S. Pease of Anoka, and g. D. Belden
of Austin, would prove not Only COM
petent but reliable men to look after
our legislative records. There would
i be no slipping of words with them.
