A New York dispatch says: Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte Cociancich, a
liquor dealer in Brooklyn, an Ameri-

the Servian crown by friends of the
assassinated King Alexander. Co.

better right to be King of Servia than
he, but he says that he has no inten-

Right You Are.

A newspaper man cannot be every
where and see everything and some
times people wonder why mention is
not made of certain matters of which
there was no knowledge of the affair
in newspaperdom: and people take it
as kind Of slight and will inform
you of the event when it is too late to
be news. A news item of any kind is
always acceptable at a newspaper
office and will be thankfully accepted,
but do not wait until the paper is out
before you give the information, as
that savors too much of the hotel clerk
who was charged with calling a guest
and forgot it, and when he did call
him said: 'Here, get up quick; your
train has been gone fifteen minutes. y

Tax Assessment Books.

State Auditor Iverson has sent out
a circular letter to county aditors
notifying them that for the present
no change in tax assessment books OF
assessment districts will be ordered.
For over a year there has been agita.
ton in favor of adopting the Renville
county plan of assessments by schoo:
districts instead of by townships. Mr.
lverson and Public Examiner S. T.
johnson have been inclined to favor
it, but a general discussion has de.
veloped so many differences of opinion
that it is thought wise to make nc
change at present.

Justice and Cold Weather.

Sometimes there is found a Judge on
the bench who hears the voice of a
higher law and is deaf, for the time
being, to the language of the statutes.
Judge Van Wart of Brooklyn is such
member of the judiciary.
During the recent cold spell he
warned landlords and agents that they
need not apply to him for warrants
for dispossession, as he would abso-
lutely refuse to grant any while the
weather was so cold that persons
turned out of their homes might suffer
terribly. He had made personal in
vestigation in several cases, and he
was much impressed with the distress
that he discovered.
It is not often that such view of a
Judges duty could be justified, but
who is ready to take issue with Judge
Van Wart on this point?- Duluth
