Davis Bill Held Up.

The bill introduced by Representa-
oive Davis authorizing the construc-
lion of stationary bridges across the
Minnesota river struck another snag.
Col. Mackenzie, chief of engineers,
now interposes an objection. He states
shat only draw bridges should be con-
structed across the Minnesota. The
bill as it recently passed the house
was drawn in accordance with sugges-
lions made by the engineering branch
OF the war department, although Col.
Mackenzie did not himself indorse the
measure in writing. Representative
Stevens has received letter from the
department in which Col. Mackenzie
states that the bill should be amended
10 meet the wishes of the department.
A conference will be held by members
of the delegation to determine what
course shall be pursued.

GUNDERS IS IN HOT WATER
Ex.Auditor of Blue Earth County
Must Explain.
Accused of Irregularities in Con.
Quoting His Office.
Public Examiner Johnson Recon-.
mends an Investigation.

P. A. Gunders, formerly county
auditor of Blue Earth county and more
recently deputy under Public Ex-
aminer S. T. johnson, is in trouble.
He is accused of falsifying the records
of his Office and the county board has
ordered an investigation.
In going through the back files of
books and papers Edgar Weaver, the
present auditor, discovered irregu-
1arities in the issuance of warrants
during Mr.. Gunders' term. He con-
suited with the district judge and the
county attorney and recently when
Deputy Examiners Bezoer and Kend-
ricks checked up his Office he called
their attentionsto the matter.
It appears that erasures have been
made on some of the warrants and
names written in showing the purposes
for which the warrants were drawn. APP
parently, the original names and pur-
poses were erased and other names
and purposes, and in some cases other
endorsements, written in. This belief
is strengthened by the fact that the
stubs bearing the same number do not
show erasures and bear other names
and purposes. It is believed that the
warrants were originally duplicates of
the stubs and that they were subse-
quently altered. ....
. Why alterations were made is not
definitely known at this time, as Mr..
Gunders' attention has not yet been
called to the matter, nor has he been
given an opportunity to explain. From
appearances, the original warrants
were drawn on Mr.. Gunders' salary
account, but, it perhaps later coming
to his attention that that account was
overdrawn, the wording on the warrant
was changed so as to make it appear
that the money was drawn on the &C.
count of the deputy auditor Or other
official.
When the deputy examiners learned
of the state of affairs they sent for
Public Examiner Johnson and the
latter went to Mankato last Thursday
night. Upon his recommendation the
board of county commissioners on
Saturday adopted the following reso-
luton ordering an investigation: =

auditor of Blue Earth county, Mime.

AN EARLY RISER.

A strong, healthy, active consti-
tuition depends largely on the condi-
ton of the liver. The famous little
pills known as DeWitt's Little Early
Risers not only cleanse the system but
they strengthen the action of the liver
and rebuild the tissues supporting that
organ. Little Early Risers are easy
to act, they never grippe and yet they
are absolutely certain to produce re-
suits that are satisfactory in all cases.

VIM. Frank a Candidate.

William Frank, one of New Ulm's
Oldest and most respected citizens,
will come out for the Office of ci ty
treasurer at the April election. Mr..
Frank has requested the Review to
make formal announcement of his can
didacy and this paper takes pleasure
in so doing. Mr.. Frank is one of
Brown county's pioneers. He first
came to this city forty-two years ago
and, with the exception Of six years
spent on farm, has lived here con-
tinuously ever since. For this reason
he needs no introduction to the people
but will be able to go before the vot-
ers strictly on his merits. Mr.. Frank
is not without experience as an Office
holder, he having served eight years
in the city council.

.sOMERVILLE TO NATIONAL
Politicians Plan to Send Senator
to Chicago.
His Name Being Proposed For the
State Delegation.
Aspirants For County Offices Be.
gin to Manifest Interest.

Now that the call for the county con-
vention has been issued, it is proposed
to send delegation to ST. Paul which
shall request that Senator George W.
Somerville of Sleepy Eye, be named
as a member of the Minnesota delega-
ton to the republican national conven-
ton. Brown county has never been
honored by having one of her sons
chosen as a national delegate and it
would seem that she is milne for the
distinction.
Politicians in all parts of the county
favor sending Senator Somerville to
the Chicago gathering and his selec-
ton will prove very popular in this
part of the state. The father of the
famous corporation law is we'll quail
fed to serve in the cap lcity mentioned
and it will be found that he has ma ny
supporters in the delegation from the
southern counties.

The writers laugh and think its a
good joke when some of the country
newspapers say: "Hiram Higbee has

but. of course, it is the thing when
they say: ''Algie Van Poochsnstein

Oh. that's great. That bull pup
would bring about 20 cents in the dog
