Tn Japan people conduct their busi- ness with wonderful ce1erity and with- out waste of words. Even sale by auction is very quiet affair.

accommodate the children of the farm
ers living in that section. The meet
ing was held in the north school house
and it was practically the unanimous
wish of the people of the district that
another school should be provided.
The bonds we're voted and an appli-
cation has already been made to the
State for the loan to construct the
school house which will be built on
section twenty-s six in the town OF
Bogus Brook. The meeting also
voted to secure suitable place for
use as a school until the new building
can be completed, and there is some
talk of fixing up the August Kuhrke
house for use temporary use and a
four-months term Of school will begin
just as soon as quarters can be pro-

Mrs. Conrad Bender who live a few
miles, south of town, died last Satur-
day of scarlet fever. When the child
was taken i'll the parents did not send

the nature of the disease they had the
house quarantined at once and meas

Last Monday night County ATTORNEY
Ross took some law books under his
arm and boarded the train for Milaca

tour men had been arraigned for yio-
latlng the game laws. They were
Marion and Isaac Brumbaueh of
Ronneby and party by the name OF
Freel and another by the name of
Perry. from Soule's Siding. The men.
were found up above Page wi
partridges' in their possession and
they were arrested and brought before
Justice Norcross who sent for the
county attorney. It is said that the
men had been taking some hay from a
farmer in the vicinity of where they
had been getting the game and they
refused to pay for the hay, whereupon
the farmer saw that they were ar
rested for having the game. The com
plant charged them with having killed
the game, but as this would be a hard
matter to prove the county attorney
nad another complaint made out
charging them with having in their
possession and charge the game out of
season. AS the minimum fine is $40
for each bird the case was really be-
yond the courts jurisdiction, and the
men who waived examination were all
pound over under bonds of $500.

my health is far better than have
anyareason to expect, " smilingly said
Judge =. L. Baxter in the course of
conversation at the court house this
morning, and I shall be candidate
to succeed myself on the district bench
.nextsfall.''
Judge Baxter is in the city to hold
a special term of the district court and
he was cordially greeted by the attor-
neys who filed the space before the
bar and not a few Of the laymen shook
hands with the venerable jurist and
congratulated him on his youthful ap-
pearance considering his age. To
each one the Judge had a happy re-
.sponse.
u. And then it was that he made the
ann ouncement indicated above.
Ihad concluded some months ago
that in view of my years and my long
service on the bench that would make
a formal announcement during the
winter or spring months that I did not
seek a reelection, but my general
health iszso improved and [ feel. so
.:y0lhg that T have concluded TO ask
the suffrage of the people of this great
judicial district for another term of
Office. Then too the scheme to side
track me-and which evidently died a.
bornin aroused my fighting blood
and [ shall not withdraw in the face
of any possible opposition. During
the past few weeks have been pretty
busy, but have tired out the attorneys
in several court rooms and feel like
boy upon rising in the morning.
while everybody in the district
knows my politics I make no
apology for my position shall be
non-partisan candidate for the judge
ship. For many years in this district
the judgeship has been on a non-par-
tisan basis, and it has seemed to be
very satisfactory alike to the profess
sion and the laity. So far as known
I shall have no opposition for a re-
lection but shall appreciate any efforts
made in behalf by my friends through
out the district. -
Judge Baxter's many friends
throughout the district will be pleased
with this, the first authentic announce
ment, that he will be cadidate to sue
ceed himself. The judiciary in this
district has been kept out of political
controversy and this course meets the
approval OF the best men OF both par
ties. Judge Baxter's services on the
bench have met with general sanction
on the part of the people, and so far
as known there will be no opposition
to his re-election.-St. Cloud Journal

DECLARES HER TAXES
ARE PLACED TOO LOW
New York Woman Astonishes
Tax Department When She
Makes Complaint.

NEW YORK, March SO.-All records of
the tax department. in Greater New York
have been broken by a woman. whose
name was not made public. She accom-
plished this by appearing before Commits
sioner Brady and protesting that her as
sessment was too small. The official, after
recovering from his astonishment, raised
the amount from $4,000 to $4,000. making
a difference of 5000 in the levy For sew
eral days the commissioners have been
busy listening 10 complaints of persons
who reside elsewhere and wished to swear
off the tax here on personal property.
Therefore. the officials were completely
taken aback by the woman's unique re-
quest. and endeavOred to secure her photo
graph for the department records.
