A RUMOR
AT WHICH LOCAL PACKET OWN.
ERS LAUGH.

1t is being published in some Of the
SMALL dailies around hero that the
Fowler packet line contemplates start
ing three boats in the Evansville and
st. Louis trade, but local officials laugh
at such On absurd rumor. The only
foundation for it, apparently, is that
during.the low water season. this sum
mer, when the boats have to be taken
out of the Evansville trade, it is pos.
sible that the two Evansville and the
Cairo boats will then run excursions
to st. Louis for the worlds fair. Even
this is.not certain, as the river may
not get so low the Evansville boats
will have to be stopped.

Louisville, Ky, March 7.-Disclos-

the George G. Fetter Printing oompa-
ny, of Louisville.
Among the items on the bills to the
State, which the committee investi.
gated was one for s2s, 1854 for school
registers, which, according to the es-
Inmates of the witnesses examined,
could have been furnished at reason
able profit for $500. Another bill
for $4,000 for books furnished the
State could have been about one tenth
rs much aud still have left a profit, &C
cording to the experts examined.
Other items where similar big profits
were made. were uncovered and the
committee decided to continue its in
yestigations until the whole matter OF
the State printing had been carefully
looked into.
One of the largest items considered,
and one which surprised the commit.
tee greatly, was the charge of s2S, 264
for school registers. The work wa;

which has the state contract for SEQ
ond class work. 1t has been claimed
that the registers belonged to first
GLASS printing and should have beer
furnished by the George G.. Fettei
Printing company, which has the con
tract for the first class work.
The school registers, it was said
should have been bound in half leath
or, with board covers, and high stan
dard is set for them. Instead of com
ing up to the requirements, it is sale
that the samples shown the witnesses
by the committee were inferior in ev
cry respect, and bound in the cheapes
kind of paper. The Globe Printing
Company charged 81. 40 for each book
and the witnesses testified that thu
books could have been furnished at .
profit for ten cents.
Mr.. Davidson also testified that hi
company made some maps for the Fet
ter company, which the latter compa
ny furnish ed to the state. The Cou
rier-Journal Job Printing compan,
charged the Fetter company 81, 400 70

pany is alleged to have collected NOR

also investigated. The books wer
furnished by the Fetter company. TIL,
witnesses examined yesterday said thu
books were worth nothing like wha
was charged end could have been made
easily for fifteen cents apiece, where
as 81. 10 was charged.
The blank books used for inscribine
county records were also brought &c
the attention of the committee. The
witnesses said that they were of poor
quality and fell far below the specif-
cations.

The Fergus Falls team was Bert
Boon, Harry Jacobson, and Caleb
Hogan. The negative side was
opened by Bert Boon, a young man
small of stature, but full of bust
ness and full of argument for his
side. The others followed IN their
order. We have not space for the
argument. The heavy men were
the closing debaters, Clyde Reich
ert and Caleb Hogan. Each side
was in possession of statistics, let
tiers, etc., to prove its points, and
neither side has any cause to be
ashamed of it's efforts. They are a
credit to their schools and to their
towns. The rebuttal speeches of
five minutes each bristled with
points picked from the opposition
and each side dashed the other with
earnestness and at times with mild
sarcasm. At the close of the de-
bate the question passed into the
hands of the judges A. r. David
son, Little Falls; Supt.. j. a. Grads
ton, st. Cloud; and w. w. James
of Breckenridge. The band favored
the audience with an unusually fine
selection introducing a song that
showed that the ''boys" possessed
vocal talent as well as instrumental.
The audience showed it's apprecia-
ton by heightened applauses.
Mayor Dubois then came forward
and announced that the judges had
rendered decision in favor of Fer
gus Falls. The hall echoed with
cheers. The winners crossed the
stage to shake hands with the de-
feated team, and good feeling pre-
vailed. The audience departed
feeling that rich treat had been
their portion. The proceeds of
the evening Melted the Sank Cen
tire athletic association $50, which
starts them this year with a snug
sum in the treasury.

TAXATION

The question of taxation is con
sidered by many as one OF the difficult
problems to solve. Good assessment
depends almost entirely upon the abil-
ity and fearles sness Of the assessor.
Every person is required by law to
make ous and deliver to the assessor a
statement of his personal property and
to verify it by his oath. The assessor
is equired to fix the value of the
property contained in such statement
at it's true and full value in money.
The local assessor in country towns
is supposed to see all of the property,
both real and personal, and, if he is at
all observing, knows who among his
farmer friends has money loaned out.
AS q general proposition the farm
ers' property does not escape taxation.
The assessor often discriminates be-
tween persons and when that is done
it is impossible for board OF review
other than the town board to correct
VIC iuc4uoIittcos duu ~ 10 hOb OieOh
that the board of supervisors will take
up personal assessment to any great
extent. Under our present system of
taxation the local assessor is the only
person who can get sll the property
listed on the assessors books. No
state has better taxation laws than
Minnesota if faithfully executed.
The only way to arrive at equal and
just taxation is by having all property
taxed at it's full value in money. Let
the town board. of review carefully
review the work of the assessor and
correct any and all errors that may
have been made in estimating the val
ne or omissions from the list. A
great deal depends upon the county
board of review. If they carefully
equalize as between the various towns
their work is ready to 60 before the
state board of equalization and that
bndy will eoualize as between coun-
ties.
What has been said about township
assessors applies to small cities and

THE DEBATE
The lnter-Congressional De-
bate on Friday Night
was an Exceptionally
Good one.

The Grand opera house was filled
to overlooking last Friday night
with an audience that had assembled
to listen to a debate between the
high schools of Long Prairie and
Fergus Falls. The question for de-
bate was-Resolved, THAT Amer
lean cities and villages should own
and operate their public utilities. "
Long Prairie sent down in a spec
ial train one hundred and fifty of
her people to show appreciation of
and lend encouragement to her de-
batting team. Among the number
was fine band Of twenty pieces
largely composed of high school
boys and ably directed by A. J.
Reichert. Owing to the greater
distance not SO many could come
from Fergus Falls, although a num-
Der were present from there. A
large number came up from Mel
rose. 1t was an enthusiastic au-
dience that broke out at intervals
before the opening exercises with
school songs and yells.
At the appointed time the Long
Prairie band played two selections
in opening, which were much en-,
joyed and heartily cheered.
Mayor J. A. Dubois acted as pre-
siding officer, and in behalf of our
citizens welcomed the contesting
schools and all present. He ad-
dressed them Ladies and gentle
men, fellow students old and young,
in school and out of school" His
speech was what such a one should
be-short but to the point. He
congratulated in advance the win
ners, and offered in advance SYM
pathy to the defeated, and closed
with story of two pugilsts who
had met for contest. One a big
strapping fellow, the other some
what smaller and slighter. The
small one looked at his bulky OPP
ponent and said: "You think you
are going to lick me, but I'll tell
you right now I shall do my best to
keep the flies off you while you are
doing it." $780," said Dubois,
"we look to see the same spirit
manifested by these teams. One
side must be defeated, but keep the
flies off while it is being DONE"
Long Prairie had the affirmative
of the question. Her team was
Cassia Haskins, Harry Sergeant and
Clyde Reichert. Each speaker was
allowed ten minutes to present his
argument. Miss Haskins opened
the debate, and if any one thought
they were not going to hear because
a girl was going to speak they were
her voice was clear and
strong, her appearance modest and
pretty, her points were we'll taken
and her arguments good. She was
called down by the time keepers be-
fore she had finished, but was
loudly cheered and there were cries
of sswhat's the matter with Cassia
Haskins. she's all right"

The Craving Roy.

Few people take the trouble TO think
about the boy who is leaving childhood
behind him, but he requires as much
care as his sister of the same stage.
People say he is clumsy and awkward.
that his feet and hands are all out of
proportion, and they quite ignore the
fact that this ugly dnckllng" will very
probably develop INTO the ''swan" of so
ciety. The growing boy is exceedingly
sensitive. though you may not think 1t,
and 20 be ridlculed for his changing
voice or roughly rcproyed for his unin-
territorial awkwardncss Is almost agony
TO him. Praise and encouragement Will
bring out the best that Is In him. No
lad with conscientious instincts would
dream OF doing mean action no mat
ter how much his playmates may try to
goad him on, but nagging and "scold-
ing" parents Will do n great deal to hurt
his pride and crush his spirit. III his
conduct merits reproof administer n

let the matter drop. He will see and
understand that you trust him and Will
try TO live up TO your standard.

A MODEL HOUSEWIFE.

kae Must Have Good Temper, Pa
tience and Domestic knowledge.
/. Good temper, patience and a knowl-
edge of domestic matters come first IN
the list Of requirements for a model
housewife.
The mistress Of a family commands
daily a small realm of which she is
queen. Let her rule with Justice. meek
ness and quietness. The most self gov
erned person will always govern best.
ana we would have fewer servants IL
they were all under the firm and pa
tient training OF an employer who un-
derstood what their duties really were
and required the best fullilment Of
them compatible with the fraily OF
human nature.
On the mistress of the house deyolyes
the task of providing food for her
household. When she is a ''model" It IS
her care that no waste nor ignorant
misuse squanders the property OF her
husband and that nothing IS lost by
carelessness or bad cookery.
She takes care that there Is no lack
through fault OF hers nor any drawback
10 domestic comfort through injudicious
rule. no neglect caused 10y love OF idle
pleasure.
II is the watchfuI eye OF the mistress
that keeps the home beautiful with the
freshness OF cleanliness and the calm OF
repose, and through her vigilance alone
will the servants prove faithful in the
performance of their duty.
1t is her thoughtfulness that provides,
often her self denial that purchases. the
comfort of others.
The model housekeeper today com
bines the useful virtues OF our grand
mothers with the charm and graces OF
n more cultivated and intellectual pc.
