An Open Letter.

From the Chaplin, S. c., News:
Early in the spring my wife and
l were taken with diarrhoea and
so severe were the pains that We
called in a physician who per-
scribed for us, but his medicines
failed to give any relief. A
friend who had a bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and
-Diarrhoea Remedy on hand gave
each Of us a dose and we at once
and we at once felt the effects.
/ procured a bottle and before
using the entire contents we were
entirely cured. 1t is a wonderful
remedy and should be found in
every household. H. C. Bailey,

The trcasurer's sale of the Hes
tor cattle taken for $91.62 delin-
quent taxes will tie held
Monday morning, the 22d.
There are six COWS with calves,
three dry cows, and four year
lings-two heifers and two steers
to be sold.
C. H. Davis was transacting
business here Saturday. He had
no loss of sheep in rains as he
had been feeding corn since the
February storm. So much corn
is causing the sheep to lose their
wool and as a result his wool crop
will be light. The price of wool
is at it's top notch just now.
B. A. Hickman, jr. of St. Louis,
Missouri, was here last Friday
night looking after the Hickman
real estate. He is a newspaper
man, working in the auditor s
department Of the Post-Dispatch.
He left Saturday morning for
Denver where he hoped to form
a stock company of the several
heirs of his late fathers estate.
His father owned the Villas hotel
for a number of years.

would answer in the negative; but a
pauper does not acquire residence in a
voting precinct because of residence in
an almshouse therein"
This airing Of the rights of the states
unfortunates was brought about through
a recent meeting of the state associa-
ton of correction and charities, held at
st. Peter. Their delegates held that
paupers had no rights, and one delegate
from Washington county declared he
had ordered one aged inmate placed I'M
der solitary confinement, on bread and
water, for forty days. He had violated
the rules by having matches on his per-
son.
This statement, together with others,
so angered Mr.. Rosing that he at once
asked for an opinion and it is likely
that a rigid investigation of the meth
DDS of correction in the poor houses of
the state will follow.
The Washington case especially is to
be investigated.

has been receiving county moneys in this
manner for the last forty years.
While he was here the actuarv adj
monished the treasurer not to carry
checks as cash items, but it is related
that few years ago check issued by
an employee of the examiners office
was honored by Webster and carried for
nearly two weeks as a special accommo-
dation to the payee.
When the newspaper accounts of the
examiners report were received here the
officials mentioned were considerably ex-
ercised. They stated their cases to Gov
ernor Johnson, whom all have known
since childhood, the chief executive as
surfing them that no complaints had
been lodged in his office.
County Attorney A. A. Stone, who
now has the examiners report in his
possession, refuses to divulge its con-
tents, nor will he outline his intentions
with respect to the prosecution of Blom-
berg. The latter's bondsmen are known
to have taken steps to protect them
selves should it become necessary to pay
the alleged shortage.

GOVERNOR JOHNSON LISTENS TO
NICOLLET COUNTY OFFICERS.
States That No Complaints Against
Than Has Been Lodged
With Him.

st. Peter, Dec. Nothing in recent
years has so stirred Nicollet county Of
fetal circles as the investigation recent
ly conducted by Colonel C. E. John
son, deputy public examiner. In addi-
ton to enumerating shortages in the Of
flee of former Clerk of Court G. A..
Blomberg Jr., his report criticises the
methods used by Auditor A. H. Free
man; Treasurer JohnWebster and Judge
of Probate Henry Moll. While their
irregularities are of minor character,
they feel keenly the publicity that has
been given them, and on Tuesday de-
manded and were granted hearing
by Governor John a. Johnson, who came
to the city to be present at the open
ing of st. Peters new theatre.
Auditor Freeman is taken to task for
failing to require itemized bills from
two persons employed by the county
commissioners, he explained the cir
cumstance by saying that satisfactory
verbal explanations were made and it
would have been necessary to put the
county to needless expense in order to
procure the bills in regular form. Judge
MolPs offense was purely technical, he
having allowed fees for insanity ex-
aminations in accordance with the prac-
tice in vogue here for years.
A new law, passed last spring, does
not change the compensation, but slight
ly alters the way the fees shall be dis
tributed among the physicians making
the examination. As there have been
but three commitments in Nicollet coun-
ty since the law went into effect, the
matter is really trivial.
Treasurer Webster figures in the re-
port because of shortage of SS3 in his
balances, his failure to keep day book
provided by the examiners office, and
for keeping county funds in New Ulm
bank not designated as a county deposit
tory by the county board. He declares
the shortage was covered by remit
lance in the mails at the time the in
vestigation was made, and that his daily
cash balances appear in another book in
his office. The New Ulm bank, which
has never been objected to by the ex-
aminer heretofore, is allowed to receive
tax payments made by residents of the
townships of West Newton, Ridgely and
Lafayette, many of whom lived fully
fifty miles from the county seat, and

CIGAR MAKERS ELECT
NAME NEW OFFICERS FOR THE
COMING YEAR.
Methods of Advertising Union Cigars
Majority Cigars Smoked in Man.
kat0 Made Elsewhere.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The cigar makers union held its cleo
ton of officers last night, and the fol-
lowing We're chosen: President, j. Law
en-; vice president, V. Miller; cores
ponding secretary and financial secre-
tary, L. j. Colson; recording secretary,
William Erd; trustees, j. Hecker, H.
Deorr and H. Zimmerman: finance COM
mittee, the last three named; sergeant
at arms, William Roble; delegates to
trades and labor assembly, Joe Schmidt
l.. j. Colson and Frank Britton.
The union has procured 600 calendars
and also a number of sacks for peanuts
and candy and seventy-fve large Their
mometers, all for the purpose of adver-
tising the union label cigars. William
Erd, III. Zimmerman, V. Miller, William
Riley and Frank Britton were appointed
a committee to distribute the calendars
and sacks, and John Laven, Henry Deorr
and Peter Schuette were appointed a
committee to distribute the thermome-
tiers.
The union decided to give its first
dance and will give it on New Years
night at the A. 0. U. w. hall. l.. j.
Colson, Hugo Johnson, John Laven,
Henry Deorr, Frank Britton and Will
liam Erd were appointed committee of
arrangements.
At the last meeting committee was
appointed to see how many cigars that
are made in Mankato are smoked here
and how many are imported from out
side of the city. The work of the COM
mittee thus far shows that seventy-five
per cent of the cigars smoked in the
city are made at other places. Some
Mankato made cigars are shipped out.
If only home made cigars were smoked
there would be employment in the city
for seventyfve cigar makers instead of
twenty five as at present.

RIGHTS OF THE POOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL YOUNG AID.
VlSES IN THEIR CASE.
Mails Must Not Be Tempered With,
and They Have a Right
to Cast Ballot.

Poor house inmates have rights, and
those in charge of institutions in which
they are confined must respect them.
Further, they cannot be restrained OF
their liberty by the use of solitary con
fnement for any infraction of the poor
house rules. Damages can be collected
by inmates so treated.
Again, their mail cannot be opened UNI
less it concerns known unlawful prac-
tees and, what is more, they can vote.
Because they are unfortunate does not
necessarily mean that they have lost
their citizenship.
All this Attorney General Young so
hules in an opinion given, it being in
answer to a number of questions pro-
pounded by L. A. Rosing, of the state
board of central. The questions and an
swers follow:
'Have the county commissioners the
right to make rules authorizing the
keeper of the almshouse to place in
mates in solitary confinement?
MAY they make rules providing for
the opening and inspection of mail re-
ceived or sent by the inmates?
''Has a poor person who accepts pub
lie aid lost his citizenship"
''Does a person who accepts public aid
at the almshouse of any county thereby
lose his right to the franchise?'
answering your questions in their
order, beg to say that a clear dis
tinction must be made between chart
table institutions and correctional insti-
buttons. A person can be deprived of his
liberty as punishment, only by COM
petent court, for violation of public
law. But detectives and dependents who
are legally received into institutions
maintained at public expense, may be re
quired to conform to such rules as are
necessary for the orderly management
and administration of the institution
of which they are inmates. An appli
cant for and in public poor house
would, necessarily, be required to sur
render some of the privileges of individ-
ual liberty. He must conform to all the
reasonable rules adopted for the preser
walton of good order, health, and general
welfare of the inmates. The keeper
may prevent mischievous and disorderly
acts by reasonable amount of proven
tive force where other means are I'M
available, but he would not be permit
ted to enforse severe punishment of sol
itary confinement; it is not authorized
by law.
''For such unjustifable severity a
poor housekeeper was held liable for
damages for false Imprisonment in the
state of Illinois. AS Ill. App. ~
Gin "a Conn. 1872, the supreme court of
that state held keeper liable for as
sault and battery for imposing solitary
confinement

swered in the negative, unless such cor
respondence is clearly carried on for
some unlawful purpose.

LETTER FROM Mr.. BARR.
Writes That His Oranges Are Doing
Well, Also Chicken Crop.

from MONDAY Ddly.
Hon. George T. Barr writes from
Maurovia, CAL, renewing his subscrip-

the fact that the weather in California
has been quite chilly. The mercury got
down to 40 one morning, and has been
in the forties every morning since. Have
already had two very good rains. Mr..
Barr says he has very good crop of
oranges. The trees are still young
only four years old-but the crop con-
sidering everything-is very much bet
ter than the average this year. Mr..
Barr is having good success with his
chickens. Eggs sell at As cents per
dozen. On the day that Mr.. Barr wrote
he expected Ed Swan and wife and
daughter to visit them, and on Thanks
giving day Mrs. Lidgerwood and daugh-
ter and one of the Faddis girls were to
take dinner with Mr.. and Mrs. Barr.
