Through The
Farmers Mill

BY the courtesy of J. A. Van
Liew, a representative of this
paper was shown through the.
magnificent mill which is being
constructed by the Farmers Mill
q Elevator association. this
week. The plant. which will.
cost when completed about SGT,
600 will have thelast nail driven
within ten days and it will then;
be the best built and most. mod
|ern and UP to date plant in the
entire northwest. The plant in
|cludes an elevator In the east
end of the city where grain will
be purchased d ring the entire
Iseason. The mill plant is located
lon the Farmers road. Besides
the three story and basement
stone mill building, there is a
Us, 600 busheI elevator, and a
beautiful one story stone office
building with poWel house for
| the elevator beneath. The mill
building proper is three stories
built Of concrete blocks, with d
full heighth basement. The en-
Igine and boiler rooms are sepa-
rate, the latter having two fire
proof walls between it and the
machinery. But, the most inter
Iesting feature of the mill is the
pleteness of the machinery,
land the perfection Of the process

taken before it becomes the flour

is received from the storage bins
in the elevator it passes through

JUDGE PLYMAT FILES.
Will Be Candidate to Succeed Him
self as Municipal Judge.


Judge W. N. Plymat has filed as a
candidate for municipal judge, the office
he now holds by appointment of the gov
ernor as successor to the late Judge Ira
p. Shissler. The office is one of those
to be filled at the coming spring election.
Judge Plymat has held the office for
more than year and has shown himself
eminently well fitted to fill it to the sat
isfaction of all concerned. The members
of the bar concur in indorsing Judge
Plymat, which of itself is a splendid
recommendation. Judge Plymat has a
good legal mind, is quick to grasp points,
and is withal pleasant gentleman both
on and off of the bench.
With Judge Plymat candidate, it is
doubtful whether the democrats will care
to place a candidate in the field against
him, even if any of the attorneys i'll
that party could be induced to run.

Important Meeting of the Board
Begins This Afternoon.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily
The new county board convened this
afternoon, with all of the members
present. An organization was formed by
the election of Commissioner Paddock of
this city chairman, and Commissioner
Schultz of Garden City vice chairman.
Mr.. Paddock is the oldest member on the
board both in point of years and length
of service, and represents the most popu-
lous district in the county, and under
the circumstances it was eminently fit
ting that he SHOULD be chosen chairman.
Mr.. Schultz is the only other member
whose term holds over, and his election
as vice chairman was fitting.
The board will probably be in session
for four days, as. there is a large amount
of business to be transacted and the ma
jority of the members are new.
The present oyerseer of the poor farm,
Mr.. Kiffe, does not desire a reelection,
and there are five candidates actively in
the field for the position. They are
George Painter, William p. Lewis, the
former overseer, James Mullen of Madi-
son Lake, James Donahue, brother OF
Chief Donahue of this city, and David
Jones of Lake Crystal.
The present janitor of the court house,
David A. Jones, has no contest on his
made splendid janitor and the county
| is fortunate to retain his services.
There is a very pretty contest on for
county physician for the city district.
The present incumbent, DR.. j. S., Hol
There are four candidates at present,
several who had thought of applying
having concluded to stay out. The four
still in the field are Drs A. G.. Liedlof,
l. d. Webster, J. NJ. Edwards and c. j..
Holman. The last named, it is under
stood, will have the support of Commits
sioner Paddock, which will go a long
ways, as Mr.. Paddock represents the
city district.
Besides filling the above offices, the
board will have to elect the other county
physicians, select the jury list for the
February term of the district court,
fix the salaries of officers, and award the
printing and publishing contracts. There
will also be number of less important
matters to be attended to.
Late this afternoon the board took
up the election of physicians. DR.. Hol-
man was chosen for the city district.

BEAUTIFUL MICA. BUILDING DEDICATED
Splendid New Building Thrown Open for Public In
spection--- Largely Attended Receptions
Bishop Joyce and Others Speak.
From Tuesdays Daily.

FROM TUESDAY $ Dally.
The magnificent new Y NJ c. A.
building was deccated last evening with
appropriate exercises, in the presence of
a large and interested audience, and
amid surroundings the finest, and with
prospects most promising. The eve
ming exercises were preceded by recep-
ton lasting throughout the afternoon
and early evening. Throughout this time
the new building was thronged by hun
dreds of people, old and young, all
anxious to see the interior of build
ing externally so beautiful, and which
has been in progress of construction for
more than year past.
The guests were received by a large
reception committee, including the direct
ors of the association, some of the other
members and thirty members of the
ladies' auxiliary. These courteously
showed the visitors about the large
building, which was last week described
in detail by the Free Press. The various
rooms certainly looked attractive, in the
splendor of the fresh vanished over
hard woodwork Substantially was
written over every part of the building.
The floral decorations were verey eX
tensive and pretty, including numerous
palms and other ported plants, wreaths
hung in the windows, and streamers and
arlands. The gymnasium was decorated
with a number of large flags, prettily
draped along the balcony. Those hav
ing charge of the decorations must
have expended much time and thought
upon their labors.
During the afternoon Lamm's orches-
ira played a number of pleasing selec-
tions, and frappe and waters, generous
ly donated by A. r. Musser, were serv-
ed.
There was general expression of
pleasure on the part of the visitors at
what they saw in the building. 1t was
surprise and revelation to many to
see what conveniences the building con-
tains for the young men who are so for
tunate as to hold memberships. The
building is thoroughly modern, well con-
structed, and equally credit to those
who planned it, those who subscribed to-
ward its construction, and those who
erected the building.
The dedication exercises were held in
the large gymnasium, and began at $50
o'clock in the evening. The gymnasium
was packed, even the gallery being filed
The speakers occupied raised stage
at the east end, and President w. D..
Willard of the association presided.
The exercises We're opened with a
prayer by Rev. f. Z. r. Miller.
George M. Palmer, on behalf of the
building committee, arose and stated
that it was now his pleasant duty to
turn over the completed building to the
president of the association. 1t was the
elimination of several years of thought
