| VACATION THAT
PAID THIS BOY.

The boy was II years old.
All that he knew of life was that
there were nine months of school with
lot of play and no school.
This vacation was to be little diff.
ferent. but the boy didn't know it.
"Come on. son, | need your help
said father one evening after his own
days work was done. Il want this
dirt carried up to our flat
The boy opened his mouth wide.
His father wanted him to carry bas-
kets of earth up three flights Of steps.
There was a queer feeling of resent
ment all about inside of him.
Il cant carry dirt he said.
"Never too late to learn said
father good naturedly. "Here. you
take the lighter basket"
Up the stairs went the boy. The
air was close and he got hot and
breathless.
Down he came again. The dirt had
to be dug up and shoveled into the
baskets. He grew hotter and the
sweat began to trickle d wn his back.
"The boys are playing ball. Pm
going over" he said at last with I'M
patience. 81 can't shovel dirt
"All right, old boy" said father,
''but I'm disappointed in you. had
expected to find you able to stick to
thing. I'd counted on your help,
too. But it's all right. Go ahead and
play ball"
The boy washed his hands and went
over into the next yard. 1t was the
first time he ever remembered of feel.
ng uncomfortable when playing ball.
Tonight it wasn't much much fun.
Pretty soon he left the boys and
went up stairs to his mother BY and
by he came down, rolled up his
sleeves and went at the shoveling.
His father had planned a little gard
en- for the fire escape corner. It took
a lot of dirt.
The boy sweat and puffed. He
blistered his hands. But he stuck.
At last the work was done. Father
and son washed themselves and got
ready for supper.
After supper when the father had
stretched himself out for a pleasant
hour with his newspaper the boy
came to him.
II guess, father" he said with an
air half ashamed and yet of new man
liness, II guess it was a good thing
for me to do something that l didn't
want to do."
Father held out his hand. The boy
grasped it in strong grip.
'Tm mighty glad stuck, father"
said the boy.
Good for you, old chap" said the
| father.

THE POWER OF IMAGINATION.

Imagination in some people is ex-
ceedingly strong. One day recently
local physician was talking to a
friend about the power of it.
"Will,' said the doctor, you have
about the strongest imagination ever
knew Of"
"My imagination isn't very strong"
replied the other.
"Yes it is. Some day I'll prove it
to you." said the physician. A week
later the two men were walking down
town together when the doctor handed
his friend a cigar.
'Tts mighty strong, WILL" he said: {:
$50 strong, in fact, that the same
brand frequently makes me sick. Blu,
it's all have"
The other smiled. eft won't make
me SICK" he said. He lighted the cigar
Just as they were about to part, the
doctor said
"Will, you're looking pale around
the gills. What's wrong?"
Frankly" said the other, "tha,
cigar has made me slightly i'll. nev
er smoked as strong a weed"
1t was the doctors turn to smile
That's one of the mildest cigars
made" he said. II was just trying t.
show you how strong your imagina
tion is.''

ness at once. "Well," he said, you've
done it."-Philadelphia Telegraph.

liner calls to mind the Polk county
case of three years ago, when
ctically all the officials of the
county were censured and whole
sale charges of graft and corrup
ton were made by the public ex-
aminer. The Twin City papers
published flaming first page ar
ticles setting forth the details
very much as in the present in
stance. Governor Van SAINT APP
pointed prominent Twin City
attorney to prosecute the case
and several indictments we're
returned by the grand jury.
When the case came to trial how
ever it was found that the public
examiner had not an iota of evil
dence to support his charges and
Judge Watts quashed the indict-
and dismissed the case
within fifteen minutes after the
court sat.

Charge Made.
Governor Johnson Will Appoint Com.
mission But Will Not Not Sus-
pend Accused Officers.

Gov. johnson has announced
that he will appoint com mission
to investigate the charges pre-
ferred against Beltrami county
officials by the public examiner
but that he will not relieve any of
the officials from office in the
meantime.
The general charges made by
the public examiner are as

THE CHARGES.
The county attornev-In that
he failed to prosecute cases

aware and conceded with the
holding back of funds received
from liquor licenses, and neglect
in not examining bills and pre-
venting the allowance of illegal
and excessive claims.
Commissioner r. 0. Sibley-In
being party to and receiving
funds on illegal claims, work on
Baudette road, and refund Of
taxes to the St. Hilaire Lum Der
company.
Commissioner Yves Wright In

funds belonging to the county,
and, in various cases, being party
to and knowingly allowing unjust

fund of taxes to St. Hilaire Lum-
Der company.

of which fraud and conspiracy is
charged are given in the report

lowed, amounting to over $1,000.
Bills paid to county health Of
ficer and county physician IN VIC.
lation with their contracts with
the county.
The construction Of bitches,

Assault TED
WITH CLUB
Drunken Man Enters Saloon
at Nymore and Makes Vi
cious Attack on EmplOye.
WARRANT ISSUED BUT GRIMM.
AL ESCAPES FROM CITY.
Refusal Of Bartender to Furnish
Liquor Given as Cause for
Assault.

Because the bartender at the
saloon Of Mike Guyer at Nymore
refused to supply him with liq uor
gratis, Herman Geise, a resident
Of the Bemidji suburb, entered
Guyer's saloon last night, and
without word of warning made a
vicious attack with club three
feet in length upon the person Of
Dell Poole, an employe of the
place, inflicting serious injury to
Mr.. Poole's left hand and arm,
which were usedin defending his
head from the attack.
A warrant was issued upon
the complaint of Mr.. Poole charg-
ing the man with assault with a
dangerous weapon. but up to the
present time the criminal has
not been apprehended and it is
thought that he has escaped
from the city. 49,.
Geise had been drinking heav-
lily during the day and by even
ing had accum ulated a jag. He
was without money and asked
the bartender at Guyer's place
for a drink. The bartender re
fused to give him the liquor,
which maddened Geise and in a
short time after leaving the place
he returned and without saying
a word approached Mr.. Poole
and rained blow after blow upon
him. The latter was in a posi-
ton where it was impossible for
him to get away from the attack,
and it was several minutes be-
fore Geise was stopped. He es.
capped through the back door
and has not been seen since.
His attack upon Mr.. Poole was
without the slightest provocation,
and the latter claims that he has
never spoken to the man. Geise
has lived at Nymore for some
time past and has wife and five
children.

WHAT LOUD SAYS.

Bemidji, MINI, April Is. 1905
Editor Pioneer
Noticing that charges have
been filed with the Governor
against myself and other county
officers. I desire to say that in
regard to the Cannon matter,
that [ had nothing to do with
granting or refusing him liquor
license, as that matter is not
within my jurisdiction. AS to
refusing to prosecute J. B. Mon
tague upon the complaint of Gan
non, ] am prepared to meet that
charge, and assert that I was
fully justified in refusing the
warrant. | was never removed
from the prosecution Of a case
against a lumber company and
reinstated, and a settlement made.
On the contrary the case refer
red to was tried before Judge
Spooner, taking parts of five
days, and as it developed that the
logs in question were in transit
to the place Of manu- fracture, the
court held, and rightly, that they
were not subject to taxation here.
In regard to holding back, or be-
ing party to holding back, any
money due the county for liquor
licenses, the charge is wholly and
maliciously false, and can be
proved to be false. This matter
was fully investigated by the
grand jury last Septem Der, and
their report is on file. In regard
to the Kelliher and Baudette
road, I knew nothing about the
matter, and refused to approve
Mr.. Jlnkinson S bill for that rea-.
son. I did approve two or three
labor claims, upon the certificate
of Mr.. Jinkinson that the men
had worked the time stated, at
the price charged, after learning
upon inquiry from the commits
sioners, that Jinkinson was the.
foreman in charge of the work
and the proper party to certify
to the bills of the laborers. This
[ will assume responsibility for,
and do not fear the outcome. /
have never knowingly approved
an illegal bill for any amount
whatever, and have never been a
party to any graft, and know of
none on the part Of any officer
accused during my term Of Office.

tract of last year, it is true that

lage was one involving trust
ard confidence, and such
mem bers COULD NOT
MAKE CONTRACTS WITH
THEMSELVES RELATING
TO PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
It's a fundamental princi
pie that the same person can
not act for himself, and at
the same time, with res
spect to the same matter as
the agent Of another, whose
interests might, be in con-
fict with his. The two rela-
tons imposed different obi
cations, and their union
would at once involve A CON-
FLlCT BETWEEN INTER-
EST AND DUTY
In this case the court calls at
tention to the statute making
such action on the part of a mem.
Der Of the village council mis-
demeanor.
2. Mr.. Hazen has never been
elected president Of the village
by the voters Of Bemidji. He
was never selected by the mem.
bers of the council to fill the va
cancy created by the resignation
of Mr.. Ludington.
We understand the position
taken by Mr.. Hazen in this re-
gard to be that Mr.. Ludington
called him to the chair
while Mr.. Ludington presented
his resignation as president of
the village, and that there
upon Mr.. Hazen became presi-
dent, and that he will retain that
office until his successor is
elected.
Upon the acceptance of Mr..
Ludlngton's resignation, the pur-
pose for which Mr.. Hazen was
called to the chair having been
accomplished. his right to act as
chairman ceased.
Had Mr.. Ludington attempted
to confer upon Mr.. Hazen the
Office of president, such attempt
would have been futile. The Of
fee of president is an elective
one. It can only be conferred by
the vote of the people or by the
vote Of the council in case the
president resigns.
The rule that discretionary
power delegated to an officer can.
not be redelegated applies, and
governs this phase of the ques
ton. The president of, the vii
lage is endowed with discretion
airy power. He cannot confer
this power upon another. It is
personal to himself. When the
president resigns he has no.
power or authority to dictate who
shall be his successor. The re-
naming mem bers of the council
alone have the power to eject the
person whom they see lit to act
as their president or chairman.
This power is expressly confer
red upon them by statute. See
Sec. 1924.

gated power cannot be redelegat-
