TROUBLES IN RANDOLPH.
Township Oficials Resigns Because
OF INVESTIGATION.

A@-fAA+e% -
Of INVESTIGATION.
AS a result of the Investigation Of
the affairs Of Randolph township, all
or the members Of the township COM
mittee and the township clerk re-
signed. The committeeman resigned
one at a time and the first two to re-
sign, Messrs Connolly and Wright,
were reappointed to serve until Janu-
ary first. Clerk Cannatta was also re-
appointed temporarily.
Ofthe three committeeman Wright
had to refund the most, his repay
ment amounting to S340. He had
served for three years as treasurer Of
the committee, and it was found that
his entries of discount had been. the
merest guesswork. He had entered
1872 on account of discount, and Mr..
Smith and his advisory committee
found that the banks had charged
only 5000. Other alleged illegal pay
ments we're for meetings" for the
inspection Of roads. For the last year
he had received $3.50 for eighty meet
ings. AS the committee meets month
| ly, he was entitled to S24 for regular
meetings, and the Investigators con-
cluded to allow each committee mem
Der twelve extra meetings, all pay
ments in excess OF that total to be re-
funded. Connolly, under the commit
mee's ruling, had to pay back $64 and
Briant S75. Mr.. Cannatta also re-
funded S75.
A peculiar outcome OF the investi-
cation was the discovery that asses
sors have been charging seventeen
cents name for assessing the town
ship tax, and five cents for the school
tax. The legal charge is seventeen
cents altogether, and as consequence
Hudson Dalrymple, who signed the
application for the investigation, and
who was township assessor for term
of three years, was called upon to re-
fund five cents for each OF ,040 names
on the assessors duplicate for each
year Of his term, making a total re-
fund Of s155. His predecessor, Thomas
Bassett, charged the same, but the
investigation did not cover his term,
and SO far he has not been called upon
to make good.
The explanation offered by the com
mittee for the wiping out Of the sur
plus OF 81, ,s4l was that the township
was under extraordinary expense as a
result of smallpox epidemic. Justice
Pitney, when this was called to his at
tention, said that the township COM
mittee should have put it up to the
voters, and that they were not war
ranted in exceeding their appropria-
tion in the manner in which it was
done.

Of sail, and has 400-lb. casting bolted
to her kelsOn. There was great rejoic-
ing among the argonauts of the High
School when the craft was launched
on Saturday. The only cause for Sor-
row lay in the fact that the ceremony
had not taken place at the beginning
of summer. There will be weekend

a school principal, speaking Of
the Lauter Piano, quite lately said:
My family are delighted with it, for
the tone is especially beautiful. Be-
fore purchasing, we tried over a dozen
other prominent makes. None had a
tone Of such fine sympathetic quality
as the Lauter" Such is the opinion
that is held by hundreds of competent
judges, people who were most favor
ably impressed with the Lauter at
time Of purchase, and whose good
opinion has been amply confirmed
through daily contact in the home.
The Lauter Piano has tone Of
great beauty and power. II has fault
less balance of scale, and beautiful
finish of details throughout. 1t is not
merely very good instrument, but Isl
from every standpoint as fine as is now
manufactured and from several stand
points the finest.
We make Grand Pianos, Player

shown in various styles of cases and in
different finishes. We make 4 spe-

Not only have we pianos Of our
own make, but we have several other
makes Of standard reputation as well.
We have stock that in numbers and
variety amazes the visitor who comes
for the first time. We have easily five
or SIX times as many pianos as are to-
be seen anywhere else in this State, \
and our showing will compare favor
ably with any in New York.
Not the least interesting among
the pianos here is the Llewellyn that
we sell at as little as ONE HUN !.
DRED AND TWENTY-FIVE DOL
LARS. This instrument is a genuine
" good piano at wonderfully low
price. 1t will compare favorably iii
tone, quality and appearance with
pianos that are sold elsewhere at $275.
and $500. A brief comparison Of
values will make this manifest.
The tone is musical and full; the
action is easy and responsive; the con-
struction throughout is durable and
honesE the case work is handsome
and in good taste. We guarantee for

Men are queer. Wouldn't there be
a roar when they went home to their
meals if they had to climb up on high
stool in front of table on which there
was no cloth, and eat their meals in
that fashion? Yet majority of men
when they GO to restaurant to eat,
will pick out the high stool and feed
board with no cloth on it in preference
to comfortable chair and cloth-cov-
cred table. A man will borrow chew
of tobacco and most OF them will set
their teeth into the plug right over
where some other man gnawed out a
chew. Offer him piece of pie at home
from which his wife or one of his chill
dren had taken bite and he would hol-
Ter his head off. AT home he will not
drink out of glass or cup from which
one Of the family has been drinking.
Call him into the back stall of livery
barn, pull out bottle, and he will stick
the neck of the bottle half way down
his throat in order to get swig, after
a half dozen other fellows have had
the neck of the bottle in their mouths.
A man is queer duck. Elk.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1906-08-16

Per announcement Senator LaFollette
addressed large gathering of people
of this place Tuesday evening. II was
an earnest, impressive talk, so charac-
teristic of the man, in the interest of
the people. His clear, indisputable il
lustration of how everything upon which
the human family depended for happi-
ness and existence was in control of a
few soulless corporations, showed up a
startling condition of affairs. He urged
his hearers to become actively inter-
ested therein, as their independence
and welfare were at stake. The danger
line was shown to be unpleasantly close,
and that now is the time to break it
down, which can be done effectively by
sending the right men true-blue men
to represent the people in the state and
national law making bodies, they being
the only avenues.
In touching on the gubernatorial con-
test the senator justly claimed, as
native born citizen, an equal privilege
with all other citizens of declaring his
preference, and frankly named Irvine
l.. Lenroot. His reasons were plain
and impressive. The exceptional fitness
of the man of his choice TO properly
protect the people and push forward in
the struggle for their rights, as proven
by the senator in his utilization with
Mr.. Lenroot during the strenuous cam
pains, and the contention with the cor
poration-ridden legislatures of the late
years, were stated in such an earnest,
honest style that but few refuse to con-
cede the senator's position reasonable.
