Through committees of our

that they are well fed, we'll cloth

ing thereon.
The committee that visited the
Court House and Jail reports
that the Jail while in a some.
what dilapidated condition seems
secure and in no urgent need of
repairs; but recommend that the
Court House be repaired and re-
painted on the outside; the blinds
to be repaired or replaced by new
ones; all plastering to be repair
ed where it has fallen off, and
recommend that this be done at
once as the appearance of the
Court House is rather shabby at
present.
The committee on looks and
bonds report that it is their in
tention to make a thorough and
searching investigation of the
books, bonds and records of all
the Offices Of the county, and in
view of this, do not attempt to
make any report at this term {;
but will make an extended report
at some future time.
A number of Bills of Indict.
ment for violation of the Dispen-
sary Law have been handed to
us by the Solicitor We return
ed true bills in all but one Of
these, and in every instance the
parties charged have been con-
Vicied. Formerly it was Of little
use to return true bills in such
cases, as it was almost an impos
lblllty to secure a conviction.
We note with pleasure the
change of sentiment, and feel
that the readiness which the
Juries have shown to convict and
the heavy sentences imposed by
your honor will have a most sal
utary effect. When this class of
offenders realize the fixed deter
mination of the people to put a
top to their lawlessness and feel
the strong hand OF the law as
they have been made to feel it
during this term of court, then
this form of lawlessness so de
moralizing in its effects will
cease.
The bridge on the river road
between Miss Beckham's and the
Gibson place over WaXhaw Or elk
has been reported to us as being
in a very dangerous condition,
and we recomme i that it be re-
placed by new one at once.
In conclusion, we thank your
honor for the uniform kindness
and courtesy you have shown us
and for the very able assistance
you have given us while in the
discharge Of our official duties.

The POStOffiCe.
A Citizen and Patron of the
! Office. .aWho Thinks that
q, there should be Improve
sment both Inside and Out
side.

Mr.. Editor: | have been
reading for some time in The
News about the postoffice and
express Office and depot, and
there is not a n an or woman in
Lancaster county but what very
we'll understands that the peo-
pie need all of them. And I am
very glad that" we have a paper
that is not afraid to speak out
against these things.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you know
that the two last things spoken
of are about settled that is, ac-
cording to the news report, Ian
caster isss to have a new depot
and an uptown express office.
So that the next thing, you
say, the people want is a better
postoffice.
Oh, that. would be.so. nice, for
Lancaster to have one. = l think
we will get one by and by.
But it is not the postof1ice
that is at fault altogether. If
the postoffice department. at
Washington were to build one in
Lancaster.as large as the one in
Newa II ork city, and with no bet
terAimanagement than the one
here has been for a number of
years, what good would that be
for the people, except to look at?
If | 90 and buy watch and the
case is pure gold and it does not
keep'good time, it is not the fault
of the case, but the fault is on
the inside.
And while l for one would
like to see new postoffice at
Lancaster, it seems to me, from
the general talk that one hears
every day, that better manage
ment in the present place would
improve conditions. So you
see that it is not the postoffice
building alone Now 1 don't
claim to know it all, neither do
l charge the mismanagement to
any one, but there is something
wrong, bad wrong somewhere.

others through The News and

postotlice at Lancaster.

10 His Honor J. G. Klugh, Pre-
siding Judge:
Pursuant to instructions re.
ceived from your Honor we have
investigated and passed on all
bills O. indictment handed to us
by the Solicitor except one bill
which we return to him to be
held until further evidence can
be obtained if found proper to do
so.
We have made a careful exam
ination of the report submitted
to our body by the County Super.
visor and find that there IS need
of more rigid economy in the ad-
mlnlstration of the affairs of the
county.
We find items amounting to
several hundred dollars headed
simply, hauling rock or road
work. We believe much of this
Is a useless expense and in some
cases is positive injury to the
road unless the rock is beaten
fine. On account of the closing
of the County Dispensaries the
loss OF revenue to the county will
be considerable and on this &C
count we recommend that the
lndlscrIminale Q paying out of mon
ey for work on the public roads
OF the county be discontinued.-
In our judgment it is the duty of
the overseers to see to it that the
holes and bad places are mended
without cost to the county.
We think all warrants for paw
for road work should show the
nature and extent OF the work.
A pay warrant headed simply
road work is too vague and in.
definite and the Grand Jury can
not tell what work was done or
whether or not they received too
much pay.
We believe positive injury has
been done by the indiscriminate
paying for work done on the pub.
llc roads as it has tendency to
cause overseers TO neglect their
roads in the hope of receiving pay
for working the same.
All work beyond the reasonable
ability OF the road hands to do
should be let by contract and
should not be paid for until in.

We find that the Supervisor
does not keep record of the
names OF the Overseers as requir-
ed by law. Many of the overseers
have not received a commission
for several years and OF course
cannot be compelled 10 do duty
as overseers.
We recommend that the Su-
pervjsor provide himself at once
with a suitable book in which to
enter the names of the overseers

MINNESOTA ELECTION
ALL OF THE REPUBLICAN CON.
GRESSMEN ARE PROBABLY
RENOMlNATED.

st. Paul, Sept. 19.-Indications are
that Minnesota will have one new face
In congress next year, F. M. Nye of
Minneapolis. Apparently all the con-
gressmen who ran this year are re-
nominated. All the Minnesota con-
gressmen are Republicans. The only
who is running close to Lindbergh.
Stevens beat Rogers nearly three to
one in the Fourth district, and Nc
Cleary beat Gutterson by safe ma
jority in the Second district.
The Hennepin situation is not yet
certain, but Frank NJ Nye will prob
ably be nominated, with Eustis close
second. A. r. Hall and w. d. Wash
burn, Jr., the other candidates, are re-
ceiving a small vote. Frank Larabee,
the Democratic candidate, had no op-
position.
The Sixth district was the only dis
trict where there was any Democratic
contest for nomination. NJ c. Tiff of
Long Prairie won easily over c. d.
Auyer of Little Falls by large per-
centage. The vote was not heavy, as
all expected Tiff to win, and no fight
was made. Tiff was the candidate Of
the organization of the party.
Both Buchanan and Lindbergh claim
the victory in the Sixth district, and
1t will probably not be decided until
all the precincts are heard from. The
returns so far received, however, give
Buchanan little the better of it.
Definite figures could not be OBJ
tanned from the Eighth, but enough
returns are in to indicate Bede's cleo
ton. Bede is conceded Duluth by $50
by the opposition, but Millar seems to
have run we'll in the outlying parts Of
st. Louis county. Bede, however.
seems to have run far enough ahead
in the other counties to give him
safe majority for the nomination.

From Fridays Daily.
The Blue Earth county fair at Gar

Yesterday was good day at the fair,
the number of persons attending it be-
ing 600, or Whereabouts. Among those
on the grounds were a number from
Mankato, including good representa-
ton of candidates.
Hon. w. S. Hammond of st. James,
democratic candidate for congress, gave
the principal address of the day., and
Thomas Nimlos of Minneapolis spoke up
on the benefits of the Minnesota Farm
ers' Exchange.
The Mankato ball team did not play
Amboy as announced, but Garden City
played Amboy, and very good game
was the result. Amboy was successful,
winning by the score of five to two.
Evans and Willis were the battery for
Amboy, and Edgerton and Jones per.
formed similar service for Garden City.

CHURCHILL is DEFEATED.
Charles M. Floyd Nominated for Gov.
ernor of New Hampshire.

Concord, N. H., Sept. 19.-Charles
M. Floyd of Manchester was nominal
ed for governor Tuesday night at the
close of the hardest contest ever
waged in a Republican convention in
New Hampshire. Nine ballots were
necessary before the choice was made,
and three of these ballots were made
void by more votes being cast than
there were delegates entitled to
seats. Winston Churchill of Cornish,
the novelist and leader of the recent
ly organized Lincoln Republican club
of New Hampshire, was Floyd's closest
competitor in the final vote and he
retained that position after making a
terrific fight from the moment the
convention opened until the count
showed him to be Defeated. The re-
suit of the ninth and final ballot was:
Charles M. Floyd of Manchester,
