Assessors Tor thacO unty met with the
county auditor Thursday and received
their books and instructions for be-
ginning work on the first of the month.
The character of the work will not be
different from that of last year and the
assessments will be made at the same
valuation. There are certain rules
that are laid down that in a general
way can be followed by most of the
assessors, but as rule they have to
depend mostly upon their own judg-
ment in matters that come to their no.

Now that the fishing season is open
there are any number of fishermen,
and it is even reported that there is
considerable seining being done. This
latter method of catching fish is de-
cidely against the law and there is a
severe penalty attached to those who
are caught violating the law. Game
laws are a good thing and are the only
thing that will preserve game of any
kind for the future and should be lived
up to. There is no sport in the use of
d sein and no true sportsman willstoop
| to its use.
Editor Eggensperger of the Hanska
Herald was in the city last Thursday
for the purpose Of attending a meeting
of the assessors, he being assessor for
his village. Mr.. Eggensperger is a
very busy man, for he holds the Office
Of superintendent of the school, justice
of the peace, assessor and editor of
the only paper in the town. He says
that he has to get up at five O'Clock
some mornings to get his work done
Even with all this he has the appear
ance of a man who is at ease with him
self and all the world.
On the 23d of this month the ladies
of the Turnvereln will have an excep-
tionally good fair and bazaar which is
to be held in Turner hall and to which
all the people of the city are invited.
The fair that was held two years ago
is the last they have given, and this
one was somewhat of a revelation to
the people of the city as to what the
ladies were able to accomplish in the
line of fancy work and other things of
feminine fancy. It is said that the
coming attraction will be superior to
anything that has been given in the
city.
The call for the republican county
conventionh has been issued and the
convention will meet in this city on the
9Th OF June. The county will be repre-
5sented by ninety two delegates, if all
Of the precincts send their quota. The
call is very generous and invites ssThe
repu blican voters Of the county and all
other voters, without regard to past
political utilization, who believe in the
principles advocated by the Republi-
can party and endorse it's policies, are
cordially invited to participate in the
selection Of delegates to this conven-
tion.'
Redwood papers contain notices of
the death by accident of Emil Schmah
at Des Laos, N. D. where he was kick
ed by a horse. He was at one time
employed in one Of the butcher shops
of this city and his father is at present
an inmate of St. Alexander hospital.
For number of years Mr.. Schmahl
was the proprietor of a butcher shop
in Redwood Falls. His brothers are
prominent business men of that city at
present one Of them, Julius, being edi-
tor of the Redwood Gazette and can
didate for the nomination Of secretary
Of state.
Yesterday was the first day of May
or May day, (Maia's day. as the an
clients used to call it. The celebration
of this day seems to have aboutpassed
out of the lives Of the people and yet
the day is about as venerable as any
of the holidays. It dates back to the
days of the Druids with their May bon
fires and their goddess Flora. Here
we sometime are reminded of it by the
children's May baskets and an occa-
sionaIMay party but the courier OF
the fifth month Of the year means most.

Fourth Of July in some manner. There
has never been a year that the day has

been long time since there has beer
