tSHt1Ht' VI sa'~ t'oi ipSt bcCtinDcf, the
democrat members have had chip on
their shoulders and have been determined
to let their political preferences take the
place OF their plain duty and the best in.
terests OF the county aud the tax PAYERS.
After the election Of Mr. Hughes to the
Office OF County Clerk. he resigned his
Office as one OF the superintendent of the
poor, having over a year yet to serve
The present keeper, VIM Seaman, who
had had charge OF The farm for three
years, and whose record shows he saved
and made the county more money than
any keeper the county ever had, three
months previous had handed in his res
ignation. The board believing it a
financial loss to the county to loose him,
offered him as an inducement TO stay, a
contract fof two years and an advance in
salary. According to some of the best
legal advice in the county they had
authority 10 dose and in the judgement
OF the honest and sensible taxpayers Of
the county they were justified i'll so
doing. Upon the resignation of Mr..
Hughes, r. Arnold OF st. Louis was
elected to take his place and Gaylord
Helms Was elected in place of Mr.. People,
making the majority of the board derIo-
cratic, then they at once commenced
figuring how to divide the loaves and
fishes and give some democrat Job.
One OF the members stated. that "person-
ally Seaman was all right and good
man, but politically he objected tn him. "
AT the last meeting of the board the |
two democrat members refused to pay
Mr.. Seaman his salary or that of his |
employees on the farm, except OH the |
bases of the old contract and his former
salary, ignoring the two year contract I
made with him by the former board.
Prosecuting Attorney Everden was called
ON TO pass upon the validity of the con-
tract and the right of the board TO make
such contract. His opinion was, that the
board undoubtedly had the right TO make
such contract for a reasonable length
of TIME and stated that in other states
where the laws are practically the same
as IN Michigan the courts have held con-
tracts made as long as FIVE years good.
SEQ. p. Stone was consulted by the
democrat members and claimed the con-
ract void. At this, the democrat men,
)ers of the board served notice on Sea-
nan to get out April Ist. This he re-
uses to do. Sharrer, the chairman of
he board positively refuses to sign any
'rders for legal proceedings and it looks {
low as though the democrat members in |
'rder to carry their point would have to
20 into their pockets in order TO continue
urther proceedings against Mr.. Seaman.
The taxpayers are indignant and enraged
I the attitude of the majority of the
'oard and are encouraging Sharrar to
tand pat and save the county from such
ontemptable political trickery.

Danger OF using Alcoholic Mixtures of
Coal Tar Tablets

Danger OF using Alcoholic Mixtures of
Coal Tar Tablets
Laying aside all moral objections
against filing up the system with
whisky or drugs because one has a
cough or cold, the dangerous physical
effects should be sufficient to keep one
from using these strong medicines.
A thoroughly scientific way to treat
cough aud cold as well as sensible
method is to breathe Hyomei through
tie neat pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit. The first breath Of
its healing medication relieves the irri-
tation, and its continued use soon effects
a thorough cure.
The best people in Alma always keep
Hyomei in the house during the win
ter months. and az the first symptoms
of cold or bronchial troubles. use
the remedy, and prevent serious and
lasting illness. The guarantee that
Chas. Rhodes gives with every Hymonei
outfit should convince you of its curative
bowers. a complete Hyomei outfit
costs but $l.00, extra bottles if neened.

tund the money if it does not give salts

ENJOYED BIG GAME HUNT
IN The NORTHERN WOODS
State Senator A. v. Rieke and Paul
Albrecht Of Fairfax Had Rare
Sport.

A. v. Rieke Of Fairfax, ex-state
senator, and Paul Albrecht accom-
panied by D. Winebrenner of this
city, are among the many hunters
who have been hunting big game in
the woods north of here.
The gentlemen spent Sunday at
Margie, and after wading around
valorously in the swamps, accom-
panied by the editor of this great
moral educator, gave up in disgust
and returned to this city. They
left Monday afternoon for Puposky
determined to get some big game.
They went to the home of A.
LemIah, about two miles from
Puposky, where they made their
headquarters, and some real hair
raising stories have come down to
town as to what they have been
doing up there in the woods.
On Tuesday, Albrecht shot big
buck, bringing him to earth in what
he supposed was the deer's death
throes. Rieke. Winebrener and
Paul went to where the deer lay and,
while they were in the midst of an
argument as to whether they should
puta second shot into the deer to
make sure of its death, the buck
jumped to it's feet and scattered the
nimrods in every direction, making
good its escape to the tall timber.
On Wednesday,, Winebrener shot
a buck, which also played "possum,
and succeeded in getting away in
almost the same manner as the one
of the previous day. However
Mr.. Albrecht succeeded in killing a
big buck, and Rieke got fine doe,
while .Winebrenef bored one
through and through and followed
its bloody tracks distance, which
we verify believe, was we'll nigh to
the main streets of Winnipeg-but
he didn't get the buck.
Messrs. Rieke and Winebrener
returned to this city yesterday
forenoon, Mr.. Rieke bringing his doe
with him, and left for St. Paul by
way of Duluth yesterday noon. Mr..
Albrecht remained in the woods to
bring out his buck, after which he
will return to his home.
This was the first visit of the
Fairfax gentlemen to the north
country, and they were enthusiastic
over their experiences while here.

after having spent yesterday in this
city and Cass Lake. Mr.. Bennett
says that it is just possible that he
may bring down home talent
dramatic company of International
Falls, which will put on the play "A
Parish Priest" and show it to Be-
midi folks. Mr.. Bennett is a
polished actor and as he has charge
of the company that will play "A
Parish Priest" it is certain that the
play will be good. Bring 'em down,

Mr.. Wilson expresses himself as
being we'll pleased with the manner
in which the different members of
the company acquitted themselves.
Tonight there will be full dress
rehearsal, when every member of
the company will be present, and
the opera will be gone through at
least twice.
Those who deeire good seats for
the opera should get them reserved
at the earliest moment, as indica-
tions point to very large attend
ance each evening.

'ut it was gen erall y conceded that
the Indians would greatly excel
the Minnesotans, as they are pos
sessed of great speed, aud they also
have the weight, averaging about as
heavy lineup as Minnesota.
Prior to the game, it was inn
possible to get statement of a pre-
diction of the outcome of the con-
test from either eleven.

men did not hesitate to pronounce his
action in issuing certificates illegal. Now
he has curtailed the issue of Panama

the sum originally announced, and has
curtailed the issue of Treasury certifi-
Gates from s100,000,000 to SIS, 900, 600.
While the legality or illegaIity of the
issue is just as much involved in the
SIS, 100000, Congressmen are able to
accept it with better face. No one. of
course, intends to test the illegality of
the issue, but great popular debate
is pending on the question, and the Re-
publican orators will have to defend the
action of the Administration.
Probably the fact that the Secretary

OF the fossil animals so far discovered

about 38 tons. Full-grown whales av-

INVESTIGATOR BRIsTOW.
He Has a Narrow Escape From Return
ing to the Pay Roll.

Joseph L. Bristow, editor and pro-
prietor of the Salina, Kan, Daily Re
publican and formerly Fourth Assistant
Postmaster-G General, had narrow es-
cape the other day from getting back
on the Government pay roll. The time
ly work of the Kansas delegation, or
certain members thereof, saved him.
Several members of the delegation
called upon President Roosevelt to push
the claims of Judge j. Q. Thompson, of
Pratt, Kan, now a special Assistant At
torneyGeneral in the Court of Claims
for the position of Assistant Attorney
General of the United States. The Pres
ident indicated that he was inclined to
give the place to Utah man.
But" said one of the Kansas men,
bers, kansas has lost about all it ever
had in the way of good jobs under the
Administration. 1t practically has Moth
ing now. 1t has lost Col. Eugene F.
Ware as Commissioner of Pensions,
Ward Burlingame from the Post Office
Department.; 1t has lost Thomas Ryan
as First Assistant Secretary of the In
terror, and it has lost Joseph L. Bristow
as Fourth Assistant Postmaster-Gener-
al, and"
Before the Kansas Congressman could
finish the sentence the President broke
in: do you want Bristow back? Do
you want Bristow back? If you do, Just
minute"
For a moment the Kansans were
dumfounded. Finally one of them
gathered up enough courage to say
that they were not pressing Bristows
claims for a job; they were seeking to
have Judge Thompson promoted. So
Bristow escaped.
The Kansans in the Federal service
have all made good, which ought to
commend Kansas for at least it proper
ton of jobs. 'Ironquilr' retired be-
cause he had had enough of public
service. Thomas Ryan and Ward Bur-
lingame retired with nothing but praise
for long and excellent service. But
why did Bristow go out? His office
of Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General
used to be called the office of the
"headsman" of Administrations, because
of the huge patronage at its disposal in
post offices. Until his appointment it
went to some politician In close touch
with party leaders. but Bristow ac
quired fame not as a headsman and
dispenser of spoils, but for the expos
ures he made in the Postal Service.
He first fell out with Mark Hanna by
causing the indictment in Cuba of one
of Hanna'S favorite henchmen. His
report on the postal scandals gained
him the ill-will of leaders in Congress,
and his connection with the Burton case
did not add 10 MS popularity, especially
in the Senate.
There has always been more or less
suspicion that the President let Bris-
tow go as a concession to leaders in
Congress, that it was one of the trades
by which he secured support for some
of his important measures. This gos-
sip bears out the theory, So far as it
may have any foundation According
to it, the President would jump at the
chance tn have Mr. RriStnYU hack in
Government harness, and SO probably
he would.

4 UNIQUE ALBUM.
1t Contains the Photographs of 93 Mem
bers of One Company.

Editor National Tribune: AS a mat
ter of considerable historical interest in
relation to the civil war, / desire to
STATE that Capt. Theodore E. Potter, Of
this city, has in his possession photo
graph album completely filed with pho
tosraph pictures, taken just before the
close of the war of 92 members of his
own company, including over a dozen
officers and men Of some of the other
companies. The photographs were taken
in December, 1864, near Nashville
Tenn, and all members of Co. c, 18th
Mimi, and We're presented to him as
Captain of the company, and at the
time Of presentation he promised the
boys that he would place them in an
album and keep them for 40 years, and
then present the album as historical
memento and civil war relic to some
Minnesota society for future generations
to examine.
on Sept. IA, 1906, nearly AZ years
after that promise was made, Capt. Pot
ter presented the album and contents
TO the 11th MINI. Regimental Associa-
tiOn at its Annual Reunion. 1t was &C
.ccpted by rising vote of $50 members
present at this meeting, held in Mime
lapolis in connection with the last Ma
tional Encampment, and then voted by
the Society to present the album to the
Minnesota State Historical Society at
thelT next annual feunlOn, TO be heId
in Minneapolis Sept. ), 1907.
The album containing the photo
graphs was purchased in Nashville, and
cost SIS.
At the time the album was bought
the Captain was told that il had been
gotten up in the South for the purpose
of being used exclusively by Confeder-
ate officers for company and regimentaI
purposes. 1t has been shown to hun
drcds of our civil war veterans, who
say they never saw one like it.
Capt Potter and many others would
like TO know thru The National Tribune
if similar case exists in this country
of anyone possessing photographs of SO
members of one military company in
active service, taken 43 years ago, ali
in the military uniform they wore in
the service at that time.-Wm. Putnam
