During the past week there have
been many rumors afloat throughout
the county regarding the condition
of the auditors office. AS far as we
can learn there is at present no
shortage in Mr.. Harvey's accounts
with the county. 1t is true that he
has borrowed largely among his
friends at Elkader and elsewhere in
the county and we understand that
considerable money has been paid
into the county treasury by him of
late. Messrs. Peisen & WEIGH, the
tax ferrets, have been investigating
the auditors office as we'll as all
other Offices in the court house, but
they have as yet made no report as
to their findings.-Argus.
A petition has been circulated
this week asking the city council to
submit the waterworks proposition
to vote. The number required by
law is majority Of the voters on a
petition before special election can
be called by the city council. A
number in excess of this is now
thought to have been secured and
will be presented to the council at
the next regular meeting March IL.
Should the waterworks petition be
acted upon favorably by the city
council, special election will be
necessary to vote on the proposition.
A very kindly sentiment prevails
among the business men toward the
waterworks and this sentiment seems
to be that of large majority of the
citizens Of town.--Lamont Leader.
A firm located at Algona has been
doing quite a. real estate business
near Mason City, and some farmers
of Cerro Gordo have received circu-
lar letters from them but thus far
no reports have reached us of any of
the farmers Of this county being
taken in by the scheme, which is a
clever one. The company in ques-
ton does not sell much land, but
aeeces every land owner it gets in
its meshes. An innocent looking
contract in which the farmer lists
his farm for sale, turns out to be a
contract wherein is agreed to pay
81 per acre for advertising the land.
The farmer or landowner signs an
application which he supposes is
one thing till he gets notice Of a
suit against him, when he is told
that it is another thing.-Iowa State

Representative Paul of this (Jones)
county, says the Monticello Express,
wants the boys to spend less money
in their campaigns for office. He
has introduced a bill to make it I'M
lawful to use campaign money for
any other purpose than holding
public meetings for the purpose Of
education. This feature of the bill
is not surprising, because during
his campaign, Paul was long on
meetings and short on drinks, but
the meetings won out over the
drinks just the same. His bill lin
its the amount of money that candi-
dates can expend for campaign pur-
poses, and the schedule is arranged
in the bill as follows: State officers,
$3.50; judicial officers, $500; county
officers, 5000; city officers, 5000;
Legislative officers, 300; town or
township officers, $50; school Of
ficers, $25. If the bill further pro-
vided that those running for Office
should be compelled to pay the
amounts named for campaign pur-
poses, there would be hike for the
woods about nomination time, par
ticularly among those who are sand
bagged into taking our town and
school Offices. The bill has gone to
the house committee on judiciary
where it will be put through the
committees threshing machine.

Manchester should have electric
power for running the machinery of
the business plants in this city that
need it. Independence, according
to the Bulletin Journal, is about to
have it. 1t says: Engineer Guern-
sey went to Chicago Sunday after
noon to complete arrangements for
the new enterprise in which the
city electric lighting plant will en-
gage, that of furnishing small pow
er to such firms or persons as need
it. Now that the city is giving its
patrons day service it is thought
that current for power can be sold
at renumerative rates with little ad-
ditional expense. There are many
gasoline engines in use here, but
they have not been very satisfactory
on account of their tendency to get
out of order just when most needed.
Then the Standard Oil company has
a habit of jumping the price up
that does not sit pleasantly. There
is no other small power equal to
electricity, and we expect to see a
very general demand for it. The
first order given for motor to the
city was by the Bulletin journal for
our typesetting machine. 1t will be
installed as soon as it arrives, and
we invite everybody to come in and
see it operate"

A young man by the name of Hor-
ak, a brother Of Mrs. Joseph Huda-
shek, whose home is about three
miles from Lone Tree, died on last
Friday afternoon, as every one sup
posed, after an illness of two days.
The attending physician pronounced
him dead, a burial certificate was
secured and all the preparations for
the funeral, which was to have been
held Monday, had been completed.
On Sunday afternoon, while the
watchers were regretting the loss Of
their friend and the family were
mourning the death of their son and
brother, signs of life were evlnced
by the supposed corpse. After the
inevitable period Of CONSERVATION
and amazement which fol.
lowed this unexpected occurrence
restoratives were promptly admin
istered and the young man regained
consciousness. Young Horak is
about twenty years Of age and the
only cause for his mysterious and
extended Inconsistencies condition
is that he was suffering with cata.
leptic stroke. He is certainly for.
tunate that his body was not en-
balmed or the remains Inferred
while he was held in the chains Of
lethargy. 1t is needless to state
that the funeral has been postponed
indefinately,-Mt. Vernon Qowa

Both the medical officer and the
surveyor Of the Tarvin (Chester) rural
district council have condemned cot
tage at Caldecott Green, near Farm
don, England, for demolition as In
sanitary. But the tenant, an old man,
appeared before the council and told
a remarkable story in stay OF execu-
ton" He stated that he was 7S years
old. and lived in the cottage with his
wife and three children. For 60 years
there had not been case OF illness in
his family. His father and mother
lived in the cottage before him; his
father died at the age of SO and the
mother at 49, He did not think that
there could be much wrong with the
cottage In the face OF these facts. In
reply to the clerk the old fellow said
that personally he had never had a
doctor, and the only time medical
man had been In his cottage was when
his little son had scalded his leg.
Under the exceptional circumstances
the council decided to adjourn the
natter for further inquiries to be
made.
