Prepare For Fall and Winter.


AS the season approaches for heavy
rainfalls and the consequent muddy
roads it is we'll to call the attention of
road supervisors to the necessity for
seeing to it that bitches and culverts
are open to allow the free passage Of
water, says Good Roads Magazine.
Water is the deadly enemy to a road
and should therefore be kept as far
away as possible. In the construction
of new road proper browning and
draining are the two essential things to
be kept constantly in mind. Keeping
the surface smooth by the use of the
road scraper or drag is all important II
good, passable roads are desired. In
the northern sections of the country.
where deep SHOWS are found in the
winter months, preparations should be
made early for rolling down the snow
or otherwise keeping the roads open

cannot afford $1,000 piano, and on
top Of it $500 rug, $3.50 parlor suit

This is no excuse, but fact. That

risks she ran, but she was self willed.
She finally began to fade. The doctor
said she lasted q year longer than he
expected. but she went with rush

neighbors had telephoned for the po-

Legislature Overlooked Appropriation
for Reimbursing Sheriffs |for Taking
Prisoners to State Institutions,

The sheriffs of the state seem
to be confronted with the neces-
sity of opening a running ac-
count with the state which will
cover two years and include all
expenses incurred by the
sheriffs in transporting prisoners
from the counties in which they
are convicted to the state prison
at Saltwater or the reformatorv
at st. Cloud, says the St. Paul
Pioneer Press. The reason for
this condition is the failure of the
legislature to include in the omni.
bus appropriation bill the usual
$4,000 fund out of which these
expenses have been paid.
That this condition exists was
brought to the attention of At
torney General b T. Young yes

SPOONER MAN Arrested,
BIGAMY is THE CHARGE
Lewis Nolan Arrested by Sheriff Bailey
---Said to Have Too Many
Wives.

Sheriff Thomas Bailey has re-
turned from Spooner, bringing
with him Lewis Nolan of Spoon
er, who IS charged with bigamy.
1t appears that Nolan lived for
some time at International Falls
and was married at that place
last fall. He afterwards moved
to Spooner, and was at one time
village marshal of Spooner.
The charge now made against
Nolan is that he has a wife living
elsewhere, and he will be COM
PEELED to answer to the offense of
bigamy.
Nolan was arraigned yesterday
afternoon before Justice M. e..
Slocum, and his preliminary
hearing was adjourned for one

HAS SECURED MANY TIES
ALONG The M. & |. RY,

A. G. Mclean, who buys ties

the Martin Bros, of Duluth, has
just completed another inspec-
tion OF ties lying along the right
ot-way Of the Minnesota & Inter.

official tie inspector for the
Northern Pacific railway, accom-
panied Mr.. Mclean and passed
Judgment on the ties. Twenty
Thousand of the ties were &C.
cepted and purchased for the
Northern Pacific.
This last inspection closes q
five months gathering of ties
along the M. & T.. during which
many were accepted, the larger
majority Of the ties offered being
of a very good quality. Since
late last fall, Mr.. Mclean has
sold to the N. 2. over 234, ZOO ties

authorities. He received his ex.
penses for the trip, but was in
formed that this payment ex-
hausted the fund and that no
further payments can be made.
The reason given for this condi-
tion was that the legislature had
made no provision.
Under the circumstances
there appears to be. no ether
course to pursue than for the
sheriffs to keep track of the ex-
penses incurred on such trips
and ask the next legislature to
reimburse them. The matter
was talked over Informally with
the attorney general and no
action on the part of the official
was asked.
