Another department scandal
seems bout to be aired in the city.
Some time ago the president ordered
an investigation of the govern
ment printing office, and the mat
ter was placed in the hands OF the
chief of the division of printing,
Department of Commerce and Labor.
The report is almost ready to go in,
but, of course, the chief refuses to
say anything, and the matter Will
have to be left in abeyance until the
president sees fit to report. The
public printer has an audit system
an outside concern, which has its
offices in touch with his, which
is a wonder. II is said that con-
tracts are let to the audit system
which would cost far less, II lei
direct to the people, who make bona
fide bids.

OPEN EMERGENCY HOSPITAL
Beds Have Been installed In Catholic
School Building.

An emergency hospital has been
started in the Catholic school build
ing, to take the overflow patients from
st. JOseph's. The seats have been re-
moved from two of the recitation
rooms, and up to last evening four
teen beds had been installed and five
patients had been received. More beds
were put in today and patients re-
eelyed, and 'it is hoped that no one
will have to be turned away.
The city will furnish the bedding for
the extra beds, and this afternoon
the Ladies' Relief society and w. X.
c. met at the home of Mrs. c.. f.
Wise to sew sheets and pillow cases.
More nurses arrived from abroad yes
terday for Emmanuel hospital, and the
best possible service will be given there,
in view of the limitations of room.
Health Officer Bjelland stated this
morning that if the people will do as
the. health department directs, they
will be as safe from infection as
though there. was no epidemic pre-
vailing. If people will take good care
along the lines that DR.. Bielland has
been urging they will not get the dis
ease.

Where Is the Street Force.
AID Eichstaedt wondered where the
city street force was working. lie had
not seen, them all summer, and it was
a mystery to him where they were.
Manure dumps that had been ordered
covered months ago had not been COW
cred yet.
Dr., Bielland said that he had them
covered Monday.
Aid. Eichstaedt said that at the
next meeting he would try to have
the street committee given power to
act and employ street commissioners
to 90 over the streets and make neces-
sary repairs, which was not being done
at present. The street roller ought to
be used, as it was a waste of money
to place cushed stone without rolling
it. f
The health officer asked about the
tub factory sewer. He had been after
it time and again. 1t should have
been built long ago.
Aid. Bradley said that the council
would he glad to do it, if it was
shown where to locate it. 1t would not
do to run it up hill.
Aid. Schroeder moved that the health
officer be authorized to employ two
men. and do all he can to stop the
outbreak Of disease, and this was car
ried.

"JAKE" IN HIS YOUNGER DAYS
Republican Candidate for Governor
Was a Popular Man.
From SATURDAYS Daily.


Western Guard: In Franklin and
community the proceedings of the state
republican convention, especially with
reference to the head of the ticket, We're
watched with intense interest and the
result hailed with general joy, es-
pecially among the old-t timers of town
and community.
Nearly all the pioneers of Franklin
and community have intimate personal
acquaintance with the man who is
now such a conspicuous figure in the
big affairs of the state. In the year
1871 Mr.. jacobson came down from
Lac qui Parle village to take charge
of a "horse power" threshing outfit
for his brother-in law, Halleck Peter
son, who resided in Camp town. Mr..
Jacobson managed the threshing outfit
for two falls and while here met Mary
Skarness, who subsequently became
his wife.
f'Jake" was then about twenty three
years of age and model of fine
physical manhood door wide shoulders,
a 1.-THE and graceful body and strong
screwed to an unusual degree. His
lcdlS COHIOl llCulSO uScu W cAClLt
the wonder and admiration of the
whole countryside and his capacity for
endurance seemed limitless.
In those days farmers used to eek
change work." that is, they used to
assist each other at threshing time,
and when the sturdy SWANS would
gather on the scene there was sure
to be contests in physical strength and
athletic ''stunts." That was where
young jacobson was a bright summary.
AT the close of a hard days work he
would turn summersault off the sep
arator and walk for rods on his hands,
to the great amusement of his fellow
threshers, while, maybe, some coy
maiden who helped in the culinary de-
partment looked on admiringly from
the Kitchen doorway.
Many are the "reminiscences which
one hears the pioneers tell about young
Jacobson's physical prowess shaws he
used to bound out of bed long before
dawn, turn Handspring" or two and
then wake the echoes with Norwegian
folk songs. With young and old he
was immensely popular, inspired by his
physical preference, his stout warm
heart and unfailing boisterous good
cheer.
Two years ago, when he came to
Franklin to make a speech in praise
of HIS successful rival for the nomi-
nation for governor, Mr.. Cole, Mr..
jacobson met most of his chums of
horsepower threshing machine days.
Thirty-seven years had not blurred his
memory; he called them all by name
and seemed sincerely glad to be able
to review old times with them. s'Can
you perform as many tricks now as
Won could in those days?" inquired
"Bandon Jack" Reagon. swell, Jack,
am not sure of that but / will admit
that 1 can't"
