u is stated amounts to about $4,000.
The bank recently had experts from
an audit company Of New York go
through the books and papers. and
when this report was submitted. : q
copy was sent to the guarantee COM
pany. and a demand made for the
amount OF the bond, $4,000. Prosecu-
tion of the alleged embezzler was not
started. however. until ten days ago.
owing to the fact that his arrest was
held up pending q possible settlement
Of the matter by relatives. and 1t is
possible that for this reason the repre-

Texas, Alabama and Mississippi,
Sheriff James c. Van Pelt Of this city
is to receive no compensation for
this service, not even his railroad fare.
This has been decided by the Board
Of County Commissioners, upon adj
vice OF their attorney, to whom the
sheriff presented his bill for mileage
ct the rate Of five cents per mile and
per diem, the total aggregating about
$500. The reason is that the laws OF
Florida providing for the payment OF
costs bills. provides that where the
party named In the warrant placed in
the hands of q sheriff or constable is
delivered to the county, the sheriff or
constable shall receive whatever mile |
age he has Travelled. No mention |
whatever is made OF trip where the |
sheriff fails 20 return with a prison |
er, and consequently the commission
ers will not pay the bill, even though |
the party was arrested In Texas, and |
prevented his return by habeas corpus
proceedings.

HOUSE FOR AUTOS|
J. A. Caughren Makes Improve
ments on His Property
CONCRETE STRUCTURE
EreCts a Convenient and CommOd-
ious Building to Shelter Ills
Two HOrSeIeSS Vehicles

J. A. Caughren has recently made
some valuable improvements on his
property in this city.
AS previously announced in The
Herald, Mr.. Caughren purchased two
automobiles, a Pierce-Arrow and a
Buck runabout. To accommodate
these machines Mr.. Caughren built
an auto house constructed of concrete
and also an addition to his barn.
The auto house is constructed of
concrete resting on a stone founda-
tion 1t stands 1Sx22 feet and is
l. feet high. The structure is used
to house the big six cylinder Pierce
Arrow, the largest machine in Sauk
Centre. This building is equipped with
every modern appliance and con.
venience necessary in an automobile
garage. 1t has electric lights, water
and the many things required by
the modern horseless vehicle to
keep it in proper condition.
The barn, which stands near by,
has been enlarged so as to make
room for the Buick runabout, in ad-
dition to Mr.. Caughren's horses and
three carriages, for he has not al
together discarded good old Dobbin.
Mr.. Caughren's house stands on a
corner so approaches from two streets
is arranged. Mr.. Caughren has had
built a driveway of concrete leading
in each direction from the auto house
and barn, so that each street can
be reached conveniently, thus max
ing it unnecessary to turn a ma
chine or carriage around. All that
lis necessary is simply to enter the
spacious grounds by one street and
leave them by the other. 1t is a
very convenient mode of ingress and
egress.
Although Mr.. Caughren has owned
his automobiles but short time,
yet he is already one of the most en-
thusiastic devotees of the machine in
the city, using it on all possible oc-
casionS

CONCERNING WOMEN
Items of Interest to the Fair Sex
Cleaned from Different Sour
CcS

The California State Federation of
Womcn's Clubs has endorsed the ef-
fort to secure school suffrage for
the women of that state.
Miss Minnie A. Tyler has just been
reelected town clerk of South Lon
donderry, Vermont. Miss Tyler has
served twelve successive terms in
this office, which was also held by
her father and grandfather.
The city of Portland, Maine, now
has three women on the school board,
two women on the board of over
seers, one woman policeman, who
is also agent for the state board of
protection Of children, a woman as
assistant city clerk and woman as
city librarian.
Miss Jessie Ackerman has just made
her sixth tour around the world.
In speaking of Australia where wo-
men have full suffrage she says;
Since l was last in Australia wo-
men have the franchise. In the
mining districts l found that the min
ers' wives took the keenest interest
in political questions and were ready
to talk politics intelligently even at
the washtub.''
Cornelius Roach, candidate fo1 the
Democratic nomination for Secretary
Of State of Missouri, and editor OF
the Carthage Democrat, in a recent
address before the Missouri Press
Association, was roundly applauded by
the editors when he said: "A mea-
sure that will have a tendency to
make the newspaper indispensable in
more American homes will be the
adoption of woman suffrage, senti-
ment much nearer enactment to law
than any of us realize"

CUTS TAX LEVY
County Board Makes Levy Less by
$4,000 Than That of the Pre-
ViOuS Year.

The Stearns county commissioners,
in session at st. Cloud this week,
made Q levy of $44, 200 for county ex-
penses for next year. This is $4,000
lowerthan the levy for last year. The re-
duction in the price paid for the coun-
ty printing, due to tothecombined efforts
of eight county papers, The Herald in
cluded, that are outside Of the county
"ring" controlled by the Times and
Der Nordstern, caused the sum of
$500 to be Topped off from the levy.
The county is now in good financial
condition.

WHERE BRooMs COME FROM.

Best Made in IIIinois-Brush Produced
Also in Kansas and Oklahoma.
illinois furnishes the aristocratic
brooms for the world, the highest
grade brushes being grown in our
state" said Valentine w. Kenger,
manufacturer of Chicago.
Kansas produces the cheaper
brush and most of it is shipped in
bales to Illinois to be manufactured in
the numerous broom factories. The
broom corn district of Illinois is con-
fined principally to the central sec
tion, the counties Of Douglas, Coles
and Moultrie producing nine-tenths of
the total crop. 1t is estimated that
the crop in the United States this
season will aggregate 50,000,000
brooms, valued at fully $10,OO0,000.
ITO move this great product would
require 200 trains of over fifty cars
each, aggregating 100 miles of brooms.
The broom corn crop in Central ILL.,
nois this year produced material for
100000 to 100000 brooms. The
brooms grown and manufactured in
Illinois are the fancy kind, that retail
for from rs to 40 cents.
Down in Oklahoma they raise a
coarser grade of brush, sufficient to
manufacture about 25,O00,000 brooms
of the kind that sell for from Is to rs
cents each. Kansas has about 5,000,-
900 brooms to its credit, and there are
some brushes grown in Missouri, Ten
nessee and Arkansas. Kansas favors
dwarf variety of broom corn, which
is preferable for whiskbrooms. In
fact, Kansas raises material for nearly
all the whiskbrooms used in the United
States.
Nearly all the high grade brooms
are consumed in this country, the ex-
ports being generally of the cheaper
quality. The people of Europe in most
instances stick to the old style brooms
of twigs. They look askance at the
modern American broom."-Washing-
