eELTRAMI INQUIRY PRESSED.
County Auditor First Of Accused ON
GERS to Face the Fire.

Bemidji.-The hearing of the
charges against County Auditor VIII
mann and Commissioners Wright, Sib-
ley and Danaher began before Com
missioner M. e. Ryan, of Brainerd-
Assistant Attorney General Smith was
present, having been appointed by
Governor Johnson to see that the
facts were properly developed.
The first matter taken up was
charge No. 1 against County Auditor
Wilmann for nonfeasance in Office
through neglect to record properly
the proceedings of the county board.
The books were introduced by the
state to substantiate its claims. E.E.
Mcdonald, of Bemidji, is attorney for
Wilmann and Danaher, and P. J. Rus
sell represents Wright.
M. F. Kahn, deputy public examiner,
was the first witness, and stated that
four roads had been established in
1907, none of which had been recorded
in the road record books of the coun-
ty, although books for this purpose
were kept on hand.
When cross-examined by Mr.. Nc
Donald an attempt was made to show
that the large amount of work re-
quired of the auditor made it impossi-
BILE for him to keep this record, and
that 1t was not the duty Of the audi.
tor to record the work according to
the statutes Of 1897 and the code Of
1905, which prescribes that commits
sioners may pay not to exceed 10
cents a folio for this work.
M. D. Stoner, former county sur.
veyor, testified that the roads in ques-
ton had been properly laid out and
the work done according to law.

STATE PRISON Is PRAISED.
Warden Jones, of Ohio, Speaks Highly
of Minnesota's System.

The manufacture of binder Irvine in
the state prison at Saltwater is the
finest means of employing prisoners
that l have ever seen," said T. H. B.
Jones, warden of the state peniten-
tiary at Columbus, Ohio, who is at the
West Hotel while stopping on his way
to the convention of prison wardens
at Seattle. Mr.. Jones spent a day at
the Minnesota state prison last week.
"The work of making the Irvine is
not physically hard upon the prison
ers," he continued. 1T makes excel
lent labor for them. 1t is also a great
thing for the state, as 1 was told at
the prison that the Irvine mill received
more orders than it could fill. 1t is
unusual for a state penitentiary to get
such good returns for the labor of it's
prisoners. The warden, Mr. Wolfer,
appeared to be very proficient man,
and the whole establishment showed
the results of his care and ability.
I'm Ohio we are having all kinds
of trouble to find employment for the
inmates of our penitentiary, as the
legislature has just ruled against all
prison products that interfere with the
articles manufactured by union labor.
We had about LOO prisoners when 1
left, and it was great problem to
find work to keep them busy
There is hope that conditions will
soon be better, however, as the legis-
lature will let us supply great many
of the needs of the other state insti-
buttons. In addition to this we will be
allowed to manufacture desks for pub
lie schools, which will keep a large
number at work.

Scattered through the line were nu-

Greeted with Cheers and Tears.
At the word of command the parade
marched west to Main street and
turned south down that thoroughfare,
proceeding seven blocks between solid
walls of cheering men, women and
children. AS the grizzled veterans
passed the enthusiasm was tremen-

When Seventh South street was

broke out in mighty cheering, for
there they turned in front of the most
beautiful feature of the day, the "Liv-

were $500 children dressed in the
national colors and so arranged that
they made perfect representation of

More Prevalent Than
Ever Before.

Winona.-Confront by thirty
cases Of infantile paralysis and a rap
idly increasing epidemic throughout
the suburban parts of this city, the
city council convened in extraordinary
session and ordered the streets of WI
mona to be sprinkled day and night.
Members of the health department
and physicians Of the city generally
agreed that the present epidemic ap-

posits of horses on the dry streets
Twelve years ago a sweeping cpl
demic of disease of almost the same
diagnosis affected horses in this vicin-
ity and has appeared since. From
this source it is believed the infection
Of the city has resulted.
The health department here was in
communication by wire with the au-
thorities at Eau Claire, Wis, where
an epidemic was suffered last year.
Eau Claire said that they had sprin-
killed. the streets when confronted with
the epidemic, which included about
100 cases, but were not prepared to
say that the sprinkling stayed the cpl
demic.
The city health department pre-
sented map indicating where the
thirty-two cases in the city are To-
Gated, demonstrating that only one
case was within the daily sprinkling
districts.
Sprinkling Permits.
Thirty of the cases are in the outly-
ing districts, some outside the city
limits, and the local health board used
this coincidence as an argument that
sprinkling of the streets seemed to
prevent the disease.
There has been no rain in this city
for month, and the streets are dry
and dusty, the wind catching the rub
bish on the pavements and blowing it
over playing children and even into
homes. 1t is the intention to sprinkle
the streets day and night until rain
falls.
The disease here seems to appear in
the evening when the child is going to
bed as a fever. This fever turns to
chill. The caild is naturally given
much water. In the morning the low.
er limbs are paralyzed. The disease
here has attacked only children under
sixteen years of age and appears only
in July and August.

Purchase of Thirty Additional Acres
Authorized by lverson.

Mankato.-As a result of a visit to
the state public park at Minneopa by
State Auditor Iverson, several i'm
provements will be made His visit
was for the purpose of investigating
the purchase of about thirty acres ad-
ditional land, which will increase the
size of the park to trifle over one
hundred acres. The park never
looked prettier, and Mr.. Iverson left
orders for the purchase of the addi-

to secure the old roadbed of the
Omaha railway for an auto track to
the park, and it was decided to pipe
the water from a flowing artesian
well half a mile distant into the park
for the use of visitors.
