From SATURDAYS Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The following communications rel
,ative to the 5000 appropriated by
the board of county commissioners
for county advertising purposes:
st. Paul, Mimi, February 10, 1912
Edgar Weaver, .Mankato, Mimi
Dear Sir: In the proceedings of the
special meeting held on the 7th OF
February appears a resolution to ap
propriate 5000 to aid in the county
and city advertising book.
We know of no authority for such
an appropriation and would be pleas
ed if you would advise us upon what
statute same was made. Very truly
yours, Andrew E. Fritz, public exam
liner.
To this Mr.. Weaver replied:
Mankato, Mimi, February 20, 1912
Hon. Andrew e. Fritz, Public Elk
aminer, st. Paul, MINI. Dear Sir:
Answering yours of yesterday.
You ask about the 5000 appropri-
ated towards advertising. It's a
matter in which the county is di.
rectly interested. The initiative was
undertaken by the Commercial club
and city and the county board de-
cided it would be very glad to fur
nish the money that would advertise
the county. The board does not
claim that this was done under any
statute, simply a matter that must
prove beneficial to the county and
the money we'll invested. Yours
truly, Edgar Weaver, county auditor.
Mr. Weaver stated today that ION
the afternoon of the 21st about
four o'clock the public examiner
telephoned Mr.. Kennedy, my deputy
Gas | had left the office) saying:
Tell Mr.. Weaver to not pay that
money for advertising under any
that he would be
here within week or ten days.

REGARDING THAT 5000 one L..C. WILLIS JAILED
He Was Found Guilty OF a Mis-
demeanor at kasota;
His Case.

From Saturdays Daily.
L. C. Willis, with various aliases,
was arrested at Kasota Thursday
evening at the instance of Fred
Johnson. From the evidence produced
it appears that the defendant was
taking subscriptions for number
of periodicals, including Mime
apolis newspaper. The management
of that paper was notified and two
members of it's business staff came
to Kasota to appear as witnesses
against the defendant. He claimed
that he was taking orders for firm
in New York city and donating the
Minneapolis paper with an order for
or purchase of other periodicals or
papers and collecting from the pur-
chasers from three dollars to four
dollars and half, according to the
name of the paper
The testimony of the Minneapolis
newspaper representative, +. l..
Sturr, brought out the fact that they
had no representatives in New York
city who were delegated to employ
agents for his paper. It appears
that the defendant has been work
ing his game" rather successfully
in LIE Sueur county, as there were
parties present at the trial from
Cleveland and other villages who
claim to have been "fleeced" out OF
different amounts,
The defendant was .arraigned be-
fore Justice F. L. Warrant yester.
day afternoon and F. j. Hanzel, the
county attorney of LIE Sueur county,
was present to conduct the case for
the state. The defendant pleaded
not guilty to a charge Of selling ar
ticles under false pretenses. He de-
Tended his own case, but from EVIL
dence produced there was NO doubt
in the mind of Justice, Warrant as
to his having committed a misde-
meanor He was sentenced to serve
ninety days in the lie Sueur county
Jail without the privilege OF paying
a fine.

MenoeIss In the English Army.

About century ago British army
order was issued forbidding officers to
wear eyeglasses or spectacles. But a
shortsighted officer belonging to q
crack cavalry regiment had no mind
to resign his commission or stumble
blindly, and he invented the single
eyeglass. When called to account by
the authorities he claimed that the
monocle, being OF the singular num-
Der, did not contravene the order
against spectacles and glasses in the
plural. Red tape accepted this literal

Governor Eberhart is without friends

"These untrue and misleading ar.

the views of the republican voters

of this city or county. In fact, it
is generally understood that the au.
thorship of at least one of these So
called interviews has been repu.
dated.
Thinking voters understand, that
the gloomy prophesies as to what
the voters of this county are going
to do to the governor, sound too
much like the animosities of mis-
guided, or interested politicians,
whose political fortunes or misfor-
tunes, have been affected by the

and are not to be taken at all seri-
ously.
These same political seers~ en-.
gagged in the interesting pastime OF
telling us in advance, during the
last campaign, that the governor
could not carry this county; still
he carried the county by big ma
jority, and also carried every county
in the state.
"The voters of this county have
consistently refused to permit any
one to tell them, in advance, how
to vote. This they will continue to
do to such extent that when the
votes are counted, they will agalh

consideration which it deserves be-
