More Than Two Hundred
Families Take Up Quarters
Outdoors for Annual Chau-

Chautauqua is on.

ChautauQua Is on.
Merchant deliveries, moving vans,
automobiles and other vehicles we're
bgain pressed into service today and
the van Of campers moved their out
fits to the Chautauqua grounds.
More than 200 new white tents
stood in readiness this morning to re-
ceive the transient residents. The
moving started early. Old furniture,
beds, carpets, cooking utensils, tin
buckets and basins made up the bulk
of the loads which were carried to the
grounds.
Not a few of the campers will live
in camp luxury. In the last few years,
camps have become less and less
camp like. Being under canvas is the
only suggestion some of the campers
have that they are camping. Only a
few Of the conveniences of a home
are missing.
Plan Late ReveIs.
BY midnight tomorrow night prac-
tically the whole population of the
white city will be installed for the
two weeks. At this hour of the first
night, few will be asleep however. The
annual novelty of the first night will
hold sway. The grounds will be alive

There was further slaughter of Ger
mans at Colfaekin, the officials of the
war ministry say.
Although a great number Of the Bel
gian soldiers had never been under
fire before, they fought bravely. The
war office statement says that the
Belgian casualties were light, owing
to the entertainments which gave~the
defenders excellent protection.
Fighting between Belgians and the
German army that is advancing toward
Antwerp is going on almost within
sound of the Belgian capital. Couriers
from the front brought word today
that the forces are engaged near
Diest, which is only IS miles southeast
of Antwerp.
Although worn out by their days Of
constant fighting, long marches and
lack of food, the soldiers of the army
of invasion are reported to be show
ing splendid heroism.
Sleep on Battlefield.
Both armies bivouaced upon the
field of battle, sleeping upon their
arms SO as to be ready for a renewal
of the conflict at dawn.
Despite the claims of the Be1gians
that they have had all the advantages
of the fighting, the fact is obvious that
the advancing host, which, in it's en-
tirety is said to number 100000 men,
has been able to make it's way for
ward against the opposition of the
Belgians and their allies.
These 100000 men make up nearly
the whole of the right wind of the
grand German army, which lies in
Belgium, Luxembourg and Lorraine.
So far in the fighting the main force
of the German army has not been en-
gagged, according to the best informa-
ton obtainable here today. Only
cavalry, light artillery and a few in
fantry men upon extreme northern
end of the German army has been in
contact with the allies.
Another dispatch from the theatre
of action shows that the German army
north of the Meuese is stretched out
in two lines leading southwark from
Diest One extends in a southeasterly
direction through Verviers; the other
extends in a southwesterly direction
toward Namur.
Lack Provisions.
The advance troops of the Germans
are suffering from lack of provisions.
After the fighting at Diest, and Hazel
en-, on Thursday scores of German
cavalry horses were found dead with
out a wound upon their bodies. They
had dropped from starvation, and over
exertiOn.
Although no official estimate of the
dead in the fighting between Eghezee
and Diest, had been made by the
Belgian war office at the time this
dispatch was written, it can be said
that the slaughter was heavy. At
some points the brunt of the fighting
fell upon Belgian militia forces, the
members of which until a fortnight
ago, were staid business men or
peaceful workmen in factories.

cAReAJAL At VERA CRUZ.

VERA CRUZ, Aug. 14.-Francisco
Carbajal, who succeeded Gen. Huerta
as president of Mexico, is under the
protection of the United States today.
A strong guard surrounds the hotel
Diligencia, where Carbajal took up his
quarters last night on his arrival from
the capital and it will be kept there
until he sails for Europe. There have
been no demonstrations against the
fugitive provisional president, but Gen.
Funston will take no chances Of an at
tempt being made on his life.
Senior Carbajal said today that he
was very glad to get away from the
capital. He presented no resignation,

been dissolved.

behind their forty-mile firing line, is
question which the Belgian war
office would like to have answered. 1t
is believed, however, that they are
throwing forward heavy mass of in
fantry, the advance being slightly de-
layed; by lack of supplies. Before
falling back in the district in cenral
Belgium, now occupied by the Ger
mans, the Belgian forces burned all
the supplies they could not carry away
with them.
German Advance Heavy.
Dispatches from the Belgian gen.
erals at the front which were receiv.
ed throughout the night, say that the
flying squadron, which the Germans
threw forward at Diest on Tuesday
and Wednesday must have consisted
of about 10000 men, composed of cav.
of infantry.
The Belgian force which opposed the
Germans consisted of a cavalry di
vision with mixed brigade of regu.
lar infantry, militia and mounted in
fantrymen. The Belgians were sup
ported by battery of mitrailleuses
and other quick firing guns. The evil
dent intention of the German force
was to turn the Belgian army. The
troop movements were detailed as fol
lows:
The German drew up at Hasselt
about 40 miles north of Liege. From
that point they marched northwest
ward along the roads leading through
Stevoort and Hercklaville. They en-
counted detached bodies of Belgians
who fled because of the overwhelm
ing number of Germans. When about

Road and Town Revenue

Next Tuesday is town meeting day
and the Union would once more urge
that there be large turnout of
voters and that liberal provision b,
made for the improvement and up
keep of roads. AS stated in these
columns couple of weeks ago the
maximum road tax that can be
voted at town meeting is Is mills.
The tax must be voted in specific
amounts, but the amount voted in
any town cannot exceed what a Is
mill tax would produce.
For town purposes a tax OF two
mills may be voted in towns having
a valuation of S100,0 or over; in
towns with a valuation of less than
800, 900 an amount may be voted not
to exceed $3.50, and in no event shall
the tax rate for town purposes ex-
coed five mills on the dollar.

Whv the Law Was Changed.

1t is unnecessary to publish a
village treasurer's report and the
law does not require that it should
be published. The treasurer is re-
quired to make out and file with the
clerk of the village at least two
weeks before the annual election a
detailed statement Of his receipts
and disbursements, and the clerk is
required to prepare and publish a
detailed statement showing the exact
financial condition of the village.
The treasurer report can only show
his receipts and disbursements. The
clerk IS report must show the orders
issued, the orders issued and unpaid,
the outstanding indebtedness, the
resources of the village, etc. In
short the clerk s statement must ac-
curately show the financial condition
of the village. Until the enactment
of the 1911 law, which was fathered
by the writer, the clerk of a village
was not required to make and pub
lish any statement, and the tax
payers of village had no means Of
ascertaining the financial condition
of the village.

The State Auditorship.

The formal announcement of j. A I.
O.. Preus as a candidate for state
auditor few days ago was not at all
unexpected by those who have kept
in touch with the political situation
in the state.
It has been known for some time
back that the Ed Smith machine has
been grooming Preus for the place
and the announcement Of his candi-
dacy was no surprise It has been
given out that Mr.. Preus has been
induced to enter the race because of
the demand for his candidacy on the
part Of the newspapers Of the state.
We. have kept q pretty close watch
upon the leading country papers Of
the state, but we have as yet noted
no pressing demand for the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Preus. for that position.

A Terrific Storm.


= A destructive storm reaching from
Eastport, Maine, to Florida, with
cold wave from the Great Lakes,
overspread the Atlantic states on
Sunday and Monday. The wind
reached a velocity of "a miles an
hour in New York and New Jersey
and II inches Of snow fell. The
damage to property will reach hun
dreds of thousands of dollars and a
score or more of people lost their
lives. Vessels were driven ashore at
a number of places along the At
'lantic coast and some of them COM
pletely wrecked.
Minnesota has been particularly
fortunate in escaping the numerous
storms which ragged around her this
winter, but she is usually lucky.

tits a well known fact that the
Smith organization has been con-
sidering the feasibility Of capturing
the authorship ever since Samuel
Iverson announced his gubernatorial
candidacy, and it finally decided to
do SO, and Mr.. Preus was likewise
decided upon as the man to make
the run for the place. AS a matter
Of fact the only great demand which
has come upon Mr.. Preus for the
place has come from Ed Smith and
his machine associates. They want
to control the office.
The only question in the matter
is whether the people of Minnesota
want to hand it over to the machine
as the governorship has been handed
over.
In Henry Rines of Mora, speaker
Of the last house of the legislature,
the people of Minnesota have a strong
candidate and man, who if chosen
for that Office will administer it in
their interests rather than in the in
terest Of the special interests which
the machine stands for. Mr.. Rines
is man with a wide acquaintance
of public affairs and well fitted to
administer the duties of this i'm
portant office, and best of all he will
not wear Ed Smiths collar.
Again it is. up to the people to
decide whether they or the machine
shall control the affairs of the state
government. Albert Lea Times

State Road and Bridge Fund.

AS required by law the state
highway commission met at ST. Paul
Tuesday to apportion the state
road and bridge fund among the
several counties of the state. Under
the law the minimum amount that
can be apportioned to each county is
one per cent of the fund, and as there
are Sc counties in the state one per
cent to each county would use up SO
per cent of the fund, leaving only IA
per cent to be distributed among the
larger and most deserving counties.
There were delegations from more
than a score of counties present at
the meeting of the commission
clamoring for a share of the II per
cent. The commission was in session
all day yesterday and did not con-
clude it's labors until late in the af-
ternoon
The minimum amount awarded to
o county was $4,000. AS special
recognition of the services Of r. G.
Dunn in behalf of good roads legisla-
tion, Mile Laos county was given
two per cent which amounts to
1928, 900.
Mr.. Dunn Was not present to i'm
perfume the commission, and he
heartily appreciates this voluntary
and generous action.

VILLAGE STATEMENT
Showing the Receipts and Expendi-
lures for the Year Ending
February 23rd, 1914.
The Net Indebtedness of the Village
Was Reduced $I,623.73 Dur
ing the Past Year. .-..-

Elsewhere in this issue appears the
financial statement of the village
and the water, light and building
commission from February p, 1913,
to February %: 1914. During the
year the net indebtedness of the
village has been reduced $l,623.73.
A new pump was installed for pump
ing into the city water tank at a
cost of over $4,000, and there is
81, 900 less in saloon license money
this year than there was last. There
was also 800 of old bridge warrants
paid during the year. 1t would
have been gratifying if the reduc-
ton of the net indebtedness had
been larger, but small reduction
is better than none at all.
The water and lighting plant is an
expensive proposition, and it is to
be hoped that a material reduction
will be made in the operating ex-
penses of the same the ensuing year.
OF course, the plant must be kept
in running order and the cost OF
maintenance is high. But a de-
termined effort should be made to
reduce the running expenses of the
light and water plant.
The main stems of expense, out
side of the water and light plant,
were as follows: Old bridge
warrants, s700: police, S647.S0;
streets and bridges, S1,169.S7: fire
department, $570.86: team account,
SS9947; interest, S433.83.
This year Main and Depot streets
should be improved their entire
length. The improvement of these
streets is an imperative necessity.
The streets can be improved without
incurring any further bonded indebt-
edness. In any event the streets
should be- improved: especially SO
when not more than half of the ex-
pense would be bourne by the
village.
