REMOTE PRECINCTS MUST MAIL
ELECTION RETURNS.

There seems to have been considerable
doubt as to the distance for which mileage
may be collected by the election judges
in calling for the ballots previous to the
election and the delivery of the returns
to the county auditor when the ballots
have been counted. One of the county
auditors appealed to the state public
examiner for an opinion, and Andrew E..
Fritz in answering explains that the law
provides that where the polling place is
mote than ten miles from the auditors
office, he shall send the ballots and
supplies to village and town clerks, and
judges Of election in unorganized towns,
by registered mail or express. If the
polling place is within ten miles of the
auditors office, then such clerks and
judges may 60 there to receive the ballots
and supplies and receive one dollar and
mileage therefor. Those persons re-
ceiving ballots and supplies by mail are
not allowed any compensation therefor.
In making returns the same distance
limit applies, SO that where the polling
place is within ten miles Of the auditors
Office the judges may make the returns
in person and receive compensation at the
! same rate as above. Otherwise these
documents must be mailed, the officer
being allowed one dollar and mileage to
the nearest post Office.

LAFAYETTE FARMER HAS MIX
WITH BUZZ SAW.

While helping around a circular saw
used for cutting wood On the S. M.
Swenson farm in Lafayette last Wednes-
day, Chas. D. Erickson took on the saw
for one-round go. The result was a
complete victory for the machine, and
Mr.. Erickson came off with badly
lacerated leg and foot. He had at
tempted to kick away a lot of sawdust
which had accumulated under the
machine, but misjudged the distance and
came in contact with the sharp teeth.
The felt boot and rubber overshoe
which he wore were cut into shreds and
mixed with the flesh and broken pieces
OF bone. The attending physician took
twelve stitches to close the wound.
Although it will take Mr.. Erickson a
long time before he can again make any
use Of his leg it is not thought that there
will be any more serious consequences
Or permanent disability.

CREDIT TRICKSTERS AT WORK.
Farmers Duped Into Purchase of
Stock Later Found Valueless
BY Investors.

Farmers throughout the country seem
to have been victimized by smooth
tongued agents of so-called cooperative
investment companies and while the
companies themselves may not come
under the ban of the post Office depart
ment, it is possible that civil actions will
be started against them unless they mend
the ways of their agents. A number of
the victims have reported the matter
to the federal department of agriculture
and warning is now being sent out as a
result.
In some of these letters the complaint
is made that the agents selling the stock
make misrepresentation as to when
loans may be obtained by subscribers
and that the companies later disclaim
responsibility for the statements made
by the agents. In number of instances,
farmers seem to have gained the idea
from the agent that they would be able
to secure loans within relatively short
time, and express disappointment on
realizing that they must wait for an in
definite period for the promised loan and
60 on making payments just the same
on the stock which they have agreed to
take.
Where farmers are confronted with a
proposition of this character, they should
first read the prospectus and the contract
very carefully and make sure that they
know exatly what these mean, especially
the contract. If the contract is so
Worded that it's meaning is not clear after
careful reading, this in itself should be
reason enough for extra caution. The
agents explanation of the contract is not
part of the contract, nor is his promise
that the company will do things not
specified in the contract by any means
sure to be recognized by the company.
Farmers ought, first, to find out what
provision has been made for the pro-
lection of the interests of subscribers,
either through responsible Government
supervision over the activities of the
company, or in any other way, and if
they are in doubt they should consult
competent advisors with regard to the
responsibility Of the company before pay
ing over, or agreeing to pay over, their
own good money. Always, in the matter
of subscription to stock in any kind of a
company, they should exercise caution.

NEW OVERSEER APPOINTED
Commissioners Name c. N. WAL
bert AS Successor To Late Arnold
Gulden At Poor Farm

= G. N. Walbert was chosen by the
board of county commissioners as sue
cessor to the late Arnold Gulden as over.
seer of the poor farm and his salary was
set at $3.50 per month out of which the
the new overseer must pay the hired
girl generally employed at the poor farm
The salary paid the former overseer was
$4,000 per month, but the county also
paid the hired girls wages amounting
to $40. The position was one much
sought for and dozen or more applica-
lions were considered by the board.
The board also made quite saving
in the salary of the county physician
over the amount paid out in former
years. A few years ago the several
physicians who were called to attend
county patients drew something over
$4,000 for their services, but a year age
this was cut down to $1,000 by the ap-
pointment of county physician and
the fixing of the salary at that figure
Dr. y. j. Seltert being the appointee.
This year the job of county physician
went to the lowest bidder, DR.. J. H.
Vogel, for $3.50 per year, and he will
have to attend to the calls in the first
and third commissioner districts and
furnish the necessary medicines. The
other bidders for the position were DR..
Seifert and DR.. Schoch, the former bid
ding $3.50 and the latter $500.
The sum of $500, was appropriated
for the Brown County Agricultural So
ciety for improvements contemplated
at the fair grounds during the present
year. Messrs. "A. J. Vogel and J. A.
Ochs appeared before the board on be-
half of the society.

EVENLY MATCHED CONTESTS
ROLLED ON cONcoRDIA CLUB
ALLEYS.
MERCHANTS HANG UP PRIZES
FOR LEADERS IN VARIOUS
EVENTS.

More than fifty local bowling enthu-
siasts participated in the handicap
tournament rolled on the Concordia Club
alleys from Thursday afternoon until
Sunday evening and although the match
passed off good-naturedly there was a
keen rivalry for first honors in the singles,
doubles and fve-men events. The
scratch men of whom there were about
rs had to 60 at top speed because of the
handicaps given those bowlers whose
average during the past season had been
below 100. Some of the lesser lights
among the bowling fraternity entered the
contest with as many as rs to 80 pins
already to their credit, but Stelljes and
Winkelmann, the former with handicap
of GO and the latter with rs were the
only ones to land among the first five in
the singles, Seifert, HUM and H. Dahms,
all scratch men, being the other three.
The handicap men had better luck in the
doubles where Hackbarth and Mueller
and H. Grussendorf and Bierbaum topped
the list, with the two scratch cracks,
Wicherski and Waibel in third place.
In the fve-men event the Old Spavs with
their total handicap of 1913 pins held the
Trailers to their title and walked away
with first money.
Although the entrance fees were d.
vided among the prize winning teams
there were enough special prizes offered
by the merchants of the city to make
the tournament of interest to even the
poorest of the bowlers as we'll as the best.
The cash prizes apportioned by the
committee having the match in charge
were as follows: ~~ r.

LITTLE INTEREST =.
IN CITY ELECTION
FIRST WARD CONTEST ONLY ONE
TO LEND EXCITEMENT TO
EVENT.
NO SUITABLE CANDIDATE APP
PEARS AS SUCCESSOR TO
MUELLER.

Prospective candidates for city Offices
will have to hurry if they want to get
their names on the ballots for the regular
spring election, as the time limit in which
candidates may file their petitions will
expire next Saturday, March 25th. Up
to the present time but very little in
terest has been taken in the choosing of
new city officials as there is only one
contest to be decided, that being between
Herman Nagel and Fred Behnke, can
didates for aldermanic honors in the First
Ward.
Mayor Fritsche has clear field for
reelection as had been anticipated at the
time he made up his mind to be can
didate for the Office again. The same
applies to City Treasurer Oswald and
City Clerk Backer, the latter serving his
first term as city official. The two
JUSTICES of the peace, N. Henningsen and
Col. J. Buschers, also seem to have
clear field for reelection
Several candidates are said to be in
the field for Office of constable, but as no
petitions have been circulated it will be
necessary for the voter to write the name
of his favorite candidates upon the blank
space left for that purpose on the ballot.
No new candidates have sprung up in
the third ward, where a successor to F.
H. Retzlaff is to be elected and it seems
Christ Filzen will have clear field at the
polls. There had been some talk of
another candidate but friends of Mr..
Filzen have urged that he be given
chance to show that he is of aldermanic
calibre and the several names which had
been suggested have been withdrawn
Tie choosing of successor to Alder
man Mueller in the Third Ward is still
an unsolved problem. Mr.. Mueller an
nounces positively that he will not stand
for reelection and SO far there has been
no one suggested who is willing to neglect
his business or personal affairs for the
empty honor of representing the ward
in the council. There seem to be several
factions in this ward, each waiting for the
other TO make the first move in the
naming of a candidate and in order to
restore peace and harmony it has been
suggested to let election go by default
and return Mr.. Mueller to the council
whether he wants the Job or not.
Election day will be April 18th this
year. The first and only registration day
has been set for Tuesday, March 18th, at
which time the judges Of election will be
at the several polling places for the
registration of those voters whose names
Go not appear on the present list of
qualified voters.
