Tntered in the postoffice at Bemidji, Minn., as second class matter, Official County and City Paper SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Check on Public Funds. Recent defalcations by public officials in this state emphasize the fact that in many instances there is no possible way to check public officials in handling public money. Where definite amcunts are to be paid into the county treasury, for instance, it is easy enough for the examiner to check butwhere the amount is indefinite a dishonest official may alter the duplicate receipt on file in the office and the alteration may not be discovered for years. This was the case with the deputy county treasurer of Stearns county whose peculations over a series of years was recently brought to light. A plan has been proposed by one of the states’s deputy public examiners which may remedy this condition of affairs. The plan is simply to haye anyone re- quired to pay money into the county treasury appear first be- fore the county auditor and ob- tain a statement, a duplicate of which is kept on file, showing the amount to be paid. Taking this to the treasurer’s office the tax- payer pays the amount specified. The duplicate receipt kept by the treasurer must then tally with that held by the auditor. Some such system as this is badly needed. The present sys- tem is unbusinesslike and offers a terrible temptation to the man with whom strict honesty is not a cardinal virtue. Such a provi- sion might save many a man from the first step toward wrongdoing. your choice. NTIL December 25th, I will offer my whole stock of Taxi- dermy Goods and Curios at greatly reduced prices.

No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- Dugh in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would.

The all important function of a newspaper is to print the news. What is the news? The news is what people want to know about, and it is the busi- ness of every newspaper to find out and to print, so far as may be consistent with public morality and public policy, the things that the people want to know about. In just the proportion that a -| newspaper does this is it a live up to date purveyor of news, and in just that proportionis it worth reading. In a lesser degree it is the function of the newspaper to instruct and to amuse, but the function of all functions of a newspaper is to print the things that the people want to know about. A good deal of the news that a newspaper prints is not so, or but partially true, and the same is true of the things we tell each other in private conversation, If we never told each other anything except what we knew to be abso- lutely so, there would be very little conversation in this world, and if the papers printed nothing but that of which - they have positive proof, nobody would think it worth while to read them. The news of the world is made up of fact, rumor, guesses. These are the things that it is the primary function of the news- paper to tell you. WiTH St. Paul and Minneapolis quarreling with themselves and each other as to who shall have the bone, this is a pretty good time for the country to go in and elect a senator of its own. SoMEBODY left undone the thing he should have done ' in Charleston, West Virginia, and innocent school children paid the penalty of his guilty neglect.

The Brooklyn Eagle says of Howard Brandon who appears as Carl Anderson, %The Man From Sweden’: ‘“He reminds oneso much of Emmett in his balmy days; always smiling and sin; ing and the audience always wait- ing for him to come on the stage. We couldn’t get enough of him; he seems to have that magnetic way of getting right into the hearts of his audience. The sturdy men have helped to make the Northwest a most prosperous country with their good citizen- ship are one of the characteris- tics of the play. The story tells of the misfortunes of the Jeffer- son family, the sale of the farm by mortgage, the act of a villian- ous lover who has been repulsed and stopped through the vigilance of the honestSwede. The trials of the Swede to use the American language makes the play most|E laughable. Besides being recog- nized as the only original and " | besc. Swedish dialect comedm.n on the American stage, Brandon has a-good smEmg voice and is an entertaining in- strumentalist. company were very good and when the vast audience filed out of the theatre there was smiles on every face and a laugh in their hearts.
