Mr. McDonald received three votes and the other two votes on the board went to Henry Funkley.

W'DONALD IS COUNTY ATTORNEY Elected at Meeting of Board of County Commissioners----Funkley Got Two Votes. made a speech of acceptance, in which he promised to fulfill the duties of the position to the best of his ability and thanked the board for the confidence they had placed in him. The bond of the county attor- uney was placed at $2,000, and Mr. McDonald immediately pre- pared the bond and has filed it with the county auditor, Another meeting of the board is now being held at which the routine business is being trans- acted, Itis probable that this meeting will last for several days, as much business is to be dispos- ed of. TO ISSUE NEW BONDS| City Council Will Call Spec- ial Election to Vote on Proposition. PURPOSE TO TAKE UP OUT- STANDING INDEBTEDNESS. Bonds Formerly Yoted by Citizens Not Negotiable and New Ones Are Necessary. A special election for the pur- pose of issuing bonds in the sum of $10,000 will be called by the city council in the near future. At the meeting of the city council last night a committee consisting of Councilmen Graham and Bow- ser was appointed Lo asccrtain the amount of the city’s out- standing indebtedness, and as soon as the report of this com- mittee has been made to the city council the date for the special election will be set. It is believed that the amount of old orders now outstanding is approximately $10,000, and the election will be held for the pur- pose of securing money with which to pay these orders, some of which have run for a number of years. It will be remembered that some months ago a special elee- tion was held for the purpose of voting $10,000 bords to be used for the same purpose for which the bonds now to be yoted will be used, The bonds carried, but it was found that investment com panies refused to buy them, as it was claimed by the bond attorneys that the election had not been held regularly. ¢ Improvementsat Northome. Work on the waterworks sys- tem at Northome will commence this week, according to a promi- nent Northome man who was in the city today. The pumping engine, mains and other material to be used in the system is al- ready on the ground. A steel water tower is to be constructed 70 feet in height and upon this will rest the tank, which will be 20x24 feet in size, Peter McHugh leaves this evening for Gemmell, where he will remain for some time on business.

The aggregation will arrive in the city tonight from the west and the tents will be pitched on the lot at the old base ball grounds between Amer- ica and Irvine avenues. The Gollmar Bros.’ shows are said to be among the largest and most up-to-date in the world, and the performances tomorrow will no doubt give entire satisfaction.

The show will be given in three rings, and will consist of acts by the celebrated European Petit family, acrobatic marvels; the Landowne troupein plastic poses, the Maxwell Nelson troupe of aerialists; besides many other new and startling features.

Anderson, presid‘enb of the Kandiyohi County Drainage As- sociation, John Feig, county com- missioner; Henry Feig and B. F. Jenness. ¢ The Crow River ditch has fora long time been in an uncomplete condition. To finish it will mean a {otal investment of $10,000 to $12,000 the greater part of which will be furnished by Kandiyohi county, whose lands will be most benefitted. The drainage commission alsc received a petition from Kast Graund Forks asking to have the Morris ditch in Polk county en- larged. Because of lack of further funds the board was un- able to grant the request at this time. FROHN ITEMS.
