The special meetihg of the board of county commissionors adjourned yesterday afternoon after transact- ing considerable business. A resolution was passed submit- ting to the voters at the general election in November the question of changing from the “county poor system” to the ‘“‘township poor system.” The board has discussed this for some time and believe that the township system is better for the county and that the poor will be taken care of, under the township system much cheaper than they are being taken care of under the pres- ent county system. They claim that the résidents of each township know better the requirementssfor the poor than do the county com- missioners. Anyway, this will be one of the questions the voters will be asked to decide in Nouember. One hundred and fitty dollars was apportioned out of the road and - bridge fund for road work in the Township of Spooner and $100 to the Town of Turtle River. Two policies of insurance on the county poor farm buildings, written by the T. J. Miller Agency, were accepted. The school petition of residents of a certain part of the Town of Lammers was set for hearing August 25, The township of Redby was or- ganized out of territory known as Township No. 151-33. Several applications for abatement of taxes were acted upon and a large amount of bills passed. Store Closed Tomorrow.

WHOLE COUNTRY IS THE BATTLEGROUND Chalrman Mack Says No Sec- tion Will Be Neglocted. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 5—Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic national committee, has in contempla- tion plans that he believes will result in one of the most active campaigns undertaken by the party in a presi- dential contest. Chairman Mack will remain here for several days before going to Chi- cago. While here he will go over the reports of the general situation sent to him and develop certain lines .of battle for the presidential contest. Mr. Mack said: “The situation as I found it in this stdte and, in fact, in all the Eastern states has been most gratifying. The responsiveness of the Democratic leaders in the East to the call of duty denotes a campaign that will be fought vigorouely to a successful con- clusion. Plans are in contemplation for a forceful campaign throughout the country, but of these I can say nothing at this time. All parts of the country i8 our battleground and no one section will be neglected. Every- thing augurs well for the election of Williaza J. Bryan.” FREE TRADE CONGRESS. International Convention in Session at London. London, Aug. 5.—The international free trade congress was opened in this city with Lord Welby in the chair. Delegates were present from the United States, France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Denmark and Italy. In his address of welcome Lord Wel- by said the prospects for free trade were somewhat gloomy and that the idea of protection was advancing in an aggressive manner, but in spite of this tke policy of free trade ultimate- Jy must prevail. “Free Trade and Its Bearings on International Relations,” the subject for discussion at the first session of the congress, was intro- duced by Winston Churchill, president of the board of trade, who argued that Great Britain was an object lesson. Bhe had pursued the free trade policy, yot she remained prosperous and pow- erful and it had been found that Brit- 1sh goods entered all other countries on as good terms as were secured by any nation by the most elaborate use Without customs duties, except on a few articles, the oountry raised an enormous revenue and conducted business on a gigantic scale.
