City Opera House Tonight. MEETING OGTOBER 2ND T0 HAME COMMISSIONERS [Continued from Fiist Page.] village councils and chairman of the boards of superaisors for the purpose of selecting the successors; but that he has not yet fully decided what time to set for this meeting. In order to personally serve notice on each of the chairmen of town boards, it will be necessary, in the Third district, for Sheriff Hazen to make trips into the Lake of the Woods country and also through swamps and bogs between Thief River Falls and Red Lake; and that it would take at least two weeks to complete serving these notices; so| that the meeting will not be held inside of the next fifteen days. The following is the section of the statutes relative to filling vacancies in the membership of board of county commissioners: *426. Vacancy in Board—Any vacancy in the office of county com- missioner occuring more than thirty days before election shall be filled by a board of appointment, consist- ing of the chairman of the town board of each town,and the mayor or president of each city and village in the commissioner district in which such vacancy occurs, which shall meet at the auditor’s office for that purpose, upon three days’ written notice given by such auditor and seryed personally: Provided that, if such commissioner district is wholly within the limits of an in- corporated city or village, such ‘vacancy shall be filled by the council of such municipality. Absence from the county for six successive months shall be deemed to create a vacancy.” DEMURRER IN GLEAR- WATER GASE SUSTAINED [Continued: from Page 1.] alleges that all of the sum of $53,204.58 floating indebtedness and $12,000.00 of the bonded indebtedness has since been paid by Beltrami county and that no part of any of said indebtedness has ever been paid by Clearwater county. “The statutory provisions then in force, G. S. 1894, Sec. 634, read as follows: *‘When there is any bonded or other floating county indebtedness outstanding against any county out of which any such new county has been wholly or in part created, the same shall be paid by such old and new counties in proportion to their re- spective valuations (as shown by the last general assessment) of their portions of the property of the county or counties out of which such new county was created. Provided, that in case any such county, out of which any new county has been in whole or part created, possesses county buildings erected by the county, the same shall be appraised and the present value thereof to the county in which such buildings are situated shall be ascertained as hereinaiter provided, and such ap- praised value of said buildings shall be deducted from the amount of said bonded or floating indebtedness to be so appor- tioned between the several counties, and the remainder of such indebtedness shall only be so apportioned between the sev- eral counties; and the amount of said remaining indebtedness(and which equals and represents the said appraised value of said county buildings) shall not be so apportioned among such several counties, but shall be wholly paid by the county which has and retains such county build- ings." “This statute plainly provides for an equitable adjustment of indebtedness be- tween the counties. Under it there seems to be no room for doubt that the then value of the county buildings, $70,756.75, and the amount in the sinking fund, $9,469.83, making a total of $80,226.- 58, must first be deducted from the total indebtedness of $175.204.58, leaving an indebtedness of $94,978.00 to be paid by the two counties pro rata according to the assessed valuation of each. By computa- tion we then find that Clearwater county’s proportionate share of said ramaining indebtedness was 25 and a fraction per cent., or approximately, $23.958.58. Up to this point there seems to be no room for disagreement. ~The statute further provides. G. S. 1894, Sec. 635, that “The counly commissioners of any such new county shall make piovision for the payment of any such bonded or floating indebtedness by levy and taxa- tion at the time fixed by law for so doing, and in the manner as the county commissioners of the parent county or counties should have done.” “Interpreting these statutory require- ments the court says in the case of County Commissioners of Polk County vs. Demann, 83 Minn. 331: ‘By the express terms of the statute the new county must act in obedience to the requirements providing for the manner of collecting its proportionate share of the taxes of the parent county. The statute directs the levy. Nor does any liability attach to pay the money in other way than that pointed out,’” “It seems to me that this general statement of the complaint and the con- struction of the statute referred to by our supreme court are sufficient to show that this is not the proper action or remedy and that the demurrer should be sus- tained on this ground. It was, and 1s, the clear and unquestionable duty of the county commissioners of Clearwater county to make provisions for the pay- ment of its share of the bonded and float- indebtedness ‘by levy and taxation in the same manner as the county commis- sioners of the parent county should have done.” If the county commissioners of Clearwater county have failed and neglected to perform the duty thus im- posed upon them, the true, and it would seem the only, remedy is by mandamus to compel them to do their official duty. “‘The law does not contemplate the satisfaction in any other manner than by an assessment upon the taxable property of the county, hence the failure to do so authorized the mandate of the court to compel obedience to the law. Mandamus is the proper remedy.’ County Commis- sioners of Polk County ys. Demann, supra, and cases cited. “In the Wisconsin case, Waupaca County vs. Town of Matteson, reported 48 N. W., 213, precisely the same legal ques- tion is involved, and the court says: ‘*‘This is an appeal from an order over- ruling the demurrer to the complaint. * * The action cannot be maintained. * * If a judgment could be rendered against the town, the county would be no nearer the end than now; for the town clerk must insert the judgment in the tax-roll for collection, and he might refuse as he has done here. Both duties are alike. What, then, would be the remedy? Could the town again be sued in an action on the judgment? This method might be repeated, and without end. Mandamus against the town clerk to compel him to discharge this clear legal duty is the enly adequate remedy in either case. This is too plain for argument. The end can never be reached by actions against the town. The town is not liable for the neglect or refusal of its clerk to perform such an official duty. This is- a well- established principle of law. * * The case comes within the very office of the writ of mandamus to enforce a specific legal right, or to compel the performance of a positive legal duty, where there is no other specific legal remedy.’ *'The general doctrine applicable to this classof cases is, that when a specific duty is imposed by law upon a municipal corporation of levying a particular tax for some purpose of public utility and the duty is so plain and imperative as to admit of no element of discretion in its exercise, mandamus is the appropriate and, indeed, the only adequate remedy for a refusal by the corporate authorities to perform this duty.” High Ex. Legal Rem. Sec. 369 and cases cited. “In The People vs. The Supervisors of the County of Columbia, 10 Wend. 363, which is cited approvingly in the County Commissioners of Polk County vs. Demann, supra, the court says: ‘The statute directs the supervisors to levy and collect the amount of deficiency; it is a duty imposed upon those officers which should be per- formed by them, but for their neglect the county in its corporate capacity should not be punished; nor does any liability attach to the county to pay the money in other way than that pointed out in the statute.” ““Upon proper petition filed showing the requisite facts a writ of mandamus should issue directing the county commissioners of Clearwater county to levy the required tax ‘in the same manner as the county commissioners of the parent county should have done.’ “But, assuming for the purpose of argu- ment that my view as above set forth is erroneous and that mandamus is not the proper, or at least not the exclusive remedy, and that an action for contribu- tion, such as the one at bar is admitted by plaintiff to be, would properly lie, still, it seems to me, the demurrer must be sustained for the reason that the facts stated do not constitute a cause for action. “My principal reason for this view is that there is no allegation as to the application upon the indebtedness of the $70.756.75, the appraised value of the county buildings. We can properly assume that the amount in the sinking fund, $9,469.83, was applied upon the bonded indebtedness. But where was the $70,756.75 applied? Was it applied to the payment of the floating indebtedness which was represented by outstanding warrants, and which was the only por- tion of the total indebtedness which was actually due and payable at the time that the appraisal was made and the amount ascertained ‘which shall be deducted from the amount of said bonded and floating indebtedness?” Such applica- tion would be in accord with the genera rule that payments, in the absence of direction or express agreement, must first be applied to debts that are due. If it was so applied then Clearwater county has been, and is, under no obligation to pay anything upon the $53.204.58 of outstanding warrants, and the remainder of the credit for county buildings, the sum of $17,552.17, together with the $9,469,- 83 in the sinking fund, making a total of $27,022.00 should have been applied upon the bonded indebtedness. “As, according to the complaint, Bel- trami county has paid only $12,000.00 on the bonded indebtedness, it would not yet be in position, under this method of application, to maintain an action against Clearwater county for contribution, for, as said in Township of Canosia vs. Township of Grand Lake, 80 Minn. 857. ‘If one pays more than he should he may compel his codebtor to contribute his share of the money paid. But it is well settled that for the purpose of an action to recover the proportion of the debt, whether at law or in equity, the right of one is re- garded as maturing when he has paid more than his share of the debt, and until that time there is neither equitable obligation or implied contract to make contribution.” “That the ultimate amount to be paid by Clearwater county, according to the complaint, would be $23,958.58, besides the accumulated interest, is certain, but the complaint contains no information by which it can be determined when this sum, or any portion thereof, is to be paid. Without this knowledge surely an action for contribution cannot lie, because it cannot be determined whether the amount already paid by Beltrami county includes any part of Clearwater county's share of the indebtedness; and, as said in Town- ship of Canosia vs. Township of Grand Lake, supra, ‘plaintiff was not entitled to recover money judgment for the share which defendant town might and could finally be compelled to pay.’ " Little Waldo Girl Buried. The body of the 19-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Waldo was laid to rest in Greenwood cemetery (Bemidji's “city of the dead”) yesterday afternoon, and among the silent inhabitants of that beautiful spot all that was mortal of the beloved little girl will rest until the last day when we shall all be summoned to the great tribunal be- yond. The little adopted girl departed without being able to put up much of a fight against the illness which afflicted her. She was taken ill on Thursday and on Friday had passed to the eternal sleep. The funeral services were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Waldo Sunday afternoon, Rev. Kolste conducting the services. Rev. Kolste spoke in words of tenderest sympathy and comfort, of deepest Christian hope and promise. The Misses Erickson sung with peculiarbeauty and sweetness several appropriate selections. Many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Waldo attended the obsequies, and as they looked upon the sweet placid little body in the white casket and surrounded by beautiful and fragrant flowers—vyet not more beautiful or pure than the little face within—their hearts swelled in sym- pathy for the bereaved couple. The floral offerings were numerous and very beautiful, indicative of the beauty and purity of the little child who had warmed her way into the hearts of her adopted parents and won from them, by her very love- ableness, an affection that was deep and true. “And oh, when aweary, may we be so blest, *“And sink like the Innocent child to rest, “And feel ourselves clasped to the infinite breast.” Prof. Moore, on Fodder Corn. Professor R. A. Moore, professor of agrimony of the Wisconsin Uni- versity, had occasion to discuss fod- der corn with some of the attend- ants at the fair; and as there appear- ed to be what he considersa mis- taken idea relative to the best quality of this “feeder,” he gave the Pioneer the following for publication: “There seemed to be a little con- troversy at the fair as to what con- stitutes fodder corn and a few ex- hibitors were disappointed when the awarding committee gave the blue ribbon to a medium early heavy- eared dent variety instead of plac- ing it on some of the tall late south- ern varieties that seem to be grown quite generally as corn fodder. “Fodder corn may be any variéty of corn that is grown to be fed com- plete with stalk and ear. If the ear is removed, the stalk is kfown as corn stover. The medium early varieties of corn that have been bred for large ear and leafiness are greatly surerior as fodder corn or silage to the late wattery varieties that never reach maturity, and are always low in feeding value, “Farmers in this section of Minne- sota will find that it is much better dents for fodder corn which will enable them to secure practically double the feed per acre from the quality standpoint than they are able to obtain with the so-called late varieties of fodder corn.” Wanted, good girl tfor general house work, Inquire of Mrs. C.

Andrews vd. the Northwestern Telephone Exchange company and A. E. Harris, as manager of the company, were taken up and after some of the testimony had been’ in- troduced by the defendent, the cases were dismissed, at the request of the plaintiff. g In these suits, Mr. Andrews sought torecover the sum of 5,000 in each, that against Mr. Harris being for alleged slanderous words used by the defendant against the plaintiff; that against the company being for damages incurred from moving telephones from Mr. An- drews’ office and residence. Whether Mr. Andrews will start new suits is not known. Mr. Andrews had associated with him in the trial of the cases, Henry Funkley and E. E. McDonald of this city, while the company and Mr. Harris were represented by John L. Dilléy of Minneapolis and John F. Gibbons of this city. The case of George Rogers vs. F. Gagnon was taken up, J. H. May- bury and Mr. Judson, of the firm of Judson & Fulton, both of Crookston, representing the plaintiff. P. J. Russell of this city appeared for the defendant, Gagnon. Mr. Russell moved to dismiss the case and argu- ments were submitted. this afternooa. The criminal calendar will be taken up tomorrow. Saturday, in the case of the State 6f Minnesota vs, John Conk- lin, the court set aside the order of 'the justice forfeiting the bail in this case and ordered the check returned to the defendant. The grand jury returned ¢no bill” against Herman Berg and the jury was then excused until September 23, at which time Attorney General George T. Simp- son will be here to inquire into some special cases. All other matters before the jury have been completed, J. A, Ludington and Family Leave Bemidiji. Mr, and Mrs. J. A. Ludington and two sons departed last mght for Payette, Idaho, where they will make their future home. They will be met at Green Mountain, Iowa, by an auto party and will proceed to Marshaltown, Iowa, for a visit at the tormer home of Mrs. Ludington, after which they will continue the trip to their Idaho home, Itis with sincere regret that the people of Bemidji part with Mr.and Mrs. J. A. Ludington, They have resided here for a number of years, and during that time formed alliances and friend- ships that are indeed difficult and painful to sever. These most ex- cellent people were ever among the most foremost of Bemidji’s citizens who are noted for their charitable acts, progressiveness and loyalty to their home.city. Mr. and Mrs. Ludington were prominently identified with Bemidir’s best public ahd private affairs. They were socially popular and were allied with many affairs; and it is sincerely regretted that the state of Mr. Ludingston’s health is such that he cannot longer reside in this climate. The whole of Bemidji parts with Mr. and Mrs. Ludington with sincere regret; but all unite in wishing the popular family unbounded success in their new home. “Bon voyage.” 1909 Diaries. s The Pioneer still has a few 1909 diariesleft which will be closed out at half price.

PRESIDENT TAFT IN TWIN CITIES Greeted by Big Crowds and Glorions Weather. CASTS GLOOM OVER AFFAIR Critical Illness of Governor Johnson Affects Spirits of Visitors and Resi- dents Alike—Programme Carried Out as Arranged With the Excep- tion of the Public Reception at the State Capitol. 8t. Paul, Sept. 20—Glorlous weather and big crowds greeted President Taft on his visit to the Twin Citles. As his train passed through St. Paul to Minneapolis, where the first stop was made, a presidential salute of twenty- one guns was given by Battery A, Minnesota national guard. ‘When his special train reached Min- neapolis President Taft was welcomed by the joint reception committee of both cities and escorted to the Min- neapolis club, where breakfast was served. Word of Governor Johnson’s desperate condition cast a gloom over the entire party, visitors and mem- bers of the local entertainment com- mittees alike. The question immedi- ately arose whether the programme of entertainment should be carrled out as planned. It was finally decided to keep in close touch with Rochester and to abandon the programme should the governor’s illness terminate fa- tally. Following breakfast an informal re- ception was held, when the president met the various committees of the Twin Cities. At 10 o’clock he was taken on-an automobile tour to St. Paul by way of Minnehaha Falls and Fort Snelling. After reviewing the garrison at Fort Snelling the president was met by the St. Paul committee and escorted through the city by way of the River drive and Summit avenue to the Audi- torium for the luncheon. At 2:15 the Auditorium was thrown open to the public, following which President Taft made a brief address. Owing to the critical illness of Gov- ernor Johnson the proposed public re- ception at the state capitol was aban- doned. The building was closed to the public and only the presidential party permitted to enter. At 4:30 the president returned to Minneapolis and was the guest of the Minneapolis club. At 8 o’clock he was tendered a banquet at the Auditorium by the commercial interests of the Twin Cities. TAFT PRAISES PAYNE BILL It Is the Best Tariff Measure the Coun- try Ever Had. ‘Winona, Minn., Sept. 20.—In the most important utterance he has made since his occupancy of the White House President Taft here, in a state ‘which is the hotbed of the “insurgent” movement within the Republican party, defended the Payne tarift bill as the best tariff measure ever passed by a Republican congress and hence the best tariff bill the people have ever known. y The president boldly asserted that the insurgents who voted against the bill had abandoned the Republican party. “Was it the duty of the member of congress who believed that the bill did not accomplish everything that it ought to accomplish, to vote against 1t?” asked the president. “I am here to justify those who an- swer this question in the negative. I am not here to defend those who voted for the Payne bill, but to support them. “All I have to say in respect to Mr. Tawney’s action in voting for the bill and my action in signing It, is that I belleved that the interests of the country, the interests of the party, re- quired me to sacrifice the accomplish- ment of certain things in the revision of the tariff which T had hoped for In order to obtain party solidarity, which I believed more important than the reduction of rates in one or two sched- ules of the tariff.” SUFFRAGETTES ON THE ROOF Climb to Top of House Adjoining Hall Where Asquith Is Speaking. Glasgow, Sept. 20.—Despite extraor- dinary precautions to prevent a suf- fargette demonstration a band of ‘women succeeded in eluding the vig- llance of the police and ascended to the roof of a house adjolning the hall where Mr. Asquith was speaking. Reaching the roof the women with an axe loosened slates and bricks which they threw at the police in the streets. The police finally dislodged the suffragettes with a fire hose and they were taken to jail. ‘While Mr. Asquith was leaving the hall ancther suffragette hurled a brick at his automobile, narrowly missing him. Convicted of Embezzlement. Milwaukee, Sept. 20.—Fred Heiden, Jr., a former inspector of the Milwau- kee house of correction, was sentenced to serve one year in that institution o8 a prisoner. Heiden was indicted in 1908 charged with embezzling $600 of the funds belonging to the workhouse while he held the office of inspector. He was convicted in 1907. GREAT WESTERN MORTGAGE Reorganized Road Borrows Seventy- five Millions. St. Paul, Sept. 20.—The new Chi- oago Great Western Railroad company has filed in the secretary of state's office in the capitol a mortgage of $75,000,000 uvon the railroad property.

FACTIONAL FEELING BITTER Bloodshed Feared on the Island of Martinique. Fort de France, Island of Mar- tinique, Sept. 20.—The local political situation is sérlous and factionul feel- ing runs high.

The elections of members of the grand council are set for Sept. 26 and fur- ther bloodshed is feared then. Steamer Sunk in Collision. Port Hurom, Mich., Sept. 20.—The steamer Lackawanna of Buffalo sank in twenty-four feet of water in the St. Clair river near the Canadian shore after a collision with the barge Chief- taln of Bay City and the barge Hall of Port Huron. No person was in- jured in the collision. AIRSHIP LIKE WATER FOWL Besldes Making Fast Time Inventor Will Rest on Water. ‘Washington, Sept. 20.—A new air- ship with the propellers in front, after the models of the original Langloy flying machine, is to be launched here In a few weeks. It is the work of Charles B. Nichols of this ecity, whe made the models for the late Profes: sor Langley, the original flying ma- chine man.

The Nichols machine, it is declared, will' be able to swoop down on the water, take a rest and then away again into the at mosphere and attain again the veloc ity of seventy-five miles. WRIGHT BREAKS A RECORD Remains in Air With Passenger Over an Hour and a Half. Berlin, Sept. 20.—Orville Wright made a new record at the Tempelhof field for sustained aeroplame flight "gth a passenger. He remained in the T for one hour and thirty-five min- utes, carrying Captain Englehardt. Wright broke his own record made July 27, when he stayed up with a passenger for one hour and twelve minutes. SERIOUS DISPUTE AMICABLY SETTLED Nicaragua Agrees fo Pay Claim of American Goncern. ‘Washington, Sept. 20.—Representa- tives of the Nicaraguan government and the George E. Emery company of Boston, whose claim growing out of the temporary annulment of the com- pany’s timber concession has been pending for some time, have reached a settlement, the Nicaraguan govern- ment egreeing to pay the company $600,000 for the purchase of the con- cession and the company walving all claims against Nicaragua. The issue has been a notable one and the delay of Nicaragua in failing to come to Some basis of settlement came near resulting in the breaking off of friend- 1y relations between the United Btates and that country.
