The Auditing Committee Reports That Treasurer's Books Are All Right, At the spectal school meeting held on Saturday evening the committee appointed to examine the books of ‘freasurer Kremer reported that they had found everything absolutely cor- rect and the books kept in the best possible condition.

Last Saturday noon word was re- ceived here that a case of small pox had distovered at Hibbing. The information came from a source tbat left no doubt as to its authen- been ticity. Dr. H. M. Brack of the state board of health, arrived from the iron town and informeds our health officer, Dr. Russell, of the con- ! dition existing at the neighboring town, and advised that the excursien ! arranged to take place on Sunday be postponed. There was no cour: epen but to comply and Dr. Russ immediately telegraphed the man- ager of the ba!l club, under whose auspices the excursion was given, that public safety demanded that the affair should not take place. ‘This was highly disappointing both to the people here and at Hibbing. Gur citizens had made. all arrangements for the reception and entertainment of the visitors, and these, in turn, had made all arrangements to come. It isto be hoped, however, that the matter will again be taken up and made a success of. The local ball club is trying to bave the excursion take place as soon as the danger from contagion is over, which we all hope will be soon. The business men of the village donated liberally toward the club’s purse, and should the af- fair fall through entirely this money will be returned. THE BO. BLOOMERS.

The doctor informs us that the danger from this dread dis- e is more than imaginary. . He ys that we should not be surprised more cases were found to exist in this vicinity.

He advises all. to get vac- cinated who have not already done so. He has a supply of vacine points and anyone wishing to apply the preyent- ative cau be accommodated. He Was Not Crazy.

Dr. Gilbert says that the county attorney dis- covered that the man was a Demo- crat and did not wish to send a voter out of the county until after election. This, howevér, is uot generally be- lieved. Feasted His Friends. On Tuesday evening last the bache- lor quarters of Th.

On Wednesday, August Jdth, the school board of district No. 1 will sell to the highest bidder the old school building which now stands in the school yard. This action on the part of the board will meet with gen- eral approwal, as the building is of no use to ihe district and practically no revenue is derived fram it as it stands. It cost considerable money to put the building up, and it will probably be sold at a Sacrifice, but even this is better than that it shouid become a total loss either through fire og other agencies.
