From what has been ascertained
' there is no question as to a large enough
'number of cows being secured to make
a creamery a success and those who are
looking after the mailer hare written
to the parties in the east to get ready to
do something as the people here will
furnish lots of milk. The matter should
reive the encouragement of all. Such
an enterprise will do much to develop
the country and bring money to every

All who know anything about the
way the affairs of the village of Harrison
have been run for about two years know
that they have leen controlled by C'has.
E. Verity and Conrad Lhideroaa. There
is no question but that those two indi
viduals have swayed the action of the
board of village trustees and to a great
extent the actions of the minor olflcials
who are resKnsible to the board. It is
also well known that the viKage treas
urer refused to turned the license money
over to the school district treasurer on
an order from the board and when the
dibtrict court issued a writ of mandmus
ordering him to turn the funds over he
carried it to the supreme court, thereby
banking it up for some years. What
part the domineht member of the vil
lage board played in that act can only be
judged by circumstances. They cer
tainly did not disapprove of tlie course
taken by Mr. Guthrie for they have al
lowed him to retain possession of the
oHico of village treasurer for three
months hist past, when under the pro
visions of the statute the otfice has lieen
vacant, and the village board has
ignored the law and failed to do its duty.
Section 2HJ of the Consolidated Stat
utes of H91, defining the duties of the
village tr-asurer says: '-He shall, at the
end of each and every month, and as
often as may be required, render an ac
count to the city council or board of
trustees, under oath, showing; the state
of the treasury at the (late of such ac
count, and the balance of money in the
treasury; he shall also accompany such
accounts with a statement of all receipts
and disbursements, together with all
warrants redeemed and paid him; which
said warrants, with any nod all vouchers
held by him shall be filed with his ac
count in the clerk's oltice; and if said
treasurer neglect or fail, for the space ol
ten days from the eud of each and every
month, to render his said account, his
oltice shall be declared vacant, and the
city council or loard of trustees shall fill I
I he vacancy by appointment until the
next election tor city or village ollicers."
The records iu the office show that on
May a, ISM, Mr. Outline Med a report
is village treasurer from April 2,1, lHUU,
to April 23, im. On June 6, lv;l, he
liled a monthly resjrt, but :nce that
date he has filed no report whatever.
Thtre in no question as to the taw. It
is plainly mandatory and provides that
the board shall declare the otfice vacant,
Out tlio great reformers who control the
affairs of the village do not see fit to go
according to law when It effects one ol
their most plialit tools. If Verily and
Lindemaii desired to protect the interests
of the taxpayers and "were uot in sympa
thy with Mr. Outline they would see
that the funds belonging to the village
were placed in the hands of some one
who would not retain them in the face
of an order of the court. This condition
makes it apjiear that the whole matter
connected with the village election was
a conspiracy. The result of the smooth
work of the little ring of cute people in
the village election has evidently led the
conspirators to think that they can do
as they please, regardless of law. The
fact thut village trustees give no boud
leaves nothing hold tlieiu but their oath
aud what does an oath uniount to with
any one who is not honorable when not
under oath ?
