As the county has never in anyone year expended more than $55,000 00 , and as 314 months of the fiscal year have now passed , the expenses of the county for the balance of . . the fiscal year should not be over $40 ; 000 00. This proves that a . mill levy would provesc 4 not only have been sufficient to meet all ] expenses of the county for the fiscal year from July I , I904 to ' July I , 1905 out will leave a balance in the treasury at . the , . le'nd' of the fiscal year of about $23 , 000 00. . . . . Notwithstanding this was all ] known to the county board 1 . at the time it made the nine mill levy , so that at the end of this fiscal year , July I , our ; 1905 county treasury will ] have on hand 53,000 00. TAX PAYERS remember the . democratic county board for political reasons , vote to make you pay as much taxes this year as should have been collected from you in two years i Had the county board been republican this would not have ] happened. Moral , vote for and elect every republican nomi- nee for the county board and legislative ticket , , county at1 1 torn y , precinct officers together with the state and national 1 . . ticket , for when the republicans have control of . and government , all ! roes well. the finances J 1 , Sorosis Club. An interesting program Wi'S 'r ( . given at thc regular meeting of the Sorosis club Wednesday fter- noon. Mrs Clyde Johnston was hostess and fourteen members re- spondee1 to roll call. This was Federation day and reports of the state federation meeting held at . . Seward were given by Mrs. John- ston , delegate trom Sorosis and Mrs. \V. 11."Tilson , : ' vice presi- " Lent of the first district. Both papers were deserving of their J cordial reception. Current Events occupied a few moments , and the . pleasant afternoon was closed ; -Y . : - ' with splendid refreshments. Mrs. , .s- . Weeds of \ Minnesota was a guest of the club. - { } Ditching Gnng. ' ' The younger generation was treated to a novel and strange sight Tuesday afternoon when a Missouri ditching gang drove ' : t. . . . . I , ' .Af' . , . lI ' . . . ° . . . . , . . . - - , - 'I , . , . throngh Main street with fifty oxen hitched to their apparatus. Miss \IcDonald's school was dismissed and the children were as excited as they would have been at a circus parade. ' ' The gang was going to 1\11' Miller's farm on thc muddy to work fur several days. The great patIent beasts are very powerful and are an ideal animal to use in ditching ventures. The cruelty with which their drivers lashed them created a desire on the part of the crowd that asscm- bled to use the "bull whips"upon thc men. Democratic Meeting. Hon. Mike Harrington and Hugh LaMaster spoke at the court house Monday e\'ening. Mr. Harring-ton is a pleasing speaker and a good lawyer. He made the mistake of confusing abuse of GO\ Mickey with politi- . . . , cal argumcnt. ' \Ve will d1 charitably with a1\astcr in , say nothing more than that h spoke.tl he democratic part ; , should pull its congressional candi i chute off thc stump. 'l hc audi i torium at thc court house wa : comfortably filled with listeners Back in the Fold. A reporter was given thc op' portunity of talking to Hon. Win , . Fcn tOil in Dawson the ethel evening , and learned with plea ure that : Mr. li'enton is an entllus astic supporter of Presidcl1 tt t Roosevelt and the republican ticket. "Judgc Parker telegram alienated me from democracy , said 11Ir. Fenton. "I only left ] the republican party on the moncy questipn" hc continued. " .Anc1 now 1 am glad to get back. " For many years William i ' en - ton was a leader of the rcpubli- can party and exerted a great in - 11ucnce in its councils. That a man of his strong principles has returned to thc fold is a source of g ratification to all republican and indication of the cnormous vote Theodore Roosevelt will bc giren in the west. Republican Meetings. Large and enthusiastic meet- lngs have been held by the republican - publican candidates at Dawson , Shubert , I1aiel Grove school 1 house : and Fargo within the last .veek. . . At each meeting the hal ll 1 . , vas crowded to C'loIl'h , J" , 'IL ' . _ . . , "PH\-.l , ) uy ill- te'ntive and enthusiastic voters. This is in ( marled ; contrast to the meetings held by the opposition , which have been poorly attended. The sentiment in this county has u ndergone a remarkable change in the last ten day's. ' ' hc revenue law has lost its terrors as it hag become better understood. ' ' he reporter has talked with many , voters in the last week in several precincts and the same report is : return d in each instance : . " 'Ve , 1 arc all rig-b there. The voters understand the revenue law now , 1 and all republicans and many 1 disgusted democrats are in line.

A large package of hard luck landed on the Colts to which was added thc fact of thc cold weather and thc absence of practice for three wceks. It's bart business when a team is COI11pUSeh of four different ones , and labeled with gild tag , namely H.ulo. 1Even if arrot of thc Western \ j League , Vakeficld and Noycs of ( Troy , and two ex-players of the Missouri Valley League ; and Rttlo as a ti f ller-in all went up against the Colts Sunday , wc discount them with case when it comes to ability.
