JOSEPH FIELDS, JOHN WINKLER, Prop'r WILL DeAKMOND Last Tuesday morning the whole community were thrown into excitement over the report that an unsuccessful attempt had been made to burglarize the county treasury.

It having been reported through the Herald that some $21,000 in currency -a in the county vault in the treasurers office at the court bouse, some ainateur burglars picked on Monday night to make a haul out of our county. An entrance bad HI eat Market 13 Connty Printing. Thursday morning the matter of county printing was brought up before the cotcmiesions and the eon-tract awarded to Sellers atone dollar per square. (legal rates) The board refused to recognize our bid, which was twenty cents per square, or one-fifth legal rates Also the contract for doing the blank work at Topeka pfif-f. wae a-jrnrded to Sellers.

In thus doing the board virtually robbed the tax payers of over S300.00, about tbe difference between our bids. Mitchell said that ho va3 elected on the is-U" county printing and deemed it his duty, (aB a recompense for their labors in his behalf, we presume) to give the printing to Sellers, then French, a man who has no mind of hts own but nods assent to anything the chairman piopcses, Eaid that was hi- sentiments.

Mr. Pauley does not have but "rfttle to pay in such; he is a perfect Maine Troubles A few weeks ago the whole country was startled by the reports from Maine to the effect that Alonzo Garcelon, the greenback-democratic governor had gotten up a conspiracy with other etate officers forming hit-'council" to disfranchise the repub licans of Maine and by rejecting tb returns of the officers of election-throw out.

T1m election had been conducted in all respects required by law. Pe act-had prevailed over the entire state No frauds, nor aught to prevent an expression of the will of the people had intervened, and the only excuse for changing tbe results of tbe election that could be found was certain technical irregularities on the part of election officers. There was no pretense that these technical irregularities cast any doubt on tbe election; and yet in the face of this state of facts, and in the face of the decisions of the highest courts of every state in the Union, the gov ernor relused to give certificates to thirty nine republicans who bad FRESH MEATS AJivayw on Isanti CITY Assignee (I23ir January 5th, 1880.
