Authorities don't agree as to the cause of colds." Some now claim that microbes are responsible. Doesn't matter much, you can't dodge the cause: it is the results that must be wor­ried about. We know that colds cause destruction of tissue: that waste products accumulate in the system and that they are largely expelled through the lungs. When the process is retarded we have a cough, which is the warning of lung danger.

Jack 's White Pine Expectorant is the best remedy because it hastens the expulsion of waste matter. Some cough cures dry up a cough, this loosens it. It cures thoroughly because it goes to the source of the trouble.

Price 25 and 50 cents. Money back if you want it.

c. A. JACK The Druggist

County Commissioners Rep ly t o Untutored

to do the county printing, and for awarding the same to the Princeton

n i o n, and suggesting that the tax­payers of the county will want to know how we. as such commissioners, ex­cuse our action,

Now Therefore, This statement is for the purpose of advising such tax­payers of our reasons for such action:

Under the law it is our duty, in des-gnating a paper to do the county

printing, to take into consideration the character and value of such paper as a medium for getting the matter to be published before the tax-payers of the county. The law further expressly provides that we shall not be bound by any offer, but may reject any or all offers filed or presented, if in our judgment the public interest so re­quires, and that we may thereupon designate a paper without regard to any rejected offer or offers.

In making our decision we were governed by two main considerations: First: the circulation of the papers offering to do the work; and second, the equipment and ability of such pa­pers to do the work properly, and with exact accuracy, and in strict compliance with the law.

On the first proposition the Prince­ton U n i o n offered to publish the county printing in its own columns and also in the columns of the Milaca Times, giving a combined circulation of more than three thousand, and further offered to furnish a duplicate of such printing, in supplement form to be used by the Mille Lacs Pioneer, if it so desired, thus, still further in­creasing such circulation. On the other hand the circulation offered by the Princeton News only ranged from three hundred to three hundred and fifty On the second point, past ex­perience has demonstrated beyond a doubt that the Princeton U n i o n could and would publish the matter with strict accuracy, and in strict compli­ance with the law.

In considering the Princeton News we could feel no such assurance, in­deed the very article criticising our action would seem to offer ample just­ification for our decision, for the last paragraph alone of such article con­tains five typographical errors, either of omitting a letter or inserting a wrong letter, which if they had oc­curred in five descriptions of the tax list would have invalidated the tax judgment, as to such descriptions.

We did not feel justified, on either of<>{Jhe grounds named, in considering the offer of the Princeton News. For it is of far greater importance to the tax-payers of the county that the work be done with exact accuracy, and that the matter reach the greatest possible number of tax-payers, than that the printing of such matter should be done cheaply.

Upon these reasons and considera­tions we based our action.

R. S. Shaw, George H. Deans, John Dalchow, J . W. McClure, L. S. Libby.

Pierson B o y s F ined .

The Pierson boys, Swan and Enoch, who were arrested last week charged with the injury to the little Riebe boy in Bogus Brook, were given a hear­ing before justice Chadbourne last Thursday. Many witnesses were pres­ent, and while the boys admitted shooting their rifles, at the time the Riebe and other boys were on the river, they disclaimed any intention of shooting at the boys or towards them, knowingly. They said they were twenty-five yards away from the boys when the rifles were fired, and that the ball from the rifle held by Swan probably struck the ice and glanced, striking the Riebe boy.

About all that could be made out of the case was a common misdemeanor, and the justice fined Swan Pierson $20 and Enoch $10.

There was some anxiety about pay­ing the Riebe boy's hospital and doc­tor's expenses on the part of the boys, and they desired to know if the fines could not apply on such expenses, but as this would require a special act of the legislature, the fines could not be thus appropriated.
