The Republican State Convention
has been called to meet at st. Paul
Sept. %. Mobiles county is entitled
TO three delegates.
rHH RAlLRORD LAND TAX.

THE RAILROAD LANO zAA. s..
We are informed that the Railroad
Laud Company have decided to cancel
the contracts on all railroad lands
vhero taxes have not been paid. This
means a forfeiture Of the lands, and
porties holding such lands by contract
will have to pay the taxes or lose the
land. <rss
This is a new way out Of the railroad
land tax difficulty. Our readers are a.
ware that after the claim that rail
road lands were not taxable until deed
Cd, our county board ordered the rail
road lands stricken from the tax list
Auditor Mills refused to do this and
took q decided stand in favor of collect.
ing the taxes. A number OF persons,
to avoid litigation or other trouble,
came forward and paid the tax, but a
majority have not done so. It seems
now that the Railroad Land Company
have hit upon a plan which will practi-
cally settle the difficulty.
The effect of the claim that rail
road lands are not taxable has been to
work so far an unjust discrimination in
favor of the owners of railroad land and
to throw the burden OF taxation upon
the few who hold decided lands.

THE GOVERNOR AZ "A: POET.
Among the selections published In
the ADVANCE last spring from the Gov
!ernor's pen were two which are now a.
[pecially appropriate. He has now
found tho ''city all bright" and tho
communion with those that we love''
Eof which he sang years ago, and his
Little Maggie, " we may be sure. who
waited long for his coming, was at tho
edoor to meet him. We republish these
two touching little lyrics below:
ON THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE.
Thou art gone far away to tho lam, OF the blest,
Where the pained and tho weary are forever ut
: o, sad are the hearts that around the entwined,
3And dreary the home thou hast left Us behind.
And weary with watching and weeping the eyes
That gazcd on thy path till It entered the skiesi
But our hope is in God, and We look with delisht
From the gloom Of the grave to city all bright
From bereavements on earth to = ameeting above,
SAnd eternal communion with those that We love: !:
LITTLE MAGGIE.
For years she at her fathers door
I Waited tor his weary coming
Dear little Maggie. evermore
Welcomes humming.
For years no watcher at the door
Hath met that fathers weary tread:
Her absence tells him evermOre
That Maggte's dead.
For years he knows at heavens door
She hath been waiting for his coming:
Sweeter than in days OF y0re
Welcomes humming.

Stephen Miller ex-governor Of Mimi
esota, was born in the town OF Perry.
3Cumberland county, Penn. on the 7th
of January, 1916. Receiving q good
c0mmOn- school education, he devoted
himself to business, and in 1887 he be-
came established as merchant IN. Har-
risburR. Mr.. Miller was extremely
bright and popular, and in his early
man hood he was elected to local offices
land afterwards received appointments
: (nt the hands Of the State government
: of Pennsylvania. Failing health COM
pelled him to retire from his position as
State flour inspector at Philadelphia,
and in 1858 he removed to Minnesota
settlina at St. Cloud, where he resumed
the mercantile business, which he con-
5ducted until 1851, when as soon as the
First echo Of the war reached Minnesota
from Fort Sumter, lie enlisted ~ a pri-
vate soldier in the glorious First regi-!
3ment, of which he was its first lienten-
ant-colonel, receiving his appointment
from Gov. Ramsey. During the early
battles of that gallant regiment Coli
Miller distinguished himself for bravery
: and capacity in the field as he had fori
ability and integrity in the civil walks
Of life. In September, 1862, when
Minnesota was placing five more regi1
ments in the field, Col. Miller was
placed in command OF the Seventh. !.
which was then on the frontiers Of the;
State, which was then being devastated
Iby the hostile Sioux. The seventh reg
Iiment did good service in their field, in|
driving back the red. d.skins, and in cap
turing large numbers Of the savages.
2COl. Miller was in command at Mani
kato, in 1868. when ty-eight of the
5murderers were tried and convicted, and
5lle superintendent their execution by;
hanging at that place. IN the fall oil
3lses. having in the meantime Esen pro,l
; was nominated and elected governor Of Of,
Minnesota, which office he filled twoj
wears, during the trying times at the
