being admitted to the bar he moved to
Michigan, but did not long remain, and
settled i'll Saltwater in 1917. since which
time he has been continuous resident
Of this state. save as his public duties
called him to Washington.
When the territory was organized, in
1919, he was chosen to the legislature,
and the laws adopted by the territory as
its code were of his framing.
In 1859 he was elected to the United
States senate by the Republicans, and
during the succeeding six years won an
enviable national reputation, At the
outbreak of the war he took a leading
part as one of the advisers in the ma

eoln's intimates. upon whom he greatly
Telied for advice, and was free
quently summoned to the White house
for consultation. He was Il fine speaker,
and he made many notable efforts in
the senate during that stormy period.
He was chairman of the senate commit
tee on revolutionary claims. and as a
InPDllpr nf tho In
affairs took prominent part i'll the In
dian question, which attrrcted great at
tention owing TO the Sioux massacre in
Minnesota in August. 1862. 1t was
through his influence that the late Clark
w. thompson was appointed commls-
sIoner of Indian affairs for Minnesota,
an Office long since abolished, but then
OF great Importance. This led to life

the death of his wife at Mankato, his
friend Thompson induced him to re-
move to Wells, where he (Thompson)
then resided, being engaged in the con-
struction of the Southern Minnesota
railroad.
Mr.. Wilkinson was delegate to the
Baltimore convention which renomi-
mated Lincoln in 1864. and took an active
part upon the stump in that campaign
in many Northern states besides Min

Though warmly supported by the ad-
ministration, he was defeated for re-
election in the winter of 1865 by the
multiplicity of candidates. William

Than First Reported.

nan FIRST AtepOrceQ.
BIRM INGHAM, Ala, Feb. 4.-Further

DULUTH, Minn., Feb. AT both
Democratic and Republican headquar-
ters today reports were received from
the various precincts, and the Iieuten-
ants were instructed of the moves in
the campaign, which tradition says
closes tomorrow night. But positive
proof was received at Democratic head
quarters that their battle does not close
on the eve of election. 1t has been
found that the Republicans, becoming
satisfied of the hopelessness OF win
ming the fight by the fair means they
have been so loud in championing. are
lndulging in wholesale corruption to
defeat Jenswold. The Democratic
leaders have received positive proc
that the Republicans are buying votes
where they can. and hiring Democrats
to stay away from the polls where they
CAN'T buy their votes outright. Demo
Gratis are warned to look out especially
for campaign lies emanating in the
Lewis camp. AS an instance of the
faith of the Republicans in the unassail-
able integrity of the voter, statement
by an active Lewis man to your cor
respondent may be noted.
The Scandinavian preachers" he
said, ''are just laying for chance to
feather their nests, not their churches,
mind you. You don't have to seek
them. All that's necessary is from s25
to $50, and you are assured of their sup
port among their congregations" The
Democrats tonight feel confident of
carrying all the wards in tine city except
three for Jenswold. and they do not
even concede all of the three to Lewis.
1t is doubtful if Jenswold's majority
runs over 800; still it is within the
range of possibilities. The Republi-
cans, with the overconfidence born of
quarter century of national misrule,
presume Oh all the wards but the
Fourth and possibly the Seventh. They
claim Lewis election by 500. The pros
pect does not in the least bear out the
corporation machine in any such claims.

He was able, however, to attend to
his case in court the next day, but after

Why the Anarchist Was Sent to

the Gufliotine.
PARIS, Feb. 5.-August valiant was
born at Mezieres, department of Ar
dennes, on Dec. 90. 1881. He was an
illegitimate son and led rowing life.
At one time he lived in Buenos Ayres
and at another in the United States,
where he passed three months teaching
school. lie was married in the United
States, and by this marriage had little
girl, whose name is Sidonie. He re-
turned to Paris in 1887, entered into in
innate relations with another woman
named Marchal and went to live in the
Mont Martre district, where in the rare
intervals in which he worked he secured
employment in fancy leather manu-
factory as workman on pocketbOoks.
An industrious life, however, had
very little attraction for him, and
he preferred to be vagabond and
thief. No less than five times was he
convicted of petty crimes. Up to 1856
he called himself a socialist revolution
iSt, but socialism was too mild to suit
his views, so he abandoned II to become
an avowed anarchist. He became active
as a preacher of anarchistic propaganda
while still retaining his mem bership in
one of the socialist groups. His mother
lives aI Ot. Queui near GaflS, with an
aged anarchist.
For short time previous to the COM
mission of the crime fol which he was
executed he acted as manager in the
office of an anarchist periodical. In Au-
gust, 1898, Valiant went to live with
his mistress on the second floor of No.
II Rue de la Raffinelre, Cheissy-le- Roi,
paying his rent Of six francs weekly
with regularity and impressing his
landlord as sober and industrious
workman. AT this time Valiant was
employed in the Petington morocco
works. Two weeks before the throwing
of the bomb Valiant asked his land
lord to be allowed to pay the rent every
month, saying that he had secured en-
ployment as a foreman in Paris at a
factory where the hands were only paid
by the month. Shortly after this his
habits, which had been quite Regular,
became noticeably changed, and he was
