A RIPE OLD AGE
Marks the Demise of Jacob Bergstreser Of
Chester Township.

Occasional reference has been made in
these columns to the illness from kidney
troubles Of Jacob Bergstreser, who was
taken seriously i'll while visiting in the
family OF his son Charles in this city, the
past three weeks. The attack proved
fatal and MIR. Bergstreser passed peace
fully away last night at 10 o'clock. He
had suffered severely up to yesterday
morning and was conscious up to 4 p. m,
his end being peaceful. jacob Berg
streser was an old landmark, SO to
speak, in Lake county, having come here
in 1878 and located beside Brant Lake
in Chester township, where his son Fred
now resides. He was born in 1918 in
Berks county, Penn, OF old German
stock and inherited all It's virtues OF
sterling integrity, industry and perse-
v.rance. In 1949 he moved west to Mil
waukee, Wis, and engaged IN farming, a
pursuit he followed all the days of his
life, and in 1850 was there married to
Hannah Lester by whom he had twelve
children, ali living at the present time,
and many of whom were present at his
deathbed. The sons are Nelson, Henry,
Fred, Charles, Jacob, Joseph, in Dakota,
David of Worthington, Mimi, and Frank
Of San Francisco, Cal. The daughters
are Mrs. Morris Sackett of Aurora, s.
d., Mrs. j. }. Schlafer, Dell Rapids, Mrs,
Will Guyse, Warrington, MINI, Mrs,
IL. Barnett, Luddlngton, Mich. All
will be present at the funeral except the
son Frank Of San Francisco.
Mr.. Bergstreser was a man of retiring
disposition, a good neighbOr and an hon
est man. He has been a member of the
Presbyterian church since it's organiza
, ton mt Lake Madison in 1878, and was
held in high esteem by his neighbors
HIS remains will be laid at rest in Pros
pect cemetery besides those of his wife
who died in 1884. Rev. DIR. Wolff will
conduct a short service at the house
here before departing for the cemetery
the further services taking place il
Prospect church. AS Mrs. Barnett O
Michigan cannot reach here until Frida,
afternoon, the funeral will probably no
take place until Saturday, the definite
date and hour being announced later.

kCT GOV EMINENT LAND.

Important Ea->> N"c:Ird by the Secretary
Of the interior.
WASHINGTON, Slp,. 1.-The acting
secretary of the Interior has rendered
three important decisions regarding the
ownership Of immensely valuable accre-
ton lands lying south Of the Chicago
river, III the City of Chicago. The glst
of the decisions are that the land does
not belong to the United States govern
ment. but probably does belong to the
State Of Illinois.
The first case is that of George w.
Streeter and P. T. Johnson, who APP
piled to make homestead entries of about
$50 acres of land lying on both sides of
the Chicago river at It's mouth Ill Lake
Michigan.
Not Government Land.
1t i a point of land filled in by dump
ing between the meander line, estab-
lished by the government survey III
1921. II the present water line. John
son claims to have lived there l Il
house built on piles for l6 years, and
Streetcr claims to have been wrecked
there i'll 1886 and to have lived there for
two years. Technically this land is
part Of sections 3 and 10, Of township
80, and these sections, the secretary
says were selected by the state i'll 1921
for canal purposes under authority OF
all act Of congress.
The secretary says the State of Illinois
owns the lands under the navigablt
waters of Lake Michigan within its lin
its, and that filling in by any person Oh
corporation not the owners OF shore lane
gives them no riparian rights. In any
case, he says, the government has III
title and therefore could convey non t.
any claimant. The other cases are sim
! liar.

CABINET SUMMONED
RoSebery's Government Said
to Be in Very PreCariouS
Condition..
A VERY HASTY MEETING
Supposed for Some Moments
That the Government Had
Been Defeated.

LONDON, Feb. 20.-There is much gos-
zip in political circles, owing to the fact
that Lord Roseber1y, the prime minis
ter, upon his arrival at the official resi-
dence hastily summoned a meeting of
the cabinet. The measures taken to
summon the ministers We're rather eX-
traordinary. Messengers We're dispatched
i'll cabs to the residences of the different
ministers and all came to the meeting,
which lasted fully an honr. The pre-
carious condition of the party, as shown
by the recent narrow majority on va
rious questions III the house of commons
and the fact that Lord Rosebery had Il
long conference at Buckingham palace
Monday afternoon With the queen, soon
after her arrival from the Isle of Wight,
and afterward held long conference
with the whips Of the liberal party, all
serve to increase rumors that
Dissolution Of Parliament Is Imminent.
For several minutes when the vote
was being taken in the house Of com
mons on Sir William Harcourt's motion
to close the address in reply to the
queens speech, it was confidently be-
lieved by the members of the opposition
| that it would be found that the govern
ment was defeated when the vote was
announced. In the crowded lobbies of
the house, it was impossible to ascertain
how the voting was going, but when
the division was nearly over, whisper
was circulated that the government was
defeated. The loudness Of the cheers
with which the Liberals greeted the an
nouncement of the figures showed the
extent of their anxiety which was ap-
parently we'll justified, as the vote was
279 to 2il, giving them but majority.

A JUDGES LIBERAL VIEW.

Recently there have been a number
OF arrests made in the various parts OF
the state, where timber abounds in
large quantities, for cutting timber on
United States vs.. Theodore Reder for
unlawfuly cutting timber, Judge Dundy
at Deadwood acquitted the defendant
with the following liberal and clear
expose of the law:
The laws of the United States relat-
ing TO cutting timber on public lands,
are somewhat peculiar In some por-
tions Of the country the laws are ex-
ceedingly stringent and penal. In sew
-erdl OF the states. of which South Da-
kOta is one, the present laws are ex-
ceedingly liberal, made SO apprehend
for wise and beneicent purpose. 1t
is not penal olfense for any citizen OF
this state TO cut timber on any of the
government lands, the same be cut for
the purpose Of developing The agricul.
tural or mineral resources Of the state,
or for the purpose OF being used in
manufacturing or other domestic pur-
poses within the state. The evident
purpose OF this recent legislation. II
seems TO me, is to utilize the timber
found in the country for the purpose OF
developing its resources in the way OF
building up cities, towns and the other
industries especially mentioned, and
when the timber is cut therefore, il
constitutes no otfense punishable under
any law of the United States. The law
is so comprehensive in it's terms that it
includes cutting for almost every pur.
pose for hich the timber can be used,
But there are exceptions. No person
whether living in the state or not car
go on the public land and cut the tim
Der for the purpose or with the inten,
of removing the same to another state
there to be used. Neither can any per
son wantonly cut the timber and de
stroy the same, nor can he do so fol
any purpose other than the ones de
scribed, without mourning the penalt,
described by the recent law.

gouth Dakota Counties Likely to BE Conn
PEELED 4" Give Up.
PIERRE, S. D., Feb 20.-Auditor Hip
pie has d.s 'Overed Il constitutional
clause which is likely to make things
very lively i'll the counties. If he is
correct in his Interpretation, and he is
very positive about it, the various coun-
ties have during the past five years ap-
propriated to their own use fully 800, 900
due the state school fund, and if his
view is sustained these counties will be
obliged to come to the front at once.
1t seems that the provision requiring
the turning of all fines into the school
fund has been entirely overlooked, and
those fines have been used by the cities
and counties for general tax purposes.
The fees imposed by circuit and county
courts by justice and city courts, except
for violating city ordinances under this
provision belong to the state. The au
ditor estimates that this fund, since the
admission of the state, has amounted tC
fully 100000 Just what will be done
in the matter has not been determined
but it is probable that the state will cal
on the various counties to pay over this
money at once, and will when it receive.
it, apportion it among them again.
