But Morrison county contained a
president of the United States once
before About twenty years ago
President Hayes went north over
the Northern Pacific one night. 1t
was in the early fall of the year
about water melon time. All the
small boys in town were up that
night. Somehow a. report was
started that the president liked
water melons, especially late in the
evening. just out of pure patriot
ism the lads gathered every water
melon in town, and had the fruit at
the depot, awaiting the pleasure OF
the chief executive of the nation. 1t
was intended to present the melons
to the presidential party, along with
list Of the owners of the raided
melon patches. But the train
didn't stop. Now wasn't there
n predicament and dilemma?
All the boys and all the melons!
Say, that was the only real bad time
some OF us ever had. 1t was nearly
half past eleven before everybody in
town was abed that night.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.

With one exception, the
speeches made at the receptions
to the Thirteenth regiment and
President Mckinley were time:
ly and appropriate. They were
generally suited to the occasion,
and of an appropriate character.
But a part of Gov. Lind's speech
was a strange expression to
come from a governor of Mime
sofa, or to come from any man
at such "a time. In his speech
at the Exposition building in
Minneapolis Gov. Lind said:
eve have reached a stage in
our national development which
eliminates the volunteer soldier
from the sphere of national ac-
tivity and influence for the fu-
ture.
The part which the volunteer
soldier has played in the forma-
ton and development of our in
stitutions and national life, as
their defender in times of danger
and as a civic leader in times of
peace, has furnished most of the
material for our history and the
inheritance Of glory and the
traditions of our people. His
mission under the constitution is
to suppress insurrection and to
repel invasion. 4 .
By our growth and develop
ment the mission of the Amer.
lean volunteer has come to an
end. For purposes of conquest
and subjugation he is unfit, for
he carries a conscience as well
as a gun. The volunteer soldier
has always stood for self gov
eminent, liberty and justice.
With your generation he will
pass from the stage of our ma
tional slife. His fame and his
example will continue the herit-
age of our people-the theme of
story and song. May the spirit
which has actuated him ever
guide our people and temper the
strength of the nation which
has outgrown him, with the
eternal principles for which he
fought and diee."
Tie governors remarks were
received very coldly by the inn
mense throngs that cheered the
wise and patriotic utterances
of the president and other speak
ers.

WAS NEARLY DITcHED.
A Cow Came Near Causing . Bad
Accident Saturday "a
Morning.

The Little Falls & Dakota train
met with an accident this morning,
which. everything considered, are.
suited very fo.tunately. The train
was approaching the city limits
coming down from Brainerd when
two cows made their appearance on
the track at the crossing about a
mile north Of the city. The engineer
whistled for them and they left the
track, one going on one side and tile
other on the other side Of the track.
The train was going at full speed,
and as the cows had left the track
the engineer did not slack NY. One
OF the GO VS. left the track on the op-
posite side from the rest Of the herd
and evidently wanted to lie with her
companions for she attempted to re-
cross the track in front of the train.
The cow was too slow in changing
her mind, for the engine struck her
and landed her in the cattle guard.
Being too low for the pilot to pick her
up the train passed over her, and her
fremains were strewn along the track
or several hundred feet. The engine
passed over the animal all right, but
the car next to the engine was de-
rallied. and although it was hauled
several hundred feet before the train
was stopped, it stayed on the ties,
and u more serious. wreck was
averted. The section crews with the
switch crew, under the direction of
Roadmaster hester soon had the car
back on the rails and the train left
here only about ali hour behind
time. .sAll the railroad men were
surprised that the whole train was
not ditched.'H
We did not learn the name OF
the owner of The unfOrtun-
ate bovine. but the com
pany's cluim agent will, no doubt,
soon find that out with the pe,legree
of the finest cow in the state sent in
with the claim for damages.

MORGAN'S CHARGES.
Managers of batavia School For the
Blind Mg Ike a Statement,

Batavin. y. ", July 1l.-Frank S.
Wood, treasurer. and Sidney A. Sher-
win. members of the board of managers
OF the State School For the Blind at Ba-
tavia, have issued a statement in refuta-
ton of Comptroller Morgans charges of
Irregularities in the management of this
institution.
They take up such of the comptroller 5
accusations as are at all specific and an
swer them in detail, explaining that the
action Of the board in awarding con-
tract for coal saved the state $S1 .4S;
that the matter was investigated by the
governor, who subsequently approved the
item In the supply bill, providing for the
payment of the coal dealer, whose claim,
however. has since been disallowed by
the comptroller.
The matter Of the gymnasium building,
they state, was practically wholly in the
hands of the state architect and the
comptroller, the managers taking no ac-
ton without the approval of the comp
troller's office except to select the site for
the building. AS to the carriage. the leg.
islature this year made an additional APP
preparation for the purpose but notwith-
standing the comptroller declines to pay
for it.
The managers say they court an inves-
tigation of their official acts and are
ready to meet an Investigating committee
at any time.

feeling Of hopefulncss that the Alaska
boundary question will be satisfactorily
settled. An officer of the colonial office
said: There is no reason why the pres
ent difficulty should not be overcome with
the friendly feeling existing between the
two countries. We fully expect that Il
modus vivendi will be arranged" The
present hitch, which was unforeseen
when the Dalton's trail and Kluckwan
village boundaries were settled, relates
to a few miles of territory extending
westward commencing at the junction Of
the Chilkoot and Klehein rivers. The
boundary northward thereto has been ar
ranged, but the settlement of the bound
arv sonthwnrd therefrom is still pending.

PASSES Away.
New York, July 11.-Lloyd Aspinwall
the son of the late General Lloyd Aspin.
wall, died at the Metropolitan hotel In
the presence of his brother William and
number of acquaintancss. His end was
peaceful. He met death bravely-met II
with the same insouciant holiness that
he has faced desperate chances on the
back Of thoroughbred or at the helm Of
yacht in gale. For long time the
fatal termination of his disease, kidney
trouble complicated by other ailments,
had been known to him.
Aspinwall was the grandson Of William
FL. Aspinwall, one of the merchant
princes Of his day. He founded house
which lasted to the second and third gen.
erations, sent ships to every part of the
globe and amassed a fortune very great
In the days when multimillionaires were
few.
The business descended tc his son,
Lloyd Aspinwall, who became a general,
and In time to the man who has just
passed away In what should have been
the prime Of life.
But the Lloyd Aspinwall Of the pres
ent generation had no love for business.
He felt that his inherited fortune was
sufficient to meet all demands and he
set out to spend it with royal prodigali-
ty. He succeeded in carrying out his pur-
pose to the last limit and little beyond.
He was married to Miss Nina Sutton,
the daughter of Cornelius Sutton, a
young woman wealthy in her own right.
Two children were born to them, but
their married life was unhappy. and at
last she left him, and shortly after she
and her little daughter died.

THE FUTURE OF LIBERIA.
An Effort to bring About . United
States protectOrate.

States PrOtectOrate.
Washington, July 11.-Bishop Grant Of
the African Methodist Episcopal church
called at the White House to try to in
tsrest the president in the establishment
OF protectorate over Liberia. The
bishop goes to the negro republic every
year to attend the conference of his
church and has just returned from one
of these visits. This year he heard much
talk Of union in some form with the
United States, and 1t has been reported
In the English papers that DR.. Blyden is
already on his way to this country to re-
quest formally. on behalf of his people,
that the United States should extend its
protecting hand over Liberia. In speak
ing of the project Bishop Grant said
when I was in Liberia in April, l
talked with President Coleman and his
cabinet as to the proposed protec crate.
President Coleman is a native of Vir-
ginia and a very able man. He and his
cabinet express a desire to keep their
government to themselves for awhile
longer.
But believe 1t should be annexed to
the United States and made one Of tho
states of the Union. Why not? 1t is
now ruled by Americans or descendants
of Americans; the language and habits
are American.
"As told President Mckinley, Eng
land, France and Germany are all hun
CRY for Liberia. Their representatives
are on excellent terms with the officials
of the Liberian government, and they
are plainly preparing to gobble up the
little republic.
"If Liberia were only state of this
Union line of steamers would be estab-
lished between New York and Monrovia,
with weekly sailings. There is no such
line now, while England has 60 ships
running to and from the western coast
OF Africa, and they are all doing a big
business. am in hope that the present
administration will not go out Of power
without taking some steps in the direc-
ton of admitting Liberia to statehood"
