PRESIDENT CHOSEN |
NEW COMMISSION.
Judge Taft First Member Ap-
pointed on Philippine Board
May be the First Governor.


president today appointed Judge
William ii Taft of Cincinnati, and
United States Judge of the Sixth
Judicial circuit, to he president of
the new Philippine commission.
The announcement was made qt
the close of tOday's cabinet ses-
sion. Judge Taft has been in
Washington several days presum.
ably coming at the request Of the
president. This morning he call
ed at the White House a little he.
fore 10 O'Clock in company with
Judge VIM r Day, former secre-
tary of state, and later pre- sident
of the Paris peace commission.
They remained with the president
until the cabinet met-at II
o'clock-and Joined him again
after the cabinet had adjourned
On leaving the White House,
Judg" Taft stated that the cons
mission of which he had been ap-
pointed president would sail for
the Philippines soon after March
Is, and It's special mission would
he the establishment of a civil
government for the islands. Fur
ther than that he was not at lib
erty to speak. 1t is understood
that the other members of the
commission will be designated
within very short time and that
the special instructions which will
guide them in the discharge of
their duties will be prepared at as
early day as possible. The ap-
pointment of this commission is
carrying out the suggestions of
the present Philippine commission,
which. will shortly 60 out of ex-
lstence. Some of the mem bsrs of
the old commission, it is said,
will be appointed on the new.
Judge Taft is the first selection
for the new Philippine commits
sion. There will be five mbers,
all civilians, Mr. Schurmun, pIesi-
dent of the existing commission,
has declined for business reaso ons
to remain on the commission,
go Judge Taft will he presi.
dent in his place. Mr. Den
by and Prof Worcester have been
invited to accept reappointments
but have Mt SO far Slgnitied their
intentions. Admiral Dewey will
not 90 back to Manila and Gen
Otis will give way, like him, to a
civilian. Secretary Root said to-
day that no new instructions had
been framed for the new commits
sion as yet, but it would he easy
to perceive from the sentiment
set out in the president message
on the SUBJ ect what these in
structions would be.
Judge Taft called at the wal
department today in company with
Judge Day, and ha Il long talk
with Secretary Root as to the
plans for the co nmission. A.
some surprise has been caused by
the Willingness of Judge Taft to
surrender a life position of the
dignity and emolument of United
States circuit Judge to join the
commission, it may be said that
the prevalent impression Is that
as soon as the commission shall
have succeeded in replacing the
existing military government in
the Philippines with stable gov
ernmsnts, Judge Taft will be
named as the first civil governor
general of the archipelago. 1t is
not thought that this change will
take place at once, but the com
mission is expected to move stead
lily toward that object, aud to set
up local civil governments as fast
as the Filipinos shall demonstrate

was born at Benton, Elkhart Co., Ind.
Sert. q, 1897, died at Davis City, Iowa,
April 81, 1900, aged 62 years, I months
and IL days. He was married to Hulda
McNutt June 20, '6l, at Benton, Ind.
Shortly after his marriage he removed
with his companion to Wisconsin, where
he resided about Is years. With his
family ne came to reside in Davis City
10 the year 'S6. His wife died about
hye years ago and just six weeks prior
to his death he buried his only son,
Ed. Hockert. His death was from blood
poisoning oceasioned by splinter be.
ing run into his hand. He was sick
only about four days. He leaves two
daughters, two brothers and two sisters
to mourn his departure. His funeral
was from the l.. ID. S. chapel Sunday at
8 p. m. under the auspices of the Mason
lc fraternity, sermon being preached by
Eld. Fred E. Blair, of Lamont. The
large concourse of people that attended
the funeral obsequies showed the high
esteem in which he was held. He had
never allied himself with any religious
organization, though he acknowledged
his faith in God and the Christ. The
honesty and upnghtness of his daily
lie was worthy of imitation. The sym.
pathy of the entire community is with
his daughters and especially to the
doubly afflicted one who was care taker
OF the home of her father and lately de-
ceased brother, by whose deaths she is
left alone.
MAY He the father to tn. fatherless'

The average temperature of the past
seven days was from % to 40 above nor.
NAL. The rainfall on the 18th and 18th
was we'll distributed, and quite heavy in
the northern and eastern districts.
There is now abundant moisture for
present needs in all parts Of the state,
and in some districts the excess was suf-
6cient to cause considerable delay in
completing the seeding Of oats and bar
ley.

days, and the time was well improved
IN finishing seeding. planting potatoes,
and preparing ground for corn planting.
Flowing is now well under way, and
there will be large acreage in readiness
when the season for planting arrives.
The warm weather following the rains
was very favorable for the termination
of grain, and the vigorous growth Of
grass in pastures and meadows. In re-
spect to starting of grass and foliage Of
plants and trees the season is now fully
advanced to the average. Fruit pros

Large FIRES.

Large forest fires arc raging through
some of the timber in this state, very
large amount having burned along the
Fosston branch of the Great Northern
and on both tho Mesaba and Vermillion
ranges. The Bon Ami reported last
night that there were several fires be-
tween this point and Two Harbors, at
one of which about 100000 feet of logs
at Silver Creek were afirs.
Unless there are heavy rains soon the
danger of fire in this and other timber
counties is very great, and great care
should be taken when out camping.
