CROWD1NG 'EM OUT.

The advances of. immigration
and influx of new settlers to this
Locality threatens the business of
the stockmen, particularly those
who have cattle in considerable
numbers. Many stockmen are
purchasing and leasing large
tracts of land in order to insure
themselves undisputed grazing

moving into the hills and the
palmy days of the cattlemen on
the fertile plains of the Missouri
slope are passing away as the
lands are being taken by the til
lers of the soil.

In many ways, John Lind,
ex-governor of Minnesota, has
shown not only a high capacity
but disernment in the fitness
of things that attracts the minds
of thinkers as one when once
out from the environment of
the vast network of political
web that hampers an executive
in many ways. has a much
clearer PERCEPTION Of public du-
|ty since the clouds of care have
been lifted from his shoulders.
But ais ex.executive and politi-
cal leader he is not alone in this
as instance the utterances from
a private standpoint of two of
the nations ex-presidents Har-
rison and Cleveland They
could see many errors in the
seclusion of private life that
passed them by unnoticed in
the rush and whirl of official
business while they had charge
|of the helm of state. From
this, probably, came the sugges-
tion to make our ex-presidents
Fife senators and by the same
line of reasoning our ex-gov-
Iernors should wear the toga of
State senator during lifelimited
only by extreme age and senal-
| itya period which few public
men; reach. .t.sss4 fsszst
While OH the whole ex-Gov.
Lind seemed to have made q
fairly good executive for the
Gopher State, he let the bars of
lncompetency down bad, when
he put Beutner in Fullerton's
place as executive officer of the
Minnesota Game Commission,
and while exegincies of politics
and partisanship demanded the
change, events accumulate to
show that the ex-governor had
ideas of his own which were
kept in allegiance to the needs
of party policy.
Publishers ofbooks over the
country say there is at present
a great demand for books on the
American wild animals and on
studies for their domestication.
Something of this kind came
up last week when Mr.. Lind
addressed a letter to the present
|Govcrnor Van SAINT endorsing
and encouraging the placing in
EaLd propagation of a colony of
1beaver in 1tasca Park. In his
letter, tho ex-governor says:

ment Of public funds that il likely to

when you open the door, said Matleek.
The knocker did not accept the invita-
ton. Mrs. Matlock, who had gone to bed
called out that they had better look cut
what they said, because the knocker
might be the ghost
The card players went to the door and
listened. They heard low means and re-
cognized Marko's voice. They debated for
some time about the advisability of OPEN
ing the door, and at last one of the party.
who was great excit'," threw the door
OPEN Then all five saw the ghost Of
Marko. He stood in the hall at the head
of the stairs and pointed a forehnger at
them that looked to be eight or nine
inches long in the lamplight and said
nothing but faded out of sight. The mn
ger was the last of him that faded.
The card party stopped right there. The
Matlocks' guests started for home and did
not say when they would come again.
The good old folk themselves sat up all
night by the lamp. They said they heard
footsteps in the empty house next door
and that they heard the gost muttering
to itself.
The next day Matlock went to see
Father Januschek. The father told him
that the best way to prevent ghost
from interrupting a card game was to re-
frain from gambling. Matlock said that
there seemed to be much justice in the
priests view of the matter, but please,
wouldn't the father come and see what
could be done about the house?
Father Januschek said that he would.
Holy Writ, he said, teaches that there are
not only spirits of good. but that there
are also spirits of evil, and it might be
that the ghost of John Marko was
spirit of evil. He had once or twice here
tofore driven out evil spirits and he was
willing to try again. He went to the
house with a vessel of holy water and
made cross upon every door and window
and blessed the house. Then, according
to the small girl before quoted, he came
out in the street and holied the whole
row."
No one has seen or heard of the ghost
since. The Matlocks are quite satisfied
that it has gone for good and have dis
continued their somewhat expensive prac
tice of keeping a light burning all night.
