ing the expedition which co-operated

the monitor Patapsco in the siege OF

was wounded by the premature explo-
sion of a shell in the turret of. the
Patapsco. He was on the staff of Ad-
miral Dahlgren and received honor

JOHN s. PILLSBURY.

John S. PilIsbury is dead. This
announcement will be received
with a sense Of personal bereaVe-
ment to the people of the state of
Minnesota to whom he was en-
deared by life of devotion to their
interests. He was easily Mime
sota's first citizens. To enumerate
all the public acts of his which
won him this proud distinction
would be to write the history of
natural progress of the state for the
first forty years.
To him was accorded the proud
distinction of being the only gov
ernor who has thrice held that
office, and his election in e>e::y case
was due tc a spontaneity of sen,i-
ment which is w.t. o Vt parallel.
Perhaps the tWog e,testteatures
in his career were the saving and
elevating Of the State University
to its proud position, and the pro-
motion of the legislature which re-
suited in the payment of the dis
credited bonds of the State of
Minnesota -bJth matters OF history
familiar to all.

The Federation of Woman's

an interesting convention. The
question of recognizing delegates
from clubs of colored women was
discussed and decided against such

St. Paul, asking recognition. The
color line is as sharply drawn in
Minnesota as in Mississippi. At the

the question at Owatonna, Booker

Rev Zimmerman of St. Marks Luth-
eran church of Emporio, Kas., preach
ed on the subject of Mormonism re-
Gently. He stated that in some re-
spects travelling men resemble Nor
mons, as they had wives in every city

sensation in the audience which was
quite audible so much so that the
preacher hesitated and then remarked:
81 don't make this as personal re-
mark. l don't mean that all travelling
men have wives in every city that they

1t is unfortunate that minister

At the sale of Statei lands at Wa
dena last week, there were nearly
1000 acres sold at an average price of
1871, against an average price i've
years ago of s. SO. The range in
prices the land sold for was Sc to 1880.
There was big attendance as there is
at all the land sales now being held in
the northern part of the State, as the
sales are indeed golden opportunities
to get cheap land. There will never
be another such opportunity to secure
land so cheap from the State or from
any one else. Minnesota farm land is
as good as gold. At the sale at Moor
head Clay county school lands
brought all the way from 81 to $50,
several of tie tracts selling at 1928.
In the sale of state lands in Becker
county the average price was S9.14.-
Union.
The purchase and settlement of
the lands in northern Minnesota at
the prices Indicated has had and
is having the natural effect of in
creasing the value of lands farther
south. In this vicinity the price
has increased from ten to thirty
per cent. within the past three
years, and the enquiry is more &C
tive than ever before. There is
very little land in the vicinity in
the hands of so-called speculations.
