Senator ciapp's Boyhood.

Ms ii. Love, former editor of the
Kitson County Enterprise, now liv-
ing II Texas, went to school together
with Moses E. Clapp, and III a letter
to afriend, published in the St. Vim
cent New Era, he gives the following
interesting facts concerning his boy
hoqf and early struggles:
Last week the wires announced
thai Moses E. Clapp, St. Paul at.
torney, had been elected by the Min.
nesota lawmakers to succeed G. K.
DaPis, deceased, as United States
SeIator. Such news can but cause
the writer's heart to beat with pride,
to see one of his most stalwart friends
and class mates honored to one of the
highest Offices in the gift of the peo-
pley We can go back few years tc
schoolboy days, and can there see the
black haired boy, with one hand on
the plow, while in the other was held
the. ox-whip, which kept the dumb
brutes, hitched to the plow, in motion
We can recall his bright-eyed sister,
who was determined that her brother
Noses should make a great man, if
her hard earned money could aid
him. Miss Clapp was, when young
in Iears, elected as superintendent of
schools, in their old Wisconsin home;
and sat that time her brother began
the study Of law. He was admitted
to the bar, and went to Fergus Falls,
Mimi, where he began his practice,
and ::soon became one of the most
prominent criminal lawyers Of that
great state. In 1856 Mr.. Clapp was
elected attorney general and reelected
IN 1888, at which time he dropped out
of politics and devoted his time to
some iron mines he had secured near
Duluth, which made him untold
wealth: From 1888 until last year
Gen. Clapp devoted his time to his
mining interests and that of his
charming wife and children, but last
fall he was chief campaign speaker in
Minnesota, and it would seem that as
a reward for his services republican
House aud Senate had honored him
by electiag him to EEL The seat So ably
occupied for years, by Minnesota S
great statesman, Cushman K. Davis.
All honor to Senator Clapp, who has,
step by step, climbed the ladder of
fame, till he has reached the city of
the White House. May his sterling
qualities as boy and man more
fully remind the rising generation,
there is always room at the top of
fame's ladder. ~--.

PaulsOn Convicted.

Erick Paulson, the Pepin, Wiscon.
sin, murderer, who has recently been
tried and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for life, spent some time at
| Thief Lake, in Marshall acounty,
while trying to evade justice. The
Thief River Falls Press gives the fol-
lowing account of his horrible crime :
Erick l. Paulson, son of Paul Tron-
ner, farmer, lived with his father
near Pepin, Wisconsin, on June 10Th,
1898. Paulson had a hard reputa-
ton, having served when boy in the
reform school for stealing harness,
and put in a term subsequently at
Saltwater for stealing rye. On the
date above mentioned, a farmer
named Sheldon, living a mile and a
half from Pepin, drove into town with
his wife to attend a soldiers reunion,
leaving the house in charge of their
l6 year old daughter Mary. When
they returned the house was in flames
with neighbors working at it and the
bod y of the child could be seen
through the cellar windows lying on
/ a pile Of cord wood III the middle of
ftheAcellar with the back of her head
crushed in. The body could not be
recovered until after the fire when it
was almost consumed, but a portion
Of the cordwood, which must have
been placed there subsequent to the
departure of the old people, was
found. Paulson had been seen in
the n"ighborhood just before the fire
and disappeared Immediately after,
so suspicion at once fastened upon
him, and by watching his fathers
house the officers succeeded in cap
turing him after a few weeks. He
broke jail on July % and was not re-
captured until April II, 1900, when a
telegram to the chief of Police of
Fosston from the operator at Bagley,
who formerly lived at Pepin, an
nounced that man resembling Paul
son was on the train. Chief Smith at
once made the arrest and has subse-
quently traced the life of Paulson
since the murder in so skillful man
ner that the chain of evidence is COM
plete. 1t seems that farmer Sheldon
had in his house at the time of the
fire tin box containing $4S5, of
which there was II twenty dollar gold
pieces. No trace Of this gold could
be found in the ruins of the house.
although the tin box was recovered.
Paulson, going by the names of Tom
Flynn and John Riley, went to Dako-
ia for the harvest and then appeared
at Thief Lake. He seemed to earn
no money but always had plenty, and
witnesses from this vicinity were
brought to prove the disposal Of nine
$40 gold pieces in and about Thief
River Falls. Paulson left Thief
Lake July 12, 1899, after making a
bluff with gun at a resident there,
and when arrested was evidently re-
turning to that vicinity from Duluth.

MGovERN WILL REST.

Terry McGovern, the greatest of all
American boxers, is planning to take
things easy this season. He will spend
the warm months on the race tracks
looking after the string of crack flyers
which he is interested in with his
clever manager, Sam Harris McGov-
ern and Harris will have quite an ar
ray of turf performers, and while Ter
ry will simply be in the game for
pleasure, Harris,who is quite plunger,
will make things lively for the bookies.
While on the turf McGovern and his
manager will figure out their plans for
next fall, and it is likely that one of
the big boxing clubs in England will
secure the wonderful boxer for an ex-
hibition in England before he starts
out on his American tour after the
close of the racing season.

SAN FRANCISCO FIGHTS.

The only place in the country where
the pugilistic pot has a chance to dc
any simmering is in San Francisco,
With that lone spot left for the fight
ers there is likely to be more doing
than the. pot will hold. Since the
closing down of the game in the other
parts of the country the pugilists have
been heading for the coast. Frank
Erne, Terry McGovern, Matty Mat
thews and others are in line for fights
in San Francisco. Tim Hegarty is
coming over from Australia. Frank
Erne intends to remain in California
until May in the hope of securing a
return match with McGovern, although
Erne says that he expects McGovern
will refuse to meet him while there is
easier game in sight.

SECOND EDITION OF MICHAEL.

A second edition of Jimmy Michael
may be thrust upon the American pub
lie this season. His name is Michael,
and he is younger brother of the IL
lustrious Jimmy, and resides in Wales.
Jimmy has been anxious to bring his
brother out for some years, but has
failed, because his folks in Wales
would not listen to it. The little
champion has some ideas of succeed
ing this season, and has written over
to his home to send the lad along i'm
mediately. Jimmy says that his
brother is even smaller and lighter
than himself, but has made a mark
upon the wheel thus early, insuring a
bright future for him. Arthur Lin
ton, who rode himself to death in a
cycle race; Tom Linton reported to
be worth 100000 today, and Jimmy
Michael, all came from Aberammon, a
little town in Wales. These three riders
earned $250,000 on the cycle track dur
ing their careers, and Michael and
Tom Linton are still at it. Tom is
coming to America again this season,
and will be prominent figure in the
paced championship race.

Members of the various bowling
leagues of Chicago that are affiliated
with the Illinois Bowling Association
have given considerable thought to the
proposition to limit bowler to play
ing in two leagues, says Chicago Post
One of the Oldest bowling enthusiasts
in the city, and a man who has given
freely of his time in obtaining bowling
legislation and founding leagues, says
that the I. B. A. would simply have to
declare that it had no Jurisdiction in
the case should the matter be brought
to an issue in the regular meeting of
/. the l. B. A.
These rollers are not professionals"
said the veteran. "They bowl because
they are infatuated with the game,
and, being able to make high averages,
they find great pleasure in rolling for
every league that will take them in.
The /. B. A. cannot legislate for in
dividuals. 1t is an association of league
organizations formed to promote the
sport. II John Doe chooses to Join
two, ten or twenty clubs, pays his dues
and rolls with those clubs, it will not
be within the province of the I. B. A.
to say when he shall roll and when he
shall not.
How Plan Would Reform.
IAN official of two leagues says that
all interest in the Chicago league had
been killed by the Holman team with
Its great rollers. No team in the
league ever expected to head the Brill
ponies, and with the season only lit
tie more than half over the other
league teams gave up the ghost. The
men on the Holman team were on it
last season. Some. it is true, roll with
other league teams, but that is their
pleasure. That some of the clubs reach
out after the crack bowlers Is another
charge. If they do they do not pay
tor the services of these men. 1t is
human nature for men to get together
winning team. All the world loves
winners If l could still roll away up
In the high average row I would not
object to being roller on the leading
teams of four or five leagues.
Fortunate indeed is the man who
can roll high and steadily, if he has
the time to join several clubs. One
young man, well known among follow
ers of the sport, is studying law. His
father thought he was seeing the name
OF the son in the newspaper reports
OF league games entirely too often, and
told him that his law should not suffer.
The young man loves the game. He
also greatly desires to become a good
lawyer. In order to keep up his bowl
ing he studies early in the morning,
before breakfast, on the elevated trains
and often while waiting his turn to
roll. If that is not enthusiasm, have
missed my guess"
