At Rest.

The death of Geo., W. Salmond,
which was briefly mentioned in the
HERALD last week, which occurred
early Thursday morning, August %,
removes from the activities OF life
a man every way worthy of encomium.
In every relation of life he discharged
his duty fearlessly, energetically and
with the utmost oonscientiousness,
he was one OF the most genial of men,
kind and generous, keenly intelligent,
On independent thinker and in form
Ing judgments of men and events he
was remarkably sound and accurate.
He was farmer of . type which ele-
Yates agriculture, dignifies labor, and
makes rural life attractive. He was
progressive and practical. AS citi-
zen he assumed all the responsibilities
and discharged them faithfully: as a
neighbor he was kind, considerate
and helpful; as father, firm and yet
indulgent; as a husband faithful and
tender-a true man always and every.
where. Those who knew him most in.
timately esteemed him most highly.
While the blow falls heaviest upon
his devoted wife and children, the
entire community keenly feels his re-
moval from its midst. The full meas
ure of sympathy is extended to all
those upon whom the hand of afliction
has been SO heavily laid. He was
buried in the West Union cemetery,
Rev. Mr.. Moon, the Baptist minister,
officiating.
George Washington Salmond was
born in Philadelphia, Pa, June II,
1924. His boyhod days were spent in
the states of Delaware and New Jer-
sey. At the age of 81 he, with his
fathers family, moved into Indiana
where in 1858 he marr..u Levluia
Hoffman, and in 1856 with his wife, he
came to Minnesota, locating at Shak-
opee. In 1852 he came to Sank Centre,
and has ever since resided near the
city. He Was appointed deacon of the
Baptist church when it was first Or
gained at Fairy Lake and held that
Office up to the time OF his death.
A wife and three children survive him:
Gus. Salmond, OF Park Rapids, Mrs.
Belle Collins and A. G. Salmond of
Sank Centre.
A son Oscar and daughter, Anna,
died in California within the past few
years, and daughter, the wife of Day.
ton Herbert of West Union, passed
away about seventeen years ago.
Will the many dear friends who
remem bered US with so much kindly
aid and sympathy in the hour of our
great bereavement accept our heart
felt thanks.

course in philosophy and philology at
the Ann Arbor University, Michigan.
Prof. Kaiser came to St. Cloud in
1871, and two years later was ap.
pointed county superintendent of
schools, an Office which he held sue
cessfully until 1880, when he resigned
to accept the principalship Of the
independent District school of St.
Cloud, with the position of organist
at the church of the Immaculate Con-
ception. From there he went to the
Cathedral in similar capacity. He
filled these positions until 1896, since
which time he has been prominently
Identified with the musical and educa-
tional circles of the city. Prof.
Kaiser is a gentleman, a finished
scholar and musician, and MANY of
the present business men of the city
received their educational training
at his hands. He has a life certi-
ficate conferred by H. B. Wilson,
state superintendent of Minnesota
During his stay in ST. Cloud many
hattering offers have been declined by
Mr.. Kaiser. President w. w. Fol-
we'll, of the University of MINES ota,
rendered him the profess orship of
modern languages in 1875, and H. Il.
Moeller, of the University of St.
LOUIS, rendered him the chair of latin
and music in 1886. A year later
through Otto Dreher, the chairman of
the appointments committee of the
st. Paul public school board, he was
rendered the professorship of latin and
music in the st. Paul High schools.
Prof. Kaiser, as will be shown by
this short history, is on educator of
ability, and has wide experience in
the Office he now seeks at the hands of
the democratic voters of the county at
the primaries on September Is.

The moi OrioiiS hero Of Lac qui Parle
county, j. Il. jacobson. has come forth
with the announcement that he will
not be ii candidate for state auditor
this fall. From other sources it is
surmised that Jake" will he a cam

writing on the wall which plainly
states that Jake will moi cut much
ice in the northern part of the state
if he should be candidate and still
less if he is not. The state auditor

the better Of the two. Should how

SEVERAL ST. Louis county people
would very much desire to be sheriff
next year Judging by the political
aspirations that are rampant and
loud voiced. The present incumbent.
w. G. Sargent. will be up for the
nomination on the Republican ticket
as will also Archie Philip and A. P.
Cook. Several others have also been
mentioned as prospective Republican
candidates. Besides there are the
usual grist of Democratic aspirants.
The salary basis does not seem to af-
feet the situation near as much as
the legislature thought it would. At
the time the matter Of removing the
fee system was proposed in the legis-
lature some were of the opinion the
office of sheriff would go begging.

Tax Deeds No Good.

The action Of the supreme court in
unfolding a decision by the district
court on absolute tax deeds has
created stir all over the state.
The decision wipes out practically
all of the absolute deeds ever issued,
because it is wholly in opposition to
the custom that has been in effect.
The effect of the decision is that no
absolute deed is valid unless il in
cludes all taxes cue on the property
The custom has been in the past to
include only taxes that were delin-
uuent, but this requires that current
taxes as we'll be included.
The case came up on Lake county
case in district court in Duluth and
Judge Ensign held that because the
current taxes were not paid an abso-
lutte deed was void. The case was
appealed and recently the supreme
court affirmed the decision Of the
district court.
When property is sold at the delin-
ouent tax sale and bid in for the State
absolute deeds can be secured on it
by paying up all delinquent taxes
after three years have passed and the
regular notice of the expiration of
the period of redemption is given. In |
the nast this has simply been held to
mean delinquent taxes and current
taxes were not included. The blanks
used all over the state were based on
this plan, approved by the state aud
tors office and the attorney general.
Now that this decision has been
handed down, all of the deeds ever J
