ROORBACK IS NAILED
Latest Campaign Attack on Govern
or Van SAINT Falls to the
Ground.
Steamboats, Of His Company Have
Always Been Assessed at
Muscatine, Iowa.

The lie has been given to the latest
democratic roorback. Driven to desperate
straits for campaign material, the demo-
Gratis have charged Governor Van SAINT
with paying no taxes on his steamboats,.
They are not assessed at WinOna, the
governors home, and therefore the demo-
Gratis assume that they are not taxed at
all.
The boats are assessed at Muscatlne,
Iowa, and the boats have paid taxes there
ever since the company was incorporated.
1t was founded by J. w. Van SAINT the
governors father. before the governor
himself moved to Minnesota, and much OF
the stock of the company Is owned In
Iowa. Several years ago Governor Van
SAINT submitted the question to the city
attorney Of Winona. who ruled that the
boats should be taxed in Iowa and not in
Minnesota
Governor Van SAINT is, not a tax dodger.
He pays s240 personal property tax in
Winona, more than some men far

IS WAITE UNBALANCED ?
A Minnesota University Man Makes

From Tho journal Bureau, Room Is. Pes

Building, Warrington.
Washington, Oct. 25.-The mental con-
dition Of Frederick C. Waite, recently a
clerk In the census office, formerly Of
Winona, Mimi, was under investigation
in the district supreme court yesterday.
Waite was arrested some days ago
charged with disturbing the congregation
of the Central Baptist church by forcing
his religious views upon it's members, and
the police court judge held him to deter
mine his sanity.
Members of the church testified that
they tried to talk him into silence and
were even forced to drown his voice by
singing on several OCCASIONS when he
persisted In speaking in harsh terms Of
Rev. Mr.. Squire. who supplied the pulpit
for a short time. Remarks rejecting upon
the character Of Ruth and several other
women Of the Bible brought Mr.. Waite
to the defense of the women and provoked
trouble which threatened to disrupt the
| church. Attempts to silence the man of
fixed convictions were without avail. In
reply to those who opposed him he quoted
scripture. When scoffers Kissed and
booted at the prolonged and animated
scripture interpretations Of Waite he usu-
ally quoted the following from Kings,
| which showed the torments that Elisha
suffered:
And he went up from thence unto
Bethel, and as he was going up by the
| way. there came forth little children GU,
of the city and Knocked him and said unto
him. Go up, thou baldhead, go up, thou
bald-head' Another selection used by
Waite to quiet the members of the con.
gregation was the following psalm
| BLESSED Is the man that walketh not
| In the counsel Of the ungodly, nor stand
eth in the way Of sinners. nor stitch
| in the seat of the scornful." = 4,
Testimony was given by members d
| the church tending to show an unbal-
anced mind. and witnesses were intro.
duced who knew Waite when he was en-
ployed in the census office and In the
| agricultural department as an expert
statistician. They testified that he was
man Of fine attainments and pronounced
religious views. and expressed the Opin
| ion that he was not insane.
Ralph M. Mckenzie, assistant to the
librarian of congress, an fAnoka county
man, testified that he knew Waite wher

he is undoubtedly man of genius. What
