Where is White Rock?

The people of White Rock are con-
siderably agitated over recent
discovery concerning the boundary
line between the two states, that
leaves them in doubt as to whether
they are resi- Tents of South Dakota
or Minnesota. The channel of the
Bots de Sioux river is the fixed line
and it has been supposed that this
channel was east of town. but recent
investigation and surveys prove that
the true channel runs west of the
village, and, if this fact is officially
established, White Rock will be-
come Minnesota town and will be
added to the list of thriving little
cities within Traverse county. 1t is
said that the early surveys made
locate the channel west of the town.
and the depth Of water and the
current of the stream in time of high
water prove beyond doubt that this
is the true ch'nnel, later surveys
being responsible for the error in it's
location, 1t is said at White Rock
that this state has made a demand
to have the error corrected and the
strip of land in question transferred
to the jurisdiction Of Minnesota.
The paonle of that progressive burg
are enthusiastically in favor of the
move and will do all they can to
help it along, as the change would
give them easy access to the county
seat and also much more convenient
communication with the state capital.
IL true, it is certainly state of
affairs as surprising as it is unusual.

Death Of join, WhippIe.

John Whipple, probably the oldest
settler in this portion of Minnesota,
died at the Globe Hotel in this city
on Sunday morning from complica'
ton of diseases, chief among which
was fatty degeneration of the heart.
The funeral was held from the
Globe Hotel on Tuesday afternoon
and was in charge of Overton Post,

funeral sermon.

living settler of Stevens county, was
born in jefferson county, New York

sofa, we have been unable to learn
anything except that during the war,
he was enlisted in the 1O9th New
York Volunteer Cavalry.
He seems to have served to pear
the end of the war, for it was3 not
until "a that he was in Minnesota
driving freight waP on-or ''toting"
as it was called-from St. Cloud
thru to Fort Wadsworthss and other
forts in Dakota. In '66 he settled
in Stevens county and trapped up
and down the valley of the Pomme
de Terre, wi ich was then Astounding
in muskrats. He was thus the5 first
settler in this county west Of the
Pomme de Terre, aud at the time OF
his death was the oldest living
settler Of the county. He was never
married and for manyss years smade
his home with the Flisbie family.
Later he and his sister Mary
lived on small place back of where
John House now lives. This place
was the property of the sister, and
when she died in '97, she left it to
Mrs. Jas. Griffith, who had been
very kind to her in her last Sickness
4 life estate in the property was re-
served for Mr.. Whipple.
Since his sisters death, Mr..
Whipple has boarded at the Globe
Hotel. He was a man Of striking
appearance, always we'll dressed,
with white hair and beard, and
soldierly bearing. His last years
have been spent quietly, surrounded
ov the comforts OF civilization, of
which he was the pioneer in this
section. He was man who had the
respect and good will of all who
knew him.

THE zEMsTOvES.
Some Interesting Facts About 4
People Who Are Now Much
Discussed.

A correspondent of The Republi-
can Herald writes to jnq lire, "Whst
are the Zemstoves that we read so
much about in the Russian reform
movements" The zemstva, to use
the plural, are the hope OF Russian
progress. They stand between an
American county board and a state
legislature. They represent much
larger and more populous divisions
than Winona county, for example,
but this population covers a wider
range of TERRITORY. By foreign
writers they are called provincial
chambers, There were no zemstva
in Russia until 1868, when they were
created by ukase of Car Alexander
II Little by little the bureaucrats
have succeeded in controlling their
influence for good and as result
these provincial chambers have
dwindled in number and power
Under the late tyrant Won Plebe
they we're practically crushed, but a
change has come over the spirit of
Russian authority and the zemstva
promises greater things in the future
for the Russian people. They have
been composed mainly of rural land
owners, mobiles who knew the needs
of their own districts and provinces.
Charity has been made more effective
The primary schools created and
maintained by authority of the zem'
stovs have been the best in Russia.
Had Il not been for the ASSASSINATION
of Alexander III, in 1881, the pro-
vincial chambers might have won
their way by their good works, but
his fate made fercely reactjonary
rnle, of his son and successor, and
until now Nicholas II, like Alexander
I'LL, has seemed to fear the local
self government of the zemstvos and
lends himself to the schemes OF those
bureaucrats who have sougto to
monopolize all governmental author
ity in the hands of direct and Indirect
appointees of the emperor.
The old fear of the zemstva appears
to have been reawako3ed by the re-
fusal of the car to grant permission
to their meeting in st. Petersburg
The bureaucrats know that tire as,
cendancy of the zemstva means
their downfall,as representative govern
ment is almost sure to follow. They
speak and stand for local rig hts anC
local freedom, and all the force o.
the provincial mobiles represented II
the zemstva will be felt on the side
of their neighbors of high degree anc
low, against the centralized dospotisn
which seems to be giving way at las
before the forces Of progress led by
the uew minister of the interior
The present struggle in Russia be
tween the people and the nobility i
one that is fraught with veal or wo
to the czar's empire. The war ha
opened the eyes of Russia to its III
tsrnal weakness as a great power
and it is to the zemstva that tn
people are looking for leform.-Win
