SAD CASE OF YOUNG DAVIS.
Boy Who Was Blinded Recently at
lie Sueur Center.
From SATURDAYS Daily

1t will be remembered that young
Davis was taken to hospital in Man
kato some weeks ago, and placed under
the care of DR.. James, the eye specialist
of that city. 1t seems that at the time
of his being taken to the hospital, one
weeks board was paid in advance, but
no provision made for any future pay
ments. The hospital authorities suppos-
ed that the party leaving him
would be responsible for his board and
care. DIR. James was of the same opinion
relative. to his pay, but from letter
received ON Tuesday by professional
man of this village, the relatives of the
unfortunate young man, have stated
that they can do no more for him, and
he is left to the mercy of strangers. The
hospital authorities ask in the letter re-
'ceived here, if the board of commission
ers of this county, will not stand good
for the bills incurred, but as the boy is
not a resident of the county, they are
not responsible and will in all probabili-
ty advise the authorities at Mankato
to consult the board of Pine county of
which the boy actually is resident.
The poor boy is totally blind and his
case is indeed a sad one, and even more
so, as. he has no relatives who seem in
clined to care for him.-Le Sueur Cen
ter Leader.

WILL PAY UP THE BONDS.
MapIeton Town Proposes to RidIHer-
self Of Heavy Obligations.
From SATURDAYS Daily.

On Saturday last, the board of super
visors of the town of Mapleton, met to
take steps relative to the payment of
the railway bonds, which come due jan
uary lst next. The bonds, $4,000, were
originally issued in 1874 to and in the
building of the Southern Minnesota rail-,
way. The bonds were re-issued in 1895.
The village and township having been
divided for all purposes the bonded in
debtedness was divided upon yalua
ton basis, thus the township assumed
$7,075 and the village S., 425 of the debt
A large amount of interest has been paid
on the bonds and firing of this the VIII
lage made arrangements for paying its
share of the debt and now the town has
taken active steps in the same direction.
The township at the annual meeting
last spring voted to pay the bonds at the
rate of $1,000 per year and the town
board now offers the bonds for sale
The bonds will bear interest at the
rate of six per cent, payable semi-an-
nually, the first $1,000 coming due Jan
uary lst, 1907, and $4,000 each year
thereafter until the full amount is paid.
The bonds will be sold at ten o'clock
a. M, on Tuesday, Dec Goth.

MRS. JOHN A. JOHNSON
wife of the Governor-Elect of Minnesota.

her home, her manner, even her hus-
bands manner, kind and unaffected as it
is, signify as much. She has not wholly
ignored club work-one could not very
well in st. Peter---and the Wonhan's Lit
erarYs club counts her one of its most
valuable members. She formerly served
the club as vice president.
Mrs. johnson is deeply interested in
her clubs program for the current year,
for it is devoted to art, and Mrs. John
son is an artist, using oils and water
colors with much more than amateur
ability.
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson have made no
definite plans about their future resi-
dence beyond deciding to come to st.
Paul in January to remain during the
gubernatorial term They may live at
the Aberdeen, they may keep house;
that has yet to be decided.
That Mrs. johnson will do much in
social way is to be expected. Her win
ter's residence in the capital city when
Mr.. johnson was in the senate four
years ago has given her considerable
acquaintance in st. Paul. She is young,
she has a charming personality, her hus-
bands wealth is considerable, so that
the executives wife will be favorite
in social and political sircles seems a
foregone conclusion.

GILLESPIE'S STUNT.
Working the People of North Dakota
With Accident Insurance.

Chief Donahue has received letter
from Lukas Dachs of Gladstone, n. D.,
making. inquiries concerning one 81.
NJ Glispie," who he says is there claim
ing to represent the National Accident
Society of New York, and who, he
says, is getting money under false pre-
lenses.
The police records show that man
giving the names of Gillespie, but who
said that his right name was Fitzgib-
bons, was arrested Aug. End on the
charge of drunkenness and served thirty
days. He answers the description given
by Dachs. He claimed to have been
held up on the street and robbed of his
watch, and the robber was also arrested
at the time and punished. Gillespie said
that he was representing the Singer
Sewing Machine company.

FARMERS RAILWAY.
Elmer Whitcomb Tells Of One Oper
ated in North Dakota.
From Saturdays Daily.

Elmer A. Whitcomb recently return
ed from the region of Devils Lake, N.
D., where he has been doing harvest
work for about two months in the en-
ploy of George, William and Albert
Wright, all well-known in Mankato and
vicinity. Mr.. Whitcomb talks interest
ingly of the twenty-five miles of rail
road, built northward from Devils Lake
city, and owned and operated by the
Farmers Grain and Shipping company.
1t is cooperative enterprise of the
wealthy farmers of this neighborhood
and appears to be a thriving business.
The road, which was established about
three years ago, runs from Devils Lake
northward through Sweetwater, Web
ster and Gaske, and to Starkwater.
Farmers around that part of the state
used to have terrible haul to get their
grain marketed at Devils Lake. Many
would be obliged to get up at two or
three o'clock in the morning in order to
get there in due time. Now it is Very
easy to haul to the stations along the
cooperative railway line.
Only one locomotive runs back and
forth on this line. The train, made
up of as many freight cars as are need
ed, all borrowed from the Great
Northern, and one old passenger coach,
starts from Devils Lake at $3.50 o'clock
every morning, makes the entire run
and gets back to the same place at about
four o'clock in the afternoon. Rates
on both passenger and freight traffic
are the same on this line as James j..
Hill charges. 1t costs four cents per
mile, as a rule, to travel in North Da-
kota. 1t costs dollar for ticket from
DEVILS Lake to Starkweather.
Mr.. Hill has never been disposed to
discourage the little railroad. On the
contrary, the Great Northern sold to the
farmers the engine by which the train
is run on these twenty-five miles, and
also the single passenger coach. The new
road acts as spur or branch to the
Great Northern, bringing in traffic and
developing up the country.
Webster, three year old town, is be-
ing built up by the new railway at a
great rate. 1t has already two general
stores, one hardware store, drug store,
a lumberyard, meat market, hotel
and two big elevators. Starkweather,
at the end of the line, is also town
with future before it. 1t has a gen.
eral store, blacksmith shop and two
elevators.
1t is only a question of time when the
farmers will extend their railroad line
farther north, and reach into and exploit
a larger and larger agricultural area.

Tall and slender, brown-h haired, blue
eyed and ruddy-cheeked- mere girl in
appearance-so Mrs. John A.. johnson
seemed today to a caller at the home of
Minnesota's .governor-elect in st. Peter.
1t was when Mrs. johnson learned
that is was not the governor project at all
whom this particularly caller wished to
see, but rather the woman who is to
share his official honors, that the fore
going inventory was revised to include
this item-'a manner that is winsome
and unaffectedly shy
Mrs. johnson was sure that there was
nothing, for her to say; she knew moth
ng of politics as yet, at least As for
herself, personally, why wouldn't it be
enough for the papers to talk about Mr..
johnson?
1t seemed for a moment as if Mrs.
Johnson was to successfully evade her
first newspaper interview. A gentle wo-
man, with soft, musical voice and shy
eyes is surely enough to disarm the most
persistent interrogation and the inter
viewer does not like to think what the
result might have been if Mr.. Johnson
himself had not happened into the room
just then.
Mr.. johnson had been called upon in
grave crisis in the past, in the very re-
cent past, and he had responded nobly-
Nov. s, for instance. Again he was APP

pealed to to become mediator. 1t was
he who assured his wife-with
humble apologies to both of them for
this Laura Jean Libbyesque expression,
but it exactly fits-that politics means
publicity, and that interviewers simply
stand for kindly public interest.
And it is to the governor elect that we
are indebted for the interesting informa-
ton that Mrs. johnson is of Wisconsin
birth; that she came to Minnesota
Rochester, to be exact-when a child;
that her girlhood was spent in the con-
vent there-the Lady of Lourdes it is
and that later she went to St. Peter to
continue her studies in convent of the
same order.
It was in st. Peter that Miss Preston
that was Mrs. Johnson's maiden name
met John A. johnson. 1t was love
at first sight, so everybody says, and as
soon as the good sisters had finished
their charges education her marriage to
the young editor took place. That was
ten years ago last June, and they have
| lived in st. Peter ever since.
1t was no difficult matter to ask so
youthful a. matron about her age, and
! though. her slender figure and her round
cheeks fatty contradict her, Mrs. John
son expects us to believe that she is %
years old. She will be the youngest
woman that has yet presided at Mime
sota's capitol, even as her husband is to
be Minnesota's youngest governor.
Mrs. johnson is truly home woman

though it is, of the wife of Minnesota's
next governor. Why not give the pic
ture a frame? Why not tell of Mrs.
Johnsons home in st. Peter, the home
she designed herself about a. year ago?
The taste of an artist is easily recog-
nized in the pretty colonial cottage. 1t
is proclaimed in the architectural de-
sign as well as in the furnishings, in the
green walls-a pretty wood tint they
are-in the fewness. of the pictures,
which are invariably of classic sub
jects, and more than all, perhaps, in the
refreshing absence of meaningless brio
a-brac. The inartistic has no place in
Mrs. Johnson's home surroundings.
And her gown?
There, too, the artist was evident
Mrs. Johnson's gown was a simple shirt
waist suit of light -coIored blue madras,
with just suggestion of red used as
trimming. The straight lines of the
bodice gave Gibson-girl effect to the
slender figure and was very becoming.
Flounces of cream lace emphasized the
smallness of her hands, soft ribbon
stock made more noticeable the girlish
roundness of her cheeks, her-but, dear
me, what was that promise Mrs. John
Isr..s e.
son solemnly exatcted, to say just as
little about her as possible! Now a
promise is promise, and it wouldn't be
kind, and it wouldn't be polite to break
ones word to the first woman in Mime
sota.-St. Paul Daily News.

Another Chance.

Peter Helm, the former Mankato pi-

South Dakota, on a charge of seduc-
tion has been followed with much in
terest here, has been granted new
trial. The Madison Daily Sentinel
says: States Attorney Holdridge has
received notice from Judge Jones that
he feels constrained to grant new
trial in the case of the State VS.. Peter
Helm, and the same has been ordered and
will come up for hearing at the next
March term of court here. Out of the
twenty odd points raised in the motion
for new trial the court held with the
prosecuting attorney in all but one, the
character of the testimony, something
for which the states attorney is not re-
sponsible."
