The Ghost Scare.

And there certainly has been
enough mysterious occurrences
about town recently to convince the
most sceptical. At the point near
the switch where John Holper was
killed. strange sensations have as
sailed many who have been there
late at night. Since the night of
the sixth inst, there has been three
changes in the employees who
watched the engine during the
night. The spooks do not seem to
be confined to any one locality but
have been in evidence at several
places in Denhoff. Many strang-

mystery and the excitement grows
daily.--Voice.

FROM OFFICE BOY TO
THE OFFICE OF GOVERNOR.
Chicago Paper Publishes an Interesting Feature OF
John A. Johnson the Successful Democratic
Gubinatorial Candidate in Minnesota.
Story Reads Like Fiction What Brains, Coupled
with Pluck and Hard Work Will Do for
Man with Everything Against Him.

The Chicago American publishes
an illustrated feature on John A.
johnson. the nextgovernor of Min
nesota, showing the progress he
has made up the ladder of fame.
The article is as follows
FROM BOY DRUDGE TO GOVERNOR.
How Governor-Elect John A.
johnson, of Minnesota, won sue
cess through poverty, heart aches
and adversity:
1859-Born at st. Peter, Mimi,
of poor Swedish parents.
1871-Forced to take up hard
labor or starve.
1873 Became sole support of a
large family compelled to do mans
work for a child's pay; mother took
in washing to aid in supporting her
fatherless family.
l87O-8O-Studied nights before
the Pickering fire in the little FAM
lily home.
188l-Secured a position in a
newspaper Office.
1889-Editor and publisher of a
daily newspaper at St. Peter.
l9OO-Sent to the Minnesota
state legislature by his fellow towns.
men.
l904-Democratic governor Of
Minnesota by a plurality of more
than 1900, while the state gave
Roosevelt l25, 900 plurality and de-
feated every other Democratic can
didate.
The remarkable election of Tues
day, with it's startling upsetting of
endless precedents, has contributed
to the country one of the most strik.
ing examples of success won by
individual effort, honesty, earnest
ness and sincerity.
This example has been flashed
on the screen of truly successful
men of the country in the election
of John A. johnson, Democrat, as
governor of Minnesota, while that
state gave a landslide plurality of
125, 900 to Theodore Roosevelt and
every other Republican candidate.
From a boy of poverty whose father
died in want and whose mother
was forced to take in washing to
support a large and helpless family
John A. johnson, sole support of
his family when he was but four
teen years old, has been elevated
to the highest Office in the gift of,
the people Of Minnesota, and is
projected on the screen as a posi-
He saved his money, invested his
dollars, and gradually. acquired a
small property. He became the
editor and publisher of&a daily
paper at st. Peter. His fellow
townsmen demanded tnat he rep
resent them ii the state Legislature
and there he was sent four years
ago. He was nominated for the
governorship, with the understand
ing that, SO great were the .obsta-
cles opposing his possible success,
the nomination was labeled as an
empty honor. Always vigorous
earnest, sincere, he took the nom-
ination seriously and made practi-
cally a shouse-to- -house canvas of
the state.

The Denhoff Depot Burned.

Fire destroyed the Northern Pa.
ci6c depot in Denhof last Friday
between one and two O'Clock in the
morning, and the entire structure
was destroyed. The station build
ing was a one-story structure, and
had only recently been enlarged.
This means the second fire that
Denhoff has had this year.

THE INCUBATOR AT WORK.

A North Dakota farmer has
worked out a plan for the state TO
engage in the hail insurance busl-
ness, the plan also requiring every
farmer in the state to carry such
insurance.
The plan is outlined in a pre-
pared bill, which is now in the
hands of member of the legisla-
ture, with the request that it be
introduced at the forthcoming ses-
sion of the legislature. The bill
provides that the assessors of each
township in the state shall make
report of the number of acres
cropped by each land owner. The
assessors shall report to the boards
of county commissioners in their
respective counties. and it shall be
the duties of such boards to levy
tax of five cents for each acre of
crop. The amount of tax thus lev
led is to be q lien on the land thus
described, collected in the same
manner as other taxes. At the end
of each month, the county treas
urer in each county shall make a
report to the state treasurer, show
ing the amount of money collected
under the act, and forward such
amount collected to the state treas
urer, who will set such amounts
aside as hail insurance fund, for
the purpose of paying losses on
growing crops damaged or de-
stroyed by hail.
The board of county commission
ers of each county shall act as adj
justers, receiving as compensation
for such work the sum of So per
day and ten cents per mile for each
mile necessarily travelled while &C.
tually engaged in adjusting loss.
The commissioners who make
adjustments shall report to the
clerk Of court of each county, who
shall report the same to the state
auditor, who shall issue his war
rant, payable out of the hail insur-
ance fund created by the tax of
five cents per acre on all growing
crops. In no case shall an adjust
ment exceed 81 per acre.
The gentleman, who has worked
out the plan, fearing a claim of
unconstitutionality, has suggested
that it might further be provided
that grain. growers should have the
option of taking out hail insurance
with the state, each assessor asking
each man assessed whether or not
he desired hail insurance, his reply
to become a part of his report to
the county auditor, and in turn re-
ported by him to the state auditor.
With a provision making it op-
tional with farmers in taking hail
insurance on such a plan, it is ex-
pected that the measure will be
approved by large number of the
farmers of the state.-Herald.

Instantly, the state rallied to his

CAREER READS LIKE FICTION.
Governor-elect Johnson's career
with its pathos, heartaches, strug-
giles and achievements, reads likes
a story of fiction.
From the boy drudge of IA years
he has ascended to the highest
Office state can give, against odds
and obstacles that have tried his
mettle and found it always true.
His career teaches more than that
Of any other public man of the
country today how persistence,
earnestness, honesty and sincerity
must win success in the battle of
life.
Born at st. Peter, Mimi, in 1859,
of Swedish parents, he was forced
when vet a child to take up hard
labor or starve. His father had
Fbecome addicted to drink and, after
many lapses, drifted away from
his home and family and foated in
at last as the inmate of a county
poor-house.
GOES TO WORK AT AGE OF TWELVE
In the effort to care for her large
family of little children, the mother
"took in" washing. At IL years of
age, the boy was forced to go to
work to aid in earning his bread.
! He turned his little hands to every
task offered in the little village of
St. Peter, drudging at mems labor
for child's pay. From the time he
was fourteen years old, John, with
what help his mother could give,
was practically the sole support of
the big family. He drudged early
and late, working at whatever labor
he could find for whatever pay was
offered.
His nights were spent in study
beside the Pickering f,re. Night
after night he delved at bis books,
his body weary with the work of
the day, but his brain eager for the
knowledge held within the worn
book, covers.

planted In the Daytime.
1t was long since observed that bud.
ding trees, when transplated In the
evening, and Immediately ana copi-
ously watered, were much more likely
to thrive than those that had been
moved in the day. But this knowledge
did not lead to any well-defned the.
ory OH the subject until the expert
ments Of NJ. Rene Rounault, French
expert proved beyond doubt that
distinctly beneficial results could be
gained by transplanting wholly at
night.
Being called upon to transplant a
large tract toward the end of May,
1908, NJ. ROunault determined to work
at night, and In order to be sure that
he made no mistake he transplanted
a Holland linden. which had been IN
bis own nursery for five years, Mt 10
o'clock at night. He carefully watered
the tree, and the branches which bore
buds were freely moistened. The
linden did not appear to suffer from
this transplanting, and continued to
grow normally, without showing any
signs Of weakness. Encouraged by
this success, NJ. Rounault performed
the work Of transplantation entirely in
the night time. The results were ex-
cellent, only two trees dying. though
the choice of the species was extremely
wide, containing many which do not
readily submit to the process Of trans
plantation.
With reference to the precautions
to be observed, 1t should be stated
that trees should not be transplanted
while their buds are too tender. and
