FUNERAL OF REV. HOBART
Remains of Pioneer Clergyman Buried
a. RedWing.
From SATURDAYS Dailv

The funeral services over the remains
of Rev. Chauncey Hobart, D. D., took
place yesterday afternoon at two o'clock
at the First Methodist Episcopal church,
Rev. M. G. Shuman officiating, assisted
by DR.. F. M. Rule of Winona. DR.. j. F.
Stout, formerly pastor of the church
here, sent his regrets, not being able to
be present on account of a previous en-
gagement which he could not change.
No funeral services were held at the
residence on account of the severe i'll
ness of Miss Bessie Hobart. The serv-
ices at the church were very impressive.
Rev. Mr.. Shuman gave resume of the
life of the deceased, and Rev. f. M.
Rule dwelt upon the influence of his
life and example. The following served
as pallbearers: Harvey Miller, Oliver
Purdy, VIM Robson and A. R. Brink.
Mr.. Hobart was one of the great pio-
neers of Methodism in the northwest.
His active service in church work cover
ed a period of forty nine years. He laid
the foundation of the church and Chris
tianity in four states, Illinois, Iowa,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. He represent
ed his conference five times in the gener-
al church conference. He also served
a term of four years on the general mis-
sionary committee. He was the author
of history of Minnesota Methodism,
and also wrote autobiography of his
life up to the year 1875. Besides he was
a frequent contributor to the church
papers and prolific writer of sermons
and pamphlets.
He preached the first Methodist SER
mon in Red Wing in 1853 and was for
three years pastor of the local church
here. He was chaplain of the Minnesota
house of representatives for two terms.
He preached his last sermon in the
First Methodist church in this city on
May 8, 1908, and at the time exhibited
much of his old time vigor and power.
He retired from active service in 1885
and had since lived quietly at his home
in Red Wing-Red Wing Republican.

LEECH LAKE CAMP.
Busy Season Confronts the Big Logging
Companies.

Walker, Mimi, Jan. S.-As a result
of the sale of the pine on the Indian res
ervation there is stir around Walker in
preparation for logging on the reservation
in this vicinity. The Weyerhaeuser syn
dicate, the Pine Tree Lumber company
and the Brainerd Lumber company are
putting in camps on Leech lake, few
miles north of this place. As Walker is
the headquarters for these logging opera
tions, business will be brisk next spring.
Next summer the steamboats, will all be
busy towing the logs. 1t is rumored that
a new steamer, costing $4,000, will be
built here for towing logs and hauling
supplies.

anu was dICeIWdTuS cdpCuTeu aIter u
chase through an alley. Mr.. Kelly had
no revolver with him on this occasion
Mr.. Kelly never faltered in his duty as
policeman. He might be given a tip
by superior officer that certain char
acters or certain rooms or houses were
to be left unmolested, but he disregarded
these and waged unceasing warfare
against immortality, caring not how high
or low the persons implicated were. He
stood for morality if he stood alone, and
more than once he is said to have made
raids on disorderly houses on his own re-
sponsibility and against the wishes of
those in authority. He would say that
they could put him off of the force if
/ they wanted to do so, but he was going
to enforce the law.
/ Mr., Kelly's integrity was never ques,
toned. His was an honest, rugged char
acter that all who came in contact with
respected. He was in every respect a
model officer, and there was never a
chief of police but who considered him
one of his most trustworthy officers.
| Mr.. Kelly was a member of st. Johns
Catholic church, and was faithful to the
teachings of his faith, as in all other
things. He never knowingly or inten
tionally wronged any man, but was hon
est and square in his dealings, and would
have died poor had it not been for the
beuuests of his brothers. A Democrat
in politics, he was broad minded and
cared more for municipal or legislative
purity than for party success.
Mr.. Kelly will be missed by all who
knew him, and by none more than by
the officers who have served on the po
lice force with him. Every one of these
present and former policemen considered
him his friend, and looks upon his death
as a personal loss.
The city will never have better po-
was also a kind husband and an indul-
gent parent, and raised an excellent
family.
Officer Mcdonald served for quarter
of century with Officer Kelly and they
never had Misunderstanding, but were
! close friends. Mr.. Mcdonald went to
visit his old companion the other day,
and Mr.. Kelly reached from his death
bed and clasped the hand of his friend
and said that they had been working
F, together for twenty-five years and he
thought that they would be together
again sometime. Mr.. Mcdonald was
touched so much by the remark that he
was unable to repress his feelings and
had to retire from the room. He misses
the dead officer perhaps more than any
man on the force.

GassaWay Talks to Farmers.


/. New York Sun.
Now we hear of Henry Gassaway
Davis addressing the rural voters of
West Virginia. The hand-paintings,
the crazy.quilts, the layer cakes and
live stock of the state are ngaged in
deadly combat for prizes at Wheeling,
and 10000 farmers turn from the
spectacle to listen to the octogenarian
candidate and cotillon leader. The
city.bred, reading his speech, will
wonder at its classic lines, and per-
haps suspect that the old man has for
gotten the mountain valley of his
youth and is talking over the heads
of his open.mouthed hearers. He
seldom calls them "farmers." "Agri-
culturists,' he says, ''have ever been
in the advance guard of civilization"
Again he speaks of them as "tillers
of soil.'' His tone is that of the
country preacher. The village parsou
in his figures never talks to his flock
of harvesting Or grading, or of reap.
ers and binders. "You go out in the
early morn,' he says, land reap and
winnow." He speaks as though farm
ing implements had not changed since
the day Ruth went into the fields.
The preacher knows his people. So
does Mr.. Davis. He harks back to
the republic of Rome. Crops on the
Campagna in the year 10 B. G. and
the agrarian laws are the subjects the
real country voters like to hear about.
| "Cato, Cicero and Cincinnatus were
farmers, cries Mr.. Davis, shaking his
finger at the rural voter.
The candidate is astute. What does
the rural voter know of Cato, of Cicero
or Cincinna atus? Everything. ASK
the rural voter and he will answer
gravely: "They was farmers-for
knowed 'em all we'll, though I was 9
bit young at the time.'

age, have died within the past two
months. The symptoms were in the
main identical. They were character
lied by the attendant physicians ir

FOR STATE AUDITOR.

+ Harry r. Cunningham, republican
candid ate for state auditor, was born
in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsyl'

at the Normal school at McAlevy' g
Fort, Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia a

1885, where he occupied the position
of chief clerk of the United States
land Office at Wakeney for three
years.

loss of at least $S00,000. For time
the flames threatened to spread to adj

splendid work of the fire brigade, a
much larger money damage would
have been incurred.
The fire started in the new Pullman
block, which was totally destroyed
The Ashdown Hardware company or
Bannatine street, one of the larges
and best of its kind in Canada, was
next attacked by the flames. Many
explosions were caused by powder anc
cartridges carried in the stock of the

President Roosevelt covers the entire

"We intend in the future to carry

that we have carried it on in the
past.'
Nothing could be more straight
forward, less evasive than this. Every
American voter knows, or should
know, how the government has been
conducted in the last seven years.
Therefore every voter knows, or
should know, how it will be conducted

FIERCE BATTLE BEGINS
Japanese Make Desperate Resistance to
the Russian Advance.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 12.-Severe
fighting north OF Yentai resulting in
temporary check of General Kuro.
patkin's advance guard is not re.
garded at the war Office as indicating
a general engagement. The latest of.
fetal dispatches indicating the dis.
position of the various corps show
that the whole army is not yet in line
of battle. The present engagement
may therefore be regarded as the re.
suit of counter attack which an en-.
terprising foe like the Japanese nigh,
be expected to make, but without any
calculation to prevent the Russian
advance.
General Kuropatkin's present su'
periority in numbers, it is held here,
is bound sooner or later to compel the
Japanese to fall back upon their
strong positions within the triangle
formed by Yentai, Lao Yang and
Skywantun. Everything points tt
that district as being the prospective
scene of the decisive struggle of this

WHO ELECT THE PRESIDENT?

There is only relative truth in the
assertion that the people elect the
president of the United States. When
the constitutional convention that laid
the foundation of this country met in
Philadelphia, in 1877, it was not the
intention of the delegates to give the
people the power of choosing the
chief executive of the nation; the
scheme of electors was adopted for
the purpose of making popular elec.
tion impossible.
In those days there was theory
tha there should be some strict limi.
tation placed about the presidency
and that the list Of eligibles should
be hedged about as much as possible.
To vote for a member of the state sem
ate required that man must have
considerable property or station, and
even to vote for member of the
lower assembly there were restrictions.
These were so great that a very large
number of able-bodied male adults
were not allowed to vote. The con-
stitutional convention in its wisdom
took the whole presidential matter out
of the hands even of such qualified
voters as existed and placed it in the
hands of "college" of men equal in
numbers to the whole of congress,
to be "appointed in such a way as
each state might choose.
For long time the legislatures
chose the great majority of these
electors. Then came the general
loosening up of voting qualifications,
an enthronement of democracy, so
that by 1910 all the states except South
Carolina voted direct for electors. In
some states there was vote by dis
tricts and in some there was a general
ticket. Since the war we believe thu
in the case of Colorado alone have
the electors been chosen by the legisla-
ture, and that was in 1876, when the
state was admitted. In Michigan the
experiment of district electors was
tried and speedily abandoned.
This is historical. The facts are
that next November there will be
chosen by the popular vote in the
various states four hundred and sew.
enty'six men who will elect presi'
dent. No NJ after who the men chosen,
no matter what their politics, it will
be in their power to elect any native
born citizen thirty-fve years of age
and fourteen years resident of the
country. AS fact, they will cleo
either Roosevelt or Parker, barring
the almost impossible event of tn
contest being thrown into the house o
representatives. These men will Ger
tainly vote according to the politica
verdict of their states, though the,
are not legally bound to do so.-Ana
