JOHN A. JOHNSON NAMED FOR
GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA

The furry which Odell's speech had
occasioned having subided, Turnblad
and O'Connor were chosen by accla-
nation, and the love-feast continued.
Nominations for governor being de-
clared in order, roll call of counties
was ordered for the presentation of
the names of candidates. Aitkin
county, the first on the list, gave way
st. James took the platform and placed
in nomination John A. Johnson of St.
Peter, to whose sterling character, and
marked ability he paid a glowing
tribute, declaring that the state of
Minnesota would be proud to have for
its chief executive product of it's
own soil-Mr Johnson being a native
of this state, and the first native-born
Minnesotan to be nominated for chief
magistrate of the commonwealth.
The mention of Johnson's name
evoked wild applause from the dele
gates, and it was some minutes before
order could be restored. The second
ing speeches came in rapid success
sion. j. w. Brady of Minneapolis Sec
Onded the nomination on behalf of
Henncpin county, and T. j. McDermott
OF st. Paul and Martin Hughes of
Hibbing performed a like action on
behalf Of Ramsey and st. Louis coun-
ties, respectively.
Johnson was then chosen as. the
Democratic candidate for governor,
the convention rising to its feet, in
order to show it's unanimity.
w. S. Hammond, Lars Rand and T.
D. O'Brien then were appointed a COM
mittee to escort the nominee to the
platform. After a short interval the
committee returned with the candi-
date, who was received with loud ap-
plause. At the conclusion of short
but forceful address, the convention
again grew wildly enthusiastic, rising
to its feet and cheering Justify, while
hats, umbrellas and the state guidons
were waved frantically.

To complete the record of dry sta
tistics, it may be said that the first
settlement made by white men in Da-
kota occurred in 1872, when a few
Scotchmen belonging to Lord Sell
kinks Assinaboine colony settled near
or on the present site of Pembina.
These loyal subjects of the British
crown were not little annoyed when
few years later they discovered that
they had been devoting their efforts
to tilling the soil of the United States,
and moved northward with all ex-
petition. From this time forward for
a period of forty years the district,
aside from the frequent alteration of
name previously referred to, was left
largely at the mercy of the red
brother, and it was not until 1862 that,
the organization of the territory being
complete, the first assembly of the
Dakota legislature met at Yankton
Eight districts were represented and
the legislature enacted laws for the
government of 1,786 people, the total
population of district embracing
1853 900 square miles-and this was
less than fifty years ago.

THE GROWTH OF NORTH DAKOTA.

Commercial West: One of Dakota's
earliest poets wrote Dakota, the land
of work." and in that phrase fairly
epitomized the beginning of the terri
tory's history. There is very little in
the story of the settlement and growth
of North Dakota of the atmosphere of
romance which clings to the tales of
the California "forty-niner" or of the
glamour of adventure which invests
accounts of the bad mems days along
the Texas panhandle. Conditions Of
lar and although the calls which were
made upon the courage of the pioneer
settlers were many they were more
often for patient fortitude than reck-
less daring. Adventure, there I'M
doubtedly was, as thrilling incidents
of the old territorial days abundantly
testify, but such were the unusual, not
the commonplace, experience of the
Dakota settler and the plowshare
played far more conspicuous part
than the pistol in the subjugation Of
this northwestern empire. Romance
there was also, but it was romance
which in the telling runs naturally in
to figures Of wealth attained, schools
established, acres cultivated and
mines worked and not to descriptions
of the means by. which these results
were attained, for the means in the
case of North Dakota were nothing
more romantic than hard, diligent and
wonderfully remunerative toll on the
part OF the territory's Inhabitants.
The explanation Of the comparative
uneventfulness Of the early history Of
Dakota lies III the geographical loca-
ton Of the territory.
Dakota, before 1880, was well out Of
the logical path Of western immigra-
ton The farms Of Iowa. Kansas,
Nebraska and the ranges and mines
of Colorado were the Mecca OF the
eastern homeseeker and there was

opinion was) the territory was shun-
ned by all save the more adventurous
and hardy spirits until the opportuni-
ties of the more southerly states had
been pre-empted and the pressure of
their steadily growing population
forced migration anew. The result
was that in the 70's and early SOS
when the influx of immigrants into
the section reached immense proper
tons, the incoming settlers found
themselves with we'll established COM
munities to the east, to the south and
to the southwest of them with law and
order more or less firmly established
by the territorial government and with
little occasion and less opportunity
for the periods of disorder and law
lessness which sometimes follow
sudden rush of immigration into new
fields.
knowledge of the lands now COM
prised within the boundary lines of
the two Dakotas had, of course, been
general long before the beginning Of
the Dakota "boom" in the 70's. So
far as can be ascertained it was first
visited by Europeans in 1541, but it
was not until al years later that La
Sale, descending the Mississippi, took
possession in the name Of Louis the
Fourteenth, calling the territory Louis
lana. In 1852 the country was secret
1y ceded by France to Spain, the latter
country holding possession for 80
years, when France again obtained
possession by treaty. In 1903, date
which the St. Louis Exposition has
served to emphasize, President Jeffer-
son for $15,00O,00O purchased from
the French the entire district includ-
ing within its limits the present states
Of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri,
!! Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas,
Colorado, Indian Territory, Wyoming,
Montana, Dakota, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington. Shortly after this date
the Dakotas began to undergo series
of changes in name and identity, At
first a part of the Louisiana territory,
the creation Of the present state of
Louisiana in 1872 finds the district
part OF Missouri Territory. Next, in
| 1849 the establishment of the terri
torial division known as Minnesota
resulted in the division of the present
Dakotas on the line of the Missouri
| river, that portion to the east being
included in the newly created terri
tory. Two years later the Indian title

and the Red river were extinguished

SENSES OF REPTILES.
Hearing Is BIuch Poorer than Sight
If Possible,

Hearing Is Much Poorer than Sight,
If Possible.
In some aspects the reptile is su
perior to man. A Vienna naturalist
named Werner has recently reported
the results of observations that he has
been making for some time on the
senses of inferior vertebrates.
On certain points the conclusions of
M. Werner are very surprising, and in
all they are worthy of notice. Werner
has observed 1856 individuals, of which
one-third were at liberty, and he took
all possible precautions not to let the
creatures know that they were watch
ed. One general fact is very evident
reptiles and amphibians are strongly
attracted by water. They go straight
toward 1t, even when they are at dis
tances so great that they could not di-
vine its presence by any of the senses
known to us. 1t seems really that a
sense Of which we have no knowledge
informs them of the direction in which
water may be found There
seems to be a sort of chemical attrac
ton, says NJ Werner But how does
this act, and on what part of the crea-
ture? This remains a mystery.
Reptiles also seek the light, but in
dependently Of that; they are positive
ly heliotropic, and in winter they often
leave comfortable and warm retreats
to seek the sunlight Sight is generally
not good with them. 1t is probably
the finest sense they possess, but 1t
would still appear to b. very limited.
The caymans and the crocodiles cannot
distinguish man at distance of
more than six times their length, ac-
cording to Werner. In the water
fishes see only at very close range
about half their own length. This will
seem perhaps unlikely to anglers, al
though some of them can cite instances
showing that fish cannot see far
Snakes seem to have very mediocre
sense of sight. The boa, for example,
does not see at more than q quarter or
q third Of its own length; different spe-
cies are limited to one-fifth or one.
off; they see at fifteen + twenty times
their length. Frog catchers know this
from experience.
Hearing is much poorer than sight,
if possible. Most reptiles are notice
ably deaf, except caymans and croco-
diles; the boa appears to be absolutely
so.-Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Japanese Brains.

The Japanese have attracted so much
attention and admiration by their re-
markable progress in the ideas and
practice of Western civilization, as
we'll as by their native genius in art,
that the results Of an investiga ton of
the brain weight Of the japanese PEG
pie as compared with Europeans must
interest everybody. For ten years
Professor Taguchi, Of Tokyo Uniyer-
sity, he's been studying the brains of
his fellow -countrymen. He shows that
with adults the brain weight compares
favorably with that Of Europeans Of
similar stature, and may even be
slightly superior. There is one striking
difference, however. in the fact that the
japanese brain grows more slowly dur
ing infancy and early youth than is the
case with Europeans. In Japan, as
everywhere else. there is found a posi-
tive relation between brain weight and
stature-that is, the larger brains. gen
orally speaking. go with the larger
bodies.

ONCE UPON a TIME.

Heard once my old nurse telling
Stories by the fire at night,
All about big, bearded giants
Till shiyered in alright;
Then her voice came from a distance
From a drowsy, far-off cline,
Echoing the sweet old cadence,
"Once upon a Time"
Read / once a golden story
Or King Arthur's wonder court,
Lancelot and Guinevere,
All the knights of brave report.
but amidst the loving, hating,
Still | heard the insistent chime,
Like cuckoo clock repeating,
F'Once upon a Time"
VIII our lives when we have lived them
Seem like stories we have read
Stories which our nurses told US
As we lay all snug in bed?
VIII they seem as vague as dreams are,
All the days we thought sublime?
Shall we hear the faint, low whisper,
"Once upon Time"
When the earth and day and sunlight
iGrayly fade away,
When the years that we have lived here
Seem like one brief day;
Shall we hear again at twilight
Echo of our nurses rhyme.
Here you lived and loved and labored, .
rOnce upon Time"
--Leslie's Monthly.
