FORTUNE SMILES ON PETERSEN
Imperial Danish Consul Designates a
kenosha Man as One Long Wanted.


A letter received in this city this
morning from Imperial Consul Villas
4. Assens, who represents the king
dom Of Denmark in Chicago, states
that the consul has received satisfac-
tory proofs that Martin J. G.. Petersen
OF this city, is the man for whom the
Danish government has been looking
Tor the past two years. Petersen, who
resides at 700 Crate street and who is
employed at the Chicago-Kenosha
Hosiery Works, is the heir to for
tune which it is said will make him
independent. For the past two years
the Danish government has been adj
vertising in various papers about this
country to discover the missing man,
and i was largely through the efforts
OF Thomas Hansen that the identified
ton was completed. Some time ago
Mr.. Hansen noticed the advertise
ment IN the paper and he became con-
WINGED that the Kenosha man was the
man wanted, and after many hard
trials he managed to establish the
identity of Petersen to the satisfac-
ton OF the Imperial Consulate in
Chicago.
NO one knows the extent of the in
heritance which is held for Petersen
by the European government, but the
efforts made to discover the man
would indicate that it is considerable.
The fortunate man is son of the
late George P. G. Petersen, former
Kenosha musician who died in this
city on an. 10, 1880. It is said that
the money comes from the estate of
the father of the elder Petersen.

Ears for shins.

Ships will soon have ears-ears that
will hear the approach of a torpedo
boat that the captain can not see, or
that will hear the sound of the fog
bell or the waves beating against a
dangerous rock on a stormy night.
These electrical ears are more sengi-
tive than human ears, because the
sounds which they will hear are
sounds which travel under water, a
medium which transmits sound better
than air. It is this superiority Of
the water as a sound transmitter that
has brought about the new invention.

MRS. w. v. GULL DEAD.
Pioneer Woman of the Town of Brigh-
ton Expires at Her Home.

Mrs. Harriet Gull, wife of W. v.
Gull and one of the best known of the
pioneer residents of the town of
Brighton, died at the family residence
in the town of Brighton this morning.
Mrs. Gull had been i'll for many weeks
and her death was not unexpected by
her relatives, but it will come as a sad
shock to many of her friends in all
parts of the county.
Mrs. Gull was one Of the best known
women in the western part of Kenosha
county. She was in her 93rd year at
the time of her death and had s1ived a
large proportion of her life in the
the town of Brighton. The deceased
was native of England but had
come to the town of Brighton in the
pioneer days and had shared with her
husband the rigors of the life of the
early settler. She was a woman Of
many noble attributes and was greatly
beloved by her friends and neighbors.
Her death will be left among ali
classes of people in tn leighborhood
of her home.
She is survived by th-ee sons and
two daughters, as follows: w. v.
Gull, of Brighton; Spencer Gull, of
Salem; Lincoln Gull, who resides in
Nebraska; Mary Gull Harding, of
Washington, D. c., and Mrs. Ira
Brown, of the town of Salem.
The announcements for the funeral

Official Board for County Meets
and Canvasses the Vote Of
the Judicial Election.
LITTLEC HAN CEIN P [ URALITIES
Official Vote Shows That Only Small
Portion of the Voters Voted for
the Judges and the State
Superintendent.

The county board of canvassers
composed of County Clerk Crosby,
Judge R. H. Slosson County Supervi-
sor George Kreuscher of the town Of
Paris, met at the office of the county
clerk this morning and canvassed the
vote Of the county on the Offices of
justice OF the supreme court, county
judge, state superintendent and coun-
ty superintendent.
The official vote as announced by
the board makes only slight changes
in plura1ities, and the effect of the
election is in no way affected. It
shows, however, that in most of the
wards and towns little attention was
paid to the ballots for the election Of
the supreme court, and the vote for
Judge Wins1ow was less than one
half of the total vote in the county.
Out in the rural districts the largest
vote was on the election of county
superintendent, but the interest in
election of the county judge was al
most as great, and the vote for the
two candidates for county judge was
within few votes of that of the vote
for county superintendent.
The voters of both the city and
county did not seem to care great
deal for the contest between Sails
bury and Cary and less than one-ha1f
of them voted this ticket. In the city
the neglect of the judicial and state
superintendent tickets, was clearly
apparent, and in some of the wards
the vote was less than one-ffth of the
vote for alderman and other ward
officers.
The county judicial ticketswas also
sighted in the wards of the city, but
it received a larger proportion than
the state uperintendent's ticket.
The official vote has made quite a
little addition to the plurality of Al
bert Salisbury in the county and Ker-
win gains three votes by this canvass.
However, Judge S1osson's plurality
IN the county is reduced, as it is
shown that errors were made in the
town of Somers and in Salem.
The official count OIL the different
officers is as follows:

snubbing a Grand DUKE.

When the Russian Grand Duke Ser
gius, who was blown to pieces with a
dynamite bomb, was governor of War
saw he thought it would be good idea
if the people of that city would con-
tribute to a fund with which to buy
sunfower seeds to be given to the Rus
sian soldiers, who are very fond Of
chewing them. Sergius announced
that every one sending money would
be given a receipt, but those sending
1000 rubles ($51O or more would be
thanked personally by himself. 1t is
said that the response was excellent.
But, though no one sent in 1000 rubles
and asked to be thanked personally by
the grand duke, many sent in 800 ru.
bIes and asked for the receipt.

LEGISLATIVE PLEASANTRIES

Among the aggregation representing Hen
nepin county i'll the House is John G. Lennon
who comes from of the distinctly 1aboring
mems wards Of the city, Mr.. Lennon has only
recently discovered his oratorical abilities, and
the result is that his voice is always heard on
any bill that can by any possibility affect the
working man. His flow of language is some
what confused except when talking about the
working man and his rights, and the result is
that Lennon goes on the principle of the back
woods doctor who in order to affect cure in
patient always labored first to throw him into
fits, because he said he was oh on fits, "
On this rule Lennon has delivered magnificent
efforts everything from the prison labor bill
to the Ware two and half cent fare bill.

One of the most amusing things this ses-
sion, and which would certainly afforded
the wives Of the members a great deal of
amusement the spectacle the tax commit
tee presented at noon meeting the other day.
Most noon committee meetings very poorly
attended are very brief, but this particular
day, the bill providing for the taxation of mort
cages, and the exemption of that equity in real
estate covered by mortgage up for con
lsideraton Fourteen out of the seventeen
members of the committee attended the meet
ing and stayed there till after two o'clock with
out dinner Nothing but a tax question could
have held the members that way, and hereafter
we will no longer feel guilty when stop on
the way to dinner to discuss the tariff.

who love to hear themselves talk. But they
were not orators, and they have suffered accord
ingly. The good legislator should be either a
who is not an orator and knows it, or a
who is an orator and knows enough to
keep still nine tenths of the time. The fifty
seventh district therefore, has been particular
ly fortunate in having good representatives who
have faithfully represented their constituency
by their votes, and on localMmatters We're able
to get what they wanted because they con-
tented themselves with voting rather than with
speech-making.
Morris tribune., 1905-04-22

Much of what has been said applies equally
to Senator Schain, except that Mr.. Schain did
not represent the wishes of his constituents
when he voted against the Peterson anti-pass
bill. Mr.. Schain has always been member of
the Combine" and so voted not to allow the
Peterson bill to get toYthe floor of the Senate
The writer does not believe that the Peterson
bill was constitutional as it concerned more
than one subject namely, anti-pass feature,
and 212 cent fare feature, but if SenatorI Schan
had wished to carefully represent his sconstitu-
ents, it seems to the writer that it would have
been better had he voted to bring the bill to the
floor of the Senate where it could have been
properly amended.
The people of this legislative district have
some very clear-cut ideas of Legislative passes.
Not only is it disgrace to the great state of
Minnesota that the railroads should pay the
fares of the members, and in that way contri-
butte one-half the emoluments which a 1egisla-
tor receives, but it is also fact that the people
are deceiving themselves i'll thinking that the
character of the Legislature is not influenced
thereby Both the House and the SenateI will
obedently do the will of the railroads in the
vote one way in committee and another way on
roll call, what clearer proof could be needed
that passes do influence legislation. Besides
this influence on the otherwise good legislator
it is also fact that the passes themselves at
tract grafters to the legislature, as molasses
barrel draws flies Cut out the passes and
many men would no longer want to go to the
Legislature.
All of this does not apply to Senator Schain,
but since spending the past three months in
St. Paul, the editor of this paper has acquired
some emphatic ideas on the subject which de-
mand expression.

The regular formula for tue beginning of
the discussion of bill before the committee,

THE MEMBERS OF THE FlFTY-SEVENTH.

The fifty-seventh district has been especial
1y we'll represented in the House, and the peo-
pie of the district have to feel proud of
the record their Legislators have made Repre-
sentatives Stone and Larson have voted right
every proposition and have worked for and
aided many laudable matters. Mr.. Stone did
especially good work in connection with the
Ware anti pass bill. Neither Mr. Stone nor Mr..
Larson have often had anything to say the
floor of the House, but on the whole | regard
this advantage rather than fault. Many
good men destroy their usefulness by talking
too much, The average speech does not change
a vote, does take up time and leaves the mem
bers in bad humor towards the one making the
speech. The present legislature has been
cursed with number of otherwise good men

Other important bills passed are the Stone
inheritance tax bill and the Perley bill divest-
ing the Board of Control of the management Of
the university and normal, schools. The Stone
bill was amended in the Senate and changed so
that the tax is graduated according to the
amount of the inheritance, and while it's pro-
visions are not all that might be desired, yet it
is the first effective inheritance tax law that
Minnesota has had for years.

THE WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE OF 1905

THE WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE OF 1905
AS one views the mass of proposed leg1sla
ton that fails on the closing days of a session
for want of proper time to consider 1T, one IS apt
to think that the legislative session has come
to naught, but when view the work OF the
present legislature with that of previous SEES
sions we are forced to admit that the Legisla
ture Of 1905 has made excellent record
The Legislature performed truly momu-
mental task in passing the Revised Code. This
is a task that no Legislature has attempted for
over a quarter of a century. The Code Com
mission certainly performed a great work, but
when we consider that that the Legislative COM
rnittees have been over every portion OF the
Code time and again, that all the old law has
been carefully gone over and harmonized that
'woodchucks' have been kept out and that
the attempts to the Code as convenient
means of getting thru doubtful Legislation has
been headed off, the reader will get some con-
ception of the great task that performed
by the Legislature.
Another very important piece of legislation
is the Roberts wide open" tax amendment.
In considering methods of taxation in accor-
dance With present conditions, the Legislature
has constantly been running up against the
Constitution, and the proposition is to amend
the Constitution in such way to give the
Legislature full authority to pass laws within
certain very wide bounds The only limitations
of future Legislatures are that taxes shall be
uniform on the same class of property
and that taxes shall be collected
under general laws. The amendment
has failed of passage before, but under the
present system of submitting amendments
separate ballot, it will probably be adopted by
the people at the next election.
The Tanning bill taxing sleeping car COM
panies the Johnson bill taxing express COM
panies and the Racine bill taxing private
companies all passed by the House, but
failed in the Senate. There nothing radi-
cal in these bills but they simply provided
equitable method of taxing these companies,
who heretofore have been able to make pretty
good getaway" so far as paying taxes was
concerned.
The Nolan reciprocal demurrage bill was
also killed in the Senate as we'll the Ware
30 cent fare bill, and the Peterson anti-pass
bill The Senate did not make good record
railroad bills and it stands the people in
hand to look we'll to the record and the platform
of the men they elect to the Senate. There are
more fool bills introduced the subject Of
railroads than any other branch of legislation
with the possible exception of taxes, but the
policy of the Senate seems to be to take no
chances, but kill all railroad bills The only
railroad bill the Senate has passed for two
terms fanny Importance is the rate committee
bill which mentioned last week. [ still
wondering how it happened

Other important bills passed are the Stone
inheritance tax bill and the Perley bill divest-
ing the Board of Control of the management of
