Improvement is the warcry of
spring. East Minneapolis is reveling in
expectancy of all the improvements
planned to still more beautify it. Per
haps one of the best Improvements TO
the downtown district of the East Side
will be Richard Chute square, after
landscape gardener and engineer have
finished with it. Just at present the
square cannot boast of beauty. There
grounds indicating where the walks are
to be.
r. After the expenditure of from $1,000
to 81 400 by the park board, the square
will be one of the finest breathing spots
in the city. Last fall the park board
expended about eight hundred dollars in
grading and fixing the grounds and pre-
pairing them for spring planting. Frank H.
Nutter, landscape architect, has drawn
the plans for Transporting a plain area
into an attractive recreation ground.
When the weather permits a force of
men will plant trees and shrubs to hedge
in part Of the square with an enclosure
Of green. Flowerbeds will be laid out,
and the elevation near the building Of
the International Stock Food company
will be thickly planted with shrubs.

following:
This Session desires to testify its sorrow
at the death of our colleague in Office. Mr..
Geo. H. Turner. which occurred at his resi-
dence in this county May IA. 1905.
Mr.. Turner was received into this church
upon examination December 8, 1854, was
ordained and installed an elder October 8,
1859, and served faithfully, wisely and eff
GENTLY till his last illness. He showed the
constituting love of Christ with an intelli-
gence and constancy worthy of imitation, in
his home and business. He understood and
loved the doctrines and government of his
church, and was remarkable for faithfu,ness
in attendance upon her ordinances. He
ruled mot as lord over Gods heritage.
but as an example to the flock" He was a
lover of all good men. Conservative in tenn
permanent, charitable in judgment, fixed in
purpose and earnest in effort, he was amost
valuable elder. He walked with God, and
was not, because God took him" We bow
to the Fathers wisdom which took him
from us, and adore the goodness that trans
lated him into rest and reward.
Resolved. That copy of this testimonial
be sent to the family of the deceased and
offered to the papers for publication.

Former Governor E. Willis Wilson
died Sunday, at Charleston, after suffer
ing for year of tuberculosis. Governor
Wilson, who was native of Harpers
Ferry in this county, was one of the
ablest chief magistrates this State ever
had, and as State Senator from this dis
trict in 1872 distinguished himself by a
courageous opposition to an attempt to
place the great Kanawha river under the
control of corporation, and finally.
when the bill came up on the last day of
the session. secured the floor and talked
until the expiration of the constitutional
period during which the legislature
could sit. thus defeating the measure and
saving the states greatest waterway to
the use of the people. The death of
Governor Wilson leaves four ex-gover-
nors of West Virginia living-Fleming

When the laboring men of the towns
and cities feel that legislative measures
injurious to them have been passed they
go to the polls and vote down the men
who passed them. Consequently they
get what they want. Why is it that the
farmer never gets what his interests re-
the time and trouble to go the polls. AS
long as he continues to do this he may
expect to pay the bulk of the taxes.
How will Dawson, Lakin & Co. ever be
convinced that the new reassessment of
real estate is condemned by.th farmers
if the farmers will not take the trouble to
go to the polls and vote against the
authors of it ?
