formed at that time which, although
we often clashed in politics in after
years, was never broken.
AS lawyer Mr.. Miner had few
superiors at the bar. AS pleader he
was superb, his keen logic, his clear
reasoning and his kindly humor
making him almost irresistible.
He had his faults, and who has not.
bet his failings were due to geniality
aid comradship, and not from desire
or inclination to do wrong. He loved
his God, his country and his fellow
men. He was the foe of no man ex-
cept himself, and he never knowingly
wronged or injured a fellow being.
The funeral services were held at
his residence Monday afternoon, and
were conducted by the Rev. F. M.

After brief service at his residence
the Masons took charge of the body
and he was laid away to rest with the

BAND CONCERT.

The Sank Centre band will give a
concert in the Grand opera house on
Friday evening April %. This will
be the first public appearance of the
band since its reorganization.
Mrs. Schleusener, the band soloist,
will render several selections.
There is no question but the band
as now made up is the finest Sank
Centre has ever possessed and they
have made elaborate preparations for
this concert. The only way they have
of meeting current expenses and
purchasing necessary music is by
giving occasional concerts.
Nothing contributes more to the
standing OF city than first class
band. Let everybody turn out and
give the boys benefit.

Brewer reception at the Elks' hall in
that city on Monday evening, in
recognition of the splendid services he
rendered his constituents in the last
session of the legislature.
Senator Brewer was one of the
leaders of the senate and was not only
faithful servitor of his constituents
but also rendered valuable service to
the people of the whole state. He was
right, talked right, and what was of
more importance, voted right on the
questions that were before the legisla-
ture affecting the interests of the
people, and as his position in the
senate was commanding one, his
services were of great value to the
state.

Notwithstanding his three score and
ten and two years his vigorous mind
was as keenly alert as ever.
Nelson HI. Miner was born at Shore
ham, Vermont, January 26, 1888, and
naturally came into possession of
the rugged honesty, kindly humor,
lofty patriotism and indomitable per-
severance that are characteristic of
the sons and daughters of the Green
Mountain state.
He was educated in the common
schools of his native state and at
Franklin academy, Malone, N. Y;
with characteristic Yankee pluck pay
ing his own way by teaching, working
on farm, or at any honest labor he
could find to do.
Being of judicial cast of mind
almost instinctively he turned to the
law and was admitted to the bar in
the state of New York in 1856, where
no successfully practiced until 1855,
when he moved to Wampun, Wis,
where he soon built up a large prac-
tice. In 1860 he came to Minnesota
where he formed partnership with
N. H. Hemiup under the firm name
of Miner & Hemiup.
When in 1861 Treason raised his
hideous head and Red Rebellion
lighted the torch of Civil war and the
republic called for men to save the
nation, he abandoned his splendid
practice, turned his back on the al
Turing prospects opening up before
his view and answered his country's
call by enlisting in the old LIST Mimi,
three months organization. When
the regiment disbanded and was re-
organized under three years. term,
to his very great disappointment he
was confined to his bed with serious
illness and was unable to rejoin his
old comrades. At the outbreak of
the Sioux war in 1862, he again re-
enlisted, and in 1864 he entered Co.
E. Hatch's Battalion Volunteers and
served until the close of the war.
In 1886 he came to Sank Centre
where he again resumed the practice
of law, associating himself with A.
Barto, who was afterwards chosen
Lieutenant Governor of the state.
This firm soon became known as the
leading law firm of northern Mime
sofa, and few cases were tried in this
part of the state that their names did
not appear as attorneys on one side
of the case.
This partnership continued for ten
years. 1t was again resumed in 1894,
when L. R. Barto, son of his former
partner, became his associate in prac-
tice.
In January 1857, he was married to
Miss Julia Martin, who died in April
1872. Three daughters, Gertrude,
Helen and Jessie, were the fruit of
this union.
In 1874 he was married the second
time to Miss Kate Martin, sister of his
former wife.
Mr.. Miner was life long and con-
sistent democrat; but never an active
politician. He served on the Board
Of Education and was mayor of this
city for two terms.
To US his death seems almost
bereavement for he was a
friend. He was one of the
first men we got acquainted with
when we came to Sank Centre, mere
boy, in 1867. We love to think of
him as he was at that time in the full
aush of his mental and physical

ideal lawyer, the gentle gentleman.

KAISER FORESTALLS SNUB.
Will Celebrate His Marriage Anniver-
sary in Private.

BERLIN, Dec. SIT has just been
officially minated to the foreign gov
ernments that the emperor and the en-
press of Germany have decided to Gel
citrate the twentyfi fifth anniversary OF
their wedding on Jan. 81 in a private
manner so that no invitations will be
extended for that day to any repre-
sentatives of the foreign governments
or even to members of reigning fam
lilies
This decision is taken here as pre-
cautionary measure to forestall the
bad moral effect that would have been
caused by the absence from the fes-
tivities of the members of the royal
family of England, which, it is semi
officially intimated, had decided not to
attend the celebration.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. S.-The

Simmons of North Carolina, Repre-
sentative John Sharp Williams, OF
Mississippi and Samuel GOmpers. All
effort will be made, not only to inter-
est those states in the movement, where
no laws for the protection of children
have been passed, but to enlist the
support of President Roosevelt and OF
congress in favor of plan for regu'
lating child labor by national legisla-

: DOWIE TOTTERS.
The "Prophet" breaches While Sitting
Down.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. S.-Sitting in his
chair and speaking in tones inaudible
to persons sitting in the center of Shi-
lob tabernacle, at Zion City, John
Alexander Dowie yesterday presented
anything but the same personality that
has made him famous in the past few
years. Weak in body and apparently
discouraged in mind, the First Apostle
for the first time delivered his address
while sitting, admitting that he would
not be there even in that position if
he mad not promised his people that he
would take charge of the service.
Dowie, on beginning his sermon,
stood in the center of the platform. He
had spoken but a few words when he
apparently became weak, tottered a
trife and walked backwards to his
chair, his voice also growing weaker
and more inaTdible. His action some
what alarmed the audience, as they
feared their leader was to encounter
another paralytic stroke. However,
Dowie kept on talking all the time in
an effort to reassure them and he then
pulled his chair near the front of the
platform where he continued MS ad-
dress in low tone of voice.

TAMMANY LIKELY TO LOSE THE
MAYORALTY CONTEST AND
CONTROL OF MILLIONS.
Present Contest Is the Most Important
Since the TiIden Hayes Affair
in Year 1876.

With the exception of the Tilden-
Hayes affair in 1876, the Hearst Nc
Clellan election contest is the most i'm
portant in the history of the United
States. 1t is possible but, not prob
able, that the case will be decided
within a few weeks. If Tammany
takes advantage of every opportunity
to embarrass the contestant and pre-
vent or delay a recount of the votes
a decision by the courts cannot be
looked for much earlier than the middle
Of January. 1t is possible that the
city will start in the new year with
two mayors-one defacto and one de-
jure-and that Hearst as mayor de
jure will institute proceedings to GUST
Mcclellan as mayor de facto.
The board of elections and the board
of aldermen will play only perfume
tory part in the contest. The actua
fight must be in the supreme court.
Time Contest Takes.
When Cromwell, now president of
the borough of Richmond, contested
the election of Feeny in 1897, it took
nine months to decide the case. Tam
many, backing up Feeny, invoked the
aid of the court of appeals to pre-
vent a recount, and it was not until
the July following the election that
Cromwell was seated. Even at that
he had to mandamus the Tammany
board of aldermen to certify to his
election. But there is not likely to be
such delay in the present instance,
even if all the 1000 ballots cast on
election day are recounted.
If Mr.. Hearst's lawyers are not very
much mistaken, the recount of the bal
lots will not nave proceeded far be-
fore every person will know that
George B. Mcclellan was not elected
and that no election held in the Unit
ed States was more corrupt than that
held Nov. T.
The law provides that ballot OBJ
jected to by any watcher shall be
counted for the candidate, but put in
separate bundle, so that the court
can review these separate ballots.
This law was obeyed where Hearst had
competent watchers.
Tammany never was more desper
amount of money at stake was stag
gering to contemplate. The board OF
estimates and apportionment within
the next four years will grant fran
chises valued at $S00,OO0,000. This
equals nearly one third of all the act
ual money in the United States. In ad-
dition to this, the budget for the next
four years will appropriate $125,O00,-
900 a year. or $5OO,00O, 900 for the may
or's term.
For Tammany to lose this election
meant not alone the control of 10000
offices and the handling of $500,OOO,ooC
of the city's money, but the graft that
comes from those $SO0,OO0,000 of
franchises.
Every corporation in New York was
interested, and the ones that deal par
ticularly with public utilities were
more vitality concerned. This may ex-
plain why Tammany had a campaign
fund larger than ever before in it's his
tory.

ATTORNEYS OF SEATTLE CLAIM
THEY HAVE FOUND FATAL
ERROR IN STATUTE.
If Contention is Held Valid by Supreme
Court It Will Settle Many
Pending Cases.

James B. Howe and Charles Mum
day, two prominent Seattle attorneys,
are confident that they have dis
covered a flaw in the inheritance tax
law passed during the 1901 session of
the state legislature, so far as estates
conveyed by will, deed or grant, are
concerned, the law is absolutely in
valid.
Mr.. Munday, who represents several
rich estates, has filed a protest with the
state treasurer and declares no tax on
the estates he represents shall be
paid until the supreme court has de-
cided the point raised by himself and
Attorney Howe.
If the contention raised by Howe
and Munday holds good, and many
then several knotty inheritance cases
now pending will be settled, and thou
sands of dallars will be saved by those
who have been the recipients of prop
erty left by relatives or friends.
The point raised may be explained
briefly as follows:
Upon the death of a person, his
property may pass to another in three
well-recognized ways, namely: by will.
by inheritance and by deed, grant, sale
Or gift made on or intended to take eff
feet in possession or in enjoyment af-
ter the death of the grantor or donor.
Provisions of Law.
The so-called Inheritance tax law of
this state, passed in 1901, takes into
consideration and recognizes these
three separate and distinct ways in
which property may pass. Section 1
of said act provides that "All property
within the jurisdiction of the state =
* which shall pass by will, Or by
the statutes Of inheritance in this or
any other state, or by deed, grant, sale
or gift made or intended to take effect
& after death of the grantor or
donor shall be subject to a
tax" ~
The title of the act is IAN act relat-
ing to the taxation of inheritance AMI
providing for disposition of same.''
A bare reading of the title shows that
it covers only one of the three ways in
which property may pass, While the
body of the act provides for a tax on
property passing in any Of three ways.
The subject matter of the act is not
expressed in the title in so far as it
relates to property passing by will.
or by deed, grant, sale or gift, and it
is claimed that the act is valid only
in so far as it provides for a tax upon
property OF one who dies intestate, in
which case the property passes by in
neritance and that property which
passes by will or deed is not subject
to any tax, according to the very title
of the act in question.
Hence any man who did not desire
his heirs to pay the state an inherit
ance tax could either give them mis-
property outright or will it to them In
the usual way. In either case, it is
contended under the very inheritance
tax law they could escape payment of
any inheritance tax whatsoever to the
state.
AS stated before, Attorney Munday
represents several estates, and he mas
protested against the payment of the
inheritance tax upon the grounds quot
