NO TITLE CLOUD
FROM LOST PAGES
REGISTER OF DEEDS SAYS THERE
is NO MENACE. s#
George O. Merrill Explains that Miss
ing Sheets Make No Difference with
Property Records and Shows Law Of
1905 which Remedies the Matter to
Cover the Loss.

George G: Merrill, register Of deeds
for Hennepin county, declares someone
has been trying to make mountain
out Of molehill in his ofice-and a
molehill which he says has been lev
eeled, at that. This being the case, he
ls anxious to reassuEe property owners
and investors that there is no menace
to their titles in the loss Of certain
pages from an old volume of mort
gage records in the registers office.
Thru the energy and intelligence Of the
register, Inconvenience and injury were
averted:. Mr.. Merrill explains that no
legal advantage can be taken Of the
fact that the pages have been lost. He
says:
:Some three years ago, when book
1877, with over twenty others, was in
the hands Of the binder, thirty-six
pages of mortgage records were acct
dentally lost. All but five or six of
these had been satisfied many years
ago. When the accident was discovered,
strenuous efforts, including the sorting
of scores of bales of waste paper at
the Junk sheds here and at paper
mill in Wisconsin to recover the lost
records, was made without result. At
tempts to secure the original mort
cages for re-record were equally futile
Then the only recourse was the
legislature; At my request, the county
duced in the senate by General George
P. Wilson, and in the house by Manley
1. Fosseen. and became law on April
49, 1905. That act is now chapter 1913
Of the General Laws of 1905, entitled
An act to authorize the reception as
evidence, in actions where the title of
land is in controversy, Of abstracts Of
title and abstractor g data and min
utes, or sworn copies thereof, when
the public records have been lost or
destroyed and the original instruments
cannot be produced ..
Gas two of the city abstract offices
have full minutes of the lost records,
and as such minutes are as good evil
dence as the record, no titles are
clouded, and it is not true that sirre::
parable injury and loss may accrue and
endless trouble and litigation may be
entailed.' -

Excellent Growth.

have been making excellent growth.
Much Of the rye is already harvested
and work will begin. in the barley
fields by the end of this week. Wheat,

splendidly. There has been some dam

very heavy and hard rains or heavy

BLACK RUST, But

FIRST DEFINITE REPORT OF AP-

Grain Men, Instead Of Taking Alarm,

II weather Is Right for Combating the
Pest.

BLACK rust. the farmers enemy, has
anneared in the wheat fields near Mil
Ter, S. D.. A number Of false alarms
and scares have been on slncesJuly T.
Today brought the first report that
without reservation could be pronounced
r1ngton offices at the Chamber OF Com.
merce samples were seen that showed
black rust in an advanced stage.
So far from, taking alarm at this, the
more conservative grain houses felt
THAT load of uncertainty has been
lifted, the worst now being out. For
a week or more news has been. coming
in of a nature to cause uneasiness as
to the probable appearance of the in
will be carefully watched.
It is largely question of the weather
from now on. The wheat is pulling
along towards maturity in good shape.
Good weather will insure the safety Of
the crop if it holds. Hot and muggy
weather would spread the rust, but
every succeeding day is bringing the
when the rust could no longer injure it.
| Rust Didn't Spread.
Last year, about this time, rust was
found in several places, but owing to
favorable weather conditions it did not
spread and the crop on the whole suf-
fered no damage Of consequence from
it. This year the straw is strong and
in condition to resist it. -a@
With reference to the general situa-
tion. the Van Dusen-H arlington com
panly says: Among the many reports
which we receive each day have been a
few claiming the presence of black rust
in the wheat. We have had careful
investigation made Of every report and
no trace Of black rust was found until
Monday, the 10th, when J. B. Kirk
brought us number Of samples from
the vicinity Of Watertown, s. d. Among
these Professor G. P. Bull, agriculturist
at the state experimental station, dis:
covered one showing the presence of
black rust in it's early stage. Professor
Bull tells us that dry, warm weather
would check the growth and spread of
the disease, but, on the other hand, var
liable weather-hot or cold with much
moisture--would lead to it's termination

Egg Harbor City. N. J., May 13-Kate Walters
and Rose Davis, seventeen years old. were
drowned in Log Bay, near Chestnut Neck this
morning They were members Of picnic party
which drove to Clarks Landing early this morn
ing and from there proceeded by boat to the
pleasure grounds. As the launch was not large
enough to take the entire party, two young men,
Frank Sharp and Henry Griess. with the two
girls, entered a small sailboat. The launch had
left the party some half mile behind, when the
young men, desirous Of Overtaking the larger
boat put up more SAIL with the wind blowing a
stiff breeze.
AS the party reached the bay squan struck
tho boat, capsizing it and throwing the Occu-
pants into the water The young men tried to
save their companions and nearly lost their own
lives in the effort The girls sank. but the men
clung to the overturned boat until rescued by a
passing fishing party.
The other members OF the party, unaware OF
the tragedy reached their picnic grounds and
disembarked. Alarmed at the continued absence
of their comrades however. some Of them put

BODY OF GAPON FOUND.
MURDERED IN FINLAND.
Former Priest Left Hanging in
Lonely V6Ua.

ST. Petersburg May 13.-The mystery Of the
fate OF Father Gapon apparently was cleared UP
to-day by the discovery OF a body which has
almost positively been identified as that Of the
former priest, hanging in the upper chamber Of
a lonely villa in the summer suburb OF Ozerki.
Finland. The villa was rented on April for
the summer, and a deposit was paid by an un-
known man from st. Petersburg, who. after
visiting the house several times in company
with a young workman. disappeared on April
II. taking the keys with him. The owner OF
the villa, alarmed at the nOn-appearance OF the
tenant, informed the police
Breaking down the door, they were confronted
by body in long coat hanging from NAIL
the feet touching the floor. Decomposition made
positive identification difficult, but the features
resembled those OF Gapon and the clothing cor
responded with that worn by the missing labor
leader.
AS signs of strangulation were absent, it is
conjectured that the man was killed elsewhere
and his body carried to the villa the night
of April 10. This would agree with the date OF
the execution of Gapon given by the secret
police, and with the death sentence of the former
priest announced in recent dispatches from
Berlin.

CITY CAN'T SPEND 81, 400
One Lone Negro Only Possible
Claimant to Martinique Fmrsd.

Mayor Mcclellan. after looking up the law,
says that it will require constitutional amend
ment to permit the city to spend the money
raised to aid the sufferers in the Mont Pelee dis
aster. About 81 400 was sent in. much Of it in
cash, and the names Of the subscribers are lost
AS is we'll known. there was no need Of sending
near Mont Pelee were killed. AS there was no
call for the money it was not sent forward.
Money in the custody Of the city TO be spent for
a specific purpose cannot be spent for anything
else.
There is no way of returning the money to the
subscribers, the names of the subscribers
are not on record. The money was raised about
four years ago, when Mayor Low was at the
City Hall, and some one lost the names of the
givers. Mayor Mcclellan has received half a
dozen letters from people who allege that they
sent money to the fund for the Martinique suf-
ferers, but where the subscription was currency
there is no way Of verifying the statement.
The money has been deposit for the last
four years, and is drawing interest at the rate
of per cent
II am informed by people In the finance de-
partment," said the Mayor on Saturday, that
we are likely to have the Martinique fund with
us indefinitely. also am informed that even
at per cent the fund will double itself every
forty-four years, and that in one thousand years
this modest fund, II left undisturbed, will
amount to the tidy sum Of $12,O0OO0OO00"
1t has been suggested that there may be pos
sible claimant for the fund in the person Of the
negro convict confined in the Jail in Martinique
at the time Of the disaster. So far as known
this man was the only human survivor Of the
disaster. He Joined a circus freak the year
after the disaster
