JOHNSON In WASHINGTON.
Minnesota Governor Well Treated
BY Everybody There.

Washington, May 1.-Governor John
A. Johnson of Minnesota and party were
introduced to President Roosevelt yes
terday morning by Senator Nelson. The
visit lasted about half an hour, an I'M
usually long time for the president dur
ing the busy hours of the day to give to
any causal caller. The president express
ed his thanks TO Governor johnson for
what he had done in the insurance ques-
| ton and said he had received his first
suggestion as to what he ought to do
from the course the governor was pur-
suing.
The governor expressed his apprecia-
| ton of the fact that the president had
referred to him i'll so complimentary a
way in the annual message to congress.
The president replied that he had only
done what he thought to be fair and
right.
81 have some pretty serious faults, .
| he added, 'but failure to recognize and
applaud the wise and patriotic acts of
public men, no matter of what polit-
zeal party, is not one of them"
Governor Johnson very earnestly re-
quested the president to consider care
| fully the invitation he would soon re-
ceive to attend the Grand Army annual
encampment in Minneapolis in August.
He was told that this was to be one of
the last of the big encampments. He
was interested and said he would be
very glad to come, but that business and
other plans already perfected would
prevent.
Governor Johnson and Aessrs. Rosing
and Shulz went to Philadelphia last
evening. They will be in that city two
or three days helping boost Minenapo-
lis as the next place of meeting of the
National Board of Charities and Cor
rections. They then will visit several
correctional institutions in New York,
Massachusetts and other eastern states,
arriving in ST. Paul early in the week
of May 20.
Governor Johnson's first visit to
Washington since his election has been a
pleasant one. The rules of both houses
of congress give him the privileges of
the floor as chief executive of one of the
states, and he availed himself of that
privilege under the escort of members of
the Minnesota delegation.
He was much interested in the railroad
debate in the senate and paid as close
attention as possible in the intervals of
greeting members of that body on both
sides of the chamber
In the house he attracted more than
usual attention, especially among the
democrats, who remembered his phe-
nomenal race for the governorship two
years ago.
John Sharp Williams, the democratic
leader, was one of the party that escort
ed the governor to the speakers room,
where pleasant fifteen minutes was
spent with ''Uncle Joe" Cannon.

TOWN IN A TURMOIL.
Mayor Leaves and Trouble Results,
All improvements Stop.

Sterling, ILL.,, May ll.-Business at
Tampico, south of this city, is at a
standstilI Saloon licenses for the pres
ent wear have not been granted. The sa-
looms are closed. Work on paving
project is tied up.
All this is because Mayor Kempt will
neither attend meeting of the village
board nor resign. At the present time
he is in Canada, having gone to the
Dominion three months ago, where he
will reside, but claims Tampico as his
home. The village council is composed of
six councilmen-three license and three
anti-license.
Last night the council attempted to
elect one of their members mayor, but
every time it was attempted it resulted
three for and three against it. Every
councilman was nominated, but every
vote resulted in turning down the nomi-
nee.
The council adjourned, shut up the sa-
looms, stopped street paving and dis
charged the appointive officers of the vii
lage. The council refuses to declare the
office of mayor vacant.

Where was Mr.. McCleary during that
memorable period when the republican
insurgents licked the old house organi-
zation? Why he was so mum that he
did not get even one minutes time to
talk to the congressional appendix.
Where is he today? Meekly follow
ing the declining empire of republican

waters of public sentiment which soon
err or later will carry his craft along
the crest until Saline river is reached.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
COURT HAS TO FIT CORSEI'S
And After One Rash Suggestion DOesn't
Exactly See How to DO II.

A pair of made to order corsets have
presented a problem to Municipal Justice
Roesch that he is finding hard. The corsets
are of ample proportions and were made by
Theresa V. Hynds, who calls herself a cor
setiere. for Mrs. Dora Sterne. But Mrs.
Sterne complains that they fit her too
quick. and has refused to pay the s25 which
Mrs. Hynds charges. SO Mrs Hynds sued
for the money.
Justice Roesch looked at Mrs. Sterne
and looked at the corsets. He said he
thought they ought to fit. Mrs. Hynds
assured him that her husband John G.
Hynds. had measured Mrs. Sterne's waist
and bust very carefully, and that the cor
sets, being made to the exact measure
ments, should and must ft like glove.
Mrs. Sterne declared they pinched her,
but didn't specify where. friend of hers
who had seen them tried on was equally
sure thew didn't fit.
"Why not try them on right now?" sug-
gested the Court Then he added quickly.
