Washington Trip Brings johnson to

oSPhtoA ooSStp
ST. Paul, MINI, Dec. 17-John A
Johnson is very much IN The lime
light now. &.
Everybody has his eyes fixed on the
governor of Minnesota.
The Washington trip did it. John
went down to the national capital
and, if the correspondents stories are
to be believed, made a great impress
sion. His talk before the rivers and
harbors committee was great one.
Then he woke the echoes 1.-THE ban
quet room of the GridirOn Club. Re-
suit, everybody fell over everybody
else to grasp the hand of the St. Pet
er man.
Some southern editors have since
come out openly for Johnson for presi
dent, and a lot of other people have
swung over to him. Looks as though
q good many of the party leaders
wanted to get rid of the Bryan incub-
us and are looking for a nominee
under whose leadership they can do
it.
Governor Johnson took it all in
and exercised his customary good
judgment by keeping his mouth shut,
which is good deal more than some
OF his fool friends have done. Mean
time the Johnson feeling appears 10
be steadily growing and there are 4
good many ST. Paul people who say
nee.
The sensation of the past fortnight
has been the filing of charges against
the members of the Minnesota su-
preme court. A Minneapolis lawyer
Fraicis B. Hart-he calls himself a
"Col."-becoming dissatisfied with
things, and laid on Governor Johnson's
desk a complaint against the highest
legal tribunal of the state, asking
for Impeachment proceedings. The
governor looked over this document
upon his return from Washington but
hasn't done anything.
Then Col Hart's legal brethren
got busy and let go hot cross fire
which asks for the disbarment of
the obstreperOus filler of the complaint.
Things are likely to grow warmer be-
fore the lawyers get through knitting
each other.

The markings on the cartridge case

with the markings produced by all Of

tory, has been definitely placed upon
Company B, of the Twenty-fifth in
fantry, according to the annual report
OF Brig. Gen. William Crozier, chief Of
ordnance Of the army.
His conclusions, he says, were
reached after most careful and tech
nical investigation, the object Of which
was to identify the rifles from which
the bullets and cartridge cases, re-
ceived in evidence, had been fired.
with this end in view" he con-
tinued, "a trial was made at Spring
field armory to determine the posi-
bility of ascertaining from a micro

which it had been fired. The trial de-
veloped the fact that such Identified

said that the history of the country
