The Governor at Large.

Gov. johnson and his presidential
aspirations promise to be a valuable
asset in the publicity campaign Min
nesota is undertaking. The governor
attracted a creditable amount of
notice during the early stages of the
last campaign and succeeded in get
ting his own and the name of the state
into print quite frequently, particular
ly in the Solid South, where We need
advertising. But that is as nothing
to what is coming. AS he branches
out into the field of national promi-
nenee it becomes evident that there
is no end to what may be expected.
1t is apparent that his is no narrow
view such as hampers the aspirations
of most men of national prominence.
The governor first brought fame to
himself and Minnesota, as a presi-
Dental possibility, by making a
speech at Port Huron, Mich, advo-
eating the annexation of Canada, by
declaring that there should be one
president from the Attic to the Gulf of
Mexico. Now he would dig fourteen
foot 1920, 100000 channel from St.
Paul to st. Louis without stopping to
listen to the narrow-minded experts

Mike and the Banshee.

For number of nighs-and especial
~ when the wind blew hard-MichaeI
Mahoney had been much disturbed by
low wailings which seemingly ema-
mated from the marshes on his farm.
Upon several occasions he arose and
peered through his bedroom window,
feeling, as he expressed it, 'mighty
creepy" but he failed to discover from
whence the moaning sound came. He
at last came to the conclusion that it
was banshee, that the wa1ling was
that of lost soul,-so he induced
Herman Klein to sleep with him.
Herman told Mike that he had never
heard a banshee but he would not be
afraid of a regiment of them. "I'm
glad you are not afraid, me boy" re-
sponded Mike, "tonight we'll watch
and pray" And upon that night the
vail of the banshee was heard as
usual. Herman admitted that Mike
had grounds for fear and said he
never heard such an unearthly sound
before. Tomorrow III hunt that
thing by daylight, Mike,'' declared
he: "I'm determined to find from
whence that uncanny sound comes"
So in he morning ne started off across
the farm. He hunted in the woods. the
brush and the swamps, and was about
to give up the search when be espied
in the branches of scrub oak small
drain pipe of elbow shape. Upon
approaching nearer he heard a low
moan and soon ascertained that it
was caused by the wind coursing
through the pipe. He carried the
elbow back to Mike and, placing it
down in front of him. exclaimed,
"Here's your banshee." The story
of the capture was explained and Mike
said he would have sworn that the cries
emanated from a real banshee, for
they were exactly the same as be heard
in his youth coming from the boys of
old Ireland.

Swindler Commits Suicide,

One of the greatest swindlers of
modern times committed suicide at
Ellicott City, Maryland, while being
arrested by postofice inspectors on
Saturday on charges of using the mails
to defraud. The man proved to be
Orlan Clyde Cullen, a native of St.
Paul. He was 81 years of age. Gull
lens father was at one time an Indian
agent in the northwest and he was a
nephew of O. O. Cullen, formerly
president of the Windsor Hotel CON-
pany. st. Paul.
The postofice inspectors of Wash
ington, D. c., say Cullen was one of
b the smoothest confidence men in the
country, and that they had been on a
hunt for him for several years. He is
indicted in almost half the states, they
say. In Ellicott City he was known
as A. K. Crawford.
He has worked all kinds of swindl-
ing games, at one time pretending to
be an agent of the Russian American
Military league and collecting funds
for the professed purpose of aiding
Russian refugees. He was also the
promoter of fake colonization schemes.
During the recent campaign he was
through Maryland making speeches
for Bryan, holding commission from
Chairman Mack of the democratic
national committee, and last spring
he was in St. Paul, where he tried to
identify himself with the Johnson
campaign, saying his aim was to
organize johnson clubs throughout
the southwest.
Cullen's wife claims to have had
no knowledge of the class of business
her husband was engaged in. She
says she met him once week to obtain
money for household expenses, but
where or how he obtained the money
she did not know.
The room in which he was captured
was veritable arsenal. In it were
found Winchester repeating rifle, one
Remington pistol, two Colts pistols
and two heavy-caliber pistols, all
loaded to the full capacity. In addi-
ton there was a satchel filed with
ammunition.

RECITAL A SUCCESS.
Miss kathrine Davis Proved Herself
to be an EIocutionist Pos
sessing Rare Ability.
Assisted in the Program by Her Sis.
ter, Hiss Almatia Davis, and
Princeton Musicians.

Entertaining, indeed was the recital
given in the high school assembly
room on Friday evening by Miss
Rathrine Davies, elocutionist, for
the benefit of the Eighth grade piano
fund. In the rendition of each mum
Der she displayed remarkable ability.
Her voice was clear and pleasing
her delivery exceptionally fine.
Miss Davies was assisted by her
sister, Miss Almatia Davies, and
local talent. AS a pianist Miss
Almatia Davies has few, if any,
superiors in this part of the country.
The execution was excellent-Miss
Davies seemed to throw her whole
soul into the rendition of her selec-
tions.
Mrs. M. M. Stroeter, who was
on the program for a vocal solo, was
unable to attend. but in her place
DR.. Lester gave piano solo. In the
second part of the program Miss
Lundquist sang a solo which received
much applause and DR.. Lester also
rendered vocal solo in fine
manner.
The sum Of twenty-five dollars was
taken in, half of which Miss Davies
received for her services and, after
paying other expenses, about nine
dollars remained for the piano fund,

PROMOTIONS
First Sergeant Henry D. Marshall Be-
comes Lieutenant and G. E..
Bulls First Sergeant.
Regular Army Instructor Will Drill
Members of Company q Four
Weeks This Winter,

The following changes have gone
into effect in Company G, M. N. c.,
since November 1: First Sergeant 81.
D. Marshall has been promoted to
second lieutenant and Sergeant Chas.
E. Bulls has been promoted to first
sergeant. The vacancy in the grade
of sergeant will be filed from the COR
porals and corporal will be selected
from the privates. An examination
will be held on Thursday evening,
January Z, at the armory for this pur-
pose, and hereafter all non-commis-
stoned officers will be selected in this
way. Notice of such examinations
will be given thirty days in advance.
A sergeant from the regular army
has been detailed to Company G for
four weeks during the latter part OF
the winter for the purpose of instruct
ing the militiamen in the science of ex-
tended order, advance and rear guard,
outpost duty and whatever else may
be necessary.
All intending to enlist for the sum-
mer maneuvers should do so at this
time in order to take advantage of the
instruction offered.
A hike for the summer camp is now
a certainty, and it is probable that
company commanders will not be per-
mitted to enlist men at a late date who
do so only to 60 to camp.
In order to advance the standing of
the company at the end of each month
all who are not up to the average in
attendance will be discharged for the
good of the service. A list of these
will in every case be published in the
U ion. The attendance has i'm
proved since this plan was decided
upon, and it is believed that by the
end of the winter Company G will be
one OF the best militia organizations
in the state. Although it may lose
some members it is certain that those
who remain will be of the right stuff
men who can be depended upon.
