.LEAv|TT'S HEAD TO FALL
He IS PERSONA NON GRATA TO
GOVERNOR JOHNSON.
Republican Member Of the Board Of
Control Must Walk the Chalk;
the Other Changes.

st. Paul, Nov. Ex-Governor John

probability remain the same as it
has the past four years, with the posi-,
BILE exception of one or two. But
several republican holdoyers may have
to walk the plank
Information on this point is refused
but the talk going the rounds indicates
that something is due to happen. The
few changes contemplated. however,
will not take place much before the
first of the year.
One republican officeholder due to
bid farewell to his job is S. w. Lea
witt of the state board of control. Mr.
Leavitt was staunch jacobson follow
er in the late contest and made him
self obnoxious to the administration
in the alleged bitterness of his attack.
Who his successor will be is not
known at this date, but the appointee
will undoubtedly be a democrat, which
will place the board in the hands of
that party for some years to come.
Another official for whom walking
papers are being prepared is Charles
Moose, secretary of the state board of
pharmacy. Though the board is demo
cratic, he was retained the past two
years, but it is said identified him
self with the opposition in the late
The one democratic member of the
whose official head is
in doubt is Labor Commissioner Will
liams. He was little heard of in the
late campaign, and it is said his re-
tirement has been decided upon. Will
liams for the past two years has not
had the most cordial relations with
the administration, and it is said he

The one other place to fill is that of

his successor ever since. No one has
been agreed upon as yet, though there
are several candidates.

ELK SHOT NEAR SHERBURN
IL Was the Animal About Which So
Much Has Been Said.

EalrmOnt Sentinel: FROM JOhn ii.
Grill, member of the state game and
fish commission we learn of the shoot
ing of the wild deer or caribou that
has caused so much comment the past
two weeks. On Monday, Nov. 2,
Game Wardens jenkins of Sherburn
and Dunn of jackson turned over to
Commissioner Grill the head and hide OF
as beautiful specimen as ever roamed.
for several days following well found
ed rumors and armed with an official
search warrant the find was made with
young farmer living five miles north
of Sherburn. 1t is understood the
animal was shot on Monday, aOct. 26,
in the timber along Elm Creek. Nj
merous reports of having seen a
strange wild animal have been current
of late and it is to be regretted any
one was so indiscreet as to have shot
by our game laws. The hide and
broadly antlered head were objects of
much interest to Sherburn people the
two days they were held at GrilPs
hardware. They were shipped to ST.
Paul to the state game commission
by Commissioner Grill on Tuesdays
Milwaukee passenger. Mr. Grill gives
much credit to the young man for the
full and frank manner in which he
has stated his part in the matter,
when he recognized his obligation.
Mr.. Grill will go to st. Paul on
Wednesday to attend a regular meet
ing of the state commission and it
is to be hoped the penalty attached
to the illegal shooting may be mini
mized for the young man. He will
undoubtedly have to face a serious
charge in the matter, as we under
stand the killing of protected large
game IS no small offense under the
statutes.

The decisive victory of Joseph g.
Cannon in Illinois and the defeat of
certain congressman who were pledged
to throw their support to another man
for speaker seems effectually to have
quoted the move to GUST the presiding
officer of the house. 1t is reported now
that those who were leading the move
ment against Mr.. Cannon have decided
to compromise by demanding a revision
of the house rules so as to allow the
majority more sway in bringing up
bills for consideration.
The speaker will be asked early i'll
the short session to agree upon some
general plan of giving the house better
control of its own business. One Of
the schemes is an increase of the rules
committee to seven members to be
elected by the house, instead of being
appointed by the speaker.

Given the same length of time, the
meetings of the Southern Minnesota
Educational association, which closed
its session i'll this city at noon today
would equal in every way those of the
Minnesota State Educational associa-
ton, according to the declaration of
prominent educator who was until
recently an officer of the latter organi-
cation.
The present meeting is by far the
most successful in the history of the
Southern Minnesota Educational as
ISOLATION. 1t is growing in Importance
by leaps and bounds and at the pre-
ent rate of progress will soon equal
the state association.
A year ago 42s teachers were en-
rolled. AT this meeting the enroll
ment is $40, which in addition to
seventyfve other members and those
from the normal school bring the
total attendance figures up to more
than nine hundred.
Inasmuch as this is larger than the
membership of the state organization
only a few years ago, and because
in 1904 it was difficult to secure an
attendance of one hundred in order to
secure convention rates OH railroads,
the rate of growth may be seen.
The program at the meeting
except in point of length, compared
very favorablv with any introduced
at a state meeting. Withal it is fully
evident that the Southern Minnesota
Education association meeting was re-
markably successful
The session yesterday was one of
great profit to those who heard the
papers and addresses. A pithy, prac-
teal address was delivered by Pro-
fessor Sigerfoos of the geological de-
partment at the state university, the
Carleton college was well reviewed,
that by Miss Gildemeister of the Wi
mona normal school faculty was ex-
cellent and a happy summing up was
made by DR.. James, dean of the school
of education at the state university.
II was ledCueu WIFI Gue
address of Dean George +. Vincent,
professor of sociology, university of
Chicago, which dwelt upon the nesses-
sity of the school taking up social
problems which were formerly solved
in the home. The address was witty
and entertaining but not at the sac
rifce of strong practical value.
The Recital Last Night.
The early evening program last
night was given in the normal hall
where Mr.. Henry i. Southwick, presi-
dent of the Emerson School of Ora
tory, Boston, appeared in a dramatic
recital. Mankato people who have
heard Dean Southwick on pre-
yious occasions congratulated him
last evening in his appearance as Presi
dent Southwick.
Mr.. Southwick gave dramatic read
ing of Sheridan's "The Rival" in a
most satisfying manner. The house
was crowded and it is pleasant to
think of the inspiration to be car

The Reception.
The Mankato high school chorus
contributed several musical numbers
of the recital program and won much
favor. Praises of the work of the
chorus were heard many times to-
day.
The reception in the normal school
library last evening was enjoyed more
thoroughly than anything else on the
program. The spacious room was
crowded with people and all spent a
very pleasant hour.
The room was decorated with palms
and foliage and large bouquets of
chrysanthemums, and punch was serv

were arranged by Miss Farr, the Ii

REPORT OF GAME WARDEN
M onthIy Meeting Of the Com mission
Was Held Yesterday.
From Fridays Daily.

cJ"fn rTlUdy 3 bdlly.
The report of Charles Avery, exec
utive officer of the state game and fish
commission, to that body at the
monthly meeting yesterday afternoon
showed that fifty-three arrests and
convictions have been made during
the past month by deputy game war
dens. The game wardens have been
very active for the past year, and
more than one pot hunter has been
caught. Men with more ducks than
they should have, with fish or game
caught out of season, or prohibited al
together, have been arrested and in
most cases convictions have been Sc
cured. The fines ranged from $40 to
$50.
The report also showed that $3.50
had been collected during the past
month by the sale of nonresident
small game licenses. The sale of big
game licenses for the season which
opens next Tuesday is rather brisk.
