Mrs. Homer Daniels, after a long
and severe. illness, passed away at
4:30 o'clock this morning at her home,
2lS Marshall street, of accomphcation
of diseases. Some eighteen months ago
she developed cancer, and was ope-
rated upon last November, and for
ed. Complications set in however,
and when she was taken with typhoid
fever in July her condition became
serious, and it was a losing fight, in
spite of all that could be done.

late j. X. Meade, and her maiden name
was Clara Mead She is survived by

family, who will have the sympa-
thv of their many friends.

JACOB T. JACOBSON DOESN'T WA YER;
HE HAS MET THE ISSUES SQLlARELY

composed of workingmen, business men
and the best citizens OF Duluth.
The Lac qui Parle man went bold
ly into the divided responsibility ques-
ton, and showed that he was justi-
fed in his assertion that democrat
office holders and republican salary
boosters united to increase salaries
under system in which no party
could be held responsible. He showed
that the system resulted in an in
crease of over $l,0O0,000 in state ex-
penses under Governor Johnson's adj
ministration, but he held Mr.. Johnson
accountable only in part. However, Mr..
jacobson felt that it, was only just,
since the governor claims credit for
all good things that he be compelled
to assume his share at least of the
responsibility for extravaganza.
Mr. jacobson demonstrated that de-
spite the amounts collected under the
gross earnings and iron ore laws, it
was necessary FOX the state to borrow
$lll,000 in the first and $4,000 in
the second johnson administrations to
cover extravagant appropriations. Gov
eruor Johnson had said that Mr.. ia
cobson also was responsible for extra
appropriations, because as a member
of the board Of control he had recon-
mended increased salaries for en-
ploves of state institutions. Mr.. ia
cobson answered that he had asked
that the salaries of nurses who were
getting $27 TO $40 month be in
creased 10 per cent, a piece OF extra
vagance of which he was proud.
Mr. jacobson added that he had not
recommended an increase III the gov
errors salary by $500 a. year. He

Montevideo, Sept. 24-Jacob T. ia
cobson, republican candidate for COVER
nor or Minnesota, spoke here last
night before a packed house Cover
nor John A. Johnson, the democratic
nominee for third term, was here
the night previous.
AR. Jacobson boldly faced every at
tack and insinuation made. against
him by Governor Johnson, and met
every question raised in a way that
carried conviction.
Mr.. Jacobson said his position on
most of the questions raised was well
known to the opposition, but because
he had not repeated his sentiments
every two weeks it was intimated that
something was wrong. He came out
souarelv for county option and de-
elared he had stood for it before and
would sign q county option bill if OPP
portnnitv We're offered.
Governor Johnson. he said. described
his statement made at Clarkfeld as
vague. but. he commented. it was fair
to ask what is Johnson's position on
the question.
Governor Johnson claimed that there
was no increase of taxation during his
administration, but Mr.. jacobson
showed that taxes for state purposes
had increased from one mill to one
and seven-tenths mills, and the per
capita tax from Sl.90 to S3.4S.
Disposed of Criticism.

cism of the speakers Duluth speech,

Nothing Doing at Park.
Aid. Eichstaedt said that nothing
was done at the park that he knew
of it, The street committee had had
a hard row to hoe,' as things had been
done that it did not know of, and he
therefore favored a purchasing agent.
Ald.I Atchison said that in the twin
cities, if men are wanted to work on
the streets, they were apportioned
among the aldermen to supply. The
Mankato aldermen were never asked
to supply men for city work. There
were men working for the city who
the aldermen would not hire for a
minute. Because man Is street com
missioner, he should not have power
to dictate who was to be hired. There
are men working on the streets who
are worth thousands of dollars, and
there are poor men in the city with
families who have no work.
After some further discussion the
motion was carried, only Aid. Eich-

Fourteen Animals Are Burned at
Fairmont Late Yesterday.
FARMERS ARE HEAVY LOSERS
The Wallace Livery Barn sSuccumbs
to Flames, Contents of the Barn
Are Totally Destroyed.

Fairmont, Sept. 29.-Fourteen horses
were burned to-death in fire which
destroyed Wallace's livery barn in
Fairmont yesterday afternoon. The fire
was first discovered at. 2:3O O'Clock
by Mr.. Wallace's boy and hired man
who were working in the barn. The
first intimation they had that the
building was OH fire was when the
burning hay began to drop from the
NOW i'll the manger in the north
west corner OF the building. In an
instant the whole interior of the barn
was a seething mass. of smoke and
flame. The employees Immediately cut
the halter ropes of nearly all the
frightened horses but the poor be-
wildered animals were SO checked and
blinded that they did not leave the
burning building and only four or five
were saved. a-
Everything Was Destroyed.
All of the buggies, harnesses and
grain, hay, etc, were completely de-
stroyed. Within ten minutes of the
first alarm the building had col
lapsed, SO rapidly had the flames
progressed. The wind blew a hurri-
cane from the northwest, driving the
flames SO freely that /tle entire
structure was alame almost instantly.
OF the ineinerated horses one was

a good team and harness and NJ. X.

driving horse, one of a span It's
mate broke its halter and was one
of the few which rushed out of the
building, it's. name and tail singed.
All of the other horses were the
property of Mr.. Wallace. Chester Brodt
lost a good single driving horse and Mr..
Hiatt of Rolling Green one.
Saved Adjoining Property. =
The fire company made d quick
response but could do nothing more
than keep down the flames and re-
duce the menace to surrounding pro-
perty. Twenty minutes after the alarm
had been turned in the fire was out
and the barn mere smoldering
pile Of blackened ruins, covering the
remains of the persisted animals.
The loss is roughly estimated at
e3 800. Dean & Palmer's agency car
ried $1,000 insurance on the building.
We understand Mr. Wallace carried
little if any insurance and the loss will
be a heavy one for him to stand.

thought there probably would be some
scramble for the office at the old sal
airy. ,,.,rs,-
Governor johnson in his speech gave
a few items only from an ,appfopria-
tion bill, showing $4,000 appropriated
for crippled children and similar pur-
poses. He insinuated, said the speaker,
that jacobson had advocated discon-
tinuing these appropriations. MIR. ia
oobson showed that he had been in
strumental in passing the first such
bill. He was not advocating the cur
failing of such items, but he did favor
cutting the salaries of officers who We're
getting more than. enough.
Mr.. jacobson took up his own legis-
lative record and showed what he had
accomplished and helped to accomplish,
mentioning the open market law, the
gross earnings law etc.
He said the duties prescribed by law
for the governors were few, but the
possibilities to do good should keep a
man busy ten hours a day 365 days in
the year.
He mentioned, the policies he would
advocate if elected and said he would
recommend laws for improving the
rivers, drainage, preserving forests and
reforesting cutover lands in the north
ern part of the state. He would have

Mr. jacobson made a good. speech

kins university has again taken up the
subject of the nativity of Jesus. He
declared he was able to contribute, fresh
evidence that the Nazariae was an
Aryon. This was based oil the conten-
ton that tile land Off Klamath in the
biblical and cuneiform records of the
Assyrian conquest of northern Pales-
tine under Tiglath Pileser was identical
with Galilee, whence Tiglath deported
the Hebrew population, colonizing the
land with Ayrans. The professor then
recited how the last remnant of the
Jews were taken to Jerusalem by Ju-
das Maccabaeus to escape persecution,
and how half century later the Cali
leans were compelled to adopt the
Jewish faith. 1t followed that Jesus
did not belong to the House of David.
