AN EPITAPH FOR REMINGTON.
The Artist Suggested the Inscription
for His Monument.
HE Knew the Horse.

"He Pictured the Vanishing West"
Ridgefeld, Con-, Dec. 30.-These two
characteristic inscriptions probably
will be placed on the tomb of Frederic
Remington, the artist, according to an
announcement made here following his
death. Both were suggested some
years ago by the artist himself.
Remington first attracted the atten-
ton of the public by his representa-
lions of horses. Later in life, he be-
came filled with the ambition to make
lasting record of his own peculiar
vision of the west. His interest, how
ever, was not in the west of the pres
ent day.
1.-THE west is no longer picturesque,
he said a short time before his death
sit is no longer the west of the beau
tiful and the stirring events"

Fought and Died In Battle.

Fought and Died In Battle.
Mexico City, Dec. 30.-"Mr. Knox is
not my Judge. l am answerable only
to my government"
Jose Santos Zelaya, who arrived
here from Saline Cruz thus replied to
a question as to what attitude he
would assume should Secretary Knox
seek to extradite him from this coun-
| try. Zelaya refused to discuss such
a probability, but strongly intimated
that the secretary of state would not
have the right to request his presence
in the United States.
81 have no feeling against the
American people at large nor the gov
eminent" he said. Secretary Knox
has been Systematically misinformed
and public opinion in the United
States has been prepared against me.
but the real facts must become known
in time and it is to time / trust for
my vindication.
"My relations with the preceding
American government were exceed
ingly friendly The situation contains
many unique conditions both for our
own people. in Central America and
the Americans. Secretary Root had
the complete confidence of Central
America and his policies were draw
ing the people closer together politi-
the attitude of Secretary Knox is I'M
doing all that work throughout Latin
| America"
Zelaya said American marines en-
gagged in several recents battles In
Nicaragua and that twenty of them
were killed. He said:
do you know that there were 400
Americans fighting with the revolu-
ti0nists at the battle of Rama? Do
you know that at the battle of Colo
RADIO Junction, on November l, the
bodies of twenty American marines
were picked up on the field by our
forces, all dead, and all from the
American gunboats anchored in the
river to protect American interests?
The official explanation given me was
that these men were deserters."
| Zelaya believes the confederation
!, of all the Central American republics
will ultimately be brought about, as
he says the great masses Of the peo-
pie are unionists and the principal
obstacle up to this time has been
the selfish attitude of persons in
power animated by private interests.
He favors central government for
the new republic rather than a strong
federal government, explaining his
meaning that under a central govern
ment the various states would pre-
serve their identity, having office to
transact such general business as
might concern the whole of Central
America and leaving each of the pres
ent republics more or less indepen-
dent and handling it's interior affairs.

ernor Johnson was dead,

John Albert Johnson, the sixteenth
governor of Minnesota, died at St.
Mary's hospital, Rochester, at 1925
O'Clock on Tuesday morning, Sep
TENDER q, after being in a critical
condition since undergoing a surgical
operation on Wednesday of the
previous week. Up to the last few
hours before the end came the doctors
still had hope that Governor John
son would recover, believing that in
spite of the crisis his remarkable
vitality, which had served him so we'll
on other similar occasions, might pull
him through. It was not until l:l5 a.
m. that DR.. William Mayo emerged
from the sick room and said, ''There
is absolutely no hope"
At las O'Clock it seemed as if the
end had come, for Governor johnson,
who was propped up with pillows,
fell over upon his side at the bed.
Mrs. Johnson tainted when she saw
her husband lapse into unconscious
ness. Measures were Immediately
taken to revive the patient and he was
soon restored to consciousness. Mrs.
johnson was also revived and re-
NAMED with her husband to the last.

ported that the governor was dead.

johnson talked to his wife.

Johnson talked to his wife.
II guess I'm going, Norah," he
said time after time as he held his
wife to him, stroking her hands and
face. .... ......-
! The announcement of the gov
ernor's death was made by DR.. Nc
Nevin, and Immediately thereafter the
doctor and Miss Sullivan supported
Mrs. johnson as, with trembling
steps, she was escorted to DR.. Mayo's
automobile, which was in waiting.
The operation last week was the
fourth which Governor johnson had
undergone at the hands of the Doctors
Mayo, the first and second having
been for ulcers in the stomach and
the third for an abscess in the bowels.
I Both were very acute, prolonged
cases, and the governors condition
both times was very serious. During
the third operation the appendix
was removed. After the third oper-
alton the governor enjoyed fairly
good health, though he suffered oc-
casional attacks Of Indigestion, which
later developed into an obstruction of
the bowels. These attacks covered a
period of nearly two years, though
they became more frequent during the
last year.
His illness began about two months
ago, and it was seen then that third
operation would be necessary. The
governor had determined to carry out
certain work, however, and insisted
upon delaying the operation until
after that time. He had planned to
60 to the hospital following the Taft
reception in st. Paul but he suffered
an acute attack and as soon as he re-
covered sufficiently from that he was
taken to the hospital.
s. DR.. Mayo is quoted as saying that
it was not a relapse that brought the
end, but that it was simply a weak
ness that could not be overcome.

corted the body of Governor johnson

WORK IN PROGRESS
Farmers Have Begun Hauling Crushed
Rock to Improve the Road
Across Baldwin Flats.
Should be No Cessation Until Last
Load is Hauled and Spread
Upon the Highway.

Although this is the busiest season
OF the year for farmers, on Monday
there were eleven volunteer teams at
work hauling the crushed rock from
the railroad track to the Baldwin
road. The first shovelful of rock was
thrown into o. A. Dorff's wagon by
the publisher of the Union. Mr..
Charles Judkins had the honor of de-
posting the first load on the road
Mr.. Judkins is always to the front in
matters that benefit his town. Super
visor J. b. Angstman bossed the load
ing at the track and Supervisor
Henry Young single-handed attended
to the unloading on the road. T. 81.
Galley, Elmer Whitney and R. c.
Dunn each furnished man to assist
in loading at the track. 81. W. Pres
colt and James Mckenzie came up
with their teams from Spencer Brook.
Lambert Hatch, who resides on the
north side of Rum river and never
travels the road, gave half a days
work with his team and has promised
another half day. The others who
came with teams were Chas. Judkins,
O. A. Dorf, J. 81. Angstman, Martin
Rossing, VIM. Trunk, and William
Brown generously furnished two
teams. The village team manned by
Al King also helped in the afternoon.
About so loads of the coarse rock
were hauled on Monday.
Ten or twelve teams we're promised
for Tuesday but on account of the
heavy rainfall on Monday night and
the deluge on Tuesday afternoon little
was accomplished. Mr.. Judkins and
Mr.. Angstman were on hand with
their teams for a second days work,
and they we're reinforced by Will
Hannay, Fred Murphy and Everett
Hamilton in the afternoon. Several
loads of the finer rock we're hauled
and spread over the coarse rock
hauled the day before.
On Wednesday seven teams we're en-
gagged in hauling rock, viz, those of
D. N. Hunt, S. P. Woodman 1.-TWO
teams), Fred Murphy, T. J. Kaliher,
b. B. Fisk and George Townsend.
Eighteen loads we're hauled in the
morning and twenty-eight in the after
noon.
The rain may cause some delay,
but there should be no let-up until the
last load is hauled and spread upon
the road. If there is much delay ruts
will be worn in the freshly graded
roadway and will necessitate more
grading. There ought to have been
at least 20 teams at work Monday.
Everyone should do his part. It is
not fair to expect ten Or dozen pub
llc-spirited men to do all the work.
Those who should be most interested
are the slowest to respond. There
should be some teams furnished by
people in the village. AS soon as the
weather will permit there should be
grand turnout of all the farmers in
terested and the village people should
lend hand. Let the work be COM
pleted without delay. When the two
finer grades of rock are applied a
lasting hard roadway will be oh,
tanned.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

The official report comes from Great
Britain that, upon all the railroads OF
the United Kingdom, last year, not
single pass niger lost his life through
accident, and the number injured by
accident amounted to only 2S3.
In the United States in the same
year, there were 165 passengers killed.
and the average for the last four years
was 277; also, there were, in that last
year. 1870 passengers injured IN
American train accidents. and the av-
erage in the last four years was 7,444;
yet, it is said that the roads of Great
Britain carried fifty per cent more
passengers than the roads of the Uni
ted States.
There is a lesson in these figures
well worthy Of serious considera'
ton by all. There is urgent need OF
greater care in railroad management.
