All breeders offer to lake their
chances in the awards, but for Red
Polls and Galloways no premiums
had been advertised and it was for
this reason the owners of herds from
this stock wrote soliciting recogni-
tion on the same basis as other cat
tie
The value of such an exhibit, it is
stated, lies in the fact that it would
encourage the raising of better cattle
in the state and the introduction Of
breeds which are not raised extensive

A number of prisoners who have
been locked up in the city Jail for
drunkenness complain that they
have been robbed, or rolled. French
lie" Arthur Willett, is the last one,
but as he has only a hazy recollec-
ton, as to where he was arrested,
he probably had no better memory
as to how much money ne spent, and
II he spent $7.35 in booze in one
evening, he probably also spent the
other $40.
Decent people are getting exceed
ingly tired of the Internal racket that
Is raised at night on the streets. es-
pecially Saturday nights, and there
is no intention of having the scenes
of last year repeated. Saturday
night, ladies complained that they
could not shop, there was so many
drunks around.
The Herald is not in favor Of the
local option law as it works out: nor
is it in favor of seeing our beautiful
city and county disgraced by loi
of conscienceless men poisoning the

want alcoholic liquors cannot get
them; and when the liquors are OBJ
tanned surreptitiously and drunk in

PASSING OF GOV
ERNOR JOHNSON.
Thrice Elected Governor of Minnesota and
Most Probable Presidential Can
didate for 1912.

Rochester Mimi, Sept. 21.-Gov-
ernor John A. Johnson. three times
elected governor of Minnesota and
candidate for democraticc nomina-
tion for president of the United
States and looked upon by many as
the possible democratic nominee at
the next election, in 1912, died at
st. Mary's hospital at 1926 o'clock.
this morning, following an opera
tion last Wednesday.
Governor Johnson was in a leth-
argic state during the greater part of
the night, but occasionally was a.
roused, especially after coughing.
and would then mutter a few words
to Mrs. Johnson. At times he SEEM
ed to wish that the time might
come, for on one occasion he said:
My time drags slowly, / am so un-
comfortable"
The governor lapsed into uncon-
sciousness at o'clock. Towards the
end he revived and raised himself
several times to pat his wife on the
cheeks. His last words were: 'Wen
Nora guess I'm going; we have
made a brave fight"
Governor Johnson had been oper-
ated on twice before. first for remov-
al of ulcers from the stomach and
second for an abcess OF the bowels.
Both were acute prolonged cases,
and the governor was in a serious
condition each time. During the
second operation his appendix was
removed After the second opera
ton the governor enjoyed fairly
good health, but had spells Of indi-
gestion which developed into SER
ious attacks during the past two
years.
A Remarkable Career
To those who watch the signs Of
the times Governor johnson was re-
garded as the probable nominee Of
the democratic party for the presi-
dency in 1912 The fact that three
times he was elected governor in a
state Of big republican maiorities.
attracted to him the attention Of the
nation.
The career Of John A. Johnson
was one OF the most remarkable in
the annals of American history. lie
was born July 2S, 1861, at st. Peter.
Mimi, OF Swedish parents. His
childhood and youth were passed in
great poverty, and at the age Of 13
he was compelled TO leave school in
order to assist in the support of his
family. His mother was hard
working woman. and Johnson's de-
votion to her during her life was Of
a most fervant nature.
Though all his formal education
was early cut short his self educa-
tion never stopped. A student at all
times, wide reader and thought
full one, Mr. johnson. after some
years of abscure toll as drug and
grocery clerk and railway timekeep-
er, became at the age Of "a. editor
of the St. Peter Herald. a weekly
publication. He soon became known
as one Of the ablest of Minnesota
journalists, and was recognized as
one of the leaders of journalism in
a state remarkable for the vigor and
influence Of its press. AS a country
editor he was gradually drawn into
politics and in 1898 was elected a
member Of the legislature his first
public work being as member Of
that body From the first ne was j.
Identified with the various reform
measures which since have become
laws in Minnesota

The stock show at the Intermoun-
tain fair this year will be the greatest
in the history of Idaho, its success
being doubly assured by the announ-
cement last night at the close of the
meeting of the directors of the assoc
iation that many of the big eastern.
herds which have been exhibiting at
Seattle will come to Boise. This
feature, which it is believed will be
the fairs greatest attraction, is made
possible for the necessity of a stop
over for the stock between Seattle
and Denver
Herds range from Is to 80 head
and include the best stock of the
most foremost breeders of America,
and viii include Hereford, Red Poll,
Holstein, Galloway and Angus stock.
Premium lists have been amended
so as to include these and to offer
some special inducement so this
stock will not come in competition
with Idaho herds and so as much OF
the Seattle stock show reproduced in
Boise as possible
Herds Unexcelled.
Many of the herds are unexcellec
on the continent and have carried
away first prizes at Chicago, Denver
Des Moines, Portland and Seattle.
The directors of the association a
the meeting were unanimous in thei
opinion that Idaho should not mis-
this opportunity for the greatest stool
show ever held in the intermountaiI
country and Secretary w. H. Gibson
was instructed to answer the lette
of the breeders accepting their offe
to exhibit in Boise for the fair weel
and to get into correspondence witt
others who would be making the tri
east at that time with a view to max
