by the most profound sorrow In the
history of the state. The people
were present to pay the last tribute
of respect to the memory of John A.
Johnson, as a man, not to pour hon.
ors upon him; they were not there to
think of the governor of the State of
Minnesota, but of John A. Johnson.
He said that he had known Cover
nor Johnson for twenty-five years
He had known him as man ready
to meet difficulties; one who had
overcome the Universities of his youth
and conquered all obstacles.
Governor Johnson was an
ambitious and fair fighter; he always
gave his opponents a fair chance.
He advanced by the application of
all his energies towards success.
Johnson was clean man because
he believed in something. He was
member of the Christian church
one who made his Christianity a
part of that great development of
his success"
The governor was not self-made
man, said the speaker; he simply
brought to his assistance and made
use of all of the better opportunities
and conditions that were at hand.
He was broad-minded, kind-hearted
and just.
John A. Johnson was a fine ex-
ample of what can be accomplished
by unity of purpose and true man
hood. It is a success not marked
by the dollar mark; and John A.
Johnson's success was not recognized
by the dollar mark"

the orchestra and choir.
E. E. Mcdonald, who had for many
years been close personal friend
of Governor Johnson, was the next
speaker.
Mr.. Mcdonald was much affected
by the solemnity of the occasion and
it was with difficulty that he held
his composure at different points in
his address.
He referred to the death of Senator
Davis and of several justices of the
state supreme court and told of their
bringing honor and distinction to
the state of Minnesota; but he be.
lleved that the death of Governor
Johnson was one which affected the
people more than the demise of any
of the gentlemen named.
Deep as this feeling may be-"
said Mr.. Mcdonald. yet the feeling
that now overcomes US, as his body
is slowly lowered into its last resting
place, is the overwhelming sense o.
realization that comes with the
thought that we have lost friend

AS token OF the esteem IN winch
the late Governor Johnson was held
by the people of Bemidji, several
hundred local citizens assembled in
the city hall yesterday afternoon at
2 o'clock and participated in the
exercises which were tribute to the
memory of the chief execute, who
was personally known to many
Bemidji people.
All of the principal business
places in the city were closed
between and 4 o'clock and the
schools were dismissed at noon.
1t had been arranged to start the
exercises in the city hall at the same
hour that the funeral services were
being conducted at the old home of
the governor in St. Peter; and
promptly al 2 o'clock, the program
was announced by P. J. Russell of
this city an old personal friend of
the governor, who had been chosen
to act as chairman of the occasion.
The stage was beautifully draped
with American flags and black crepe.
In the center of the stage was a
picture of the late Governor Johnson,
which was also draped in black.
The exercises were participated in
by the Bemidji orchestra, under the
direction of Prof. Harry Masten,
with Mrs. A. A. Warfeld as pianist;
the choir composed of Miss Hanson,
Miss Warhes, Mr.. Rood and Mr..
Warfeld; E. E. Mcdonald, A. P.
Richie and Archdeacon Parshall,
with Miss Leila Stanton furnishing
violin solo.
The first number on the program
was the hymn, Nearer, My God,
To Thee" which was sang by the
choir, accompanied by the orchestra.
AS the beautiful notes of the grand
old hymn vibrated through the hall
and down the stairway, a silent tea,
was shed in memory of the lovable
man whose untimely demise was SC
sincerely regretted.
P. ]. Russell spoke a few brie1
words, which were from the bottom
of his heart. He said that the
occasion was the saddest in the an
mails of Minnesota; and that Mime
sofa was weeping as she never wert
before.
Mr.. Russell referred to the ap
pearance of Governor Johnson ir
the same hall, on previous occasion!
when the chief executive had beer
greeted with tumultuous applause
and hearty handicap.
The speaker stated that it had
been his privilege to know tn,
deceased very we'll, he and the late
governor having been born within Z
few miles of each other, and the,
had enjoyed a personal Friendship
for thirteen years.
Mr.. Russell spoke few words OF
praise of the exemplary character Of
Governor Johnson and concluded b
saying:
MAY his rise from a humble
position to the highest Office in tn
gift of a great state be an inspiration
to the youth of Minnesota for year
to come"
Miss Leila Stanton rendered
very beautiful violin solo, in al
artistic manner. The selection wa
of subdued character and apprc
pirate to the occasion.
Archdeacon Parshall was the mex
speaker. He stated that the peopl

Senate Puzzled Over Roosevelt Busts

While Senator Wetmore, chairman
of the library committee, has not com
mitted himself in favor of either one
it is rumored that he and the other
members of the committee are dis
posed to award the palm to strenu
Osity.
'Tis said they think the senate will
feel more at home with that one look
ing down on it's deliberations. But
the rub comes on account of the fact
that Col. Roosevelt has himself ex
pressed preference for his reposefu
SELF
Before he left the White House he
was shown the work of Mr.. Frazier
and did not hesitate a moment ii
mank his choice.
OF course, the committee recognizes
that Col. Roosevelt ought to have
something to say about his own bust
but the question it is trying to decide
is how much. The committee is in
clined to think thaS the senate ought
to have something to say about the
matter, too.
1t is truly knotty problem, and one
that is likely to cause the library
committee much worry.

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food,

The story Of the great discoveriea
or inventions Is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack OF bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va.
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that a food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance In brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
AOOOs ~ COAIdAuS Iu0 UIdAu duu uOIV0
building food elements In condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi.
ness and marked activity of the brain
and nervous system. making it q
pleasure for one to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
drape-Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
OF brain and nerves.
Its favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly. with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of, c. W. Post. is to be seen on
each genuine package of Grape.Nuts.
